Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

Xia Huoqu recalled the early days of the catastrophe.

He didn't know how to change into a beast shape. When he was pushed to a desperate situation, he would suddenly be able to change into a beast shape one day.

He didn't answer directly, but just rubbed his brother, "It will change when the time comes."

Xia Lunong was a little depressed, and didn't know how to tell the time had come.

The two rested on the sofa for a while, Xia Huoqu pulled Xia Lunong up, "Go take a shower and eat first, and I'll let you get enough sleep when I come back."

"Okay." Xia Lunong sat up, dragged her legs loosely to get the bucket, and stuffed clean clothes into the basket.

When passing by the mirror in the toilet, he walked out, then poked his head back, stood in front of the mirror, stared at himself in the mirror, and raised his hand to touch his small crew cut, "Brother, my hair is long, do I want to shave it off?" Once?"

"What kind of talent is this?" Xia Huoqu glanced at him, "You just like monk heads?"

"Summer is coming, it will be refreshing to shave short."

"It's too short and it's easy to burn the scalp, so it's almost the same."

"Oh." Xia Lunong was a little disappointed.

Xia Huoqu came over and rubbed his hairy head again, "It doesn't look bad any way you shave your head."

Xia Huoqu looked up at his younger brother's face. He had deep eyes, a high nose, a narrow face, and thin lips. He just stood there quietly, and he also had the air of a fairy boy.

No matter where the aesthetics are, his brother can be called good-looking.

He pinched the back of his brother's neck, with a smile in his eyes, "Let's go."

Xia Lunong leaned close to the mirror to see his own appearance, looked left and right for a long time, and felt that it was not ugly, so he followed his brother's footsteps.

The two went to take a shower, and went to the cafeteria to eat with a bucket.

Today's basic set meal is steamed taro, rice porridge with cabbage and stewed tofu with aged pickles.

This meal was better than what they ate before. Xia Lunong ate three big meals outside, and looking at this kind of big pot meal, she has no appetite at all.

He shook his head, then suddenly raised his head and said to his brother, "Brother, shall we all cook at home from now on?"

"Huh?" Xia Huoqu paused for a moment while picking up vegetables, and looked at him, "Aren't you tired of cooking every day?"

"What's the trouble with cooking? If you don't cook, you have to do other work. It's not easy to find some food. We can save some materials by cooking ourselves."

"Don't worry about this, brother can earn it."

Xia Lunong disagreed, "If you can earn money, you can earn it, but you can't just rely on your contribution to this family. Besides, the big pot of rice is too unpalatable. If you have a family and a mouth, who eats the cafeteria all day long. "

Xia Lunong insisted, Xia Huoqu thought for a moment, then nodded, "Try first, if cooking is troublesome, we can continue to eat in the cafeteria."

Xia Lunong promised, "I'm sure I won't bother you."

Xia Huoqu smiled and said nothing.

In the evening, Yan Xiannian had dinner with them, and when Xia Lunong said that she wanted to do it herself, she smiled, "Why don't you add me, and I'll be a partner with you?"

Xia Lunong subconsciously turned her head to look at his brother.

His brother raised his chin slightly, signaling Xia Lunong to make his own decision.

Seeing that his brother didn't object, Xia Lunong said straightforwardly: "No problem, you just need to pay for the food in the past."

Yan Xiannian's eyes were slightly bent, "I see that there are pots and pans at home, and I can start cooking with some firewood in the next two days."

Yan Xiannian touched Xia Huoqu lightly with his elbow, "It happens that there is nothing to do tomorrow, so shall we go chop firewood tomorrow?"

"I'll go too." Xia Lunong said first, "We went to cut firewood last time, and I have already practiced my skills in binding firewood."

Xia Huoqu looked at his brother and nodded.

After eating, Yan Xiannian took the initiative to wash the dishes.

Before the dishes were washed, someone outside called them to tell his brother to go out.

Xia Lunong could only hear talking outside, but couldn't hear what was said clearly.

He wiped the table and went out. The speaker had already left.

His brother said: "The people from the cafeteria just came over and said that the pigs are ready, let us go get the meat."

"Great." Xia Lunong's eyes lit up, "Then shall we go now?"

"Pick baskets and go." Xia Huo channeled, "You stay at home, and I will go with your old brother."

Xia Lunong wanted to follow along to watch the fun, "Anyway, there's nothing to do at night, I'll go together."

Yan Xiannian smiled and said: "Let Xiao Nong go together, I will get some meat later and give some to Liao Cheng."

Xia Lunong nodded quickly.

The three of them carried their burdens to the cafeteria, and more people greeted them along the way than before, but no one chatted with them.

Xia Lunong looked at Yan Xinian, who was walking ahead with a calm face, and guessed that everyone was afraid of the base, who was actually in power, so they were a little cautious when greeting him.

Their home is not far from the cafeteria, and they arrived after a short walk.

The pork has been divided and placed on the chopping board, with clean banana leaves underneath.

The people in the cafeteria explained to them in a soft voice: "We kept the pig's head, pig's lungs, and pig's large intestine, and the rest are here. The casings from the small intestine have been cleaned up, and thirty catties of meat have been chopped."

Yan Xiannian nodded, "Thank you."

"It should be, Captain Yan, you can count it, and we will send it to you?"

"No need, we can pick it up ourselves." Yan Xinian looked around and asked, "Is there any straw? Get it out with a piece of meat about ten catties."

The people in the cafeteria immediately nodded, "Yes, just wait a moment."

As he said that, he turned around to find the straw, and when he came back, he quickly put on a piece of meat about ten catties, and handed it to Yan Xinian.

Yan Xiannian handed it to Xia Lunong, "I'll drop by and take it to Liao Cheng later."

Xia Lunong nodded.

This pig is very big, and the meat alone weighs about two hundred catties.

Yan Xiannian and Xia Huoqu each had a load, and the shoulder poles were bent.

Xia Lunong followed them carrying the meat, and turned to Liao Cheng's house when they reached the fork.

When he arrived at Liao Cheng's house, Liao Cheng was still asleep, opened the door sleepily, saw him, yawned and asked, "Xiao Nong, why are you here?"

"Here to bring you meat." Xia Lunong was afraid that he would refuse, so he added, "Brother asked me to deliver it in the past."

Liao Cheng stopped yawning and waved his hand, "I didn't participate in the hunting, and I didn't make any contribution. How can I accept it? Take it back and help me thank Captain Yan."

Xia Lunong forced it to him, "Brother Xi Nian thinks you have it."

"That's not okay. In fact, if there is no, there is no. This rule cannot be broken. You take it back, and I will go to you someday for a meal."

Liao Cheng's attitude was very firm, Xia Lunong didn't say anything, and finally had no choice but to go back with the meat.

Seeing the meat he brought back, his brother asked in surprise, "Why did you bring it back?"

"Brother Liao Cheng said that he didn't make any contribution during the hunting, and he refused to accept it." Xia Lunong put the meat back on the burden, went into the kitchen to find water to drink, and came out when he was full, "Brother, so much meat, what should we do with it?" ah?"

"Forget it. We'll weigh [-] catties later, and hand over this year's supplies. The rest will be made into bacon, stuffed sausages, and some jerky. The rest will be fried and eaten in the next two weeks."

Xia Lunong's attention was on the first half of his sentence, and she asked with wide eyes, "Do you still need to hand over supplies?"

"Of course. To maintain the operation of the base, there is always a certain amount of supplies. Soldiers who go out to gather and hunt hand in the most supplies. Each person has to hand over [-] catties of meat or [-] catties of grain equivalent to rice a year. Those who farm in the base The materials to be handed over are halved."

"Then why can't you afford it?"

"If you can't afford it, you can work for the base instead."

"Isn't everyone supposed to be on base missions?"

"Yes, that's another part. To maintain the base, everyone has to contribute." Xia Huoqu patted him on the back and pushed him out, "Okay, go and ask your old brother if you want to hand it in together."

Xia Lunong tugged at the door frame, "Aren't I mainly farming in the base? How can I be considered a soldier?"

Xia Huoqu raised his eyes, "Don't want to go out?"

"Think!" Xia Lunong quickly ran away after answering.

He ran to the next door to talk to Yan Xinian.

Yan Xiannian smiled and said: "I forgot about it, let's say it together, and I will choose to go to the management committee later."

Xia Lunong nodded.

Xia Lunong had a scale at home, and began to weigh the meat, and the three simply weighed all the meat.

Excluding the bones, the meat they brought back totaled 210 seven catties, minus the 120 catties to be handed over to the base, there was still [-] seven catties, of which [-] catties had been chopped up and used to make sausages.

Of the remaining 97 catties, 37 catties were used to make bacon, [-] catties were fried to make stewed pork, and the remaining [-] catties were fried and dried, and they would be eaten within half a month.

Xia Lunong looked at the meat and swallowed, "Does this mean that the three of us eat an average of two catties of meat every day?"

What a luxury.

"It doesn't count." Xia Huo channeled, "We have just transformed into a beast. Within three days, each person must eat at least three catties of meat per day."

Xia Lunong did the math and found out, 37 catties is not enough for half a month.

It's not easy being in charge.

There is a lot of meat, and it is troublesome to deal with.

The three of them went to the base to borrow firewood, and lit candles until after twelve o'clock, marinating what should be marinated, what should be fried, and what should be fried.

The strong smell of meat lingered at home. After handling the meat, Xia Lunong couldn't help but feel greedy. In the middle of the night, she made noodles with noodles and cooked noodles with leeks.

The noodles are light yellow, the leeks are green, pour the soup made from the big bones, put a few slices of brown meat, add a small spoonful of spicy oil, and add some balsamic vinegar.

The three of them ate without lifting their heads, and the tips of their noses were all sweating.

After eating a few meals of meat, a meal full of starch gives people a different sense of satisfaction.

Xia Lunong didn't have much appetite, so she also ate two big bowls.

Xia Huoqu and Yan Xiannian even ate three and a half bowls each, dividing up a large pot of noodles.

After eating, Yan Xiannian and Xia Huoqu held down Xia Lunong and quickly washed the dishes.

Xia Lunong stared at their side-by-side backs, and always felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was a bit strange, probably a little closer than friends, but not as strange as lovers.

"What are you thinking?" Xia Huoqu wrung out the rag and came out to wipe the table. As soon as he came out, he saw his younger brother's subtle expression and glanced at him with warning in his eyes.

"It's nothing, I'm going to brush my teeth." Xia Lunong rushed to the kitchen immediately, squeezed toothpaste and water with a toothbrush and went outside to brush her teeth in one go.

When he walked outside the house and began to brush his teeth, he heard his former brother ask, "What's wrong?"

His elder brother replied: "Looking at Xia Lunong's expression, I'm a bit embarrassed."

His old brother laughed lowly, and the voice came out, Xia Lunong felt that his old brother's voice was pretty nice.
