MTL - Natural Disaster Apocalypse-Chapter 100

When they came back, there was a lot of movement. Although there was a key and they didn’t need Jian Chu to open the door, they still woke up, opened the door and popped up to have a look. Although they were a little curious about whether they had been going well for the past two days, they just came back , he was tired all the way, so he didn't ask any more questions, he just asked after he rested.

Seeing Xu Ming get up the next day, Jian Chu hurriedly asked, "How is it? Did it go well? Seeing that you didn't bring anything back, did you catch it?"

Xu Ming said with a smile: "It's very lucky, but I don't think there will be a second chance of this kind of luck. We found a herd of deer and hunted four deer, sika deer. The military department asked about the route we took. Where there are deer found, it is estimated that they will go there soon to find them, and if they can find them, they may try their best to capture them alive and breed them."

Jian Chu was startled: "The herd of deer! What kind of luck is this!"

Xu Ming said: "There are also rabbits and snakes. We brought a rabbit back. It's not too small. It's as big as half a girl when you pick it up. At least it weighs seven or eight catties. I put it at Qin Huai's place. They say we will be together at night." Eat a rabbit meat pot."

Jian Chu couldn't help but let out a wow: "It's amazing, how did you spend the night outside?"

Xu Ming: "I met two nice old people who took us in."

Xu Ming and Jian Chu were eating together, and the stove was always on fire. Although they could do their own things separately, it was troublesome and time-consuming. Anyway, Xu Ming would put some rice noodles on the stove, which was regarded as the food fee. At the beginning of cooking, Jian would just be one more person. The big men are not too fussy, and they get along well. Early in the morning, Jianchu cooked the noodles, threw away a few slices of bacon that she bought earlier, and some sauerkraut found in the ruins. While eating, Xu Ming explained the situation along the way, although it might not be the next time. I can be so lucky this time, but I will definitely go out again when I go out. I guess it will be Jian Chu and the others next time I go out, so it is necessary to pass on experience.

When eating breakfast here, Mu Nan and the others hadn't gotten up yet, and they slept late at night, but I don't know if they ate something before going to bed, but they were more likely to be hungry in the morning. Mu Nan was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, but he was so hungry Panicked, I was so hungry that I had acid reflux, so I couldn't help but sat up and tried to suppress the surging feeling.

Qin Huai stroked his back gently: "What's wrong? Stomach upset?"

Mu Nan shook her head: "Very hungry and sleepy."

Qin Huai said: "Then eat something before going to bed."

Mu Nan rubbed her eyes and yawned: "What do you eat? Porridge?"

Qin Huai shook his head: "Don't eat porridge, white porridge will burn your heart, eat some burritos and drink some soy milk, don't drink milk, if you don't want to eat burritos, steamed buns are fine too."

Mu Nan ate half a steamed bun and drank half a cup of soy milk. After feeling a little better in his stomach, he fell back to sleep again. Qin Huai saw that he fell asleep again after a while, so it was obvious that he was really sleepy, so he closed the quilt for him, touched his hands and feet under the quilt, they were all warm, and then got up to deal with the matter.

The vegetable pots upstairs need to be watered, the ground needs to be cleaned up a bit, the dirty clothes that the two of them changed yesterday need to be washed, and the rabbit needs to be thawed and skinned. The rabbit was killed by Niuniu, so only the neck has There are two holes, and the size of the whole rabbit is not small. Take off the fur and clean it up and save it. If you save more in the future, you can make a scarf or a vest.

After Qin Huai has processed all the rabbit meat, there is almost nothing to throw away, except for some inedible internal organs, let Song Jia cook it for Niu Niu to eat, like the rabbit head that he doesn't know how to make, you can also give Niu Niu to eat , Now that there are too few meat sources, dogs can only eat rice and noodles, and occasionally eat animal offal, which is regarded as a tooth-fighting sacrifice.

Qin Huai put the cut rabbit meat through the water first, boiled off some blood foam, and it will be much cleaner when it is put into the pot. The wild rabbit needs to be cooked for a while, it is safe to cook through, and it is delicious when cooked, so in the afternoon , the rabbit is already burning in the pot.

Mu Nan woke up smelling the smell of meat, and stretched comfortably. When Qin Huai heard the movement, he lifted the curtain and looked at the person who was still rolling lazily on the bed, and stepped forward amusedly: "If you sleep again, it will be night." .”

Mu Nan took out his mobile phone to check the time, it was only one o'clock in the afternoon, and the first time he opened his mouth, he had a hoarse voice: "What's for lunch?"

Qin Huai pulled him up from the bed and dressed him one by one: "I made tomato beef brisket, which should be stewed by now, and I will fry a plate of stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers later, what kind of vegetables do you want to eat? , take a handful out and stir-fry until it’s green, and the rice is stuffed, and I’ll wait for you to get up and eat.”

Now that the weather is cold, I don’t even need a refrigerator, so I just put it in a place far away from the stove, and the vegetables and meat are frozen directly, such as green vegetables, frozen ones are not good, so Mu Nan didn’t Put the vegetables outside, and take them from the space when you want to eat them, but for some meat, Mu Nan directly puts a part of them outside, maybe cooking will make life more lively, so even if there are ready-made vegetables in the space Yes, but as long as conditions permit, Qin Huai is more willing to spend time on three meals a day, unless it is something that is not suitable for outside, such as barbecue.

Mu Nan slowly got up from the bed, took a small basin to the stove and squatted to wash. The beef brisket can be stewed for a long time, the more stewed, the softer it becomes, but the shredded pork with green pepper is more delicious when it is just out of the pot. Mu Nan is squatting on the stove, brushing his teeth and washing his face, and Qin Huai is cooking on the other side of the stove. The smell of life was about to permeate, and the last stir-fried vegetable was served on the small dining table on the kang, and Mu Nan climbed onto the bed after washing his face.

When Qin Huai was holding the bowl to serve the rice, Mu Nan said: "Leave it, I want to save my stomach for the evening meal." He is not greedy for meat, but he eats it lively when there are many people, and now he is full. If you can't eat much, the dinner party will lose its fun.

Qin Huai served him a bowl of rice in a small bowl. Mu Nan tasted the beef brisket, and it was stewed until it melted in the mouth. It must have been pressured in a pressure cooker, otherwise, it would have been impossible to cook the beef in a morning. The stew is so thorough, but the taste is very good, especially delicious, so I directly poured the soup on the rice, the taste is absolutely amazing, the green vegetables are stir-fried lettuce leaves that Mu Nan quite likes, and it is served with a mouthful of green peppers Shredded pork, super rice.

He said he wanted to save his stomach for dinner, but his eyes were still on the brisket, Qin Huai smiled: "Another bowl?"

Mu Nan shook her head: "No, I want to eat rabbit meat tonight."

Mu Nan is not greedy for meat, but his neighbors are already greedy. He wants to eat at Qinhuai's side, mainly because Qinhuai and the others have a lot of seasonings. For example, only Qinhuai and the others have those ingredients. None of the redemption points had to be sold, Qin Huai was in charge of killing, making materials and working hard, the rabbit skin naturally belonged to them, but Qin Huai was willing to make such a fuss not for a skin, it was purely because Mu Nan liked to eat what he made.

The place to eat is still next to the fire stove. The fire is burning on the stove, and it is bright and warm. Before the meal time, the meat-hungry neighbors came over early. Mu Nan had already cleaned up the first floor. Things that should appear outside, such as accumulators, and various snacks and drinks, are all stored in the space. Jane Chulai also brought his homemade playing cards, which are made of cardboard, in various colors, thick and thin, cut into The cards are the same size, and then I draw them with a pen, and I can bear it if I can bear it, but the thickness of the cards is different, and I couldn't even hold it in my hand.

Mu Nan sighed, then went to the cabinet to get a deck of playing cards.

Jian Chu was dumbfounded looking at a new box of cards: "Where did you come from?"

Mu Nan said: "I brought it at home. I kept it in my bag all the time. At that time, I thought I could play with it when I was resting and bored on the road. But when I was walking all the way, I stopped and just wanted to sleep, so I didn't take it out."

Jian Chu looked at him in bewilderment, and then looked at his rough work.

Mu Nan laughed loudly: "I originally wanted to say that I have, but I see that you are doing it with great enthusiasm, and I don't want to discourage your enthusiasm. Who knew that you made it like this. I can take this thick deck of cards in one hand." Can't live."

Jian Chu did not hesitate to discard the finished product of his hard work. The cardboard was directly donated to Mu Nan and his family's stove, and then he took Song Jia and the three of them to play Fighting the Landlord, and Qin Huai made tea for Yu Zibai and the others. I brought it back from the office when I went to work, originally to make milk tea for Mu Nan, but Mu Nan likes black tea, not this kind of Pu'er, and he doesn't like tea, so it can be used to entertain others.

The rabbit meat is still stewed in the pot, and the tomato soup is boiled in the small pot on the other side. The neighbors know that they have tomatoes, but the amount of the result is not enough now, and they have to be covered for a few days before they can be eaten. Green peppers It grows well, and it may be more durable than tomatoes. It does not require so much soil and temperature, and it bears a lot of fruit, so after the rabbit meat is stewed, make a tiger-skin green pepper.

As for whether there are people who don't like green peppers, I don't think it's a problem. I haven't eaten green things for so long, and I love them even if I don't like them.

Mu Nan and the others were playing cards, and Yu Zibai and the others were discussing the next trip, Xu Ming said: "If you want to go, it's best to go once in a few days, and wait for a weather where the wind and snow are not so heavy, and the temperature is getting lower and lower now. It feels like if it continues to drop, you won’t even be able to get out of the door.”

Jian Chu, who was playing cards, asked, "What's the temperature now?" After the power outage, there was no internet, and now I even take my body temperature once a week. I don't even know what the temperature is outside, it's just cold anyway.

Qin Huai said: "It may have broken through minus 50 degrees."

Jian Chu: "Damn it, you're so cruel. I've experienced a high temperature of 50 or 60 degrees in this life. Do I want to experience a low temperature of minus 50 or 60 degrees again?"

Song Jia asked curiously: "How many degrees was the Antarctic and the North Pole before?"

Wu Zheng said, "It's about fifty degrees below zero."

Song Jia said: "That's okay, at least it's within the range where human beings can live, and you don't have to worry about being frozen to death."

Mu Nan smiled: "In places where humans live, the lowest temperature is minus 70 degrees. I don't know if it will be that cold." He felt that the first winter in his previous life should not have reached that level. To that extent, he would freeze to death even if he had space. After all, he hadn’t prepared anything, and there was only a little food and a down jacket in the space.

Yu Zibai looked at Xu Ming: "Then will you go hunting next time?" If it's just him and Jian Chu, he thinks it's better not to take any risks.

Before Xu Ming could speak, Song Jia raised her hand directly: "I'm still going!" Although he knew that the harvest might not be as good as the first time, but he tasted the sweetness, and with Niuniu's support, he still wanted to try again .

Wu Zheng looked at Song Jia and didn't stop him. Song Jia was actually much more independent than he thought. It was just that Song Jia was very dependent on him when he took care of everything. Jia was also able to take care of himself, and it was only after this incident that he realized that the child who ran away from home with a schoolbag on his back and came to him and asked him, are you my brother, has grown up.

Qin Huai said: "We won't go. There is still a pot of fuel left from last time. You don't need to buy extra fuel this time. The points can be used to rent for a day or two."

Xu Ming said: "I'll go, staying at home is also staying at home, go out for a walk, people have things to do, and the energy will be better."

Yu Zibai said: "The next time I come to take my temperature, I'll ask about renting a vehicle. During the two days you were away, we could hear the sound of vehicles driving out of the yard. I heard it at least three times. It felt like hunting. Yes, car rentals must be booked in advance.”

Jian Chu said to Mu Nan: "That's just right, you stay at home this time, I leave the garage door open, remember to help us add some firewood when you are at home."

Mu Nan: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let your stove cool down."

Qin Huai uncovered the pot of rabbit meat, and there were aniseed ingredients and dried peppers in it. Although there was nothing else as a base, it was just a pot of pure rabbit meat, but the pot was full of meat, and they were still drooling. Not even playing cards.

Jian Chu sniffed the fragrance, and said softly, "A rabbit has so much meat?"

Mu Nan gestured to him: "It's such a big one, it's not comparable to those pet rabbits, I've never seen a wild rabbit before, I thought it was a mutated animal, but my brother said that some wild rabbits are really long They are very big, and I don’t know what they are eating now, the green plants outside are all sun-dried, and it is a bit of a skill to grow so big and live to this day.”

Jian Chu smiled and said, "I really hope that animals will be flooded in the future, so that at least there will be no worries about food. If the environment is really bad, even the animals will starve to death. I can't imagine how I will live in that day."

Qin Huai took out all the rabbit meat, fried a plate of tiger skin peppers, didn't make much rice, thought he was going to eat the meat, and when the dishes were on the table, Jian Chu directly sent the two rabbit legs to Mu Nan and Song Jia put one in each of his bowls: "In case you push it around, the younger ones will eat first."

He just thought that there were only two rabbit legs, and it would not be good for so many people to eat them, so Qin Huai chopped the rabbit legs into small pieces, but the two rabbit leg bones still had a bit of meat and they were not all chopped, so Song What Jia and Mu Nan gnawed was only a little bit of meat on the bones.

Mu Nan looked at Song Jia: "Can Niuniu eat this bone?"

Song Jia nodded: "Yes, you can **** up the smell from the bones, it has a bit of a spicy taste, after you **** it up, give it back."

Niuniu on the side had already been waiting with her tongue licked. When someone mentioned it, she knew that it was going to be eaten by it.

While eating, Xu Ming calculated the points that could be exchanged this time, and said, "I want to exchange some rice and coal for stockpiling this time. I asked yesterday if coal is available, and they said yes, but the amount is not much. One point Ten catties, just that kind of briquette, one briquette is two catties, and one point can only be exchanged for five."

Jian Chu couldn't calculate in his heart for a long time: "How long can one coal burn?"

Xu Ming said: "It's a big fire for cooking, and one coal only burns for one or two hours. If it is smoldering at night with the stove cover on, making the kang bed a little hot, it may only take two or three a night. As for us This kind of stove is built with firewood, but our firewood can be saved by at least half compared to now, and two coals are stuffed in it at night, so we don’t need to get up at night to add firewood.”

Jian Chu said: "It's okay to do this calculation. The supplies for the winter are too scarce now. One point can be exchanged for five coals. Now being able to keep warm is life-saving. If you have some, buy more. I'm afraid it will be more difficult in the future. "

A pot of rabbit meat was eaten without any leftovers. He is a big man with a big appetite. Even if he has rice as a base, he hasn’t eaten meat for such a long time. It’s inevitable that he will be indulged. Jian Chu touched his stomach and sighed. : "I can't wait to go out."

Mu Nan looked at Wu Zheng and the others: "Then we need to accumulate some weapons." The arrows they shot along the way failed to recover many, but those arrows were made by themselves later, although they were made of wood, But the lethality is not small. The main force of the production is Wu Zheng. He can walk around and take care of himself now, but he was so cold before, and he can't be raised in such a short time. He has nothing to do and doesn't want to lie down all day. , just make arrows, so at the moment they are discussing improvements, and with experience, they will know how to save materials and increase lethality.

Anyway, Mu Nan doesn't understand, and Jian Chu doesn't understand what angle or range, he just needs to take the finished product they made and follow suit.

Song Jia hugged Niu Niu and sat by the fire, looked at Mu Nan and said, "It's strange, we feel like a big family."

Jian Chu smiled: "If it's really a big family, maybe we don't get along so well." No matter how familiar they are now, they are just friends after all, and there should be a proper social distance between friends. If they are relatives , I am afraid it is not as harmonious as it is now.

Speaking of the big family, Jian Chu said: "The Qi family has been in a lot of trouble during the two days you were away."

Mu Nan immediately gossiped, "What's the trouble?"

Jian Chu said: "Isn't Qi Kangmin's nephew gone? Just the night before yesterday, his sister suddenly took a knife to kill her brother."

Mu Nan and Song Jia were shocked immediately: "Really?"

Jian Chu nodded: "It was really cut, but it was a woman after all, and I probably panicked when I did it. Anyway, I didn't die, but I got a deep wound on my arm. They knew that there was a doctor in our yard, and they came to knock on me in the middle of the night. I asked for help, but Xu Ming wasn't there, so there was nothing I could do in the end, that Qi Kangmin's father, so late, rode his bike to the No. 1 building to ask for help, fell halfway and broke his arm."

Song Jia was full of curiosity: "It's just why, if you really hate it so much, isn't it when your son just died, the hatred was the strongest? It must have been about ten days and a half months ago."

Jian Chu said: "His younger sister's husband seems to be called Yu You. That man is just a grandma. His grandma is getting old and her teeth are not good, so there are few teeth left. She usually eats less. That day His grandma didn't eat a single bite of the meat, because she couldn't chew it, so she was fine, but in the end, the great-grandson disappeared, which was a big blow to the old man."

Song Jia said: "The old man is gone?"

Jian Chu waved his hand: "It's still there, but Qi Kangmin's sister gave birth to a son not long ago, and she seemed to be ill, which was quite serious. In the end, she took the womb to save her life, and the son she raised so big was gone. She I can't give birth anymore, that Yu You doesn't seem to want her anymore, and he said that the incense in their Yu family can't be broken, anyway, he took his grandma away, a big man, it's not impossible to support an old man, anyway, he left .”

Mu Nan and Song Jia couldn't help but look at each other. Is there a throne to be inherited? Natural disasters and man-made disasters, people will die. I don't know if there will be tomorrow, and the incense can't be broken? If you dislike it or don't love it, just say it, what kind of incense is it.

Mu Nan: "Then what's the situation with their family now?"

Jian Chu shrugged: "I don't know, I didn't hear anything today. Now the Qi family has a father who broke his hand, a son whose hand was cut, and a younger sister who can't think about it at any time. In a family of eleven, there are only three left, I am afraid they will move out soon, otherwise they will not be able to pay the rent."

Mu Nan sighed: "Life is so difficult, so many things have to happen, and I have gone through such terrible disasters, and I haven't even learned to cherish the people in front of me."

Jian Chu also sighed: "Isn't it? After such a terrible earthquake, it is not easy to have such a complete family, but I don't know how to cherish it."

After gossiping, eating and drinking enough, everyone went back to their respective houses. On the third day, the person who came to take their temperature came and brought the news that they exchanged points for deer. Three adult deer, plus rabbits and two snakes, averaged The whole family can exchange for 900 points. The deer weighs only 110 catties, and the edible internal organs are also divided. If you can’t eat it, the dog can eat it, so I leave it to Niu Niu. The family divided more than 30 catties. Even the meat and bones, although Jian Chu and the others didn't go, they still gave them a deer bone and five catties of meat, and it happened that the remaining three families could distribute them equally, and there was no such thing as which family had more and which had less.

Mu Nan looked at a big pot full of meat, and couldn't help saying, "Hey, I feel so rich in an instant!"

Qin Huai cleaned the deer bones a bit, and put some big bones that were not easy to chew directly into the big pot on the stove. Fortunately, the pot was big enough, and those bones that were only slightly handled by the soldiers could also be put in.

Mu Nan helped Qin Huai pour water into the pot: "How long are we going to drink such a big pot of soup?"

Qin Huai said: "It's not much cooked, drink a little. In the morning, you can cook noodles with soup for breakfast. You can finish it soon. If you want to eat hot pot, you can also use deer bone soup as the bottom of the pot. If you want spicy food, I will put some for you." Spicy, the bottom of this pot is not as strong as the butter pot, but it is still delicious."

Mu Nan clicked his tongue and said, "I've grown so big, I haven't eaten venison or drank deer bone soup before."

Qin Huai smiled, he had eaten it before, and the taste was no different from ordinary meat: "The venison tastes pretty good, quite nourishing."

After pouring the water, Mu Nan put the lid on the pot: "What are you nourishing? Kidney?"

Qin Huai smiled meaningfully: "Replenishing the spleen and Qi, warming the kidneys and strengthening the yang."

Mu Nan snorted, and looked at Qin Huai who purposely elongated his tone: "Oh..."

Qin Huai picked up Mu Nan and threw it on the kang. Mu Nan couldn't help laughing because of the trouble. When the curtain was put down and the quilt was lifted, the deer bone soup in the pot was bubbling, and the young couple on the kang were frolicking. noisy.
