After the Earthquake of Rebirth

In addition to eating most of the fresh lake fish that day, the remaining three herrings were eaten one a day for three consecutive days.Afterwards, the government caught fish in Lake of Tears twice, but the ID card purchased before could not be purchased again, so Ning Qiyan and the others had no choice but to stop paying attention.

The people in the mountains have not yet experienced the upsurge of the lake, and the government has begun to lay water pipes leading to the Lake of Tears.

The lines are divided into four, one of which leads directly to the bottom of Ning Qiyan's hill.It is less than 500 meters away from Wang Yang's cave.From now on, Ning Qi said that they and the nearby residents at the top of Cangyun Mountain would no longer have to go downhill to fetch water, saving a lot of energy.

The water pipes and pumps were installed, and finally the soldiers brought up a medium-sized water purifier and installed it at the water outlet, so that there was no need to worry about the waterway being polluted halfway.

Successive excitement filled the mountain, and when everyone didn't pay attention, the scorching temperature slowly dropped.

At noon one day, Ning Qiyan, who woke up to go to the toilet after half asleep, walked out of the cave.The scorching heat in his memory was gone, and Ning Qiyan suddenly realized that the drought and scorching heat were coming to an end, and autumn was here.

In the next few days, many people suddenly found that it was no longer hot outside the cave during the day, and people spread word of mouth, and everyone's life began to slowly change back to being active during the day and sleeping at night.

"It's ripe!" On this day, Ning Xiaowen brought back two watermelons from the small forest, and cut them open under the attention of everyone.

The bright red flesh exudes a sweet breath.

Each of the two watermelons weighed about eight or nine catties, cut a knife in the middle, and divided them into two halves. Each of the four people held half of the watermelon and ate it directly with a spoon.

"It's so cool!" Huzi took a big mouthful, without spitting out the melon seeds, and swallowed them directly into his stomach.

Ning Xiaowen picked out the melon seeds, scooped up a few pieces and put them in Du Dabao's food bowl. Seeing that Huzi and Du Cheng were almost finished eating, he asked them to keep the melons.

Except for the bean sprouts grown in the cave, there are almost no other vegetables, and there are very few green vegetables that can be exchanged for purchase. They can only be supplied to families with special groups such as children and pregnant women.After the watermelon is ripe, melon white is a very good dish whether it is fried or shredded and cold.

After eating the watermelon, Ning Qiyan peeled the white and red of the watermelon left by the four of them, and soaked it in clear water.Ning Xiaowen went into the woods again, searched carefully along the two melon vines, found another ripe watermelon, picked it off, and gave it to Wang Yang and the others.

Because the water station was very close to their cave, there were a lot of people coming to fetch water, Wang Yang and the others also imitated Ning Qiyan and they used a fence to enclose an open space outside the cave.

In the yard, only two girls, Wang Yuanyuan and Liu Jia, were drying clothes, and the four boys were not there.

"Wang Yang and the others went out?" Ning Xiaowen carried the watermelon out of the yard under Wang Yuanyuan's call.

"No, they are all digging caves inside. The weather is not so hot now. Taking advantage of the good weather, they plan to seize the time to expand the cave. Now that the climate is abnormal, it is not impossible to directly transition from summer to winter. When the ground freezes, they want to go back to the cave. Digging will be difficult." Wang Yuanyuan explained, "Brother Xiaowen, are you looking for them? I'll go in and call."

Ning Xiaowen shook his head and held up the watermelon.

"Our watermelon is ripe, I'll send you one to try."

Wang Yuanyuan and Liu Jia waved their hands again and again, saying no.

Nowadays, there are a lot of people at the water station here, and the weather is not too hot. Many people put things they don’t need near the water station. Everyone sees the right one and exchanges it by themselves.There is no need for credit points, food, clothing, etc., as long as both parties agree, they can be exchanged.Fruit is a rare commodity. Even if someone finds wild fruit in the mountains, it will be sour and astringent, but even so, many people are willing to trade it.Not to mention such a big watermelon that is ripe at first glance, even if you can't exchange it for something suitable here, you can get a lot of credit points in exchange for a formal trading street established by the Yamashita government.

Ning Xiaowen didn't argue with the two of them, he waved his hands after putting down the watermelon, and walked back.

They don't lack credit, and besides, the two vines counted as unripe ones, and there were less than ten watermelons in total. They gave one to Wang Yang and the others, and they ate the rest at home. There was no need to take it out to exchange for things, it was not enough. Eye-catching.

Wang Yuanyuan blushed and hurriedly tried to stop Ning Xiaowen. They had been under the care and guidance of Ning Xiaowen and others, so they had the nerve to accept the whole watermelon for no reason.

On the contrary, Liu Jia, who had always been obedient and quiet, took Wang Yuanyuan's arm and shook her head at her.

Although she seldom talked to Ning Xiaowen and the others because of her introverted personality, she could see clearly that since Ning Xiaowen had already been sent down, it was impossible for her to take her back.If you keep evading it, it will seem too much. Instead of rejecting the kindness of others, it is better to remember this affection and try your best to repay their help and care when you have the opportunity.

Since three watermelons were ripe at a time this day, the remaining watermelons have gradually ripened.The two vines produced a total of nine watermelons. For a few days, the four of them had eaten enough.

"Qiyan, Xiaowen, do you have trauma medicine at home?" Seeing that Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen had used more than half of the water in the tank this day, he went down to fetch water with the bucket and asked when he came back.

Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen looked at him at the same time, looked around, confirmed that he was not injured, and then asked: "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Is there a lot? There are people selling wild rabbits at the water station, but they need to exchange them with wound medicine." Putting down the bucket, Hu Zi said.

"Hare?" Ning Qiyan's eyes lit up.

After eating all the canned bacon, Ning Xiaowen kept a close eye on the chickens, ducks and quails at home, so he didn't let Ning Qiyan have a chance to do anything. The eyes of those who want to eat meat will turn green.

Beard grinned and nodded.

"Hare! It's quite fat and can have a lot of meat."

Ning Qiyan stood up and ran into the cave, took out some trauma medicines, put them in his black pocket, and walked towards the water station.

Ning Xiaowen watched Huzi follow behind with bright eyes, smiled helplessly, shook off the water drops on his hands, got up, pulled down the newly installed rolling shutter door at the entrance of the cave and locked it, and then walked down.

Ning Qiyan is indeed sensible and shrewd when it comes to big things, but he is not so good when it comes to small things like living at home and bargaining, not to mention beards. Although these two people will not be slaughtered too hard, they can't hold down the price much.The world is not good now, so many things have to be saved.

He felt that if Du Cheng was serious, no matter how big or small it was, he could solve it at the least cost.But Du Cheng always followed Ning Qiyan, he would do whatever Ning Qiyan decided, not to mention these small things, I am afraid that in Du Cheng's heart, no matter how much wasted, as long as Ning Qiyan was happy.

Ning Xiaowen walked near the water station, and when he found Huzi and Ning Qiyan, the two were picking up some half-dead rabbits in front of them, while the stall owner was sitting across from him, smiling and letting everyone watch.

"Brother, how do you sell this rabbit?" Ning Xiaowen asked directly.

"I only want trauma medicine this time. Yunnan Baiyao is the best, and other spray ointment for hemostatic injuries are also fine."

Ning Xiaowen nodded, took the black bag containing the medicine from Ning Qiyan's hand, and then squatted down to check the rabbits together.After confirming that these half-dead rabbits were all caused by trauma, I picked out the fattest one and started bargaining with the stall owner.

Ning Qiyan shrugged as he looked at the medicine bag that he had directly taken away.After buying fish, he discovered that Ning Xiaowen, who seemed to have no idea, was very shrewd in buying and selling things.Now, except for the items at the redemption point, which are all clearly marked, in other exchanges, they are all asking for sky-high prices to pay back the money, and it is Ning Xiaowen who saves the most money.

Ning Xiaowen's bargaining is not like others who lower the price to the lowest at the beginning, and then bargain with the seller slowly.Instead, ask what you want to change first, and guess the lowest price that the other party can accept from the tone and expression of the stall owner. Nine out of ten times, the transaction will be at the lowest price, and the rest will be because of Ning Xiaowen. He felt that even the lowest price exceeded his expectations, so he simply gave up the exchange.

Same this time.

They happened to have the Yunnan Baiyao spray that the stall owner wanted.And if such a bottle of spray is purchased at the redemption point, the value is about [-] o'clock, that is, [-] catties of rice.

The stall owner knew that they had Yunnan Baiyao in their hands, and planned to exchange two bottles of Yunnan Baiyao for one rabbit.

Ning Xiaowen bumped the rabbit in his hand. The fattest one only weighed about four catties, which was still the weight of the leather and internal organs.

He had cleaned up wild rabbits before, and the heads and feet of the rabbits weighing four catties were removed, leaving at most two catties.That is, eighty catties of rice for two catties of bone-in rabbit meat.The most expensive lake shrimp before was only 12 points a catty, which is nearly four times the price.

I also asked how to exchange it with other medicines. The stall owner naturally wanted to buy Yunnan Baiyao, but if the other party disagreed, he could not force the other party.

Knowing all the prices, Ning Xiaowen began to bargain with the stall owner. It took nearly 10 minutes, turning countless corners, and finally exchanged two bottles of Yunnan Baiyao and two small boxes of hemostatic ointment, including the fattest one. of three rabbits.

The stall owner took the medicine with a wry smile, and after confirming that the other people present did not have enough medicine to replace the rabbits, he put the remaining rabbits into a basket and decided to set up a stall at another location.If he continued to stay here, his rabbit would not be able to exchange for a high price.

Ning Qiyan clicked his tongue twice, again admiring Ning Xiaowen's combat effectiveness.

When the three returned home with the rabbit in their hands, they found that Du Cheng, who had gone out to cut trees, had also returned.

A few days after the shutter door was closed, there were people at home all the time, so Du Cheng didn't take the key to leave. Unexpectedly, when he came back, he found that there was no one in the house, and the door was still locked, so he had to sit in the yard and wait.

The rabbit has been changed back, so the beard no longer stares at it, just wait to eat what is ready-made.So when I saw Du Cheng, I pulled him aside and muttered, but I didn't know what to say.

Ning Qiyan had killed wild animals several times in his previous life, but Ning Xiaowen was more proficient, bleeding and skinning in a few strokes.The three rabbits looked too much, but there was not much meat in the pack, so they didn't keep it, and killed them all at once.

The three complete rabbit skins that had been peeled off were put aside, and Ning Xiaowen continued to pack the rabbits after Ning Qiyan took over the cooking after the rabbits were cleaned up.

Cut off the unnecessary parts, carefully scrape off the residual meat and fat on the skin, and wash the shaved fur repeatedly with clean water, and then hang it at a position slightly inward from the entrance of the cave, avoiding direct sunlight , but also ventilation.

If you want to get the finished product that can be sewn into clothes, you have to go through several processes, and it cannot be done in one go.

Although the three pieces of leather were not big enough to sew a vest out, Ning Xiaowen could guess without thinking carefully that the beard who was hiding aside and muttering to Du Cheng must have moved his mind.

Before Hu Zi went to prison in his hometown in J City, raising river crabs was not as profitable as it is now. Besides breeding, Hu Zi often went to the mountains to hunt and protected animals from being caught, but there were many pheasants and hares.

Before coming to Cangyun Mountain, Huzi had thought about it, but Cangyun Mountain was originally a large-scale scenic spot, and there were very few wild animals, and after moving here, the number of people suddenly increased, and now they can't even see the shadow of wild animals. not seen.
