Doomsday housewives: the head of the family does not bow down

Chapter 80 Eating Crayfish
Xiao Zai was lying in his special child seat, holding Miaowu and rocking him until he fell asleep.

Mu Cang was clinging to the glass window, his eyes like radar, searching everywhere.

No. 20 days after the apocalypse, everyone who wanted to escape escaped, and those who didn't want to escape were already preparing for a protracted war in the city.

The most obvious one is about the plundering of resources. Food, medicine, fuel, etc. have become the targets of everyone's renewed fighting.

Mu Cang did not choose to go to shopping malls, supermarkets and other places to rob supplies. It was difficult for her to take advantage of four hands with just two fists. She took some unnecessary risks with her son and needed to consciously avoid them.

But food should be stored, and it is necessary to store it.

Simian's behavior of digging soil in the research institute also reminded her that if weeds can grow over one meter in ten days, what about the crops?
Is it possible for the ambulance they drive to become a mobile farm to achieve self-sufficiency in fruits and vegetables?

There are a lot of factories in the suburbs in the north of the city, and it was only when they were almost beyond the boundary of Juancheng that they discovered a small amount of farmland.

However, all the plants that can bear fruit in this season have been picked, and even the corn stalks have been removed.

Simian parked the car next to the ditch, while Xiao Zai was still taking a nap in the car.

Mu Cang didn't dare to leave too far, so she walked around the car. Cowpeas, green beans, eggplants, peppers, corns, tomatoes... these common summer vegetables had all been harvested in a hurry.

There are only some crooked seedlings left in the field, trampled in a mess, withered and curled up.

"Sister, can't you find anything edible?" Simian grabbed a toad from the grass and walked over.

Mu Cang took a step away and said disgustedly: "We... want to eat toads?"

It's not like she hasn't eaten frogs before, such as hotpot bullfrog, charcoal-roasted bullfrog, perilla bullfrog, pickled pepper bullfrog... they are all delicious, tender and tasty, and they fall off the bones in one sip, leaving endless aftertaste.

But facing the lumpy toad under Si Mian's white fingers, she still felt a little nauseous.

She patted her chest, suppressed her nausea, and said, "I'm just being hypocritical, don't worry about it. As long as I can't kill people, I can eat it."

Simian smiled helplessly, "I'm not letting my sister eat the toad. Besides, the one in my hand is poisonous."

He turned around and walked towards the canal. The dagger he pulled out from his waist was dazzlingly sharp, "There are crayfish in this canal. At night, we are in the wild, eating crayfish and looking at the stars, isn't it very romantic?"

Mu Cang saw Simian raise his knife and peel off the poisonous toad in his mouth, revealing its bloody flesh.

She shivered slightly, and responded: "It's emotional, it's really emotional."

The romance in the minds of young people is really sensitizing.

What I knew was doomsday escape, but I didn't know, I thought it was going to a summer camp.

Mu Cang didn't watch Si Mian's hunting action of tying the dead toad to the pumpkin vine, then hanging it into the ditch to catch crayfish.

She jumped into the vegetable field again, picked some vegetables with complete root systems and not seriously damaged branches and leaves, and carefully pulled out the soil.

When Simian fished up a bucket of crayfish from the toad carcass, Mucang had already found two intact tomato seedlings, five eggplant seedlings, eleven pepper seedlings, six cowpea vines, one pumpkin vine, A bitter melon vine.

Si Mian lifted a bucket of crayfish to the front of the car, and waved to Mu Cang, "Sister, you are a good cook, help cook dinner, I'll help you find a way to plant those vegetable seedlings."

"okay."

Mu Cang came out of the field, walked to the front of the car, and looked at the bucket full of crayfish, all of them were strong and fresh with their teeth and claws open.

She exclaimed: "There are so many crayfish in this canal. I haven't seen you fishing for a long time. It weighs about ten catties."

Si Mian took out a small folding stool from the carriage and placed it behind Mucang. He smiled and said, "Maybe it's because there are few competitors, so I gained a good harvest."

Mu Cang thinks about it too, it's the end of the day, who cares about fishing for crayfish, let alone zombies don't like to eat crayfish.

She sat on the small stool, took the gloves and brush from Si Mian, and started to handle the crayfish, "This stuff has strong vitality and stronger reproductive ability. If you don't eat it, you will be sorry for the surrounding ecology."

Si Mian fetched a basin of clean water from the ditch, and responded repeatedly: "Sister said so."

Remove the head and tail of the shrimp and draw out the thread...Mucang did it very skillfully.After all, she has worked in a hospital cafeteria. She is not afraid of crayfish as long as her hand or Australian lobster as long as her arm.

The sun jumped out of the clouds again, scorching the earth scorching hot.

Mu Cang suddenly felt that her arched back was much cooler. When he looked up, he saw Si Mian holding up the canopy.

"Where did you get the canopy from?"

This is really not much different from camping.

With sharp eyes, Si Mian saw something among the collapsed corn stalks not far away moving towards them.

He raised his arm, aimed the crossbow arrow in a direction 300 meters away, and said calmly, "It's from the hospital."

call out--

The sound of steel needles piercing the air was hidden in the noisy chirping of cicadas.

A dry old man zombie wearing a straw hat was stabbed between the eyebrows by a steel needle, and fell to the ground straight up.

Simian retracted the crossbow and tied the fixed rope of the canopy under the big tree.

Without direct exposure to the sun, Mucang felt that his whole body was much cooler, and even the scorching heat wave turned into a refreshing and pleasant breeze.

After she finished processing all the crayfish, she carefully washed the tail parts of the shrimp twice.

The water in this canal is very clear, and the crayfish raised are also very clean.

Mucang found a few big stones from near the field ridge and stacked them together to build a simple earthen stove.

From Si Mian's luggage, she found the small stainless steel pot she had seen when she was packing, and then found a small serving of hot pot base ingredients from her own luggage.

Just use it.

She placed the pot on a stone, then directly sauteed the hot pot base ingredients until fragrant, added filtered water, and then poured in the shrimp tails to simmer.

The spicy butter hot pot base is fragrant.

While setting the fire on, Mu Cang sniffed vigorously, her saliva was almost dripping from the smell.

Xiao Zai hugged Miaowu, who had a square head, climbed out of the ambulance, rubbed his eyes and walked into the sky.

"Zai Zai, have you woken up from the heat?"

Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Mu Cang quickly twisted out a cold towel and wiped his son's sweaty face.

Xiao Zai shook his head, looked at the roof of the car sadly, "I didn't wake up from the heat, I was woken up."

Mu Cang followed his line of sight and found that Simian was still working on the roof of the ambulance.

He used the steel bars stored in the vehicle to raise and reinforce a fifty centimeter-deep terrace on top of the ambulance.

The terrace is covered with soft soil.

The relatively healthy vegetable seedlings that Mu Cang had selected before were also planted by Si Mian in the soil on the roof terrace of the car. They were all green and full of vitality.
