Chapter 39 The Season of Fog
Chapter 39 The Season of Fog
Su Qing had to take a break after walking up to the third floor, so it took him a lot of time to get back to the ninth floor, but Qi Jiang still didn't come back.
He went home and went to the balcony to look down, just in time to see Qi Jiang running around the community holding the gauze net, and was blocked by buildings after a while.
"What happened?" He still didn't know what happened.
At that time they were chatting, Qi Jiang suddenly stuffed the vegetable basket into his hand, and didn't give him the gauze net, such a heavy thing, even a person should be tired after running by now, right?
But looking at Qi Jiang's appearance just now, he didn't seem to be tired. Thinking about the fact that his strength has been increasing, Su Qing is not worried that he will exhaust himself, but the more he thinks about it, the more strange it becomes.
Thinking of Qi Jiang's silly smile, Su Qing was a little puzzled: "Is there anything happy about it?"
It's not just that he can't figure it out now, he also kept thinking about it when he went upstairs, and he didn't know why Qi Jiang suddenly became strange.
Opening the vegetable basket, Su Qing found that there was a chicken in it besides the beef. Thinking of what he said yesterday that he wanted to eat salt-baked chicken, Su Qing slightly pursed her lips, with a smile in her heart.
"Really, what kind of chicken to buy? Didn't I tell you to buy beef before going out?" Su Qing muttered while taking out the chicken and putting it aside, slightly curled his lips and smiled, his ears covered by his hair felt a little hot .
This chicken weighs three and a half catties, and the beef weighs six and a half catties. They usually consume six catties of meat every day. They bought ten catties yesterday and left four catties. They originally wanted to save it for today, but now they can only make beef sauce .
Su Qing is going to make ten catties of beef sauce, and now the ten and a half catties of meat is not much different from what was expected.
Salt-baked chicken needs to be marinated in advance, and the method is quite simple, but it takes a long time. It is difficult to taste now. Su Qing cleans it and marinates it and puts it in the living room. It is ready to eat at night. delicious.
Downstairs, Qi Jiang ran countless laps, and the people queuing around looked like idiots, some of them were still whispering.
"Crazy, it's okay to run around, why don't you have work at home?"
"Isn't this the Xiao Qi who just moved in? What kind of happy thing has happened to this?"
"I don't know, I'm smiling like a fool."
"Which one of you knows him? Why don't you go and inquire? Maybe something good will happen."
"I don't dare. This person looks friendly on weekdays, but his stern face makes people frightened. You have to ask yourself."
"It's true, it looks very young and silly."
Qi Jiang broke out in a thin sweat, and finally calmed down. Seeing the gauze in his arms, he remembered what he did on the stairs before, feeling a little embarrassed.
Looking up to the direction of the balcony, Su Qing's figure was busy in it, and there were a few streams of smoke blowing out.
Back home, Su Qing was already cooking.
"Are you back?" Su Qing raised her head and looked at his expression carefully, "What's wrong with you just now?"
Qi Jiang coughed lightly, avoiding Su Qing's probing eyes: "It's nothing, I thought of something happy."
"Ah?" Su Qing whispered, "What's the matter?"
"Cough." Qi Jiang started to cough again, "No, it's nothing, I'll cut the meat for you."
Seeing this, Su Qing tactfully didn't ask any more questions, and instructed him how to cut it, and asked him to cut all the marinated beef yesterday into cubes.
Qi Jiangsong breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that there were still chili peppers prepared beside him, he asked, "Is the beef sauce made spicy?"
"Well, slightly spicy, adjust the taste."
Su Qing not only prepared chili peppers, but also soaked dried mushrooms. There are no green onions, but ginger and garlic are also prepared. Sesame, Chinese pepper, cinnamon and other spices are all available. Just seeing these ingredients, Qi Jiang knows that they must be delicious.
After cutting the beef cubes, he went to install the gauze.
This gauze is of good quality, and Qi Jiang plans to make it into a sliding screen window, so it will be convenient to go out from the balcony in the future.
The anti-theft net that was removed on the balcony earlier was thrown away, but the glass windows inside were not thrown away, so Qi Jiang took the tools to refit it in the living room.
He used wood to add a layer of screens on the outside of the glass windows. The two layers of screens can be pushed and pulled together, and the inner layer of glass windows can be disassembled. In this way, the windows can be opened when flying out, and the windows can be opened when cooking. Let bugs crawl in.
Of course, this is a gauze net. If the bugs are small enough, they may still come in, but with the glass windows blocking them, they can only crawl into the interlayer, and then clean them regularly.
Even if you really climb in, the balcony door is also a glass door, so you don't have to worry about getting into the house.
The aroma of cooking vegetables could be heard outside, and Qi Jiang was beating clangingly inside.
The dishes for lunch were canned meat, bacon, salted duck eggs, and egg soup. Because Su Qing wanted to make all the beef into beef sauce, there were not enough ingredients, so the dishes were relatively simple.
"Didn't you buy a chicken?" Qi Jiang found that there was no piece of chicken on the table.
"It's not marinated, eat it at night." Su Qing narrowed her eyes and chuckled, "Eat half of it at night, and you can take the rest tomorrow. It's good to put it in the pancake."
"This is for you to eat, what should I take it with?" Qi Jiang shook his head, "I'll just bring beef sauce."
"It's too monotonous to bring only beef sauce." Su Qing wanted him to try his best to eat better outside.
"Then you can boil some salted duck eggs for me and take them with you."
Su Qing: ...
Salted duck eggs are so salty, so I am not afraid to drink water along the way.
Su Qing was very helpless: "Then how many people will I cook for you? How many people are in your team? Let's have one for each person. We can eat people with short mouths, so that everyone can take care of you more."
"I don't know the number of people, so stop cooking, I'm just joking."
Su Qing thought this idea was good, so he speeded up his meal, drank another bowl of egg soup, and then went to make beef sauce for Qi Jiang.
Before eating, he had already put all the beef cubes in and boiled them. At this moment, the water was just boiling. Su Qing took a look, and after a while, he felt the same. He took out all the beef cubes, as well as spices like cinnamon. Throw it aside.
Clean the pot again, put in the ginger, garlic and chili and sauté until fragrant, then fry the beef cubes and serve them out.
Restart the oil pan, sauté the other half of the onion, ginger, and garlic until fragrant, then put the pre-cut shiitake mushrooms and half a catty of minced beef into the frying pan, then add a series of seasonings such as bean paste, dark soy sauce, soy sauce, etc., and fry until fragrant Put the beef cubes in and stir-fry continuously, the aroma of the shiitake mushrooms mixed with the beef suddenly became strong, and with the stimulation of a little spicy, Qi Jiang felt a little hungry after just eating.
After the fragrance was strong enough, Su Qing added water, and only heard a few sizzling sounds, the fragrance became even stronger.
Hearing that someone nearby complained that their family was cooking again, Qi Jiang couldn't help but chuckled softly.
"What's wrong?" Su Qing turned around.
"It's nothing, other people are saying that our cooking is too delicious." Qi Jiang wiped the water from the bowl in his hand and put it aside.
"Just say what you want." Su Qing didn't care about other people's opinions, and continued to stir fry.
After the reduction of the cash purchase quota yesterday, many people have switched to using points. For a while, few people will buy all the meat as before. The feeling of blooming flowers before.
Most people who go to work now go to the fence line to repair the fence. The wages of construction workers are 1 point per day. Generally, everyone will spend the amount of food every day, which is 1 catties, which is calculated as 3 points. integral.
肉的价格是0.05积分1斤鱼肉,0.1积分1斤猪肉,0.15积分1斤鸡肉,0.2积分1斤牛肉,0.25积分1斤羊肉。
If you buy 5 catties of pork, you will only have 0.2 credits left in your daily wages, which is almost nothing. If you buy fish, you will be left with almost half of your wages, but who eats [-] catties of fish a day?
Beef and mutton are more expensive, and most people will not buy them. Even if the wages are high, they only buy a little and go back to taste.
Therefore, most people usually buy a fish or a catty of pork to satisfy their cravings. Anyway, they have enough food at home, just eat more and eat less vegetables. The remaining points are saved, and they can be used for turnover in the future .
Of course, it is not ruled out that some people will continue to indulge in big fish and meat, but in the eyes of others, these people are not good at living, as long as they have a little plan, they will not do so.
In the past, as long as Su Qing cooked, their food was the one with the strongest aroma, but among all flowers blooming, at least there are competitors.
But since yesterday, their family has suddenly outshined others. As a result, their family will naturally become people who don't know how to live.
Of course, it's normal for them two big men to live together, and they don't know how to live. Moreover, they ate in their own room and didn't go out to show off. Others would complain at most.
"Speaking of which, when I was shopping for vegetables today, I saw many people bought enough meat. Most of them covered up a little with their clothes, but it should have just started to mutate, so it's not obvious." Qi Jiang suddenly Said.
"Is there that fluctuation? Is it obvious?" Su Qing was a little curious.
Qi Jiang nodded lightly: "Yes, it's quite obvious when passing by, but you can't feel it when you walk a little farther for about one meter. Did you meet so many people when you went shopping for vegetables two days ago?"
The food distribution point downstairs not only supplies the residents of Tianbiyuan, but also several nearby communities will come to queue. When Qi Jiang went to buy vegetables before, he never saw mutants outside.
Su Qing shook his head: "I didn't find it, I just met one when I went down yesterday, maybe I went there in the afternoon."
They all go shopping at noon, if the mutants go out in the afternoon, it's normal if they don't meet each other.
"Then it shouldn't be a group of people, so many people appear in one day, is it going to explode?" Qi Jiang pondered.
"Maybe, it doesn't have much to do with us." Su Qing doesn't care much about this, anyway, what should appear will appear.
Qi Jiang thinks so too, the time for them to be in fear has long passed, and now they just want to live their lives well.
Half an hour later, the water in the beef sauce was boiled dry. Su Qing took the pot and put it in a clean basin. There was still a lot of juice left in the pot. Qi Jiang felt it was a bit wasteful.
"Su Qing, cook a pot of noodles."
Su Qing lightly said: "Aren't you full?"
Qi Jiang touched his nose, a little embarrassed: "I'm a little hungry."
Su Qing was taken aback, smiled, and listened to him put water in to cook the noodles. After 10 minutes, the two had a big bowl of beef noodles for extra meal.
Because I want Qi Jiang to eat it with dry food, and Qi Jiang's taste is slightly stronger than Su Qing's, so this beef sauce is full of flavor.
Su Qing is not used to spicy food, but he can accept mild spicy food. After eating a bowl of noodles, he breaks out in a thin sweat. Drinking a glass of water, the spicy taste in his mouth is much less.
Qi Jiang went to wash the dishes and pots, Su Qing wiped off his sweat, and after washing his hands, he began to mix the batter, because it was not easy to stir because of the large amount, Su Qing felt sore in his wrists after mixing for a while: "Brother Jiang, your hands are strong, Come and help me make the batter."
Qi Jiang responded and came over to help, mixed a pot of batter and watched Su Qing cover it with plastic wrap and make a few small holes, he was a little puzzled: "Isn't it pancakes now?"
"No, there is no yeast at home, so let it be fermented in the afternoon, and baked after dinner in the evening."
Qi Jiang nodded, looked at the savory beef sauce next to him, took a pair of chopsticks, put a piece of beef in his mouth, and his lips and teeth were fragrant. After eating, he fed another piece to Su Qing: "Su Qing, open your mouth .”
Su Qing opened her mouth subconsciously, chewed slightly, and her ears under her hair became a little hot: "You can eat it."
"Blessed to share." Qi Jiang looked at Su Qing with a hint of shyness in his eyes, very satisfied.
Su Qing started to mix the second pot of batter, Qi Jiang didn't know the ratio, so Su Qing had to make a good start.
As for Qi Jiang, he just watched from the side right now, eating a piece of beef with chopsticks from time to time, and then feeding Su Qing a piece, by the way, admiring how embarrassed the beauty was being teased by him, wishing to be so busy all day long.
Of course, this is impossible, and the happy time is always short-lived. With the cooperation of the two, the second pot of batter was quickly prepared, and the work was completed.
Eggs were added when mixing the batter, and all the eggs at home were used up. If you want to eat again, you have to wait until the beginning of next month, when the two of you can buy 30 more.
Su Qing went to get some paper placemats and put them aside for preparation, washed eight extra-sized lunch boxes, and dried them carefully.
"What is this for?" Qi Jiang was puzzled, and then looked at these lunch boxes, do you have them at home?
Of course there is none at home, this is Su Qing who smuggled out.
"I feel that I still have to prepare meals for you. Although dry food is convenient, you will definitely have time to eat when you go out. My lunch boxes have a good heat preservation function. Even if the rice is cold, it is better than dry food. Anyway, it is eaten with beef sauce. .” Su Qing looked at Qi Jiang, “What do you think?”
Qi Jiang felt very good, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I will listen to you."
Although he didn't want Su Qing to be busy, he wouldn't stop him either.
Su Qing pursed her lips slightly and smiled, and then a label was attached to a lunch box, three of which were used to hold tortillas, and the remaining six were used to hold rice.
"Then you eat tortillas in the morning, and eat at noon and evening." Su Qing began to look through their supplies again, found a lot of compressed biscuits, and carefully packed them into a bag, "This is just in case, if Eat compressed biscuits if you don’t have time to eat.”
After thinking about it, he didn't know how many days Qi Jiang was going to go, so he simply packed more biscuits, so that Qi Jiang would not be hungry if he was away for more than three days.
Qi Jiang watched him busy with a smile, his heart was ironed and happy, and he wished to take out a heart and give it to Su Qing.
After eating, Su Qing stubbornly kept half of the salt-baked chicken, and ordered Qi Jiang to dismantle the bones to make hand-shredded salt-baked chicken, and then he made Qi Jiang pancakes non-stop.
After baking the cake, Su Qing began to scoop the salt-baked chicken shreds and beef sauce into the middle of the cake, and folded the four corners together to wrap it up. Because the cake is relatively thin, the three wrapped cakes look much thicker when stacked together. There is a pack of placemat paper, so you won't get your hands dirty when eating.
Because it was getting dark, his movements were fast, and Qi Jiang learned from the side, as clumsy as if he had just learned how to make dumplings.
Su Qing felt that his movements were too slow and it was getting late, so he couldn't stand it anymore, so he drove him away: "Go and bottle the beef sauce."
Qi Jiang put down the tortilla helplessly: "Okay."
The two worked together until it was completely dark. During this period, the fire on the balcony never stopped, and they cooked two pots of rice.
While cooking the rice, Su Qing also boiled [-] salted duck eggs, put them aside and let them cool in cold water before wiping them dry and putting them in a bag. This was what he had agreed before, and asked Qi Jiang to "bribe" his teammates with them.
When the lunch box was fully filled, Su Qing clapped her hands: "It's finally done."
Qi Jiang looked at him and chuckled softly, went into the room and took out the hiking bag, and put the food in with him.
Food is on the bottom, clothes are in the middle, and emergency supplies like medical kits are on the top.
Qi Jiang picked up the mountaineering bag and weighed it. He sighed to himself that luckily he had mutated and his physical strength became stronger. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to climb the mountain with such a heavy thing on his back.
After washing and going to bed, Su Qing blew out the candles and lay down in bed, looking at the ceiling and counting her fingers in her heart to see if there was anything missing.
After much deliberation, he felt that there was not enough water, so he got up again and lit a candle to get out of bed.
"What's the matter?" Qi Jiang also sat up with a puzzled look on his face.
"I'm going to get a few more bottles of water and put them in. I sweat a lot after exercising a lot, so drink more water. I don't think I have enough water prepared." Su Qing walked out while talking.
Qi Jiang was taken aback, and after counting the water Su Qing prepared for him, he felt that it was enough: "No need, that much water must be enough."
Su Qing didn't listen, went out and counted again, and added five bottles of water before feeling safe.
Qi Jiang followed him out somewhat dumbfounded, and obediently watched without stopping him: "Okay, go back to sleep."
Su Qing hummed lightly, and went back with him, just laying down and felt that salt water should be prepared, so she quickly took the lighter to relight the candle.
Before Qi Jiang could lie down, he looked at him suspiciously again: "What's wrong?"
"Sweating needs to add salt, I will add some salt to the water."
"No need, the beef sauce tastes enough, and there will be no lack of salt." Qi Jiang quickly pulled him back and brought him back to the bed, "Go to sleep, everything is really ready."
Su Qing hesitated to speak, but lay back following his strength: "That's fine."
The room was plunged into darkness again, Qi Jiang was afraid that Su Qing would fall asleep and get up again, so he closed his eyes after waiting for a while when there was no movement.
Half asleep and half awake, Qi Jiang felt the quilt move slightly, opened his eyes sleepily, and heard the sound of someone walking out lightly.
"Su Qing?"
Su Qing's footsteps stopped, and his voice was slightly innocent: "Did I wake you up?"
Feeling helpless, Qi Jiang lifted the quilt and lit a candle: "What are you going to do?"
"I just want to give you a passbook."
Qi Jiang:? ? ?
"Go to sleep, I'll be back later."
How can Qi Jiang sleep here?Call him quickly: "What are you doing with your passbook?"
"I think you still need a military shovel and a Swiss knife. You don't have any at home. When you go to the assembly, take your passbook and ask, and try to buy them back for self-defense. And I feel that I am not prepared enough. You will see yourself when the time comes." You can use passbooks to buy anything you lack, and if you want to go on a mission, there should be a green channel, right?" Su Qing explained softly.
Qi Jiang helped his forehead, got out of bed and brought the man back, threw the passbook on the bed, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Not everyone can prepare their own weapons, and they will be issued at that time. You should go back to sleep first, be good, don't think too much about it."
"But in case something is not prepared..."
"No, you are well prepared, trust me, okay?" Qi Jiang blew out the candles and covered Su Qing with a quilt.
"The passbook will be released tomorrow, you have to take it with you." Su Qing still didn't give up.
Qi Jiang responded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, go to sleep, I will use my passbook to buy what I need tomorrow, go to sleep first."
"Remember."
Qi Jiang was very sure and gave a loud hum to reassure him, wrapped his arms around Su Qing's waist, felt the person in his arms stiffen for a moment, let go of his arms slightly, and said, "Don't get up again, or I will I was reluctant to leave."
Su Qing's eyes flickered slightly, he hummed inaudibly, and obediently closed his eyes, but this time he still couldn't fall asleep.
It's not because of wanting luggage, but because he's not used to being held by Qi Jiang.
"Brother Jiang..."
"Huh?" Qi Jiang opened his eyes, helplessness flashed in his eyes, wouldn't he think of something unprepared again?
"Can you stop hugging me, I'm not used to it." Su Qing's waist moved slightly, seeing that Qi Jiang didn't let go, he pushed his arm again with his hand.
Qi Jiang let out a muffled laugh, and stopped holding him, stretched out a hand to rub Su Qing's hair, remembering what he forgot: "I said yesterday that I will take you to cut your hair today, I forgot .”
Su Qing pursed her lips, touched her hot ears with her hand in the dark, moved a little away from Qi Jiang, and felt much more at ease: "But remember to buy me chicken and eat it back."
Qi Jiang chuckled: "Well, go to sleep, and I'll take you to cut your hair when I come back."
"it is good."
Su Qing's breathing gradually became softer, but this time it was Qi Jiang's turn to be unable to sleep. He looked at Su Qing in the dark and sighed slightly.
what to do?Really don't want to go.
Today, it was hard to confirm that Su Qing liked him a little bit. I wanted to wait until the task was done before thinking about how to turn a beautiful woman into a wife, but today Su Qing was busy for him, Qi Jiang felt his meticulous care, and felt a little uncomfortable. want to leave home.
Originally, this emotion could be suppressed by him, but now he has a great impulse. He really wants to take Su Qing with him wherever he goes, and put people under his nose all the time.
Qi Jiang sighed again, looking at the ceiling helplessly, feeling completely sleepy.
"Brother Jiang..." Su Qing turned over slightly, looked at him with squinted eyes, and said sleepily in his voice, "Are you still asleep?"
Qi Jiang paused, and said softly: "Sleep, you go to sleep too, good boy."
"it is good."
Su Qing fell asleep again, Qi Jiang didn't dare to make any more noise, and closed his eyes heavily.
I still have to go, Su Qing has prepared so many things for him, after a tiring day, wouldn't his work be in vain if he doesn't leave?
Moreover, the outside world is changing rapidly, so how will he know what the world has become if he doesn't go out and have a look?How to protect their little home more confidently?
Can't be more peaceful in this fucking world, wouldn't it be good to let him chase after his wife?
Qi Jiang cursed secretly and fell asleep. In the dream, he took Su Qing to watch a grand fireworks, hugged Su Qing in circles, and proposed to Su Qing with a ring.
As soon as the picture changed, he and Su Qing walked into the hall to exchange rings, and received the blessings of the world, everyone said that he and Su Qing were a match made in heaven.
When they were about to kiss, the modern auditorium suddenly turned into ancient red silk. Su Qing sat on the bed with a hijab covered. He was wearing a red wedding dress and lifted the red hijab. Looking at him, there is a small smile in his eyes, his cheeks are rosy, and his voice is gentle: "Husband..."
Qi Jiang felt that he was drunk, so he couldn't help himself, and gently pulled Su Qing's belt away, watching his clothes slip off his shoulders, a touch of white mixed with two touches of pink...
Rumble!
The wedding room was shaken, and the scene in the dream was instantly shattered. He and Su Qing were separated by thousands of miles in an instant, and Su Qing's reluctant voice could still be heard.
"Husband..."
"Brother Jiang, get up, there's an earthquake!"
"Brother Jiang! There's an earthquake!"
"Jiang……"
Qi Jiang suddenly opened his eyes, not knowing what year it is, Su Qing held a candle, and when he saw him wake up, he breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Qi Jiang up: "Brother Jiang, get up!"
In the flickering candlelight, Su Qing's anxious expression brought Qi Jiang back to his senses: "Go and open the window."
Su Qing responded, blew out the candle and opened the window, and the fog quickly poured into the house. After Qi Jiang saw the road clearly, he ran out to get the mountain bag and flew out of the balcony with Su Qing.
Snapped!
The balcony window was closed again by Su Qing, and the two flew to the square non-stop, and sat down in a place with few people.
Su Qing looked at Qi Jiang who was spreading the blanket with some guilt: "Brother Jiang, did I disturb you and you didn't wake up because you slept too late?"
"It's nothing, it's just a dream I had." Qi Jiang felt a little lost.
Almost!
He almost had a bridal chamber!
Thinking of this, he felt that he was worthless, wasn't he a bridal chamber in a dream?What is there to regret?
Su Qing frowned slightly, thinking that the dream should be due to poor sleep: "Then you should sleep, so as not to lose energy tomorrow."
Qi Jiang quietly looked at Su Qing who had no sign of enlightenment at all, nodded heavily, and after lying down, he couldn't help but look at him again.
It's over, I really don't want to leave now!
How about chasing your wife at home, what kind of mission is there!
"Brother Jiang, we didn't bring our passbook." Su Qing exclaimed softly.
Qi Jiang's thought of not wanting to leave home was shattered, he closed his eyes resignedly to fear that he would be shaken again, and handed the passbook to Su Qing: "I brought it."
What a fucking world!
Really annoying!
Fuck!
Qi Jiang opened his eyes, looking at Su Qing who was carefully helping him put away his passbook, his eyes showed a hint of impulsiveness.
what to do?He really wanted to confess.
But now the timing is not right, he will go on a mission in a few hours, I really confess, no matter whether Su Qing agrees or not, he will not be able to leave by then.
Su Qing turned around and asked softly, "Why aren't you sleeping?"
Qi Jiang came back to his senses, hesitated for a few seconds, looked at Su Qing's eyes and said seriously: "Su Qing, you have to wait at home for me to come back."
Su Qing:? ? ?How do you say it looks like going out to fight?It's scary.
