Returning ten years ago, with only two months left until the giant storm, Jing Shu began building her fortress, raising some endangered chickens, ducks, and fish, planting some vegetables that woul...
Chapter 777: Are we going to get to eat the pie we promised?
When you are freezing to the point of being unconscious, all other shortcomings in the store are not a big deal. Moreover, the weather is getting colder and colder, and even ordinary warm clothes are useless. If you can have an extra long-wool coat to keep out the wind and cold, at least you can walk outside.
Within a few days, Jingshu had a batch of long-haired coats with better quality, longer length and warmer insulation. Unlike the ones produced by the Worm Cake Factory, the clothes in his hands were specially made by the garment-making department of Wucheng Town Government.
That's right, there are places that buy clothes from the dead for a long time, buy all kinds of second-hand fabrics and clothing, then disassemble and wash these clothes, use the raw materials to make them into the supplies needed in the doomsday, and then sell them at market prices. In the doomsday, this place is called a garment factory.
There are professional tools and factories there, and the clothes made there are of better quality.
After Jingshu put on her down jacket, she put on a long fur coat with a hood that reached her ankles, and she felt an unparalleled sense of security.
"It's warm, even a little hot. I guess I can wear it outside when it's coldest next time."
The first batch of products from Long Hair Ball was quickly distributed. Since they were targeting high-end gifts, each coat in this batch was made with enough material. Except for those from the Worm Cake Factory, the length of the coats was made to the calf. After hundreds of pieces of clothing were given away, not a single one of them was wasted.
Jingshu alone gave away more than a hundred pieces to relatives and friends, one for each family member, and more than a dozen for families with more than one family member... A few days after sending the pieces to Yang Yang's house, Yang Yang came back and sent more than a dozen boxes of brown sugar, and wanted to buy some more at a high price to give to relatives.
Brown sugar is a luxury, and even Jingshu doesn't have much in stock. There is plenty of honey at home, but there is no sugarcane planted to extract brown sugar at any time. Fortunately, she only drinks it on small days, and usually boils some ginger to dispel the cold, but doesn't use it much for other purposes.
As for Jin Tianci, he helped Jingshu make so many coats, so he had to give some away as well, both for inner and outer use.
As soon as the item was delivered, they knew it was a good thing. It is so cold now, and this thing is even better than a down jacket.
Speaking of which, long-haired coats are basically not afraid of water, are not breathable, and are made of special materials so they won't break. Unlike cotton coats that become heavy when wet, down jackets become less warm the more you wash them.
The product of darkness is indeed very durable. This thing can basically not be broken.
Unfortunately, the production volume is low. Many people asked Jingshu if this thing could be mass-produced. If it could be made, it would be very rare and even a lot of heating fuel would be left over.
It was snowing again, just like I remembered. When it got cold enough, ice chips bigger than goose feathers started falling. Even in the villa, I could hear the rustling sound.
Once the snow starts to fall, it won't stop. The truly difficult times of the apocalypse are about to begin, and countless people will starve to death or freeze to death...
The snowflakes in the end times are much bigger than before, and they are not pure white snow, but a gray color after being polluted. When viewed in the dark night, they appear to be a beautiful silver color.
The long fur coat can also keep out the snow.
Every time Jing's mom and dad go to work, they have to wear coats, so the heavy snowflakes don't hit their faces, but pile up on their woolen clothes. When they get into the house, they just pat and shake them and they fall off. If they are cotton coats, they will melt when the temperature gets high, and the cotton coats will definitely get wet.
Jingshu conducted an experiment to breed long-haired balls, but nothing could be seen in the short term. Experiments No. 1, 2, and 4 all failed, and even the reproduction speed in the space was not satisfactory. The spiritual spring can accelerate reproduction, but it would be meaningless if the spiritual spring was used... Her spiritual spring's daily consumption and growth have basically reached the limit, and she still plans to save a little every day.
It seems that it is difficult to breed long-haired balls in large quantities.
If it were simple, everyone in the country would probably have a set of long woolen clothes to wear by now.
But Jingshu did not give up. She continued to record various indicators and experimental methods every day. At that time, she found a way to cultivate red nematodes.
"You can't go anywhere during this period. Stay at home and help me prepare New Year's goods. How can I, an old man like me, prepare so many things?" Grandma Jing kept muttering while holding Jingshu's hand. There was really no one else at home. Zijin, who could talk to her the most, was not here, and Wu Youai was not here either. Jingshu was the only granddaughter left, and she didn't dare to let go.
Speaking of
Zijin, Jingshu plans to find her back in a few months. Because she didn't exist in the previous life, Zijin stayed here obediently. Now that she is with her in this life, Zijin has done what she wanted to do. But no matter what, it is safer to bring Zijin with her to watch over her before the migration.
"Grandma, the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the weather is getting worse. Natural gas will be even more scarce in the future. We should cook everything we need and freeze it."
In the past, Jingshu could at least make a semi-finished product, but now she can’t do that.
Jingshu had emphasized this a long time ago, and Jingnai doesn't object now either. We should always store more. She's just afraid that one day the natural gas will be cut off and we won't be able to cook. What will the whole family eat?
We don't plan to keep more livestock this year. The situation in Wucheng is not so bad. Many people starved to death or froze to death in Xinlan and several surrounding cities after the heavy snow. I heard that many people flocked to Wucheng. The security in Wucheng has been very strict recently. Many refugees wanted to sneak into Wucheng before. At least they had a meal every day. Now it's so cold, there must be people sneaking in through various passages.
In short, Jingnai, who was afraid that her family's situation would be exposed, slaughtered more than half of the chickens and ducks. "Let's keep fewer livestock this year and see how things go next year."
"Okay, don't breed the dinosaur chickens for now, to avoid being targeted by those with ulterior motives."
Dinosaur Chicken: Thank you for letting me take a breath, I really don’t want to be a breeder chicken! !
The snow will keep falling, either heavy or light, and the roads will be blocked, as if the whole world is buried under the snow. When all the houses are covered with snow and even snow cannot be cleared, the people of Wucheng have never thought of leaving this land. The end of the world has come, so why not live there?
"Well, we still have to go through it again."
Just when Jingshu couldn't tell what she felt, the document for rewarding her for her merits finally arrived.
Although the efficiency of Wucheng Town Government is a bit slow, they are indeed doing the work. Junjia promised earlier that the two carts of insect cakes she contributed, as well as various subsequent events, were recorded on the internal "contribution value" wall.
Hi, to put it bluntly, the intranet has allocated a big pie for you.
Jingshu was very familiar with this routine. The Pharmaceutical Association also had an internal contribution value. The higher the contribution value, the more internal items could be exchanged for each level unlocked.
Jingshu’s contribution to the Pharmaceutical Association so far cannot be exchanged for the most confidential thing, so that thing is for you to see.
I was very excited at first, but later I became much calmer.
But today, Jun Bao, the man who had just taken office and had already made a lot of progress, told her casually, "Your contribution points can unlock the most important things. Do you want to come and see and exchange them for something?"
