In the early morning, the people in Jiafu Supermarket started their busy day again when the sun shone through the window. The variety of breakfast began to become monotonous over time, and foods such as cakes and bread had long since passed their expiration date, which had been discarded by the family girls, and the only options left were brewed foods: cereal, milk, instant noodles, etc. Fortunately, the eight-treasure porridge and preserved egg and ham porridge cooked by Ji Wenwen are very delicious, and they also make up for the lack of breakfast types.

There are no fresh greens in the supermarket, and the few quick-frozen mixed vegetables have become a delicacy that everyone looks forward to every meal, and when the bags of green beans, corn and diced carrots are taken out of the freezer, they often attract cheers from two snack goods.

The only way to supplement vitamins is bags of kimchi, shredded kelp and radish sticks, which are very good for rice, so they will appear on the table every meal.

Under the leadership of Aunt Luo, several girls racked their brains every day to find ways to develop new recipes, and most of the ingredients that could be used in the supermarket were some dry goods from the north and south. Needless to say, white fungus, wolfberry, dried longan and lotus seeds will be used to make soup; Yuba, bacon, vermicelli, ham and shrimp skin were also tried differently by them; Dried cuttlefish and shiitake mushrooms are also delicious, but after eating these things for a long time, everyone misses fresh vegetables the most.

"Why don't we grow some greens ourselves," said Aunt Luo, who was still busy after breakfast, remembering some acquaintances she had met in the fourth phase of Yulan Xiangyuan, who liked to grow something in their yards and balconies.

"Ah, yes!" Aunt Luo's words reminded the other girls that this proposal made everyone excited, and no one wanted to treat their stomachs and tongues badly.

"If we grow our own vegetables, how long will it take to harvest them?" Zou Qiqi asked. Most of the young girls have no experience in this area, and the fast-paced life in the big city makes them rarely know about things like firewood, rice, oil and salt, and ordering takeout and going to restaurants have become their daily routine.

"If you want time," Aunt Luo thought for a while and said, "The best ones to plant should be leeks, coriander, and shallots, which are cold and heat-resistant, and are not easy to attract insects to get sick, and basically they can grow up by inserting them in the soil." ”

"These three are the fastest growing," Aunt Luo continued, "Radish takes about a few months, and amaranth is faster, just over a month. However, if we only need to harvest leaf sprouts, pea seedlings and arugula can also be planted, as well as mustard greens, which will grow leaves in about 30 days. ”

"Aunt Luo, I used to grow cherry radish, and I can eat it in less than a month," Ah Cai planted this cute plant when she was in school, and this small radish is called cherry radish because of its similar appearance to cherries.

After discussion, the girls learned that most of the vegetables basically take months or even more than half a year to mature, but none of them plan to give up for this reason, the road to survival is a long way to go, no matter how much food in the supermarket will be eaten one day, and the food has a shelf life, it will be too late to think about growing food after a year or two.

"Let's see what seeds we can find," Luo Jia said, "and we can't plant anything without seeds." ”

"We have the seeds," Ah Cai said to Luo Jia, "When we first arrived at the Jiafu supermarket, we found a batch of bagged seeds, but I don't remember what kind of seeds, I kept them in the storage warehouse at that time. ”

"Great," Zou Qiqi clapped her hands, "Let's just do it, it's not too late to start planting." ”

"But we don't have a place to plant," Ji Wenwen said, "and there's no soil." ”

"The soil can be found in the green belt of the community," Yang Ju said.

"If it's a place, let's go and discuss it with Chen Bin and them," Zou Qiqi looked at Ah Cai and threw her a "I'll leave it to you" look.

"You young people still have a way," Aunt Luo looked at these girls who spoke enthusiastically, and her heart was very happy. In the public institution where she used to work, everyone was superfluous, and they shirked each other when they did things, and after finally staying up to the age of retirement, Aunt Luo said that she was unwilling to accept rehiring, and she was directly idle at home. Now in the Jiafu supermarket, she sees a different atmosphere.

When Ah Cai found Chen Bin, they were about to set off to investigate the situation in the detention center. After hearing Ah Cai's explanation, Chen Bin immediately called out to Qiao Xingyu, who was also going out.

"Xingyu, Aunt Luo is taking the lead in preparing to take everyone to grow vegetables in Jiafu," Chen Bin said, "I think this is a good thing, Jiafu's food reserves will be consumed one day, and these foods have a shelf life, and once they expire, they basically can't be wanted." This reminds me that we need to plan ahead. ”

"It makes sense, we have neglected this area before," Qiao Xingyu nodded, "If we can be self-sufficient in food, we will have the capital to survive in the apocalypse." Tell me, what do you need us to do? ”

"Today is my group going to the detention center, you go to Lianhua to haul supplies and come back," Chen Bin thought for a while, "I thought about it, Lianhua's materials are not in a hurry to transport them in the next few days, you just help Aunt Luo and them get some soil from the community first, and then we will open up a place in the Jiafu supermarket to start planting vegetables." ”

"Where is the best place to choose?" Wei Qiming asked.

"The second floor shouldn't work," Zhao Guangcheng thought for a while and said, "This is our living area, and the materials for family portraits are mainly concentrated on this floor." ”

"In terms of location, only the top floor parking lot is suitable, and it is the best choice in terms of lighting and ventilation." Chen Bin said with a smile, "Sooner or later, we will develop it, and now it's time to clean up the zombies in the parking lot on the top floor." ”

"What about security?" Da Fei was most concerned about this, the three of them were able to enter the Jiafu Supermarket through the parking lot on the top floor, and if he vacated a loophole in the defense of the Jiafu Supermarket in order to grow vegetables, he was a little hesitant in his heart.

"Don't worry, Xingyu, you bring the dirt first," Chen Bin said confidently, "We can use the abandoned cars above to block the passage from below, and it is not so easy for others to come up directly." ”

"That's right, the people outside really want to plot against us, and those zombies on the top floor can't stop it." The monkey nodded, "Just like when we went to Lianhua Supermarket to beat Li Guoqiang and them, there are a lot of zombies nearby, don't you and Brother Zhang Si also go in and out a few times." ”

"There are more of us, so we have to be bolder, and it's not our style to stay in the supermarket all the time." Chen Bin said, "It would be nice to collect more information from the outside world, and we are now like an island in the middle of an ocean." ”

"Ah Cai, you go and tell Aunt Luo that they will solve the problem of soil, Xingyu, and wait for us to come back later, and then open up the parking lot on the top floor for you to use." Chen Bin turned his head to Ah Cai and said, "I remember you took the seeds and put them in the storage warehouse, right?" ”

"Do you remember that?" Ah Cai smiled and told him, "Be careful when you go out." ”

"You too," Ah Cai added to everyone, and then turned to leave.

"Brother Chen is so blessed," Cao Shengli said enviously, "I also said that I will go home to ask for my daughter-in-law after the completion of the New Year this year, and now it seems that my future daughter-in-law will be hanging." ”

Chen Bin smiled and led everyone into action.

Qiao Xingyu's plan for the two groups was adjusted, they were originally going to Lianhua Supermarket, but they were temporarily changed to digging soil in the community. This is not difficult, there is a green belt near the east gate of the community, and you can start digging through the small iron gate, what they need to pay attention to is to pay attention to the safety of the surroundings.

Chen Bin and the others got into Wei Qiming's car, and Wei Qiming drove the car out of the main entrance of the community. After the car got on Zhangdong Road, it began to turn left, and it didn't take long to turn onto Zhangheng Road.

The car drove slowly on the road full of abandoned vehicles, Wei Qiming's driving skills were very good, and when the car was in his hands, it was like an old car he had driven for many years.

On the right side of the road is the third phase of Magnolia Xiangyuan, and on the left is a two-story tiled house. Ropes were tied between the adjacent trees on the sidewalk, and some bedding and clothes hung to dry on them were worn out by the wind, rain and scorching sun, and the few pieces of clothing that had fallen on the ground were already covered with dust and could not be seen in their original appearance.

The people who live in the tiled area are poor people who have started a small business nearby, and the original owners of the houses have long since moved to new houses that are more spacious and comfortable. Many of the heads of households in Yulan Xiangyuan are nearby demolition households, and the houses in this tiled area are part of the later ones to be demolished. Many people live a different life with their houses and demolitions, but a disaster shatters their lives, and these steel and concrete become meaningless at this moment.

Wei Qiming looked at everything outside the window, and felt a little feeling in his heart, a few friends he knew had lived in this tiled house area before. They all set up a stall nearby to make a supper or something like that, Wei Qiming had come to them a few times to drink before, these people had a dream of buying a house in Songhu like him, and when they had three rounds of drinking, everyone was looking forward to the future with red faces.

Wei Qiming knows the cruelty of reality, and he and his friends are reluctant to mention the possibility of realizing their dreams, because everyone is afraid of inadvertently breaking their dreams.

"Old Wei, when you drive to the front, stop a little," Chen Bin's voice came from beside him, interrupting Wei Qiming's memories.
