In the Tenth Year After the Natural Disaster, Follow me to Farm Chapter 704

During natural disasters, power resources are scarce, and electric steel bar cutting machines have been abandoned and replaced by manual ones.

“Uncle Huo made this with jacks and steel sheets.” Xia Qing turned to Huo Lei and gave Huo Lei a thumbs up.

Seeing that Xia Qing could easily pick up the steel bars after cutting them for two hours, Jiang Ying secretly moved her fingers and arms to prevent herself from shivering too much when she ate later. She also said, "Uncle Huo, is the frame of this cutting machine made of angle steel removed from the high-voltage transmission line tower?"

"Yes, how did you tell?" Huo Lei was a little surprised. He didn't expect this little girl to understand this.

Jiang Ying explained, "When my brother was not in the army, he often took me to pick up junk and exchange for supplies. We dug out the base of the tower and knocked out this kind of angle steel from the cement block."

During the earthquake in the first year of the natural disaster, Jiang Ying's house collapsed; in the second year of the natural disaster, her father was beaten to death in order to save the family's food. Fortunately, the army took over the area soon and began to establish a safe zone, otherwise none of their family of three would have survived.

After the army arrived, social order was slightly restored. Jiang's mother went around looking for work. Eight-year-old Jiang Ying also followed twelve-year-old Jiang Hu to pick up **** and assemble it into usable items in exchange for points.

The brother and sister have been picking up the natural disaster in the sixth year. Jiang Hu took a free test and his identity card was changed to green. He could earn more points by going on missions, and their family's life became easier.

Jiang Ying's nose started to feel sour and she lowered her head, not daring to think about it anymore.

Xia Qing took over the conversation, "It has to be you. This is the most energy-saving cutting machine I have ever used."

After entering the territory, Huo Lei was much less angry than before. He smiled and responded, "This has nothing to do with craftsmanship. The steel plate used is hard enough and the blade is sharp enough to save effort. I will sharpen the blade after dinner. In the afternoon. You tie the stirrups and I'll cut them."

Zhao Ze took off his protective mask, wiped his sweat and walked over to discuss with Xia Qing, "Sister Qing, let's rush to work in the afternoon. The steel beams will be erected before three o'clock, and then the ground and beams on the first floor will be poured with concrete at the same time. At six o'clock, Finished before. I'll tell Brother Yue later. Will we add three more people this afternoon?”

In order to prevent insects and earthquakes, the floors, walls and roofs must be covered with steel bars and then poured with concrete.

"good."

Xia Qing agreed with Zhao Ze's arrangement. Construction could continue only after two days of concrete pouring and confirmation that there were no abnormal changes. In other words, after finishing today, they can rest for two days before coming back.

After obtaining Xia Qing's consent, Zhao Ze shouted loudly, "Everyone, let's take a break and go to eat. Let's start work at 1:30 in the afternoon."

“Sister Qing, do you think it's okay this time?” Shi Du adjusted the angle of the stirrup hook and asked Xia Qing to check it.

"That's it." Xia Qing finished checking and followed everyone to the canteen in Territory No. 15.

After eating, they can rest here or go back to their territory to rest for a while.

When he was on the construction team, Xia Qing would find a shady place with few people to sleep for a while after eating, and then continue working in the afternoon. However, the labor intensity of building a house in Territory No. 15 is much less than that of the construction team in the safe zone. Xia Qing will not feel tired even if he does not sleep at noon. So she decided to go back, take a shower, change clothes, and then come back to work. The clothes she was wearing were already soaked.

Today's lunch is yellow light wild boar stewed with beans. The wild boar was brought back by the team led by Yue Haiying, and the beans are grown in the greenhouse.

The chef in Territory No. 15 is a retired cook who is good at cooking large pots of food. Before he even reached the container that was converted into a canteen, the aroma wafted over. After washing her hands with everyone and entering the simple but clean canteen, Jiang Ying was worrying about how to serve the food. Tan Qi had already brought the food to her, "Sister Qing, Sister Yingzi, this way!"

"Okay." Jiang Ying followed Xia Qing to the clean wooden table and sat down. She took the chopsticks handed over by Tan Qi. She wanted to say that Qiqi served her too much food, but she found that Xia Qing's food quantity was too much. The food and staple food were twice as much as mine. I couldn't help but feel a sore nose again and almost cried.

Power evolvers eat a lot, and so does her brother, who has to eat a lot to be full. In order to have enough to eat, he joined the army.

"Today's food is delicious. Eat it quickly. If it's not enough, let's serve it again." Tan Qi was like a cheerful bird, calling her two sisters to eat quickly, then biting her chopsticks and looking at them eagerly, expecting their feedback.

Xia Qing pretended not to hear Jiang Ying's breathing changes, took a bite of the stewed meat, and commented sincerely, "It's delicious. This stewed meat is so delicious."

The chef in Territory No. 15 is no better than Xia Qing in cooking skills. If she were not afraid that the secrets in the territory would be leaked, she would really want to poach this chef into her territory.

Jiang Ying, whose fingers were sore, couldn't pick up the vegetables, so she lowered her head and took a bite with chopsticks, and her taste buds were instantly activated. She lowered her voice and asked sheepishly, "Such a delicious meal can be satisfied by paying fifty points a month. Am I paying too little?"

Xia Qing smiles. Not only does she look good, but Jiang Ying also has a tiger-like personality. She doesn't talk much and is sincere. She could tell at a glance that the steel frame of the cutting machine was made of angle iron, and she probably knew how to modify a bicycle.

But she was still a little reserved when she first arrived, so this was not the time to ask such questions.

Tan Qi smiled and rolled her eyes, "It's quite a lot. We can't eat meat every day. We have to eat it when Uncle Yue and the others hunt edible prey. Uncle Yue always goes out hunting these days, so he's very happy."

Yue Haiying was not happy because he went hunting, but because Zhang Hongda had the antidote. He didn't go out specifically for hunting, but because Zhang Hongda needed two people to help him during his second course of detoxification treatment.

Xia Qing ate two bowls of vegetables, four steamed buns and a bowl of mung bean soup, and left Territory No. 15 satisfied.

Tan Qi and Jiang Ying followed Xia Qing out. They were going back to the platoon dormitory for a lunch break. Tan Junjie vacated the dormitory next to him for Jiang Ying to live in, and after the house was built, she and Tan Qi moved into the territory together.

After separating from Xia Qing, Tan Qi asked in a low voice, "Sister Yingzi, are you tired?"

“I'm tired, but I feel very at ease.” The people who work here are either lords or my brother's comrades, and they are all trustworthy people. It was much better than the food factory in the safety zone. Jiang Ying secretly made up her mind to adapt to life here as soon as possible, learn to farm, and then take her mother over.

Jiang's mother took Jiang Ying's place and worked in a food factory, earning a monthly salary of 90 points.

Tan Qi felt the same and nodded vigorously, "Yes, that's it!"

Xia Qing was in a hurry at noon. He did not go through the northern isolation zone and returned to his own territory through the passage between the two territories.

As soon as he walked into the passage between Territory No. 6 and Territory No. 14, Xia Qing heard someone walking on grass stubble in Territory No. 14. She pretended not to hear and kept walking, ready for a fight. (End of chapter)
