Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

The weather has been fine recently, and their rice and wheat have been dried in three days.

They harvested the rice and wheat into the granary, and the autumn harvest was over by now.

Xia Lunong couldn't wait to taste the taste of his own wheat. On the day the grain was harvested, he took Kong Zhi to the cafeteria to grind the wheat.

Grinding wheat requires more steps than milling rice.

They brought the wheat to the cafeteria at noon, and they ground all the wheat in the evening.

The freshly ground wheat flour is yellow-gray and smells of fresh wheat.

Yan Xinian walked into the kitchen, "Let's eat noodles tonight"

"Yes!" Xia Lunong raised her head and said expectantly, "Let's eat lasagna tonight!"

"Do you want to get some oily chili to eat this?"

Xia Lunong nodded, "We'll go to pound the chili peppers later."

"I'll do this." Yan Xiannian glanced at the room and asked, "Where's your brother, why didn't you see your brother?"

Xia Lunong looked up at him one more time, and clicked his tongue, "I said, why did you come in to help in the past? It turns out that the drunkard's intention is not to drink."

Yan Xiqing patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be silly, speak quickly."

"My brother went to mow grass for the cow." Xia Lunong said, "I guess he will come back later."

"Where are you going to cut it? Is it safe to be alone?" Yan Xiannian couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you wait for me to go with you?"

Xia Lunong: "It's in the base, if it's not safe, I won't let him go."

Yan Xiannian nodded, turned around and left, "That's fine, I'll pick him up."

Xia Lunong stopped him from behind, "Brother Xi Nian, don't you want to help pound dry chili?"

Yan Xinian waved his hands without looking back, "I'll be back soon."

Xia Lunong shook her head.

Kong Zhi called him from the side, drawing his attention back, "The soup in the pot should be almost done?"

Xia Lunong immediately said: "Then I'll go and have a look."

Kong Zhi is kneading dough, his hands are full of flour, making it inconvenient to work.

Xia Lunong hurried over to see their bone soup today.

The soup has been simmering for almost an afternoon, and it is smooth and white. The whole kitchen is full of the aroma of this soup, and the smell makes people's index fingers move.

Xia Lunong took a deep breath of the aroma, looking forward to tonight's noodle soup even more.

After pulling the noodles, the two pounded the peppers, rubbed the shredded cucumbers, cut the meat into cubes and fried the minced meat.

When Xia Lunong does these things now, there is always a feeling of orderliness, even if it is just a small daily matter, it also reveals an indescribable charm.

Kong Zhi looked at him like this, unable to move his eyes away.

When Xia Huoqu and Yan Xian came back, the whole small courtyard was filled with a strong fragrance.

Yan Xiannian was not hungry at first, but when he smelled this fragrance, his stomach started to growl.

"The craftsmanship of the small farmers is really amazing." Yan Xinian said with emotion, "This taste is like the taste of home."

Xia Huoqu took a look and said, "I'll go back and take a shower first, and I'll eat later."

When they were talking, Xia Lunong heard their voices, and looked out from the kitchen, "Brother, are you back? Dinner is almost ready, and we can eat next time."

Xia Huoqu asked, "Is there any hot water? I'll take a shower first, my body is covered in sweat and dust."

"Yes!" Xia Lunong said, "In the pot behind, you go get your clothes, and I'll bring you bath water."

"I'll wash too." Yan Xiannian probed and asked, "Is the water enough for two people to wash?"

Xia Lunong ran back and took a look at the lid of the pot, then tested the temperature of the water with her fingers, and replied, "It's not very hot, it's a bit reluctant for two people to wash."

Xia Huo channel: "It's okay, it's not too cold, we can deal with it."

Xia Lunong scooped up the water, "You can add some boiling water in the thermos to make do with it, it's barely enough."

Yan Xiannian came to fetch water, felt the temperature of the water, sighed and said, "We should also put finding a water heater on the agenda."

Xia Huoqu answered casually, "The autumn harvest has been completed, just in time for the winter slack. We can look for it when we go out tomorrow."

Xia Lunong was stunned when he heard the news that they were going out tomorrow, "Are you going out tomorrow? What are you going out for?"

Xia Huoqu replied: "The distortion of animals and plants has intensified, and the surrounding area is not safe. Go out for routine inspections."

Xia Lunong just rejected Kong Zhi last night.

Using the excuse that his brother is next door.

Unexpectedly, when he heard that his brother was going out today, he was completely dazed, staring at him with big eyes.

Xia Huoqu looked at him, "Huh?"

"It's nothing." Xia Lunong quickly waved her hands and murmured, "It's nothing."

Xia Huoqu nodded, "Then let's take a shower first."

"Are you going in the morning and coming back in the evening? Then I'll get up early tomorrow to make breakfast." Xia Lunong came back to her senses and said, "It happens that there is a lot of flour at home, so it's very convenient to make a pancake, steam a steamed bun, etc."

"No need." Xia Huo channeled, "We can just get up and eat whatever we want, and you can sleep more. This time we go out in animal form, and we will be back in about two or three days."

Xia Lunong was worried for a moment, "Why don't we go together?"

"The animal shape of the two of us is faster and easier to move." Xia Huo channeled, "We went out for a while and came back. You are at home to take care of the vegetable garden and prepare some food for the cattle by the way. It will be cold soon. You have to prepare in advance."

Xia Lunong agreed.

Xia Huoqu and Yan Xiannian went to take a bath, Xia Lunong estimated their bathing time and started to sip noodles.

He boiled another pot of boiled water, and poured all the wide noodles down when the water started to bubble up.

The firewood under the pot was booming, and the water was quickly boiled again, and the noodles were floating and sinking in it.

After Xia Lunong boiled the noodles, he took them out with a strainer, put them in a noodle bowl with bone broth, then boiled the small green vegetables and fried the crispy poached eggs.

When Xia Huoqu and the others came out of the shower, the noodles had just been made, and the four large bowls were steaming.

Xia Huoqu went to take out the noodles and took a look, only to see the thick white bone broth, yellowish noodles, brown minced meat, burnt yellow fried eggs, and emerald green vegetables neatly stacked on the noodles.

These bowls of noodles are enough to be called delicious.

Xia Lunong greeted, "Hurry up and eat noodles."

After he finished speaking, he scooped a spoonful of oily chili for his bowl of noodles. The dark red oily chili was piled on top of the noodles, and the chili oil slowly seeped out, which greatly increased the appetite.

Xia Lunong said: "Put the pepper yourself."

Several people did their own thing, scooped up the chili peppers and put them on the noodles.

Yan Xiannian mixed and picked up a large chopsticks of noodles immediately.

The noodles were still bouncing slightly under his chopsticks, and the soup wrapped on them flowed down slowly.

Yan Xinian blew lightly, and stuffed the chopstick noodles into his mouth.

Tasting the first bite, his eyes lit up and he let out a sigh of relief. He wanted to find a word to describe it, but he couldn't find a suitable adjective to describe it accurately. In the end, he only sighed, "This The noodles are amazing!"

Xia Lunong's cheeks were bulging, she couldn't speak at all, she could only nod her head in agreement, "Hmm!"

This noodle is so delicious!

Full of wheat flavor.

The wide and thick noodles soak up the soup, are springy and fragrant, and have an excellent taste.

The best thing is that you can still taste the slightly sweetness of the starch, which adds an extra layer to the noodles.

The burnt aroma of the fried eggs, the refreshing green vegetables, the richness of the minced meat, the thick and freshness of the bone broth, and the finishing touch of the oily chili peppers all complement the whole bowl of noodles.

Xia Lunong couldn't help snoring and took a big mouthful.

He used to have a mediocre perception of noodles. After eating the wide noodles tonight, he deeply felt that the pasta noodles were mediocre because of the mediocre craftsmanship of the noodle maker and the lack of flour.

How delicious the noodles are now!

Xia Lunong ate two more mouthfuls, and she almost shed tears from the delicious food.

All the exhaustion from growing wheat in the past few months has been dispelled by this bowl of noodles.

He buried his head in eating hard, ate the whole bowl of noodles in one gulp, and drank a few mouthfuls of soup, feeling a sense of satisfaction both physically and psychologically.

Xia Huoqu turned around and took out a second bowl of noodles, "Don't you want to eat?"

"You guys eat, I'm so full." Xia Lunong couldn't help hiccupping a little, "It's so comfortable!"

After eating the noodles, Yan Xiannian went to wash the dishes, came out and said, "Your brother and I went back to sleep, go to bed early tonight, and get up early tomorrow. We won't come over tomorrow, we will set off in the morning, you two days Take good care of yourself."

"Understood." Xia Lunong sent them out, and asked one more question before locking the door, "Don't you really need to make something for you?"

"No, let's bring some chili sauce and some seasonings, and eat whatever we catch. There are only two of us, and we don't want to bring too much, just make do with it." His brother said, "It's been a hard time, you guys have a good rest Let's go out with you in a few days."

Xia Lunong nodded and warned, "Brother, be careful outside."

Xia Lunong sent his brother and his old brother away, closed the door, turned around and saw Kong Zhi bring out water, "Will you wash first?"

"Yeah." Kong Zhi said, "I just put a stove of firewood in, you watch it."

"Okay." Xia Lunong responded, and walked into the kitchen to look, only to find that the two pots on the stove had boiled water, he wondered, "I'm the only one left without taking a shower, why do I still boil so much water?"

"It's for you, I'll wash it later."

Xia Lunong hadn't recovered from it yet, she stood there and asked stupidly, "Why do you wash it up?"

Kong Zhi raised his head, "What do you think? Should we continue the topic of the previous few days?"

Xia Lunong reacted suddenly, her ears turned red, "My brother and the others are still next door!"

Kong Zhi said: "We can close the window a little bit."

"...Why don't we wait another two days?"

Kong Zhi asked back: "Tomorrow will be tomorrow, how many tomorrows will there be?"

Xia Lunong took a deep breath and planned to discuss it again.

Kong Zhi said: "We did it today, and it won't hinder us from continuing in two days."

Kong Zhi carried water into the bathroom, "You can take this time to recall the provocation you made to me two days ago."

Xia Lunong finally understands what it means to shoot a stone in the foot, "It was just a joke that day."

"Well, you are joking, I take it seriously, there is nothing wrong with it." Kong Zhi pointed at him, "I can finish washing in 10 minutes, you can take advantage of this time to quickly do some mental construction."

It would be fine if he didn't speak, but once he said that Xia Lunong was very nervous, then he really kept thinking about this matter, almost biting his nails.

When they were in Yacheng two days ago, they downloaded a batch of new videos, among them was that movie.

What kind of film is more educational.

Xia Lunong took a look quietly, feeling that there is still a lot of room for manipulation, and it seems that it is not so difficult to really get started.

The problem is, the object he wants to manipulate is Kong Zhi.

Even though he was the passive one lying down, he still felt his abdomen tense at the thought of having sex.

"click".

The bathroom door opened with a soft bang.

Xia Lunong turned her head to look at the bathroom door nervously, the line of her neck was about to freeze.

Kong Zhi wiped his hair, walked over with the faint scent of shower gel, and tried the water temperature, "It's almost time to wash, I'll come over with a bucket and scoop water for you."

"No, no, I'll do it myself!" Xia Lunong jumped up nervously, and took the bucket in his hand, "I can do it myself."

As he said that, he reached out to grab the bucket in Kong Zhi's hand.

Kong Zhi embraced his shoulders, pinched his neck and leaned over to kiss him, with a hoarse voice, "Go get the clothes."

Xia Lunong was so teased by him that it felt like a feather was twitching in her heart, her body reacted almost immediately, and she gasped and asked, "Has it started yet?"

"Guess?" Kong Zhi squeezed his neck, and smiled inexplicably, "It's okay not to get the clothes, I'll draw the curtains."

Xia Lu rushed into the room as if her butt was on fire, opened the closet to get clothes.

Kong Zhi smiled again, scooped up water and helped him carry him into the bathroom.

Then there is the waiting time.

The sound of water in the bathroom kept ringing, splashing, like a sonata.

In addition to the sound of water, there were also various subtle sounds, Kong Zhi carefully discerned them with his ears, and patted his thighs with his hands, beating the time lightly.

Ten minutes passed.

Xia Lunong opened the door of the bathroom, and the water vapor and the faint fragrance of the shower milk gushed out together.

This smell originally had the same origin as the smell on Kong Zhi's body, but when Kong Zhi smelled it, it was a little more subtle and moving.

Xia Lunong came out of the bathroom.

He was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans.

The white T-shirt made him look like a small tree.

The fit of the jeans is particularly good, showing that his legs are long and straight, and his bare legs are 1.2 meters long.

Kong Zhi looked at him like this, his eyes suddenly became dark.

Kong Zhi walked over and praised in a low voice, "It's very beautiful."

Xia Lunong smiled nervously. He had just come out of the shower, his hair was wet and black, his lips were slightly red, very fresh and delicious.

Kong Zhiqin gently pinched the back of his neck, bowed his head and kissed him.

It's a tentative kiss.

Charlon accepted it well.

The two stood at the door of the bathroom and kissed a wet kiss.

Xia Lunong was enveloped by his breath, and was a bit out of breath.

After a kiss, he held her waist and panted lightly.

The night is very long.

It didn't end until dawn broke in the sky.

Xia Lunong was very tired, she didn't want to move a finger, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, but at the same time, she hated the humidity in the bed.

His face was wrinkled, his eyes were closed tightly, the hair on his forehead was soaked with sweat, his face was flushed, and his lips were also red, which was clearly contrasted by his white jade-like complexion.

Kong Zhi looked at him, his heart softened, he kissed him, went to the bathroom and twisted the veil to wipe him off, then carried him back to his room, stuffed him under the quilt, and said in a low voice: "Go to sleep quickly." .”

Xia Lunong grunted dissatisfiedly from his throat, but he was so sleepy and tired, he didn't know what he was talking about, so he fell asleep very quickly.

There was a faint sound of rooster crowing in the distance of the base.

There was a slight movement from the house next door, it was the sound of Yan Xiannian and the others getting up.

Xia Lunong didn't know about this, he was wrapped in his dry quilt, freed from the intense feeling, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

Kong Zhi simply tidied up his messy bed, went to his room, lay on the bed beside him, hugged him and fell asleep.

This day Xia Lunong slept until two o'clock in the afternoon and didn't get up. When he got up, his back was sore.

He limped up to eat lunch, resolutely refusing Kong Zhi's support, let alone being hugged by him.

Young Master Xia is physically and mentally strong, so he doesn't need to be embraced by the culprit.

After finally finishing the porridge, Xia Lunong let go of the bowl and let Kong Zhi clean it up and wash it. His eyes swept across the house, and suddenly he felt something was wrong, "Did you take the sheets in your room to wash?"

"Well. It's hanging on the roof."

Xia Lu's thick face was a little green, "Isn't that as ostentatious as a flag?"

"Not at all. Besides, it's normal to wash the sheets and quilts in autumn. Who can think wrong?" Kong Zhi came over and kissed him again, "Go back to sleep for a while?"

"No, I'll have insomnia at night if I continue to sleep." Xia Lunong moved to the sofa and lay down, "I'll lie on the sofa and play with my phone."

"Okay. You play at home, and I will go to the field to pull weeds."

Speaking of business, Xia Lunong asked: "How are the vegetables growing in the field?"

"The tomatoes are basically dead, and the eggplants and peppers are almost old. They probably won't bear fruit anymore. We have to pull it out early and see what we can plant again."

Xia Lunong lay on the sofa and tucked a pillow into the back of her neck, "We will be planting autumn vegetables next, what kind of cabbage, Chinese cabbage mustard... first go to Brother Liu to see what kind of seeds we can get. "

"I'm going to level the land first when I have time." Kong Zhi asked, "The wheat is harvested, and the field is empty now. Do you want to plow it out and plant something else?"

Xia Lunong said: "I originally said to plant pasture, but now I can't find pasture seeds, so I will make another plan."

He thought for a while, "The wheat is growing very well this time, and almost all the nutrients in the soil have been absorbed. I guess I need to plant some soybeans or something to fertilize the field."

Kong Zhi said, "It's all up to you, then you should take a good rest at home, I'm going out. Do you have anything to eat? I'll stop by and change it when I get back."

Charlon really has it.

He thought for a while and said, "I want to eat turtle jelly."

In this day and age, tortoise jelly is definitely not available.

Kong Zhi said: "I'll go to the market to see if there is jelly, if not, I'll bring you jelly or canned food."

"Okay." Xia Lunong snapped her fingers, "I still want to eat fried things like sesame seed cakes, fried chicken, etc. You can bring some when you come back?"

"I'll eat this after you recover." Kong Zhi changed the subject under his stare, "When you recover, I'll take you out to catch crayfish."

Xia Lunong had long wanted to eat crayfish, but she couldn't find it.

There might have been in the lotus field last time, but they encountered a giant snake and were seriously injured. They almost lost their souls, and the crayfish had already been thrown out of the sky by him.

Xia Lunong's eyes lit up, "Do you know where there are crayfish?"

"En." Kong Zhi said, "I went to explore the road before, and it is very safe there, there should be no snakes."

"that would be great!"

Kong Zhi said: "In two days, wait for brother Huo Qu and the others to report when they come back. Just the two of us will go out, and I will carry you on my back in the shape of a beast."

"Talk what you say!"

"I will take you wherever you want to go." Kong Zhi glanced at his back, "I always keep my word."

Sensing his gaze, Xia Lunong suddenly remembered what was said at the banquet a few days ago, and coughed lightly, "Some words don't need to be taken too seriously."

"It's hard to chase after a gentleman's words." Kong Zhi raised his chin slightly, implying something, "Especially those important things, how can they be ignored?"

The next day, Xia Lunong recovered and went to the field with Kong Zhi with a basket on his back refreshed.

Vegetable crops are growing well, but what grows better than the crops are the lush weeds inside.

Xia Lunong can't accurately distinguish between crops and weeds with his abilities to achieve precise strikes, so he can only pull weeds manually.

Kong Zhi had already pulled out part of it yesterday, and today he only needs to pull out another part.

Kong Zhi asked him to sit under the shade, "You rest for a while, I'll pull the weeds."

"No, pulling weeds is not tiring."

Kong Zhi looked at him, no longer persuading him.

Xia Lunong squatted and pulled the weeds for a while, feeling backache and pain, just wanted to sit down on the ground.

He thumped his lower back, "I knew we should have brought a small bench over here and weeded while sitting."

"Go and sit on the ridge for a while."

The soil in the vegetable field is very wet. If you sit directly on the soil, the fabric on the butt will get wet soon.

They generally do not sit in the fields unless absolutely necessary.

Xia Lunong turned her head and glanced at the field ridge.

They planted soybeans on the ridges of the fields, and now the pods have turned from green to yellow, swaying in the wind in the autumn sun, and they are almost ready to be harvested.

Kong Zhi took off his coat, stretched out his hand to pull him up and handed it to him, "Go, take a rest."

Xia Lunong was pushed forward by his shoulders, "It actually feels okay."

"Then sit for a while and look at the mountains and fields."

Xia Lunong couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, and she really turned her head to look at the mountain.

The mountains at their base are man-made mountains, and the mountains in all directions are full of bamboo forests.

At this time, the bamboo forest is still green and tall, and has not been affected by the autumn wind.

Halfway down the mountain are terraced fields, most of which are private fields.

Xia Lunong's family is considered to be the group with the best life in the base. Compared with his family, the life of most of the people in the base is still relatively difficult.

Therefore, these days in autumn and winter will never be empty. Everyone will come out to grow vegetables and radishes for winter and spring.

Most of the land at the foot of the mountain is the public land in the base.

Now it is considered slack, not many people are working in the fields, but the fields are not empty.

Many people drove out their own chickens and ducks and put them in the public fields, pecking grass and eating insects, and also pecking at the grain left over after harvesting.

There are many people in the base, and they are very well-informed, and they are not afraid of losing.

These chickens and ducks are left in the field for a day and then caged back at night, so they basically don’t need to be fed, which can save a lot of food.

Looking over now, Xia Lunong can see many roosters and hens walking in the fields, and ducks are frolicking in the water in groups, which looks very idyllic.

Xia Lunong looked around and suddenly saw a herd of calves.

He turned his head and touched Kong Zhi, "Kong Zhi, look over there, is it our cow?"

Kong Zhi looked up, "Yes, I saw He Shuhui."

He Shuhui is a boy who helps their family herd cattle.

Xia Lunong said: "I didn't expect him to drive the cattle out today. Let's pull the weeds first, and we will take the grass over there to have a look."

"The fields are basically harvested now, and it's easier to drive the cattle out to graze than to mow the grass and go back." Kong Zhi said, "I haven't seen the cattle for a few days, we'll go and ask later."
