In the age of garbage cans, stock up to feed the famine boss

Chapter 2 Shui Lingling is in touch
When Mo Beichen received Yang Muxi's reply, he felt inexplicably warm in his heart. He quickly wrote back to Yang Muxi, fearing that he had wasted Yang Muxi's time.

"The drought here is severe. There has been little rain in the past two years. The land has dried up and cracked, reservoirs and rivers have all dried up, crops have failed, and food supply is insufficient."

"Comrade, can we buy food here?"

When Yang Muxi saw the reply, she felt very strange. So far, she had not heard of any place where the drought was so severe that all the reservoirs and rivers had dried up. Moreover, even if there was a real drought, people would not starve because the food supply was absolutely sufficient.

Thinking of this, Yang Muxi quickly wrote back to Mo Beichen, "Where are you? Where is the drought so severe?"

Now that artificial rainfall technology is mature, even if there is a drought, it will not last so long.

Mo Beichen replied, "I'm in Anshan City, Southeast Province."

Yang Muxi picked up his phone and searched it. The search result was 'There is no Southeast Province in our country', so he hurriedly asked, "What year and month is it this year?"

Then a calendar with a very old feel appeared in front of her.

Seeing the date and date above, Yang Muxi was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the person opposite her was actually in the difficult period of eating grass roots and tree bark that her grandparents had talked about!
What surprised her even more was that a simple, plain trash can could actually connect her to the people of that era in such a vivid way?

Thinking of that era, Yang Muxi's mood suddenly became heavy. When she was young, her grandparents also told her about the past. That time was so desperate. Many people had no food to eat and were waiting to die in despair. Her grandfather's childhood friend was starving to death on the doorstep of his own home.

Every time Yang Muxi heard his grandparents talk about those things, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

Now that she has encountered this situation, she definitely cannot stand idly by. Although one person's power is small, she will do her best to help.

So Yang Muxi quickly wrote back to Mo Beichen, "I can indeed buy food here, but the price difference between the two places may be a bit big. I don't know if you can accept it."

Knowing that Yang Muxi could help buy food, Mo Beichen seemed to see hope, his eyes were red with excitement, and he quickly replied, "I can accept it, I can accept it, but I still trouble you to try to buy me the cheapest food such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, radishes and cabbages. As long as I can fill my stomach, it's fine. I don't ask for too much."

Mo Beichen quickly put the reply letter into the vegetable basket, then took out his savings box and put all the money in it into the vegetable basket.

Once the money is gone, it’s gone. The most important thing right now is food. We can save money slowly in the future.

Yang Muxi, "Do you have something to hold water? I'll try to pass the water to you."

Mo Beichen was pleasantly surprised and quickly ran into the kitchen with a basket of vegetables.

"Comrade, I'm ready. You can deliver the water." Putting the letter into the basket, Mo Beichen directly lifted the basket above the empty water tank.

Yang Muxi took the trash can to the kitchen, placed it directly under the faucet, set an alarm on his phone for ten minutes, and then turned on the faucet.

After that, Yang Muxi leaned there and called the owner of the dumpling shop on the commercial street, "Boss He, is it open yet? If it's open, send me 20 servings of fresh meat dumplings."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Muxi began to count the money Mo Beichen gave her. It was a total of 800 yuan, but the money was black. She had never seen such money before, and she was not sure if she could use it.

If the money cannot be used here, then she will lose eight hundred yuan.

After thinking about it, Yang Muxi decided to forget it. It was just 800 yuan anyway. She spent more than that to rescue a stray cat. It also cost her hundreds of yuan every time to deliver rice, flour, grain and oil to lonely elderly people. She might as well just consider it as a good deed!

Who let fate let her meet a pen pal from another time and space? At this time, the owner of the dumpling shop called and said that the dumplings had arrived. Yang Muxi hurried out to pick up the dumplings. Watching the boss leave on an electric bike, she quickly closed the door and went back to the house.

As soon as ten minutes passed and the alarm clock rang, Yang Muxi quickly turned off the faucet.

*
Seeing the clear and transparent water flowing out of the vegetable basket and rushing into the large water tank, Mo Beichen's body began to tremble with excitement.

water!
It can really transmit water!

Mo Beichen pursed his dry lips. He hadn't drunk a big gulp of water for a long time. Each time he just took a sip to moisten his lips.

Because a family is only supplied with one bottle of water a day, everyone can only drink it sparingly and has no way to wash.

Now that there is so much water, he can finally drink it to his heart's content.

After a while, the water stopped flowing. Mo Beichen reached out and touched the basket. It was dry and didn't look like it had ever been filled with water.

This is really amazing.

Putting down the vegetable basket, he quickly used the gourd ladle to scoop up some water and drank it all in one gulp. This feeling of finally getting a rain after a long drought was really wonderful.

These two large jars of water should be enough for the family to use for several days if they are only used for eating and drinking.

At this time, many boxes fell out of the basket. Different from the white boxes containing pure milk, these were transparent boxes, and you could clearly see the plump white dumplings inside.

The moment he saw the dumplings, Mo Beichen's mouth was filled with sourness. Thinking of his grandparents who were so old and hadn't eaten good food for a long time, Mo Beichen quickly sent the vegetable basket and dumplings to his room, then took two boxes of dumplings and poured them into a large bowl, then carried the large bowl to his grandparents' room.

"grandparents……"

The two old men woke up dazedly after hearing the sound. Seeing Mo Beichen, they were a little puzzled. "Beichen, why are you still not asleep so late?"

"Grandpa and grandma, look what this is." Mo Beichen placed two large bowls of dumplings on the table and looked at his grandparents with sparkling eyes.

His mouth was gushing with acid, but he tried hard to control himself because he wanted the old man to eat first.

"This is... dumplings?" Both old men were shocked and couldn't believe it.

Are they presbyopic?
Otherwise, how can we see dumplings made of pure white flour at this time?

"Yes, it's dumplings, grandpa and grandma, please eat quickly!" Mo Beichen handed the chopsticks to the two elderly people.

"Beichen, you should eat these dumplings. We are old enough..." The two old men looked at the chopsticks handed to them, swallowed their saliva, and then declined.

"Grandpa and grandma, please eat quickly! I'll think of other ways after you finish eating." Mo Beichen knew that his grandparents wanted to save the dumplings for him, so he directly stuffed the chopsticks into their hands.

He has asked someone to help buy food, and the days of eating one sweet potato a day will soon be over.

"Beichen, wait a moment." Grandma Mo put the chopsticks on the large bowl, bent down and pulled out a box from under the bed, and said, "Beichen, take all these things out to exchange for food!"
