When Jing Yao learned about this, she was both amused and numb.
Because she had pulled grass out of ignorance like this in her previous life.
But later, the country discovered that although this stuff was disgusting, it was edible, so it was promoted as a staple food.
But Jing Yao is very curious about who was the first person to discover that it can be eaten.
Property Manager Tao Zheng: The distribution point distributes two cakes to residents every day. Please collect them on time. @all members
Qunli Property Management quickly notified us to receive the cake.
"Yao Yao, do you want our family to pick it up too?"
"Take it."
Why not get it? Rice is in short supply in my supermarket, but I haven't seen any store where I haven't gone to get it.
So everyone is very good.
As for what to do with it when it is taken back, no one knows.
Thinking of this, Jingyao got up and put on the bee-proof clothes, just in time to catch today's water.
Before reaching the distribution point, Jing Yao saw someone looking around on the roadside.
He didn't pay much attention, but the man seemed to have discovered something, and rushed towards Jing Yao with a stick in his hand.
Come to yourself?
Jing Yao grabbed the stick and pushed him to the ground with force.
"We know each other?"
"It's you! You killed my mother and my son!"
The man on the ground pointed at Jing Yao and shouted angrily.
"When did I harm your mother and son? It's inexplicable!"
Jing Yao avoids him and is about to leave.
"Don't leave! It was you who caused my mother and son to be bitten by mosquitoes. They are still lying in bed and can't get out of bed!"
Bite by a mosquito?
His mother and son again?
Could it be that they were the nannies from last time?
So this is here to seek revenge?
Seeing that he was about to pounce, Jing Yao took a step back and caught sight of the patrol not far away.
Since the last incident at Qinglu Garden, several patrol teams have been established here in the north of the city.
These patrol teams patrol back and forth according to the distribution of the community, and the team members are replaced every two hours. The previous salary was ten kilograms of rice and an extra bottle of water per day.
Now that the food is gone, we should receive one more loaf of bread every day.
"Help! Someone is robbing us!"
Jing Yao calls for help to the patrol team.
Hearing the cry for help over there, he ran over quickly.
It's hard for them to wear protective clothing and stand in the hot sun, and they can't wipe off the sweat.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
"I···"
"He's going to rob me of my bee-proof jacket!"
Although the patrol members also envied Jing Yao's bee-proof clothing, they were just envious.
"I didn't! She hit me!"
"Dear patrol brothers, he is so big, can I beat him?"
The patrolman looked at the two of them. Jing Yao was tall and the man on the ground was muscular.
It seems like Jing Yao can't beat him no matter what.
This man seems to be a master of porcelain.
The patrolman picked up the man with a fork.
Two rangers held his arms down.
"Come on a patrol with us!"
"No, why did you arrest me? It was she who beat me! I refused to accept it!!"
"Snapped!"
One of the team members slapped him on the head, almost breaking the plastic bag on his head.
"Look at your physiques, which girl can beat you?!"
The man was a little dazed by the slap. While he was quiet, the patrolman pulled him away.
Jingyao felt embarrassed and touched the ground with her toes.
It is true that no other girl can beat him, but not herself.
"Little girl, don't be afraid. If this happens again in the future, just shout loudly. We will patrol the distribution point."
Seeing that Jing Yao remained silent, the other party thought she was scared.
"OK, thanks."
Watching these people walk away, Jing Yao lamented that something would happen if the weeds were not removed.
But I wouldn’t kill anyone on sight.
It seems that we were gentle last time. Next time we must make the other party do less so that they can remember it longer.
There were many people queuing up at the distribution point. When they saw Jing Yao's bee-proof clothing, they knew that this was the person who punched the old lady and kicked the child last time.
Everyone unconsciously moved a little away from her.
People bully the weak and fear the strong.
The black pancakes were placed on the table in front, and there was still a scent in the air. If she didn't know they were mosquito pancakes, Jing Yao would have thought they were delicacies on earth.
"smell good."
"I don't know what kind of cake this is."
No, you don't want to know!
"Didn't the country say there was no food? I think it's all a lie!"
It’s not like the country is out of food.
The country's own research base can still produce a lot, but ordinary people can't eat it at all.
But we can’t really let the people across the country starve to death, so we can only find another way.
Although this mosquito cake sounds disgusting, as long as the mosquito stingers are removed and then cooked at high temperature, it is still a high-protein food.
Of course, people at this time did not know what they were eating.
"What makes this cake so delicious?"
When someone was receiving the bread, he couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know. It was shipped directly from above. Some of it would be good to eat."
The staff really didn’t know what it was made of, but it was enough to keep them from starving to death.
Seeing that he couldn't find the raw materials, the man could only walk away.
Jingyao received six pieces of cake and went home with water.
Aunt Lin looked at the six large black cakes she brought back with curiosity.
"Is this a cake? It smells delicious."
Aunt Lin said, breaking off a small piece and stuffing it into her mouth.
Jing Yao didn't want to stop him.
"Aunt Lin..."
"What's wrong? This cake tastes quite good. I don't know what it is made of."
Jing Yao looked at Aunt Lin's mouth chewing up and down and her somewhat aftertasteful expression, and didn't know whether she should say anything for a moment.
Seeing that Aunt Lin was about to break the cake again, Jing Yao stopped her.
"Aunt Lin, are you sure you still want to eat?"
"What's wrong? This cake is delicious."
Jing Yao sighed inwardly.
"This is mosquito cake."
“····”
"What...what cake?"
Aunt Lin had some doubts about what she heard.
"It's what we catch in exchange for points."
Aunt Lin's eyes opened wider and wider, she rushed into the kitchen, picked up the cup and started gargling.
This is a normal human reaction.
It's not like she had been eating mosquito pancakes for a long time in her previous life, and finally found out what the ingredients of the pancakes she was eating were.
It’s just that everyone has long been used to it, and it doesn’t matter anymore.
"Why does the state distribute pancakes like this to us?!"
"There's no food."
Aunt Lin was silent after hearing this answer.
She forgot that just because the Jing family has food, it doesn't mean that every family has food.
"What smells so good?"
Grandpa came here on a fragrant tour and saw the pancakes on the table. He took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.
Jing Yao and Aunt Lin looked at Grandpa in surprise.
"grandfather···"
"Old man..."
Do you want your hands to be so fast? !
"What's wrong? This cake is delicious. It tastes like the Yikusi sweet rice I had when I was a kid. What is this?"
“Mosquito cake…”
Jing Yao whispered, and Aunt Lin pushed the water glass to Grandpa's hand.
"Mosquito cake?"
Grandpa's hand paused.
Then he broke off another piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth under the surprised gazes of the two people.
"Grandpa, you..."
"Yao Yao, do you still remember our Yikusi sweet rice?"
Reminiscing about hardships and thinking about sweet rice?
How could Jing Yao not remember that there was a meal every year where all the food on the table was wild vegetables, voles and the like.
Even the rice is brown rice with the husk not removed.
The reason why we have such a meal is because of their Jing family's "Long Sword General".
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, living standards gradually improved. The old man saw that the younger generations in his family were becoming more and more out of tune, so he made a rule of having a meal every year to remember the hardships and think about the sweet things.
"One of the dishes on the original Yikusi sweet rice was made by mosquitoes."
Jing Yao was a little surprised. When this custom was introduced to her, the so-called sweet rice for remembering hardships and thinking was just wild vegetables and steamed bread.
Unexpectedly, there were also mosquito pancakes.
"When my grandfather and his comrades participated in the Anti-Japanese War, they were without food in one place for almost a week. They had eaten all the grass roots nearby. It was really mosquitoes that saved their lives."
This was the first time Jing Yao knew that his ancestor had such a fate.
But even so, grandpa can't eat all the mosquito cakes.
Species will become different depending on the environment.
"But, grandpa, these cakes..."
"I know what you want to say. Now is different from the past. Just try these pancakes and forget about it."
Of course grandpa knows what Jing Yao is worried about.
Seeing Grandpa Songkou Jingyao taking those pancakes over.
"Then I'll take care of these."
It can be used to feed Jixiang and the poultry on the farm.
Jingyao turned around and went upstairs into the space. The chickens and ducks on the farm had grown up a lot.
Ji Xiang chased the ducks all over the yard, and Gong Xiang picked up the duck feathers that fell on the ground behind them.
"auspicious!"
Hearing his master's call, Ji Xiang turned around and ran over.
"Ouch~ow~ow~" (What smells so good)
Ji Xiang grabbed Jing Yao's legs, wanting to see what was so fragrant.
Jingyao broke off a small piece of mosquito cake and handed it to Ji Xiang.
Ji Xiang sniffed it for a few times, then opened his mouth and ate it.
"Ouch!" (Yummy)
Judging from Ji Xiang's appearance, he seems to like this mosquito cake.
Jingyao broke a whole piece into pieces and fed it to it.
Leave the rest to Gong Xiang and tell him to feed Ji Xiang occasionally.
"Master, can I feed these to the poultry?"
Congratulations on the detection that these cakes are rich in protein and are very suitable for feeding poultry.
"Ouch~ow~"
Congratulations! How dare you rob my uncle Jixiang of his food rations? See if I don’t bite you to death!
Jixiang's teeth were almost broken when he swallowed it.
"Ouch~"
Jing Yao couldn't help laughing.
"You idiot, congratulations on being a robot. Don't you want it anymore?"
"Ouch!"
It robs me of my food rations!
Jixiang's eyes stared at the pancake noodles in Congratulations' hands with dismay.
"Okay, okay, I can spare you some food."
Jing Yao knocked its head angrily.
Jixiang rubbed back and forth on Jingyao's legs, not looking like a wolf at all.
After catching mosquitoes, the country finally issued an announcement to catch blue nematodes.
Just like catching mosquitoes, it is also used to redeem points.
Soon everyone discovered that the distribution point not only gave out black cakes, but also gave each person a small bag of something similar to brittle bones.
The taste was much better than black cake, and it was very popular among the masses for a while.
During this period, Meng Ming invited herself to the Green Bar more than once, but Jing Yao refused with various excuses.
But the reason this time made Jing Yao unable to refuse.
'Xiaoyao, the class reunion will be at the Green Bar the day after tomorrow. '
After seeing this message, Jing Yao really didn't want to go. What time of the year was it and she was still thinking about the party.
'You haven't seen your high school classmates for several years. You can tell me anything this time. '
'I'll wait for you at the bar the day after tomorrow. If you don't come, I'll go to your house to find you. '
Afraid that Jing Yao wouldn't come, Meng Mingyuan could only say this.
'Okay, I'll be there. '
I'll see you there, I happen to want to go to the bar too.
My Hope Supermarket has always been doing Qingluyuan business, and it’s time to promote it to the outside world.
This class reunion is just an opportunity.
On the day of the class reunion, Jingyao arrived at the Green Bar on time.
When I arrived, I noticed that there seemed to be a lot less cars in the parking lot.
Meng Mingyuan stood at the entrance and looked around. When he saw Jing Yao coming with a parasol, he quickly called her.
"What's wrong with you? I'll come when I say I'll come, and you're still waiting for me while guarding the door."
"Hey, I'm afraid you won't come."
As the two of them walked to the private room, Jing Yao saw that the wine cabinet in the bar seemed to be empty of a lot of wine, and there were even fewer customers.
Sensing Jing Yao's gaze, Meng Mingyuan sighed.
"You also know the recent situation. It's hard to buy food, let alone drinks. It seems that my bar won't be open for long."
"Is there no purchasing channel?"
"All the surrounding supermarkets have been sold out and their stock is gone."
When Jing Yao heard this, wouldn't this be a good time to promote the supermarket she hopes to have?
"Um, have you ever heard of a software called Hope Supermarket?"
"Hope Supermarket? What is that?"
"It's an online supermarket. I don't know who runs it. It has everything. Maybe you can buy it from there."
"Really? Let me see."
Jing Yao pushed the supermarket APP to Meng Mingyuan. When Meng Mingyuan registered and logged in, his eyes dilated several times.
"This...is this true or false?"
"You will know if you place an order and try it. It will be delivered within half an hour."
Meng Mingyuan tried to place an order for a drink with hesitation.
“What software is this and why have I never heard of it?”
"I don't know, this software suddenly appeared. Everyone in our community knows about it, don't you know?"
Meng Mingyuan shook his head.
The door of the private room not far away opened, and someone walked out. Seeing Meng Mingyuan, he quickly put his hand on his shoulder.
"You said you wanted to pick someone up. Where is the person you picked up?"
Meng Mingyuan broke free from the man's grasp calmly.
"That's not it."
Only then did Wang Hao see Jing Yao standing in front of the two of them.
"Oh, she's still a beauty. Is the beauty this guy's girlfriend?"
As he spoke, he took another photo of Meng Mingyuan.
"You kid can do it. You have such a beautiful girlfriend."
Meng Mingyuan pushed Wang Hao away awkwardly.
"Look carefully who she is!"
Wang Hao looked at Jing Yao with some confusion.
"Hey, it looks familiar..."
Wang Hao slapped his forehead and knew who this was.
"Aren't you Jingyao's lover... Uh huh huh"
Meng Mingyuan covered Wang Hao's mouth in time.
Just believe it if you know who it is, there’s no need to say the nickname!
"Yes, I am Jing Yao, the love brain you call me."
Jing Yao smiled and mocked herself.
I don’t know why Meng Mingyuan always feels that Jing Yao’s smile is a bit sinister...
