food crisis [end times]

Zhu Yan leaned close to Xiang Luo, breathing on Xiang Luo's short-sleeved shoulders, soft and unreal.

With such a distance, Xiang Luo almost thought that he was going to kiss him.

Xiang Luo looked at Zhu Yan in a daze, Zhu Yan reached out to lift the iron basin, but was stopped by Xiang Luo: "It's hot."

Xiang Luo stretched out his hand and lifted the iron basin to the side, glanced at the potato and turned it over: "Wait a little longer, it smells a little better."

Xiang Luo was not willing to let Zhu Yan touch this.It is true that Xiang Luo has been doing rough work in the village for a long time, and his hands have a thin layer of calluses, which makes him more resistant to heat.Zhu Yan sits in the office all year round, and his hands are as tender as a little girl's, Xiang Luo can't bear to touch the hot things he touches.

Zhu Yan watched Xiang Luo skillfully turn over the hot potatoes with his hands, and thought of something, reached out to touch the potatoes, and retracted his hand because of the heat.Looking at Xiang Luo's ruthless iron hands, I don't know what to say.

Xiang Luo showed Xiang Luo the palm of his hand and said with a smile, "I have calluses on my hand. I let go of it before I felt the heat. Your hand is too tender."

In fact, it would be nothing if the little girl was said that, but it would be a sign of good fortune.But when a man is said that, it's like being teased "You can't do it".

Zhu Yan turned back and entered the room without opening his mouth. Xiang Luo saw that the potatoes were ripe, and the rest was to see that there was a little paste to enhance the aroma and taste. At this time, he had to grasp the timing and heat.Put away the phone, watched the potatoes wait and put them in an iron basin, and brought them into the house with a bottle of salt and pepper.

Anwei was playing a stand-alone game in a trance, Xiang Luo yelled.There was no response, so he put potatoes on his table, and poured a little salt and pepper into the dipping dish.

Going back to the house, Zhu Yan was reading a book, and when he saw that Tudou was ready, he closed the book and put it aside.The two sat together, and Xiang Luo helped him peel the skin and sprinkle salt and pepper on it.

It's rare to see Zhu Yanhou take a quick bite and take a hot breath.

"Slow down, if you don't have enough, bake it again. Have you ever eaten it before? You're so impatient." Xiang Luo saw that he enjoyed eating.

"No, it's really delicious." Zhu Yan blew on the heat of the potatoes, and blurted out, "I heard you say that this is delicious."

After that, there was silence.

Xiang Luo himself forgot to say this, but Xiang Luo remembered it quite clearly.

Seemingly feeling embarrassed, Zhu Yan coughed, and said again: "Didn't you want to bring me to your house before, and said a lot of delicious food for me. But when I came to your house, your house didn't have a stove. "

It was autumn at that time, and of course it was impossible to burn the stove.

At that time, the family was building a house during the slack season, and it was the only time that Zhu Yan came to Xiang Luo's house.

Suddenly mentioning the past, Xiang Luo didn't know how to start a conversation. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "You feel delicious just like that?"

Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows: "Is there anything else?"

"What the children in the village need most is to find delicious food." Xiang Luo said with a smile, "Let's eat it in the afternoon. If you eat it in the morning, you won't be able to eat lunch. I will roast sweet potatoes for you in the afternoon. I remember I used to buy vacuum-packed corn. I'll bake it for you tomorrow."

One stove can carry most of the delicacies in a child's childhood.

Zhu Yan was said to be greedy, and looking at Xiang Luo would still whet his appetite. Thinking about it, he took the potatoes and sat on the bedside to eat alone, and didn't keep Xiang Luo's portion.

How could Xiang Luo rob him?It's not easy to find out one he likes to eat, and I wish I could eat it for him every now and then to build a good impression.

But if you eat it all at once, you will get tired of it in two days, so you have to control it.

There is a saying that goes well, if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture a man's stomach.

Looking at Zhu Yan's delicious food over there, Xiang Luo began to seriously consider improving his cooking skills.

Xiang Luo didn't go there for the next few days, Zhu Yan took the time to go there twice to check his presence.When I came back, I also brought back news. As expected, there were several thefts in the village one after another.

The stolen food is basically food, and it happens in the whole village.Most likely it wasn't a thief who was doing the crime.

Some people even suspected that the person who stole something was a person on patrol.At least I have participated in it, otherwise it would be impossible to just escape the patrol every time.

It is precisely because of the repeated failure to catch the thief that the villagers have become less and less fond of patrolling.After all, the patrolling people eat the food in the village, and the food in the village was originally used to give emergency supplies to those who have no food at home.But even a thief could not be caught while eating public rations, and some people even began to doubt whether the patrol team was still necessary.

Xiang Luo's rest lasted for a week, seeing how long it took, it was unreasonable to rest for such a long time.

Just went to the morning shift, Xiang Luo went to find that there were only six people in total, and Xiao Lu didn't come either.

The weather has dropped a few degrees in recent days.In windy weather, the coldness will increase by one level if it drops by one degree.In addition, the villagers' impression of them has also deteriorated. Apart from being able to eat for free, this matter is basically a thankless existence.No one wants to come.

Xiang Luo didn't show up for a few days, and the group of people who worked together for a long time (often working together) really thought about it.

When the stove was turned up at the rest point, someone asked Xiang Luo, "Why haven't you come here for so many days?"

Xiang Luo had already thought of an excuse: "I had a cough two days ago, so I stayed at home for two days because I was afraid of catching a cold. I came here as soon as I got better in these two days."

"If you feel uncomfortable, you must rest. You said that you can't get out now, and there is no place to buy medicine in the village. If you have a headache, you can only stand hard."

Xiang Luo responded, and asked again: "By the way, the recent thieves have not settled yet?"

Xiang Luo knew it well in his heart, so he deliberately asked this question.

As soon as this matter was mentioned, someone sighed: "Don't talk about it, I haven't been able to catch it all the time. This thief is getting more and more courageous, and he only picks people who have people. He was almost caught by someone before, but Da Heitian didn't see it in a daze. Who is it? I saw the food being robbed. If this person is caught, he will have to be skinned alive! At this time, robbing food is still called alive!"

The older one next to him was soft-hearted, and said, "Maybe the family is just too difficult."

As soon as the voice fell to the ground, someone immediately retorted: "Isn't there still emergency food in the village? If you really have no food, can you register with the village and not give it? Besides, you can't grab other people's food even if you are in trouble. If you starve to death, you will let others starve to death. Killed? This kind of stealing is the product of wolves without parents! Only when you die will you be happy."

Xiang Luo made such a point, but they didn't participate in the discussion.

Several people scolded around one after another, seeing that Xiang Luo didn't speak, someone asked Xiang Luo:

"What do you think of this?"

Xiang Luodao blinked and said with a smile: "I don't have any idea, I just wonder if it's really possible that the person who stole things is in our patrol team."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silenced.

Everyone was afraid of being suspected, so someone immediately asked Xiang Luo: "Didn't your words imprison yourself? You still have strength, young man."

After all, Xiang Luo was the most qualified one.Xiang Luo had been publicizing that his family had no food, and he was involved in the gold ring incident not long ago.Xiang Luo claimed that he was ill and did not come after a thief came and went.Except for the first time when he was with other people, Xiang Luo had no one to help him prove his absence in the following burglary cases except for a few people who lived with him.

Xiang Luo saw that everyone's eyes were on him, so he didn't rush to speak, but waited for two more seconds before saying: "So no one can say anything about this matter until the right owner is caught. And it's up to you how to deal with it after you catch it." question."

Stealing at such a time, anyone who knows about it would want to skin the thief and cramp it.But what if you really catch it?Who can take the lead in making the decision to use lynching?Although it is chaotic now, it has not completely escaped from official control. If something happens in the future, who will it be?

Also because of Xiang Luo's straightforward words, the people who were together also understood a little bit, maybe the thief can't be caught now, not necessarily because he can't really catch it, but because he doesn't want to catch it on purpose.

What if I was caught and was retaliated against?How to deal with it?If the punishment is serious, wouldn't it be the crime of the arrester?

It's unreasonable to think like this, but it is in line with reality.

Because they are from the same village, if we want to take care of the fellowship, we can't do things too badly.Otherwise, even if the other party made a mistake first, you, the person who corrects the mistake, may be isolated by others.

Those who frequently ask for leave recently and do not participate may just want to understand this and avoid it.

Xiang Luo's words can be regarded as awakening the dreamer, a group of people have their own thoughts, but this topic can't be continued.

Fortunately, the most indispensable topic in the village is the topic of chatting. Some people talked about their family affairs and the changes in recent days. While talking, they talked about Zhou Zhenxing, who has been in the limelight in the village recently. up.

Zhou Zhenxing, the younger brother of the village chief Zhou Zhenhua.In this snowy winter with no green leaves, fresh mushrooms can be provided.

This alone is enough to make the whole village flock to it.

"Recently, many people have introduced partners to his family! This time, it's all right. His family can produce mushrooms. These mushrooms can not only support a large family, but the two sons don't have to worry about marrying a daughter-in-law. Let's take mushrooms as a bride price. The little girl in this village is not allowed to be picked by the Zhou family." One person said enviously.

When Xiang Luo heard them talking, his ears moved, but he didn't speak, but listened very carefully.

Zhu Yan really hit the spot.Taking advantage of Mushroom's popularity, he first arranged for the child's marriage.

"I'm not worried about being a girl this time. Didn't you say who's girl you fancy?" someone asked.

A middle-aged man chuckled, and said mysteriously: "I also heard that he seems to have taken a fancy to the girl from the Zhou family in Xitou, who seems to be the boss of Zhou Wenshu's family. pretty."

"Zhou Wenshu? Is his wife the old Xiang family?"

The topic made money on Xiang Luo again.Zhou Wenshu is Xiang Luo's second uncle, and his eldest daughter is Xiang Luo's cousin Zhou Nana.

Before Xiang Luo could react, he looked at the person who broke the news with doubts.

The author has something to say: The man was a little embarrassed when Xiang Luo saw it, and said: "It's just what I heard. My brother and daughter-in-law went to buy mushrooms yesterday, and they came back to learn from us. They said that the old Zhou's house is only lively now, Choosing a daughter-in-law is like choosing a concubine. You are picky about the girls in the village. One is fat and the other is thin. It seems that some girls even use two taels of mushrooms to ask someone to make peace. But marriage It's a matter between the two families, and it's not a matter of whether the girl is happy or not."
