After the disaster

After negotiating the price, they went to the housing management bureau together, transferred the yard to Qiu Chengming, and then both went home separately.

In 1501, it was time for the Chinese cabbage to be harvested again. Together, Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang plucked the Chinese cabbage, cut off the cabbage root, peeled off some old leaves, rinsed and dried each cabbage, and cut each cabbage into pieces. The four petals are rubbed with salt and marinated. The remaining vegetable roots and vegetable clappers are picked and fed to the voles.

It’s mid-June now, and the temperature in Xinnan City is already relatively high. Everyone has started to wear shorts and sandals, and things can’t be stored very well. Vegetable clappers like theirs are basically stored for two days, and then put down. If you leave it alone, it will easily rot and deteriorate. If you still feed it to the voles, you may worry that the voles will get sick.

After Qiu Cheng and the others left enough rations for the voles, they put the remaining vegetable roots and leaves in an old bucket, filled the bucket with some water from washing the washbasin after kneading the dough last night, then closed the lid, and put the bucket The things are fermented in the corner, and after three to five days, they can be fed to earthworms.

The smell of rotten vegetable leaves will definitely not be too pleasant, and the appearance will definitely not be too good, but compared with human urine and feces, Qiu Cheng is more acceptable.If you want to plant but don't want to play with fertilizers, you have to use chemical fertilizers. However, chemical fertilizers are not so easy to get these days. There are only a few chemical fertilizer factories with output, and how many farms are staring at them.

After cooking the Chinese cabbage, Qiu Cheng mixed the little manure left by his family into these empty wooden baskets, and buried soybean seeds in them.Soybeans are easy to grow, and I heard that the land where soybeans are grown will become more fertile. Qiu Cheng is short of fertilizer now, so a variety of soybeans is suitable.

The peanuts on the roof were still drying in the sun. Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang went up and rummaged through them, filled a dustpan with a dustpan and brought them downstairs to peel the shells. In the afternoon of June, the sun was shining on the roof, probably due to the fact that many crops had been planted. Well, although the fifteenth floor is the top floor, it's not too hot.

Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang peeled peanuts in the living room of 1501, and opened the doors of 1501 and 1512 opposite. The north and south are transparent, and there is often a draft, which makes them feel very cool.

"Put the bad ones here." Seeing that Ah Chang had peeled a peanut with worms and held it in his hand for a while and didn't know what to do with it, Qiu Cheng handed him a plastic basin.

"Oh." Ah Chang replied, and with his fingers, he gently put the peanut kernel that was bitten by the bug together with the fat white bug into the plastic basin. The remaining peanut kernel is good. , still put together with other peanut kernels.

In the quiet afternoon, the two of them sat in the rough room with ventilation on all sides, peeling peanuts "cracklingly". The terrace next to it was full of peppers, with green leaves and green peppers, and occasionally some of them had been quietly infected. red.

In the room behind Qiu Cheng, there are three goats. This room is big enough, and the three goats live in it without looking cramped. There are lush weeds under the window sill for them to eat at will, and there is a clean water tank next to it. The clean water inside has never been cut off.

At this moment, there was a lot of noise downstairs, and then Qiu Chengcheng heard a voice saying: "Hey! Everyone listen to me! I, Ai Wenhai, will never let everyone suffer..."

"What about the crops in the field? At least give us an explanation!" Someone yelled.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely give you an explanation. Didn't I bring the technicians here? How much grain can each crop field produce, and how long is it before the harvest? I will have someone calculate it proportionally and compensate you." Ai Wenhai's voice was full of gods, and he didn't feel flustered at all when he was being chased and asked for an explanation.

"Seeds have to be counted separately." Someone asked again.

"Don't worry, everyone, it won't hurt everyone. Don't get excited. Let the technicians estimate. Let's talk about other things first." "I have contracted such a large piece of land, so I can't plant it by myself. Apart from a few management personnel, I have to recruit a group of workers. Manager Qi said that he would go to the train station to recruit people. I said that I would go there to work." Well, don't we have ready-made employees nearby, living in this community, and it's close to the place of work..."

"This time we decided to recruit [-] people first, including a few female employees. As for the salary, the male employees are paid [-] taels of cornmeal a day, and the female employees are paid [-] taels a day. After two days, my reclamation team will come over. Then they will After opening the land, leave..."

"Manager Qi, come here, sit here, if everyone is willing, please come to Manager Qi to sign up first, we only need [-] people, if there are too many people who sign up, then we will have a simple filter."

While peeling the peanuts, Qiu Cheng listened to the movement downstairs with his ears upright. Hearing this, he also knew that things were almost over here. The treatment given by Ai Wenhai was not bad at the moment. Thinking of him going to work there, you can't make trouble at this time, and he also promised to give part of the compensation, which is not very arrogant.

After peeling the peanuts in the dustpan, it was almost dusk. Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang went upstairs to collect the peanuts that were still drying. After collecting the peanuts, Qiu Cheng stood by the railing and looked downstairs.

Ai Wenhai was standing on the concrete road outside the Jiayuan Community talking to people at this time. Qiu Cheng had super-sighted eyesight after he established his foundation. At this time, he took a closer look and saw this person clearly. He was in his 50s, middle-aged He has a straight waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he seems to have a whole body of righteousness.

Not far from them, the man named Manager Qi was surrounded by residents of Jiayuan Community.On the main road outside, there were some people who had just got off work and walked into the community. Seeing so many people gathered on the ground, they all stopped.

Qiu Cheng didn't stop at the top of the building, he stood by the railing and took a look, then collected his things and went downstairs with Ah Chang.

The rice in 1507 is about to mature, and the blue color on the rice husk is gradually receding. Qiu Cheng intends to cut off the water in the rice field and let the soil dry up naturally, so that the rice will be harvested by then, but he is not at ease. I have visited it several times today. , Now I can't help but go there again.

"Who was that person on the roof over there just now?" As soon as Qiu Cheng and the others left, Ai Wenhai turned his head to look in the direction of Liudong, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Which side?" The person who was talking to him asked inexplicably.

"It's the tallest building." Ai Wenhai pointed.

"Oh, building six. I know that person. It's a young man surnamed Qiu. He bought all the fifteenth floor of that building. Oh, no, it seems that there is still one household missing. The head of the household a few days ago You still come to our side to inquire." This man really knows everything.

"A young man?" Ai Wenhai asked.

"It's quite young, about 27 or [-] years old. It's gentle, and it doesn't look like it's quite capable."

"You are really young and promising." Ai Wenhai praised, and then asked with great interest: "Is there still one household short?"

"That's right, the family wanted to raise the price because they were stretching him. It's been a long time, and Xiaoqiu is not in a hurry. Sometimes the head of the household can't hold back, and they will come to us to inquire about news."

At this time, Qiu Cheng was sitting in the living room of 1406 kneading dough, and the conversation between the two people downstairs fell into his ears verbatim.

"Are you coming?" Seeing Ah Chang eagerly watching, Qiu Chengcheng smiled and pushed the basin in front of him.

Ah Chang took the basin, happily rolled up his sleeves and started kneading the dough.

"Did you wash your hands?" Qiu Cheng asked him.

"Washed." Ah Chang replied, imitating Qiu Cheng, kneading a piece of dough in the basin over and over again.

Qiu Cheng saw that he was kneading well, so he turned around and prepared the stuffing. First, he cut a piece of tofu from the refrigerator and made a spicy tofu stuffing. Then he went to the terrace to cut a handful of leeks and made a chive stuffing.

When making buns, the skins of the buns are rolled very thin, and the fillings are very reluctant. The buns made by this batch are really thin and the stuffing is big. There is no way, white flour is too expensive.

Ah Chang grabbed a steamed bun just out of the pan and took a bite. The tofu juice in his mouth was fragrant and spicy, soft and tender. He then grabbed a leek bun and took a bite. The leek leaves were still a bit crispy and chewy. Spicy, rich in chives.

"Drink some soup." Qiu Cheng made him a bowl of loofah soup.

"Hmm." Ah Chang held the bun in his mouth, freed his hand to pick up the bowl of loofah soup, and put it on the tea table, but didn't move much, just eating the bun.

Qiu Cheng didn't care about him, and turned on the TV while eating buns. This girl has been a TV child since she was a child, and watching TV while eating is also a habit she has developed since childhood.

Recently, two more channels have been added, one is their provincial TV station, and the other is the variety show channel. The variety show channel is broadcasting a live interview with a male star. It is said that he is one of the top ten handsome men in Asia. Qiu Cheng feels average when he looks left and right. Very, I don't know how this guy got the rating. In terms of appearance, it's far worse than their Ah Chang.

"Are you full?" Qiu Cheng asked seeing Ah Chang finishing the loofah soup and cleaning up the dishes.

"Yeah." Ah Chang took the bowls and chopsticks of the two of them into the kitchen, and soon there was the sound of splashing water.

"Let's go find Shen Xing and Wang Chengliang later." Qiu Cheng then entered the kitchen.

"Oh." Ah Chang has no objection, he is already familiar with Shen Xing and Wang Chengliang now.

Qiu Cheng took out two fresh-keeping boxes from the cabinet, rinsed them under the faucet, and dried the water stains on them, took them outside the living room, lifted the lid of the steamer, and put them in each of the two fresh-keeping boxes. A box of buns.

Bringing the pickled green onion leaves, pickled leeks and tomato chili sauce they made in the past two days, Qiu Cheng and Ah Chang rode a tricycle from the back of the community to Student Street, and from there to Shen Xing's house.In front of the Jiayuan community, the crowd hadn't dispersed yet. Although there were only [-] places, there was still an endless stream of people who signed up. There were also people from outside the community who got the news and hurried over.

"Bang bang bang!" Ten minutes later, Qiu Cheng slammed on the courtyard door of Shen Xing's house.

"What's the matter?" Shen Xing came out quickly, with a puzzled expression on his face, the two of them just looked for him this afternoon, why did they come again at night.

"Here." Ah Chang, who was squatting behind the tricycle, grinned and handed her a box of buns.

"Ah!" Shen Xing took a look at the fresh-keeping box, and couldn't help exclaiming, "Bun!"

Then soon, the expression on her face became a little tangled again, why did she suddenly give her such a good thing?She also wants to maintain a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with Qiu Cheng. Unstable factors such as the issue of men and women are definitely not good for their cooperation.

"Don't think too much, I just made steamed stuffed buns, and I happen to have something to tell you, so I'll bring a few here." Seeing her tangled face, Qiu Cheng couldn't help laughing.

"What's the matter?" Shen Xing breathed a sigh of relief without concealing it.

"Did you know that Shen Dingjun contracted a piece of land in our area?" Qiu Cheng asked her.

"I know." Shen Xing frowned.

"He went to our community today." Qiu Cheng said again.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xing asked.

"Shen Dingjun asked someone about me, and he seemed very interested. He already knew that I was on the 1510th floor and I was short of buying it at [-]. I don't know if there would be something wrong." Qiu Cheng told her what happened just now. thing.

"That's it." Shen Xing narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry, don't go out tomorrow morning and wait for my news."

In fact, she has almost done this matter. It's just that there are too many chores at home these days, so she will inevitably be a little lax. Now that she hears that something may happen, she naturally has to solve it quickly.Even if it has nothing to do with Shen Dingjun, with her and Qiu Cheng's cooperative relationship, it is absolutely impossible for this matter to go wrong.

"Okay then, let's go first." After finishing what should be said, Qiu Cheng was about to go to the night market.

"Hey." Shen Xing raised his voice to stop them.

"What?" Qiu Cheng turned around.

"Thank you for the buns. I will bring the crisper over tomorrow." Shen Xing said awkwardly.

"Okay." Qiu Cheng smiled, exerted strength on his feet, and pedaled the tricycle a few times to get out of the alley.

Not long after they left, Shen Xing also went out soon.
