MTL - Natural Disaster Apocalypse-Chapter 109
After Qin Huai came out, he greeted this new friend who had chatted with him for a few words and took Mu Nan away. Mu Nan went downstairs and spread the piece of chocolate to Qin Huai: "Just now Liang Yufei gave me the chocolate in the fortress. , I said no, and he also said that next time we would go to his house to play and make meat buns, but I refused, but he was too enthusiastic."
Qin Huai took the chocolate from Mu Nan's hand away: "Don't lower your vigilance just because of their enthusiasm, don't rashly follow people, especially don't be alone with strangers casually." It is impossible for people to be prepared to follow others casually, and of course they will not be greedy for that bite. Don't look at the meat buns that Mu Nan made so much when the epidemic was closed at home. Mu Nan didn't like meat buns very much since she was a child. To eat, every time you have to wrap a mouthful of meat with a mouthful of milk, you can swallow it. Eating meat buns alone always makes you choke. This habit has not changed until now, so there are a lot of meat buns in the space, but they haven’t eaten yet several times.
He doesn't deny that there are people who are really warm and generous, but in this world, it's always right to be cautious.
Mu Nan nodded humbly: "I don't know how, and I'm not greedy." There's no space for what you want to eat, and it's not possible to go with someone for a meat bun.
When the two were walking out, Qin Bing just came back from inspection. Mu Nan was just about to say hello, but Qin Huai held his head and led him to go out. Qin Bing just glanced at them, but didn't come over, as if he didn't know each other. Pass them by.
Although Mu Nan was a little puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions. He wrapped his mask tightly, put on the goggles, tightened his collar, and followed Qin Huai to the house through the wind and snow. Just when I was getting a certificate in this building, the wind and snow outside were much heavier. Mu Nan wore a hat and a raincoat that could have covered her whole body, but she was still blown by the wind and snow. His body was aching, even if his body was covered with warm babies, it seemed that he couldn't stop the biting cold.
Seeing that the weather was too overwhelming, Qin Huai directly dragged Mu Nan to run home in one breath. Fortunately, Mu Nan ran every day, and now he could last half an hour on the treadmill. It would be no problem to spend ten minutes running back. If I walk back slowly against the wind and snow, I'm afraid it will be freezing cold.
But even if they ran all the way back, Mu Nan was still very cold. Qin Huai quickly asked him to take off his clothes. When they went out, they put a set of clothes under the quilt to keep warm. If you change the outside, it will always get warmer.
Mu Nan's cold teeth chattered while taking off his clothes, Qin Huai put the charged hand warmer on him: "Hurry up and warm up, don't freeze again."
Mu Nan got under the quilt, and spread himself on the hottest part of the kang like a pancake: "We wear so much, so thick, and warm babies, it's all frozen like this, how can other people carry it. "
Qin Huai wrung out a hot towel and wiped his hands and face for him: "Rely on human potential, sit up wrapped in a quilt and drink some hot water."
Mu Nan took the hot water and put it in his hands to warm it up: "Hurry up and change your clothes, you are all wet." Although the raincoat was wet, it was always uncomfortable.
After Mu Nan was settled down, Qin Huai took off his clothes in a leisurely manner, found the chocolate that Liang Yu gave Mu Nan in his pocket, and put it in the cabinet by the entrance. He probably heard some movement from them, and after a while Jian Chu knocked on the door in the garage, and Qin Huai, who had just changed his clothes, threw some firewood in the stove and opened the door.
Mu Nan lifted a corner of the quilt: "Come up quickly, is it cold?"
Jian Chu nodded again and again: "It's so cold, it's too cold to come here for a while."
Mu Nan: "We ran back just now, it's too cold, if we walk back slowly, we won't be able to bear it."
Jian Chu couldn't help but said: "The wind is even stronger after running back, so it's easy to lose temperature."
Mu Nan smiled: "In just five minutes, I ran down in one breath, my body was cold and my heart was hot, and of course it won't work from a long distance. You are here to see your ID card."
Jian Chu nodded, and Mu Nan showed him the new ID card. The ID card was different from the previous one. Except for the ID number, there was also the place of birth, and the place of residence. They are all living without a fixed place, where to go to fix the place of residence, Mu Nan said: "The person who applied for the certificate said that the Internet can be connected within a month at the fastest, and indefinitely at the slowest, but it is said that the power connection is limited, that is, one household. How many kilowatt-hours of electricity people can use, it will be gone when it runs out, so electricity can’t supply floor heating, but lighting, mobile phone charging, etc. are all fine.”
Jian Chu said: "Then how should this be limited? Your family has one household, and mine has two households. They are classified according to the number of households. Your household is definitely not enough for a small three-story house. If you don't divide it according to the number of households, there are still three houses in one house." It’s not enough for households.”
Mu Nan shook his head: "Then I don't know. I didn't ask so detailed. The higher-ups should have considered it. Let's see how it goes."
Qin Huai said: "It is divided according to the number of households. When the time comes, the wires will be re-routed. Open an account with an ID card. One household has one meter, and pre-charged electricity is used. If you want heating, you can charge it. If you don't have money, you can save electricity. "
Mu Nan said to Jianchu: "You can inquire about solar energy. We can recharge electricity in winter, so we don't need to spend this money in summer. The sun is so fierce that solar energy can consume enough electricity."
Jian Chu wanted to inquire, but the problem is that everyone who has some conditions wants to buy this kind of scarce material, and their family's wealth is not much richer than others. Even if they buy it together with Xu Ming, it may not be enough: "I can only slowly buy it. Look, anyway, I told Qin Bing and asked him to pay attention to it, and I don’t know when this redemption point will reopen.”
Mu Nan said: "In addition to this card, there is also a bracelet, the kind of future technological bracelet, a soft strap, thin, only six or seven centimeters wide, and one section is black, probably The place where the chip is installed is 50 points, but no one seems to buy it."
Hearing fifty points for one, Jian Chu rolled his eyes directly: "I'm poor and can't afford luxury goods."
Mu Nan smiled, although he and Qin Huai are already considered very rich, but fifty points are also reluctant, if life can really be smooth like this, this thing will definitely become popular in the future, and you can buy it again at that time. What they said during the certificate, Mu Nan said: "I remember Wu Zheng majored in machine tool machinery, right?"
Jian Chu didn't take this to heart: "What's wrong?"
Mu Nan said: "The factory is going to be built. In such a big city, it is impossible to live on digging up the ruins and subsidizing the central government all the time. We have to pick up the civilization of the past, not to mention that our country was able to grow from a country that did not even have electricity. It only took a few decades to go to space to build infrastructure, and it will only be faster again. The crazy infrastructure construction country is not empty, but there must be a start, so the upsurge of re-employment of laid-off workers is about to begin.”
Jian Chu's heart was moved immediately, and then he became confused again: "Does it depend on the major? What can someone who studies finance do? He's bald. If I knew today, I didn't need to learn carpentry and learn agriculture."
Mu Nan shrugged. He doesn't know what finance can do. Anyway, what he can do is serialize paintings. I hope that when people urgently need spiritual entertainment, he can still make some small money. I see, then I can only go to a stall to sell vegetables, but the only better thing now is that if he serializes on the Internet, there should be no pirate comics, after all, there is no such condition for pirates.
As for his brother, there is no need to worry, a top talent, don't worry about running out of food.
Jane came here just to see what the new ID cards look like, although they will go to get the next batch, but people, I am a bit curious, staying at home is staying at home, so why not come over and have a chat. The two chatted for a while, Jian Chu felt warm again, and it was almost time for dinner, so naturally he wouldn't stay, he wasn't so ignorant.
The ID card is also taken, and the rest is to see when the vaccine will be available, but at this temperature, the transportation of the vaccine may be very difficult, and I feel that I should wait. What made Mu Nan most happy was that besides the abundant fruits on the third floor, the female rabbit in the room on the second floor had gained weight, lying lazily and motionless in the cotton all day long. Qin Huai said that there might already be a baby rabbit.
In order for the rabbit to have cubs, Mu Nan also put a heater in the room, just like a small sun, placed in the corner of the rabbit's nest, a battery can use the heater for one night, according to Qin Huai, the rabbit The fecundity of rabbits is very powerful. One litter can give birth to seven or eight litters, and several litters can be born in a year. After all, it only takes one month for a female rabbit to conceive and give birth to cubs. This is related to their future rations, so Mu Nan attaches great importance to it. A small generator was installed, which was connected to a small solar heater in the room to provide heat twenty-four hours a day.
In order not to let the strange smell make the pregnant female rabbit nervous, Mu Nan could only hold the door and look in: "The chicken breeding failed, the rabbits picked up this winter should be successful, bro, if we feed the rabbits, Can the summer be so hot?"
Qin Huai weeds the vegetables in the nearby greenhouse. Half of the soil in the vegetable pot is ordinary soil, and the other half is nutritious soil. The nutritious soil is good. After special treatment, the ordinary soil will contain some plant seeds, even small ones. Insect eggs, so carefully observe every day to see if any herbaceous plants that grab nutrients have grown, or some small insects have hatched. Hearing Mu Nan's question, he laughed and said, "Isn't there solar energy in summer, just turn on the air conditioner."
Mu Nan nodded: "That's right, I don't have to worry about power outages for my own solar energy, little rabbits, give birth more, it's up to you whether your family can eat meat in the future."
Qin Huai: "The rabbit said, if you keep nagging me every day, I won't give birth."
Hearing this, Mu Nan turned his head and glared at Qin Huai: "Hold your words!"
Qin Huai laughed straight away, put down the watering can, and came out of the greenhouse with the cut weeds: "Here, take it to feed your little rabbit."
Mu Nan looked at the grass in Qin Huai's hands, and suddenly said "Oh, I didn't buy any grass seeds!"
Realizing that he didn’t seem to have any grass to feed rabbits other than sweet potato vines and various vegetable leaves, Mu Nan couldn’t help but began to rummage through his seed inventory, wondering if he was lucky. He bought so many seeds back then. There is something wrong in it, or the boss just gave some grass seeds as a gift.
As a result, I rummaged through all the boxes of seeds on the kang, and there was not a single forage seed: "There are even blueberry tree seeds, but there are no grass seeds!"
Qin Huai said: "No matter how long-term you think, there will always be omissions. It's okay. Next time, just ask someone to inquire about it. Besides, it has also started breeding. It will definitely grow feed. At that time, we can grow it or buy it. It should be fine."
Mu Nan sighed: "That's the only way to go, I hope the rabbits will be able to eat those sweet potatoes and vines."
Qin Huai reassured: "It must be enough, the wild rabbits have grown so big eating weeds outside, and it was so hot last year, all plants were dried up, but those rabbits still survived, proving their tenacious vitality, now they have food and drink It's much better than the days outside, and those little rabbits will definitely be born well."
Mu Nan observed for a few more days to confirm that the female rabbit was really pregnant. Her belly was getting bigger and her temper was getting more and more irritable. The male rabbits could not approach at all. Even when they went in to clean, they had to avoid the female rabbit. Where the rabbit is, she loses her temper as soon as she gets close to the female rabbit.
Mu Nan rolled up a pile of dirty cotton and pee pads, quickly put new ones on and ran out. The female rabbit kept staring at him, feeling like she was about to scratch someone violently at any time: "Don't mess with him. Not to be messed with, not even a female with cubs."
Qin Huai pulled the plastic bag and asked him to throw the garbage in. These things can only be accumulated in the space for the time being, and they will be thrown out later: "Don't come close, I'll give you a paw to bite you, now I guess there is no place to kill a rabid dog." .”
Mu Nan shook his head again and again: "I won't come close, I promise not to come close, it's okay to scratch me, if I'm so scared that I won't have babies, then the matter will be serious."
Qin Huai was speechless to Mu Nan. Thinking of those bastards, he couldn't help but ask, "Would you be reluctant to eat the ones you raised with your own hands?" What's more, it's this kind of furry rabbit, and Mu Nan has liked furry since he was a child, so it doesn't matter if they eat it or not, after all, there is so much meat in the space, let alone one-tenth, even twenty-tenth They haven't consumed any of them yet, and they really need to cultivate feelings. With the breeding strength of rabbits, they probably can't support this house.
Mu Nan looked at Qin Huai with the expression of what are you talking about: "Why can't you bear it? Spicy rabbit head, dry-stir-fried rabbit diced, sautéed rabbit leg, isn't the meat delicious? If I don't want to eat it, I will keep it, thanks. "
Qin Huai laughed, he shouldn't have asked a carnivore if he was willing to eat rabbit meat.
After feeding the rabbit and weeding, Mu Nan hopped downstairs with ease, saw the calendar hanging on the wall, and said, "Are you going to take your temperature today?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and Qin Bing's voice: "Please open the door and take your temperature."
The two happened to be on the first floor, Qin Huai picked up a coat and put it on before opening the door for someone.
Qin Bing trotted into the house with Qin Huai carrying a big bag, and Mu Nan stuffed him with a cup of hot tea: "You can drink it directly, this is not freshly boiled water."
After Qin Bing thanked him, he put the bag he was carrying on the ground, and then took out a piece of paper from his arms: "This is the details of the exchange, because I know that your family uses peppers and tomatoes to exchange, so the exchange materials are based on tomatoes and peppers." as a unit of quantity."
The last time he took his temperature, Qin Huai asked if he could use tomatoes and peppers for some seasonings. In addition to oil and salt, there are also soy sauce, oil, cumin, and thirteen spices. They brought some of these things from home. , although there are a lot in the space, not much is exposed outside. After making large-scale things several times, these things will naturally be less.
Another reason is that the tomatoes and peppers upstairs have grown to fruit, and they have to be harvested. Although they can be stored in the space, there is no need. Originally, Mu Nan planned to rely on planting to support his brother. A legitimate harvest of course requires a proper exchange of things, and it's nothing to be ashamed of. So when Qin Bing took out the exchange details, Mu Nan stretched his head to take a look.
Salt is a very important material, so it is a little more expensive. Ten catties of tomatoes are one catty of salt. After all, there are not many tomatoes in ten catties, but one catty of salt can last for a long time. The leaves are light and weightless. If you change them by weight, you will need more tomatoes and peppers.
Qin Bing said: "I brought the seasoning, but I don't know how much oil you want. If you don't have any at home in a hurry, I will bring it along during the inspection in two days. Take a look at these and see how much you want to change."
Qin Bing was carrying a large sack, which was quite a lot. Mu Nan asked, "Can I exchange it with new currency now? Our neighbors probably need it too, but I'm afraid they only have new currency."
Qin Bing shook his head: "I'm afraid the new currency transaction is not available for the time being. I don't have a machine in my hand. If I need it, I have to go to Building No. 1 by myself. There is a machine in Building No. 1 to use it. It should be possible to exchange it."
Mu Nan smiled and said, "It's just that there is no delivery service." He looked at Qin Huai and said, "Brother, how much do we want to change? I'll go up and pick it up."
Qin Huai said: "Pick off the cooked ones first, weigh how many are there, and replace them."
Mu Nan ran up to pick them, Qin Bing said: "Then you pick them first, I'll go and take the temperature of the next few households before coming over."
Mu Nan took two frames, a basket of tomatoes and a basket of peppers. Some of the peppers had grown a little red. Anyway, as long as they grew up, they could be eaten. Two frames were not enough for the harvest of the entire living room on the third floor. Some tomatoes or peppers are a little smaller, but Mu Nan didn't pick them, so they can eat them by themselves in the future.
After he took down the two big boxes, Qin Bing came back after measuring his body temperature, and weighed it with his portable scale. The salt was changed to three catties, the cumin was changed to two catties, and some other big ingredients Qinhuai I changed all of them, and I changed 20 catties of oil for the rest: "Don't worry about the oil, I still have it at home, just bring it over when it's convenient for me next time."
Qin Bing poured the tomatoes and peppers into the bag, and there was not much seasoning left, only a few catties of salt and cumin chili powder, and Qin Huai and the others kept everything else, but they replaced it with tomatoes and peppers. It is full of bags, and it is carried in when it comes in, and it is carried out when it goes out.
Qin Huai said to Mu Nan, "Go to the next door and ask them if they want to change."
Mu Nan said: "How do you plan to exchange it with them?" Although he would not be reluctant to give it away for nothing, he just thought it would be a bit too generous.
Qin Huai said: "You put a small name outside. If they want to change it, they can take the amount and write it down. When the Internet is connected, they will pay for it."
He wanted to give Mu Nan stewed meat. Although the two families are so far apart, there is no guarantee that the smell will not disperse. He asked Mu Nan to ask Jian Chu, just to pass the thing in his hand to a clearer way, so that they Neighbors will not be surprised by any smells in the house. Although it is a little troublesome to do so, since you want to live in groups, you can't completely ignore your left and right in this world.
Mu Nan thought it was okay, so he ran over from the garage and knocked on the door of Jian Chu's house. Because Xu Ming lived close to the garage, it was Xu Ming who opened the door. Mu Nan said directly: "My brother just changed a lot. The seasoning, do you have enough seasoning, do you want to change it?"
Jian Chu came over wearing slippers: "Change the seasoning? What's the matter?"
Mu Nan: "Oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and thirteen spices."
Things were piled up by Qin Huai in the living room on the first floor, illuminated by a small lamp, Xu Ming and Jian Chu and Yu Zibai both came over, the two of them ate together, they couldn't keep consuming other people's seasonings, so if they changed, Of course it is better to change together.
Jian Chu and the others were indeed short of seasonings. They originally thought that if Qin Huai and the others didn't change much, they wouldn't change it, but when they saw a lot of things in the living room, they were shocked: "There are so many."
Mu Nan said: "I replaced it with tomatoes. The tomatoes and peppers upstairs have grown a batch, and they will rot if you don't harvest them. So, do you want to change them to something durable?"
Of course they want it, Xu Ming said, "How?"
Mu Nan brought over the small scale and the small book: "Write down how many scales you change, and when the Internet is connected later, these things will be available for purchase from the official website. Just give us as much as you want at that time."
They all thought it was good, Xu Ming and Yu Zibai went to pick things up and said, Jianchu went to Mu Nan and asked him: "Can you play cards?"
Mu Nan looked at Jian Chu: "Mahjong? Are you going to make cards?" If it was poker, Jian Chu would definitely not ask him that. They played it last time, so asking this would only be about Mahjong. Thinking of Jian Chu As for the skill of making cards, he didn't dare to think about what kind of mahjong would be made, but he couldn't take out the mahjong in the space. It would be too unreasonable for them to bring mahjong with them when they came over.
Jian Chu said: "Where, isn't the family behind us surnamed Huang? Their family opened a mahjong room. When they were shoveling snow yesterday, they asked us if anyone wanted to play."
Mu Nan shook her head: "I don't play, and I don't know how to play, do you want to go?"
Jian Chu was indeed a little cautious: "Staying at home is still staying, it's too boring, and you can hear a lot of news if you get in touch with people more."
Mu Nan said: "Then don't go alone, let Yu Zibai go with you, otherwise it's not safe."
Jian Chu also felt that it was not safe to be alone, so he asked Mu Nan if he wanted to play together, but he didn't force Mu Nan if he didn't want to go. As for Yu Zibai, Jian Chu couldn't help shaking his head, let's forget it, he In his mind, he can only imagine the picture of Yu Zibai typing on the computer and eating books at home, but he can't imagine the picture of Yu Zibai playing mahjong. Next time he shovels the snow and ask Song Jia. If Song Jia is not interested, he can only give up the idea. It's too difficult to stay behind closed doors without electricity or internet.
