Chapter 515: Mudslides in the Fourth Year
Jingshu hesitated for a moment, then honestly grabbed the red envelope. The bright red 0.01 showed no mercy. Jingshu turned off her phone and just wanted to be quiet.
I will never grab red envelopes again next time.
It was not until Jing's father and mother each sent her a red envelope of 600 virtual coins that the 26-year-old Jingshu felt much better. Although she was an old girl, in the eyes of her parents, no matter whether she had a family or not, no matter how old she was, she would always be a child and she had to be given New Year's money.
Jing's mother gave 100 virtual coins to Xiao Shuen and her uncle's son Su Long. Li Yun looked at them eagerly without saying a word. After all, it would not be nice for him to ask for New Year's money when he was almost 30 years old. As for Jing Shu who was so old but still got New Year's money, he said he was also envious.
Jingshu and Wu Youai both gave Xiao Shuen 50 virtual coins as New Year's money. Li Yun was about to cry. He only had 10 virtual coins on him, which he had saved for a long time. He could only play dumb and keep silent.
This year, there were so many people, and the house was warm. The adults had no intention of going to bed, saying they were going to keep watch. Grandma Jing and Grandpa Jing couldn't bear it anymore and went to bed.
Third Aunt and Jing Ma still had a lot of work to do: they had to prepare feed for the chickens, ducks, and cows. In order to save feed, since there were no vegetable roots or rotten leaves at home, they had to mix in more insect cakes. Fortunately, insects are high in protein, so the chickens would lay more eggs.
Even if a little spiritual spring water is added, nutrients still need to be supplemented, and beans and grains also need to be added. The trouble is that the weather is cold now, so you can't mix the food with cold water. You have to use boiling water. Only in this way will poultry like to eat the food, and they will grow well and produce abundantly.
The crops on the balcony need to be taken care of, the pigs and cows in the backyard need to be watched, the milk needs to be squeezed out in advance, the mushroom house in the front yard needs to be taken care of, and so on. Even Jingshu has to inspect it before going to bed every night. She also has to take care of the fruits and bees in the greenhouse, and so many pets need to be taken care of, and she has to treat them all equally.
It makes sense that Jingshu's family is rich, and they can afford to have delicious food on the table every day.
The TV was playing programs, and the children were drinking milk tea, eating candies, and watching TV happily on the sofa.
People are playing mahjong on the dining table and playing Landlord on the coffee table. It has been a long time since we have seen such a lively New Year scene.
Jingshu thought, this might be the happiness in the ordinary, it would be great if this ordinary happiness could always continue.
But obviously, it won't be that easy.
The warm days have only just passed, and the nation is still reveling in the revelry of the Spring Festival. Those who haven't had enough to eat can finally indulge in a buffet these few days. How can we not be happy? The food is even better than usual, with two extra dishes: a wild vegetable dish and a rice porridge dish. However, each person is limited to one bowl and can only choose one of the two.
This is just like the buffet before the apocalypse, where you have to choose between abalone porridge and hairy crabs, which is really confusing.
Seeing that they couldn't afford to live in the villa, and even the ordinary houses were out of reach, the second uncle's family was secretly anxious, while at the same time they couldn't help eating in the big cafeteria. "We'll think of a solution after these few days."
"The food in the city restaurants is delicious. The worm cakes in the countryside are not made with great care. Look at the ones in the city, there are more than a dozen different ways to make them."
"How can we compare? The bread in the city is made of pure meat, while the ones in our country are made with half soil."
Yes, the canteens in the countryside have started adding dirt a long time ago. In Wucheng, there is a red nematode cake factory that supplies some worm cakes every day as a buffer. In addition, there are some old grain stocks in the warehouse, so it has not reached the point where people have to eat dirt. But Jingshu estimates that after the Chinese New Year, it will be almost the same.
The soil is not Guanyin soil, but a kind of swelling soil. This kind of soil can fill you up to a certain extent, but it is not easy to digest. It is fine in the short term, but if you eat it for a long time, your belly will get bigger and bigger until...boo
This is a kind of edible soil that has been specially processed and screened layer by layer. It is also rich in certain substances needed by the human body.
If this happened before the end of the world, and someone told Jingshu that this soil can be eaten, and not only can it be eaten, but it can also be made into small biscuits and dry food, Jingshu would never believe it.
But now that we are at the end of our rope, what can we not eat? Some people are so hungry that they eat dirt. The smart and frugal Chinese people have learned how to eat dirt from their African compatriots.
Do
Although the harm is not as great as Guanyin soil, which can kill people after eating it for a few meals, it is still seriously harmful. But in this situation where people are almost starving to death, who cares so much?
Besides, we can still eat some soil now, but by next year, we won’t even be able to eat soil.
Jingshu then thought, "Is the job of digger going to come out soon?"
This work is very hard because you have to dig a pit several meters deep to find the fine soil, and then go through steps such as crushing and filtering to get the finest soil.
Finally, it is handed over to the canteen. The canteen aunties will add some flour and salt, or some insects to the soil, and stir it continuously until it becomes a paste. Then they will dig out a small piece and spread it out to make a pancake or strip to make the pancake embryo.
This food, which costs very little but can feed many people, quickly became popular.
They often just need to stick them around the burning garbage station, and then the dry food and earthworm cakes are ready.
The mudslide in the fourth year is the best time to make earthworm cakes, especially when the soil has not yet begun to solidify. As long as the diggers are willing to endure the hardship, they can get enough raw materials with their hands without any special tools, and thus can obtain a lot of virtual currency.
But after the second half of the year, the ground completely solidified and the diggers were at a loss. Coupled with the cold, the ground completely solidified into cement and even the soil could not be dug out. All the edible things had been eaten up and the weather was extremely cold. Only then did the real test come.
So being able to eat soil is a blessing.
There is mud and water on the mountain!
More and more mud and water poured out from all around!
At first, no one took it seriously. After all, there had been floods and earthquakes before, so what was there to worry about? It was just some muddy water flowing down the mountain. It wasn't a life-threatening thing.
But soon everyone realized something was wrong.
And the facts proved that something was wrong.
It would be fine if mud and water only flowed occasionally in one place, but mud and water began to gush out in more and more places. Some volcanoes even erupted with torrents of mud and water, directly flooding several surrounding towns!
The drone footage could only capture that in just one night, these mudslides rushed down from the mountains frantically, swallowing up everything in their way. Fortunately, there was an early warning for tens of thousands of people in the town, and the mudslides were not as fast as floods, which gave them time to escape. The mayor was also very experienced and organized everyone to escape with the necessary food.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Jingshu's family was crowded in the house in the morning, eating breakfast and watching the news, and then they saw this live broadcast.
