Salted Fish Transmigrated Into An Apocalyptic Book - Chapter 56
After Gu Changzhou finished speaking, he really found a **** and hatchet from the house with those hands that once carried the gun and went to weed the ground.
Seeing what Lu Qiming meant, he had no intention of helping.
This is their future home after all, not Gu Changzhou’s.
Jiang Miaomiao was embarrassed to watch, and dragged him into the small building to clean the house.
The structure of the small building is very simple.
The entrance on the first floor is the living room, on the left is the utility room for farm tools, and on the right is the bathroom.
A small bungalow is attached to the back, which is used as a kitchen.
There are two bedrooms on the second floor, a bathroom, and a storage room.
Since they were not blistered, the furniture and appliances still kept their original appearance, but it was covered with dust.
But the house is not so lucky.
It was windy and rainy all day and no one maintained it. A large area of the roof tiles was removed. The rain and water leaked, which caused mold and rot on the floor of a bedroom and hallway. It was absolutely disgusting.
There were cracks in the wall, weeds got in through the cracks, and the creeper covered the whole wall.
In addition, electrical wires, water pipes, and solar water heaters are all damaged to varying degrees. They can’t be used directly and they have to be replaced.
Lu Qiming looked around, compared to their previous small but clean home, and frowned:
“Can you accept this?”
“Yes, why not? How nice it is here.”
Jiang Miaomiao answered without thinking.
“Where is it?”
He can’t tell.
“As long as it’s my home, I think it’s good. Golden kennels and silver kennels are not as good as your own dog kennels. Isn’t that what you said? Well, don’t waste time and work quickly.”
She smiled and stuffed him with a broom, found a rag herself, and began to practice hygiene.
This is a tricky task. Lu Qiming took the broom and turned it twice, without knowing where to start.
Seeing the big rotten floor, he poked it with a broom, and decided it was all.
Clean up the rotten floor, and then, if you have a chance, put on a new floor.
The broom couldn’t do the job. He found a shovel, awl, and hammer, and squatted upstairs and clinked.
Jiang Miaomiao wiped the table on the first floor, and finally wiped the table clean. There was a pounding upstairs, and a layer of dust was shaken and it was dry.
She wiped it again, and the dust continued to fall upstairs, unbearable, and ran up to ask what the other party was doing.
Lu Qiming heard her footsteps and glanced up.
“Here? Just so, let’s help pry it together.”
She looked fascinated by the pile of tools
Mang, “How to do it?”
Lu Qiming taught her, “First start with the skirting line, scrape the glue off with a spatula, pry up the dyed red from the gap, and pry all the sides to loosen it, then you can take out the whole floor… ”
What he said is simple, but Jiang Miaomiao is not simple at all.
The floor is stuck very firmly, and it takes a lot of effort to pry it up.
The tools are so sharp that they will get stuck if you are not careful.
She squatted in a corner, holding an awl in both hands, trying to get the floor out.
Accidentally, the awl dropped out of his hand, poked his finger, and the bright red blood came out.
She conditioned her finger into her mouth.
Lu Qiming worked very well, and suddenly realized that there was no movement behind him, and stopped to ask:
“What’s wrong? Are you injured?”
“No, no…”
Holding her fist in her injured hand, hiding the wound in her palm, she got up and said, “You do it first, I’ll go to the toilet.”
Lu Qiming put down the tools and walked over to block her in front of her. He grabbed her hand without any explanation, broke his fingers, and saw the marks on it.
“No?” He raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Miaomiao bit her lip and tried to hide her hand back.
“It’s just a minor injury. I have band-aids in my bag, and I’ll be fine with one.”
Lu Qiming thought for a while, let go of her and said, “The wound is easy to get infected. If you put the band-aid on it, don’t put it up. Don’t work. Take the dog and play downstairs.”
She disagreed.
“This is my home, how can I not clean up my own home? I can’t live in peace by then.”
“Well, when you are infected with tetanus and will die in a hospital bed, you will feel at ease when I take care of you.”
“…You crow’s mouth.”
Lu Qiming smiled and rubbed her hair.
“Didn’t you like to be lazy before? Now I am not happy to let you be lazy. Let’s play, I can do this job alone.”
Seeing him so determined, she nodded her head.
“Then be careful and don’t hurt your hands.”
“You think everyone is like you.”
Lu Qiming laughed, and went back to get busy.
Jiang Miaomiao went downstairs, found a band-aid to put on himself, and turned around in front of and behind the house with meat, always feeling too boring.
Gu Changzhou is cleaning the grass in the rice field, Lu Qiming is tearing down the floor, she is not doing anything?
Jiang Miaomiao caught a glimpse of a pond not far away, and there were still fish in it. But because it hasn’t been cleaned for too long, the water plants grow so overwhelming that they can’t even see the water surface.
She found something to do and ran home
Find a nail rake, come to the pond, use the nail rake to hook up the water plants.
It looks easy, but it actually consumes energy.
The aquatic plants are all connected to the roots, and there are several trees in one hook.
At this moment, Jiang Miaomiao was very thankful that he had gained a little weight and had also developed some muscles in the rescue team.
Otherwise, with her physique that struggled to catch chickens before the end of the world, it is estimated that she could be pulled down by the water weeds.
Jiang Rourou was bouncing around, and occasionally came to help her, biting the nail rake to help her pull it together.
I don’t know how long it took, most of the water plants were cleared, and someone behind him suddenly laughed and said:
“Second brother, are you free to have lunch now?”
She turned her head in surprise and saw Lu Qiming.
“Did you make lunch?”
“Yeah, I wanted to ask someone what they want to eat, but she’s not good, so she doesn’t want to rest, so she has to run and wave her nine-tooth rake.”
Jiang Miaomiao smiled and wiped his sweat, and raised his finger to the pond.
“There are a lot of fish in it. I have seen more than a dozen fish. The biggest one is almost meaty.”
Lu Qiming looked at the water and nodded.
“In the future, if you have time, I will fish them out to make dried salted fish. Let’s eat first.”
She was hungry a long time ago, so she put down her nails and walked home.
Halfway through, I thought of a person, looked up, and saw Gu Changzhou still standing in the field weeding.
The scorching sun makes people’s faces hurt.
Jiang Miaomiao stopped and patted Lu Qiming’s arm.
“Have you made his meal?”
“No.”
“…Then I’ll do something more, what’s left of the ingredients we brought?”
Lu Qiming said: “He is over 50 years old. He will naturally find something to eat when he is hungry. Does it need you to worry about it?”
“That said, even if we do a long-term job, we still have to take care of the food, right? Besides, he doesn’t need to pay for his work.”
Jiang Miaomiao said that he was going to cook, but was held back by Lu Qiming.
“Don’t bother, he has something to eat.”
“Didn’t you say you didn’t cook his meal?”
“Don’t you just get out if one person saves two bites? Besides, your dog should have lost weight long ago. Give him his meal.”
He would rather be hungry than let her cook for Gu Changzhou.
He didn’t eat enough, so why?
Jiang Miaomiao was dubious, went back to the small building to see the food on the table with his own eyes, and made sure that the portion was enough for everyone, before he walked to the back door to call Gu Changzhou to eat.
The question is…what should I call him?
Mr. Gu?
Not good, too alienated.
Old Gu? They are not so familiar.
Gu Chang
The state wanted her to call her father, but she wouldn’t call it if she was killed.
After struggling for a long time, she held the door frame and shouted:
“Hey! Eat! Take a break!”
Gu Changzhou stopped, glanced at her in the distance, waved his hand to indicate that he knew.
A few minutes later, he came outside the small building, took off his muddy shoes, washed his feet with well water, and walked barefoot into the living room that had been cleaned by Lu Qiming.
Jiang Miaomiao had already served the meal and greeted:
“Sit down and eat.”
He sat down slightly restrained and picked up his chopsticks. Before he had eaten, he heard a chilling sentence next to him.
“You eat less, we have to rely on this grain to last until next month.”
Gu Changzhou: “…”
Jiang Miaomiao smiled dryly, “Don’t listen to him, eat whatever you want, and work if you don’t have enough.”
Lu Qiming sneered, “That’s right, then you should eat more, after all, the dozens of acres of land and the hundreds of fruit trees on the mountain are waiting for you to take care of.”
Gu Changzhou has been tanned these days, and his face is even as black as charcoal when he says that.
Jiang Miaomiao was worried that the two would fight, so he urged.
“Eating and eating, the soup will be cold.”
Lu Qiming really has a set of work. For a short time, not only did he finish the floor and clean up, he also made two dishes and one soup.
A plate of fried pork with potato chips, a plate of garlic eggplant, and a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup.
Jiang Miaomiao drank some soup and was about to praise him. Gu Changzhou suddenly said:
“The soil in those fields is very fat. It is a pity to grow rice. Do you think about what you want to grow?”
She had no idea about this and shook her head.
“What kind of plant is suitable?”
He thought for a while, “How about peanuts? Sowing is right now, usually in more than three months to harvest. The peanuts that are picked can be eaten, and they can be squeezed oil. They are very versatile. Staple foods like rice and wheat are used by the government. People have been sent to the south to reclaim fields and prepare to engage in the American-style large-scale farm model. A few people manage thousands of acres of land, but the demand is not that big.”
When Jiang Miaomiao heard him say this, he became interested and forgot to eat.
“But how do you grow peanuts? I don’t know where to get the seeds.”
Gu Changzhou said: “If you decide to grow peanuts, I know a little bit, so I can help. I also have channels for seeds.”
“Really?” Jiang Miaomiao said with bright eyes, “Thank you so much, then.”
“Ahem!”
Lu Qiming interrupted the conversation between the two and sneered: “You are a soldier and know how to grow peanuts? What’s a joke?”
Gu Changzhou was very calm.
“Serving as a soldier
Before I grew up in the countryside, my grandparents were farmers. Not only do I know how to grow peanuts, but I also know how to grow sweet potatoes, corn, and watermelon. ”
Jiang Miaomiao actually didn’t have much confidence in the two people opening a farm.
After all, they all grew up in the city. They had only heard of and never done farming, and could not find a training class to learn. It was not easy to cross the river by touching the stones.
Hearing Gu Changzhou’s experience at this moment, an idea immediately popped up and hit Lu Qiming with his elbow.
“We just lack an experienced person, or let him be a partner?”
The latter objected immediately: “No!”
“But we don’t know how to farm.”
“If you don’t understand, you can learn, partner with him, and be careful that there are not enough pants left.”
Thinking of the humiliating experience back then, he couldn’t swallow his breath, and didn’t want to give Gu Changzhou even the slightest trust.
Jiang Miaomiao knew that he was minding this, and it was hard to persuade him, so he picked up a bowl for dinner and pretended nothing happened.
Gu Changzhou’s chopsticks stretched towards the plate, ready to pinch potato chips.
Hengkong suddenly stretched out his hand and snatched his dishes.
Lu Qiming issued an order to evict the guests.
“Are you full? Go away when you are full. Don’t stay in the way.”
Gu Changzhou: “…I have to work this afternoon.”
He said it himself. Those fields and orchards are under his control.
Lu Qiming seemed to have completely forgotten what he said before.
“What work? You don’t need to work, we are not without hands.”
He looked at Jiang Miaomiao and had to stand up and say:
“Well, I’ll go back first, call me if I need to.”
Gu Changzhou walked out of the small building, sat on the lid of the well, put on his shoes, and drove out of the farm.
Jiang Miaomiao turned her head back with a dazed expression on her face.
“What are you crazy?”
You want people to work, and you want to drive them away, fine?
Lu Qiming was satisfied with his decision.
The two chatted so happily, if he didn’t drive away, I’m afraid he would have to be an outsider.
“Eat and eat, after eating, let’s go catch fish in the afternoon and grill the fish in the evening.”
It stands to reason that there is so much work waiting to be done, so you should not be lazy in the afternoon.
But Jiang Miaomiao hadn’t eaten grilled fish for a long time. Hearing what he said, a rush of energy poured out of his tired body, and he quickly finished lunch.
The quilt in the small building had long been moldy, so Lu Qiming threw it away and replaced it with the new quilt they brought.
Lying in bed for an hour in the morning, at two o’clock in the afternoon, the two of them carried the bucket with the bucket, the fork with the fork, and the dog went to the pond mightily and started catching fish.
The last days are a disaster for mankind, but it is a paradise for water creatures.
The fry in the pond were still put down a few years ago, and no one has caught them, and each one grows bigger than a cat.
On weekdays, he lurks under the water plants and eats grass and insects for a living.
Now that the water plants have been cleaned by Jiang Miaomiao, the huge body has nowhere to hide, making it irritating to watch.
Lu Qiming exercised his good skills in catching fish on the island. He took the harpoon to aim at the direction, threw it hard, and hit a big fish accurately.
The fish rolled in the water, slapping numerous splashes.
Jiang Miaomiao was about to catch the fish with him when he suddenly felt a cold in the back of his feet. He lowered his head and glanced, making his whole body stiff in fright.
Lu Qiming noticed the change and asked, “What’s wrong?”
She was motionless, her voice trembling.
“Snakes… there are snakes…”
He looked back and saw a **** snake with a fleshy tail, slowly swimming past her feet in flip flops.
Without thinking about it, Lu Qiming stepped on it and twisted it hard.
The **** snake’s head was trampled on, and his body rolled frantically. The tail caught Jiang Miaomiao’s tail and was wrapped around her calf.
The cold temperature and the touch of the scales made her stand upright, screaming frantically and jumping away.
Lu Qiming kept stepping on it, waited for the snake to stop moving, raised his foot to check, and confirmed that it was completely dead, then said to her:
“It’s okay, it’s dead.”
Jiang Miaomiao was so scared that his face was full of tears, squatting in the grass and crying.
Lu Qiming asked: “Are you really going to squat there? Snakes like grass the most, so be careful and get another one.”
She screamed and jumped into his arms.
He held her with a smile and touched her blasted hair.
“Okay, okay, snakes are dead, what are you afraid of? You are not so afraid of seeing zombies.”
She punched him, “It’s not the same thing at all!”
Lu Qiming was hit by her and his chest became stuffy, and he couldn’t help but smile.
“If you hit it with the strength of hitting me, why would you be so scared that you are so scared?”
Jiang Miaomiao ignored him and adjusted for a long time before gradually returning to calm.
Lu Qiming plucked the rattle with a stick and said with satisfaction:
“This thing is quite fat, and it doesn’t look like poisonous. Why don’t you take it home for the stew?”
“stew?”
Jiang Miaomiao didn’t dare to look at it, and shook his head with the nausea, “No.”
“Try it, snake soup is very nutritious.”
“Oh… take it away!”
Seeing that she was turning her face off, Lu Qiming had to give up her plan and picked the snake corpse away from the bushes and threw it away.
Jiang Miaomiao eased his breath and went to watch the fish.
The fish struggled with a fork for a long time, already half dead.
Lu Qiming went into the water to fish it up, Jiang
Miao Miao pierced it with water and scraped the scales.
He stood by and looked around, feeling sorry for the snake meat.
“They all swim in the water, and they all have scales. How can you not accept snakes? Don’t you want to taste something fresh?”
Jiang Miaomiao asked gloomily: “Do you like to taste fresh?”
He nodded.
She grabbed a handful of fish scales and rushed over.
“The fish scales that have just been scraped off are very fresh, taste enough!”
More than two hours passed in a blink of an eye.
Seeing that the sun was about to go down, I remembered that I still had to grill fish, so I carried the bucket and went home.
The fish had to weigh seven or eight catties, and the bucket could not fit.
The head was stuck in it upside down, half of the big tail was exposed.
The stove at home is a bit small, they are reluctant to cut it up and want to bake it whole.
So Lu Qiming picked up a pile of firewood and broken bricks, set up a stove in the open space behind the house, inserted the fish with a large steel fork, and set it up on the fire.
Jiang Miaomiao moved all the seasoning they brought to the side, and while he turned the steel fork, she brushed up the seasoning.
The fish was too big and it took an hour to cook intermittently.
When the sunset clouds cover the sky, the aroma of grilled fish spreads across the farm.
Jiang Rou has been coveting meat for a long time, and seeing them put the grilled fish on the table, jumping up and down beside him, he couldn’t wait to taste it separately.
Jiang Miaomiao took the lead in picking up the chopsticks, holding a piece of fish into his mouth.
Lu Qiming asked with his bowl and chopsticks:
“how is it?”
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, thumbs up.
“awesome!”
The fish was tender and salty, and the skin was grilled crispy and fragrant, which was better than what she had eaten in the restaurant before.
Lu Qiming was triumphant, like a pupil who found a dollar and gave it to the police.
“Hehe.”
Jiang Miaomiao was full of enthusiasm, “There are so many fish in the pond, let’s roast one a day, it’s delicious!”
Lu Qiming: “…cough cough, I’ll finish eating first.”
There were wildly growing sweet potatoes in the small vegetable field next to them. They pinched some tender leaves and fry them to serve as vegetables.
Grilled fish, sweet potato leaves, served with seaweed soup and white rice.
The first night in my new home was delicious and fulfilling.
The farm’s night is very cool, opening the windows is more comfortable than turning on the air conditioner.
There were many mosquitoes. Jiang Miaomiao pulled out an old mosquito net from the closet. Lu Qiming knocked a few nails on the wall, hung the mosquito net on it, and slept peacefully.
When I woke up the next day, the sun was already basking.
Jiang Miaomiao turned on the phone to check the time, and jumped in shock.
“Unbelievable!”
Lu Qi
Ming was awakened by her, yawning, rubbing her chicken coop-like hair.
“what happened?”
“It’s almost noon!”
“What does that matter? We don’t have to go to work.”
Yes, she later realized that she had resigned, and she lay down again. After lying down for a few minutes, she decided to get up.
Now the two are completely self-reliant, and if they are always lazy, they might really be out of food.
“Get up and get up, don’t sleep.”
She pushed him while she was getting dressed.
Lu Qiming hugged the pillow and rolled, and said miserably:
“My head hurts so much, I feel like it’s going to explode. My waist hurts, my back hurts, and my ankles hurt.”
Jiang Miaomiao became nervous.
“Is it tired or a sequelae of surgery?”
“No way, can I take a day off today?”
It’s all like this, of course he has to rest.
Jiang Miaomiao agreed and prepared to go downstairs by himself.
Behind him came his order: “Remember to wash off the pots and pans that I used yesterday, and wash my clothes and shoes. Clean up and make breakfast by the way. Yesterday’s meal was too spicy, so let’s have something light in the morning. . Not demanding, make me a handmade noodle…”
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Miaomiao had already returned to the bed, grabbing his collar and grinding his molars and said:
“get up.”
He was so sick that he even ate hand-made noodles, 100% pretending to be.
Lu Qiming looked at her pitifully.
“Didn’t you say you will take care of me forever?”
“You said you won’t lie to me for a lifetime, get up!”
In her posture like chasing ducks, Lu Qiming was coaxed downstairs to obediently wash the dishes and cook.
Jiang Miaomiao was not idle either, washed the clothes with well water, and swept the small building up and down.
The most leisurely thing is Jiang Rourou. I went to the orchard for a walk early in the morning, and I came back just in time for the meal. I took a lunch break when I was full.
The two of them finished their housework and prepared to do farm work.
Don’t worry about the fish ponds for the time being, the fields need to be cleared out to grow food.
The fruit in the orchard will mature for about a month, and it will be a long time.
So during this time, let’s settle the field first.
The two put on straw hats and carried hoes to get the weeds that Gu Changzhou didn’t finish yesterday.
Gu Changzhou didn’t show up for three consecutive days. On the fourth day, he drove to the farm and brought them many seeds.
He said peanuts, sweet potatoes, corn, lettuce, leeks, carrots and potatoes.
He even brought a cage of chickens and a cage of ducklings, and several snakeskin bags to keep them in the shack.
There are so many things, Jiang Miaomiao doesn’t know where he got it.
I dare not accept those who come.
Gu Changzhou sighed and said, “It’s better to keep it, I will resign in a few days.”
“resignation?”
She looked at him incomprehensibly, and Lu Qiming, who was washing his hair, also raised his wet head.
He nodded.
“The new currency will be issued soon, and I am going to start a company like before and do my own business.”
He still can’t stand this mediocre and busy life. He is still far from retirement when he is in his fifties, so he might as well take advantage of the recovery of society.
Gu Changzhou has already contacted a few former friends and subordinates, preparing to open a restaurant in partnership.
People have been eating in the canteen for several years, and they should have longed for a richer diet. They hire a few cooks, find an empty store, and make a name for themselves before others discover business opportunities.
When you save a sum of money, you can continue to expand into other industries.
If the two farms are well opened, they might become his supplier.
After hearing his plan, Jiang Miaomiao could only admire.
She wants to start a business in her 50s, but she is already planning to take care of her pension in her 20s. It’s simply incomparable.
Lu Qiming shook the water on his head, his tone rarely calm.
“Work hard, you will definitely make a lot of money.”
Gu Changzhou was surprised, “You…want my business to succeed?”
“why not?”
He shrugged and walked to Jiang Miaomiao’s arms around her shoulders, “When we are too lazy to farm, we will run to you to eat and drink. Surely you won’t refuse?”
Gu Changzhou: “…”
Jiang Miaomiao smiled dryly, “Haha, he’s joking, we can feed ourselves.”
He thought about it, but he relaxed.
“It’s okay, I will make good money, and you are welcome to come and rub me.”
Gu Changzhou had an appointment with someone to discuss business, and he would leave after unloading his things, leaving them with a lot of seeds, a group of barking chickens and ducks, and a few planting guides and breeding guides.
Neither of them had any farming experience, so they didn’t dare to mess around casually. After feeding the chickens and ducks some water, they sat in the living room and studied those books.
Jiang Miaomiao went back to the time when he was learning to cook from the recipe.
Obviously I can understand every word, and the meaning of the combination is also understood, but after reading it, it is like not reading it, my head is still empty and without direction.
Lu Qiming was similar to her, closing the book impatiently.
“Don’t read it, try again.”
Anyway, there are so many mistakes, there is a chance to start all over again.
They moved the chickens and ducks from the cage to the shed, sprinkled some feed, and then selected many different seeds, which were covered with wet paper towels according to Jiang Miaomiao’s previous method of planting bean sprouts.
A few days later, many small white buds emerged from the seeds.
The two raked a few acres of soil, sowed it, and then waited for them to grow.
