Chapter 212: Shen Que, How Long Have We Been Here?
"Shen Que, do you think we will have a few more little wolves or puppies next year?"
Meng Ci and Shen Que, each holding half a watermelon, sat down on the steps in front of the house. Seeing Eggplant and Eagle being affectionate in the distance, they couldn't help but sigh.
"Difficult!" Shen Que said.
After all, the current situation is that Eggplant is unilaterally pestering Eagle, and Eagle just doesn't refuse.
What's more, there has been no substantial progress so far.
"Oh!" Meng Ci sighed, feeling that Qiezi's road to finding his wife was long.
Then he thought, this is good, Qiezi has company and won't feel lonely, and not having children also reduces the burden on Meng Ci and the others.
Otherwise, the eagle will give birth to six babies, and the meat stored in his space may not last for a few days.
Meng Ci and Shen Que rested well in the space and washed up before leaving.
"Shen Que, how many hours have we been in space?"
Meng Ci left the space and his eyes were hurt by the white scene in front of him.
He clearly remembered that it was already past five in the afternoon before he entered the space. How come the weather hadn't changed after being inside for so long?
Shen Que was also a little stunned at first, but he quickly reacted.
"It should be midnight!"
Meng Ci also remembered that the polar day would come soon after the locusts.
I checked the time on my phone, it was 21:15, and it was definitely midnight.
The house was originally equipped with blackout curtains, so there is no need to worry about the arrival of polar day.
The two people were already prepared and just continued to do their own things.
Shen Que went to the kitchen to cook, while Meng Ci asked Xiong Ying to continue taking a bath.
The scar on the eagle's head has gradually faded and has grown some hair, so it no longer looks as scary as before.
Just two days after the polar day, Chen Que went out alone, found Zheng Yan, and asked him if he could get some machinery for mechanical farming.
As for why Meng Ci did not go with them, it was naturally because he was afraid that Zheng Yan would give him some strange things again.
Since the base has been farming all the time, this kind of machine is easy to find.
Shen Que gave Zheng Yan three boxes of cigarettes and three condoms.
Zheng Yan had a wide network of contacts, and within two days he had brought the tillage machine.
Although this machine is only 30% new, its unique advantage is that it can be started by adding diesel without consuming too much effort.
On the day of picking up the goods, Shen Que followed Meng Ci's advice and took Eggplant with him.
As a result, Eggplant, who was a good-for-nothing, insisted on taking the eagle with him.
After seeing the wolf and dog brought by Shen Que, Zheng Yan felt uneasy, fearing that he would be bitten by the two wolfhounds with fangs.
Therefore, after taking the things given by Chen Que, he left in a hurry.
Oh my god! These two brothers are really extraordinary. Even in the end of the world, they can still raise two animals so fat and strong.
I guess the two of them had a hard time in the last days.
I just thought that the two of them didn’t have any calluses on their hands, so it didn’t look like they were having a hard life.
Could it be that these two people are rich people?
Zheng Yan thought about the off-road vehicles driven by his two older brothers and felt that he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.
And Shen Que was very satisfied with Zheng Yan's reaction, because he didn't want to communicate with others at all.
After all, this guy is not only very outgoing but also talkative and difficult to deal with.
It was polar day now, and it was impossible to put the tiller into the space under the cover of night, so Shen Que could only send Eggplant and Eagle to check if there was anyone nearby.
After making sure that there was no one around, Shen Que directly put his things into the space and then returned home.
In the past, they raised an eggplant, and the food it ate in one meal was equivalent to the food ration of Meng Ci and Shen Que for a day.
When the eagle first arrived at the home, it was a little reserved and didn't eat much. But now that it has become familiar with them, its appetite is even greater than that of an eggplant.
In order to prevent them from going hungry, the two owners steamed a lot of rice for later use, and of course they continued to use the noodle making machine.
The two of them spent more than a day in the space, pressing five bags of flour and steaming three bags of rice at one time.
I also made various stir-fried dishes!
Compared with other severe weather conditions, polar day lasts longer, about a year.
The polar day lasts 24 hours, so residents began to choose their own working hours.
Therefore, the official staff also changed their working hours to three shifts.
People have more working time, and grains are exposed to enough light, so they can be artificially controlled to undergo light and dark reactions, and thus the output of various grains has greatly increased.
As a result, residents no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat. Correspondingly, originally one kilogram of grain could be exchanged for ten points, but now one kilogram of grain can only be exchanged for five points.
Correspondingly, with more food, livestock eat more, so the price of meat also decreases.
The residents’ food has improved and they are no longer as pale and skinny as before. They go to work every day with a smile on their faces, full of energy.
Everyone thought the world was about to end, but they didn't know there were devastating zombies waiting behind.
Especially ordinary people at that time, not only did they have to avoid zombies, but they also had to be bullied by people with special powers.
With the temperature now between 35 and 40 degrees, the authorities have not given up on drilling various wells to obtain water.
After persistent digging, a lot of groundwater was found, but it was still a drop in the bucket, so the water price increased by one third.
One month after the polar day, Meng Ci and Shen Que met Zheng Yan, who was smiling happily, when they were changing water at the item exchange point.
"Brother, my boss is back!"
"And he brought back the flour mill you needed."
When Zheng Yan mentioned the flour mill, he sighed in his heart. Now that grain prices have dropped, maybe these two people will stop farming and will not need the flour mill anymore.
All the hard work the boss went through to get the flour mill back was in vain.
But in this case, if the other party is unwilling to change, then there is nothing they can do!
When Meng Ci heard this, his eyes lit up!
"Really? When can we exchange?"
Meng Ci didn't know what was wrong with Zheng Yan, and was a little excited when he heard that the flour mill had returned.
After all, there is no need to worry about the flour being eaten up.
"Anytime!"
Seeing that Meng Ci wanted more, Zheng Yan excitedly said that he could give it to him at any time, as he was afraid that this thing would be wasted in his hands.
"Okay!" Meng Ci nodded.
"Today at 3 o'clock, I will choose a place to trade."
"Okay!" Zheng Yan turned around and left to tell his boss the good news.
When the time came, Meng Ci and Shen Que drove out in an SUV. After delivering the goods to Zheng Yan, he did not stay for long and left directly.
And Shen Que was driving, blocking most of the sight, and after making sure that there was no one around, Meng Ci put the things into the space.
This time, Shen Que drove out of the base, took a turn, and then stored the off-road vehicle in a deserted place. The two men, the wolf, and the dog slowly returned to the base.
After I got the flour grinder, I tried it out when I got home.
Although I was not very skilled at the beginning and was clumsy in the operation, it became quite convenient to operate after I became familiar with it.
Perhaps the wheat is produced from the base, so the flour ground from it is whiter and the noodles made from it are more fragrant.
