Chapter 161 Why not shave the eggplant?
"I heard that the government has already researched drought-resistant seeds and built glass greenhouses."
"We are now recruiting people who can grow vegetables. Do you want to go?"
Liang Xiu may have felt that what he said was inappropriate, so he quickly explained.
"Although you have stockpiled a lot of food before, we don't know when the apocalypse will end, so we still need to prepare for a rainy day."
"If you work, you can earn points to exchange for food. You can eat the food you stockpiled slowly."
Meng Ci knew that Liang Xiu meant this for their own good, but thinking about how hot it was outside, it would be impossible for him to work, not to mention that he could grow crops in his space.
"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Liang."
"But it's too hot outside, so I decided not to go."
Liang Xiu took a look at Meng Ci's fair and tender appearance, and saw that he was indeed a young master who was ignorant of the world before the end of the world, so he gave up the idea of letting him go out to work.
Then he thought about whether he should find another job to support the young master and repay Meng Wan for her initial financial support.
"However, Uncle Liang, you said that the government has developed drought-resistant seeds. Can we ordinary people get them?" Meng Ci asked curiously after finishing the rabbit soup in the bowl.
Liang Xiu thought about it and realized that he had not heard of this yet.
"I'll go ask tomorrow."
"Okay." Meng Ci nodded.
Then Meng Ci began to plan. There was a large open space in the yard, more than 100 square meters.
In addition to an air conditioner outdoor unit, there is also open space in the backyard of the villa, which can be used to grow your own vegetables.
After dinner, Liang Xiu took the initiative to wash the dishes.
And Shen Que and Meng Ci were not idle either, they cleaned the house.
By the way, I stuffed the eggplant into the bathroom and took a bath with it.
"Eggplant, are you hot?"
While blow-drying the eggplant, Meng Ci pulled at its thick hair.
The temperature outside is over 50 degrees Celsius now. Eggplant is covered with hair, so it must be very hot even in space.
Liang Xiu was sitting on the side, reading a book on vegetable planting. When he heard this, he said, "It stuck out its tongue on the way back today."
"It must be hot."
Meng Ci nodded, touched the hair on the eggplant and said, "Why don't we shave it off?"
Then he went into his room and took out a hair clipper from the space.
This hair clipper is electric and makes a crackling sound when it is turned on.
Eggplant, who was standing obediently on the ground waiting to be shaved, moved his ears when he heard the sound, which was so close to his body that it even vibrated a little, which scared Eggplant.
"Hey, Eggplant, don't move!"
Because the eggplant struggled, the hair clipper accidentally left a cut on its body.
And it's still bleeding.
Now, it was even more impossible for Eggplant to let Meng Ci shave him. He lay in the corner feeling aggrieved, licking his wounds sadly.
But when Meng Ci took a look, he saw that the hair on the eggplant had fallen off a little, forming a small pit, which looked uncomfortable.
Besides, a short pain is worse than a long one. If the eggplant is not shaved, it will only get hotter.
So Meng Ci called Chen Que and Liang Xiu to come together and hold down the 1.5-meter-long eggplant.
It took nearly an hour to kick all the fur out amid Eggplant's wailing.
After shaving off all the hair on his body, Qiezi felt like he couldn't even walk.
Although I felt cooler, I no longer had any privacy.
It was Meng Ci who even shaved the hair under its belly.
"Don't mention it, Eggplant is quite capable."
When Meng Ci was packing up the hair clipper, he saw something under Eggplant's belly. He boldly stretched out his finger and flicked it. Eggplant jumped up in fright and hid behind the sofa, trembling.
The two men next to him saw Meng Ci's action and couldn't help but tighten their legs.
Especially Chen Que, who was afraid that if he failed to satisfy Meng Ci in bed one day, he would probably ruin him.
So Shen Que planned in his mind to train his body more and try to make sure Meng Ci didn't have the strength to hurt his little brother.
Meng Ci, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly shuddered, not knowing that his unintentional action would put his position in even greater danger in the future.
When shaving, because of Eggplant's struggle, a lot of hair got stuck on the three of them, so they lined up to take a shower one by one.
The water system was damaged during the heavy rains and even now cannot be repaired.
Fortunately, this is a mountain.
When the extreme cold ended, the authorities sent a group of professionals to find some springs everywhere on the mountain, fence them off, and then bury pipes.
They also built a simple reservoir to store water, which was then pumped to each household.
However, this water also requires points.
And if you want to use water, you have to pay the water bill first. Half a ton of water costs 150 points.
There is nothing we can do about the high water price.
After all, there are limited springs on the mountain, and charging allows everyone to cherish water. Otherwise, it would be like free electricity, and some people would leave lights on all night.
At first, when the residents heard that there would be a charge for water, they were naturally unwilling to pay. Besides, they all had to work at the foot of the mountain, so they all took buckets of water from the river in M City.
But the water had become turbid for some reason, and the water had to sink in the bucket for two or three days before it could be consumed.
And it tastes weird.
However, later on, the authorities built a set of sewage treatment equipment to treat the river water.
However, the water treatment effect is average and has no disinfection function, so it must be boiled before use.
But this water is much cheaper than mountain spring water. One ton of water only costs 150 points, which is half the price of mountain spring water.
Therefore, the official added a function to the points card, which allows the points card to be used as a water card.
However, Meng Ci found it troublesome, and he had a lot of points, so he was not afraid of consumption at all, so he used mountain spring water.
If you really have no points left, you can pick some things from the space to exchange.
If it really doesn't work, you can go kill some wild animals. I heard that wild animals like tigers and wolves are living well in the mountains.
After washing up, the three of them went back to their rooms to sleep.
Although the air conditioner was on in the room, Shen Que was very irritable and liked to sleep with Meng Ci in his arms.
It is sweet in extreme cold, but a sweet burden in extreme heat.
Seeing that Chen Que was still trying to get closer, Meng Ci used his foot to hold back Chen Que's body.
"Well, there is another room that is empty."
"If you like to hold something when you sleep at night, you can sleep over there."
“Here!” Meng Ci took out a puppy pillow from the space and handed it to Chen Que.
"You can hold it when you sleep at night."
After saying that, Meng Ci stuffed the pillow into Chen Que's arms, then wrapped the thin quilt under him, turned around on the bed, and moved away from Chen Que.
Shen Que looked at the pillow in his arms with particular disgust.
What's so good about holding this thing? It's far less comfortable than the one Meng Ci holds.
So Shen Que threw him on the sofa in the room, pounced on him and hugged Meng Ci in his arms.
When my wife is in my arms, hugging a pillow is nothing, and we must never sleep in separate rooms.
"No." Shen Que refused.
