Infinite Disaster Survival.
Chapter 94
Smelling the scent and walking over, Wen Zheng found a snack street in the trading area.
Or it is more appropriate to call it a street of eating insects.
The charcoal-burning stove is steaming, and wooden trays are placed in front of each stall, and inside are insects neatly strung together on bamboo sticks.
The appearance of most insects is not flattering, especially to eat, it takes more courage.When you really have the courage to try to take a bite, most people will sigh that it is really fragrant.
When Wen Zheng was traveling in the real world, he ate a feast of insects. After coming to this insect-eating street, he didn't feel any discomfort at all. As a bird, Tuantuan would not reject insects anymore. The two began to choose with great interest.
The climate in the south allows insects to grow wantonly, and other ingredients are not enough to fill the stomach, and insects that have mutated and become much larger are put on the table again.
If they are together, most of the cooking methods of insects are deep-fried, the outer shell is fried crispy and crispy, and the meat inside is also rich in protein. Different insects have different tastes.
But now there is not so much oil for people to fry insects. Most insects are roasted with fire, and a few are fried.
Centipedes longer than hands, scorpions with huge claws, ants as long as fingernails, locusts that like to devour plants, eight-legged spiders...
According to the type of bugs, the combination of seasonings, and the cooking techniques of the cooks, Wen Zheng chose a stall with a long queue.There are too many worms here to catch, mainly because the price of seasoning is relatively high. Wen Zheng used a small bag of corn flour in exchange for a large pot of worms, and ate them while walking with Tuan Tuan.
Among the various things sold, daily necessities are the most popular, but those luxury accessories are all sold at low prices and no one cares about them.
All kinds of daily necessities are basically produced before the disaster, and there are still old outer packaging on them, and some of them have passed the shelf life.
Of course, there are also many newly produced products. Wen Zheng found a lot of things that Sanlihe Village lacked but needed for daily use, such as fabrics, cotton, paper, and candles, after walking a few streets.
Wen Zheng thought of the stall introduced to him by Brother Hei before leaving the house, and walked slowly to the end of the street, and saw a stall in a corner with many medicinal herbs, saplings and seeds on it, all of which were common plants in the south. Some mutations change appearance.Next to it are several large boxes with white candles in them.
"These are the white wax produced by white wax insects?" Wen Zheng walked to the stall, his eyes swept over the saplings, and finally stopped on the white candles.
Seeing a business coming to the door, the stall owner in his 50s introduced: "This is the candle produced by our country's special product, the ash worm. The ash worm lives on the ash tree, eats the sap of the ash tree, and secretes ash wax. We all used this kind of white wax to make candles in ancient times, and this is also used in guest houses."
"I saw that the candles in the guest house are much more stable and bright than those used before." Wen Zheng asked a few words when he entered the guest house yesterday and saw those candles.
Seeing that Zheng was very interested in white wax, brother Hei introduced him to this booth, and the price was a little cheaper than the official one.
"Because some ash trees and ash worms have mutated in a good direction." Speaking of this, the stall owner began to explain carefully, showing a little envy when he spoke.
There is a village in S City that specializes in planting this kind of ash tree, and ash is also a specialty product of their village.After the disaster, all kinds of plants and animals mutated. This village was very lucky. Both the ash tree and the ash worms grew rapidly and secreted a lot of ash.
In the past, the candles used by everyone were basically made of paraffin wax separated from petroleum. Now it is more difficult to separate petroleum than before, and the candles produced are not as good as insect wax.
Therefore, the security zone sent an army to search for supplies. After finding the candles in this village, they signed a contract with the village. They would send troops to buy a large number of candles every month, and they would also send troops to protect the village.
The villages in this village really don’t have to worry about eating and drinking, and are safe and secure. They only need to raise trees, insects and wax every day.
"You also bought these candles from that village?" Wen Zheng asked, picking up one.
The stall owner smiled, with a proud look on his face: "Some positions in the security zone have discounts for buying these pewter. My eldest son bought it from them at a low price, and the selling price was cheaper than the official one. These pewter But it took a long time to save up for several months, that is, to make a difference in the price, which is barely enough to make ends meet.”
Seeing that Zheng really wanted to buy it, the stall owner continued: "There are quite a few businesses doing this in the safe zone, and some of them will mix it with ordinary white wax. I don't do that. After you buy the white wax, Randomly pick a few and ignite them to see if they are true or not, and I will wait by the side for you to finish the inspection."
The scent of these candles was the same as those in the guest house. Wen Zheng didn't have much doubts, but he didn't speak immediately, and began to look at the saplings and herb seedlings on the stall.
The stall owner was not in a hurry, he just stood by and waited, and Wen Zheng answered honestly any questions he asked.
The plants grow well in the south, but the bugs grow even better.Leaving the safe zone to dig these saplings and medicinal herbs also took a lot of effort.
Before Wen Zheng finished reading, there was the sound of footsteps approaching, and it was a young man who came to the side of the stall owner with an insulated lunch box in his hand: "Dad, you have something to eat first."
Wen Zheng raised his head and glanced at the person who came, he was not tall, he was a little thinner than before, and his face was a little dark yellow, Wen Zheng still recognized him at a glance.
I didn't expect to meet so many former acquaintances in this safe area of S city.
This is the colleague Zhang Ji who has a very good relationship with the original body. When Wen Zheng quit his job and went to Sanlihe Village, those colleagues who had a good relationship with the original body sent a message to remind him before the disaster happened. They chose it themselves.
The stall owner began to introduce: "This is my youngest son, who usually helps me at home."
Zhang Ji didn't recognize Wen Zheng who had changed greatly, so he asked his father to rest beside him, and came to greet Wen Zheng by himself.
In the past, like the original body, Zhang Ji was not very good at communicating with people, but after the disaster came, the technology he knew was useless in this world of electromagnetic problems, he could only exercise his lips and do some physical work.
The quality of these pewter is good. When I asked about the price, it was indeed lower than the official price. Wen Zheng said, "I want all these pewter. You can bring these back to the guest house with me."
Zhang Ji didn't expect to meet such a cheerful customer, so he tidied up and asked his father to go home first, then he pushed the cart and left with Wen Zheng.
Seeing that Zheng came back from shopping, several inconspicuous brothers under Brother Hei came to help, weighing the candles they bought and the grain to be given away.
The transaction was successfully completed, and Zhang Ji waited for Wen Zheng to verify. Unexpectedly, Wen Zheng handed over a sufficient amount of grain to him, and then took out a few pieces of marinated beef.
"I can't afford this beef." Zhang Ji waved his hands, and he was satisfied with the food.
Wen Zheng put the beef on the wooden cart and said, "I want to exchange some saplings of mutated ash trees with the beef. Do you have a channel to buy them at home?"
Zhang Ji shook his head: "Those villages with mutated ash trees are guarded by the army. You can buy ash, but ash trees are not allowed to be bought or sold."
Among Brother Hei's brothers next to him, the one named Xiao Mao said: "Brother, we can't grow this kind of ash tree over there. We have inquired before that these saplings like a warm environment, and if the temperature is too low, they may not survive. We Although my hometown is in the central region, it is too cold in winter, and I probably froze to death after a few snowfalls."
After saying this, Zhang Ji hesitated for a moment, and asked Wen Zheng in a low voice: "Boss, where did you come from? Are you from City A in Province N?"
Xiao Mao smiled: "It's my accent that made you recognize it? We are from there, but why do you still inquire about buyers when you sell things?"
Zhang Ji waved his hand: "It's not that I have a brother from over there, and I don't know how he is doing now, so I want to ask you about it."
"You are quite affectionate, but the territory of City A is not small, and we may not know each other."
"You are really from City A. The person I want to inquire about is Wen Zheng. Both of his parents died when he was a child, and there are no other relatives alive now. I will give you a discount for these candles. Please help me inquire after you return to your hometown. How is he doing now?"
How does the description of this name look like Boss Wen? Xiao Mao looked at the calm Wen Zheng and continued to ask: "Why are you asking about him?"
"Wen Zheng is my brother. He helped me a lot in the past. He doesn't have any relatives or friends, so I am worried about his current situation. If there is any difficulty, I might be able to help." There will not be such a stable life now.
Hearing that Zhang Ji still remembered Wen Zheng and was still inquiring about Wen Zheng, Wen Zheng was happy for the original body.
Although Yuanshen met people like Zhang Pan and Tao Yue, he also made friends like Zhang Ji.
Wen Zheng didn't reveal his identity, but accepted Zhang Ji's discounted food, and promised to help him inquire about the news after returning.
After Zhang Ji left, Wen Zheng put aside Xiao Mao who was hesitant to speak, and followed Zhang Ji quietly with Tuantuan.
Selling white wax sold a lot of food, Zhang Ji would definitely push the car home first, walk out of the gate of the guest house, Zhang Ji came to pick him up, and the two family members who were protecting the food met.
"Zhang Ji is a nice guy, how about we help them?" Wen Zheng discussed with Tuantuan while walking on the road.
"Help?" Tuantuan had a bad feeling.
Before following Zhang Ji to his home, Zhang Ji's family happily ran over to inspect the grain and carried it into the house.
There was also a boy over three years old in the house, who ran to a nest made of wood and grass in the corner, and pulled out the big white goose hiding inside.
"Our big white goose has not been raised for nothing, and it has become Lele's bodyguard. Today, the kid next door wanted to bully our family Lele, and the big white goose rushed straight up, scaring them away."
"Nowadays, the mutated animals are more humane. The big white goose knows that it is not eaten because of our family Lele. Of course it is good for Lele."
Wen Zheng's gaze stayed on the big white goose, and he lowered his head and said to Tuantuan, "Tuantuan, it's time for you, the teacher, to act again."
Looking at the stupid big white goose, Tuantuan recalled the difficult experience of teaching the big rooster, how long it would take to teach the big white goose to become a new generation of goose king.
Life is not easy, Tuantuan sighed.
Or it is more appropriate to call it a street of eating insects.
The charcoal-burning stove is steaming, and wooden trays are placed in front of each stall, and inside are insects neatly strung together on bamboo sticks.
The appearance of most insects is not flattering, especially to eat, it takes more courage.When you really have the courage to try to take a bite, most people will sigh that it is really fragrant.
