The bedding on the bedroom bed is clean and has a pristine scent of cotton wool.

There are six sets of clothes in the wardrobe, three for men and three for women.

"The clothes in the house are a statistic," the middle-aged woman explained, "for those who live here for a long time, proving that there are three clothes that can be reversed."

"You're here for a tour, so you don't have to change all the clothes in the house into what you fit. Just change your body. No matter where you go, there is a place to change and wash clothes, and you can change and wash anytime and anywhere.

"When you leave, you should take all your things with you, and stay on the throne wherever you are in the evening. The room was exactly the same as this side, a general size. You don't have to go back to your original residence. As long as you have a card in your hand, you can eat and live wherever you go. ”

"Where's the house key? How do I return it? ”

Qi Xiaoting asked puzzled. If you are not familiar with the place, don't lose things to others.

The middle-aged woman smiled: "We don't have a house key here, and all the doors are unlocked. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "What should I do if I lose something?" ”

Middle-aged woman: "Don't worry, there are no thieves here." ”

Qi Xiaoting stuck out her little tongue, secretly admiring the security here in her heart.

Qi Xiaoting: "If we just sit in the car and sit over, how can we complete the labor tasks required to eat?" ”

Middle-aged woman: "If you're traveling by bus, this is a better solution." There are layered marlian grass on the car, which can be woven while sitting in the car, and the task can be completed quickly.

"If you have a long way to go and continue to travel tomorrow, you don't have to rush back at night, just enthrone and stay in the community where you settled."

Qi Xiaoting: "How do I notify you?" Is it a phone call or > middle-aged woman: "No need to know, as soon as you check in there, I'll know here." ”

Qi Xiaoting asked a few more precautions, and the middle-aged woman answered patiently until no one asked questions before leaving.

"What kind of system is this, you can't buy food even if you have money!" Qi Chaoyang complained incomprehensibly.

Long Yi: "People say that there is no currency in circulation here, so let's follow the customs." ”

"I don't think we're stupid than anyone else, they can do it, and we can't go hungry." Qi Yongsheng said wittily.

Ma Qiongying pointed to the straw weaving pattern on the wall and said: "I think their straw weaving is very simple and easy to learn. ”

Yan Funu pointed to the straw pigtail and said, "I look at the number of times this is like the wheat straw pigtail we braided when we were young, but it is much wider than that." ”

Ma Qingbiao: "I will do this too, we can count on this mixed rice." ”

Qi Xiaoting: "I think our clothes are very outdated here, so it's better to take a set here and go to the changing room to change the right clothes." Ours takes it with us, and then puts it back on when we go. ”

"Let's go, let's all go, pick out your own clothes."

One is to see the changing room here, and the other is to choose the clothes you like for yourself, and the seven people agreed.

The laundry room is very large, and the clothes inside are hung on the drying rack by model, and there are all kinds of sizes and models, one row after another, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

The waiter asked each person what model of clothes they were wearing, and then they were brought to the drying rack of that model and let themselves choose freely.

"That's where the clothes are washed?" Qi Xiaoting looked at the laundry room on the side and asked.

"Yes." The waiter said, "Behind the changing room is the bathroom, you can choose your clothes, go to the bathroom to take a shower, and change into clean clothes."

"I put it in the laundry room and there is a staff to wash it. Bathing, changing clothes, laundry, it's all here. It's okay to go home and change your clothes, just send your changed clothes over. ”

"What do you use to disinfect?" Qi Xiaoting thought about hygiene.

"Disinfection?" The waiter was surprised: "We never disinfect clothes!" ”

Qi Xiaoting: "Then, what kind of detergent do you use?" ”

The waiter shook his head: "No, just use pure natural mineral water." But don't worry, our water quality is very good, and it can destroy all bacteria and viruses on your clothes. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "In this building, all the clothes are washed here?" ”

Waiter: "It's not just this building, it's also going to be anywhere else." Just change one for the other. ”

Except for Long Yi, the seven people listened with mixed feelings: they praised the convenience here, and they were worried about hygiene.

"Actually, don't be afraid." After coming out, Long Yi said to everyone: "It is very likely that there is some trace element in the mineral water here, which can clean up bacteria on clothes or something." Otherwise, it would not be uniform across the country, and collective laundry and changing clothes would be implemented. ”

At this time, Long Yi has become a very remarkable figure in the minds of the six old men. Seeing him say this, he also nodded in approval.

Although Qi Xiaoting was still suspicious, seeing that everyone recognized it, she had no choice but to slip away and put the hygiene aside.

Dinner was served in the cafeteria of the complex.

Inside is a large restaurant that can accommodate hundreds of people, with hundreds of dishes, meat and vegetables; There are more than 20 kinds of staple foods, all kinds of coarse and fine grains.

It's all a buffet, and you can choose whatever you want with your own bowls and plates. On every food point and every table, it is written: eat as much as you want, and do not waste a grain or a leaf.

Qi Xiaoting glanced at the people around her, and found that everyone was disciplined and paced, eating as much as they wanted, and after eating, the dishes were clean.

There are also those who are not sure, at the beginning to take less, feel that they are not full, and then go to take some. There was nothing left in the dishes when I left.

"We also follow the local customs and follow the rules and regulations here."

Qi Xiaoting said to the six old men.

In order not to be hungry tomorrow, when they went upstairs after eating, everyone did not forget to take a handful of layered marlian grass and returned to the building to learn how to weave.

"Isn't this the same as the Marlian grass we have there?" Qi Yongsheng shook the long leaves in his hand and said, "It's just a little wider and thicker than the one we have there, why is it called a layered horse lotus grass?" ”

Qi Xiaoting picked up one and separated it layer by layer from the incision, making a total of seven layers.

"So much!" Qi Chaoyang said, picked up a piece and stretched it vigorously, but he didn't break it: "The toughness of people here is greater than ours there, no wonder it is used for weaving, and it is really good at using brains." ”

Geng Guizhen: "Actually, we also have a useful item there: when we were young, we often used Ma Lian as a rope to tie zongzi.

"Cut it in autumn, dry it and put it away, when you tie the zongzi with it, soak it through and soak it softly, and it is not easy to break it no matter how you tie it, so that the wrapped zongzi will not break no matter how you cook it."

Ma Qingbiao: "Ma Lian can not only be used to bundle zongzi, but also the earliest and oldest commodity packaging used by the people.

"I remember when I was a child, when I went to the market, those who sold fritters and oil cakes were bundled with Ma Lian, those who sold pork were tied with Ma Lian, and those who sold fresh fish also put Ma Lian into the gills and mouths of the fish, so that the buyers could carry them away.

"Even the cooked foods such as pig's head meat, sheep's head meat, and beef in sauce are wrapped in lotus leaves, and then tied up with Ma Lian and handed over to the buyer."

Ma Qiongying: "It's a pity that I don't use it now, I always use plastic bags." There is plastic waste everywhere, polluting the environment and polluting the land. ”

Ryuyi: "We learned here, ask them to go back and plant some seeds, and also develop this industry with us, replacing plastic packaging bags. ”

Qi Xiaoting: "This is a method, I don't know if this is good for planting?" ”

Qi Yongsheng: "I don't think it's difficult. We used to plant the lotus grass in the fields, in front of the house, behind the house, and on the side of the ridge and road. There's a little bit of a place and it can grow.

"You don't need to fertilize, you don't need to water, you don't even need to ignore it, you can always grow vigorously. It's easy to reproduce if it's a species with us. ”

Ma Qingbiao: "We call it Ma Lian grass there, and they call it Layered Ma Lian grass here, which looks the same, but the leaves here are thicker, wider and longer than the leaves we have there. In my opinion, it is definitely a species. ”

Yan Funu: "Then we need a little seed and go back to breed." ”

Geng Guizhen: "It's best to plane him and go back to transplant." Transplanting is faster than planting, and it can come in handy the next year. ”

Everyone discussed it for a while, and then carefully looked at the weaving essentials and instructions on the wall

There are many styles of straw weaving, the simplest is to weave braids, no need to layer, three strands and five strands can be handed over to the receiving station, and the points are calculated by weight. Then send it to the processing plant to process straw hats or baskets and boxes.

The fastest is woven bags, with different layers according to different sizes. First, fix the warp strips according to the dimensions on a flat plate.

Then braided the weft strips one by one, after the size is enough, fold them in half, and then dock the wefts on both sides, twist the warp strips into two large strands and bundle them together, and a perfect woven packaging bag is completed.

Straw braids are easier. Since the four old men all braided wheat straw pigtails when they were young, they can pick them up as soon as they pick them up. Taught by word and deed, Qi Chaoyang and his wife, Long Yi and his wife, also learned quickly.

Each person weaves a bag and a braid, and when they are familiar with their hands, they go back to their rooms to rest.

Nothing to say for a night.

After breakfast the next day, we visited a nearby shop.

The shops are not far from the complex, a five-minute walk away. Eight people walked away.

The store covers an area of more than 100 square meters, and there are a variety of goods inside, but there are only two salespeople guarding it.

On the counter of goods that need to be packed, there are green straw packaging bags of different sizes, and the white and colored plastic food bags that are used to seeing in China are nowhere to be seen.

Qi Xiaoting admired the environmental awareness here in her heart: straw packaging bags are herbaceous plant materials, which are easily decomposed by microorganisms after being used and turned into fertilizers that plants can absorb and utilize.

"How do I pay for my purchases?" Qi Xiaoting asked: "If you don't have currency in circulation, you can't take goods for nothing!" ”

Salesperson: "Swipe your card!" ”

Qi Xiaoting: "What if I don't have points in my card?" ”

The salesman smiled: "Impossible, if you can swipe your card to eat, you can swipe your card here to get something." But the food must be eaten on the same day and then the bags are sent to the recycling station. When the utensils are not in use, they should also be handed over to the recycling bin, where the records on the card will be erased. ”

"What if you don't send it back?" Qi Xiaoting asked intentionally.

Salesman: "Then you won't be able to pick up the utensils again." If you have too much equipment in your card and don't use it yourself, your points will be deducted. ”

"It's rigorous!" Qi Chaoyang exclaimed.
