After the Earthquake of Rebirth

Stepping on the firewood, Ning Qiyan got into the storage room and found the unused soft charcoal and a small barbecue stove. With these things, heating food is no problem, even if you can't find firewood, you can still keep warm!

Then I started to prepare food with Ning Xiaowen, first steamed two pots of steamed buns with noodles, and then steamed the remaining sausages in the freezer, as for the meat skewers outside the door...

The two snorted coldly, thinking beautifully, it's really like going out for a picnic and barbecue? !

Bring a kettle so that you can boil hot water at any time, and once you come back too late and you finish eating steamed buns and intestines, you can also eat instant noodles. Bring a box of instant noodles... By the way, you can boil some eggs...

It was past six o'clock when they came back from picking mushrooms, and when everything was ready, it was already two o'clock in the morning, and Du Cheng and Hu Zi had already been sent to bed by Ning Qiyan.

After re-checking the two hiking bags that had been packed, Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen climbed onto the Kang and lay down to sleep after making sure that nothing was missing.

This sleep was not solid, and Ning Qiyan woke up with Du Cheng beside him.

"What time is it?" Ning Qiyan frowned and asked softly.

"It's not until seven o'clock. Go to sleep again." Du Cheng embraced Ning Qiyan, kissed him on the brow, and then whispered.

Feeling that the person in his arms was visibly stiff for a while before slowly relaxing, Du Cheng couldn't help but smile.

After Du Cheng put on his clothes and left the room first, Ning Qiyan patted his hot face, quickly put on his clothes and followed him out.

After accidentally meeting Du Cheng's eyes in the brightly lit lobby, Ning Qiyan coughed lightly pretending not to care, turned his gaze away, and started making breakfast, but Du Cheng was secretly laughing as he looked at his red ears.

After a while, Hu Zi and Ning Xiaowen also came out together.Ning Qiyan glanced inadvertently, and stayed on Ning Xiaowen's obviously red and swollen lips for a second, then continued to lower his head to cut pickles seemingly casually, but a row of ellipsis floated in his heart.

It's just a kiss on the forehead, why is he embarrassed, didn't he not blush just after kissing? !

After breakfast, Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen didn't send Du Cheng and the others to the foot of the mountain, but stayed at the entrance of the cave to give a few instructions, then watched the two of them carry the mountaineering bag, empty water bucket and two small barrels of gasoline. downhill.

Ning Qiyan and the two of them closed the door until they could no longer see anyone.

The mushrooms that Hu Zi and Du Cheng had washed the day before were placed in clean plastic bags, and the small mushrooms that could be threaded and air-dried without cutting were packed separately. Ning Xiaowen threaded the needle and thread, starting with these small mushrooms.

Ning Qiyan was in charge of cutting the big mushrooms.

After about two hours, Ning Qiyan put down the knife, left the space and went to the cave to have a look, what if there is really an exchange point for what he was looking for?In this way, maybe Du Cheng and Huzi can come back directly after switching.

With this in mind, Ning Qiyan would go to the cave to have a look every hour or so.At noon, the two of them didn't bother to cook, so they soaked two bags of instant noodles, and the food was delicious.

It wasn't until it was completely dark outside, and Du Cheng and the others didn't come back, that Ning Qiyan gave up and stopped running back and forth.

"What do we have for dinner tonight?" Ning Qiyan asked.

Ning Xiaowen thought for a while, "Why don't we eat barbecue too?"

Ning Qiyan blinked, "It's too late to defrost the skewers now, take them out tonight and eat them tomorrow."

Ning Xiaowen was right after thinking about it, so he asked Ning Qiyan, "What about you?"

"I want to eat instant noodles. Although they are not nutritious, they taste good. I haven't had enough for lunch."

Ning Xiaowen was a little speechless, but one of them wore it all day, and the other cut it all day, and their wrists were a little sore. Eating instant noodles really saves effort, and...the taste is also good.

On the fourth day after Du Cheng and Huzi left, Ning Qiyan finally put all the mushrooms on strings and hung them in the cave. Originally, the cave couldn't hold so many, but it couldn't hold up the tunnel dug later to get through the platform. It's long enough to hang it all up, but it's a bit dense.

During the day, Ning Qiyan opened the gate of the cave and the iron gate of the platform to ventilate the front and back, so the air dries quickly.

Then tie a rope ladder made of climbing ropes by Ning Qiyan to the iron gate, and the two of them went down the rope ladder to the platform without cleaning, and directly threw the dead tree out of the space to dry.As for the walnuts, the concrete floor in the yard of the space is enough to dry out one after another.

The platform has a large area, and all the dead branches that need to be dried again in the space are placed without occupying the platform.

Moreover, the wind on the platform is not strong. If you place the larger dead trees on the outside, you don't have to worry about the small firewood being blown down the mountain by the wind.

After putting away the firewood, the two of them climbed back to the cave before entering the space. After resting for a while, they began to peel walnuts.

On the ninth day after Du Cheng and Hu Zi left, all the walnuts had been peeled, and the cured meat that was going to be made into bacon had also been marinated and dried.

Putting away the walnuts, Ning Qiyan and the two rested for half the morning, and after eating hot pot, they took out the wood that Beard had prepared in advance, set up a simple shelf and started to smoke the meat.

Considering that the bacon smokes a lot and the space seems to have its own cleaning system, the bacon is naturally carried out in the space.

The bacon is not tiring, as long as it is turned over on time, it will be put away when it is smoked.Ning Qiyan and Ning Qiyan felt a little uncomfortable after so many days of chattering and suddenly being free.

One cannot be idle, the more idle the easier it is to think blindly.

After so many days, Du Cheng and Hu Zi have not come back yet, and the hearts of the two of them have been hanging in the air.

It’s November 11th, the highest temperature outside during the day has dropped to around zero, and it’s uncertain when it will snow. When I went to the water station to pick up water to hide people’s eyes and ears, I heard from the soldiers who stayed behind that the repairs in the city were almost the same. Yes, it is estimated that at the end of November, the government will organize most of the citizens to return to the mountains.

Turning over all the smoked meat on the shelf, Ning Qiyan added a sweater and wool trousers, then wrapped it in a down jacket, and left the space, planning to go to the cave to have a look again.

As soon as he arrived at the cave, Ning Qiyan was provoked by the sudden cold air and sneezed.

"Enlightenment?" A low voice suddenly came from the passage between the cave and the platform.

"Du Cheng? Are you back?!" Ning Qiyan's eyes lit up, and he ran over following the sound.

After running a few steps, he saw Du Cheng walking towards him holding a flashlight.

With the light of the flashlight, Ning Qiyan looked at Du Cheng carefully. Except for some stains on his underwear, his face and hands were a little red from the cold, but he looked fine.

"Where's the beard?" Seeing Du Cheng himself, Ning Qiyan asked.

"Here! Things are here too." Hearing Ning Qiyan's inquiry, the bearded man at the entrance of the cave replied.

Ning Qiyan turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave, put the two piles of things piled up by the wall into the space, and dragged the two of them back to the space together.

"It's still comfortable at our house!" As soon as he entered the space, the warm temperature made Huzi feel emotional.

"Don't talk about that, change your clothes and take a shower, the meat is being smoked! Don't drop dirty things on the meat." Ning Xiaowen said.

As soon as he saw the two piles of things that suddenly appeared in the yard, he knew that Du Cheng and Hu Zi had returned, and before they were picked up by Ning Qiyan, he went to get a change of clothes suitable for wearing in the space.

After taking off their dirty outerwear and trousers, Du Cheng and Hu Zi took the clothes from Ning Xiaowen and got into the bathroom.

"You cook, I'll do the laundry." Pushing Ning Qiyan to the lobby to let him cook, Ning Xiaowen picked up the dirty clothes on the ground, fetched a bucket of water from the well, and started washing.

Fortunately for the trousers, both of them are wearing jeans, which can be washed directly with a brush. On the down jacket, the stains on the surface are not only dust, but also traces similar to engine oil. The oil stains must be disposed of before they can be cleaned as a whole.

After entering the lobby, Ning Qiyan thought for a while, then took out the defrosted beef and mutton from the refrigerator, cut them into thin slices, then took out two lumps of sea prawns and a pack of meatballs, and put them in the microwave to speed up the defrosting. The existing vegetables were picked in two pots, washed and cut into suitable sizes for later use.

Du Cheng and the others are away from home, and the temperature is so low, even if there is an oven, they certainly can't eat as well as they do at home. It's better to eat hot pot directly to relieve the cold.

When Du Cheng and Huzi came out after taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Ning Qiyan had already prepared everything and just put it in the pot.

"Put the clothes there first, wash them after eating." Seeing that Ning Xiaowen hadn't come in yet, Ning Qiyan shouted.

"I know, you can eat now, and I'll come right after I soak my clothes."

As soon as it was on the table, Du Cheng and Hu Zi directly reached out to pick up the sliced ​​meat that had been cooked in advance, and started to gobble it up with the sauce on it.

Ning Qiyan sat on the side and was not in a hurry to order the dishes, he put the meat into the pot first, Du Cheng and Huzi kept fishing, and he just kept ordering here.These two pure carnivores will never look at seafood and vegetables unless they are half full of meat.

Thinking about the amount of food they had before, Ning Qiyan directly cut up two pots full of meat, weighing more than five catties. After a while, Du Cheng and Hu Zi ate up the whole pot, and the two slowed down.

Seeing this, Ning Xiaowen began to put shrimp and vegetables into the pot.

"Why did you come back so late? Is it hard to find things?" Ning Qiyan couldn't help asking.

Du Cheng shook his head, "The plastic film is easy to find. We passed by a vegetable greenhouse base and took it off from those abandoned greenhouses. It can be used after repairing it. But the lighting lamps are hard to find. Generally, there are no greenhouses. Yes, the quantity is not enough. If we want to grow food on the platform, we need at least hundreds of lights, and they must be headlights with strong light. The building materials market has long been taken over by the government, so we looked outside I couldn’t find it for several days. When I went down the mountain, I asked about the exchange point, and there was no exchange for this kind of light. Finally, I met Wang Yang and the others when I was in the urban area. They helped to contact the army. 80 pieces came out, but the price is not low, we can’t exchange a few credit points at all, we can only exchange them with grain, 80 catties of grain per lamp, [-] lamps total [-] catties of grain.”

Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen's eyes widened instantly.

"Four thousand catties?!"

Is there four thousand catties of food in the family? !

Du Cheng waved his hand, "You don't need to hand it over right away. When they deliver it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, first give them a thousand catties of food of any kind. We can also exchange the rest of the food that our family has leftover. It will be worth as much as it can be at that time." Discuss. If it is not enough, you can make up for it later when the harvest is harvested."

"Is that okay? Can they rest assured?" Ning Xiaowen asked in surprise.

Du Cheng smiled: "Of course, there are four people in our family. If we really can't make up for food, we can deduct it from the credit points slowly."

"Can you still pay on credit? Then everyone don't have enough credit points to get credit first, and then you can make it up slowly?" Ning Qiyan was also quite surprised.

"It also depends on who is crediting. Ordinary people definitely can't, but when we placed an order with the army, they directly checked all our transaction records after the earthquake. When we rented a house to buy solar energy, we had a lot of fun. In view of this, They let us pay on credit."

Well, it turned out to be the light from before.
