MTL - Natural Disaster Apocalypse-Chapter 140
The pork that Yu Feng brought was not too much, just a piece of fat and thin pork belly, probably a little more than a catty, but in the current environment, let alone a catty of meat, even if there is no place to get a few taels of meat, the key is It's still fresh, not the frozen kind, so the meat can't be kept at all, it must be cooked right away, otherwise it will go bad after a long time even if it is kept in an air-conditioned room at this temperature.
Qin Huai took the meat directly: "Let's make braised pork, Nan Nan, you go home and bring some rock sugar." The other big ingredients were brought here before because they were going to roast rabbits, but Yu Fengfeng did not expect to bring pork belly , Naturally, there will be no rock sugar.
Before Mu Nan got up, Jian Chu said: "You don't need to go back to get it, my house has it, it's sealed tightly, and it hasn't been damaged by the flood."
A catty of pork belly can't make much braised pork. There are twelve of them now. Qin Huai gestured to cut the meat into twelve equal cubes. Cooking wine is really unconditional. Even if they have it at home, it's not The things that can be taken out now can only be made less delicate.
In fact, the best thing to do is to make dumplings and make dumplings with meat paste, so that everyone feels like they can eat a lot of meat, at least much better than the braised pork with only one piece for each person, but since it is an indulgent dinner, Then let's indulge, eat ten dumplings, but still not satisfied with a whole mouthful of braised pork.
There was no need to go back to get rock candy, Mu Nan squatted there and pulled potatoes. Seeing that there were still a lot of potatoes in it, at least a dozen or so, she couldn't help but said, "Can you give me one of these potatoes? I want to go back and see." Finally, there was one The above-board source of planting must be grasped.
Yu Feng said: "You are free to eat it or keep it all for breeding."
As he spoke, he was worried that they thought potatoes were too precious and they were reluctant to eat them. After all, there were no potatoes on the market at all, so he said, "Soon there will be more potatoes. Now the farm has already harvested a small part, and we will grab them before the flood comes." Yes, although there are not many, but at least there are planting conditions, and now potatoes are being planted in large quantities, and after a while, I am afraid that you will only be able to buy potatoes as your staple food online."
Song Jia was a little surprised: "So it's not that there is no harvest at all, there is still a harvest?"
Yu Feng nodded: "For sure, since we can receive the news of the flood in advance and mobilize to evacuate, we must grab some of them, but there are not many. At present, some of them cannot afford the food consumption of the entire residential area, so in the new batch Before the crops grow, I am afraid that there will be some hardships, but it will be good to get through it, and it happens that you are also growing vegetables at home, so you can save some food when the time comes, and you will be better than others."
Yu Feng's words reassured everyone, because he brought quite a lot of potatoes, and finally took out four, two were cut into pieces and roasted with rabbit meat, one was cut into strips of French fries, and the other was cut into pieces Shredded to make potato pancakes. As for the rest, there were just two in the family. Because Xu Ming didn't mess with these things, he didn't want them, so he took two more into the kitchen, and he could also fry a plate of hot and sour potato shreds. Haven't had it for two years.
Poker came in handy again, Mu Nan didn't play, and sat on the sidelines to pat the dog's head. Among the few girls, Tu Juan, who had a sharp personality, represented them and fought against the landlord. Seeing that the kitchen might have to be busy for a while, Xu Ming went upstairs first to wash and change clothes. This one just came back from the farm and has been in contact with animals, so it's better to wash it.
Yu Feng unceremoniously followed behind him, Xu Ming turned his head and smiled slightly: "You can sit there and wait for your meal."
Yu Feng leaned closer and whispered, "In fact, there are secrets in this house."
Xu Ming looked at him suspiciously. He had lived here for more than a year anyway. Although he didn't make any big moves in the house, he moved in the bare house before, so there was no secret.
Seeing Yu Feng looking at him seriously, Xu Ming felt his forehead twitching. He thought that when he met him on the farm, the way he was introducing himself was really good at bluffing people. In addition, before meeting him on the farm, because the Huang family They had seen Mu Nan being attacked before the explosion. The image of a veteran who had the courage to save others was still very positive in his heart.
As a result, this person seems to never be serious for more than three minutes. It can be seen from the behavior of not forgetting to catch three pigs when he fled before. I am afraid that discipline and rules have little to do with him, especially on the farm. He had to share the spoils with him after burning the rice to eat. If the heavy and burnt rice hadn't been stuffed into his pocket, he couldn't have imagined that this person would do it.
Just when his impression of Feng fell from an upright soldier to an unethical gangster, it happened before his eyes that he risked his life to save more than a dozen lives in the surging flood.
Let’s say that he is not upright, and his stalwart figure in times of crisis cannot be faked, let’s say that he is upright, and he is able to do things that even children with red scarves would not do.
So when Yu Feng told him that there were secrets in this house in a serious manner, Xu Ming didn't believe it at all, but felt that he was holding back some evil tricks: "If you want to say that there are people who died in this house or If there are ghosts and the like, then there is no need, I am not afraid of them."
Yu Feng clicked his tongue lightly, and looked at him with a sense of grievance and helplessness: "In your eyes, am I such a boring person?"
Xu Ming gave him an "otherwise" look, not only bored, but also thick-skinned. He sneaked a glimpse of him discussing dinner with his friends in the compound, and showed him his age with a burly face. Wanting to get money, but being rejected and not knowing how to get it from Qin Huai, people with thick skins can't do this kind of thing.
Yu Feng stepped forward and took Xu Ming's hand and walked upstairs. He was very familiar with this house. No change, he can walk with his eyes closed.
Xu Ming shook off his hand: "Believe it or not, I'll **** you with a needle."
Yu Feng hurriedly let go, probably with lingering fear in his heart, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "The little veterinarian is really evil."
Xu Ming subconsciously took a deep breath, why can someone constantly challenge the bottom line of human mania, why don't you keep a distance and be a moderately social good friend, just like him and Yu Zibai Munan, that is the correct way to get along Way.
Mu Nan brought out a plate of French fries sprinkled with cumin to satisfy everyone's hunger. Soaking in water to remove the starch must not be the condition. After all, the water limit is limited every day, and I'm afraid I have to wash the dishes. If you can save some, save some: "Come and taste it."
Jian Chu was the first to rush over: "Cumin fragrance, I haven't eaten this kind of fried food for a long time."
Although Yu Zibai didn't want to spoil the fun, he was afraid that he would end up feeling uncomfortable if he had no restraint: "Eat less." It was cumin pepper and fried in heavy oil. After eating light food for such a long time, it suddenly became normal People can't bear it, let alone he is still recuperating his stomach.
Mu Nan put the plate in the middle of the coffee table: "If you want to eat, take it yourself, where are Xu Ming and Yu Feng?"
Song Jia is not afraid of burning a stick in one hand and eats deliciously: "I just went upstairs, I don't know why I went there."
Mu Nan walked up to the stairs and peeked up, thought for a while and then didn't call out, in case someone had something important to say.
Fighting the Landlords was very lively. The people who watched the cards were more excited than those who played the cards. Mu Nan had no interest in cards. It seemed that his father hadn’t inherited this at all. I can still remember what kind of card was played in which game, and I sighed with regret and talked about how I should play it at that time.
If it were him, he would have forgotten what cards he had in his hand after the round he had just played.
So Mu Nan couldn't quite understand the excitement over there. He was blushing because of when the bombs were released, how to dismantle the chains, and how to make the pair. brother cooking.
Wu Zheng also knows how to cook, except that the rabbit is cooked by Qin Huai, all other dishes are cooked by Wu Zheng. Seeing Mu Nan standing at the door watching, Wu Zheng turned around and smiled: "Well, the cooking is no worse than your brother's. Bar?"
Mu Nan smiled and said, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Wu Zheng: "Usually if you ask this way, the truth must not sound good, but I still want to hear the truth."
Mu Nan: "My brother is the best in the world, no one can compare hahahahaha!"
Qin Huai looked back at him, and the smile on his mouth never faded.
Wu Zheng couldn't help shaking: "Sweet people have toothaches."
Yang Jing was also helping in the kitchen, peeling potatoes, shredding, and kneading noodles. He couldn't be idle for a moment. It was rare for him to communicate and have dinner with these big men like friends. He couldn't help asking curiously: "I heard that you guys It’s neighbors, do you have that kind of group where everyone has the same sexual orientation, that’s why you know each other?”
Mu Nan said: "Are you asking about us and Jian Chu? No, we are just neighbors. We only got to know each other when we were locked up at home during the smog period. In normal times, we were all busy with our own business. We didn't even meet each other. The ones who said hello, if they hadn't been in touch during the time they were locked up at home, they probably wouldn't get along as well as they do now."
Yang Jing snorted: "I thought you guys had a resource exchange group, after all, your sexual orientation can be regarded as a minority, but you can get together and find someone with such a good and worthy relationship, you are very lucky Alright."
Mu Nan rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed and said: "It's quite lucky."
Sexual orientation, if it wasn't for his brother coming back early in this life, and teasing him secretly, he might not know that his sexual orientation is male, or his sexual orientation is only his brother, because only It's because he can't bear to think about kissing and hugging other men, whether they are good-looking or ordinary.
Wu Zheng said: "This is fate, right? Jian Chu and Yu Zibai are alumni, and they have known each other for a long time. The two of them have known each other even earlier, since they were born. If a person can have such a relationship once in a lifetime, it is considered It's worth it."
It is precisely because I have seen so much trivial matters and enemies in such difficult days that I feel how precious the couple around me are, so what about the minority sexual orientation, as long as they live happily, it is better than anything else.
Yang Jing is quite curious about them. It's not about the love life of gossiping people. She is not so gossip. She is just curious about how such a group of people who have nothing to do with each other before the end of the world get along like a family now. There are usually no differences in major matters, and they can help each other, but there are always a lot of small conflicts. They can even quarrel over the hair that falls on the ground. It's not like these men, they get along so comfortably.
Qin Huai has been concentrating on cooking, and rarely speaks, unless Yang Jing calls him by name, and will respond out of politeness.
Then only Mu Nan, who had nothing to do, and Wu Zheng, who avoided the cold, responded one by one. In the end, Mu Nan's mouth was dry after chatting, so the entire social interaction in the kitchen was transferred to Wu Zheng's hands. , he was going to drink water, and the girl chatted, and he couldn't bear it at all.
When he went out, he saw Song Jia and Jian Chu sharing the last two French fries on the plate with each other, and immediately said: "Wow, you two!"
Song Jia and Jian Chu turned their heads to look at him at the same time, and then stuffed the French fries in their hands into their mouths tacitly. They are really good brothers.
Seeing the people making a fuss over a piece of French fries, Yang Jing silently looked away. Well, in fact, they didn't love each other that much, it was because she was too superficial.
When the meal was almost ready, Xu Ming and Yu Feng came downstairs one after the other, but Xu Ming's face was very dark, and Yu Feng followed behind with a smile.
The people who were playing cards didn't notice them, but Mu Nan, who was idle and wandering around the field, saw them at a glance, and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Xu Ming said: "Do you think normal people would do such a thing as putting dried peanuts, red dates and coins on the ceiling of the lamp tube?"
Mu Nan was full of question marks, and Yu Feng followed behind and said, "What's wrong? Isn't that my sister's wedding room? Peanuts, red dates, and coins have such good meanings. It's a pity. I thought they could be eaten after they were dug out. , Isn’t that dry goods, it breaks down so quickly.”
Xu Ming only felt that the veins on his forehead were swelling, and he endured it again and again: "I will move to the farm tonight."
Yu Feng: "The environment on the farm is so uncomfortable. I'll just clean it up for you. Soon, I'll clean it up for you after dinner."
Xu Ming glanced at him: "No need, I'll clean it up myself." Although the thing on it was done by this guy, but at that time the house belonged to someone else, so they can do whatever they want, but now they can't Occupied someone else's house, and asked the original owner to deal with the aftermath.
He felt that he was on the verge of eruption, but this man never knew what is enough, so he put his arms around his shoulders directly: "We are all friends, so what are you doing out of sight? If it’s not soaked in water, the jujube and peanuts look edible.”
Xu Ming felt that he was already quite polite. He didn't lose his temper or get angry, and he could still talk to him in a nice voice. He felt that his endurance of more than 20 years and almost 30 years could really break through a limit again today. .
Mu Nan looked left and right, still confused: "So... what's wrong?"
Yu Feng still smiled, and explained kindly: "Didn't my sister buy this house for her wedding at the beginning? It’s all done, I see that there’s room for the spotlights on the ceiling, I sprinkled some peanuts, red dates and one dollar coins on it back then, it’s a good implication of having a baby early and making a fortune, right?”
Mu Nan nodded in confusion, the meaning is good, but can these things be placed on the ceiling? How dirty and difficult to clean.
Yu Feng said: "Isn't this a picture of auspiciousness for entering the house? Besides, the house was originally planned to be redecorated. My sister doesn't like the hardcover model of the unified matching. When the time comes to re-do the suspended ceiling, the things on it will be different." Just cleaned it up, who knows so many things will happen later."
Mu Nan asked curiously, "Then what's going on up there now? Is it only on the third floor?"
Yu Feng: "There are only bedrooms on the third floor. After all, it's the master bedroom of the wedding house. I didn't think of it before, but as soon as I remembered it, I hurried over to deal with the aftermath."
Yu Feng really didn't think about it. He would do this kind of thing at the beginning, it was purely for fun, after all, he would have to reinstall it later, of course it is impossible to keep peanuts and red dates on it all the time, wouldn't that provoke mice? Yes, as a result he forgot about a bunch of things, and then suddenly one day he remembered what he had done before, but that was after the flood, there was food on the roof, and there might even be water in it, The moldy things were soaked in water, just thinking about Xu Ming's cleanliness, he felt as if he had offended someone again, so he hurried to deal with the aftermath.
Xu Ming looked at him and said word by word, "I really thank you for remembering that you did this."
Yu Feng showed his white teeth: "You're welcome."
Mu Nan smelled a trace of gunpowder, and seeing his brother's roasted rabbit was out of the pot, he hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield, and decided that when he got home, he must climb up to see if there was anything in the ceiling of his home. This weird thing will happen.
A table full of dishes, although there is no wine or drink, and there are not many varieties of dishes. After all, the main ingredients are only those, but a pot of potatoes, rabbit cubes and braised pork is enough to enrich the lack of oil and salt. up.
Everyone opened a toast with a cup of cool white, and there was no need to say the official opening words. After Chef Qin's words started, everyone put down their chopsticks one after another.
A mouthful of hot and sour potato shreds can be served with a bowl of white rice, not to mention braised pork and tiger skin peppers. In addition to this, there is also tomato salad, which is both fruit and vegetable. It tastes like chilled in the refrigerator , It's even more refreshing.
Fortunately, tomatoes and green peppers are considered to be durable. Although they knew that his tomatoes and peppers had been uprooted, it is possible that there are still a few in stock, so Mu Nan directly brought a few overripe ones. Extra meal.
While eating, everyone chatted about how they lived in the past and what might happen in the future. One of the Qin Bing troops and one of Yufeng Farm worked, and they knew more things than those who were locked in the house. There were a lot more of them, plus Yu Zibai, who was meticulous and detail-oriented, and Qin Huai, who was far-sighted, the conversation between the few of them was like drinking wine.
They chatted very lively, Mu Nan, Song Jia and Jian Chu ate the rabbit meat very happily, fearing that the girls would be too reserved, they poured out half of the rabbit meat and put it on the girl's side.
Song Jia: "Delicious is delicious, but the bones are too thin, and there is not much meat."
Jian Chu: "If you want to eat meat, you can raise pigs, which don't have many bones, but are full of meat."
Mu Nan turned to Yu Feng and asked, "Do you sell the pigs on the farm? Little pigs, the live ones."
Yu Feng shook his head: "Not for sale. It's not easy to keep this animal now. I'm afraid that it will die in a disaster. The ranch is full of farmers and experts of various professions to watch over it, and a veterinarian is specially assigned to keep an eye on its health. You How much attention is paid to it, how can it be sold to ordinary people for breeding, now there is no such condition."
Mu Nan looked at Song Jia: "It's a pity, it can't be raised, you should grow grass and eat this thin-boned rabbit meat."
Song Jia rolled her eyes: "If I can sell it, I won't raise it. Where can I raise it? At home? Can people still live in that home?"
Tu Juan said: "You can raise them on the first floor. Build a stone trough and build a pigsty at your back door. As long as you clean it regularly, raising pigs is actually not that dirty."
Song Jia and the others turned to look at her: "You will?"
Tu Juan smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with this. My family has always raised pigs, but it is not the scale of a farm. I only raise one or two at home. When I grow up, I kill and eat meat. The pigs are small I cook all the food."
Jian Chu immediately put his business mind on the line: "In the future, we can raise pigs. How about we buy piglets for you to raise? Donate from the front yard, install the ceiling and install air conditioners, and give you the fattest piglets when they grow up."
Yu Zibai patted Jian Chu's head: "Eat more meat and less fantasy."
Jian Chu immediately responded to him: "People still have dreams, what if they come true."
After eating and drinking, they went back to their respective homes. It had been a long time since they had eaten such delicious food. The last plate of braised pork soup was mixed with a large bowl of rice and shared.
Qin Bing's return to the base must have been decided, but he didn't know when he would leave. They probably left when they said they would go, and they didn't say that they would send them off at that time. I don’t have a car, I just keep in touch, I will have delicious food in the future, and I will come back to get together when I find a chance.
When Mu Nan rubbed his stuffed belly and followed Qin Huai to the upstairs of his house, he said, "The pre-planting plan caused by raising pigs was suppressed by me."
Qin Huai followed his words and said, "What's the matter?"
Mu Nan: "Before eating meat, I said that rabbit meat is not very tasty, and there are not many thin bones. Jian Chu said to raise pigs, but he refused to raise them. Jian Chu casually said that you are allowed to toss in the yard. Song Jia I feel that our yard can’t be empty. There are no pigs, so let’s grow vegetables. I want to build a roof, install an air conditioner, and grow vegetables under temperature control. The space is so large that girls can also help occasionally Take care of it, it is equivalent to the property of the compound, and then I refused."
Qin Huai smiled: "Why did you refuse?"
Mu Nan quickly analyzed with him: "It's too unsafe. You see, food will become more and more scarce in the future. If we don't see people in the backyard, then there is no problem with planting, but people who come in and out of the front yard will always have to open the door. In case one day you are unlucky and someone sees it, people have nothing to eat or drink, we live in a small house with a yard, and we grow a yard of vegetables, good guy, we will be sorry for this yard if we don’t come to rob dishes."
Qin Huai rubbed Mu Nan's head, and praised: "That's right, thinking long-term and comprehensively, the front yard can't do anything, it can only be empty, unless after a year or two the whole environment gradually improves, people No one is short of that bite, and that kind of food can do anything.”
After being praised, Mu Nan walked back to the room with a jumping posture. He also has brains, but Qin Huai is always there for everything, so he doesn't bother to think about it. Once he thinks about it, his brain can still be used.
