Chapter 81:
Wu Zheng's younger brother is even more amazing. He is a music student and knows a little about editing. Before he graduated from university, he made money by making small video clips for others. Now he is regretting it. Although he also wanted to go out to work with his brother, Wu Zheng didn't let him, and asked him to stay at home temporarily, and wait until they found out a little bit about the situation outside, and there was a dog at home. The nature of the house, as long as there is no one at home, it will bark when there is any movement at the door. At this time, the barking sound of the dog is almost like inviting people to eat, so Wu Zheng asked Song Jia to find a way to train Niu Niu so that she will not go out at home. They didn't go out for the time being. Anyway, they don't lack points for the time being, so it doesn't matter if one of them stays at home.
Now there are two working modes to work outside. After all, it is a labor-intensive job. Even if there is no sun at night, the temperature is still high. Although many people seem to have adapted to the current temperature, if you add more physical work, There are still many people who can’t bear it, so the set working hours are divided into morning and evening shifts. The morning shift is from 8:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., and the evening shift is from 12:30 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. , the same three points plus a meal, it is up to you to choose whether to choose early or late.
Wu Zheng and the others went to work together, so the time they chose was naturally the same. Song Jia saw that it was almost time for them to get off work, and they happened to take Niu Niu out to let the wind go, **** and poop, so she simply took Niu Niu Going to pick them up, I just picked them up and were walking back together, Niuniu suddenly rushed out like an arrow from Li Xuan, and then there was a short short cry from behind a half-collapsed broken house in the distance After they yelled, they stopped. When they chased them to check, they saw that Niuniu had already killed an alpaca. angry.
Looking at the things they brought back, Mu Nan couldn't help but said, "Is this edible? Isn't an alpaca a pet?" Eating someone's pet is almost the same as eating dog meat.
Jian Chu said: "Anything can be a pet these days, and some people raise pigs, so they can eat whatever they want, and alpacas are edible livestock. The reason why alpacas were first introduced is that they can be eaten and taste good. , but for some reason it has become the pet of many people, to be honest, there is no difference between alpaca and pig, cow and sheep, so eat it, don’t worry about it.”
Mu Nan was a little strange: "How could there be an alpaca here? If someone keeps it as a pet, it's amazing that this alpaca can still live to this day." During the time in the circle, I have never seen a dog. An alpaca is so big, and it is not as flexible as a pet dog. If it is really seen, how can it be let go.
Jian Chu shook his head: "I'm afraid this is not someone else's pet. Most of the people here are either students or some urban villages. There are many cats and dogs. Alpacas are really trendy things. I remember there is one here. Zoos, the semi-wild ones, there is a group of alpacas in the zoo, which probably escaped from the zoo."
When Jian Chu said this, Mu Nan also remembered that he knew about the zoo. They used to hold social activities before, and the venue they chose was the zoo. However, he was not interested in such activities, which were tiring and cumbersome. It's better to stay at home and draw more manuscripts, so I didn't participate, but if it was an alpaca in the zoo, Mu Nan looked at them and said, "The alpacas have already escaped, so what about the lion and tiger?" After finally surviving until now, but it is about to enter their mouths, it seems that they are going to be their fate.
Everyone looked at each other, Song Jia squatted on the ground and hugged Niuniu's dog's head tightly and looked at them: "No way?"
Yu Zibai: "Be careful, everyone. If we do meet, it will be our turn to become food. For animals that no one raises, hunger will release their wildness. Let's find a time to talk about this with those soldiers. They Now the attention is all on reconstruction, I don’t know if you will notice this, but don’t wait until someone dies to notice.”
Everyone nodded when they heard the words, and they really need to report it. The lions and tigers really ran out, but they are not able to deal with them, and they have to count on soldiers with weapons, but this one also needs to be dealt with. Jian Chu said: "This is already dead. I can’t let it go anymore, but will anyone kill it?” It’s okay to ask him to kill chickens, but he has nowhere to start with alpacas.
Mu Nan shook his head: "Now it's not a question of how to kill."
Jian Chu turned to look at him: "What's the problem?"
Mu Nan said: "If lions and tigers come out, the smell of blood will be the most attractive thing for them, so where to kill this alpaca? How to deal with the inedible fur and internal organs after killing them, there is so much water at home to wash all over the floor Blood? Most importantly, we don’t have bone knives.”
He has space for a bone cutter, but there is none outside. Some of the knives found in the ruins before can cut bones, and they don't know whether alpaca bones are good for cutting.
Song Jia poked the alpaca's hair: "Then we can't eat it? We haven't eaten meat for a long time."
Yu Zibai said: "Send Building No. 1 to you." Building No. 1 is the first townhouse resettled by the soldiers. It is said that the house will be vacated later and another office will be built on the vacant land of the community, but now they are still there. Building No. 1, if you need anything, you can go directly to them.
Hearing this, Song Jia was even more reluctant: "Hand it in, then what we handed in, can we get back a bite of meat?"
Mu Nan said: "It's possible, but you don't have to hand in all of them. Take it over. Although this one looks skinny, it should weigh more than 100 catties. Let them help you deal with it and kill it. Let's bring a Go over with a clean basin, bring some meat back directly, and exchange the rest for points, so you can eat more without trouble."
Jian Chu also thinks this is a good way to deal with the alpaca, but after all, Niu Niu killed the alpaca. He was afraid that Wu Zheng would think they took advantage of them, so he said: "All the points you exchanged belong to your family. Without Niu Niu, we may not be able to discover this Alpaca, just eat some meat, and we don’t want the points.”
Mu Nan also nodded: "My house has a lot of seasonings, let's set up a seasoning place at my house, ride the tricycle there later, find something to cover it up, I'll turn on the air conditioner on the second floor first, and eat at my house later, wait After you're done, my brother and Xu Ming can almost come back."
Jian Chu said with a smile: "Then they are really comfortable, and they will eat when they come back."
Wu Zheng wasn't as polite as pushing them back and forth. I'm afraid they won't be able to exchange much points for some of the alpacas, and they'll ask for more points. There is no electricity at home, so I may have to borrow a neighbor's refrigerator to use it.
After the work was assigned, everyone was busy with their own work. Jian Chu also sighed: "Fortunately, I brought back the staple food of that meal and didn't eat it. If I eat this, I won't be able to eat meat."
Mu Nan reminded: "If you haven't eaten meat for a long time, you will suddenly eat a lot, and you will have diarrhea."
Jian Chu patted her stomach: "It's okay, steel can be digested!"
When Mu Nan returned home, he turned on the air conditioner on the second floor, and took out some folded small stools that he had dug out from the ruins and set them up. There was no table, but he found it later in a furniture store. The available coffee table, electric board, induction cooker, pot and baking tray are all put away one by one, and there are even more seasonings. Anyway, Jianchu and the others know that they have a lot of sauces, and no one knows how many they have. Looking through his bag, I'm afraid I don't know the details, so the barbecue sauce must be available, the sauce for marinated meat can also be taken out, and the frozen corn kernels and canned fruits in the refrigerator are also ready. For meat, there must be something more.
Mu Nan thought for a while, took out a stainless steel basin, and poured a lot of the iced milk tea he brewed at home before. Milk tea has powder packets, and those are more durable, so I can still take it now It's not unusual to come out, at most it's rare, and it's very sincere to exchange milk tea for meat. After all, he didn't kill the alpaca, and he didn't bring it back. When his brother comes back, he will eat the ready-made alpaca directly. Let the people who give out the meat be a little more comfortable.
Until his brother came back from get off work, the person who carried the alpaca to Building No. 1 hadn't come back yet. As soon as Qin Huai came up, he saw Mu Nan sitting in the small living room on the second floor playing with his mobile phone. The small benches were set up, and the pots and tableware were well prepared. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here? A party?"
Mu Nan hurried over and took a pack of wet wipes from the space: "Is the first day hard at work? Are you tired? Are your colleagues easy to get along with?"
Qin Huai: "It's not hard work, and it's not tiring. Sitting in an air-conditioned room and doing my old job, typing on the computer is very easy, and my colleagues are easy to get along with. Don't worry, everything is going well. What are you planning to do?"
Mu Nan hurriedly told about Niuniu killing an alpaca: "So I'm going to come over to eat meat, I also prepared milk tea, it should be okay to take out the milk tea now, doesn't the milk tea have that powder bag, like Would it be very eye-catching if there are tea bags in our house?"
Qin Huai shook his head: "No, just take it out if you want to drink it. Tea bags are provided there today. It's a pity that we don't drink much tea, but I also brought a few bags back. I'll make milk tea for you when the time comes."
Qin Huai puts things upstairs and takes books with him to work every day. Although there are TV dramas where he can type out a string of codes with his eyes closed, there are a lot of exaggerations, so some things are sometimes I still have to flip through the books, these books are treasures now, and I can't keep them in the office, I have to carry them with me every day.
When Qin Huai was putting things away, Mu Nan followed behind him like a tail, recounting in detail what he did today, and it took a little effort to settle so many pots in the living room on the third floor, saying After that, he turned back to the alpaca: "The alpacas are all running over. I think lions and tigers must not be far away. Brother, you are so far away from work, I think it is very dangerous."
Qin Huai said: "Don't worry, starting tomorrow I will go with others, there are also a few programmers here, but they live in the apartment building, anyway, it's closer, it's safer to have a companion on the way, no It is a person, and it is said that after the entire road here is cleared in a few days, there will be buses coming and going, after all, not everyone has a bicycle, and those who don't have a car will be too far to walk there on foot." Hearing Qin Huai's words After saying that, Mu Nan felt relieved: "Then you better be careful, now that the zoo is gone, the animals in it are probably going crazy from hunger."
Qin Huai didn't take a shower, but changed into a dry vest after wiping off the sweat on his body. Anyway, there is an air conditioner at home, so he won't go out again. It won't be too late to take a shower after dinner, so he changed his clothes and prepared to go downstairs. As soon as he turned around, he bumped into Mu Nan who was following closely behind him.
Mu Nan covered his sore nose and backed away, Qin Huai took his hand away amusedly: "Let me see if your nose is bumped crookedly, it has been bumped so many times and you don't have a long memory, your nose bridge is not high, it must be bumped when you were a child of."
Mu Nan touched the bridge of his nose: "It's obviously very tall."
Putting one hand on the back of his head, Qin Huai pushed him down the stairs, seeing that he was still rubbing his nose, he took his hand away: "Don't be red if you rubbed red and then blame me."
Mu Nan glared at him: "Why don't you blame me, why didn't you say hello when you turned around."
Qin Huai smiled and said: "It's better to install a receiver on you, I have a light in my hand, I will shoot it when I turn around, and then a small speaker will announce that your brother is going to turn around, Nannan, please pay attention, so? "
Mu Nan jumped on Qin Huai's back and plucked his hair, she didn't act like this.
As soon as the two of them reached the second floor, they heard voices in the yard. Mu Nan hurried to the terrace to see that it was Wu Zheng and Yu Zibai who came back on a tricycle, so he ran downstairs to open the door for them. Qin Huai followed him They went downstairs together behind them, and they brought back a lot of meat, a big basin full of it, and it was not light. Qin Huai reached out to take it, Yu Zibai parked the tricycle in, Wu Zheng went to call Song Jia and Jian Chu, now Xu Ming was missing.
Several people went up to the second floor, Jian Chu was fine, she just came from home, and their house also turned on the air conditioner, but Song Jia hadn’t felt this kind of coolness for a long time, even Niu Niu found a friend as soon as she came up. Lie down in the coolest place.
Jian Chu said to Song Jia: "The electricity will be switched on soon, and some people have started repairing the circuit today."
Song Jia sighed comfortably: "It would be great to have electricity. Although I seem to have gotten used to the heat now, it's better to be able to comfortably blow on the air conditioner."
Yu Zibai and Qin Huai were cleaning up the meat they brought back, rinsed it with water, and started slicing it. The meat they brought back should have various parts. Some are fatter, some are thinner, and some are evenly fat and thin, but they are all pure meat. , and a few internal organs, but not a single bone.
Jian Chu was on the sidelines to oversee the work. Seeing that they didn't bring any bones back, she felt a little regretful and said, "The alpaca ribs taste pretty good, and there is an oven at home, but it's a pity you didn't take them. Did you tell me about the zoo?"
Yu Zibo said: "I said it, they will pay attention to it. The alpaca is not easy to clean up. It took a lot of effort to break apart the bones. It took a long time to cut off the meat. The skinned and bled, in order to get it Eat it directly when you come back, the cleaning is more meticulous and clean, some are good to eat, let’s see if you can buy ribs later.”
Jian Chu looked at Wu Zheng: "How many points did you exchange for the rest?"
Wu Zheng said: "It's not counted yet, anyway, it's recorded, and the bones plus some leftover meat weigh a few dozen catties more. What we brought back here is only more than twenty catties. If you can't finish it, let's divide it up and freeze it. I don’t have electricity over there, let you guys freeze together.”
Mu Nan said, "No problem."
When the first piece of meat was put into the pot, the roasted oil sizzled, and when it was covered with a little chili powder, it almost brought tears to the eyes of people eating it. How long has it been since I ate meat so comfortably, and it was still so fresh. A moment of enjoyment seems to be able to wipe out all the suffering that has been endured before.
When Xu Ming came back, as soon as he entered the yard, he saw Mu Nan waving at him on the second floor: "Hurry up, hurry up, you are the only one missing!"
Xu Ming thought there was something wrong, so he entered Mu Nan's house without even returning to his own house. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled a strong smell of barbecue before going upstairs, and his expression was suddenly surprised.
Mu Nan smiled and said, "Niu Niu hunted and caught an alpaca, and we just started eating it."
After taking Xu Ming upstairs, Mu Nan went to the kitchen and took out the milk tea. When Song Jia and Jian Chu saw the milk tea, they went crazy, screaming, "Your house still has milk tea!"
Mu Nan used a disposable cup to share a cup with each of them: "The milk tea bags I bought before are not much left, so I will drink one less time." But his brother doesn't like to drink such sweet and greasy things, meaning He took a sip and gave him the rest.
Xu Ming looked at Niuniu who was being fed by Song Jia, and couldn't help sighing: "What a dog, it's a pity it's not a mother."
Song Jia smiled and said, "Even if it's a female, I can't find another male, but even if I can find another female, it's useless. My Niuniu has already been sterilized."
Xu Ming sighed: "Niu Niu eat more meat today, pure lean meat, give it a little scalding, don't bring fat, it is easy to get gastroenteritis."
After eating and drinking enough, everyone was so full that they sat on the ground and didn't want to move. This meal was so satisfying that it was like Chinese New Year.
There is still a lot of meat left, even if one person can kill a catty of meat, there will be at least ten catties left, which will be divided into four equal parts. Jian Chu and the others have a refrigerator, so they take it away, and Wu Zheng and the others put it in Mu Nan. Here it is, anyway, if you want to eat, just shout at the opposite window.
When dividing the meat, Song Jia also asked, "Do you want to give some to our neighbor over there?"
Jian Chu looked at him and raised his eyebrows: "Anyone you like?"
Song Jia rolled her eyes: "How can it be, isn't this thinking about the neighbors?"
Mu Nan said: "Then they may misunderstand who you are interested in." It's not that girls tend to think more, but that girls live among their group of men, and I'm afraid they are a little sensitive. In the past, now you can’t even buy meat. You are so kind to people for no reason.
Song Jia immediately dismissed this idea, and after eating and drinking enough, the whole person began to feel sleepy. Seeing that everyone had almost eaten and hiccupped one by one, Xu Ming said: "Let's end the show, rest early, and have to go to work tomorrow , but I’m afraid you should pay more attention when you go to work again, with alpacas, other animals may not be far away.”
Wu Zheng and the others nodded, and decided to talk about Song Jia when I go back today. If I can go out without a dog in the future, I won’t bring it. There are animals around, and I’m afraid it’s easier to provoke some large beasts, so don’t think that Niuniu is sometimes very useful. There are also many dangers.
Jian Chu helped Mu Nan tidy up a little bit, except for the pot, everything else was disposable, just pack it up and take it out and throw it away. After the place was cleaned up, they went back to their respective homes.
Qin Huai closed the door and went straight up to the third floor. Seeing that it was time for the seeds to soak, Mu Nan didn't want to leave the matter for tomorrow. He hadn't showered anyway, so he simply took the soaked seeds and planted them in pots. Qin Huai Ready to help, Mu Nan waved at him: "Go take a shower, you've been working outside for a whole day, so go to sleep after washing, I'll just bury it in the soil, it's very fast."
Qin Huai saw that he would not let him intervene, so he went into the room to take a shower. After taking a shower, he saw the uninstalled projector on the bed. After reading the manual for a while, he installed it for him. Mu Nan fixed all the seeds outside. After that, he entered the room and saw that Qin Huai was already lying on the bed holding the computer and flipping through movies, but the screen had already been projected onto the opposite wall. The screen was big and clear, so he rushed into the bathroom and rushed to After taking a shower, he threw himself on the bed as soon as he came out.
Qin Huai wiped his hair with a towel. It grew a little longer, but he didn't plan to cut it. It will be winter soon, so keep some hair on his head to keep warm.
Mu Nan sat on the bed and fumbled with his new toy. He hadn't used a projector before, so it was like watching a private movie theater. He found a brain-burning movie and leaned against Qin Huai's side together. Looking at it, I was thinking about the day: "It will snow in a few days, how should we remind them to prepare winter things, it is still so hot, it seems a bit unclear to remind them suddenly."
Qin Huai slightly turned his head to look at the head leaning on his shoulder, and smiled: "Don't worry, everything has warning signs, we already know the result, as long as we pay attention to the warning signs, there is always a way to give a warning without exposing ourselves too much of."
Mu Nan put his legs on Qin Huai's under the blanket. Qin Huai's body was warm in winter and cool in summer, so it was comfortable to be so close to cool.
Qin Huai lowered his eyes to look at him, and raised his leg to press on his leg. Mu Nan immediately began to compete with him, insisting on suppressing him in turn. Laughing, I couldn't stop laughing very soon, when Qin Huai was pressed down on the bed, I couldn't help laughing anymore: "You are so competitive, you have to respect the old and love the young, every time you The desire to gain the upper hand is too inappropriate!"
Qin Huai looked down at him amusedly, and every time he lost, he would babble and want to get back on the field, seeing that he was planning to reprimand him all kinds of evil deeds from the beginning again, Qin Huai bowed his head and kissed him on the forehead Take a sip: "Well, I will love children well in the future."
After Qin Huai finished speaking, he lay back on the bed. Mu Nan couldn't help turning his head to look at him, and touched his forehead. Although this was not the first time Qin Huai kissed his forehead, the kiss just now felt a little weird , So I couldn't help but look at him again.
Qin Huai turned his face away: "Watch your movie, watch what I do."
Mu Nan snorted, turned his back to Qin Huai, and couldn't help touching the place where he was kissed. His brother was used to being close to him since childhood, or something else. There is no one who kisses so easily, girls don't kiss like this, let alone men, Mu Nan's suspicious little eyes turned back carefully, but Qin Huai watched the movie with a frank face, and didn't feel at all that just now What is wrong with his actions, Mu Nan couldn't help being confused again, what does his brother mean by this, is it...interesting or boring.
