Ye Zhou doesn't need to worry about the supermarket, Cao'er will connect with He Yu, and He Yu has applied for an empty house near the supermarket to be used as a warehouse. In this way, Cao'er doesn't have to drive over to deliver the goods every day.
The base is peaceful. Apart from exchanges and transactions, Base 276 has almost no contact with the outside world.
Other bases do not have the leisure to observe the development of other bases. All bases are doing their best to keep their bases "alive".
As for what it will turn out like in the end, no one can tell.
Ye Zhou doesn't need to worry about his business this time. He just regards coming here as a vacation, which is a good opportunity for him to understand Zou Ming's current work and life.
Ever since they talked it out last time - at least Ye Zhou felt that he and Zou Ming had talked it out, their relationship was finally not so awkward, and Zou Ming would no longer avoid him. Although they still slept in separate rooms, Ye Zhou felt that this rhythm was just right.
He felt that he still needed a little time.
After all, there is a slight difference between accepting a same-sex lover and accepting a same-sex lover's body.
"Why do these pigs... look like this?" It was the first time that Ye Zhou saw pigs raised at the base.
These dozen or so pigs are important assets of the base. Before Ye Zhou came, they carried all the base residents' desire for fat.
Inside the glass cover, the pigs collapsed on the ground, lying in the mud prepared for them at the base, motionless, looking like dead, and they really didn't look fat, but a little too slim for pigs.
"We can't find a good breed of pig." Zou Ming stood beside Ye Zhou and explained, "We can't breed pigs these years, and we can't introduce high-yield large white pigs, so each generation is worse than the previous one."
Ye Zhou didn't know much about pigs. In short, in his inherent impression, pigs were the animals that produced the most meat, especially fat.
That is why it becomes the focus of breeding.
"Then I'll buy some breeding pigs from the system and send them to you." Ye Zhou said naturally, "But after breeding for a few generations, we'll have to introduce new ones."
Ye Zhou sighed with a far-sighted gaze: "What will happen when we die?"
Zou Ming: “…”
This is really too long-term.
Zou Ming could only say tactfully: "At most they just don't have pork to eat. Didn't they get here even though they didn't have pork before?"
Ye Zhou thought about it and agreed.
However, he himself could not imagine a life without pork. Braised pork, stewed pig's trotters, braised pig's head, which one does not need pigs? People cannot lose pigs, just like pilgrims cannot lose Jerusalem.
"There aren't many eggs in supply right now?"
Compared to the listless pigs, the chickens are quite active. These chickens don’t eat grains. There is not enough food for people, so how can we provide food for the chickens?
Normally, they are fed with a mixture of cooked, dehydrated and pelleted plants, and they can actually survive. Except for not growing much meat like pigs, they have no other defects.
"Supermarkets still don't sell agricultural products." Ye Zhou said, "Do you think residents can grow their own crops now?"
The base is still allocating work now, and all the land is cultivated together. Because there are not many resources, if they are divided up, there will be even less. Everyone has only a little bit of land, and if there are a few that are not cultivated well, some people will starve to death.
"The soil improvement efficiency is too low." Zou Ming handed Ye Zhou a bottle of water.
This time when they went out, Zou Ming was considerate enough to hold an umbrella for Ye Zhou and did not let Ye Zhou touch it, but held it for Ye Zhou himself.
Ye Zhou nodded, and Zou Ming said, "The soil base will find a way, but it's better not to buy from you."
Ye Zhou: "Yes, basic things cannot rely on the system."
The system came inexplicably, and Ye Zhou was afraid that it would also leave inexplicably.
Apart from the breeding farm, there is nothing else to "visit" in the entire base. Every morning at 6:30, the residents have to go to the fields to work, and there are not many people assigned to the breeding farm.
But perhaps because of the supermarket and the money having a use, the residents have regained their enthusiasm for work.
"Everyone is working together, but the wages are different. Is there no one slacking off?" Ye Zhou and Zou Ming walked to the edge of the farmland.
The farmland is covered by huge glass covers. Even though the glass covers can regulate the sunlight, it is still so hot inside that people sweat profusely.
Fortunately, the crops grown there are all grains, so as long as they are busy with sowing and harvesting, they can use the time in between to do other things.
Zou Ming: "My people are watching inside, and anyone who is lazy will be kicked out."
After a few people were driven out, no one dared to be lazy anymore.
But here, being kicked out is tantamount to a death sentence.
Ye Zhou was silent for a moment, then he patted Zou Ming on the shoulder and said, "This is the best."
There are no detailed laws in the base, only rules. Not only because there are fewer people now, but more because people have long lost their understanding of life and respect for the law. Nothing can scare them except death.
Maybe there are many people who think being locked up is a good thing.
After all, there is food and drink and no need to work.
"Maybe things will get better later." Ye Zhou put his arm around Zou Ming's shoulders.
He said seriously: "When the katuo is ripe, you can have someone make it into cakes or powder and take it out to exchange for necessities."
"It would be best if we could bring in some professional talents." Ye Zhou offered advice, "but the seeds can't be leaked out."
"Otherwise, Ka Tuo will soon be worthless."
"Once you have exchanged enough things and people, it won't matter if it leaks out."
Zou Ming smiled and looked into Ye Zhou's eyes gently, knowing that this was a compromise Ye Zhou made for him.
Whether Katuo will flow out or not actually does not cause any loss to Ye Zhou. In fact, for Ye Zhou, if Katuo can flow out, more people can benefit from it and survive.
Therefore, he was willing to let Zou Ming temporarily monopolize Katuo, which was already a compromise for Zou Ming.
"Life here is too hard." Ye Zhou sighed, "Actually, from this perspective, the Daliang Dynasty is pretty good."
After all, the drought in the Daliang Dynasty was only temporary. As long as it rained and the climate recovered, a new order would quickly emerge and people could continue to recuperate.
Zou Ming suddenly asked: "Which plane do you think is the worst?"
Ye Zhou hesitated for a moment, as if he was afraid of hurting Zou Ming's self-esteem, but he still said honestly: "This."
This plane is the only one where even farming has become a luxury.
Water, the source of life, is a scarce resource here.
"People can survive with less food, but they really can't survive without water." Ye Zhou, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. We can always find a way to find a local water source in the future."
There was really nothing to visit in the base, so after looking at the breeding farm and the planting farm, Ye Zhou and Zou Ming went back to enjoy the air conditioning.
The first thing I do when I get home is to take a shower and change clothes.
Although it is dry here, it will become sticky after sweating, and there is yellow sand attached to the skin. It cannot be patted off with hands and can only be washed with water. The local residents are used to it and can endure it, but Ye Zhou cannot.
Ye Zhou opened the door and the cool air from the air conditioner blew towards him. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he was finally alive.
The climate here is really torturous.
He ignored Zou Ming and went to the bathroom.
The gentle water sprinkled on Ye Zhou, taking away the yellow sand attached to his skin. Every time Ye Zhou took a shower, he was worried that the sewer would be blocked.
As for clothes, you have to take them out and shake them off first. Only after the yellow sand is shaken off can you wash them.
After taking a shower, Ye Zhou came out of the bathroom wrapped in only a bath towel. Seeing Zou Ming sitting on the sofa, he wiped his hair and said, "You go wash it. I'll watch TV for a while and then blow dry my hair."
Zou Ming stood up without saying a word, and the two men passed each other. Zou Ming's body was stiff, and he didn't dare to look at Ye Zhou at all. He could only look straight ahead, looking particularly honest.
He could even smell the shower gel on Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou did not notice Zou Ming's abnormality - he had done this before, wearing only underwear and walking in front of Zou Ming, but Zou Ming did nothing at that time. Now at least he had a bath towel, which was much longer than his underwear.
Ye Zhou also looked at his abdomen complacently. He already had six-pack abs.
However, it is unlikely to have eight abdominal muscles. Everyone has different physical conditions. The number of abdominal muscles one has is not determined by the amount of exercise, but by the conditions given by his parents. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot have eight abdominal muscles.
But six pieces is enough, and people will praise your good figure wherever you go.
While Zou Ming was taking a shower, Ye Zhou was watching TV in the living room. He still felt a little hot, so he just wore pajamas, with his upper body naked, and slumped on the sofa like a boneless person. There was ice water and fruit on the coffee table.
When Zou Ming came out of the bathroom fully dressed, he saw Ye Zhou lying on the sofa.
The cloth sofa was yellowish in color, and Ye Zhou, with his upper body bare, looked as white as jade against this color. He was unaware of his actions at the moment, staring at the screen, stretching his body, without any precautions.
Zou Ming's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he sat down beside Ye Zhou's legs in silence.
Ye Zhou glanced at him and then looked away, saying excitedly: "This movie is good. I've watched it for the third time."
Zou Ming hummed, but his attention was not on the movie at all.
"I'll go draw the curtains." Zou Ming suddenly stood up.
Ye Zhou: "Yeah, the sunlight is a little blinding."
The slide rails made little sound, the sunlight was blocked by thick curtains, and the only light in the room was the dim light from the movie.
The movie happened to be showing a scene outdoors at night, and the tiny light gradually dimmed.
Soon, Ye Zhou's vision darkened.
A figure blocked the already scarce light.
Amid the sound effects of the movie, Ye Zhou slowly raised his head. He couldn't see Zou Ming's face clearly, but he could smell the scent of shampoo on Zou Ming's body and feel the damp heat from Zou Ming's body as he just came out of the bathroom.
Ye Zhou suddenly became nervous, his heart beat faster and faster, and he couldn't even look directly into Zou Ming's eyes.
Just when he was a little out of breath and was about to reach out to push Zou Ming away, Zou Ming suddenly grabbed his raised hand.
Then she kissed him in a way that brooked no rejection.
Ye Zhou couldn't hear anything.
