food crisis [end times]

Chapter 45 Chapter 45

After discussing with Zhu Yan, Xiang Luo slaughtered the meat rabbits that were already fit for consumption. After peeling and processing, they were vacuum-packed and frozen.You can eat slowly at home. Anyway, Anwei doesn't know how much meat is left in the house, so he won't find out.

And Xiang Luo also bought materials for tanning leather, tanned the rabbit skin and stored it, it will be useful later.

Xiang Luo had been busy in the basement all morning, he was hungry at noon and his body was a little weak, knowing that his blood sugar was low, Xiang Luo didn't force himself, and when he came out of the basement, he found that Zhu Yan had opened a window and was looking out.

There are two layers of windows, one is opened and the other is outside, but a little outside sound can be heard.

"What's wrong?" Xiang Luo asked.

"There are planes in the sky." Zhu Yan said.

The outer window was covered with a thick layer of frost, and nothing could be seen at all.But by opening a window, the sound of the roaring engine could already be heard outside.

Xiang Luo went out of the house in a cotton-padded jacket, a scarf around his neck, and a dog fur hat. The cold wind in his face chilled his eyes.

I haven't gone out for a long time, and I can't keep my eyes open when I go out suddenly.Then his eyes were drawn to the sky.

Three military fighter jets hovered in the sky, drawing a beautiful arc in the sky.

Then, a streak of white streaked across the air.

Xiang Luo squinted his eyes and took a closer look. They were all small parachutes.And under the parachute, there are bags of packages with extremely high color saturation!

The military is here to deliver supplies with fighter jets!

Those small parachutes cut through the sky, as if they painted a rainbow of hope on the sky.

The fighter jets flew a few laps in the air, and the parachutes of supplies rained down.

In addition to the roar of the plane, there were ecstatic screams from the village.

A small parachute fell into my yard, but my yard was covered with snowdrifts higher than people except where I walked.

One fell off the roof and fell along the roof, just not far from Xiang Luo.Xiang Luo took the parachute off the snow on tiptoe. It was wrapped in a piece of red cloth, and he tore it open to see that it was a pack of compressed biscuits weighing half a catty.

Such a pack is enough for an adult to last for a day.

Although it is lower than the basic calorie requirement, it is not only high in calories but also rich in nutrition compared to what the average villagers eat now!

The plane in the sky circled a few times and flew away after dispersing the supplies, and flew back to scatter again after a while.

There were no fewer than ten small parachutes that landed in Xiang Luo's house alone!There are still a large number of empty houses in this village, and many people don't even have time to pick up their parachutes, but run to "treasure hunting" in those empty yards.

This is the most energetic time in the whole village after winter!Above the entire village, there was also the first laughter under layers of despair.

It turns out that this country has never given up on every citizen.

Zhu Yan and An Wei also came out fully armed to watch the excitement. After watching the excitement, several people were discussing how to pick up the supplies that fell into the snow.

Xiang Luo wanted to tie a rope around his body to be pulled by others and then go to the snow to pick it up. Zhu Yan felt that it was not safe.

I searched the inside and outside of the house, and saw a one-and-a-half-meter-square color steel sheet among the sundries in the next house.Such a steel sheet is very thin and is of little use.Zhu Yan first used pliers and a small hammer to make an arc on both sides of the color steel.Then I found a pair of paddy field boots that I didn’t need, sprinkled water on the soles of the pure rubber boots and pressed it on the steel plate. The low temperature of minus [-] degrees instantly made the two boots stick to the color steel plate. .

Zhu Yan picked up the chair and put it on the wall, climbed up the wall and straddled the wall to place the color steel plate on the snow.Call Xiang Luo back:

"Come up and have a look."

Xiang Luo understood it, and climbed up the wall along the front, and then jumped onto the colored steel plate. The snow on it had been hardened by the cold wind.It's just that it's still a bit dangerous for a young man like Xiang Luo to step on it, but with such a colored steel plate to increase the contact area, it is estimated that there is no danger of subsidence even with multiple adults.

Seeing Xiang Luo stepping on it steadily, Zhu Yan nodded in satisfaction, then turned around and called Anwei to fetch two corn stalks.

Xiang Luoren sits on the color steel sheet, and fixes himself on the color steel sheet with rice field boots hooked on his legs.The two corn stalks are like two ski poles, which can travel a long distance with a single poke on the snow.

It may seem a little silly to look at it this way, but it must be admitted that it is really light.

The material packaging carried by the parachute is highly saturated, which is very eye-catching on the white snow, so it is easy to find.

Supported by two corn stalks, Xiang Luo quickly arrived at the first package. The big package felt a bit heavy, weighing at least five catties. When I opened it, it looked like a compressed biscuit, and I couldn’t tell what material it was made of. Yes, tan, pick it up and smell the fragrance of miscellaneous grains.It should be a rough biscuit made of multigrain flour.

Xiang Luo thought about it carefully, he had seen people eat this in his right eye before.

This has all been taken out, which shows that the official food is really running out.

These are about five catties, not much, but definitely enough for emergencies.

In times of famine, these five catties of grain can also solve a big problem.

Xiang Luo carefully drove this simple "sledge" to the edge of the snow, and lowered it along the edge of the snow, followed by Anwei.

"What is this?" Anwei couldn't recognize it.

"The noodles made of miscellaneous grains should not be delicious, but they should be more nutritious than rice." Xiang Luo rushed to the next one.

In the end, a total of twelve packages were found in the entire yard, including the package of compressed biscuits found at the beginning.There should be scattered ones outside the yard, but Xiang Luo stood on the wall and saw some outside, and went to pick up the unowned ones around the yard to his home.I happened to see Li Yueyue in the yard diagonally opposite, lying on the snow and sliding like swimming to find supplies.Li Yueyue was thin and small, and there was no danger of sinking when crawling on the snow.

Finally put everything together, and several people unpacked it like a blind box.

Most of them are biscuits made of multi-grain noodles. The largest package is five catties, and the smallest is only half a catty.However, the smallest half-jin package contains a palm-sized instruction manual, explaining how to eat it.The recommended way to eat it is to eat it dry with water, or break it up and drink it as a paste, so that you can add a little seasoning yourself.

And this one is ground and baked with six kinds of food that can be used as staple food.Although it is not as nutritious as normal compressed biscuits, it is absolutely no problem in satisfying hunger.

The second is compressed biscuits, which are actually only three packs, and together they can weigh two catties. Every household knows how to eat them, so there is no explanation.

In addition to these, there are three packs that are black when opened, and the three packs together are less than three catties.For less than 30 yuan, each slice is not very big.

However, there is still an instruction manual inside the smallest package. When you open it, the words on the top are slightly larger, explaining the name of the black film.

protein chunks.

I heard about this Xiang Luo from the movie.

The instructions only say that it is a high-purity protein extracted from specific organisms that can be highly absorbed by the human body.Push and eat is to eat one tablet each morning and noon, which is enough to supplement all the protein intake a person needs in a day.However, if resources are scarce, halving the intake can also maintain the most basic life support of people.

The raw materials were not mentioned, but from the two adjectives of easy to absorb and high-purity protein, Xiang Luo basically guessed what it was.

Xiang Luo picked up a piece, broke off a little and stuffed it into his mouth.The taste is a little sticky and a little salty. It's not bad, but it's not delicious either.

Anwei was a little curious: "What can this do?"

"Bugs." Zhu Yan chewed on the protein lumps.

An Wei was startled: "Bug? What kind of bug?"

"Any kind of bug is possible. As long as it reproduces quickly and has low breeding costs." Xiang Luo said.

"Then you can still eat it." Anwei frowned and put the protein block back into the package, not hiding his dislike at all.

Xiang Luo sneered: "I don't know why. This is a good thing!"

Zhu Yan said: "Besides, we also have a lot of delicious bugs, such as silkworm chrysalis, have you ever eaten?"

Silkworm chrysalis is definitely one of the top delicacies in the north, and it is almost impossible for anyone who has eaten it to refuse it.

Anwei swallowed: "That's about the same."

Xiang Luodao: "I once read an article, which was a study on the ideal food for the end of the world. In extremely severe conditions, the most cost-effective things are bugs. For example, earthworms, cockroaches, and even granulation, that is... Maggots are high-quality protein sources that are easy to breed and low in breeding costs. You may feel sick, but after special processing and purification, the acceptance rate is actually very high.”

When Anwei heard this, he shook his head even more: "I still don't plan to eat it."

There is no shortage of meat at home, so there is no need to feel wronged by eating this.

Xiang Luo glanced at him, didn't say anything, and handed Zhu Yan a piece, but Zhu Yan refused to eat, so he took them back to the house and used a vacuum machine to pack each piece of food individually, and then put them together every two catties before using them. Pack again in large vacuum bags.The multigrain block itself has a thin layer of plastic wrap.Compressed biscuits are vacuum packed.

In this way, with two layers of vacuum packaging, basically these foods will no longer be exposed to dangerous air.

Looking at the processing technology of these, the air is isolated in this way, theoretically speaking, as long as there is no air leakage, there is no possibility of deterioration for several years.

"Keep these?" Anwei probed.

"We don't lack food now, so it's impossible to eat this." Xiang Luo put away the big bags that he had sorted out, thinking about where to stuff them.The currently visible space on the surface is basically filled.

"Then give it to those who are short of food." An Wei said.

Since the family has enough food to last for a long time, they don’t need it, and it’s still a burden to store it, why not give it to those who need it more?

In fact, what Anwei said was a little naive.But it also belongs to the thinking of normal people.

After all, in this world, there are no completely kind people, nor are there completely vicious people.All kinds of people will have a kind side.

Xiang Luo glanced at him and said, "Who do you think it should be for?"

"Eh..." An Wei thought about it, "People without food? Orphans?"

"Do you give it to one person or divide it among several people? What if after you finish the distribution, someone comes to your door and asks you, 'I am more pitiful, why don't you give it to me'?" Xiang Luo asked.

Anwei stopped talking.

Xiang Luo continued to ask: "I still have two relatives in the village. They came to me and asked me, 'Why did you give it to outsiders? We are also pitiful, why don't you take care of your own family first?' What should I do? What about the neighbors? Give them once, and later What if I came to reach out to you when there was no food?"

The series of words confused An Wei a bit, and he opened his mouth after a while and muttered: "It's not easy to do good deeds. It's a bit like that sentence... Dou Mien but Mi Qiu."

"That's right!" Zhu Yan said, "Instead of giving it away openly, it's better to secretly throw it in someone's yard. At least there will be no trouble. But right now, every household should be scattered with such supplies, and some unoccupied people are also searched by them." Arrived. With such a score, at least it is enough to last for a month or two."

Maybe this food is not enough to feed everyone, but it is enough to keep people with a strong desire to survive and recover in the next year.

When the weather warms up, there will be time to clear the road.

As long as the road is open, the separation from the official will be gone!

Everything, as long as you persist until it recovers, there is hope!

As soon as New Year's Day passed, time entered the twelfth lunar month.

The temperature seems to be colder than before.

A family of three seldom goes out. There are toilets and sewers at home. Xiang Luo improved the sewers and poured boiling water every day, so there has been no blockage. Even dirty water and excrement don’t have to go out to empty the house. The family doesn’t have to go out at all.

At most, in his spare time every day except playing poker, he would open the door a little and look out.Just let the wind go.

Xiang Luo and Zhu Yan shuffled the cards, and An Wei went to the door to get some air.At this time, he suddenly shouted: "Fuck! Brother Xiang! Look, it's burning over there!"

On fire again?

Xiang Luo was flirting with Zhu Yan while shuffling the cards, when he heard An Wei who was out in the outside room yelling that he was on fire again, he was startled, put down his poker and went out.

"Where is it?" Xiang Luo followed the direction Anwei pointed, and found a family in the village two streets ahead.

Xiang Luo seldom walked around the village, so he could only roughly analyze the location of the fire.

"Do you know who it is?" An Wei asked.

Xiang Luo thought about it carefully: "It may be the Li family, or it may be the Zhao family. The wall is blocking the position under the smoke."

Zhu Yan came over and closed the door: "Don't leave the door open for such a long time, or you will have to shovel it if it is frozen by water vapor again."

Two days ago, the door was not closed tightly due to water vapor condensing and freezing under the door. Xiang Luo, wearing a thick padded jacket, opened the door and worked for half an hour before shoveling the ice away so that the door could be closed tightly.

An Wei still wanted to look outside, Zhu Yan said: "Can you still go to fight the fire?"

The current road has not been shoveled for more than half a month, and it got stuck in the snow when I went out.

However, with the current heavy snow, most of the houses and firewood are covered by heavy snow. At most, when people go to get firewood, they will shovel or even dig a snow tunnel to carry firewood.

At this time, there is no need to worry about the spread of fire.

Anwei also understands this truth. He went back to the house and reported the alarm to the dog on his lap, and looked out the window a little bit concerned.

Xiang Luo had just been blown by the cold wind, poured himself a cup of hot water, and picked up the poker again: "Continue to play? Or Fight the Landlord?"

Zhu Yan propped his chin: "I'm a little tired, let's play seven kings five two three."

The current wind power in the yard has been maintained so it can generate electricity all the time.

A few people can play game consoles, computers and mobile phones, but there will always be times when they get tired of playing.Or play cards directly to have a sense of interaction.And the one who wins can hold his head high in front of the loser all day long.

The happiness of a man is sometimes as simple as that.

The panic caused by the food shortage in the village was alleviated by the relief food distributed by the government with fighter jets.There is not much food, but enough for emergency.

So Xiang Luo didn't worry about the village affairs so much.

However, because of the heavy snow, they have been staying behind closed doors. The relationship between these three people and the family of four with Gouzi is getting closer and closer.

The relationship between Xiang Luo and Zhu Yan has always been not far or close. Lying on the bed at night, it is okay for Xiang Luo to pull his little hands, but if he makes any more intimate moves, Zhu Yan will show obvious resistance .

Xiang Luo is not a person who will force people.But Xiang Luo was a little bit frustrated by being like this all the time.

Zhu Yan filled a basin of hot water in the bathroom, and wiped his body with a wet towel.

Although there is a lot of snow outside now, water resources are infinite.But the family will only take a bath once a month with a foldable tub.And it is a bucket of water to draw lots to decide the priority. After washing it in the rain, I go in and soak for half an hour before coming out.

I usually just wipe it off like this.But it is also very clean and has no peculiar smell.

Zhu Yan washed himself up and went back to the room, only to find that Xiang Luo had already laid down under the blanket and covered him tightly with the quilt.Zhu Yan took a sip of water, and then pulled back the quilt to get into the bed.

And at the moment when the quilt was pulled away.

Zhu Yan was stunned.

Under the quilt, Xiang Luo was wearing clothes.

And this dress was exactly the summer when they were in high school.

This is the one from Xiang Luo back then, Zhu Yan knew it, and there were words he had written as a joke on it.

Looking up again, the two of them happened to meet each other's eyes.

Zhu Yan didn't look at it, Xiang Luo changed his posture and yawned: "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"What the hell!" Zhu Yan frowned, as if he didn't like it now.

Xiang Luo didn't speak, just looked at Zhu Yan and smiled.

Xiang Luo doesn't smile often, but he must admit that his smile is really contagious.

"Crazy." Zhu Yan stopped looking at him, turned off the light and got into bed, Xiang Luo reached out and hugged him.

Zhu Yan struggled twice but failed. Xiang Luo has worked a lot these years, and his strength is not at the same level as Zhu Yan's.He hugged and didn't let go, no matter how much Zhu Yan struggled.

Zhu Yan didn't know what was wrong with him, so he simply ignored him.

Xiang Luo felt that Zhu Yan's body softened, so he let go of his hands a little, and let Zhu Yan find a comfortable position.It took a while for the two of them to just adjust their postures. At this time, Xiang Luo pressed Zhu Yan's ear and asked, "Don't you like it?"

Zhu Yan felt itchy in his ear when Xiang Luo exhaled air, and wanted to raise his hand to touch it, but he touched Xiang Luo's arm pressing on him.

Running his hand along his arm, he felt a shallow scar.

Only a delicate hand like Zhu Yan can touch Xiang Luo's scar. This scar is very shallow, but it is also the source of evil for the entanglement between the two.

The author has something to say:

Back then, Xiang Luo was a well-known academic master.When junior high school was promoted, the headmaster of the city's No. [-] Middle School personally called Xiang Luo to discuss with him about enrolling.

At that time, everyone firmly believed that Xiang Luo was destined to be the proud son of heaven.His name was very famous among his peers in that class, both inside and outside the school.
