"Brother, send the ones in the car home first, and then drive the truck over here. The eggplants take up too much space. No matter how inconvenient the truck is, it will be faster than the trolley." Ruan Hang and Chen Boqing went door-to-door. After searching six or seven houses, the cart was quickly filled just by picking the grown beans and eggplants. Ruan Hang had no choice but to ask Chen Boqing to send the things back first, and pick them himself with a woven bag.

In fact, before they collected things, they also thought about using a truck or an off-road vehicle. However, the roads in the village are bumpy and bumpy, and there are places where trucks cannot get in at all, so the two had no choice but to give up using the truck.

But now they have only been collecting for a while, and the cart is already full. If you really use the cart all the time, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. be quick.

Chen Boqing hung the rope on his shoulder, and dragged the cart away step by step. Ruan Hang watched Chen Boqing go away, then bowed his head and started picking beans again.

On the vines of the beans, there are already many old beans. The skins of these beans have gradually lost moisture, and the beans have grown plump. Those half-old beans were picked, but let him pick them only tenderly. As for those half-old ones, Ruan Hang wanted to wait until they were completely old as a kind of preservation.

It would be best for him to be able to give birth to new beans if his powers are powerful in the future. Even if he can't use it after ten thousand steps, the dried beans can be soaked and porridge can be eaten.

There was the sound of a truck in the distance. Ruan Hang had already harvested the beans and eggplants. As for the ungrown ones on the vines, it should be almost done again in a few days.

Ruan Hang dragged a small sack in one hand, and slowly walked out of the courtyard. Chen Boqing was holding the cart at the intersection with his soil ability, probably trying to move it off the truck, but when Ruan Hang came out of the door, Chen Boqing immediately let go of the cart With the supernatural hand, the cart fell directly from mid-air, making a loud noise, and even jumped Ruan Hang.

"Why didn't the cart fall apart?" Ruan Hang recovered from the shock, murmured casually at Chen Boqing, and dragged two woven bags to the side of the cart, but Chen Boqing ran away before he could move two steps Come over, snatch the woven bag from his hand, grab it with both hands, and run to the side of the car very vigorously and throw it on it.

"Why did you go back again?" Chen Boqing threw his things into the car, turned his head to see that Ruan Hang was about to enter the gate again, and quickly called out to Ruan Hang.

"There is still a small bag in the house." Suddenly called by Chen Boqing, Ruan Hang was also very innocent, pointing to the vegetable field inside the gate, and explained.

"You stay there, I'll get it." Chen Boqing had long legs, ran to the courtyard in three steps and five steps, picked up a bag of eggplants, and helped Ruan Hang complete the task.

"I'm fine. The symptoms of inducing supernatural powers are gone. My whole body is very strong. Brother, you don't have to worry." Although Ruan Hang said so, he was still very touched by Chen Boqing's concern. In such a world, to meet such a People, it is too rare.

It was less than eight o'clock in the morning, after they killed the last zombie in the village, they began to collect things. It was not until nearly twelve o'clock at noon that Ruan Hang and the others returned home with the results of the morning.

Almost all the beans and eggplants were on the truck, and the rest were some onions and rice. Those things were collected in the last few shops. Seeing that the beans and eggplants were almost gone, all the useful things were brought back.

"Well, there is a family in our area, and we have saved a lot of food. Let's agree to split this thing in half. When you have time to look at it together in the afternoon, you can bring some back." Ruan Hang and Chen Boqing came back with a bunch of things. Before he could enter the door, he was stopped by a few young people next door, who were talking about dividing things.

In fact, this thing was originally planned to be divided into shards. There are more than 20 households in two teams, and they can get what they have. It is lucky to meet those who have food, and there is no need to divide it specially.

Chen Boqing's ability is obvious to all, and it's almost understandable to want to play tricks, but there is no need for a few young men. They use the most important food in the last days as a bargaining chip. After careful observation, the faces of these young men are slightly green, and their eyes are bright. Sincerity, it doesn't seem that there are too many complicated thoughts, maybe it is really like what they mentioned occasionally before, they regard themselves and Chen Boqing as life-saving benefactors.

"If you find it by yourself, you can keep it for yourself. You should also clean up the vegetables in the vegetable field early. These things may be gone after a while." Chen Boqing has never talked much. Ruan Hang naturally took responsibility for the matter, but the decision he made was not his own decision, but based on his understanding of Chen Boqing.As for the food, a reminder is just a casual thing.

"Xiao Ruan, open the door." As soon as Ruan Hang finished speaking, Chen Boqing called over before a group of boys could reply. Ruan Hang didn't intend to get in touch with the other group of people, so he turned around without thinking too much He left and entered his own house, leaving a group of young people standing outside the gate at a loss.

"They don't want it, what should we do now?" One of the big tall people asked with small glasses in the crowd.

"Go back and have something to eat, and then work."

The two of them couldn't be idle after packing up and going home. Chen Boqing moved the things up and down by himself, looking for a place to store them, while Ruan Hang was feeding the chickens and cooking, anxious to get Chen Boqing something to eat.

Potatoes and eggplants are all ready-made, and Ruan Hang picked a few chili peppers at random. The three delicacies from the ground are the most time-saving dishes in front of him. Cooking and peeling potatoes are all done by Ruan Hang. When Ruan Hang calls Chen Boqing During the meal, Chen Boqing was surprised at how Ruan Hang worked so fast.

Chen Boqing's big bowl is filled with rice, and the ground three delicacies are poured with soup. The eggplant is soft and smooth, and the soup is thick and delicious. The rice grains can be swallowed directly without chewing.

Originally, Ruan Hang filled it so much to save time, but Chen Boqing not only didn't feel fooled, but also thought it was enjoyable to eat this way, and he even filled a little more soup for the second bowl.

"Don't go in the afternoon, I'll just move it by myself. These dishes have to be processed quickly. When the weather is good, they should be dried or marinated. You can handle them at home." Chen Boqing chewed a pickled cucumber, and then put the vegetables in the bowl. After finishing the last few bites, he rushed to Ruan Hang.

"Okay, bro, don't worry, I'll help you when I'm done."

The lunch was simple, excluding Ruan Hang's cooking time, Chen Boqing finished the meal in less than 10 minutes. Ruan Hang originally wanted to let Chen Boqing rest, but Chen Boqing was in a hurry to pack his things, put down the bowls and chopsticks, and was about to turn around and leave.

Seeing this, Ruan Hang hurriedly took a few pieces of plum candy from Xijian, opened another pack of jelly, and grabbed Chen Boqing's clothes pocket to forcefully bring a few, but Ruan Hang's reason was justified, Chen Boqing was doing physical labor, Eating something sweet can also add some energy.

Chen Boqing didn't know what attitude he had towards this idea, but when the Ruan Hang Fortress gave him jelly, the neighbor was still very cute and cute, watching Ruan Hang stuffing him without moving, and even Ruan Hang finished filling him with jelly , Chen Boqing touched the jelly before pushing on the cart and walking out of the courtyard.

"By the way, when you come back, if you see a clean empty bucket, or a vat, remember to bring it back. I keep pickles or something, and you can bring two radishes back." Chen Boqing took the cart He put it on the truck again and was about to step on the accelerator to leave when Ruan Hang stood at the door and suddenly called out to Chen Boqing.

Chen Boqing responded loudly in the distance, and then drove away

Chen Boqing has already left, and Ruan Hang is also walking non-stop. They have picked a lot of eggplants and beans, and they don't have a weather forecast now, so they don't know the weather conditions in the next few days, so they have to hurry up while the weather is sunny. Deal with it, try to get more sun exposure for a while.

In the past, Ruan Hang’s family’s conditions were not good. When vegetables were in season, their family would buy a lot of cheap vegetables, and they would dry some of them every once in a while. When vegetables were expensive in winter, they would eat them again, which would save a lot of money for buying vegetables. So although Ruan Hang hasn't posted these things for several years, he still knows how to make them well.

There are usually two drying methods for beans. One is to clean them, steam them in a pot, and then cut them open and dry them in the sun.Another method is to put the beans directly in the sun, and then wait for it to lose part of its moisture and cut it open and dry it when it is relatively soft.

Both methods have their own advantages, but now Ruan Hang not only needs to process beans, but also eggplants, so he chooses to put the beans in the yard first, let the sun dry the beans first, the sun is more poisonous today, maybe It's almost time to wait until the eggplant is done with the beans.

Cut the eggplant into pieces and blanch it in water, just take it out and expose it to the sun, but Ruan Hang alone seems a little powerless, even Ruan Hang is so tired that he still sits on the small bench in front of the pot without moving, just wanting to wait. When Chen Boqing finished packing the cart, he left Chen Boqing to work as a coolie.

That being said, when Chen Boqing came back with a load of things at two or three o'clock, Ruan Hang didn't say a word. Explain that the eggplant will be finished soon, let Chen Boqing not worry, and tell him to go and pack things with peace of mind.

The pickup truck Chen Boqing drove was not too big. Although the eggplants and beans were loaded fast, but I don’t know if the eggplants were round and took up space, or for some other reason. It's not to lie to Chen Boqing after finishing it.

It's just that Ruan Hang has a more important reason besides this, that is, he found that when he was working, he didn't think about it, and even after a busy afternoon, he almost forgot that it was the end of the world. But as long as he stopped for a while, he would think of those bloody scenes. In comparison, he would rather make himself a little tired and forget about it for a while.

After the last pot of eggplants was placed, Ruan Hang stood up slowly from the squatting position while holding his knees. At a young age, Ruan Hang should have good waist strength, but Ruan Hang stood up and took those two steps while holding his waist. Worse than the old man.

But this can't be blamed on Ruan Hang. From [-] o'clock to now [-] o'clock, Ruan Hang cuts vegetables, burns fire and arranges eggplants, almost all of them are standing. Few of them can sit down for a while, and the next round will soon begin. , Placing eggplants is more physical work, squatting for a while, even Ruan Hang felt that it was more tiring than he played a whole game of basketball back then.

After an afternoon of exposure to the sun, the beans have lost moisture and become soft as Ruan Hang expected, and some of the tender beans have a feeling that they can be dried directly.

It was a happy thing to encounter a good weather for drying vegetables, but Ruan Hang saw it from a different angle. Before the end of the world, the weather was always cloudy and sunny. He hadn’t seen the sun for a long time, so he didn’t realize it right away. I realized that in such a season, the temperature is so low in the morning and evening, and the sun is so hot at noon, it is a very abnormal thing.

But the end of the world is an existence that people can't control and understand, including Ruan Hang himself, so it's a waste of time to think about it. It's better to cut up the beans and dry them.

After six o'clock in the afternoon, the sound of a small truck came from outside the courtyard again. Ruan Hang was preparing dinner and had to chop beans. , ran in the direction of the gate, and had to admit that he was really uncomfortable with being separated from Chen Boqing for the whole afternoon.

"Why did you come out with so little clothes on? It's cold outside." Chen Boqing was about to get out of the car to open the gate, but as soon as he got out of the car, he saw Ruan Hang in a T-shirt coming out of the gate, holding the door open with his hand. The button of the door, but staring at him eagerly, like a poor little stay at home, finally waiting for the adults to come back.

"Then what, let me see if I found the bucket?" Ruan Hang scratched his head, pretended not to care about looking at the car, and then said to Chen Boqing.After all, Ruan Hang is a young man, how can he admit that he is at home alone at night, and he is always thinking about things and getting a little scared.

"Found it, it's in the cab." Hearing this, Chen Boqing turned around and got into the cab, and came out after a while carrying a few buckets and two green radishes stained with mud.

Ruan Hang thought that Chen Boqing would not remember a casual sentence, but Chen Boqing not only remembered it, but judging from the degree of dehydration of the radish seedling, he probably pulled it out early in the morning.

"Brother, you have worked hard. The meal is almost ready. Let's go to the house to eat, and we will get these things later." Ruan Hang reached out and grabbed the radish tassels, and pointed to the direction of the house, urging Chen Boqing to go home early.

"You go in first, I'll drive the car into the courtyard first." After Chen Boqing said this, Ruan Hang couldn't say anything more, but just rubbed his cold arms, and walked away step by step.

There is too much work to be done, and Ruan Hang's dinner is also very simple. Once the dinner is finished, the two of them start moving again. They want to move all the things they find to the small warehouse in the yard, rice and potatoes. Food like that, moved into the house.

It looked like there were a lot of things on the van, but most of them were baskets and baskets, which took up a lot of space. It didn't take long for the two of them to finish eating, and they moved the whole load of things to the house. Of course, Chen Boqing's help was indispensable.

"Brother, eat a piece of radish for rest, and we will continue to fight later." After soaking his feet in warm water, Ruan Hang casually handed Chen Boqing a piece of radish, and gave a new order.

"What else is there to do?" Chen Boqing's question was not answered, but soon Chen Boqing also knew his task. The dehydrated beans were made into pickles, and it was his job to arrange the buckets neatly. There was not much left, and the two of them finished their busy day before ten o'clock, turned off the lights and went to the kang to prepare for rest.

In the dark room, only the sound of Ruan Hang's well-proportioned breathing could be heard by Chen Boqing's ears. Just when this feeling of peace of mind and drowsiness came together, Ruan Hang's soft voice came from beside him: "The cabbages and radishes must be harvested as soon as possible. It seems that some houses have been cut down." The voice weakened and Ruan Hang also fell asleep beside him, without the nightmare of last night, I wonder if it was because he was too tired.
