Chapter 44 Lantern Festival in the first year of apocalypse

Jing Shu also loves soup, so he made 1 cubic meter of seafood and shrimp porridge. 1 cubic meter of carrot, corn and mutton soup, 1 cubic meter of mushroom stewed chicken soup, 1 cubic meter of pork ribs and lotus root soup, and 1 cubic meter of crucian carp and tofu soup.

Considering to save electricity, Jing Shu fried his late-night steak and Yuqing sausage to fill 2 cubic meters.

Anyway, Jing Shu will cook all kinds of food whenever she has time at home, and then store it in the space like a hamster. She also plans to wait for Jing Ye Jing to grind the soybeans for a while. All kinds of tofu.

Mother Jing still works every day all, and complains every day about why the dark days are not over. It's been more than 30 days, and she asks Father Jing to go to the wholesale market every day to buy some more things. Recently, everyone is anxious. Waiting for the end of the dark day, while quietly saving some food.

Don't think about vegetables and fruits, the price has risen to hundreds of yuan per pound, and there is no fresh one.

A variety of water and cold drinks have never been on the shelves again.

The variety of snacks, daily seasonings, grains, oils and non-staple foods is also unconsciously reduced, and it seems that they have never been replenished. Now each person is limited to 200 yuan, and they can't buy much. But mosquito legs No matter how small it is, it is still meat, unless you go to Yellow Ox and buy it at a high price.

But since the small supermarket has been confiscated countless supplies due to crazy price increases, Yellow Ox has been reduced a lot. Citizens don't know where the supplies have not been received. Jing Shu knows it. Later, when people were dying of starvation, the official Power to the rescue.

Some small stores will close their doors and store supplies if they can't raise prices. On the second day, there are two official armed men as doorkeepers, so Boss has to continue to open the door to sell things.

Black City's largest farmers' market, the sale of aquatic non-staple food, grain and oil, etc. has been suspended by the government, and it has been quietly controlled. Jing Shu also learned later that this group of aquatic non-staple food is getting more and more outrageous, and the official power is irrelevant. It is said that all the materials were confiscated directly in one pot. To put it politely, it is called: expropriation.

With the appearance of the dark day not over at all, the above is anxious. According to the assumption, the light should be slowly restored in more than 20 days, but it is still the same for these days. Professionals estimate that it will take at least a month, so the huge machine of official power began to act.

Today is the Lantern Festival on February 5, 2023. The previous plan was to move the Spring Festival on January 22 to February 5, which is the end of the dark day. The Lantern Festival has a reunion dinner. Who would have thought that the dark days are still not over.

But in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, the Lantern Festival Gala started on time at 20:00 in the evening. This year, all the hosts wore their original clothes: dirty suits and unshaven beards, and skirts with invisible colors. Haggard face and greasy hair, no makeup and no dressing up.

"Sorry, viewers and friends, I haven't had a bath in half a month." The actress with no makeup still maintains her elegant temperament.

"What a coincidence, I haven't washed it for a month." The male host held the microphone, and the opening remarks began.

Today, there will be uninterrupted power outages in various places, so that every family can have a reunion dinner and watch the Lantern Festival party happily.

Jing Shu's family of three sat at Uncle's home for a reunion dinner today, which is a common practice.

Considering the lack of vegetables, Mother Jing brought some dry goods, eggs, tomato, bean sprouts, cabbage, garlic sprouts and bacon, as well as 2L Sprite.

Things that usually seem ordinary are now hot enough to scald one's hands.

Father Jing wanted to mention two more fish. The fish in the pond produced another batch of fried fish. Jing Shu fried a lot of crispy fish and there were still many left. Jing Shu just wanted to refuse, but Mother Jing refused first: "Okay, that's enough, my sister-in-law knows that we have so many good things to not give them, and it blows my ears again."

In fact, the little woman Mother Jing took revenge, just to borrow money She still cares about money.

Father Jing drove, and the family of three came to Uncle's home in the afternoon. Uncle's home belongs to the old town of Western District, with many people, low environment, high housing prices, the flood did not flood in the second year, but an earthquake in the third year buried the three uncle's whole family downstairs, and the end was very miserable.

In order to keep Mother Jing from returning to steamed bun, Jing Shu decides how to keep uncle's whole family alive.

When Jing Shu's family arrived, two groups of people had already come to Uncle's home.

"Aiya has come here, why did she bring so many things? It's too bad! It's better than some people, it's free to eat."

Aunt Wang Fang opened He took the pile of things from Father Jing's hand and saw the green vegetables, tomatoes, cabbage and bacon, and his eyes lit up. He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Come, come, come in, this year my big brother Wang Gang is with us for the New Year, this is my sister-in-law Liu Shufen, you know this, this is their daughter Wang Can, I am 25 years old. Brother got on top and became a small leader." As soon as I finished showing off, my aunt felt a little inappropriate.

For the Chinese New Year, my aunt's family deliberately cleaned up, wiped her body with water, washed her face, and put on clean clothes. She didn't want to wash her hair. Who would have guessed that Jing Shu's family was clean, with no oily hair at all, except for some dust that had just fallen off, and there was also a smell of Blue Moon brand laundry detergent.

Looking at my family again, there is a rustic feel to how they dress up.

Jing Shu's family entered the door and said hello to his aunt's big brother's family. Uncle's home, three bedrooms and two halls, was hardcovered by Father Jing back then, but now it's a lot of dilapidated, and there is an unspeakable smell, large and small jars filled with water, the small bedroom was stuffed with a freezer, and through the glass, I could see that there was still half of the frozen meat in the refrigerator.

Only the lights in the kitchen, the TV in the living room and the air conditioner are turned on, so the light is a bit dim. Now, there are indicators for each household electricity.

"Sprite! Sister Jing, you can still get 2 liters of Sprite very awesome!" Su Long saw Jing Shu with a drink in his hand and his eyes glowing like a hungry wolf rushing up take away.

Su Long is the old man of my uncle. He wears eyes at 17 years old. He likes to eat snacks since he was a child, so he is short and thin. It is this brat who has to make a noise and go home to live in the earthquake. Their family violent death.

Jing Shu put a finger on Su Long's forehead, "We all drink it together at dinner, and we are not allowed to drink it now." In fact, Jing Shu doesn't want to take Sprite, because Sprite is versatile, Sprite with lemon, Sprite Add sour plum juice, add milk and other unique and exciting tastes.

"che, what's so great." Zhang Hanhan put his arms around Wang Can's arm and looked at Jing Shu with hatred, and whispered something to Wang Can. Only open to 28 ℃, but the temperature outside is 47 ℃.

Zhang Hanhan is the daughter of aunt Su Meimei. She specially put on a red dress today, with a ball head tied, she also put on a dress, and sprayed some perfume to cover her smell. Jing Shu always I feel that people from art and drama college have the same internet celebrity face after dressing up. She also liked to dress like this more than ten years ago in her previous life.

My aunt Su Meimei and my uncle Zhang Zhongyong are both there. Didn't these two fall out, and my uncle would put my aunt in a pig cage?
