After the Earthquake of Rebirth

The space is no longer as empty as before, and most of the furniture in the house was moved directly from home.There are dining tables and chairs in the lobby, and Du Cheng placed a shelf against the wall on the left, where commonly used kitchen utensils are placed.The stove on the right side connected to the heated kang is reserved, because it will not be used for the time being, so it is covered with a stone slab of just the right size. There are three induction cookers on it, which are already connected to the generator. Usually, the induction cooker is used for cooking in the space.

For nearly three months, Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng could feel that the temperature of the space had also changed.Just like when Ning Qiyan first got the space, it was the end of January, the coldest time in winter, when it was -8°C outside, but it was around 10°C inside the space.Now, the highest outside temperature is almost 20°C, and the space is also around 20°C.So the two guessed that the temperature in the space might have something to do with the outside world, but it was more suitable for animals and plants to survive.

On the right side of the lobby, there is a room with a heated kang, which is used as a bedroom for two people. At the end of the kang, there is a kang cabinet that Ning Qiyan bought online, and the bedding is folded and put in during the day.Close to the north wall are two wardrobes and a bookshelf.

Further to the right is a storage room of about 13 square meters, in which are stored living materials.

In the room on the left side of the lobby, there are two huge freezers and the original double-door refrigerator at home on the north wall. Under the south wall are stored food, mainly rice and wheat, and there are many other miscellaneous beans. On the top is Finished rice and flour.

The storage room on the far left is full of coal and charcoal.

The position in the yard next to the house was raised by Du Cheng by about a palm's height with a turning head and cement, and a canopy was erected on it.Inside is the newly built bathroom.The water pump and piping were designed by Ning Qiyan himself, and the water heater was dismantled and installed in the bathroom at home.

Poultry have been raised in several fences on the right side of the yard.Three pigs, one male and two females.Four sheep, one male and three females.There are ten chickens and ducks, half male and half female.

Half of the ground on the left side of the yard is planted with various vegetables, and the other half is planted with watermelons.Thinking of the high temperature in summer, Ning Qiyan made Du Cheng plant watermelons all over the ground.At that time, put it in the refrigerator for a while, just thinking about it will make the whole body cool.

The fruit trees planted around the outermost part of the yard are all common varieties in the north, such as apples, pears, peaches, apricots, dates, cherries, oranges, and persimmons.

These less than 20 trees are all mature trees that can bear fruit this year, and they were directly transplanted by the two people in the countryside.Now the cherry trees are bearing fruit, and the cherries at the highest point are already showing signs of redness, and it is estimated that it will not be far from the ripening time.

Everything that can be prepared has been prepared, and it is already May, and there are less than ten days before the time of the big earthquake in memory.Ning Qiyan checked the list again and again, wondering if there was anything he hadn't prepared.

On the contrary, Du Cheng, who had not experienced rebirth, was much calmer than Ning Qiyan.Compared with other unprepared people, the two of them are already too lucky.

"Forget it, I don't want to." Ning Qiyan threw away the list, just in time to pick up the strawberries that Du Cheng had just washed. "There will be no more strawberries in a few days."

"Next year we will grow it ourselves." Du Cheng replied.

The strawberries on the plate were the biggest and sweetest ones, and after one bite, the slightly chilled coolness made Ning Qiyan, who had been a little restless, let out a breath of relief.

"Let's go buy some meat in a while. Anyway, it's going to be put in the freezer, so it's not too late." While eating, Ning Qiyan said to Du Cheng.

Du Cheng nodded, and put the sweeter looking strawberries he picked out from his plate into Ning Qiyan's half-empty plate.

Ning Qiyan accepted it with a smile.

After eating strawberries, the two simply cleaned up and left the space.

Now that the space has been taken care of, most of the furniture in the house has been moved into the space. Compared to an empty home, the two of them are used to living in the space.

Driving the car, the two went straight to a large imported supermarket.This kind of supermarket has sufficient cold storage reserves, enough for two people to buy enough things at once, without having to go back and forth to the stall.

After parking the car, he took the elevator up to the floor where frozen food was sold. Ning Qiyan went directly to the manager and reported to him the purchase order.

20 pieces of pork ribs, 200 catties of pork belly, 50 big bone sticks, trotters, large intestines, lamb, lamb chops...

The most is beef, because the size of cattle is too large, there is not so much space in the space, it is better to raise a few more pigs.Therefore, prepare more ready-made beef and store it in the cold storage, and it will last for a long time if you eat it slowly.

In fact, the most difficult thing is that in the two years after the earthquake, the food could not keep up, the climate became extreme again, and people panicked.By the third year, the surviving people have adapted to the new climate, and the government has regained control. Although rice and white noodles are still not easy to eat, potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn are enough to fill their stomachs.Just before Ning Qiyan was reborn and came back, some people had started to raise livestock again, but most of them raised rabbits, which were highly fertile animals, and there were also a lot of chickens, after all, they could lay eggs.

After talking about the meat, Ning Qiyan pulled the manager and went straight to the seafood counter.

There are also a lot of orders for various fish and shrimp.Because of the large quantity, the price is much cheaper, and door-to-door delivery is provided.But Ning Qiyan didn't ask them to deliver it home, but wrote the address in the small warehouse he rented before.Because he ordered too many things online some time ago, Ning Qiyan rented a small warehouse on the edge of the university town to avoid being caught hoarding a large amount of goods.

After paying the money, the manager of the supermarket said that the inventory can be completed within half an hour and the goods will be shipped directly.Ning Qiyan took Du Cheng and drove directly to the small warehouse to receive the goods.

While waiting for the goods, Ning Qiyan took out his mobile phone, looked at it for a while, and silently handed it to Du Cheng.

Du Cheng looked down, a little funny.No wonder Ning Qiyan was depressed. It turned out that a text message from the bank showed that the balance was only more than 15 yuan.

"Isn't everything that should be bought gone? No matter how much money is left, it's useless." Du Cheng comforted.

Ning Qiyan sighed, "I know, but it's still hard to see the money being spent."

Du Cheng shook his head, this kind of mentality can only be resolved by himself.

"But it's useless to have so much money left over. I plan to keep 10 yuan. If the money can be recovered in the future, it will be enough for us to spend. Find a way to spend the remaining [-] yuan." Ning Qiyan turned his head and said explain.

Du Cheng thought for a while, "Let's raise river crabs."

Ning Qiyan was taken aback, "Are you joking?"

Du Cheng glanced at Ning Qiyan.

Ning Qiyan blinked, "You know how to raise?"

Du Cheng nodded, the family who took care of his beard in the prison at the beginning raised river crabs.Later, Huzi often heard about him. After nine years of listening, Du Cheng had long remembered the farming skills of river crabs.Before he was released from prison, he thought that he would start raising river crabs when he made money. This thing would make a lot of money if he raised it well. The most important thing is that Ning Qiyan loves to eat it.

I still remember when I was young, Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng got a steamed female crab under the guidance of the old director. Since then, Ning Qiyan has never forgotten it for many years.But the price of river crab is too expensive, far from being affordable for orphans with no income.

"Do you still like to eat?" Du Cheng hesitated and asked.

Originally thinking that all the places in the space are full, Ning Qiyan, who had no land to raise, paused and swallowed all the questions, leaving only one sentence——

"I love to eat."

After receiving the goods, Ning Qiyan threw the things into the space. Anyway, there are enough ice packs, so there is no need to worry about spoilage for a while.Then he took Du Cheng directly to the bank to withdraw all the money in the card.

Keep 5 yuan, and pass the rest to Du Cheng.

That night, after Ning Qiyan put all the meat and seafood into the freezer and refrigerator, he saw Du Cheng sitting in the yard alone, holding a notebook in his hand, and using it to set up a lamp in the yard , Write and draw.

For the next week, Ning Qiyan worked as a job-changing driver, and without asking any questions, just followed Du Cheng's request and drove him around.

With a thick steel plate as the bottom, a rectangular cement pool with an area of ​​about 90 square meters was built on it, and the depth of the pool was about one meter.

Then he bought some steel and steel bars of different specifications, and when Du Cheng climbed up to the roof with a ladder, Ning Qiyan realized that co-authoring Du Cheng wanted to put the cement pool on the house.

Ning Qiyan was a little speechless, it's a good thing the house has a flat roof.

But seeing that the steel frame that Du Cheng erected was very strong, several thick steel frames were directly attached to the outer wall and supported on the ground, and then bricks and cement were used to build around the steel frames.

For two days, Du Cheng didn't use Ning Qiyan to do anything, and made the preparations for the space alone. On the third day, he asked Ning Qiyan to drive him to P City, which is [-] kilometers away.

City P is rich in river crabs, and it is Huzi's hometown.Because Ning Qiyan had already contacted the seller on the Internet before, when he arrived at the place, he went directly to see the crabs.

What Du Cheng wants to buy is not crab seedlings, and no one sells crab seedlings this season.Du Cheng wants to buy half-sized river crabs that others have raised.

When we first contacted him online, the seller didn't believe Ning Qiyan at all, because no one had ever done this before. If you want to raise river crabs, who wouldn't use crab seedlings? !

Ning Qiyan talked all kinds of things before he reached an agreement with him.But the price is not much cheaper than the mature river crab.

A total of 150, male and female in half.Then I bought a lot of soil from other people's ponds, and finally paid enough money to let the other party be responsible for transporting the soil and crabs to City D.

When the pond is finally built and delivered, the soil is put in, sand and gravel are spread, water is put in, and crabs are put in.Ning Qiyan put the fully assembled pool into the space and placed it on the steel frame built by Du Cheng. It was already May 5th.

Ning Qiyan sat in the yard regardless of his image, looked at Du Cheng who was still busy on the roof, and took a deep breath.

After a week of rushing and rushing, I finally finished my work.Because of time constraints, it was more tiring than buying supplies in the previous two months.

But no matter what, it's rare that Du Cheng has an idea, no matter how tired Ning Qiyan is.After all, Du Cheng usually works hard and listens to his orders.
