The return of natural disasters before the end of the world

The opening of the shopping mall can be said to have caused a tornado of crazy buying in the town. Cheng Hui never knew that there were so many people storing food in their town. Those who have surplus food to buy things are still purely watching the excitement, but it is estimated that the latter is more likely.

Cheng Tao also came over to take a look. Seeing the crowds of people, he immediately lost the desire to go in and take a look.Seeing that my brother was busy organizing manpower to maintain order on the scene, he said hello and prepared to go back.

When I went back, I happened to see Yao Ziqing coming with Xiao Wu, and he quickly greeted him with a smile: "Come here to watch the excitement? I heard that you came to set up a stall yesterday, why can't you come out to set up a stall? Stay at home bored?"

Yao Ziqing smiled, and when he saw the crowd, he didn't dare to go in immediately, and took Xiao Wu away a bit: "You can't stay behind closed doors, right? The news is so closed, are they all for shopping? Is that kind of energy lamp sold in the mall?"

Cheng Tao shook his head directly: "No, if there is, my brother would have already bought some seasonings, special products from various places, daily necessities, etc., but they are not cheap. The reason why the world is really in chaos is because there is no A channel for material exchange, like the primitive society, is not the same as the low productivity, no high-tech equipment, but still live well, they have their own way of life, if they lack something, they know where to change it, how to get it I got it, now that the mall is open, I can find channels to get what I want, and the turmoil will subside, and it is estimated that the days of peace are not far away.”

Yao Ziqing shrugged his shoulders noncommittally. He didn't care about these things. What kind of progress the world will have in the future is not something that a small person like him cares about. Anyway, no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than the current life.Even if it is worse than now, he and his second brother are capable of supporting their family to live a good life.

To be honest, apart from the inconvenient life in many places, he felt that his life was better than before.In the last life, in order to let the family live well, I got up early and worked late every day, and put in so much effort for a list.The management of interpersonal relationships between colleagues, especially in the workplace, is always indispensable. The unfair treatment and various pressures are really not as simple and direct as the current day.

But all of this is because he and his second brother have abilities beyond ordinary people.Otherwise, they are also a member of the struggling army.

Cheng Tao touched Xiao Wu, he had been away from Yao Ziqing's house for a month, and he hadn't seen him for a while, and Xiao Wu was not unfamiliar, and when he was touched, he wagged his tail to show his closeness.

"Has the wall of your village been built yet?"

Yao Ziqing shook his head: "I'm rushing to work day and night. The outer wall will probably be completed by the end of this month, and the order of some internal houses may not be good this year. It's hot again these two days. Fortunately, the sun is not so harsh, but I feel this kind of comfort. The weather won’t last for a few more days.”

Cheng Tao sighed: "It's going to be hot again, these days are really endless, and the people in the army who are in charge of farming now are a group of half-grown children, about ten years old, who bend over to the ground every day It’s just one day, and he said with a smile, it’s good to have land to plant, and if you can plant land, you can live on that day, which really makes people’s heart sore, thinking about what we were doing when we were as old as them?”

Yao Ziqing thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "At that time, I was drawing, and my second brother brought back from school a picture book with various papers stapled together. The brushes were given by my second brother with the money from selling wild vegetables. I bought it, but I was reluctant to use it. I specially used other people’s children’s leftover watercolor pens, the kind of cotton refills mixed with pigments. If I can’t draw, I just pour a little water until the color is gone Change"

Thinking of that time, being able to pick up a paintbrush and have a blank paper for him to draw on, I feel very satisfied: "Although life was not good before, but looking back now, I am really happy"

Cheng Tao couldn't help laughing: "Yes, even if my brother left me alone in the boarding school at that time, I really want to go back to the past!"

It's a pity that there are not many people who are as fortunate as Yao Ziqing to go back to the past and do it all over again.

Cheng Tao suddenly remembered something, and his expression became serious: "You'd better tell the people in your village that because of the opening of the shopping mall during this period, many people are thinking of selling goods, and they are in groups, from all kinds of people. The place is full of food and daily necessities, but a lot of them have gone out, so far, not many have come back.”

Yao Ziqing was surprised: "If there are many people, the danger should be greatly reduced. How many people went?"

Cheng Hui shook his head and said: "I don't know the details. I heard from my brother two days ago that there was a team of about 40 people. Three came back, one was lame, and the other died soon after returning."

Yao Ziqing looked at him for a long time and didn't know what to say. He turned his eyes to the crowd who were still rushing into the shopping mall, and couldn't help frowning: "If the outside is completely reduced to hell, then how can Wan'an Town resist it in the future?" live?"

The town is considered a combination of urban and rural areas, so there are quite a lot of fields. Whether it is enclosing the land outside the house or putting some soil in the house with wood, it is much better than those in the bustling metropolis.Moreover, if there are millions of people in a big city without electricity and supplies, even if the house is full of banknotes, they can only starve to death with the banknotes. Therefore, the hardest hit areas are the once prosperous cities.

Originally, urban people did not have the habit of storing food. It is conceivable that when the end comes, they will not be able to support themselves, and their hope of survival will be even slimmer.The rice riot made the battle for materials that had been relieved a little bit more severe, so after winter, those who can survive in the city are probably all ruthless characters.

Cheng Tao was also very worried. Even if his elder brother was stationed here before, he didn't have much sense of belonging to Wan'an Town. Since he was a child, he has been wandering around without a fixed place. It is not easy for him to feel a sense of belonging to a place.But since the winter, my brother's series of actions, even before he reacted, has already held the whole town in his hands, and he clearly feels that he will take root here in the future, and this town will be my brother in the future He has the feeling of truly settling down because of his responsibilities, and he will naturally become worried.

"Recently, the manpower for the construction of the city has increased, and the wheels are running 24 hours a day. I don't know where my brother got so many materials. The planting land has not yet harvested. Now the rations of those workers are all paid by my brother. Slapping a swollen face to pretend to be fat"

Where do the supplies come from?Of course, Yao Ziqing knew better than anyone else that he also took out half of the supplies he had prepared, and there were hundreds of containers that the second brother got.Now the town has a population of about 30, but at most there are only [-] workers. If consumed according to the number of people, it can last for two or three years.As long as most of them are expensive energy materials, a little bit can be exchanged for a lot of food.

Seeing Cheng Tao's worried look, he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, you have to believe in your brother's ability, maybe Wan'an Town can really become a paradise in the end times?!"

Cheng Tao sighed and said, "I hope."

Knowing that there were no such energy lamps in the mall, Yao Ziqing didn't stay too long. After talking with Cheng Tao for a while, he took Xiao Wu back first.Anyway, the shopping mall is here, so you can wait until the craze is over and come see it later.

The matter of energy lamps spread quickly. Lights mean light, and energy means the ability to generate electricity. Now the biggest problem is not only food, but electrical equipment is the top priority.The widespread use of electricity accelerated the modernization of world industry and ushered in a new era in human history.But suddenly one day, all these things disappeared, and all human beings fell into a dark disaster.

Now that there are energy lamps, it means that soon those electrical equipment will undergo a series of improvements, and the world will return to light again.So those who heard the news were all elated, which meant that in the near future, they could get rid of this primitive life and return to the civilized world again.

It's just that Yao Ziqing is not very optimistic about this. It may be difficult to recover from the trauma of this world-class disaster in less than ten or twenty years.Even if the new energy is fully promoted, what will be restored is the standard of living in the 20s and 80s, and the big deal is to avoid some detours.

But all of this is still too far away, it's better to live in the present first.

Because the things planted on the third floor are blessed by the spirit array, they grow very fast and very well.Lei Li had grown a lot of beans before, and there were two big bags full of soybeans alone.Ma Chen grinds some soy milk every day. Soy milk is rich in vitamins and is good for women and children. Adding a little sugar and cooking it tastes much better than soy milk mixed with soy milk essence.The elderly and children drink two cups a day, not to mention how white, tender and rosy their complexions are.

Grandma has always done some handicrafts very well. Seeing so many soybeans, she wanted to make some rice sauce, so she asked the second and fourth children if there was any white wine at home. There must be a lot of chili noodles at home, and they eat barbecue on weekdays , Those chili noodles are sprinkled in for free.There is also a lot of sesame oil in stock at home, and it must taste good when used to make fermented bean curd.

When I was young, my grandma often made tofu, which is commonly known as moldy tofu, but at that time there were ready-made tofu. Now I have to make tofu by myself, and then process it into fermented bean curd.

Speaking of tofu, Yao Ziqing also stored a lot in the space, but it was inconvenient to just take it out.I only found out after asking my grandmother that she can even marinate tofu by herself, which is really amazing!

Aunt Lily is also very good at making these things, such as beef chili sauce, chopped pepper sauce, fermented bean curd and various appetizing sauces.Tofu requires gypsum and sackcloth, some of which are not available at home, so I have to go to the village to ask, and some can be exchanged for food.Aunt Lili heard that grandma was making fermented bean curd, so she also came to buy some soybeans and left.

Aunt Lili asked about it. Grandma and the others made food for themselves. Now that the town is a little more peaceful, there are more trading markets for exchanging materials. I was thinking about where to start to get some extra money to supplement my living. Grandma gave She is inspired.

"I just don't know where to make clay pots. Fermentation in clay pots is the best. There are also those small bottles and cans. Otherwise, if people want to buy them, what should they use? You can't let people bring their own bowls?"

Belle sat next to him and said with a smile: "Why not, it can be said that those who bring their own bowls and plates will get half a piece more. Now it's not the same as before. Half a piece of fermented bean curd is enough for many people to fight for it."

Ma Xin said from the side: "Aren't there many big leaves in the forest? Although not as many as lotus leaves, they are as big as two palms. One or two pieces of fermented bean curd are enough."

Aunt Lili's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea, even if I don't want to give away half a piece of fermented bean curd for free, it's better to grab a lot of leaves without money!"
