The return of natural disasters before the end of the world

Nan Tian took a greedy breath, the scent wafting in the air was really tickling.Looking at the uncooked fried chicken, he swallowed: "How are you going to sell it? By the catty or by the piece?"

"Ten catties of rice for chicken legs and chicken racks, five catties of rice for chicken wings and chicken feet, and three catties of rice for chicken hearts and kidneys."

Nan Tian did the math, no matter how one chicken can be sold for seventy or eighty catties of rice.Although the price they gave themselves was one hundred catties of rice for one chicken, it was still alive and whole, and its nutritional value alone was richer than that of fried chicken.It's just that there are seasonings in it, so it feels like it's a bit of a loss.

Nan Tian asked his question, but Yao Ziqing smiled and said, "Think about it, this chicken also has chicken breast meat besides the legs. Cut the chicken breast meat into pieces one by one. One piece of chicken breast is only two catties of rice. Calculated in this way, the whole chicken is not much different. Otherwise, there are not many people who can be ruthless enough to buy a whole chicken. If it is separated like this, it is actually not much, so naturally I gritted my teeth and bought it! "

Nan Tian pouted, what a profiteer!With such a nice smile, it turns out he is also a black hearted guy!But in fact, it's really not too much. Originally, a native chicken cost several hundred.A catty of rice is only two or three yuan, and a hundred catties is more than 300 yuan, so the price is considered equal.It's just a lot at first glance.

The fragrance attracted a lot of people to watch, some couldn't bear to ask the price, and immediately retreated.Ten catties of rice is enough to save for a period of time. It's just a chicken drumstick. If you order some meat, you'll probably lose it in two or three bites. It's really not worth it.

Fang Jinlei didn't care about them, he just concentrated on frying things.Soon a crispy and crispy chicken rack will be fried.Lei Lang cut the large shelf with scissors, and then skillfully picked up a few drink bottles with many small holes poked in the caps, which contained cumin powder and chili powder, and sprayed them on the crackling On the chicken rack, the fragrance can float far away without being carried by the wind.The people nearby who wanted to eat but couldn't afford it swallowed their saliva one by one, staring at it with green eyes.

Lei Lang inserted the processed items into a few thinner wooden sticks and put them on a plate.Yao Ziqing directly took two small wooden sticks, picked one that looked easier to eat, and handed it to the third brother's mouth.

Lei Lang squinted and smiled and opened his mouth to eat, but before he could bite, the delicacy in his mouth was delivered by Si'er to the second brother's mouth.

Lei Lang stared at him: "You are partial to the second brother!"

Yao Ziqing made a face at him, and asked his second brother, "How does it taste?"

Lei Xiao nodded, seeing Si'er teasing his third brother, felt that Si'er had become more and more cheerful since returning home from school.Although he used to laugh at Lei Lang like this before, it was always at home.In fact, it is rare to see Sier like this outside.With a thought, I couldn't help but reached out and picked up a chicken rack, and fed it to Si'er's mouth.Seeing his shiny lips, he suddenly felt his throat dry and itchy.

Ma Chen handed the plate to Nan Tian, ​​and Nan Tian, ​​who was so greedy until drooling, was already itchy, so he didn't show politeness to them, he just grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

While gnawing on the chicken rack in his mouth, he opened his mouth to let out a sigh of relief. It was obviously very hot, and he was holding it alternately with both hands, and he was reluctant to wait for it to cool down before eating.

Seeing that Nan Tian was eating the delicious fried chicken, the people beside him secretly swallowed their saliva.It's almost like masochistic, reluctant to buy, but also reluctant to leave while watching others eat.

It can be said that it has been several months since the hard days. The weather was hot and the prices soared. Although I could still buy things, I couldn’t bear it. I always wanted to wait for the weather to return to normal.As a result, the weather gets worse the longer you wait.And then the whole social order is messed up.Want to buy, can't wait to spend money to buy, but it's too late.

In fact, I haven't seen any meat for a month, but once it arouses greediness, people who think about it can't stand it.It's okay for the adults, and they just stood around and watched for a little bit of face.

The child didn't care so much anymore, and almost threw himself on the stall.He kept pestering the adults at home that he wanted to eat.Originally, these things are more attractive to children. They haven’t eaten much or even seen them for several months. Now that they see and smell the fragrance, how can they restrain themselves? !

Some parents who loved their children and were still able to go home took a few catties of rice noodles and exchanged some chicken breasts.Although the chicken breast is not very tasty, but if more seasoning is sprinkled on the surface, the taste is still good.

The child's parents insisted on adding more seasoning.Lei Lang was very cheerful, the first customer at the booth was full of seasonings.Looking at it, Nan Tian wished he could snatch the bottle and let him relax!

The child's parents exchanged a catty of rice for five chicken breasts. The meat was cut into small cubes and battered with flour. The outside was crispy and the inside was soft and tender.The child who hadn't eaten meat for a long time ate it up in three or two bites. He was reluctant to part with the shredded meat left on the skewer. After biting for a long time, he gnawed it clean, and licked his lips eagerly.

"Thunder?"

Suddenly there was a familiar voice in the crowd, Lei Li looked up and glanced around, because the environment was relatively dark, it took a while to see Lei Yi and the others in the crowd.Seeing them rushing over, he picked up the finished fried chicken and gave it to them: "Try it, it's just out of the pan, it's hot, and there are seasonings on the side, if you think it's not spicy enough, add some yourself!"

Lei Gang and Lei Yi were not very polite, because they were not so hot after being left for a while, so they ate a few mouthfuls.Because the chicken racks are being made now, after the bones are fried very crispy, I don’t even spit out the bones, just chew and swallow them.

Lei Lang looked at the two of them, seeing no other villagers, and asked with some doubts: "It's just you two? What are you doing in town? Are you here to watch the excitement or do you want to buy something?"

Lei Yi's face suddenly became a little bad, thinking of something, he chewed the bones in his mouth fiercely.Lei Gang smiled wryly and shook his head: "Two thousand and five catties of rice, that's how I sent Lei Chenggen and the others away."

Originally, the harvest in the past few years has been bad, and both parents are in the town, have their own jobs, and they both have jobs. It can be said that although they come from farming households, they have never been in the field for a day.The situation in the past few years was not good, although grandpa also said that he should stock up on more food.But they are too old to plant land at all.

I bought a lot of food before and put it in my grandfather's house. Rice and other things that are vacuum-packed in a bag of [-] catties are directly found by the manufacturer and packed in hundreds of bags.Those that have been processed and put away are the most bought, and I also bought a lot of bulk rice, but now I spit out more than half of it, and I feel a sense of crisis to some extent.

This is not a discussion between two brothers at night, first come to the town to see, understand the current situation, and then see if there is any way to enrich the granary.Otherwise, how can I be practical if I can't make ends meet.Everyone in the family, old and young, have to eat and drink.The fields are so dry that the fishponds have become clods of mud, so there is no water to grow the fields.Even super drought-resistant things like corn and sweet potatoes can't survive, so how can they count on farming? !

Hearing their words, Lei Zheng and the others also had lingering fears.The land is completely hopeless, and I can only count on the small vegetable field in front of the house, take good care of it, and give some water to irrigate it in the shade. Although it looks like a seedling, it is still growing slowly.

"So what do you think? Do you have any plans?"

Lei Gang shook his head and sighed: "I don't have any plans. I saw along the way that some old things at home were exchanged for food. The problem is what else is lacking now besides food? Those computer and electronic things that used to be dead expensive are now a few potatoes. It can be exchanged, but the question is what is the use of it, even the machine can’t be turned on!”

Lu Xueyi interjected: "It's useless to drive it, it might explode anytime when it's so hot!"

"Isn't the point that it can't be turned on at all?" Yao Ziqing looked at the second brother and said, if it could be turned on, then he would have filled the room with ice to cool down the temperature and started to play.Now that even the generator has been put into the space, I am afraid that something will happen if the temperature outside is too high.

Lei Lang squinted at the two of them: "You are really enough!"

The people watching from the side watched their own food, eating mouthful after mouthful, and even saw that there was not much left, so they threw another shelf to fry.The sound of frying made them really tempting to hear.

Some people really can't bear it. They don't have much rice at home, so they use sweet potatoes and potatoes instead. They can't afford chicken legs, so they can eat chicken wings.

The moment the fried chicken enters the mouth, it seems to be back to the past, the noisy night market, friends bragging and farting, and food stalls wafting the smell of food everywhere.The shirtless feet still rubbing under the table, the feeling of cold beer going down the throat, those pasts seem to be vivid in my memory.

It's a pity that the world has become dark now, and maybe those pasts will never go back.Thinking of this, some people's eyes turned red.

With a beginning, naturally don't worry that no one will buy it later.The wine and meat of the wealthy family stinks, and the roads are frozen to death. No matter what the environment becomes, there will always be a level difference.

Ten chickens, they killed one on the spot, and the remaining nine were bought by the first person, and more and more came one after another. It's a pity that the stall is still working hard.Knowing that they will come to set up a stall tomorrow, they all said that they should come early tomorrow!

In less than two hours, everything was sold out, and there was nothing left.Yao Ziqing and Lei Xiao came back after wandering around, and saw that they were packing up the stalls and preparing to go home, and went over to see that they were actually empty.

"I said it must be very easy to sell! Is it all rice?"

"Not all of them, but they are all grains and the like, and there are even five catties of highland barley. We don't have much of this stuff here. I don't know how to make it yet. Go back and ask grandma."

Yao Ziqing's black line, this kind of food is relatively common on the plateau, the people here really don't eat much, and some people have never eaten barley in their entire lives.Wouldn't it be a waste if grandma didn't know how to do it? !

"It's okay, the method of highland barley is similar to that of rice. You can cook porridge, grind it into flour and make it into steamed buns and pancakes. There is nothing special about the method."

Yao Ziqing patted his elder brother on the shoulder: "Sure enough, it is beneficial to learn this major!"

Lei Li patted his head lightly: "It's not big or small!"

Nan Tian has been hanging around not far away, because they are the first stall selling cooked food in the market, and he is afraid that people who are forced by the environment will rush to their brains and do something impulsive.Although there is no need to doubt the force value of a group of them, it is hard to explain what happened.

Seeing that they closed the stalls after they were busy, they came over: "Has the stalls been closed so early? It's still an hour before dawn!"

"Why don't you go back after it's sold out, go back early to rest, and come back at night, this seat is reserved for us, here, booth fee!"

How could Nantian accept them? I ate several pieces of chicken today. After all, it's not cheap!If they still charged their booth fee, it would be really unreasonable: "Don't! This is out of order, isn't it! I'm not polite to eat your food just now, take it away!"

Lei Li threw a small bag of about two or three catties of rice into his arms: "Take it away, it's not a day or two, what to do or what to do, there are so many stalls to look at, and being special is not conducive to long-term management."

Nan Tian thought for a while and said, "Okay, then you have reserved this booth for tonight!"

Lu Xueyi squeezed his sore arm, and later he was the one who exploded. At first it was fun, but then he forgot.When he remembered that this was not his stall, he was just here to join in the fun, then he looked again, and everything had been blown up, not even the chicken butts left.Someone traded three catties of potatoes for all the chicken butts.But some people are just so good!

He walked over and poked Fang Jinlei: "I put in a lot of effort tonight! It counts as a part-time job for you, how can you compensate me?!"

Yao Ziqing looked at him with disgust: "You didn't eat less, okay? It's not very reasonable to help!"

Lu Xueyi thought so too. Although he was busy all night, he did not eat less during the frying process. Basically, there was something in his mouth chewing all night.In this way, it should be Fang Jinlei's loss?

"Then, I don't want your compensation. Tomorrow, no, it's tonight, and I'll come to help you. How about letting me eat something? Just treat it as a labor fee!"

"Tsk, your labor fee is really not cheap~"

Lu Xueyi glared at Yao Ziqing and roared angrily: "If you don't pick on me, your tongue will fall off, won't you!"

Seeing that everything was almost packed, Lei Xiao got on the bicycle he rode over and shouted to the frolicking people over there: "Sier, go home!"

"Oh! It's coming!"

Then, too lazy to quarrel with Lu Xueyi, he sat on the back seat of the bicycle and grabbed the clothes on Lei Xiao's waist: "Okay, I'm sitting still."

With a kick, Lei Xiao slid very lightly and far away, and quickly threw away the two tricycles behind him.

Lei Yi and Lei Gang didn't leave early, but helped them sell out all the fried chicken.After packing up their things, the two brothers Cai followed them back on the bike that they rode over.

Back in the village, Lei Gang asked with some embarrassment: "Can we go with you tonight? My mother made some tofu, and I can make some tofu balls. I want to take some and try to sell them?"

It's not difficult to just sell something along the way.Lei Li didn't even ask Fang Jinlei's opinion, and agreed directly.Lei Yi and Lei Gang are pretty good, not the kind of people who can't figure it out.Although it is still uncertain whether it is worthy of deep friendship, it is still no problem to be a friend on the surface.

Although they belong to the same village, their father Lei Yuanming settled down in the town early.So Lei Yi and Lei Gang are actually not familiar with the people in the village.It’s just that when I was studying, I would come back to accompany my grandparents during the winter and summer vacations, but my friendship with other people is average.

Maybe people are visual animals, and they will always be a little closer to good-looking things and be more inclusive.Lei Xiao and his family are quite famous in the village, and they all look good.And growing up in such a difficult environment, they can still be so promising. Many elders like to talk about children from other people's families.

After a few contacts, I found that they are actually quite easy to get along with.In the past, it was fine. They lived their own lives, and it was enough to say hello when they met.But now the situation is getting worse and worse, they have no interpersonal relationship in the village, if they can form an alliance with Lei Xiao and his family, it is naturally the best thing.

When I got home, I told my family what I saw and heard today, and also told my grandpa what I thought.Although grandpa is getting older, his life experience is somehow better than them.

Lei Rongshi agrees with the two grandsons' thoughts: "Lei Li and the others are all good. Look at the life of your grandma, which family and household are not worrying about food now, and everyone is frowning. How about you?" Grandma is happy all day long, and she knows that her grandsons have never treated her badly, and their brothers are all capable, if you want to have a deep friendship with them, you must be firm, and you can't waver!"

Speaking of this, I felt a little helpless: "It was a time when there was no harvest, and only when a village united could it develop better, but there were so few rat droppings, and the whole pot of porridge was ruined!"

Lei Gang and the others naturally knew who Lei Rongshi was talking about.It doesn't matter how much they hate this kind of person who seizes the opportunity and bites him.Life is going to go on, and people and children are indeed innocent enough.If it happened to his own children, it would not be an exaggeration to kill them with a knife.So even if it was [-] catties of rice, they gritted their teeth and accepted it.

"Grandpa, don't worry, we still understand the way of dealing with people. It's just that you know them better, so I ask you if they are worthy of close friendship. Since Grandpa is also very optimistic about them, then we can rest assured!"

Lei Gang touched his son's head and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, you can live on anyway. Make some tofu balls and try them at night. Maybe there will be a market? If not, let's go on Think of ways to!"

Lei Kang looked up at his father, and said with some guilt: "Dad, did I do something wrong, which made the family hungry?"

Those people came to make trouble for him. He knew that his mother had been protecting him so that he was not pulled out.If the matter could be repeated, he would still step forward when he saw his sister being bullied, but the pushing force would probably be much lighter.Unfortunately, there is no way to come back in time.

Lei Gang patted him on the forehead: "Silly boy, as a brother, you protect your sister, do you think it's wrong?"

Lei Kang shakes his head

"Isn't that what it is! People are bullying and coming to your door. If you see your sister being bullied and don't go forward to protect her, that's wrong! This incident was an accident. Although it can't be said that it has nothing to do with you, but you It wasn't intentional, right?"

Lei Kang nodded, pouted, still depressed.

Lei Yi smiled and picked up his nephew, put him on his body and sat down: "Hey, a man should be brave enough to take responsibility. You are a brother, and it is your responsibility to protect your sister, so you are right, but Lei Mengni is a girl, men don't You can hit a woman casually, you are wrong about this, so you are still young, as your guardian, we naturally have to bear your mistakes, but you have to understand where your mistakes are?"

Lei Yi said again: "In the future, if you encounter this kind of thing, if the other party is a girl, you can't do it easily, but you can pull your sister behind to protect you, so that you can protect your sister without doing anything to the girl. Didn’t it kill two birds with one stone?”

Lei Kang's thought at the moment is, if the other party is a girl, should he call her standing up?What Lei Yi didn't know was that these words brought another wife slave to the world...

Yao Ziqing and Lei Xiao returned home first, saw Xiao Wu guarding the living room, took out a sausage from the space and fed it to him: "Xiao Wu is so good, he knows how to take care of the house at such a young age, good job Damn!"

Lei Xiao drank water with a water glass, squinting at Xiao Wu.He is fat all over his body, standing up with all four feet facing the ground is as high as an adult's knees, is he still small?Since the weather is hot, I haven't brought it to practice well, look at this fat man.It seems that the exercise cannot be stopped.

In about five or six minutes, the people behind came back.Because Yao Ziqing and his family have a relatively large yard, and for the convenience of gathering, they simply parked their cars at their home.When a group of people came back, they naturally made a lot of noise. Grandma heard the sound upstairs and hurried down. Seeing that they were all hot and sweaty, she hurriedly called them into the house: "Hurry up, eat some watermelon to relieve the heat, I'm exhausted." Well, how are the sales going?"

Lu Xueyi showed a big smile to his grandma, biting into the crunchy, delicious, juicy and sweet watermelon, his cheeks were full: "Business is very good! It hasn't stopped all night! It's all sold out There are still a lot of people who haven't bought it, let's go early at night and bring some more!"

Grandma was relieved when she heard this. She was also worried that the chickens would not be able to bear it in such a hot day.There was a family in the village who raised a pig. They watched it lose weight every day, but they were reluctant to slaughter it.The main reason is that not many people in the village are willing to buy it. After killing the meat, you can’t put it away, and if you finish eating it, it will be a waste if it breaks!

"It's good if it can be sold. The family at the end of the village raises pigs, but unfortunately they are getting thinner and thinner. A few days ago, I asked me if I wanted to buy pork. I forgot to ask you."

The main reason is that there is meat every day at home, unless it is hot and it is too greasy to eat.Although she was a little curious about the fact that there was fresh meat at home every day, she didn't ask much.So I forgot about the pork, and I just remembered it now, anyway, I just said in passing, whether I want to buy it or not depends on my grandson.

Lei Li and the others didn't respond, but Lu Xueyi had an idea: "Grandma, is it a whole pig?"

Seeing that he wanted to sell, Lei Zheng reminded: "There are too many that can't be sold overnight, and they will definitely break if left unattended. Don't do stupid things!"

"Am I such a stupid person? I don't want to buy it by myself. Ma Chen and Lei Yi can share some. We don't set up stalls together and go to different places. The market is so big. In the middle of the tail, how good it is!"

Lei Zheng squinted his eyes and thought for a while, it seems that it is a feasible way.Anyway, there are so many things stolen from the supermarket, and rice doesn't have to be exchanged.No matter what happens, you can't lose!
