Chapter 3 Borrowing Grain from a Neighbor
I also asked for ten bags of flour. In the past six months, he has eaten a mixture of rice, flour and other grains, and has consumed more than half of it.
After skillfully cutting the shredded meat, he cut four more green peppers, but he couldn't help but worry about another serious problem.
“The most worrying thing now is the infrastructure of water, electricity and gas.”
“The tap water is already contaminated, and the power system would have collapsed in the second week of the heavy rain. If it were not for the With that generator and my second-hand outdoor battery, it’s troublesome to charge my computer and mobile phone.”
Fortunately, before he disconnected from the Internet, he had downloaded a large number of doomsday survival-type documents from the Internet, as well as various useful knowledge.
All are stored in computers and mobile hard drives, and many teachers’ works have been deleted for this reason.
Whenever he has time, he will look at these files, thinking that if he can use them in the future, he will make a lot of money.
At the very least, we should learn more while we can still generate electricity.
“The other terrible thing is gas. The gas outside has stopped a long time ago. Fortunately, when I was renovating it, I got two large gas tanks to keep.”
Yes, his home still uses a gas tank. This kind of thing is rare in households in the city now.
Liang Yuan decorated it by himself at the time, before he had time to connect water and electricity, and he didn’t want to waste money on renting a house, so he moved in early.
At that time, I needed to cook by myself, so I bought two gas tanks, 15kg in size.
Not long after he bought it, natural gas was connected to his home. He regretted it at that time and felt that he had bought these two cans of gas in vain.
Unexpectedly, less than two months after the flood, the natural gas supply stopped.
As the water level continued to rise and government rescue failed to arrive, these two cans of gas came in handy.
In the past three months, he has relied on these two gas tanks to cook and boil water.
To be honest, luckily I have a pressure cooker at home, otherwise the gas in the gas tank would have been used up long ago.
Without gas, it would be difficult for him to cook.
The people taking refuge in the corridor were salvaging floating wood and plastic to make fires.
In addition, water source is the most important thing.
Although it is full of water outside, it is sea water with a salty taste.
Countless corpses were soaked in the water, and there were mutated creatures in the water. No one knew if there would be any problems drinking the water.
On the other hand, the rainwater from the sky can be collected. Liang Yuan saw that many of the neighbors around him used bottles and cans to hang at their windows to collect water.
His water source also comes from rainwater.
However, before each use, he would filter it through a filter device and boil it again to ensure that there are no problems before using it.
While thinking, I finished cutting the green peppers in my hand.
Liang Yuan skillfully heated the pot and heated the oil. Don’t even think about ginger slices, garlic, cooking wine, etc., they have been used up long ago.
There are still some green onions, which Liang Yuan planted on the balcony.
However, because there was not much sunlight for half a year, it seemed a little malnourished, and the roots were as thin as hair.
He didn't touch the green onions, skillfully poured in the dark soy sauce, and quickly stir-fried the shredded pork.
As it is stir-fried and colored, the shredded meat takes on an attractive caramel color, and waves of meaty aroma waft out.
Liang Yuan took advantage of the fierce heat, poured in shredded green peppers, and stir-fried quickly.
With the addition of salt and peppermint, a green pepper shredded pork dish with full color, flavor and flavor is completed.
Liang Yuan turned off the fire on the stove, turned on the pressure cooker, and poured the shredded green pepper and pork into the pressure cooker.
In this pressure cooker, rice is cooked.
When there is no electricity at home, the rice cooker has naturally been out of use for a long time. Nowadays, gas is used for cooking.
Pressure cookers cook rice faster than ordinary pots and save gas. Rice is ready in only five to ten minutes.
This is also the secret of his ability to persist for such a long time with only two cans of gas.
With a few stirs with his rice shovel, a delicious green pepper and shredded pork rice bowl was completed.
Liang Yuan rejoiced while stirring.
He knew very well that after half a year of heavy flooding, people living outside had long been in a state of shortage of supplies, and some people didn't even have a place to stay.
The rooms on some floors have long been crowded with people, and the corridors and corridors are also occupied.
There are also some people who have no place to live, so they are so bold that they break into other people's homes by breaking down their doors.
Some people were even more whimsical and built temporary shelters on the water.
Of course, material issues are the biggest trouble.
He didn't know about the other people, but the young couple across from him had come to his door almost every day in the past week to beg him and borrow some food from him. At the earliest time, when the male owner of the family came to borrow food, Liang Yuan thought that since we were all neighbors, they might be able to help each other when they ran for their lives.
So I lent some food to the other party.
But as time goes by, everyone clearly realizes that this world is coming to an end.
After six months of heavy rains, the government has been unable to organize effective rescue. A few months ago, politicians on TV kept calling for people to save themselves.
From then on, Liang Yuan refused to lend food to the other side.
This month, the male neighbor no longer came out to borrow food. Instead, he asked his wife to knock on the door secretly to borrow food.
Every time I knock on the door, I wear extremely sexy clothes.
Liang Yuan didn’t know the couple very well. He had only seen them in the elevator and occasionally said hello.
When I peeked at the owner group, I found out that the young couple were locals.
This house was also bought in full after demolition.
The locals in Linjiang City are very wealthy, and most of the people who are demolished are the nouveau riche, who have several apartments.
Due to the one-child policy at that time, basically every family had only one child.
If a local has only one daughter, he will find a way to recruit a son-in-law.
However, the society is dangerous, and a group of people have set up a special bureau to deal with this kind of local evicted households.
Under the guise of being a door-to-door son-in-law, after entering the house, he took away all the money of the demolished households.
After this kind of thing spread, the locals did not dare to look for outsiders easily anymore, but it became popular and locals only looked for locals.
Moreover, when locals marry locals, they do not marry in the traditional sense, but are called family unions.
It means that the children of two families merge into one family. In this way, there is no such thing as a bride price and dowry.
In the future, you will have two children, one with the father’s surname and one with the mother’s surname.
What matters is fairness, no one suffers.
The neighbors opposite are a new-style married couple from the same family.
The man is average-looking, looking to be in his early thirties, but the woman is stunningly beautiful, looking to be in her late twenties.
Especially a pair of grapefruits, which were big and round. They knocked on the door several times, and Liang Yuan almost couldn’t hold back and opened the door.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a slight knock on the door.
Liang Yuan was stunned. The familiar knock on the door made him immediately realize who it was.
“Speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.”
He couldn’t help laughing.
This kind of inaudible knock on the door was only heard by the young couple opposite.
If it's a robbery, they won't knock on the door at all, they will just break in.
Liang Yuan walked to the door of the room, picked up the mirror on the entrance, and looked into the cat's eye.
Outside the cat's eye is a young woman wearing a goose-yellow stepmother's skirt. She is in her mid-twenties and has long black hair.
Under the background of this stepmother's skirt, the figure looks forward and backward.
A pair of round grapefruits, bulging high, squeeze out a deep and unexpected gap.
The woman's facial features are very iconic, somewhat similar to the female star Christine Yang.
Liang Yuan changed the angle of the mirror and looked around the woman carefully. After confirming that there was no one else around, he opened the door inside.
"Sister Mei, are you okay?"
Coincidentally, the woman's surname is also Yang, but her name is very popular, Yangmei.
Liang Yuan is only twenty-five, so it is not an exaggeration to call the other party Sister Mei.
Yangmei's face was slightly pale and her lips were a little chapped.
However, she had obviously dressed up before going out. Not only did she have long black hair, beautiful and smooth, but she also had light makeup on her face.
I think I ran out of lip balm, otherwise I wouldn’t apply a little bit to prevent my lips from getting chapped.
"Brother, sister...I haven't eaten for a few days. I've finished all the food at home. Please be kind, can you...can you lend me some food?"< br>
