On this day, Xiao Dingnan still did not go out.

There was still an eerie calm outside, which made his hair stand on end... always felt like there was something terrible in the thick fog.

You know, as an old community in a downtown area, at this time in the past, the community was already very lively with people coming and going. Some people are riding bicycles to sell buns in the streets, and some are carrying fruits and vegetables. There are vendors selling eggs and local specialties from the countryside to the city. In short, in this old community with mixed religions and cultures, except for the dead of night, it is noisy almost all the time...

However, for some reason, Xiao Dingnan likes this noisy environment full of human fireworks. Therefore, for more than three years, he has been living here happily, and even paid the rent and water and electricity bills on time. In the eyes of the owners of this community, they are practical and hard-working young people in the new century.Even when the aunt downstairs taught her son who refused to work after graduating from college, she would point to Xiao Dingnan's rental house on the top floor as a positive teaching material: Look at Xiao Nan!He is not as old as you, and he didn't even go to high school, and now he is said to be earning thousands of dollars every month!And you?My old lady eats bran and swallowed vegetables for you to go to college. After graduation, you can't even pass the exam as a clerk with 2000 yuan. Tell me, what else can you do?blah blah blah...

At this time, Xiao Dingnan could feel the hateful eyes of the hard-pressed youth downstairs... So, he resolutely installed another layer of anti-theft windows in his rental house!The main reason is that he is afraid that people will become angry and retaliate against him...

However, on this day, the sound of the old woman admonishing the sons downstairs was gone, the yelling of local eggs was gone, and the bicycle bells selling steamed buns were gone... It was silent, as if only he and Banban were left in this world... …

Fortunately, both he and Ban Ban are used to the life of a dead house, and in order to set up a stall, he just bought dozens of catties of ingredients and stored them in the freezer. He killed the last fish and stewed it for Ban Ban to eat. Xiao Dingnan himself took out two Sausage and two eggs, ready to cook a simple claypot rice with a rice cooker.

There are not many fresh vegetables at home, but he made some bean sprouts in that big Coke bottle on the balcony, and took out a bottle, which was just enough for him to eat for a whole day!

Bean sprouts are inseparable from making skewers and spicy shabu-shabu. At the beginning, Xiao Dingnan bought bean sprouts directly from the vegetable market. Later, he found that this kind of bean sprouts were not delicious enough, and they were often not available. It is easy to rot and deteriorate after half a day, so the vegetable vendor who sold him the bean sprouts "instructed" him that if he bought more, he could add some special antiseptic potion, so that the soaked bean sprouts would look white and tender... However, Xiao Dingnan Just tasted it once and decided never to buy these sprouts again...

Later, he saw someone's tutorial on growing bean sprouts with a large Coke bottle on the Internet, and tried it himself, and it turned out to be surprisingly convenient!Those who set up stalls selling snacks, especially the heavy-tasting snacks such as spicy shabu-shabu and skewers, basically sell drinks such as Coke, Sprite, and beer. A small profit, besides, after these people finished drinking, he can also recycle and sell the discarded bottles. The money is not much, but the savings are enough for his water bill for a month... From a large pile in the storage room Pick out a few clean large Coke bottles from the waste, use hot nails to drill a few water guide holes at the bottom of the bottle, scoop up a few handfuls of mung beans and soak them in cold water for a day until the skin is cracked, and put the beans into the chopped Coke In the bottle, one-fifth of it is enough, because the bean sprouts will grow quickly when they germinate, and if you put too many beans, the bottle will burst.Then, water it two or three times a day, cover it with a black cloth immediately after watering, and put it in a dark and damp corner of the kitchen. After about 3 days, the white and tender bean sprouts can be picked!

Since then, the bean sprouts he sells at his stall are basically fresh bean sprouts made by himself, which are convenient and healthy when they are placed in a large Coke bottle. Some diners saw the fresh bean sprouts he made, and even Want to spend money to buy food for home cooking...

Ban Ban is a carnivore and hates eating vegetables the most. Bean sprouts don't appeal to him at all.However, after Xiao Dingnan took out the bean sprouts from the coke bottle, it played with great enthusiasm by rolling the bottle with its paws!

Throwing the Coke bottle to Ban Ban to let him play by himself, Xiao Dingnan ran to the storage room and took out a bag of fifty catties of rice and opened it.At this time, he was very grateful for his dead house attributes. As long as he had money, his family would definitely have enough food and various ingredients for half a year. People communicate, can only stay at home and eat.

While washing rice, suddenly, there was a very hesitant knock on the door.

Xiao Dingnan put down the rice cooker and walked over. Through the cat's eyes, he saw a trembling old man standing outside the door. He knew this person. He was the building manager of their building. There was no property in the community, so the monthly garbage fee was generally The water bills are all calculated by the building manager. Xiao Dingnan only knows that his surname is Deng, and he is a retired teacher.

"Teacher Deng, why did you come out? The smog outside is so heavy, be careful of asthma!" Xiao Dingnan hurriedly opened the door and invited the building manager into the room.

"Ahem~~Xiao Xiao, that's it. I know you are in the food stall business, so you must have some ingredients at home. I still have rice at home, but the eggs for my grandson are gone...you can see it too, now The smog outside is so severe that we really can't get out, look, can you sell me some eggs and children's food? Don't worry! The price will definitely not let you suffer!" Teacher Deng said no Looking at Xiao Dingnan shyly, he also knew it was unethical to do so, but his grandson has been used to an egg a day since he was a child, but the old woman only bought a few eggs at home in order to let his grandson eat fresh, and the result was fine !The smog is coming, I can't get out, and the eggs are gone... In fact, before going upstairs, he has already gone to the neighbor's house, but they said on the spot that there are no eggs in his house, so he can't go in and search, right?

So, he thought of Xiao Dingnan who had been living alone on the top floor.

Although this child didn't have much contact with him, he could feel that Xiao Dingnan was not a bad person.

really--

After listening to Mr. Deng's words, Xiao Dingnan turned around and ran to the kitchen, and took out 24 eggs in two large compartments, but they were all the cheap farmed eggs sold in supermarkets.

But Mr. Deng is already very excited. Why do you pay attention to native eggs and farmed eggs at this time?It's good to eat something!

"Here! Here is 100 yuan, no need to look for it! Thank you, Xiao Xiao!" Teacher Deng carefully held two eggs.

"wait!"

Xiao Dingnan ran to the kitchen again, and when he came out again, he was carrying a plastic bag containing more than a dozen bottles of children's milk in bulk: "These are leftovers from selling when I set up a stall. If you don't mind, take them away." Give the child a drink!"

"Hehe~~ I don't dislike it! I don't dislike it! Thank you so much!" Mr. Deng looked gratefully at the man in his early twenties. He was still a big boy. If he didn't drop out of school, he should still be studying in university now, right?What a pity...

What he doesn't know is that in the next few days, these things he bought for 100 yuan have already risen to 1000 yuan each in this old community where eggs cost a few cents before the end of the world!And they won't sell it to you at all!

It's all this time, is there still a use for money? !

Sending off Mr. Deng, Xiao Dingnan shook his head helplessly. In fact, if it wasn't because Mr. Deng was a good person and had more prestige in the community, if it were someone else, he really wouldn't want to sell things to others.The current situation, who knows what will happen in the future?

He is not like those local rich people who always have other ways to go to better places. He has no money or power, and the only thing he can rely on, apart from the tens of thousands of deposits in his hand, is probably this month's rent A small attic for 500 yuan...

I hope the owner of the house will not take this opportunity to raise the rent or drive him away...

Of course the owner of the house would not come to trouble him.

In fact, that night, the family of the landlord who lived in the multi-storey bungalow in this community was devoured by crazy beasts, and even the blood was licked clean. Messy and intertwined human bones...

However, soon he had no time to think about the landlord's affairs. I don't know if it was because of Mr. Deng. On this day, several families in the community knocked on the door one after another, wanting to buy some ingredients or food from him to go back. Everyone We all know that he is in the snack business, so there must be food at home.

Because of this, after being politely rejected by Xiao Dingnan, everyone's faces were not very good-looking. There was even a fat woman with a gold necklace pointing at his nose and yelling: Believe it or not, I asked Xiao Lin (the landlady) to kick you out immediately?Shame on the face!Isn't it just a stall?

For this kind of person, Xiao Dingnan has only one way to deal with it: close the door!Lock it!

Hehe~~ Even if you want to evict him, it has to be said by the landlord himself, and it was agreed when signing the contract that if one party breaks the contract, he will have to pay an additional half a year's rent as compensation. The stingy old guy is willing to give his neighbor an extra 3000 yuan for nothing in order to vent his anger!

Even the landlord's own mother didn't get this treatment!

It's just a neighbor... I really think I'm an onion!

After being harassed by these strange neighbors all afternoon, Xiao Dingnan was not in a good mood at night, and he didn't bother to cook something delicious, so he just made a mandarin duck pot bottom. The family is in the Chuan Chuan Xiang business, and the soup base is ready-made, spicy soup base He ate it by himself, some green vegetables and frozen sea fish were added to the bone soup, and when it was cooked, he added some rice and mixed it well, and pushed it in front of Banban.

Seeing the vegetables in the rice bowl, Ban Ban meowed twice in disgust, but he knew that if he didn't eat the vegetables, Dad would punish him to eat carrots for the next meal... Vegetables are ten thousand times more terrifying!
