After the Earthquake of Rebirth

"This pig is five or six months old!" Hu Zi helped Du Cheng pour the prepared pig food into the pig trough, and said while watching the three and a half-sized piglets eat happily.

"Almost." Du Cheng nodded.

Hu Zi clicked his tongue twice, turned his head and shouted at Ning Xiaowen and Ning Qiyan who were busy cooking in the room with the door open: "Make more pork! Fat! Big!"

Although I only ate a few rabbits a few days ago, I have been short of meat and oil for three consecutive months. Only large pieces of pork with fat can be enjoyable!

"Don't worry! Qiyan made half a pot of braised pork, enough for you to eat!" Ning Xiaowen shouted from the room.

Hu Zi was satisfied, and together with Du Cheng, he cleaned up several other livestock nests, drained the water, and fed the feed.When everything was ready, the two climbed up to the roof again.

"You guys are really capable, you can feed this thing." He stretched out his hand to grab a river crab, turned his beard over and took a closer look.

Du Cheng also grabbed one, "How long will it take to eat?"

Huzi shook his head, "It will take two months anyway. This batch of crabs is a bit small. After a while, you can find me all the ingredients and so on, and I will make it again. And don't just think about eating, unless this batch You don't plan to raise it after it's over, otherwise you have to pick out some good crab seedlings."

Du Cheng threw the crab into the pool and clapped his hands, "Leave it to you. I don't understand some things, so you can keep it." After all, Hu Zi had experience before, so he knew better than him.

"No problem, leave it to me! Although I haven't raised it for more than ten years, it's the same thing if I keep it!" Hu Zile took over. Before he went to prison, he relied on this for a living.

In the room, Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen have been busy cooking, Ning Qiyan is the chef, and Ning Xiaowen is helping him.

The dishes to be prepared can be picked directly from the field and washed, and the other ingredients can be picked from the freezer.

After taking things a few times, Ning Xiaowen took a rough look at the stock in the freezer, and couldn't help but be speechless.

"Let me tell you what you two thought at the beginning. You can save so many things. If there is no earthquake, how long will you have to eat! It's so good to eat and buy now, and it's still fresh!"

Hearing Ning Xiaowen's words, Ning Qiyan paused with the spatula in his hand. Before he could figure out how to explain it, Ning Xiaowen muttered again: "But the purchase is good. Fortunately, you bought so many, why don't you think about it now?" You don't even have to eat."

Ning Xiaowen actually sighed like that, and didn't want to know the reason for Ning Qiyan's stock, as long as he had something to eat, he didn't care!

Ning Qiyan: "..."

Come on, he'd better keep cooking.

It is said to be a big meal, but there are only four people. If you cook too much, you can’t eat it. If you throw it away, you will have to eat leftovers.So in addition to the braised pork, Ning Qiyan made grilled lamb chops and boiled shrimp, then shredded cabbage and cold cucumber, served with rice and seaweed soup, compared to before, it was indeed a luxurious meal.

After Huzi and Du Cheng took a shower together, they came out just in time for Ning Qiyan to take out the lamb chops from the oven.

Sitting down, looking at the food on the table, the beard grinned.

"Qiyan, you Huzi brother took Xiaowen brother to ask for support!"

Ning Qiyan almost spit out the soup he just drank.

Ning Xiaowen pushed his beard, "You can't stop your mouth if you eat something!"

Beard faced Du Cheng's cold eyes, hey hey twice, threw off his arms and started to eat, a big mouthful of fragrant, fat and tender braised pork in his mouth, if it wasn't for his face, Huzi wanted to enjoy it and hummed twice.

After a meal, it was dark early.Lights were lit in the yard, and the four of them sat directly on the concrete floor under the eaves, one holding half a frozen watermelon and eating it with a spoon.

"I think you have enough things here. Shall we go back to the city when the weather gets cold? Or just stay in the mountains?" Hu Zi asked while eating watermelon.

Ning Qiyan spat out the watermelon seeds and asked, "What do you think?"

Ning Xiaowen frowned, "Why don't we just stay in the mountains, although the daily points can be exchanged for relief food, but this year's harvest is gone, so how long the government's food reserves can last is really uncertain. It's hard to say what will happen next year. Didn't Qiyan say that if we continue to dig into the cave, we can have a platform. Let's dig there before the weather gets cold and make the platform regular. We will plant some grain next spring, even if the summer is still like this year. It’s so hot, with the top of the mountain in front of us, no sun exposure below, watering frequently, there will always be a harvest. And this time you went hunting in the mountains and the harvest is good, we can go in a few more times, anyway, there is room for enlightenment now, Even if it is made into air-dried meat, there is still a place to store it, so save more.”

Ning Qiyan nodded, he also prefers to stay in the mountains, the only place where he can grow land is as big as the yard, and it would be enough to grow some vegetables and fruits, but if he wants to grow food, he won't be able to harvest much at all.If the cave is opened, the platform will be much larger than the space, and it can also avoid the scorching sun, which is indeed suitable for growing food.

"Brother Xiaowen is right. Food is the key. The platform area is not small. Even if we are not short of food, there is no reason to sit and eat. God knows when the world will return to the past. When the food crisis occurs later, as long as there is food in hand, Anything can be exchanged, there is no need to go to the city to dig through the ruins to collect it. And there are still a lot of prey in the mountains, not to mention being hunted by people. If the winter is as extremely cold as the notice from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it is estimated that more than half of them will be killed after one winter passes. All the animals are going to freeze to death, so I don’t save much now, I’m afraid it will be hard to find in the future. Besides, the mountain is so big, I can definitely collect a lot of mountain goods when hunting, which is also an income.” Ning Qiyan said.

Du Cheng and Huzi have no objection, they don't care whether they go back to the city or stay, they collect supplies when they go back to the city, and hunt and plant land to collect mountain products when they stay in the mountains.

Seeing that the opinions were unified, Ning Qiyan clapped his hands, "Then we will mainly dig caves when we go back. The sooner we dig them, the sooner we clean them up. For hunting or something, let's wait until autumn when everyone returns to the city with the government. There are few people on the mountain. , and at that time, the prey was fat and the fur was good, and they could harvest mountain goods."

The environment in the space was much better than the outside world, and the four of them talked for a while before going back to sleep.The kang is so big that it is more than enough for four big men to sleep side by side.

After a good night's sleep, the four of them were in high spirits the next day.

Huzi discovered yesterday that there was a barbecue grill and soft charcoal in the storage room, and he proposed to have a barbecue today when he ate in the morning.The others have no objection, they have all come out anyway, and it's not a day and a half away.So after breakfast, Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen took out what they needed from the freezer to defrost, and then they went to the field to pick all the ripe watermelons, leaving two to eat later, and stuffing them in the refrigerator Two, the rest are cut and squeezed, and put into empty drink bottles, so that it doesn't take up space in the refrigerator.Or frozen into watermelon ice is also good.

Hu Zi took Du Cheng to start from the chicken coop, and repair all the livestock coops and fences.Du Cheng and Ning Qiyan were inexperienced when they first did it, and they relied entirely on Du Niang's photos.But Hu Zi had experience and pointed out what was wrong, and the two of them repaired it, and it was all done in half a day.

After the watermelons were processed and the fences and shacks were repaired, Ning Qiyan began to assign work.He and Ning Xiaowen are in charge of cutting the meat, while Du Cheng and Hu Zi are in charge of stringing.Although there are Japanese and Korean barbecues everywhere in the past few years, except for Ning Qiyan and his colleagues who sometimes go out to eat among the four of them, Ning Xiaowen is reluctant to spend money on those, not to mention Du Cheng and Hu Zi. Well, there is no barbecue in the prison. As for them before they went to prison, that way of eating was not popular at that time.So all four are supporters of iron stick barbecue.

Lamb skewers, beef skewers, lamb chops, chicken wings, chicken necks, crispy bones, leeks, golden needles...

On the barbecue grill, the charcoal was burning, and the four of them did not leave the space, directly eating and grilling on the side of the vegetable field in the yard.

Ning Qiyan felt that although the environment was not as good as that time in the cherry blossom forest in Longshan Park, the four of them talking and laughing were far more enjoyable than the picnic with only him and Du Cheng at that time.

After eating and drinking enough, the four of them left the space. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, and they drove back to Cangyun Mountain. When they arrived at the cave, the sky had already begun to darken.

Yang Yu has already woken up, but his face is still a little pale.After Yang Yu woke up and confirmed that there was nothing serious, Wang Yang and the others carried him back to their cave at night.During the day, the cave has been cleared out, except for the mosquito scent that was lit to cover up the smell at that time, and the traces of the fight that night can no longer be seen.

When Ning Qiyan and the others came to see, Liu Jia was feeding Yang Yu.I ate millet porridge and rabbit liver and egg soup.This is what Ke Chengwei took Liu Jia down the mountain to find the senior sister he had contacted before.Yang Yu's coma at the time was not entirely due to the impact on the head, but more due to excessive blood loss.The rabbit liver was obtained from hunting before, the millet was exchanged for points, and the eggs were from Ning Qiyan's cave.Originally, Wang Yang and the others didn't want to take the things from Ning Qiyan's family, but they didn't exchange eggs at all, and now they couldn't find anything else that could replenish Yang Yu's body, so they had the cheek to use Ning Qiyan's family's. egg.

Although Ning Qiyan said before that they can eat and use anything in the cave, Wang Yang's face was still red when he mentioned the eggs.

Ning Qiyan shook his head and didn't say much. Seeing that they were all doing well, he went home, found half a bag of millet, a pack of jujubes and longan, plus the quail eggs and Let Du Cheng deliver the eggs to Wang Yang and the others.

After staying in the space for one night, and then sleeping in a cave, it is obvious that from a small well-off to abject poverty, the beard muttered, "It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal."

Ning Xiaowen suppressed him with a pillow.
