After the Earthquake of Rebirth

The four of them were sweating profusely after eating a hot pot meal. After clearing the table, Ning Xiaowen went to turn over the smoked meat again.

"How long has it been smoked? Is it almost ready?" Looking at the meat hanging on the rack, Beard sat in the yard leaning against the wall and asked.

"How can it be? It's only been smoked for one afternoon. It must be smoked until noon tomorrow. This shelf is considered good."

Huzi looked at the meat on the shelf, and then thought about how they marinated more than four jars...

Ning Qiyan came out with a small basin of washed hawthorns, "I ate so much meat just now, eat some hawthorns to digest."

Beard took the hawthorn, a little tangled, and she is not pregnant, who can eat hawthorn just like that? !

"Aren't there still oranges? Let's eat oranges."

"Eating hot pot will get you angry, and eating oranges will make you even more angry. It's better to eat your hawthorn honestly!" Ning Xiaowen said after turning over the meat and came to sit down.

Beard had no choice but to throw one into his mouth, took a bite, and instantly his facial features twitched together.

So sour!

After eating this in his mouth, he said that he would not eat hawthorn again, and his teeth were sore all over his mouth.

"How about Wang Yang and the others? Is there any new policy in the city?" Unlike the beard who is afraid of acid, Ning Qiyan picked up a hawthorn and ate it slowly.

"Wang Yang and the others are all fine, and Yang Yu's injury is also recovering well, and he can usually do activities in his residence. And before we came back, the heating in the university town was repaired. If there is no problem with the heating in the next few days, they will I can come back. And the policy of staying in a university town for heating has also come down. I heard from Wang Yang that people under the age of 12, over 60 years old, pregnant women, the wounded, etc. can live in the university town for free, and three meals a day are provided. If it is 12 years old Orphans between the ages of 18 and confirmed that there are no living relatives can also live in the university city for free, but the credit points they receive every day will be reduced to a little bit every two days, and the reduced part will be regarded as the expenditure of three big pot meals a day. 18 Healthy adults like us over the age of 60 can also live here, but each person has to pay 300 catties of food, the government does not issue credits during the stay, and only provides one meal a day." Du Cheng said.

"The whole university town has been repaired?" Ning Qiyan was a little surprised. He thought that in his previous life, he could only live in vulnerable groups, but he didn't expect that even adults could live there. Although he needed to pay food and was responsible for his own food, But among the surviving citizens of City D, there are always people who are not short of food.

"It's all repaired, and the entire university town can be lived in. In the past two days, it should be possible to count the people who can live in the university town in the mountains. It is estimated that when the people from the city come back, they will directly pick up the people from here and move there. Wang Yang Their Yang Yu should be able to live in for free because of his injury, and they also said to find a way to keep the two girls, Wang Yuanyuan and Liu Jia, in the university city. By the way, if those who did not live in the university city can receive 300 yuan at a time The winter credits, plus the credits issued in normal times, can be exchanged for a catty of coal, which can be used for heating in normal times.”

From this point of view, even if we stayed in the mountains, with coal and dead branches picked up from the mountains, we could barely survive the winter.

Thinking this time, it won't be like the winter before rebirth, tens of 10 people died silently...

On November 11th, the 30 lamps that Du Cheng and the others ordered were finally delivered.

The four of them had taken advantage of the gap between the bacon the day before to sort out some food supplies that could be exchanged.Originally, if we squeezed together, apart from eating and sowing, we could get out two thousand catties of rice noodles, plus other miscellaneous grains, and it would not be difficult to make up two thousand five hundred catties.But considering that the food supply in the hands of the government will be insufficient in the future, and if the harvest of the home-grown crops is not good, they will not be able to hand over so much.In the end, a total of [-] catties of food was prepared, plus instant noodles, biscuits, etc. that could not be eaten at home, and it looked like a lot.

The first thing to weigh was the food. After confirming the weight, Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen began to check with the officer who came up to deliver the food to calculate the amount of the remaining food that could be worth less.

"Twenty boxes of 24 bags of instant noodles, according to the price of the exchange point, can be exchanged for two bags for one credit point. Twenty boxes are 240 catties of grain. Fifteen boxes of single-pack biscuits are 380 catties of grain. These bulk snacks are sold at the rate of one credit Counting five bags, the total is... 70 credits. There is also cereal? Milk powder for middle-aged and elderly people? Did you find a small supermarket at the beginning?!" The officer sighed while registering.

Ning Qiyan did not deny that the food they brought out was indeed collected when they dug into the small supermarket, and the food they could eat at home had already been reserved, and the rest would probably not be eaten after the expiration date, so they might as well trade them out.

After calculating everything, a total of [-] catties of grain can be reduced. Adding the previous [-] catties, it is still [-] catties short of the total of [-] catties.

Many of the homemade canned food, air-dried meat, salted duck eggs, etc. are too much to eat, but there is no way to explain the source, especially meat. Now everyone is short of meat. If they can still take out the extra low value, It's too eye-catching.

If it doesn't work, I will owe nine hundred catties first. Anyway, when I placed the order, I agreed to credit part of it.

However, the officer looked at the things that were being carried down the mountain in sacks by the soldiers, and made a point: "When you collected these things, did you confiscate any alcohol and tobacco?"

Ning Qiyan was taken aback, "I'll take it." As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately realized, "Can alcohol and tobacco be cheap?"

The officer laughed, "Why can't the price of tobacco and alcohol be low? Alcohol is more valuable now, and it can be used for heating and disinfection. Cigarettes are not bad, especially for some old smokers. In the future, there will be enough food, and wine can be re-brewed, but tobacco is enough, and it is not a necessity. It is estimated that it will not be considered in a few years. If the social reconstruction is slower, it will not be able to be manufactured in more than ten years."

Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng looked at each other, and then said to the officer: "Then wait a little longer, let's get the cigarettes and alcohol." After speaking, he pulled Ning Xiaowen towards the platform, and Du Cheng and Huzi walked towards the platform. Stay in the cave to block the sight of these people.

Opening the iron gate, the two of them went down the rope ladder to the platform before entering the space. The cigarettes and alcohol were all middle-to-low grade. As the officer said, cigarettes will not be produced in a short time in the future, and the production conditions of good wine are harsh. , these two things will only become more and more valuable, but the four big men in the family will only smoke one when they are occasionally tired or stressed, except for Hu Zi and Du Cheng. Together, they can't smoke a few boxes a year. I seldom drink it.Keep some high-end ones, enough for "appreciation", and the rest can be used not only for this time, but also for low-value food in the future.

After returning to the cave, Ning Qiyan put the hiking bags carried by himself and Ning Xiaowen directly in front of the officer.

"Are these enough?"

Wine has a wider range of uses, so Ning Qiyan carried a box on his back, and kept the rest for later use, most of which were cigarettes.

The officer squatted down and flipped through it casually, and said with a smile, "It's definitely enough, I don't need so much."

"Then you can choose whatever you want."

In the end, they shared a case of liquor and 36 sticks of cigarettes and wiped out the remaining [-] catties at a low value.

After all the bills were settled, the officer and the last wave of soldiers carried the goods that Ning Qiyan had exchanged with them down the mountain.

After they left, Ning Qiyan and the others began to move the lamps and wires placed in the yard into the cave.

The soldiers came early, until the two sides finished the transaction, the genius just came to light, probably because Ning Qiyan was worried about their people's bad fortune, and drove the large army back to the mountain, and even the people left behind on the mountain traded before they got up. Good all supplies.

Eighty headlights may not look big, but they are not very convenient to carry, and they can be carried at most one in each hand at a time.The four of them tossed back and forth countless times before moving all their things into the cave.

It is relatively convenient to enter the cave. The space is currently limited, and the lamps can only be installed at a time when they are spread out flat. Six or seven times before and after, Ning Qiyan transferred these lamps to the platform.

"It's not a problem to just leave it like this!" Seeing these things on the ground, Huzi frowned.

There was a lot of activity just now, Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen were both hot and didn't feel cold for a while. The four of them looked at the lamps and then at the platform.

Originally, they didn't plan to start farming on the platform this winter. They even looked for plastic film and lamps before thinking that if the temperature of the space was too low, at least set up a greenhouse in the yard of the space to ensure this. In winter, their family will not be cut off from vegetables.But now it seems that there is not enough space, and there is no way to put them all in the space, and God knows if these wires are frozen for a long time in the extremely low temperature in winter, will they cause any damage? What if the lamps worth four thousand catties of grain If they were damaged by freezing in the past winter, they would lose a lot.

"Let's not talk about what will happen this winter. Even before the earthquake, we are not suitable for breaking ground and planting in winter. If it is not possible, we should clean up the space storage room. Coal, firewood and other things that are not afraid of freezing Stack them outside first, and put these lamps in the storage room, if not, you can put them on some shelves now." Seeing that Du Cheng and Ning Qiyan were silent, Huzi thought for a while, and then said.

Ning Qiyan looked at Du Cheng.

Du Cheng also nodded, "Let's see what's going on this winter first. If the temperature is too low, I'm afraid I can't run the wires outside even in the spring. I still have to build a shelf to install the wires and lights directly on the shelf. It will be winter by then." , Just build a shed on the shelf, just to protect the line from being damaged by freezing."

Others thought about it, and they really should arrange it this way, otherwise they would not be able to hang the lights on the rocks above when the weather was warm, and then dismantle and reinstall them in winter, which would not be enough tossing back and forth.

"I have to turn upside down again." Ning Xiaowen sighed.

In order to pick up the food for exchange the day before, all the reserves in the space were searched, and they had to be sorted again before they were cleaned up.

"The space is still too small." Ning Qiyan shrugged.

Huzi sneered: "You guys can do it! Don't get cheap and act like a good boy!"

Ning Xiaowen gave him a sideways look, but after a while, he couldn't help but also laughed.
