food crisis [end times]

The relationship between Xiang Luo and Qian Shurou has been bad for a long time. Even if there is no previous incident, the villagers know that Xiang Luo looks down on Qian Shurou and have no relationship at all.

After that incident, people in the village looked down on their family. Even if Xiang Luo completely cut off contact regardless of family affection, the villagers could understand it.

Xiang Luo no longer has any worries about them.

After the fight, Qian Shurou's family has been honest for a while, and Xiang Luo is also a little worried as the villagers' demand for mushroom bags is increasing.

There are not many reliable people who can convince them completely, and they all go home to do it themselves, and it is not an option to send it over for sale after it is done.After all, the situation of each family is different. Even if the training is unified, the quality of the bacteria packs produced must be uneven.

Moreover, Xiang Yan's mother and daughter did their best because Xiang Yan is kind and understands that this is the property of the Xiang family. Even if it is for her own family, Xiang Yan will definitely do her best.But not necessarily outsiders.

Xiang Luo currently stipulates that salary is paid on a piece basis, and the quality of finished products can only be seen from the outside. Without professional equipment, quality sampling cannot be done.

In the final analysis, a stable environment is still needed, and everyone can cooperate with each other to work on the assembly line.

Seeing that the sales of mushroom packs are getting bigger and bigger, this matter must be considered as soon as possible.

Xiang Luo has been a little worried about this matter recently, but it's not too bad if it doesn't get under his nose.

And when Xiang Luo was thinking about this matter, the news finally passed down that he was going to the countryside for inspection.

The confirmed date is five days away.After knowing this, the village chief Zhou Zhenhua took all the members of the village committee from door to door to clarify the stakes of this matter, and led all the young people in the village to clean the village inside and out, and cleaned up the old and dead people. All the weeds that did not grow up were cleaned up, and some dirty walls were even wiped with a rag.

He also planned the fungus packs of every household, considering which household had the best conditions, and which household to visit with the leaders when the time came.

This matter was done in a lively manner, and Xiang Luo felt a little funny when he saw Zhou Zhenhua's ruddy complexion as if he was beating chicken blood.

But these are understandable.

If it was in the past, there would definitely be some self-proclaimed cynics on the Internet who ignored the situation and labeled all these as bureaucracy, but ask yourself, if your important guests come to your house, will you not clean the yard?

Since ancient times, Huaxia has always liked to show the best of itself to guests. First, it wants to give distinguished guests the best experience and the most comfortable environment. Second, it doesn't want others to feel that they are having a bad time.

It's not a bad thing to only show the good side.Of course, this is just a facade like cleaning and planning.

What's more, the leader's inspection this time is related to the future of the whole village.Not to mention just cleaning the village, but cleaning all the way from the entrance of the village to the ancestral graves, they can happily blow their horns and do it from ear to ear.

why?

Because it's a good thing!

Xiang Luo didn't follow suit, but Zhou Zhenhua still walked towards his house.

Seeing Zhou Zhenhua excited and nervous, Xiang Luo felt amused: "This is the third time you have come this week."

Zhou Zhenhua touched the hot water with his lips, and smiled awkwardly: "It's not because our place is too important. After all, we have the reputation of a model village. After the leadership inspection is over, the higher-ups should be able to give us instructions on planning. As long as the support from above is confirmed, the way out for our village will be certain!"

"If it's ours, it will always be ours. Don't worry." Xiang Luo took a folding fan and fanned it. The temperature is probably close to [-] degrees recently, and there is no green outside.This summer seems to be getting hotter and hotter.

The large expanse of black land outside is covered with a layer of yellow sand due to the strong wind every two days, and the furrows are flat, looking like a large expanse of desert.

It was barren.

It was also thanks to Zhou Zhenhua that he was able to run from house to house under the poisonous sun.

Xiang Luo was wearing a vest and shorts, like a casual old man at the entrance of the village, but his body was clean and his hair was dry. He didn't want to look oily like everyone else in the village because there was no water to wash.When the sun shines on a hot day, you can smell the stench from a long distance.

In fact, Xiang Luo just took off his clothes, and there are ice cubes in the room where the bacteria bag is made to cool down. You can wear a coat, headgear, and mask to ensure an antibacterial environment.

Just finished a batch of rest, came out to take off his coat and relax, and Zhou Zhenhua came.

"That is to say, you can calm down. Now the threshold of the village committee is almost flattened. The leader elected before may go to the demonstration house, and even start a family drill to see what the process will be. I can't wait to smile with chopsticks in my hands. .”

Xiang Luo took a look at Zhou Zhenhua.

In the past year, the situation at Zhou Zhenhua's family has been wonderful.Because of sufficient resources, his family hardly suffered much disaster due to zombies.And because the news can be obtained in time, there is a lot of food saved.

But after being a village official for so many years, how could he only have a good name.There have been rumors about him in the village for a long time.But Xiang Luo never cared whether those were true or not.

It's just that Zhou Zhenxing's idiot directly pushed Zhou Zhenhua to the cusp of public opinion in the village.

Just like the matter of building a country.Xiang Jianguo's reputation is bad, and Xiang Luo will be talked about to some extent.If it weren't for Xiang Luo's high prestige in the hearts of the villagers, he would definitely be labeled as "like an uncle, the nephew of the family must not be a good person".

What's more, Zhou Zhenhua had a close relationship with his younger brother, and he often helped this worrying younger brother.

But at the moment, Zhou Zhenxing's wife and youngest son are still with Zhou Zhenhua, so it is definitely impossible to separate the relationship.

"My family doesn't have the time to rehearse. When people come down, they will definitely take some bacteria bags as samples for culture. We do more now to prepare for that time."

"Then you should be busy, but don't worry about anything. This matter is also a big event for the village. You will make a good impression on people here, and it will be good for you in the future."

Xiang Luo said, "I think there will be many similar things in the future."

Zhou Zhenhua was startled, and then took another look at Xiang Luo.

In fact, Zhou Zhenhua has always been serious and serious in front of Xiang Luo, and even confronted each other when they disagreed.It's just that there are too many good things recently, and they are all brought by Xiang Luo.Zhou Zhenhua naturally let go of some burdens and became so close to Xiang Luo.

Xiang Luo's words sounded a bit youthful and frivolous.

Seeing the surprises he presented one after another, Zhou Zhenhua inexplicably felt that what he said were not fake words, but that they would really come true.

Zhou Zhenhua didn't agree, but he didn't say anything to keep him low-key either.

Just drank the glass of water and left.

As soon as the people left, Zhu Yan came over from Westinghouse, and threw Xiang Luo a tin-packed water bag.

This is the only thing I want to drink a sip of cold and refreshing water in this summer.

Xiang Luo bit off the package and took a sip, raising his eyes: "Honey water?"

There is honey in this water, and this iced drink is cool and sweet, and it is so delicious that it makes people shiver.

"Try to make some, it's okay." Zhu Yan was drinking a pack by himself, "You can bring more of this, and you can use it when you go out."

Xiang Luo looked at the tin-plated packaging, squeezed the texture, and said with a smile: "I think of the soda in bags when I was a child. It's similar to this, but it's not as hard as our packaging. In fact, it's not very good for normal drinking, but if it's frozen through A little bit of licking is the best."

Zhu Yan glanced at him: "Then freeze it and try."

Anyway, the packaged water is sterile, so it doesn’t matter how you toss it, as long as you eat it in time after opening it.

Xiang Luo took another big gulp and said, "Have you fed the duckling yet?"

"Hello."

Feeding prevents the feed from being infected by mold after it comes into contact with the air, so feed the boys regularly and quantitatively, and make sure they can eat them all within 10 minutes.And every time you finish eating, you need to clean up the ground and the remaining feed residue in the food bowl, so as to prevent the ducks infected by mold from eating them and turning them into zombie ducks.

In this way, there will be more work in one day.After all, this place is not as good as underground.Although there is ventilation underground, the filter device is still good.There are more sources of infection in contact with the surface, so you need to be more careful.

"Where's Anwei?" Xiang Luo asked again.

"Hey too." Zhu Yan said smoothly.

Xiang Luo: "..."

Zhu Yan also reacted quickly, shaking the water bag in his hand: "Give him this, and let him rest for a while. This day is like an oven, we can only use ice cubes to cool down, so it's good to take a nap at noon."

When the weather gets hot, people's minds get stuffy, so there's no need to force yourself to do anything.

After dinner, take a nap and continue working in the afternoon, other people in the village are still busy inside and out, only Xiang Luo's family is here.Although the work is basically full, it can be regarded as step-by-step, without rush or rush.

It was also at this time that someone returned to the village again.

Since the tide of returning to the village at the beginning of the year, basically no one from the original village came back.If they don't settle in the city, they don't have any news from here, they don't know the situation in the village, or they are farther away, there is no way to come back in this world.

Of course, there is another kind that will never come back.

So it is definitely big news to be able to come back at this time, and the person who came back is still known to Xiang Luo, and he was once a classmate of his.

Before Xiang Luo heard about it, he had been looking for him for a long time.

Tian Xiang Luo was still busy making fungus bags when he heard the sound of the siren.

The family had already turned down the siren to a very low level because it sounded from time to time.When I first used it, I couldn't fall asleep after ringing once at night, but now it sounds like a student ringing the bell in class.

He turned off the alarm, told Zhu Yan and the others to go out to watch the door, and was almost tripped by Nao Nao when he went out.He picked up the dog and patted it twice before he went out of the yard to open the door.

"Who is it!" Xiang Luo asked before approaching.

A hearty voice sounded outside the door:

"Brother Xiang! It's me!"

Xiang Luo heard the familiar voice, and when he opened the door, he saw two young men standing one behind the other.They still look somewhat similar.The one in front is the one who just spoke, named Zhou Xingwen.We didn't have much contact with each other before, but after the end of the world, we always came here to buy fungus bags, and we got to know each other after talking a few more words.

And standing behind Zhou Xingwen was a man with slightly long hair wearing a jacket.The man's slightly long bangs blocked his eyes, his face was clean, his beard had been shaved, and there was a mouth with thin lips under his upturned nose.At a glance, there is still a bit of mystery.

He didn't take the initiative to speak, Xiang Luo didn't recognize it for a while, and asked Zhou Xingwen: "This is..."

Seeing that the people around him didn't say hello, Zhou Xingwen touched them with his arms, and said to Xiang Luo with a smile: "He used to be your classmate, did you forget? Zhou Xingfeng! My second uncle (second uncle)'s children. You used to be all Are you studying well?"

When Zhou Xingwen said the names of everyone around him, Zhou Xingfeng raised his head, with narrow and long eyes, and there was a bit of inexplicable emotion in his soft eyes. Xiang Luo only took one look, and felt that this person was not simple.

Zhou Xingwen?

In fact, I really don't remember clearly the classmates I used to go to school. Although Xiang Luo is smart, he doesn't have the same photographic memory as Zhu Yan.

After reflecting for a while, Xiang Luo remembered who it was.

He was the one who followed Xiang Luo closely in his academic performance from elementary school to high school.In fact, if Xiang Luo was asked to say his name suddenly, Xiang Luo would really not be able to say it.It's not because Xiang Luo has a poor memory, but because he had a very low sense of presence when he was in school.

As low as the third year of high school, when the teacher in charge of the department asked him to answer the questions, he might look at the reminder stickers with the names of the students on the table because he couldn't think of the name.

Students who have been on vacation for more than a month during the winter vacation may ask his name again when they come back.

At that time, he really could only study hard and hardly communicate with his classmates, but his studies have always been among the best.Even though Xiang Luo overwhelmed her, she was still the head teacher's favorite, and she often told her classmates to learn from him in class.

If other students might have forgotten everything, Xiang Luo could remember it because he always pursued himself in his studies. From elementary school to high school, Xiang Luo had a deep impression of him.

It's just that since Xiang Luo's parents died, he went back to the village and didn't go to school. It seems that he hasn't seen him in the village since then.

How can people come back at such a time?And they can come to find him specially.

Xiang Luo really couldn't think of any intersection between them, he just nodded politely to Zhou Xingfeng, and offered his hand: "Hello."

Anyway, they are old classmates, and it is fate that we can still meet each other in this world.

Zhou Xingfeng looked straight at Xiang Luo through his slightly longer bangs. No one knew what he was thinking, maybe he was simply in a daze.

Seeing that he didn't reach out his hand, Xiang Luo felt a little unhappy in his heart, and wanted to withdraw his hand calmly, but Zhou Xingfeng suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiang Luo's hand.

Xiang Luo didn't know what kind of nerves he was having, he only heard him say: "Long time no see."

His voice was a little hoarse, and he looked like he had suffered a lot.He looked really thin, but not to the point of being skinny.On the contrary, his bronze skin looked several degrees darker than Xiang Luo, who had been living in a small house for the past six months.

"It's been a long time. It seems that we haven't seen each other since junior high school." Xiang Luo withdrew his hand forcefully and asked Zhou Xingwen, "Can you find me for anything?"

Zhou Xing's literati looked much more sunny than Zhou Xingfeng.

"It's not me! It's my brother who heard my parents praise you, so he wanted to come and see you. It just so happens that you two are still classmates, so we can catch up on the old days." Zhou Xingwen pushed Zhou Xingfeng, "Don't you still say it's good?" Haven't seen each other for a long time? Why are you ashamed?"

Xiang Luo didn't know whether he was stupid or listless, just as he was about to find an excuse to close the door to thank the guests, a voice came from behind: "Who is it?"

Xiang Luo hurriedly turned half of his body: "An old classmate in our class."

Zhu Yan walked in and saw someone raised his eyebrows: "You! You are the one..."

Xiang Luo raised his eyebrows, and he could still have a little impression. With Zhu Yan's memory, he should remember who he invited.

After all, Zhu Yan only came to the house to glance at Xiang Luo's second aunt and third uncle, and after five years, he could clearly recognize him.

Zhu Yan pondered for a while before expressing his impression: "Are you the third in age?"

Then the atmosphere became a little frozen, Zhou Xingfeng didn't speak, and Xiang Luo couldn't help recalling his achievements back then.

Zhu Yan was influenced by Xiang Luo before he began to study seriously. He transferred to Xiang Luo's class in the second year of high school, and then Xiang Luo told him to learn well, and he called Xiang Luo to learn badly.

Zhou Xingfeng was not as good as Xiang Luo in his primary school studies. He was only studying well at first. He didn't know how to compete with himself in junior high school, but his grades have remained stable at No.2. Every time he fell short of Xiang Luo.

Going on to high school, Zhu Yan transferred to the class. Under the influence of Xiang Luo, Zhu Yan's academic performance skyrocketed, and sometimes even surpassed Xiang Luo in the test.Even so, it was still under the condition that Zhu Yan didn't fully learn.

Therefore, after Zhu Yan's grades went up, Zhou Xingfeng gained another place at the top of the grade list.

Xiang Luo didn't expect Zhu Yan to say this.After all, in his opinion.The enthusiasm for grades in the student days is quite naive when I think about it now.

Understanding means being able to understand. After all, at that time, grades may be the whole of a student's life.But after leaving the campus and entering the society, you will find that the scores in your studies at the beginning are at most higher starting jumps, and the end point of how long you can run still depends on individual development.

So Xiang Luo didn't speak, Zhou Xingfeng didn't speak either, Zhu Yan just finished speaking and looked at Zhou Xingfeng, Zhou Xingwen looked at the three of them, and I don't know why the atmosphere was so awkward.

"It should be. I knew my brother was good at studying. I don't know the second or third. Anyway, my mother said that he is the only one with the surname Zhou in our village who can study." Zhou Xingwen really worked hard to adjust The atmosphere is up.But his elder brother clearly insisted on coming, but after he came, the cold scene made him feel like crying.

Maybe he shouldn't have been brought here.Knowing that he has such a weird temper.And after coming back from a near death outside, it seems even weirder.

After Zhou Xingwen finished speaking, Zhou Xingfeng opened his mouth and said, "Why don't we invite us to sit in?"

Xiang Luo only felt that his aura was a bit strange, and turned to look at Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan directly took the initiative, and pulled Xiang Luo to stand behind him.He himself raised a perfect smile and faced Zhou Xingfeng: "Long time no see, old classmate, come in and sit down, have a sip of tea before leaving. What's your name?"
