Chapter 619 This World
Jingshu said to Jingnai with a headache: "Grandma, Xiaoguagua is a male."
What does public mean?
Being male means that the egg cannot be laid.
Failure to lay eggs means wasting food and living for free! This is how Lao Jing's family feels. For example, Dahua and Goudan at home, Jing's grandmother would touch Dahua's butt every day to see if she had laid eggs. She would also be partial to Dahua to supplement her nutrition, such as feeding her more insect feed or something like that.
Goudan was not treated so well. In Lao Jing's house, male animals were of almost no use other than being used as breeders. Of course, the mutant dinosaur chickens were an exception. One rooster had to mate with dozens of hens, which was very tiring. Jingnai would also take extra care of it.
"Just a male?" Jingnai was stunned for a moment. She looked up and down at Xiaoguagua again.
Jingshu added, "And it's a gander."
Jingshu originally thought that after hearing this, Jingnai would throw Xiaoguagua away, or say, "You're eating food for free."
But Jingnai was surprised to hear her say, "This must be some new breed of gander. I've never seen one like this before. When it grows up, I'll breed it with Dahua and see what hatches."
"Oh my, just talking about this, the meal I made for you is getting cold. Hurry up and eat first." Jingnai seemed to have just remembered that Jingshu was back. She smiled and pushed Jingshu back in, still holding little Guagua in her arms and refusing to let her go.
Jing Shu clicked her tongue twice. It seemed that Little Guagua was really charming. He was so popular with Jing Nai. Then she looked at Fatty Chicken, which seemed to be wilting again. Jing Shu felt really bad and gently kicked Fatty Chicken. "I'll give you something delicious to eat later. Let's go."
The fat chicken then followed in happily.
As expected, Jing's mother went to work. Wu Youai is still doing research in Xishan recently and rarely comes back. And Third Aunt Jinglai also came. The recent situation is that food is getting less and less, and even the reserve food is almost used up. What can they do? They can only make earth cakes by themselves.
This is a massive undertaking. They use a large amount of virtual currency to collect the soil, then hire people to filter it, then hire people to make it into edible soil cakes, then sell the cakes at a higher price to buy back the virtual currency, and finally store some of the cakes.
The town government still has foresight. After all, it has been four years since the end of the world. The earth cakes are still edible. The important thing is that there is a mudslide now, and the soil is easier to dig. If they don’t store more earth cakes, when there is no mudslide, they won’t even be able to eat the earth cakes.
It’s almost time.
The temperature in Wucheng has begun to drop rapidly, and the mudslide will slowly solidify. By then... if there is no sufficient food stored, many people will starve to death when new food is developed in the apocalypse.
Just like now, digging the soil is difficult.
While Jingshu was listening to Jingnai talking about what had happened in Wucheng recently, she swept up the food on the table. These were all specially made by Jingnai according to Jingshu's preferences. Knowing that Jingshu liked to eat meat, she served it with solid meat. Knowing that Jingshu liked to drink soup, she specially made a big pot of chicken soup.
"Your Third Aunt has a heavy responsibility. She has targets set by her superiors. She needs to store enough food when the temperature drops. She has been personally involved these days."
"Your mother has it tough, too. These days, food is hard to come by. I heard the higher-ups are spending huge amounts of energy to power an artificial sun, and they're also working hard to get food."
Jingnai sighed while tickling Xiaoguagua. She used to think that the town government was the backbone. As long as the town government was there, there would be no problems that could not be solved, and the people would all have food to eat.
In fact, this is indeed the case. China always has grain reserves to stabilize everyone, and everyone has a bottom line in their hearts. As long as the grain reserves are not eaten up, there will be no final despair.
But things have changed so much in the past few months that even the third daughter said the situation is not good, and the daughter-in-law has been sighing for several days. People may simply rely on digging soil to exchange for virtual currency, and just want to have food to eat.
Jingshu's return home was like a backbone, and Jingnai felt safe all of a sudden. She quietly looked at Jingba who was collecting the food, and then said to Jingshu: "The food we eat at home is not
I can’t let anyone know, especially in such a serious situation. I’ve been feeling like the sky is falling lately. No matter how much food I store, it’s useless. I hope I’m just imagining it.”
Look, even the old people know that the situation is serious.
"Of course I have to, grandma. This time I brought back a lot of food and daily necessities. I stored them secretly without telling anyone. I'll show you what I brought back later." Jingshu laughed, feeling particularly good.
After dinner, Jingshu began to sort out the things she had bought in the capital. Of course, some of them were taken out from the space, such as various fruits and food, which just filled the space and enriched the quality of life in the villa again.
When all kinds of fresh fruits were brought out, not only was Jing's grandmother overwhelmed, but even Jing's father and the silent Jing's grandfather opened their mouths wide. These fruits were something they had never seen before.
"We can eat these melons, peaches, durian, and cherries right away. We can then plant more and eat them all in the future."
There are not many kinds of fresh fruits in Jingshu's home. After all, the greenhouse is only a few dozen square meters, and she also has to grow honey and graft and plant some common fruits. But this is the end of the world, so the variety of fruits is naturally pitifully small.
There were not only various fruits, but also other novel things. After looking at them one by one, he began to show off other piles of toilet paper, daily necessities, etc., and said that these gifts were for someone's father, and these were for grandpa, which made Jingnan very happy.
Jingshu likes to show off these gifts to those closest to her.
However, when the family saw the big equipment at the end, they were completely surprised.
“What is this for?”
Jingshu then explained the principles and usage of the freeze-drying equipment: "Hey, from now on we can make nutritious freeze-dried milk powder, nutritious dried vegetables, anything we want, and they won't go bad. We won't have to worry about wasting milk at home anymore."
Although there are many chickens at home, and they are fat, they lay a lot of eggs every day. However, it is easier to make other things from eggs. There are many kinds of eggs, and they can be eaten quickly. Therefore, eggs are easier to sell, while milk is more troublesome.
With the freeze-drying equipment, Old Jing's family was really a great help. It was as valuable as the oxen that plowed the fields in ancient times. Grandpa Jing immediately kicked Xiao Guagua away, and he and his father placed the equipment in the backyard, ready to freeze-dry the food with a short shelf life at home.
Eh, it seems like gay men don’t like Xiaoguagua very much. Jingshu looked at Jingnai thoughtfully while she held Xiaoguagua preciously in her arms.
