After the disaster

Boss Wang acted quickly, leaving her daughter-in-law to sell tofu with Wang Laosan and his wife the next morning, and took his eldest son Afeng with him, and ran back to the village.

It happened that his youngest son, A Lei, was also in the village. Together, the father and son collected some materials, cut and welded them. After working for a long time, they made more than 30 groups of field mouse cages. It was still dark when the field mouse cage was brought to Jiayuan Community.

Qiu Cheng paid him more than three catties of cornmeal, moved these vole cages upstairs, and distributed them. Each vole was kept in a separate cage, a group of four, three female mice and one male mouse, and the female mice also gave birth. There are also young rats that have just grown up, and the old and young are matched. The male rats are generally younger, because the older ones have been sold by Qiu Cheng as meat rats.

After these voles were captured, many cages were vacated on the original shelves, but recently, many female mice have given birth to pups in the house, and litters of small voles have been born, and each litter is as small as five or six. Only, there can be as many as ten or more. After a while, when these little voles grow up, I'm afraid there may not be enough space.

Going to the night market to sell voles at night, Qiu Chengcheng didn't go to Wang Chengliang's stall again, but went to the intersection where the northerners sold live chickens last time.

This intersection is not as lively as the one in the night market, but the flow of people is also very good. Most people from the urban area will pass by here when they want to go out to visit the night market. Not long after Qiu Cheng and his stalls were set up, some people stopped to watch.

"Look at the cage after cage, it's so neatly dressed, is this a pet mouse?" A middle-aged man who was watching joked.

"There are three female mice and one male mouse. Each female mouse can have up to four litters a year. A litter can have as few as six or seven pups, and some as many as a dozen." Qiu Cheng smiled and introduced them to them. Come up with your own field mouse.

"How long will it take for the pup to grow up?"

Upon hearing Qiu Cheng's introduction, many onlookers were a little moved. Now that the disaster has just passed, food is expensive, and few people raise livestock. Even if there are people who do, ordinary people like them want to eat meat. That's still early, and the breeding cycle of this field mouse doesn't seem to be very long.

"If you want them to give birth, it will take about three months. If you want to eat meat, it will take about two months."

Qiu Cheng mentioned another set of cages and said: "Here, the female rats are number one, number two, number three. I have arranged them according to the estrus period. When you buy them back, just put the male mice in them in order."

Then these people asked a lot of questions in a hurry, and Qiu Chengcheng answered them one by one.

"Then how did you sell this vole?" Someone finally asked the price.

"A set of three catties of cornmeal," Qiu Cheng said.

"Oh, it's too expensive, too expensive, too expensive!" When they heard that they wanted three catties of cornmeal, many people thought it was too expensive.

Xinnan City is no better than the provincial capital. Most of the people here don’t have much income. Except for a few top-notch ones, the best ones are those who eat public meals. But even so, the rations they receive home every month There are also a few of them, all of them live their lives carefully, and few of them are extravagant.

In addition to those who eat at the public house, the rest are mainly businessmen and workers. Businessmen depend on whether the business is big or not. Xinnan City is now mainly composed of small businessmen.Some of the workers help large and small farms around the outskirts of the city, and some help businessmen in the urban area, and most of them earn very meager income.

But it is also because of this that there is a market for Qiu Cheng's voles. Considering the living standards of most people in Xinnan City, it is difficult to be able to buy other meat in a short period of time.

A field mouse is less than a catty of cornmeal, which is actually very reasonable. After all, it is meat, and it can give birth to cubs after a while.

The reason why these people all agree that it is too expensive is because they want to bargain, and not all of those who participate in the bargaining plan to buy it. To put it bluntly, some people are just idle and bored.

There are only a few TV series coming and going on the TV, and not every household can afford the network cable, and most of the time at night is spent in the night market.

It was not the first time for Qiu Cheng to set up a stall, and he was used to it, so he clenched his mouth tightly, and after a while these people saw that there was nothing to do, and naturally stopped.

Sure enough, after a while, everyone saw that he had no intention of lowering the price at all, and soon some people gave up bargaining, paid three catties of cornmeal, and brought a group of voles back. many.

Halfway through they set up the stall, Wang Chengliang came over with one of his nephews and two nieces. Just now, Boss Wang helped him guard the stall and asked him to go home to have a meal, take a bath, and rest.

Although their family has recently added a new tofu business, the stall selling stoves still plans to continue to operate. Anyway, it doesn't cost much capital, and they only need to arrange one person to guard it every day, and they can earn as much as they can.

When the Wang family saw Ah Chang, they called him to play cards at their house. Today, Ah Feng was also left in the village by their uncle and asked him to help his grandparents with work. There were only three children left here. , plus Ah Chang, just hit a double button.

After another month, Afeng and Alei will be back, and the three of them will go back to the village to stay. The family has discussed it, and let their brothers and sisters return to the village in turn to help their grandparents take care of the land. crops.At that time, Afeng and Alei brothers will come back, plus Achang, the double button will not be able to fight, but they can still play Doudizhu.

"Go, I'll look for you in a while." Seeing that Ah Chang was a little moved by the invitation, but he didn't really want to leave, Qiu Cheng encouraged him.

"You guys go home directly, don't wander around at night." Wang Chengliang said the same to his nephews.

"Understood." The children agreed happily, and walked towards the tofu shop with Ah Chang.

Last night, because of Ajie's guidance and Xiaoyan's super powerful opponent, Ah Chang won a few rounds in the end. When Qiu Cheng and the others went to get the bean dregs this morning, they did not break their promise and gave them Several children brought some peanuts over.

Ah Feng went to the village today, and Ah Jie wanted to play at the table by himself. Ah Chang had no one to teach him, and as a novice on the road, it was hard to say whether he would win in the end.

"Aren't you going back with them?" Qiu Cheng asked Wang Chengliang.

"I'll be with you later." Wang Chengliang glanced at Qiu Cheng's tricycle as he spoke, the meaning was self-evident.

If Qiu Cheng sells these voles, he can get back a lot of cornmeal. He carries so much cornmeal on the night road, and the road may not be peaceful. Wang Chengliang is with him, two young men, and some people are moved. , You have to weigh it before you start.

Knowing his kindness, Qiu Cheng didn't refuse any more, and the two stayed at the intersection for nearly an hour until they had sold out all the voles, and then they went in the direction of Wang's Tofu Square.

More than 30 groups of voles sold a little more than [-] catties of cornmeal in total, which may seem like a lot to others, but to Qiu Cheng's place, it was not enough to sell half a piglet.

When we went to the tofu shop, Ah Chang was playing cards with those children. On the card table, there were more or less peanuts in front of everyone. Make an epic gamble.

When Qiu Cheng entered, Ah Chang was holding a piece of Xiaowang in his hand, his face full of confusion.

"Hurry up, can't you get out?" Ajie from the next house urged.

"...Xiao Wang!" Ah Chang hesitated for a while, and finally played the card.

"Bomb!" Ajie threw out four sevens with a snap.

"Woo..." Ah Chang's face turned pale from the blast, and he turned to look at Qiu Cheng.

"It's okay, I can still run." Qiu Cheng said with a smile, Ah Chang still has an eight left in his hand, which is not too small, and there is still a chance.

This night, Ah Chang finally lost all the peanuts in his pocket. On the way back, he squatted on the sideboard behind the tricycle without saying a word.

"I'll turn on the computer later and tell you to practice, and you'll be great someday." Qiu Cheng comforted him.

"The peanuts are gone." Ah Chang was very disappointed.

"We'll win it back from them in the future." Qiu Cheng said with a smile.

"Woo..." Ah Chang stopped talking again.Xiaoyan and the others are too powerful, he feels that he can't surpass them.

Back in Jiayuan community, Qiu Cheng first carried the cornmeal he earned tonight to 1406, and then went to the fifteenth floor to look at the rice seedlings. They had just picked out a little sprout, and they would probably not be able to plant the rice seedlings until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It was almost time for them to have some paddy fields ready.

By the way, he looked at the voles and goats, and went to the top of the building to look at the chickens that had rested in the chicken pen. After making sure that everything was normal, Qiu Cheng decided to go downstairs to meditate in peace. In the corridor upstairs, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Ah Chang asked inexplicably.

"It's those ginsengs." Qiu Cheng said in a daze.

These days, the ginseng he planted seems to have passed the stage of massively absorbing spiritual energy. He placed them in this large spirit gathering array on the fifteenth floor, and the spiritual energy of the entire floor did not dry up. On the contrary, at this time he Standing in the corridor, feeling the flow of spiritual energy in the entire spirit gathering array, it seems to be much purer than before.

Qiu Cheng had also discovered that the aura in the small spirit gathering array he had set up for those ginseng was relatively pure, but it was only a small gathering spirit array, and there was very little aura. In the array, their effects are so obvious.

"Go back to sleep first, I will meditate here tonight." Qiu Cheng said to Ah Chang.

"I don't sleep." Ah Chang didn't leave.

"Then do you want to play cards?" Qiu Cheng didn't want Ah Chang to feel too boring. He had been in samadhi for several hours, and now Ah Chang didn't practice with him, and being with him was just sitting dry.

"No." Ah Chang responded.

So Qiu Cheng helped him pull a network cable out of the window, moved the desktop up, turned on the computer, updated the QQ game, helped him choose a room with a large number of people, and let him play by himself.

Compared with the scene where there were tens of thousands of people in the past, the current QQ game is simply too deserted. In the double button game, there are only a few rooms for people in total, and basically there is no need to worry about being kicked out because it is full.

After finishing all this, Qiu Cheng sat down cross-legged in the corridor beside him, and after a while, he fell into samadhi.

Ah Chang sat facing the wall in the corridor, the display screen in front of him was placed on an upside-down wooden basket, the main box was placed directly on the ground, and a wiring board was pulled out from the 1506 next to it, and the network cable also passed through a The crop fields did not reach him until later.

Because of his lack of experience, Ah Chang lost several rounds in a row. He lost his spirits and couldn't help yawning. He turned his head and looked at Qiu Cheng. Seeing that he was still sitting there, he felt at ease.

The moonlight is like water, reflected by the mirrors outside the terrace, and the crops in the next room are silvery white, and the corridor does not look very dark. Looking at this long corridor, Ah Chang unconsciously remembered the scene a few days ago happy...

Ah Chang glanced at the computer screen, then at Qiu Cheng, played the game absent-mindedly for a while, then simply dropped the mouse, ran to squat beside Qiu Cheng, smelled the smell on his body, his restless body and mind finally Calmed down a little.
