Chapter 61
The end of the world 52
After the typhoon, the logistics department of the base is busy repairing plantations damaged by the typhoon, cleaning up branches blown by the typhoon and all kinds of garbage and gravel blown by the typhoon.
There is also water in some parts of the base, which needs to be discharged as soon as possible. In short, after the super typhoon, the logistics department responsible for the rehabilitation is the busiest department in the whole base. Jiang Yu and the Tang Dynasty worked overtime to 9 o'clock almost every day, and Tang Xue could only follow.
Jiang Yu is taking the team members to drain the accumulated water into the river to clean up the broken branches by the river. Just halfway through the work, a colleague came to inform him that someone was looking for him and was in the logistics conference room.
Jiang Yu didn't know who would find him to find the logistics department, so after simply arranging the task, he went back to the logistics department with his colleagues who informed him.
On the way, his colleague told him that he was looking for someone from the official side.
Official?
How could he have an affiliation with the official? No, he really has something to do with the official. His farm still owes an official debt. Isn't he a debt?
After Jiang Yu saw the two people who came to him in the conference room and listened to their explanation, he knew that they did not come for debts, but for the batch of worm bricks in his name and Tang Xue.
The people who came to Jiang Yu told Jiang Yu about the current food dilemma in City C, which is really extremely difficult. If it hadn't been for the previous batch of worm bricks, it might have been out of grain. The daily production of the planting base alone is certainly not enough, so I hope they can transfer the batch of worming bricks to the official.
Jiang Yu told someone that the owners of the worm bricks were him and Tang Xue, and he did not belong to him alone, so he could not make a decision alone.
After receiving Jiang Yu's call, Tang Xue also came to the logistics office. This is the first time she has come to the logistics department since she entered the planting base. As the general management department, she is in charge of all the materials of the base. Of course, the office building is quite magnificent.
In the logistics department, each employee has his own workstation and even a tea room. If employees work overtime or miss meals at work, they can brush their bracelets to collect instant noodles or compressed cookies from the sales cabinet.
These gossips were told by the Tang Dynasty. When he came back from work on the first day of the Tang Dynasty, he praised the tea room of the logistics department.
When Tang Xue entered the conference room, someone really served her a cup of tea.
"Thank you." Tang Xue nodded and rushed to the little sister of the logistics department who served her tea to thank her.
The little sister was also very polite, and said with a smile, "You're welcome."
The tea is flower tea, and the golden chrysanthemum floated on the surface of the water. The tea was thoroughly clarified. Tang Xue picked up and took a sip, and the temperature was just right.
The two owners of the worm brick arrived, and the discussion officially began.
When collecting this batch of worm bricks, Tang Xue figured out where to go. It must be handed over to the official, otherwise the farm food would be enough. Why did she spend so much time collecting worm bricks?
In fact, she wants to exchange something from the official hand with worm bricks, or a promise.
"What do you want to change?" The person in charge of the discussion asked.
He has experienced such a discussion scene many times, and even rehearsed Tang Xue's question after putting forward various conditions in his mind. At this time, he has a good idea. No matter what conditions Tang Xue puts forward, he can deal with them calmly. But when Tang Xue asked, he was still stunned.
"What, what did you just say for?" He thought he heard it wrong, and he asked again.
"I want to change the ground." Tang Xue replied.
As a farmer, how can a farmer who loves farming have no land? Wherever you go, you have to have your own land.
The person in charge of the discussion is unknown, so, "As far as I know, you already own a farm under your name. Do you think the area of the farm is too small and do you want to expand it?"
But what's the use of so much land? According to expert testing, the current land situation still can't grow crops, which is equivalent to wasteland. Do you want to build a house?
Tang Xue sat up straight and explained carefully, "What I want to change is not the land of City C, but that of City R. I said more clearly. I want to pair up in City C to help City R to change a piece of land, or contract a piece of land."
The two people are dumbfounded. What's the strange request? It's strange enough to ask for a piece of land. I don't want City C, but R City. It's a little difficult for strong people. If you want the one in City C, you can still discuss it. If you want the one in City R, they can't be the master.
"Why must it be City R?" The person in charge asked doubtfully.
"Because I think City C is likely to move to City R in the future. I am a farmer who loves farming and is good at farming, so I hope to have my own land in City R, just like in City C."
The two officials looked at each other in consternation, and they never thought it would be the reason.
"Why do you think you want to move inland? According to the current predictions of experts, the situation in City C is stable and is not in the earthquake zone, and there is little possibility of devastating disasters in the future." The person in charge asked.
"But experts also say that the environment of the sea blue star is in a period of drastic changes. The high temperature continues, the polar glaciers continue to melt, and the sea level keeps rising..."
"But it doesn't necessarily happen what you expected." The person in charge interrupted her words.
"But it may not happen, otherwise why did the government plan the retreat route? It's because it's possible, isn't it?"
The person in charge was speechless and didn't know how to refute.
"But that hasn't happened yet, and we don't have the right to decide the land of R."
Tang Xue seemed to have expected that it would be the current situation. She said, "I can give you worm bricks first. When I really move to R City in the future, you can give me land. Anyway, give it to me now, and I can't plant it."
"What if I don't go in the future? That worm brick..." The person in charge's eyes were full of surprise.
"If I don't go in the future, I will donate the Chong Brick," he said. He paused and remembered that Chong Brick also had Jiang Yu's share. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu glanced at her and then said, "I agree with her decision."
Unlike the expected situation, the two people came together and whispered for a while, and then the person in charge said that he could not make this decision and needed to ask his superior.
After saying that, he went out to report to his superiors.
After waiting for about 15 minutes, the person in charge came back. He smiled and said to the two people, "I agree. Just follow the requirements you said. You can sign a contract to enter the system. If it will really move one day, you can choose a land in R City. As for the size, it will be converted according to the value of wormsect bricks, and the contract will be entered into the system. After that, no matter who is in power in the future, it will be realized. Do you think so?
"Yes." Tang Xue couldn't wait to nod.
"Yes." Jiang Yu nodded slightly.
"To be honest, we not only exchange food with your family. We have contacted everyone who still have a large number of grain stored in hand in C City. The conditions for changing grain are diverse, but you are still the first to change the land in R City. You are still not sure whether you will go in the future. The land has given a piece first. When you say it out, I'm afraid no one will believe it." The person in charge laughed and felt that it was a little absurd. If he didn't go in the future, the worm bricks would be white.
"Just think I'm preparing for the future. It's better not to go. If you donate worm bricks, you will donate, and it's good to give back to society."
Finally, the two parties signed the contract together, and the contract was also recorded in the official system for archiving in their presence. Tang Xue and Jiang Yu can be consulted with bracelets.
Before leaving, the person in charge said goodbye to Jiang Yu and Tang Xue.
"I feel the cooperation between the two. This trade-in is the fastest completion of the projects I have ever talked about. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. I thank you for the people of C City."
The person in charge thought they would ask the official to cancel the debt, but he had figured out what he would do if it was such a condition, but the plan was completely useless. Debt forgiveness is impossible. Although the planting house on Huawu Farm is not very large, it produces extremely abundant. In the same area, the tax production is twice that of other farms.
All the current output of the Flowerwood Farm plantation, except for the rations left by the farm owner, is used to pay taxes and repay debts. At this time, it is unlikely to release this part of the output when City C is in short supply.
"No, no, no, don't say that. We also got a piece of land!" Tang Xue waved her hand repeatedly.
She couldn't laugh or cry. The worm bricks were really not given in vain. They got the remuneration they deserved and couldn't afford the gratitude of the citizens.
The bug brick has been solved and the land has been obtained, which also lays the foundation for future survival.
Although the typhoon left, the water in the city has not recededed. The muddy mud flows in the city, causing great obstacles to the recovery of the disaster.
Residents also began to adapt to worm cakes and various ways of relief food.
Today's cordon cake, tomorrow's worm powder mashed potato cake, breakfast rice bran soup, lunch bean residue potato chip cake, dinner worm powder spicy strips.
Due to the lack of seasoning, many snacks with heavy flavors used to season, among which food seasoned with puffed food and spicy strips is the most popular. Puffed food has many flavors, including green onion flavor, tomato flavor, barbecue flavor, beef flavor, Sichuan pepper flavor, etc., and can also be constantly replaced every day.
Many residents will have fun in pain, predicting what the next relief food will taste like, and sometimes they will be equipped with some colored heads. Every meal is like a lottery scene.
On the fourth day after the typhoon left, Tang Xue went to the lake to observe again. This time, there were many more white tadpoles in the small lake than last time. Pay attention to the obvious group of white creatures swimming around the lake.
She thought it was time for people to find this creature. Although it tasted bad, it was at least food.
After a hard day off, she took her little nephew Tang Tianyi for a walk by the lake and said that she wanted to see if there were any fish.
"Where did the fish come from? There was no fish before, only the Koi I put by myself. Now I guess there is no fish anywhere. The volcanic ash was poisoned at that time. Don't take that effort." Watron, who was drying clothes, said.
After the sun came out, and it rained, there was no shortage of water. Taking this opportunity, the employees on the farm took out their long-awaited clothes to wash. In the open space in front of the hotel, rows of clotheslines were pulled, all hung with clothes, and the scene was spectacular.
"Look, what's wrong? In case, ignore him, you go." The stone seedlings who were also drying clothes said.
"Let's go, auntie, hurry up." Tang Tianyi took Tang Xue's hand and was about to leave.
Usually, people on the farm are not allowed to go to the lake. Although the water of the lake is not deep, it is still very dangerous for a child. Tang Tianyi heard from Tang Xue that there might be fish in the lake, so he couldn't wait to find it for a long time.
When I arrived at the lake, I looked around and didn't find any fish. The child was disappointed, his face immediately collapsed, and his desire to eat fish was dashed. At this time, Tang Xue deliberately guided him to find the white tadpole in the lake.
The child's eyes were good, and soon he found the movement in the lake.
"Auntie, is that group of wandering fish, are they small fish?"
Tang Xue pretended to look carefully, "It seems to be a little fish. I can't see clearly."
Tang Tianyi jumped up: "It must be a little fish. I saw it. A lot!"
"Maybe it's not a fish. It looks a little strange."
"It must be fish. Let's go back and find Brother Jiang Chen to catch fish. The little fish is also fish. Fried fish is very delicious." Tang Tianyi pulled Tang Xue back like a gust of wind.
"There are fish! There are fish!"

Chapter 62
The end of the world 53
Several employees on the farm were drying clothes in the square. Tang Tianyi shouted all the way, and they heard it for a long time.
Wardrom moved the fastest. Hearing the child shouting "There is a fish", he immediately put down his clothes and ran to the lake. Shi Miao, Aunt Li and Aunt Qi also followed one after another. It would be great if there were really fish in the small lake.
"Lao Zhou, come out of the guy quickly. There are fish in the lake!"
While running, Wardron did not forget to say hello to Zhou Jinzao. Hearing that there was a fish, he was immediately excited. Since the lake was filled with water, he has also looked at it, and the shadow of a fish has not been found. As a senior fish eater, I am somewhat lost.
But God treated him well. Fish was found in the lake today. It must have swam in from the river outside these two days.
Hua Delong couldn't wait to fly to the lake at once. During the run, he even figured out what to do with the fish. Steamed, braised and fried, and the smell of fish seemed to have floated to the tip of his nose.
When he ran to the lake excitedly, but didn't find any fish in the lake, he looked around the lake again, but he still didn't find any fish. Finally, he ran to the gazebo and lay down on the railing, but still didn't see a fish.
The excited expression on Wartron's face collapsed, and he seemed to see steamed fish, braised fish and oil-fried fish flying away in front of him.
"Where, where is the fish?"
Zhou Jin and others, who were fishing for fish, also entered the gazebo and leaned their heads in the lake to find fish.
"Do you have any fish? I didn't see any of them." Shi Miao looked around, withdrew and asked doubtfully.
"I didn't see the fish either. Did the child read it wrong?" Aunt Li said.
"It's possible that I don't know what I saw yet. Just think of it as a fish." Aunt Qi agreed.
Zhou Jin carried the fishing net and looked around and didn't find the fish. He pushed Hua Delong's shoulder and asked, "Where's the fish?" Let me copy the guy in a hurry.
Hua Delong said angrily, "How do I know? The child said there was fish. I thought there was fish swimming in the river outside, but I was so happy."
At this time, Tang Xue also came over with Tang Tianyi. They carried a small bucket and a small fishing net in their hands, which was similar to the set of tools for children fishing for small fish and turtles in amusement park.
Tang Tianyi shouted that there was a fish, and they all ran away, so fast that Tang Xue didn't have time to explain. Seeing that Zhou Jin was looking for a fishing rod and a large net, Tang Xue could only find the right tool.
Coincidentally, there happened to be equipment in the warehouse when the farm played fish fishing games for children, and Tang Xue took two sets.
"Where's the fish? Where is the fish?" Watron asked.
"Res true, little fish. Look for yourself, a group of them."
Tang Tianyi pointed to the "fish" swimming in the water, but it didn't look obvious, to show everyone. Only then did everyone find that there was something in the water, swimming in groups, looking like small fish.
"That's it?" Wardron stared at Tang Xue with a speechless expression.
Tang Xue could only nod awkwardly.
Wartron sighed, shook his head, picked up the fishing rod and was ready to go back.
"Don't go. No matter how small the mosquito leg is, it's meat. Take some to bask in the sun. Isn't the dried fried fish fragrant?" Zhou Jin stopped Hua Delong from leaving. They all came. How could he go back empty-handed?
"What are you doing with such a small fish? It's better to grow longer and fish it when you grow up."
There were no big fish, and everyone returned in disappointment. Only Tang Xue and Tang Tianyi still carried buckets to the lake to fish for small fish. Others just think that Tang Xue is playing with the children, and they don't care.
The two sank the fishing net under the water and lifted it quickly when the small fish swam into the net. The little fish reacted very fast. They fished three times before they caught a few.
Tang Tianyi squatted on the ground and looked at the fish caught in the bucket, and grabbed one and put it in the palm of his hand to observe it carefully.
"Auntie, this fish is so strange."
"Well, it's a little strange. I'll take it back to others later. Maybe someone knows it."
The two tried to grab half a bucket together before they went home.
Through the square full of clothes, the two carried buckets and went straight to the kitchen to find Aunt Qi and Aunt Li.
Recently, the farm planter harvested a batch of sweet potatoes. In addition to the amount of taxes and debt repayment, the farm also kept some. Because the temperature has not been able to drop and sweet potatoes are not easy to store, Aunt Qi and Aunt Li plan to make sweet potatoes into sweet potato wide noodles and vermicelli, which can be stored for a longer time after drying.
When Tang Xue took Tang Tianyi into the kitchen, the kitchen was very busy.
Aunt Qi was busy cutting the condensed sweet potato flour into slender strips. After drying, it will be wide flour.
"Xiao Xue, how about eating hot and sour noodles for lunch today? The newly made sweet potato powder must taste good when making hot and sour noodles. When I mix a secret spicy oil, it will be sure it will be delicious. That's my exclusive secret recipe. Aunt Qi said as she cut it.
"Okay, I'll wait to taste your craft."
Tang Xue put the bucket in her hand on the ground. Tang Tianyi pointed to the fish in the bucket and couldn't wait to say, "Grandma Qi, what kind of fish is this?" Can I eat it?"
Aunt Qi put down the knife in her hand, wiped her hands with an apron, came over and said with a smile, "You really caught the little fish back. You can eat fish. Some small fish can dry them directly and then fry them. Don't mention how delicious it is."
Aunt Qi squatted down and looked at the fish in the bucket. "Hey, what kind of fish is this?"
Aunt Qi took out a few more and put them in the palm of her hand. After carefully identifying them for a long time, she didn't recognize what kind of fish it was. Aunt Qi called Aunt Li again, and Aunt Li didn't recognize it for a long time. They all know the common fish. The fish in their hands is not only strange in shape, but also strange in color.
"We don't know it either. This fish is caught in his hand and sticks. Is it a catfish?" Aunt Li guessed.
"Unlike catfish, is it loach?" Aunt Qi said.
"How can it be that loach doesn't look like this? No, no, it's not loach." Aunt Li immediately denied this answer.
"What else can that be? It can't be yellow spicy diced."
"It's not Huang Lading. Oh, I can't see it. I won't wait until others come to ask. Does anyone know it? Why don't you take this fish out to dry it first? It's not easy to kill if it's so small. Just dry it." Aunt Qi suggested.
Tang Xue took a bamboo basket and poured all the fish in the bucket. She put the bucket under the eaves outside the hotel. The sun is just right today. It is estimated that these fish will die soon after leaving the water.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for these fish to die, and the color of the fish began to change slowly. The surface color slowly deepened to turn brown and yellow, with a strong fishy smell.
When it comes to lunch, the staff will come to the canteen one after another.
Zhou Jin, Hua Delong and Shi Miao walked from the plantation room to the hotel together, ready to go to the canteen for lunch. As soon as I got to the door of the hotel, I smelled a strong smell of fishy smell.
"What stinks?"
Zhou Jin had a keen sense of smell. When he smelled it first, he immediately frowned and looked around for the source of the odor.
"Well, it's too smelly, fishy and smelly. What is it?"
Shi Miao took a deep breath, and the smell almost didn't send her away. She immediately pinched her nose and dared not breathe with her.
There was such a large place at the door of the hotel, and the three soon found that the smell was emitted from a bamboo basket. The bamboo basket was placed on the wall outside the hotel. The basket was covered with a layer of gauze. When it approached, you could see several green-headed flies crawling around on gauze.
"What the hell is put here?"
Hua Delong took a breath and stepped forward to lift the gauze. At the bottom of the bamboo basket was a bunch of small brown and yellow pieces. At first glance, it looked a little like...
"Who put the chicken excrement in the basket?" Wardrom blurted out.
Zhou Jin and Shi Miao also came forward to check. Zhou Jin's eyes were so powerful that he could see at a glance that the things in the basket were not chicken excrement.
"What are you talking about? Come on, let me have a look."
Zhou Jin pushed Wardron aside, found a branch by himself, rummaged through the basket, and finally didn't see what it was.
Then three people walked into the canteen, and Watlon immediately asked, "Who is in the bamboo basket outside?"
Tang Xue was busy mixing seasonings for hot and sour noodles. Hearing questions, she quickly said, "It's me."
"What did you show? It stinks." Shi Miao said that although she had entered the house and couldn't smell the smell, she couldn't help rubbing her nose, which seemed to be still there.
"It's the little fish caught from the lake in the morning."
"How could that be a fish? Are you sure it's fish or chicken shit? This fish stinks too much. Wartron wrinkled his nose and fanned it with his hand, as if to fan off the smell in his memory.
Aunt Qi came out of the kitchen with the finished hot and sour noodles. Hearing his words, she smiled and said, "What are you talking about? How can it be chicken shit or fish? I saw Xiaoxue pouring in the basket."
"Aunt Qi, if you don't believe it, I'll show it to you. Hey, no, the smell that smell can make you unable to eat. Come out and have a look. Do you look at it looks like chicken shit?"
Sure enough, a group of people could smell a fishy smell as soon as they walked out of the door of the hotel. The closer they were to the basket, the greater the smell. When Wardron lifted the gauze covering the basket, Aunt Qi and Aunt Li were dumbfounded.
They have seen the fish in the morning. It is transparent with a little light cyan, and they can also see the internal organs inside. Why did it become this color now?
"It's not like this when I just fished it out in the morning. Why does it change color when you die? Haven't you seen this kind of fish? Have you seen it?" Aunt Qi asked others.
Uncle Li and Uncle Qi and the couple specializing in breeding said they didn't know each other, let alone the young people.
"It won't be a new species, will it?" Qi Shiyu covered his nose and asked.
"If you can't wait for Brother Jiang Yu to come back to ask in the evening, he will know a lot, and he may know him." Li Wenbo proposed.
"That's okay. Let's ask when Jiang Yu comes back."
Jiang Yu and the Tang Dynasty did not have a rest today and still work overtime at the base. The logistics department estimates that they will have to be busy for a while to deal with the problems left over from the typhoon.
Jiang Chen stepped forward and took a few photos of the strange little fish with a bracelet and said, "I checked on the Internet to see if I could find out what kind of fish it was."
In the evening, when Jiang Yu came back, Tang Xue told him about the strange little fish, and specially prepared the living fish and the dead little fish. Obviously, Jiang Yu doesn't know this strange creature.
"Where you take it to the base tomorrow? There are many professors in the base expert group. Maybe they know each other. I don't know if these fish can be eaten. If only they could be tested." Tang Xue sat opposite Jiang Yu and stared at the creatures swimming around in the transparent jar on the table.
There is a laboratory in the base.
"Then I'll take some to have a look tomorrow."
The Tang Dynasty, which was sitting with his son, suddenly came over with a job and sat next to Tang Xue.
"I have something to tell you."
"What?" Tang Xue looked at him doubtfully. Is there anything wrong?
"Today, our minister suddenly called me over." Tang Dynasty said.
Minister of Logistics, Liu Feifei?
"What are you doing?"
