Chapter 113 The First Dragon Boat Festival in the End of the World
Jingshu understood the sighs in Jingnai's mouth, and she also understood how precious food was in the end times, so she prepared so many things, because many of them were really out of print.
After receiving the water, the family got on the energy truck under the envious eyes of the crowd. If there were no armed police around, those people who were eyeing them covetously would have rushed up to snatch it away without saying a word. In this world, people who dress neatly always look so abrupt and out of place.
After all, in the last six months of the apocalypse, almost no one had clean clothes, and they couldn’t even get water to drink, let alone take care of themselves.
"I really don't understand why people who can afford to drive cars want to compete with us for resources. We are already poor enough, and you still want to compete with us for water. It's because of people like you that the water supply will become less and less."
"That's right. Seeing how clean their clothes are, they're still fighting with us for water. It would be a waste to just give it to them. We should give us more to drink."
Jingshu sat in the comfortable air-conditioned car, gulping down shaved ice yogurt. Look, this belongs to the "I am pitiful but I am right" series. This is what every Chinese citizen deserves, and everyone has it.
Why should I give my things to others just because I feel sorry for them? Why should I give you money just because you have less and I have more? I control the resources and can even cultivate more frogs for the country.
"Let's go, Dad. Don't pay attention to them."
"Oh, okay."
There will be many such people after the end of the world, and a very clear polarization will be formed. Some people are destined to follow behind and pick up various insects to eat, while some people will create new values and substitutes in the end of the world.
…
This was the first Dragon Boat Festival after the end of the world. When it finally arrived, I had wrapped all the soaked glutinous rice. I rolled them into inverted triangles, tied them with ropes, and threw them into the pot with cold water to cook. After wrapping a batch, the ones in the pot were also boiled for more than an hour. I took them out and put another batch in and continued wrapping.
The careful Jingnai separated the dumplings of different flavors with ropes of different colors. The red ones were dates, and the green ones were meat dumplings. There were several colors of ropes in total.
In order not to disturb the neighbors, Jingshu turned on the range hood, but it was obviously useless. The aroma of cooking rice dumplings was so fragrant that it drifted far away.
Jingshu hadn't eaten zongzi for such a long time that her mouth was watering. As soon as a pot of zongzi came out, she couldn't wait to start eating it. She blew on it while dipping it in honey, and soon she had eaten more than a dozen.
Fat Girl No. 25: "Yesterday I tried more than a dozen flavors of worms, and I found the salt and pepper flavor to be the best. I don't know if it's an illusion, but I kept smelling a strong zongzi flavor."
Stone No. 21: "I smell zongzi too. It's the meat kind, the salty kind with chunks of lean meat and a hint of chicken drumstick."
Fat Girl No. 25: "Then we don't smell the same thing. I smell red dates."
Chouchou No. 24: "Strangely, I also smell the smell of zongzi. I feel like it's coming from the villa..."
Wang Qiqi came to the rescue in time: "Aijia Supermarket has launched rice dumplings, each one is 2 work points. If you need them, you can go to the maggot-catching exchange point."
Wang Cuihua sent a voice message: "I'd rather buy a big bowl of rice with those work points. Maggots are so easy to catch these days. There are dozens of kilograms in the toilet downstairs. I caught them all and exchanged them for work points."
Fatty No. 25: "Big sister, you are too disgusting. You caught it from the toilet? Those things are handed over to people to eat."
Wang Cuihua sent a voice message: "What's the big deal? I dug it out with a shovel, replaced it with a bottle of water and flushed it. I got 20 work points in exchange. I also took care of the other toilets."
Wind No. 3: "Sister, please stop talking. I was just saying why the maggots in the food I ate today smelled like shit. There were so many maggots outside, but you went to catch the ones in the toilet instead."
Wang Cuihua sent another voice message: "It's going to take forever to catch even a few maggots out there. The toilet is full of them with a shovel."
The matter of the zongzi was finally resolved. Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the dust covered the tempered glass cover to a thickness of more than ten centimeters, blocking the light from the villa. Otherwise, the situation in the villa would definitely be exposed.
However, Jingshu had to say that the government's policy was too successful. The next day, everyone started catching and looking for maggots, and some even raised them themselves. As for how to raise them... just dig a hole near the toilet, and you can figure out the rest yourself.
After the first time, there will be a second time. As time goes by, everyone will gradually accept the bug.
The country's original concern that carrion beetles would stand at the top of the pyramid was solved so easily, and the problem of the infestation of flies was also well solved: every day a large number of people would go to various places to catch them, and they would catch a large bag at a time, which seriously inhibited their development.
Although carrion beetles reproduce quickly and in large numbers, flies are one of the few creatures that can move freely in high temperatures and eat carrion beetles. They control the carrion beetles, and humans have found new food, thus forming a new food chain.
At the same time, this incident also laid a good foundation for eating red nematodes later.
It is reported that in the sixth half of 23 years later, billions of carrion beetles in China were killed by maggots, and hundreds of billions of maggots were eaten by humans. On average, each person consumed hundreds of maggots every day.
This year, China had the highest survival rate in the world, reaching 89%, while the United States had only 85% and India had 81%.
Several small European countries were now plagued by carrion beetles and flies. They were preparing to launch new insecticides to eliminate the insects, but the effect was not good.
The United States is now preparing to concentrate its population, migrate collectively, launch nuclear weapons to another place, and then migrate to the surrounding areas. Anyway, the United States has abundant food and a small population.
The brothers and sisters in India and Africa learned the fine spirit of China and joined the army of insect eaters. In the end, they found that what the great man said was right: the power of the masses is strong, and it would be troublesome to mess with Xuanxuan.
The fierce fighting nation of Russia announced a new law that each person must kill a thousand insects every day.
The North Korean government has issued a new law requiring all citizens to eat live insects, and anyone who dares to disobey the law will be arrested.
The news now reports every day about the tragic times in other countries, which all reflect the moderate attitude of the Chinese government.
The issues that the Wucheng government was most worried about have all been resolved. There is food and people will not starve to death. Apart from the scarce water, there are basically no other fatal factors.
Well, it's time to free up our hands to deal with the previous robbery and murder. Wucheng should set an example and take the lead in completing the reform of the new system in front of the people of the whole country!
After two months of gentle policies implemented by the government, there are still people who are "occupying land as kings" and raising pigs, and they have begun to show their ferocious fangs to criminals.
…
During the Dragon Boat Festival, Jing's mother invited her uncle and his family to the villa for lunch. Since that day when she broke up with Su Meimei completely, Jing's mother only recognized Su Yiyang as her elder brother.
Jing's father drove to pick up the family, but on the way he called: "Lanzhi, your sister-in-law said she wanted to invite her brother and his family to come as well..."
