Chapter 519: The Fourth Year of Mudslides (Second Update)

Jingshu hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the red envelope honestly, the bright red 0.01 showed off mercilessly. Jingshu turned off her phone and just wanted to be quiet now.

I will never grab red envelopes again next time.

It was not until Jing's father and mother each sent her a red envelope of 600 virtual coins that the 26-year-old Jingshu felt much better. Although she was an old girl, in the eyes of her parents, no matter whether she had a family or not, no matter how old she was, she would always be a child and she had to give her New Year's money.

Jing's mother gave 100 virtual coins to Xiao Shuen and her uncle's son Su Long each. Li Yun looked at them eagerly without saying a word. After all, it would be bad for him to ask for New Year's money when he was almost 30. As for Jingshu, who was so old and still had New Year's money, he said he was also envious.

Jingshu and Wu Youai both gave Xiao Shuen 50 virtual coins as New Year's money. Li Yun was about to cry. He only had 10 virtual coins in total, which he had saved for a long time. He could only act like an ostrich and keep silent.

This year, there were so many people and the house was warm. The adults didn't want to go to bed, saying they wanted to keep watch. Grandma Jing and Grandpa Jing couldn't bear it anymore and went to bed.

Third Aunt and Grandma Jing still had a lot of work to do: feed for chickens, ducks and cows had to be prepared. In order to save feed, there were no vegetable roots or rotten leaves at home, so they had to mix more insect cakes. Fortunately, insects are high in protein, so the chickens lay more eggs.

Even if a little spiritual spring water was added, nutrition had to be supplemented, and beans and grains had to be added. The trouble was that the weather was cold now, so cold water could not be used to mix the food. Boiling water had to be used. Only in this way would the poultry like to eat the food, and they would grow well and produce abundantly.

The crops on the balcony had to be taken care of, the pigs and cows in the backyard had to be watched, the milk had to be squeezed out in advance, the mushroom house in the front yard had to be taken care of, and so on. Even Jingshu had to inspect it every night before going to bed, and she had to take care of the fruits and bees in the greenhouse, and there were so many pets to take care of, and she had to share the rain and dew.

There was a reason why Jingshu's family was rich, and they had the capital to have fish and meat on the table every day.

The TV was playing programs, and the children were drinking milk tea and eating candies on the sofa, watching TV happily.

Mahjong was played on the dining table, and Landlord was played on the coffee table. It had been a long time since such a lively New Year scene had been seen.

Jingshu thought, this might be the happiness in the ordinary, if it could always be this ordinary happiness.

But obviously, it would not be so satisfactory.

The warm time has only passed for a few days, and the whole country is still immersed in the welfare of the Spring Festival carnival. People who don’t have enough food every day can finally let go of their stomachs and eat buffets in these few days. How can they not be happy? The food is also better than usual. This time, two dishes were added, one wild vegetable and one rice porridge, but each person is limited to one bowl and can only choose 1 of 2.

This is the same as the buffet before the end of the world, abalone porridge and hairy crab 2 choose 1, which makes people very entangled.

Seeing that they could not live in the villa, and even ordinary houses were not available, the second uncle's family was secretly anxious, and they could not help eating in the big canteen, "We will find a way after these few days."

"The canteen in this city is delicious, and the worm cakes in the countryside are not made with care. Look at the city, there are more than a dozen ways to make them."

"How can they be compared? The cakes in the city are pure meat, and ours in the countryside are half made of soil."

Yes, the canteen in the countryside has long started to add soil. Because there is a red nematode cake factory in Wucheng, some worm cakes are supplied every day as a buffer, and there are some old grain stocks in the warehouse, so they have not reached the point of eating soil, but Jingshu estimates that after the New Year, it will be almost the same.

The soil is not Guanyin soil, but a kind of swelling soil. This kind of soil can fill the stomach to a certain extent, but it is not easy to digest. It is fine in the short term, but if you eat it for a long time, your stomach will get bigger and bigger, until...boom!

This is a kind of soil that has been specially processed and screened layer by layer. It is edible and rich in certain substances needed by the human body.

If someone had told Jingshu before the end of the world that this soil can also be eaten, and not only can it be eaten, but it can also be made into small cookies and dry food, Jingshu would never have believed it.

But now that there is nothing left, what can't be eaten? Some people are hungry and eat soil. The smart and frugal Chinese people have learned how to eat soil from their African compatriots.

Although it is not as harmful as Guanyin soil, which can kill people after eating it for a few meals, it is also seriously harmful. But in this situation where people are almost starving to death, who cares so much?

Besides, now you can still eat some soil, but by next year, you can't even eat soil.

Jingshu thought, "Is the job of digger going to come out?"

This job is very hard, because you have to dig a pit several meters deep to find fine soil, and then go through steps such as crushing and filtering to get the finest soil.

Finally, it is handed over to the canteen. The canteen aunties then add some flour and salt to the soil, or add some insects, and stir it into a paste. Then they dig out a small piece and spread it into a cake or strip, and then make a cake embryo.

This food, which has very little cost but can feed many people, quickly became popular.

And they often only need to stick it around the burning garbage station, and then a piece of dry food earthworm cake is made.

The mudslide in the fourth year is the best time to make earthworm cakes, especially when it has not started to solidify. As long as the diggers are willing to endure hardships, they can get enough raw materials with their hands without special tools, and thus can get a lot of virtual currency.

But after the second half of the year, the earth was completely solidified, and the diggers had no choice. Coupled with the cold, the ground was completely solidified into cement, and even the soil could not be dug out. All the food was eaten up, and the weather was very cold. The test at that time really came.

So being able to eat soil was also a blessing.

There was muddy water on the mountain!

More and more muddy water poured out from the surroundings!

At first, everyone didn't take it seriously. After all, there were floods and earthquakes that year. What's the big deal if there was just some muddy water flowing on the mountain? It's not a life-threatening thing.

But soon everyone found something wrong.

And the facts also proved that something was wrong.

If it was just a place that occasionally flowed muddy water, it would be fine, but more and more places began to gush muddy water, and some volcanoes even erupted with turbulent muddy water, directly submerging several surrounding towns!

The drone footage could only capture that in just one night, the mudslides rushed down from the mountains like crazy, swallowing up everything in their way. Fortunately, there was an early warning for tens of thousands of people in the town, and the mudslides were not as fast as floods, which gave them time to escape. The mayor was also very experienced and organized everyone to escape with the necessary food.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Jingshu's family had been crowded in the house in the morning, eating breakfast and watching the news, and then they saw this live broadcast.
