Doomsday foresight

A group of people went to the meeting place. Jinxi saw it when he entered the village before. Now he walked in and saw that it was larger than expected, and there were two spaces in front and back. In front was a big red house, which looked two stories high , with a pointed sloping tile roof on top.Walking in, there is a spacious big room. The internal structure of the house is somewhat similar to the church in the past. The first floor is the meeting place of the village, and the second floor is the library.

However, the entertainment gathering in the village is not here, but at the back, where there is also a big house, which is bigger than the front, and the foundation is only built with stones around it. There are brick and wooden piers on the top, and there are dozens of stone piers in a circle. , There are two floors of windows in the middle of the stone pier.The roof is made of steel bars, which looks a bit crude, but it makes the space very large. There is a small boiler in the red building in front, and there is heating in the room, but the big shed in the back still uses the old method for heating. Piers are actually fireplaces one by one, and the whole big house is very bright when lit.

Today the village is just gathering for dinner, so they are not in the front. Jinxi and the others went to the big house at the back. A pot stove was connected to the stone pier on the north side of the big house. There is a temporary barbecue grill in the middle, and the barbecue has already started with good craftsmanship. Although there is some smoke from the barbecue, there are windows on both sides of the big house, and you can't feel anything when you open a few.

The villagers made very crude tables and benches out of wood, and placed them in front of the fireplace on the east and west sides. As soon as Jinxi and the others came in, they were dragged to an empty table in the middle by several young people.

"How about it? This house is well built." Ye Qiu was a little proud. He took the lead in designing the front and back houses. Needless to say, there is no technical content in the front, but there are many benefits in the back. Such a big It allows the whole village to have dinner together without being crowded, and there is even a large open space in the middle for the young people in the village to play around, and the ceiling of this house is high, and the windows can be opened and closed by remote control. It is stuffy, and so many fireplaces ensure that no matter how cold it is outside, the indoor temperature is sufficient.In the end, although the roof looked flimsy, it could guarantee safety and not collapse under the pressure of snow.Of course, if this house was placed before the end of the world, it would be at the same level as the vegetable market, but at this time, it would be very troublesome to build such a house.

Jin Xi nodded, "It's great, but where did you get so many windows, I think it's double-layer tempered glass."

Ye Qiu chuckled, "Anyway, so many buildings in the city are unoccupied, so there are naturally a lot of windows."

Jin Xi's eyes widened.

"Don't be surprised, no matter what we do now, many bases do this, and there are special people to search for things that can be used in the city. We went to several counties and cities, and many things were taken away. We just picked some leftovers, but luckily we found some usable cement in the warehouse of a cement factory, otherwise our walls and houses would be covered with yellow mud."

As soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, a group of young men came over to say hello to everyone, and Ye Ke carried a bag.

"What?" Zhang Cheng separated from his wife, came over, and looked at what Ye Ke was carrying.

"Hey, look." Ye Ke opened the bag a little mysteriously.

Everyone was amused when they saw it, "Where did you get it? You didn't steal it from the shed, did you?" Ye Cheng stared.

"What are you talking about, those in our village keep cubs." Ye Ke said dissatisfiedly, "I've stopped stealing things a long time ago."

Everyone laughed, and Ye Qiu asked seriously, "Where did it come from?" What Ye Ke brought was a whole sheep. Cows and sheep are very important livestock. It is very mature and does not need to be domesticated like moose.Therefore, the management of cattle and sheep in the village is very strict. All the cattle and sheep exchanged and captured are managed in a unified manner and are not distributed to individuals. Because the group is still small, for the sake of future expansion and reproduction, even the extra rams cannot be arbitrarily slaughter.

So Ye Ke brought the whole sheep, everyone was very surprised.

"Hehe, don't you know, I bought this from the northern base." Ye Ke raised his brows as he said, "I changed it when the temperature just dropped. Their cattle and sheep are all exchanged with coal. They themselves There is not much breeding, and there is still a lack of feed. In exchange for cattle and sheep, they will be killed and frozen when the weather is cold. Save them for winter.

"What did you replace it with?" Ye Cheng asked.

"Moose." What Ye Ke is most proud of is "one moose for four sheep."

"It's not expensive." Everyone thought, "How many sheep do they have?"

"There should be some more. There are a few tigers in the woods over there. They dare not go deep. An Jin counts them well, so it's easier to change them."

Jinxi did some calculations. Now the weight of sheep has increased, but the weight of moose is heavier. Their exchange is equivalent to two catties of moose for one catty of sheep. This is a disadvantage for them, but in fact moose is easier to catch now. Moose are not slow to reproduce. They have been hunting for a period of time and have caught moose living areas. As long as they run to catch them, they will form a group, especially in the area north of Shuiyudian, which is almost the territory of moose. It is not difficult for them to get moose. arrive.

The village has raised moose and trained them to pull carts. The hunting team goes to catch moose every once in a while. When the harvest is big, individuals can get a whole moose. Relatively speaking, sheep are rare.So they are not bad at all.

"Come on, let's go on vacation another day, let's hunt some moose in the woods to exchange for sheep. Is there any beef?" Ye Cheng asked.

"Yes." Ye Ke said with certainty.

"Brother Jiang, are you going?" Jin Qi and Jinlin looked at Jiang Chen, they were in Jiang Chen's team, and they would be together if they were resting.

Jiang Chen nodded, "Go." The vacation has just been implemented for more than two months, because the village has a good harvest of food and the survival of the village is guaranteed, so there is a vacation. Of course, the vacation is also related to contributions, and the regulations also It's very cumbersome. Jiang Chen had a few days off before because he didn't fix his work, so he has time at any time. Jin Xi didn't know about this policy before, and this vacation has nothing to do with him.

The people in the hunting team do private work when they are on vacation. Most of them go to the mountains in partnership to do a vote, so that the things they get are all their own, and the things they usually distribute should not be exchanged for contribution points, but other things can be exchanged. In fact, most people work hard, just like saving enough points to buy a dog sled, that's personal.It can be compared with Ferrari in the past.

A group of people chatted and laughed, and Ye Ke found Sai Yin. He was already familiar with Sai Yin on the road, and the two became friends because of their similar feelings.

An older ram was also killed in the village, but the sheep were cut into small pieces and then threaded on stainless steel skewers and roasted.

There was a banquet in the village at six o'clock. There were two rows of rectangular tables, and there was no table for 12 people. The village was all seated, and there were still many empty tables near the door.

People in the village have affordable meals. The dishes are stewed in big pots, such as sauerkraut stewed meat, meat stewed vermicelli, pork ribs and potatoes, big bones, and the staple food is big steamed buns.The wheat they grow, and the miscellaneous steamed buns made of corn flour or buckwheat flour, have left enough seeds this year, and next year there will be enough wheat for the whole village to eat every day, and there may be surplus that can be used to exchange supplies.

After eating the big pot of vegetables and steamed buns, everyone was full for six or seven minutes, and then it started to be lively, and the barbecue grills started to grill things. In addition to the large number of meat skewers provided by the village, there were also people like Ye Ke who took their own things. After coming over to bake, the boys also started to play in the open space, some sang and some danced, after a while they heard applause, Jinxi saw Baiyin wrestling with Jinhui.

"Hehe, Jin Hui's brothers-in-law are not ordinary. It seems that they want to test him." Jiang Chen turned his head and looked at the center of the field, and said to Jin Xi.

"It's just a joke. Jinhui and Saren haven't found anyone after being separated for so long. Their family is very satisfied."

"Satisfaction is satisfaction, the test is not bad at all." Jiang Chen continued.

"By the way, why didn't you see my brother?" Jinxi suddenly thought of Dabao, since he knew that Dabao was back to normal, Jinxi started calling Dabao brother.

"It's with Liu Ye." Jiang Chen said, pointing to the one diagonally opposite, the two of them were sitting with Grandma and Second Aunt, and Liu Ye was breaking bones for Dabao.Seeing the smiling faces of the two, Jin Xi felt relieved for some reason.

"Don't worry this time." Jiang Chen said what was on Jinxi's mind at once.

"Well, I didn't expect it either. There will be such a big surprise when I come back this time."

"I want to find time to confess to Grandpa." Jiang Chen said suddenly.

Jin Xi nodded, "Although Grandpa didn't show it, I think he sensed something." After finishing speaking, Jiang Chen took a look, "It's all your fault and I wasn't prepared."

Jiang Chen smiled.

The competition between Jinhui and Baiyin was over, and they went down with their arms around their shoulders.

Ye Ke brought a half-pulled sheep and a jar of wine, "Now this is the only wine that can be drunk open."

Jiang Chen took a bowl for Jinxi, "You haven't tasted it yet, this is made by our village itself, and it tastes good." After speaking, he got up and went to the barbecue grill to get a plate of roasted moose bone marrow, and a plate of roasted moose bone marrow. Pheasant skewers.

Jin Xi took a sip of the wine, it was a little sour, a little bit astringent, a little sweet, but the taste was not bad.Jiang Chen cut a piece of roast mutton with a knife, and Jin Xi's eyes lit up after eating it, "Sai Yin's craftsmanship is really good, and the roast mutton is so tender. It's so delicious."

"Well, let this kid roast the mutton when we get it later." Ye Ke also ate with greasiness in his mouth.

"Sai Yin don't get too busy and come over for a drink." Ye Qiu greeted Sai Yin who started the kebab.

"It'll be fine later." Sai Yin replied.

A few young women came out and started singing at the venue, and the men started booing better, and the atmosphere in the big room was very lively.Jinxi felt that there was nothing wrong with such a life, and the relationship between people was much closer than before.
