Chapter 564 Goodbye Jin Tianci
Jingshu remembered that the last time she came to Jin Tianci's Zhengfu community was last year. This place belongs to the old city area and is on the edge of the basin. Although it has not been completely submerged by the mudslide, life is not easy either, with mud and water oozing out every day.
That's like crossing a river while lying in the mud.
The car couldn't enter the complex, so they had to walk. But the muddy water had already reached Jingshu's waist. Jin Tianci's secretary led the two of them on the shaky plastic planks. If Qian Duoduo hadn't had a bodyguard supporting him, he would have fallen into the mud.
A trip into the community is as exciting as playing Brave Adventure.
The secretary, familiar with the route, walked ahead, waiting for Jingshu and the others. Shining a flashlight, she said, "Be careful, everyone! Our neighborhood isn't that bad. At least the floors above the second floor are still habitable, and the flow is very slow. The mudslides in the surrounding cities are like floods. It's terrifying."
Qian Duoduo was cold and tired, with a frighteningly red nose. It took a lot of effort for them to get to Jin Tianci's house. They only breathed a sigh of relief after drinking a bowl of hot milk tea with rich milky texture.
Jin Tianci was wrapped in a blanket, holding a cup of wolfberry and red date tea, looking at Qian Duoduo and Jing Shu with a smile, taking a sip of tea from time to time. After Qian Duoduo recovered, he asked some family questions in a friendly manner. He did not pay more attention to Qian Duoduo, nor did he ignore Jing Shu.
Jin Tianci is like this, always giving you the feeling that he values you very much. Jingshu also discovered that with people like Jin Tianci, even if you don’t tell him the purpose of your visit, he will always chat with you about trivial matters.
I asked Jingshu about the current situation of the banana community, learned about the current price and consumption level, and gossiped about how the aunties solved the food problem in today's weather.
"Hey, aunties are always aunties. The aunties in our neighborhood collect feces from everyone in the family every day. They can sell it for a lot of virtual currency, and then send laborers to dig the soil. With the virtual currency, they also buy more earthworm cakes, steamed buns or rice. They take it home and mix it with boiling water to make porridge, which can last for several days."
"Now that the canteen has fewer and fewer insect cakes, many families have started exchanging virtual currency for food to store. Everyone has also realized that even insect cakes are in short supply now."
Jingshu can talk about these things endlessly. Compared to knowing how to live and manage the household, women always have their own ways. Jingye is very gossipy. Nothing big or small in the Banana Community can be hidden from his ears. Every day, they eat peanuts at the dinner table and talk about current affairs. Jingshu naturally knows everything.
Qian Duoduo was also asked similar questions, such as what impact the wealthy class like him had suffered.
Qian Duoduo finally couldn't help it and began to tell the purpose of his visit today.
Although he would lose the initiative, he knew that if he didn't say anything, the old man Jin Tianci would keep talking until tomorrow. Didn't you see that Jin Tianci's wife came several times to refill his milk tea, each time stronger than the last, and the rest was just tea.
They had to finish the talk quickly and leave. If they stayed for dinner, Jin Tianci's wife would only eat rice soaked in wheat bran, which would scratch the throat and be difficult to swallow.
After that, Jingshu had no time to speak. She drank milk tea while distractedly taking care of the fruits and vegetables in the space.
The six plots of land I had previously occupied were used to grow medicinal herbs. I had originally intended to use them when my family needed them, or to contribute my Weibo power when the medicinal herbs association was in urgent need.
But she found that she was overthinking it.
Before the end of the world, Jingshu bought all kinds of common medicines. Since drinking the spiritual spring, the whole family rarely got sick. Except for giving them to others when necessary and to her aunt's family, they were almost never touched, not to mention the precious medicinal herbs planted in the space. They had been planted intermittently over the years, and had been raising precious Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, but they had no use at all.
It would be inappropriate to take it out rashly. Jingshu should use it to exchange for supplies. There is no need to take that risk.
Looking at the plump and white ginseng that was at least several decades old, Jingshu ruthlessly harvested all the herbs and stored them in the space. This batch of precious herbs was not needed at the moment, so she kept them and did not waste the precious land.
"The vacant land will be used to plant a batch of spices, such as star anise, Sichuan pepper, pepper cinnamon, and curry. Oh, and there is no curry anymore.
You can try the curry recipe. The most important thing is that I'm running low on hot pot base. Before we move, I should secretly stock up on some seasonings and braise more food. Then I can eat more hot pot on the road. Hot pot is so convenient. Once you've got the base, you can add whatever you want. It's so delicious... So, should I also prepare more hot pot ingredients? I haven't had tripe, pig throat, or pig brains in a long time. Want some...?
Slowly, Jingshu began to daydream. Before the apocalypse, she wholesaled hundreds of kilograms of seasonings, but she couldn't bear the crazy stewing when she was a host. After the apocalypse, she made several cubic meters of food, and there was plenty of seasonings.
As a result, some commonly used seasonings are almost used up. Fortunately, I bought thousands of kilograms of vinegar and salt to pickle food, otherwise they would not be enough now.
"Jingshu, Jingshu? What are you thinking about so absentmindedly?" Jin Tianci laughed heartily. He was obviously very happy after the conversation just now. He even patted Qian Duoduo.
"It's better to do it today than today. The Old City just received 50,000 people from Lincheng and they have nowhere to put them. They haven't eaten yet, and they need to allocate food and distribute supplies. Old Qian, you've saved Wucheng a lot of resources."
Jingshu was surprised. Jin Tianci was so anxious that he couldn't wait.
Qian Duoduo gave Jingshu a wry smile and shook his head, giving her the look she had expected. "Then I'll go back and make arrangements, right away."
"Go ahead, go ahead. I'll leave all these people to you. You can do whatever you want, even be a local tyrant. I only have one condition, which is to ensure these people are alive until the disaster is over or your stone garden can no longer operate." Jin Tianci said seriously.
Qian Duoduo waved his hand, stood up, thought about it, felt a little unwilling, drank all the milk tea and tea, and then said goodbye.
"Oh, Jingshu, please stay. I have something to talk to you about. By the way, Lao Qian, these people haven't eaten yet. Remember to prepare food first, otherwise people who go crazy from starvation will be very scary." Jin Tianci shouted at Qian Duoduo's back.
Qian Duoduo waved his hand and fled in a somewhat embarrassed manner. A cold wind blew and the door slammed shut. Jin Tianci smiled and shook his head, looking at Jingshu.
"Now, let's talk about the seeds. This morning, all of them have been stored in the warehouse, and the personnel have also been temporarily accommodated."
