Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

Soothed by the music, Xia Lunong had a good night's sleep that night, and when she woke up the next morning she was refreshed and able to transform back into a human being.

He put on his clothes and yawned and went out to make breakfast. His brother and the others had already got up and picked up the water, and were about to go out.

The first time Xia Lunong saw his brother, she raised her hand and said first: "Brother, I know I was wrong, and I will definitely not get drunk next time."

His brother looked at him for a long time, pointed at him with a warning finger, meaning to pay attention.

Xia Lunong smiled apologetically, stepped forward and pushed his brother's shoulder, "What are we eating this morning? How about eating noodles? Hand-pulled noodles, boiled some lamb bone soup as the soup base, and boiled a small handful while cooking the noodles Green vegetables, and then cut a dozen slices of roasted lamb and spread it on top, and poured handmade soy sauce chili on top..."

Xia Lunong described it vividly in his brother's ear, making his brother greedy.

At the end, his brother patted him on the shoulder helplessly, "Do it."

"Okay, I'll ask Kong Zhi to help me. He is very strong, and he kneads the dough more vigorously hehehe."

Xia Lunong and the others are all orcs, they eat a lot, even though the family has a lot of reserves, they are almost exhausted now.

Xia Lunong scooped out the white noodles from the cupboard, and checked the white rice, eggs and other things next to him.

White rice is the most leftover, and there are only a few eggs. In addition, common seasonings such as oil, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic are almost used up, so they have to be replaced in time.

Xia Lunong thought about the house and found that there were not many things that could be exchanged. It seemed that they had to go out to search in time.

While kneading the dough, Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi talked about it.

Kong Zhi said: "I need to use rice seeds and fish fry in my field, and I need to exchange them for supplies."

"Hey, after such a calculation, there are loopholes everywhere." Xia Lunong lowered his head and calculated, "According to our current income, it is more appropriate to lower our living standard by two levels."

Their sumptuous meals are well-known throughout the base, even Lao Liu, who is the most successful in business, would not dare to eat like this.

Xia Lunong thought about it seriously and found that lowering her living standard was not the best choice.

One or two of them are doing heavy work, like his brother and his former brother, they go to build a hydropower station during the day, and they are busy from morning till night, moving and lifting, even if they don't use the beast shape, it is a lot of consumption all day long.

Kongzhi is better, and the next step is to plow the fields and plant rice, which is also very exhausting.

When saving on food, people do not have enough energy, and what is boiled down is human energy.

Xia Lunong didn't want to see her skinny brother when she just woke up.

Furthermore, food can be saved, but life in this era is so barren, it is even difficult for people to find the fun of life, and if the appetite is gone, life will be much more boring.

Xia Lunong sighed silently, covered the cupboard, and boiled bone soup according to the plan.

The lamb bones were shaved last night, with shredded pork on them.

Xia Lunong chopped the bone into two pieces with a hatchet, washed it a little, put it into the pot and boiled it on high heat, and when it was almost boiled, turn the heat up, and the smell of broth soon wafted out of the pot.

After Kongzhi finished pulling the noodles, Xia Lunong filled the bone broth, and boiled water in another pot. When the water boiled, put the noodles, and when the noodles were almost cooked, put the leeks.

When they are all cooked, take them out and pour the bone broth into a bowl.For a while, light brown soup, light yellow noodles, and emerald green leeks were all placed in the big noodle bowl.

Xia Lunong thought about it, took four more eggs, and continued cooking with the help of the noodle soup in the pot.

After the eggs are boiled, take them out, shell them and cut them in half. Each bowl of noodles is in half. Brown mutton is spread next to the noodles, and a spoonful of soy sauce chili is placed on top.

The results of a busy morning were quickly revealed.

Kong Zhi and Xia Lunong went out with bowls of noodles and vinegar.

Xia Huoqu and Yan Xiannian went to work at the hydropower station early in the morning, and they haven't come back yet after the noodles are ready.

Xia Lunong was about to call for someone, when she walked out of the house, she saw his brother and his old brother walking along the trail.

A few minutes later, the two parties joined forces.

Xia Lunong rolled her eyes and said, "I was going to call you."

Yan Xinian smiled, "Don't shout, we all smelled the fragrance all morning, and when the fragrance stops, we will know that your meal is ready."

Xia Lu raised her thick eyebrows slightly.

Yan Xinian smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "It's true, everyone at the hydropower station was just guessing what was cooked this morning. I guess there must be mutton?"

"Sure, I haven't finished eating the mutton last night."

Yan Xinian smiled, "Then let me guess again, there are also leeks?"

"Have."

"Let me think about it, mutton, leeks, what else? There seems to be pepper?"

"Ah."

The more Yan Xiannian guessed, the hungrier he became. At the end of the guess, he simply walked around on his long legs and entered the living room, "Okay, okay, don't guess, let's have breakfast first—"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the four large noodle bowls on the table, "Hey, this morning is really rich."

Xia Lunong explained: "It's hard to get mutton, so I have to make two meals, don't let the mutton down."

"That's right." Yan Xiannian praised, "It's very fragrant."

Xia Lunong smiled, "You are also tired from working in the hydropower station, so eat better and make up for it."

Yan Xiannian gave him a thumbs up.

Several people sat down to eat noodles.

The noodles this morning were extra strong and smooth, and the few of them ate half a bowl in one go, and the slander in their hearts was slightly relieved.

Xia Lunong asked, "Brother Xi Nian, when will the work of your hydropower station end? Let's go out and collect supplies. The oil and noodles at home are almost empty."

Yan Xianian calculated in his mind, "It will take at least four or five days, maybe five days later, then go out to try your luck and see if you can bring something back."

Xia Lunong nodded, he was ordinary in everything, except that he was very lucky, and he would definitely not go wrong when he went out to try his luck.

Xiahuo channel: "Collect all the nearby places, and now the small mountain is full of sea, and there is nowhere to go. This time we go out to collect and go farther, go northeast, and go to Yacheng by the way. Let's see if we can get something better."

Their base is actually not that big.

Yan Xiannian was too lazy to recruit new people, and the atmosphere of the whole foundation was relatively peaceful. There was no difference between people who could transform into beasts and those who couldn't transform into beasts. The treatment they got from planting in the base and going out to collect materials was similar.

Some people in the base are poorer and some are richer. Generally speaking, they can live well.

This is not necessarily the case for other bases.

Many bases have a strong competitive atmosphere and attract many people.

Xia Huoqu asked: "Then what are we going to bring this time? Shall we drive there?"

"Go by car, the animal shape can't carry much, so it's suitable for exploring nearby."

"That's great!"

After breakfast, Xia Lu smiled brightly, feeling a little excited.

Kong Zhi stayed with him and didn't say anything.

The field rented by Kong Zhi has not been cleared out yet, he still went to the vegetable field with Xia Lunong today.

I don’t know how Xia Lunong’s vegetable field grows. All the vegetables grow very well, especially the tomatoes. Each plant grows like a bush, and it is full of yellow, red, and green tomatoes. tens of.

Xia Lunong took the basket and picked red and yellow tomatoes together with Kong Zhi.

The two baskets were quickly filled, Xia Lunong looked at the half of the unpicked tomatoes, rubbed her itchy face and muttered, "There are too many tomatoes left."

Kong Zhi: "Yes."

Xia Lunong turned to look at him, "Do you want ketchup?"

"Not really."

"Oh." Xia Lunong turned back and continued to mutter, "There is no way to do freeze-drying now. It takes a long time and energy to dry tomatoes into dried tomatoes. It has been raining a lot recently, and if you are not careful, you will be sun-dried. It doesn't work. It can only be made into tomato sauce, my brother and the others don't like tomato sauce, they hate sweet chirping..."

Kong Zhi waited for him to finish, and said, "Send it to Lao Liu or Xiao Tang to exchange for supplies."

Xia Lunong sighed, "That's the only way."

Having said that, Xia Lunong felt that tomatoes would not be popular, and there must be limited exchange items.

There are a lot of tomatoes, and almost every household grows them. How can they exchange supplies for what they have?

When the two of them went to find Lao Liu with tomatoes, Lao Liu's face showed a bit of embarrassment, "It's really not easy to change tomatoes now, it's better to be earlier or later."

Xia Lunong handed him a clean tomato, "Our tomato is different, it's big and sweet, you'll know when you taste it."

Old Liu took it with dignity and took a bite. The moment the abundant tomato juice touched his mouth, his expression changed slightly, showing a little surprise.

Chewing the tomato in his mouth, Lao Liu put the red tomato he took a big bite in front of his eyes, "Is this a seedling from my house? Why is it so delicious? It's fragrant, sweet and sandy, and you can eat it as a fruit." gone."

A smile appeared on Xia Lunong's face, "I don't remember, it was either from you or Brother Tang."

"That's because you are especially good at planting." Old Liu gave him a thumbs up, "How about five catties of tomatoes and one catty of rice?"

Xia Lunong asked: "Can I switch to noodles?"

"It's okay to replace it with noodles, but you need eight catties of tomatoes and one catty of noodles instead."

Xia Lunong made a quick calculation in her heart, and their current tomatoes are only seventy to eighty catties.

So many tomatoes, only ten catties of noodles.

Xia Lunong felt sorry for his own tomatoes, he thought about it, "This is not good, there are too few. We spent so much labor and fertilizer on planting tomatoes. Brother Liu, this is really not good."

"I know." Lao Liu sighed, "Isn't there no way, except for those bachelors in the collection team, there is no one in the base to exchange tomatoes, why don't you think about it, Xiao Nong?"

This is beyond negotiation.

Xia Lunong sighed and nodded, "Thank you Brother Liu, I'll think about it again."
