I will plant a field in the last days

Jinglai quietly took out a large bowl of rice and started to eat. She couldn't help but think about what Jingshu said: San Gu's food is not good these days. I also prepared a portion of the rice that my mother prepared for my mother. My mother also prepared a portion for you. If you can’t finish it, take it with you, otherwise it will be wasted.”

The corners of Jinglai's eyes were a little moist. Jingshu was a shrewd child. She said this specifically to take care of her face, which meant that she had too much self-esteem to lose face.

Otherwise, my sister-in-law would be given four dishes every day, and in order to take care of her and prevent her from being too dazzling, the rice would be mixed together every time so that no one could tell what she was eating.

This is obviously a meal specially prepared for her. She remembers this true love. At the critical moment, your blood relatives still care about you!

Jinglai, did your family prepare another meal for you? You are so lucky. You go out to work and take care of the meals and you bring another one yourself. It's not like I save half a meal every day and have to take it home. I give you all my work points for a month. The children bought food to eat.”

Jinglai was already hiding in a corner, but she didn't expect to be discovered by a few people around her.

Why does it smell so good to me? Why do I still smell the ribs? Let me see! Someone with a sharp nose came over.

No, it looks like moldy brown rice. Jing Lai took the bowl over generously, and in the dim light he could only see a dark lump of rice.

It smells so good, I can even smell potatoes.

You may be hallucinating, smelling shit smells good.

Jinglai quietly swallowed a piece of meat with the bones removed, and finished the stewed potatoes with pork ribs mixed with sesame seeds and placed under the rice. Eat quickly. After eating, I have to go up and clean up the grain worms.

That is to say, those who work in the canteen can still eat an occasional meal of white rice. Now that the government is very strict about food, ordinary people can only exchange their work points for some cheap relief meals.

…

In the afternoon, when Jing's father drove to pick up Jing's mother from get off work, he took the whole family in the car and went to Aijia Supermarket to get some water.

Jingshu's family last exchanged 5 tons of water for watering vegetables and feeding poultry, but now there are only 3 tons of water left for various domestic uses. Under extremely high temperatures, Jingshu's villa has to keep making ice in the yard to cool down. .

Otherwise, having a cover would be really suffocating, and the fish in the fish ponds can't stand such high temperatures, so they have to take the water distributed by the government no matter how small it is.

When I came to the supermarket again, there was already a dense S-shaped queue around me. Everyone was waiting with chapped mouths but excitedly to enter the canteen. They all knew that it was the Dragon Boat Festival and the buffet was open for three consecutive days to keep them full. This was exciting. Countless people.

The queue at the water supply side was also long. Fortunately, there were ten more water outlets. After everyone received the water supply, they rushed to the place to eat and queued up.

There is a high barbed wire fence in the middle, and under the dim light you can still see the bustle of people in the cafeteria.

The government also spent a lot of money this time and used all the seasonings collected. The entire canteen was filled with various fragrances.

From a distance, Jingshu could see two rows of pots of food neatly placed on the table. Behind each pot stood a man holding a spoon and shouting:

Try my Kung Pao Grain Bugs! It's delicious and delicious.

You deserve to have stir-fried grain worms, you can eat as much as you want.

Cantonese special fried grain worms, come here, let me try it for you, I can give you another spoonful after one spoonful, eat more!

Not only did the lady in the cafeteria correct her problem of shaking her hands to get rid of most of the food after one spoonful, but she also vigorously added it to your bowl.

Everyone who came excitedly thought that the worst thing to do was eat mushrooms, but they were dumbfounded on the spot when they saw the maggots cooked in various ways. Some of the maggots in the pot were still moving, clearly not yet cooked.

The maggots in some pots were chopped into meat paste, which looked disgusting. Most of the maggots were still dirty and raw, so they must have not been processed.

This seems different from what I imagined.

The buffet we agreed on, is this the only food that Nima will give us? Is this food edible? Could it be taken out of a latrine?

You're going to disgust me to death!

But there are also people who have been hungry for several days and don’t care about the smell. They just pick out a few flavors that look good and eat them.

At this time, the cafeteria broadcast started: You can get as much as you want. Each person has a time limit of 30 minutes. If you report a waster, you will get 2 virtual coins. The waster will deduct 5 virtual coins. If the virtual coins are minus 10 or more, you will undergo labor reform!

To celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, Aijia Supermarket will open a buffet of grain bugs for three consecutive days. Each person only needs 0.5 virtual coins. And the 10 citizens who eat the most will be selected every day, and each person will be awarded 10 virtual coins.

At the same time, Aijia Supermarket has added a grain insect recycling counter. Each kilogram of grain insects is recycled with 0.5 virtual coins. There is no limit to recycling every day. Citizens can catch more grain insects and exchange them for virtual coins. In hot weather, you can exchange them for water and white rice.

At this time, people are no longer like they were in the first two months of the apocalypse, when they couldn't drink muddy water and were tired of eating white rice.

After a month or two of starvation, most people still chose to eat maggots after hesitating for a few minutes.

what else can we do?

I'm hungry and thirsty. If I choose 2 points of white rice, I can't drink water. If I choose to drink an extra bottle of water, I can't eat. Now 0.5 points are precious. All the clothes and bedding in the house have been changed. There is nothing in the dead person's house. Otherwise, if you don’t eat, you will starve to death, so you might as well eat.

To survive.

Seeing that no one was coming to eat what they were eating, some of the aunts in charge became cruel. They grabbed the maggots in the pot and stuffed them into their mouths, Everyone, come and see what I'm eating. It's very delicious! Anyway, Even if no one eats it, she has to finish it.

The lady in charge of the spoon enthusiastically promoted the food and worked hard to deliver it. Most people gradually accepted eating this kind of food, but the time came before they were full.

The bald man looked at the bustling scene and the long queue outside, and shouted on the loudspeaker: It's time for this batch, let's replace it with the next batch!

“This salt and pepper tastes so delicious!”

I don’t know if it’s the quality of the raw materials, the fragrance of the condiments, or the skillful cooking techniques, but a dish of salt and pepper grain worms has created a reputation in Aijia Supermarket.

There was a long queue here at Jing Lai's place. Before others finished one pot, the seven or eight pots she made had already been eaten. People who had eaten said they still wanted to eat!

It's gone today, come back tomorrow! Jing Lai wiped her sweat and said with satisfaction.

The bald man patted Jinglai and said, You have done a good job. I will promote you to a team leader today. Come on!

…

Jing Shu saw this familiar scene, as if she saw herself in the past life from the hesitant and frightened expressions of those people who gritted their teeth and accepted it. However, in this life, she had unknowingly changed her destiny, and she no longer had to eat maggots. very nice.

Hurry up and get the water and go back to make rice dumplings. Jing Nai shook her head with a sigh, This is how we got through the famine back then. We ate whatever we could.

Thanks Jiuluzi, good night for the reward.
