Jinglai quietly took out a big bowl of rice and ate it, she couldn't help but think about what Jingshu said: "The third aunt has not eaten well these days, and the meal prepared by my mother is also prepared for you, and my mother can't finish it, so you can bring it, otherwise it will be wasted." ”

The corners of Jing Lai's eyes were a little moist, Jing Shu, this child was shrewd, and what she deliberately said in order to take care of her face, that is, she had strong self-esteem and couldn't wipe off her face.

Otherwise, he gave his brother and daughter-in-law four dishes every day, and in order to take care of her, he didn't let her be too eye-catching, and mixed the rice together every time, so that people couldn't see what she was eating.

This is obviously a meal specially prepared for her, she remembers this true feeling, and at the critical moment, blood relatives still care about you!

"Come on, your family has prepared food for you again? You are so happy, you come out to work and take care of the meal and bring another one yourself, how can it be like I save half a day and take it home, and buy food for my children for a month's work. ”

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

"Why do I smell so good? Why do you still smell the pork ribs? Let me see! "One with a pointed nose came over.

"No, you see it's moldy brown rice." Jinglai generously took the bowl over, and only a black lump of rice could be seen in the dimness.

"It smells so good, and I smell the potatoes."

"You may be hallucinating, smelling smells fragrant."

Jinglai quietly swallowed a piece of meat with no bones removed, and ate the pork ribs and stewed potatoes mixed with sesame seeds pressed under the rice, "Eat it quickly, and after eating, you have to go up and finish the five grains." ”

That is, those who work in the canteen can occasionally eat a meal of white rice, and now that the government is looking at food tightly, ordinary people can only exchange labor for cheap relief meals.

……

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

The 5 tons of water that Jingshu's family exchanged last time to water vegetables and feed poultry, but there are only 3 tons of water left for various domestic uses.

Otherwise, having a hood is really going to suffocate people's rhythm, and the fish in the fish pond can't stand such high temperatures, so no matter how little water the government distributes, they have to receive it.

When I came to the supermarket again, the surrounding area was already densely packed with S-shaped queues, everyone was chapped but excited waiting to enter the canteen, they all knew that they were happy to welcome the Dragon Boat Festival, and they had a buffet for three days in a row, which was full of people, which excited countless people.

There was also a long queue on the water side, but fortunately, ten water outlets were added, and everyone was in a hurry to go to the place to eat after receiving it.

There is a high barbed wire fence in the middle, and the canteen can still be seen in the faint light.

This time, the government also made a lot of money and used all the spices it collected, and the whole canteen exuded all kinds of fragrances.

Jing Shu could see two rows of pots of food neatly placed on the table from afar, and behind each pot stood a spoonful shouting:

"Taste my palace explosion grain worm! Delicious and delicious. ”

"You deserve to have dried grain worms, you can eat as much as you want."

"Cantonese special fried grain worms, come and come to give you a taste, how can I add another spoonful to you, eat more!"

The cafeteria aunt not only changed her hand to shake off most of the problems with a spoonful, but also added it to your bowl vigorously.

Everyone who came excitedly originally thought that the worst thing to do was to eat mushrooms, but they were dumbfounded on the spot when they looked at the maggots that were all cooked, and some of the maggots in the pot were still moving, and they were clearly not cooked.

Some of the maggots in the pot have been chopped into meat sauce, which looks disgusting, and most of the maggots are still dirty and unprocessed.

"It doesn't seem to be the same as I imagined..."

"Said to be a good buffet, just Nima gave us this kind of food? Can you eat this thing? It can't be taken out of the pit, right? ”

"Disgust me!"

But there are also people who have been hungry for several days, and they don't care about the smell of such a fragrant smell, so they pick a few flavors that seem okay and eat them.

At this time, the cafeteria broadcast began: "Take as much as you eat, each person has a time limit of 30 minutes, if you find that there is a waster to report you can get 2 virtual coins, the waster will deduct 5 virtual coins, and the virtual currency is more than minus 10 will be reformed through labor!" ”

In order to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, Aijia Supermarket opened a buffet of grain worms for three consecutive days, and only 0.5 virtual coins per person were needed. And every day, 10 citizens who eat the most will be selected, and each person will be rewarded with 10 virtual coins. ”

"At the same time, Aijia Supermarket has added a special counter for recycling grain worms, 0.5 virtual coins per kilogram of grain worms are recycled, and unlimited recycling is carried out every day.

At this time, people are no longer like the first two months of the end of the world, when they can't drink muddy water and get tired of eating white rice.

After a month or two of starvation, although they couldn't accept eating maggots, most people still chose to eat after hesitating for a few minutes.

What's the solution?

Hungry and thirsty, you can't drink water if you choose 2 points of white rice, you can't eat if you choose to drink more than a bottle of water, now 0.5 points are very precious, the clothes and bedding at home have been changed, the dead have nothing to change at home, if you don't eat, you have to starve to death, let's eat.

In order to live.

Some aunts in charge saw that no one came to eat their own, and they were also ruthless, so they grabbed the maggots in the pot and stuffed them into their mouths, "Everyone come to see what I eat, it's delicious!" "Anyway, if no one eats it, she has to finish it.

The lady in charge of the spoon enthusiastically promoted and sent it out, and most people gradually accepted to eat this food, but it was not enough time to eat.

The bald man looked at the scene and the long queue outside, so he shouted on the loudspeaker: "It's time for this batch, change the next batch!" ”

"This salt and pepper tastes so delicious!"

I don't know if it's the high-grade raw materials or the fragrance of the condiments, or the clever cooking techniques, a pepper and salt grain worm has laid a word-of-mouth signboard in Aijia Supermarket.

There was a long queue here in Jinglai, and when others hadn't finished eating a pot, the seven or eight pots she made had already been eaten, and those who had eaten said they still wanted to eat!

"It's not there today, let's come back tomorrow!" Jinglai wiped his sweat and said with satisfaction.

The bald man patted Jinglai: "You did a good job, I will promote you to be the leader of the group today, come on!" ”

……

Jing Shu saw this familiar scene, as if she saw her self in her previous life from the expressions of those people who hesitated, panicked and gritted their teeth to accept it, and in this life, she unconsciously changed her fate, and she no longer had to eat maggots, which was good.

"Hurry up and finish getting the water and go back to wrapping zongzi." Jing Niang sighed and shook her head, "We also came over like this when there was a famine, and we ate whatever we could." ”
