food crisis [end times]

It was raining heavily, and it collided with the continuous rainwater from the south all the way from the north, forming the flood pattern of the entire Eurasian continent.

A separate section was set up on TV and the Internet for flood prevention and disaster relief, and the situation of disaster relief was broadcast in real time.

The villagers watched as the vegetables in the yard were soaked and festered, and there was nothing they could do.

The shortage of vegetables has caused the price of vegetables to double.The government tried its best to suppress prices and crack down on unscrupulous merchants who picked up the plane to make a fortune, which directly caused some supermarkets to simply close their doors under the pretext of heavy rain and flooding.

A vegetable or a grain of rice is a major issue for the people's livelihood. The government has thought of various ways to solve it, but all kinds of troubles are put together at the moment, and it seems to be in a hurry.

Xiang Luo just made a self-heating hot pot.This kind of convenient self-heating stuff with vegetables is currently sold out on the Internet.The price is even doubled or tripled on second-hand platforms.Xiang Luo stocked up three boxes in advance.Although this thing is convenient and delicious, it cannot be eaten as a meal, and the shelf life is not long.So no need to stock up.On the contrary, the shelf life of the hot pot base is at least one and a half years. You can stock up a little more, and it tastes delicious when you put it in a dish.

While eating and checking the latest news, I heard the sound of a car horn outside.Then there was a knock on the outside courtyard door.

The courtyard walls and gates of Xiang Luo's house are custom-made. The courtyard walls are high and the gates are strong.The door made of heavy metal shook the mountain with two slaps, which could be heard clearly in the room.

It was still drizzling outside, so Xiang Luo put on a raincoat and went out to check the situation.

As soon as the small door was opened, it was Anwei.

"Have you eaten yet? The situation in your house is pretty good." An Wei probed inside.

Xiang Luo turned sideways to welcome people in, but Anwei shook his head and smiled, "I won't bother you any more. I thought we didn't have enough food at home, so I bought a lot of food. Besides, didn't your car get smashed and scrapped?" It's a pity. Don't think Zhu Yan is a bit fierce, but he has a good heart. As soon as I heard that your car broke down, let me buy a new one immediately. You take it first, and it's a little bit of our kindness."

Anwei took out the key and stuffed it into Xiang Luo's hand.Along the way, he was thinking about Xiang Luo's refusal and his persuasion.If it didn't work, he threw the key into his yard, turned around and drove away.

As a result, the hand was empty in the next second.

"Thank you."

"How can you be polite to me, this is your answer..." Anwei blurted out the words of persuasion but stuck in his throat, lowered his head and scratched in the air with his palms, and finally scratched his head in embarrassment.

You're welcome.

Xiang Luo crossed Anwei and looked out. There were two cars parked outside. One was the same car that crashed the other day, and the other was a Jaguar SUV.Just can't see in the car.I was able to see that day because it was cloudy and the windows did not reflect light.Today's light is better than that day, so there is only darkness left in the window.

But Xiang Luo believed that Zhu Yan was in one of the cars, still looking at him.

"Thank you Zhu Yan for helping me. Besides, please come over when you have time, I have something to tell him." Xiang Luo forced himself to look away, and said to An Wei.

Anwei said strangely: "You can call, don't you have his number?"

Anwei called Zhu Yan to Xiang Luo when Zhu Yan came out of the emergency room on the day of the car accident.

"I can't understand it on the phone."

Xiang Luo watched Anwei get into the Jaguar SUV, and watched the vehicle disappear at the end of the street almost masochistically.Step inside that brand new SUV that was delivered.

There is no man who does not love cars, and Xiang Luo understands the value of this car.But the moment he got in, what he thought of was not this car, but Zhu Yan who would be sitting in this car like a blood gourd if he wasn't there that day.

He almost lost him.

Looking back, it seemed that Zhu Yan was sitting in the co-pilot and looking out the window bored.

That day will not be far away.

Just as Xiang Luo was about to get out of the car and drive the car into the garage, his cell phone remembered, and when he connected, it was a man's suppressed voice.

"Xiao Luo, come here, your grandpa... has gone."

A brand new off-road vehicle left the village and went straight to a village more than 20 kilometers away.

Xiang Luo was that year, that is, five years ago.My parents died suddenly in a car accident, and my grandma followed.And Xiang Luo got the ability to see the future with his right eye.

Xiang Luo, who had just lost all his certificates and was hypersensitive, told everyone what he saw in his right eye in horror, but he was treated as a neuropathy.Even Xiang Luo's aunts and uncles advocated sending him to a nursing home, in the name of preventing him from being insane and killing people.

Even now, most people's impression of mental illness is still at the level of killing people.

then.It was the relatives on the mother's side who fought hard to keep Xiang Luo, and even said that they were going to send Xiang Luo to a mental hospital, but they just wanted to occupy his house, and they won by using public opinion.

In fact, the relationship between Xiang Luo's family and his grandma's relatives has not been very good. That was the first time Xiang Luo felt that they were relatives.

It's just because they live far away and they don't have much contact with each other at ordinary times. Five years have passed, and their relationship has faded again.

It's just that his grandpa is gone, and Xiang Luo, as the eldest grandson of his grandson, must go to mourn and wake up.

In fact, being able to die at this time is also a kind of happiness and luck.

Funerals in times of disaster are the most difficult, and we can only keep everything simple when there are no conditions.Xiang Luo brought them some vegetables and vacuum-packed rice left in his yard, plus 2000 yuan for the funeral expenses.

According to the local custom, when the old man dies, the daughter pays all the funeral expenses.But Xiang Luo's mother died many years ago, and Xiang Luo was still young.Only two thousand is reasonable.

The condition of my uncle's house is not good. The house was built 20 years ago. All the vegetable shelves were torn up in the front yard, and it was cleared quickly to set up a coffin shed.

When Xiang Luo arrived, he huddled with a group of people in the coffin, staring at the lacquered coffin speechlessly.

The aunt wiped her tears and pulled Xiang Luo to sigh: "I should have called you a long time ago, so I could take a look at it. But the old man left in such a hurry that he didn't even prepare for his birthday. That means he left happily." If you don’t suffer, you can feel better.”

Xiang Luo didn't know what to say, he had already forgotten what his grandfather looked like.Just seeing the crying in this mourning hall one after another, it is inevitable that I feel a little sad in my heart.

Xiang Luo's uncle Luo Changsheng thought of his dead sister when he saw Xiang Luo after his father died.

"Actually, the old man loved you very much when he was alive, and he often talked about you. It's just that you don't come here, so he is too embarrassed to go to you." The uncle sighed, but he didn't pull Xiang Luo to continue this topic, but turned to ask , "By the way, what about your house? In the field. I saw someone said in his hand that some of you have been washed away by the water."

"It's said in the group that we're still looking for it, but it doesn't matter that my house is high." Xiang Luo said.

"You said that today, people don't live a good life. I heard that there are volcanic eruptions abroad. Our situation is better. You have finished burning the paper. It's a bit cold here. Don't catch a cold. Let’s go to the house to have a meal, and we will have a vigil at night.” Luo Changsheng patted Xiang Luo on the back.

When Xiang Luo entered the room, there were women in the room busy making a ball, and someone shouted: "Oh my god! Why is this rice moldy!"

Xiang Changsheng's daughter-in-law hurriedly went to the kitchen to take a look: "Ah? I ate it yesterday and it was fine. Why is it so moldy? It can't be done. It's only been half a month since I bought it!"

The women in the kitchen were in a mess, and the people who came to help were busy, and they couldn't give people moldy food, what a deal!

The neighbor's daughter-in-law who came to help hurriedly asked her man to go home to save the rice from her own house, and the man went home reluctantly, but the top layer of the rice that was resisted was fine.I took a bowl to dig the bottom, but it was also green and moldy.

The neighbor's daughter-in-law had a bad face, fearing that others would suspect that she brought moldy rice on purpose, she pinched her waist and scolded the man, "Why didn't you just take it here without looking at it? You can eat this rice!"

The scolded man scratched his head only to find it strange, but he couldn't refute it.

Seeing that the rice brought by others was moldy, Xiang Changsheng's wife immediately felt better, and hurriedly opened her mouth to explain, "Why are you so arrogant? Don't you see that the sun has not seen for so many days recently, the tide is so strong, and the rice is rotten." Isn't it normal for the tide to grow mold? How could someone intentionally make moldy things for people to eat. How about that, I'll find someone to go to the village to buy rice."

As he said that he was about to pay, Xiang Luo said, "I brought two generations of rice instead."

Xiang Changsheng's daughter-in-law's eyes lit up: "Really!"

Xiang Luo was afraid of doubts, so he lied: "Actually, I bought it a few days ago and put it in the car. Is it just in time to use it?"

Moreover, what Xiang Luo brought was vacuum-packed, so it goes without saying that it was clean and hygienic.

After the rice was washed and put into the pot, Xiang Changsheng's daughter-in-law took Xiang Luo's hand in a strange way: "People say that when you are sleepy, someone will give you a pillow, or you can say that we are destined."

As the old saying goes, it’s hard for a smart woman to cook without rice, and these few bags of vacuum rice just solved the urgent need.

In fact, Xiang Luo also recently saw moldy grains with his right eye, so he vacuum-packed all the grains at home, and only vacuum-packed the grains he bought.

Xiang Luo only had a chance to do it in the corner and be quiet for a while after such a big and small matter was praised by the people around him.

Others didn't take this matter to heart, but Xiang Luo had already foreseen the seriousness.

Is this really a coincidence?

Open the forum and enter the moldy keyword. Sure enough, the screen is full of complaints about the current humid climate and the news of moldy food at home. There are also official statements calling for not to eat moldy food.

Xiang Luo's heart is like a mirror, and there will be famine after the end of the world.

But why is there famine?The national grain reserve is not a small sum.

Then there is only one explanation.

The food that was stored in the past can no longer be eaten...

After discovering this, Xiang Luo opened the shopping platform again and found a store that sells vacuum-packed rice to place large quantities of orders.Although it has already stored enough food.

That night, Xiang Luo Shouling would go into the room to take a rest at alternate times, and open the software to browse the latest news. On the top search, it was a news about the use of moldy corn in the feed factory.

The person in charge of the feed mill said aggrievedly that this was last year's new corn purchased just two months ago.They are also strictly controlled and stored, and they can't figure out why they get moldy.

But no one would believe him, the comment area was full of curses, Yan Ran was a carnival for keyboard warriors.

Maybe he wasn't lying.

Just as Xiang Luo wanted to change the software, a certain letter rang.Open it to see that someone requested to add a friend, the screen name is "Nao Nao Dae".

Xiang Luo thought it was a promotion and was about to delete it, but found that there were four words in the note.

"I'm Zhu Yan."
