food crisis [end times]

Xiang Luo drove the people out, and they were not unreasonable people. Xiang Luo left after he had said all that, but before leaving, he also told him that he must come here when a large number of bacteria bags were produced. tell them.

They pointed to these mushrooms and looked into the future.

Seeing their enthusiasm and expiry, in fact, this is equivalent to putting more pressure on Xiang Luo.

Most of them are starting to run out of food in their families.But if they can grow mushrooms, not to mention raising a family, even if they can only maintain a family's food and clothing, they will sharpen their heads and squeeze in desperately!

In this world, anything that can have a bite to eat needs to be fought for!

After everyone has cleaned up, close the door.Xiang Luo then moved all the things he brought back into the house.

An Wei couldn't help complaining to Xiang Luo: "You don't know, the threshold of your house was almost smashed during the time you went out. The questions are still the same, I'm like a repeater. And I don't understand each of them. Yes, they don't treat me as an outsider at all."

Xiang Luo patted An Wei on the shoulder: "You can be content! I went out with Zhu Yan and met a road grab! It took two catties of compressed biscuits to get through the road."

"And what about this? We didn't start a fight."

"It's said to buy the access, so it must be fine." Xiang Luo said.

"You gave away two catties of compressed biscuits without being beaten? These idiots don't know what to buy! Your car is worth a million dollars." An Wei said.

Zhu Yan kicked his leg, but An Wei avoided it: "Why do you expect them to kidnap us and ask you for a ransom?"

"Hey, so, you two won't be in the hands of little thieves. Let's settle the matter of raw materials."

Zhu Yan nodded: "It's solved. Someone broke in. I guess they took those rice bran and other things as rice, and then found out that it was not. Several bags were cut and scattered on the ground. But most of them are good. After a few days One day, I will get it back in one piece.”

Anwei smiled gloatingly, and helped prepare the things. They ate first, and then started making fungus bags after the meal.

Handling raw materials must be absolutely sterile, at least not to allow super mold to invade.It takes several rounds of disinfection alone.

The temporary crafting place is in the bathroom.Although the bathroom is super easy to breed bacteria, it is more suitable to use disinfection products for large-scale disinfection.At least for now, the mushroom packs made here have always been fine.

A few people were busy all afternoon that day until it was completely dark, and then they made the three sacks of raw materials and other additives into a fungus bag, stored them well, and waited for two days to give the mycelium inside enough time to reproduce, and then Start formal cultivation again.

After finishing their work, Xiang Luo and Zhu Yan didn't have such a hard time in winter. After dinner that night, they didn't want to say much, and they went to bed after simple gestures.

Xiang Luo wiped his body, only to feel that his muscles were sore.

Zhu Yan was already lying under the blanket, holding a mobile phone in his hand, and he didn't know what he was looking at.Xiang Luo exercised his muscles and bones, looked back at Zhu Yan, ignored him, leaned over and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at the ghost." Zhu Yan turned over to prevent Xiang Luo from watching.

"What? Why don't you let me see the big beauty?" Xiang Luo said sourly.

"Just look better than you." Zhu Yan didn't care to prod him with one more sentence.

"..." Xiang Luo stretched out his hand and tilted Zhu Yan's head, "Then if you look at me more, I will think I look good."

Zhu Yan laughed angrily, stretched out his hand and pushed twice: "Sleep or not?"

"Isn't it because I'm so tired that I can't sleep for a while?" Xiang Luo got into bed and held Zhu Yan in his arms very skillfully.

Zhu Yan is not short, about the same height as Xiang Luo.But the skeleton is a little smaller than him, and it looks thinner.Holding it in my arms, I feel that there is not much flesh on my body, and it feels hard to the touch.

Xiang Luo moved up along Zhu Yan's waist, and got a slap from Zhu Yan: "Looking for death?"

"Did you eat less recently? You don't have much meat." Xiang Luo smacked his mouth, "You were thin when you were in school. I remember that you can eat quite well, why don't you gain weight?"

Zhu Yan didn't open his mouth, but just overlapped his two long legs, making a small depression in the quilt on his body, and yawned: "Maybe it's the so-called easy-to-thin physique."

Xiang Luo said with a smile: "Then the older girls must have envied you to death."

In the future, it will be uncertain. When food is in short supply, fat people are definitely rare.

Zhu Yan smiled and didn't speak.

Xiang Luo suddenly changed the subject: "You said... when can we get a real wooden barn?"

Zhu Yan was startled, thought for a while and said, "It's useless."

"That's useless, it's good to intimidate people."

"Shocking people, your bird gun is enough. The wooden warehouse is fine. Untrained people touch that. Not to mention the accuracy, if you are not familiar with the operation, you can easily hurt yourself when you are extremely nervous. Isn't it good to live? You must die."

Although Zhu Yan's words are not pleasant, they are completely reasonable.

"Which man doesn't want to have a real guy." Xiang Luo sighed after speaking, and said with something in his words, "But it's true, there is already an unused wooden warehouse at home, and there is no place to get angry. Buy another one. Even more aggrieved."

It was rare for Xiang Luo to drive a car, Zhu Yan was just about to retort, but he felt the ground shaking for a while.

Xiang Luo was stunned, grabbed Zhu Yan, rolled over and rolled out of bed, lying on the ground, feeling the shaking of the ground.

There was another earthquake!

The two were still playing around on the bed when they were interrupted by a tremor.Xiang Luo hugged Zhu Yan tightly and rolled on the ground. Feeling the shock, Xiang Luo couldn't help but comfort Zhu Yan first.

"Don't worry, I have done earthquake-proof treatment for this house."

Xiang Luo prepared quite comprehensively when preparing here, even if there is a huge earthquake, it can give them absolute living space.

Zhu Yan was not worried, but Xiang Luo hugged him too tightly and felt a little uncomfortable: "I'm not afraid, let go first."

Xiang Luo reached out to the bedside table to turn on the light, and watched everything in the room shake.

"Snapped!"

The water glass on the other side of the bed shattered on the ground, and Xiang Luo's cold sweat fell, but the shaking was not particularly violent, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

The vibration lasted for nearly 2 minutes, and there was a strange humming sound in the ears due to the impact.

After the end, the two sat up from the ground, Xiang Luo put the quilt on Zhu Yan, and said, "When I was feeding the livestock, I felt that they were in a panic today. I thought they were hungry, but I didn't expect it to be an earthquake."

Animals with sharper hearing before earthquakes can predict them in advance.It's just that most people don't take it to heart.

What's more, this side is not in the earthquake zone.It stands to reason that we will meet less than twice in 100 years.

"The magnitude of the earthquake is not big." Zhu Yan pushed Xiang Luo to get him up first, "I just don't know how other people in the village are doing."

Just as Zhu Yan was about to get up, Xiang Luo leaned over and kissed Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan was startled, and wanted to say something, but Xiang Luo kissed him again.

A long and delicate kiss was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Brother! Are you awake? Another earthquake."

Xiang Luo raised his head a little annoyed, saw Zhu Yan's gloating smile, stretched out his hand and pulled him up to let Anwei in: "It's okay, I just smashed a water glass, how about the things in that house?"

Except for the things on the surface of the house that are not afraid of the cold, put them in the lower house, and the rest are basically piled up in the Westinghouse.The west room is usually locked when visitors come, and no one can see what is there.

Even if the house was full of briquettes during the big storm, after a month or two of uninterrupted use, the east house is almost burned, and the rest is not afraid even if it is seen, only that it was planned to do it before. Grill leftovers.

In this incident, he also took the lead in asking Westinghouse for supplies.

"It's nothing. I've sorted out two of them. It's not a big earthquake. I just don't know how other people in the village are doing."

Xiang Luo thought for a while: "That's not a big problem. Let's all go back to sleep. I'll go to the village committee to have a look tomorrow morning. It should be fine."

The source of this earthquake was far away from the village, and the magnitude of the source was as high as 7.3. A large number of villages around the epicenter collapsed.But the direct impact here is not very big.

There is no direct impact, but the indirect impact is really not small.

The shadow of the last earthquake was too great for everyone, so this time they felt the shaking of the ground, and most of the people in the village quickly went out of the village to an open place regardless of their care.Many people gathered in the small square of the village committee alone.

Most of them didn't even have time to put on clothes, and some were lucky enough to wear quilts, while some were shirtless and wore shorts, standing in the wind for a long time in the ice and snow and dared not go back to the house.

Waking up early the next morning, Xiang Luo went to the village committee to have a look. Of those who went to the village committee, two or three sneeze, and three or four were not in good condition, with runny noses. of.

At this time, I caught a cold, but there was no doctor to treat it, and some people even couldn't find cold medicine.

Xiang Luo looked around, afraid of being infected, he turned back into the house before even entering the village, locked the door tightly, and posted a note stating that there is no reception today, so as to prevent outsiders from bringing the germs into the house.

After the earthquake, the village ushered in a small flu.At the beginning, not many people caught a cold, but they couldn't hold back the infection.Half the people in the last village have caught a cold.

Fortunately, Xiang Luo's family didn't go out even after closing the door, and they were at the top of the village.

The house was disinfected.Although there are plenty of medical supplies and medicines at home.But having a cold is definitely not a good thing.

People who don’t have medicine go around begging grandpa and grandma to borrow or buy from other people’s homes, and people who are not sick dare not go out for fear of getting sick.For a while, the village was similar to the zombies before, and every household stayed behind closed doors.

The matter of arranging to get the raw materials is naturally put aside first.

It was not until seven days later that the trend of the flu dropped.Fewer people were infected, and the people who caught the cold at first gradually got better.

It's just that during this period, two people turned into zombies with a severe cold and high fever!

Killed a man.

After the family found out, they went to the village, and the village arranged for people to lead the zombies into the yard and trap them with snow. After the zombies were completely frozen, they immediately pretended to go to the entrance of the village and burned the zombies to death in a cage.

A frozen zombie's body melted during the burning process, and even struggled to escape and continue to bite.

Some people at the scene were frightened and fell ill when they returned home.

Xiang Luo only found out about this later, because he was facing a more serious problem right now.

That is, the newly made fungus bags have a probability of being contaminated by other molds as high as 30%!

What is this concept?On average, three out of every ten packs were contaminated.

In fact, this was also faced at the beginning of the research on bacterial packs, when the infection rate was even higher.But all three of them thought they had found the golden ratio and minimized the infection rate. Why didn't they work?

Is there a problem with the raw material?

The three sat around and had a detailed discussion, and felt that the only possibility was that the new raw materials had been slightly polluted in the warehouse.

Otherwise, how could there be such a big problem with the same process and proportion?

At night after the discussion, Xiang Luo fetched a bucket of water to wash his feet, and the two sat opposite each other in chairs, soaking their feet in a bucket.When two pairs of feet are stretched in, the water level increases, and more places can be soaked, and the two of them don't dislike each other, soaking their feet together can save some water.

Xiang Luo is very keen on stepping on Zhu Yan's feet, but Zhu Yan is not willing, the two young men will come and go because of who stepped on the other, and neither will let the other.

At this time, Zhu Yan suddenly said: "I don't think this is just because of raw material pollution."

Xiang Luo actually had the same idea.

The two feet simply hooked his ankles, keeping his two feet within his own range.

"I think so."

The two looked at each other, and at the same time said the answer they guessed.

"system!"

That's right, the same environment, the same process, the same formula, the only difference is that the bacteria packs with low infection rate used the raw materials exchanged from the system!

It is obvious that the quality of the raw materials of the system is better, and from the perspective of the use effect, the antibacterial property is also better!

It's a pity that the raw materials brought back from the warehouse are all used up in one go, otherwise we can get a control group to get the exact data.

However, the influenza caused indirectly by the earthquake gave the two time to discover this.Otherwise, if all these raw materials are taken back and made into fungus packs for the villagers, and there is still such a high pollution rate in the future, wouldn't it be just scolding?

Like it, it's human nature to think of the worst in things.

It's like a person bumped into another person while walking. If the two people knew each other, he would not think it was accidental, but that the other person must have bumped into him on purpose, just to bully her, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. , Turn over all the previous things to prove that the other party is really targeting him.

The same is true for the fungus bag.

If there is a problem with the fungus bag they bought from Xiang Luo, they will definitely feel that Xiang Luo is deliberately lowering the quality so that they can buy more for the sake of bad money.

If such mushroom packs enter the market, it will deal a big blow to Xiang Luo's hard-earned reputation and reputation among the people.

After thinking about this, Xiang Luo saw Zhu Yan smiling.

"What did you think of?" Xiang Luo knew that Zhu Yan had a hard head, so he must have thought of something.

Zhu Yan blinked and said, "You can eat this bowl of rice for a long time."

Xiang Luo was able to figure it out, and immediately understood what Zhu Yan meant.

"You are a strange thief." Xiang Luo retracted his feet, hooked Xiang Luo's feet and lifted them out of the water, Zhu Yan deliberately raised a little splash of water, Xiang Luo ducked, almost couldn't sit still, and quickly pulled Xiang Luo to stabilize.

"Stop making trouble, let's talk about it in detail, and see if I'm right." Xiang Luo hastily subdued and withdrew his feet and stopped teasing him.

Zhu Yan stepped on Xiang Luo's feet with both feet, and immediately felt much better.

"As I said before, this recipe is not a good thing to hold by yourself. It will not be good in the future if you hold it for a long time. So you must make it public. Selling raw materials is also a way. Just find a chance to take out ducks and rabbits in the future. gone."

Xiang Luo nodded: "And then?"

Zhu Yan said: "But now it may be that other molds and bacteria are multiplying faster than in the past, or our raw materials themselves are slightly polluted. The quality of the fungus package made by this is far inferior to the raw materials provided by the system. In this case, the formula will still be announced, and we will continue to use the materials provided by the system to make mushroom packs. In this case, no matter how others do it, a large part of it will be polluted, so most people will return and choose to buy ready-made ones. In this way, you The mushroom packs made will always have sales space, can’t you just keep eating this meal?”

Xiang Luo thought so too.

"It's just that if someone says that I hide my secrets and refuse to pass on all the methods?" Xiang Luo asked again.

Zhu Yan knew that Xiang Luo was asking the question knowingly.

"That's a very small number. Or you directly bring some people to make it together. You use system raw materials, and they use common raw materials. The effect of breeding is different if they are made together with the same method. In addition, An Wei and I have a high degree of education. With the persona of cutting-edge talents, they will believe that their face is black. If someone spreads lies at this time, then the problem is not with you or me."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and it had to be said that the two wanted to go together.

The problem of the bacteria bag was discovered in advance, and I am not afraid of other things when I have time to solve it.

When the number of people with colds in the village became less and less, the villagers became anxious and asked the village chief to remind Xiang Luo.

The first batch of people who bought Xiang Luojia mushroom packs, except for one person with a black face, one who froze the mushrooms to death because the house was too cold, and one family whose mushroom packs were contaminated, but Xiang Luo gave them a mushroom pack in vain , The mushrooms raised by other people are almost mature.

Seeing that the mushrooms have grown out, they are naturally more anxious than each other.

The village chief came over and told Xiang Luo that Xiang Luo was very straightforward and decided to go the next day.

The village found seven tractors and a large truck to go with them. When they left, half of the village gathered around the entrance of the village to deliver them.Xiang Jianguo's wife, Qian Shurou, had never been so eager to smile on her face. She took Xiang Luo's hand and told her to be careful all the way, and to cook something delicious when she came back.

Even a person as mean as Qian Shurou can put on a smile that makes people's scalp tingle, so he can understand how much the villagers expect from this matter.

Xiang Luo was leading the way with his car, but the car was not driving fast.There is still a thin layer of snow on the ground, and traces of vehicles.Such marks are very slippery.Even if it is an off-road vehicle with a good chemical defense effect, it is still cautious at this time for fear of making the slightest mistake.

Zhu Yan was still driving, and Xiang Luo looked at the high snow walls on both sides.Suddenly said: "Do you think we can meet them again this time?"

"Should be able to, the bandits also want to improve their performance at the end of the year."

The New Year is not far away, but most people in the village can't buy a new calendar, and most people have forgotten the time.

It's been a muddle.

"But this time we have a lot of people, so we are not afraid that they will rob us."
