A mysterious global blackout causes schools to shut down, factories to stop operating, and all land, sea, and air transport to be suspended. Supermarkets are completely looted, and a greater crisis...
Chapter 150 Luxury
The radishes have not grown yet, and sea fish are an important source of food for them to feed the monkeys. If they can no longer break ice to fish in the future, it will not have any impact on them for the time being. However, in the long run, the food consumption will be huge, and they will have to speed up the construction of greenhouses to grow crops.
After all, it is not easy to take out the food in Jiang Si's space openly.
The visible food reserves on the icebreakers are the basis of everyone's peace of mind.
Jiang Si then asked the second brother, "Did the sea snake come up suddenly, or did it come up after a while?"
The second brother thought for a moment and replied, "We were fishing for about half an hour when a sea snake suddenly came up."
Red sea snakes generally live in the deep sea. It takes them at least half an hour to swim up from the deep sea. Following this rule will not prevent them from catching a lot of fish in a day.
After all, they have professional fishing devices, and one net can provide enough fish for the monkeys for two or three days.
Jiang Linhai said worriedly, "What if the snake suddenly pops out before half an hour?"
Jiang Sidao said, "The snakes' reaction speed on the shore is obviously slow. They still have time to run away, and it should also be possible to plug the hole in time."
She didn't know about others, but Qin Shen was able to carry several hundred kilograms at a time. She was sitting there fishing, and Qin Shen probably could kill the snake with one slap of his lid.
After this analysis, the red sea snake is not very dangerous.
Unless it falls completely into the water.
You have to be very careful about this.
The second brother and Brother Qiu made sure that all the snakes were dead before they climbed down the tree and prepared to pick up a snake to take back to study whether it was edible.
Jiang Si suddenly called out to them, "Since you're staying, we hope you're all doing well. We've prepared some limited food and bedding for you. Send someone to get it later."
The second brother and Qiu Ge were suddenly moved and said in a choked voice: "Thank you, thank you..."
Finally, I don’t have to eat chicken feed today!
Zhang Aihua and everyone were nervously waiting for the red sea snake to come to their door, but unexpectedly, there was no movement for a long time.
Song Yufang wondered, "Is this snake unable to find its way?"
Zhang Aihua couldn't help but laugh at her, "It's not good if you can't find the direction."
Zhang Yiwen said, "Dad, I'm starving. I want to eat fish."
Zhang Aihua looked troubled when talking about fish. He touched his head and said, "You didn't even get the fish back. Next time, Dad will definitely get you a fish."
Zhang Yiwen didn't cry or make a fuss. Instead, he showed his two rows of sparkling white teeth and pulled out two huge sea fish from his bulging clothes. "Dangdangdang, I'm quick, right? I can finally eat fish. I want to stew one and grill the other."
There were actually two fish hidden on my son’s body!
Zhang Aihua praised his cleverness and pinched his chubby cheeks. "Okay, let your mother make it for you."
Song Yufang hugged Zhang Yiwen and kissed him, "You are really my dearest."
She also really wants to eat fish!
I thought I couldn’t eat it today, and I wouldn’t be able to eat it in the future.
There really seems to be no way out.
The others looked envious, wishing they could just pick up a fish and take it with them.
Unfortunately, no.
Now all I can do is watch Song Yufang use a knife to clean the fish belly.
The offal alone made them envious.
After a while, Lao Er and Brother Qiu came back.
Seeing that they were holding a red sea snake, everyone was shocked, "Where's the snake? We only encountered one?"
The second brother quickly told everyone what they had seen.
After knowing that all the red sea snakes were dead on the ice, everyone's eyes fell on the plump bodies of the sea snakes.
They all said in unison: "This snake should be edible, right?"
There are several members of the extreme sports club who like to survive in the wild.
Eating poisonous snakes is such a trivial thing that it is not surprising to everyone.
I just haven't seen such a fat and beautiful venomous snake.
Lei Hu directly grabbed the venomous snake, first skillfully peeled off its skin from top to bottom, then chopped off the snake's head with a knife and said, "Eat it, it's definitely edible!"
When we were having a hard time on this road, we even had to pick out insects to eat. Now that we have snakes to eat, it’s a good life.
Soon, some women took over and offered to cook for it. Some members even said they would go to the beach to get some more red flower vipers so that everyone could eat their fill at once.
But Brother Qiu said another exciting news. Jiang Si wanted to give them some food and bedding to help them get through the temporary difficulties.
Everyone cheered. Today they had meat, food and a home. It was simply the happiest day they had ever had.
Zhang Aihua looked in the direction of the icebreaker and felt sincerely that her judgment was correct and it was right to stay.
Everyone originally had a feeling of being treated like slaves, but now that this thing is in place, it is equivalent to paying a salary. The one who pays the salary is the boss, the superior, and it is our duty to serve him.
Zhang Aihua personally led people to transport food, thinking that they could get within the range of the icebreaker.
Unexpectedly, they had no intention of letting them in.
When we arrived at the dividing mark carved on the tree, we saw Lu Zhifeng driving a transport truck and pulling the grain over.
On the transport vehicle, there were several snow-covered men wearing cotton coats, boots, and hats, holding guns in their hands, staring at them cautiously.
It seems that if they have any evil thoughts, they will be killed directly.
Everyone's mood, which had just relaxed, suddenly became tense again.
People can give them food with confidence, which means they must be confident. The monkeys can be raised to the point where they can serve as soldiers, which really makes them dare not have any rash thoughts.
Everyone unloaded the rice and wheat from the car in an orderly manner, feeling extremely excited.
It's been a long time since I had this kind of formal food.
In addition to bedding, some salt and seasonings were also given.
After Lu Zhifeng said thank you, everyone happily carried the things back.
Two bags per person is probably enough for them to eat for a week.
Although it’s not a lot, it’s a token of their thoughtfulness.
Originally, you didn't have to give anything.
Everyone looked at them moving the things back and immediately went forward to take them.
Touch this and touch that, it’s as lively and happy as the New Year.
Song Yufang touched the duck down quilt and said excitedly, "It's the same brand we used before. It's really generous!"
It is really a luxury to have this kind of bedding nowadays.
There are thirty beds with bedding, which is more than enough for everyone to cover themselves with.
Everyone separated the bags and found that they were filled with rice. They asked excitedly: "Rice, I wonder if we can grow it?"
This place is close to hot springs and the temperature is higher, so everyone has some hope of farming and becoming self-reliant.
Zhang Aihua, who had learned about the situation, shook his head and said, "It can't be grown. The radishes that can be grown are mutant varieties. This is ordinary rice, which can't adapt to such a cold climate unless there is a greenhouse."
