858: Swap Flowers for Meat

The style of the house still has a Chinese feel. There is a cloakroom as soon as you enter, a living room as you enter, a dining room and kitchen at the corner, a bathroom at the end, and the bedrooms are all on the second floor, which looks quite compact.

"Xiao Chen, come and eat some fruit, eat more."

Xiao Qiang pushed the grapes to the ghost corpse. He learned from Xiao Xue that the ghost corpse had saved Xiao Yu several times and was Xiao Yu's great benefactor, so they were also very good to the ghost corpse, as if they were their own children.

.

"Thank you uncle, I can do it myself."

The ghost corpse looked a little reserved, which made Xiao Yu look on in amusement.

Ghost corpses are so careless elsewhere, but now they are embarrassed. It is really rare.

"You guys talk about going to bed early. I'll go upstairs and take a look."

"Don't come up, I'm coming down...".

Before Xiao Yu could stand up, Xiao Xue's voice came down from upstairs.

She is nine months pregnant, and sleeping at night can be said to be a torture, so she can wake up at the slightest noise. When Xiao Yu and the others were talking in the courtyard, she knew that Xiao Yu was coming.

"Why are you down here? I should go and say hello!"

"No, you will be the emperor soon. I don't dare to let you go to pay your respects."

Xiao Xue said angrily, then looked at Lao Bai and Gu Zhi, and said hello to each other. Then they chatted in the living room for more than an hour before going back to their rooms to sleep.

Back in the room, Xiao Yu told Xiao Xue what had happened in the past few months as if telling a story. The two chatted until dawn and watched Xiao Xue fall asleep before Xiao Yu got up and went downstairs.

.

In the yard, Xiao Yu's parents had cut many roses and daisies, wrapped them in two large newspapers, and were ready to exchange them.

When they came here for the first time, several people were very curious about the surroundings, so under the leadership of Xiao Qiang, they all went to set up stalls and trade together.

"The first thing people here do when they get up in the morning is pick vegetables and then exchange them for fruits and flowers."

Xiao Qiang set the table on the side of the road, took out a sign with the words "for meat" written on it, and then took a bottle of water and sprinkled it on the flowers.

Next to them, everyone else was the same. There were a lot of vegetables on the table, some fruits, and some daily necessities.

Here, there is no cash, and whoever needs something can be exchanged for it. It looks like we have truly entered communism.

In fact, this is also a tactic in the alliance. People are lazy. If everyone is not allowed to do something and just lie at home and watch TV every day, I am afraid that these people will become fat people in a short time.

"Dad, there is no need to exchange the meat. Qinglong is here too. He has brought some. I will just go and get some back later."

Seeing his father exchanging flowers for meat, Xiao Yu understood that it was to entertain them.

"Hey, there's no need to go find someone else. These flowers will wither if you don't replace them. It's better to replace them."

Xiao Qiang waved his hand, as if he didn't want Xiao Yu to trouble Qinglong.

While several people were talking, an uncle walked over carrying a fish, looked at the flowers in front of Xiao Yu and the others, shook his head, and then walked towards the other stall.

"Hey, Uncle Huang, give your daughter-in-law some flowers to bring back."

"No, no, the flowers I replaced last time withered in a day, so it's not cost-effective."

As the old man walked away, he turned back and responded.

"What I'm giving you this time is guaranteed not to wither for three days. How about you come and take a look?"

Xiao Qiang shouted loudly from behind, but the old man ignored him.

Xiao Yu patted Lao Bai, and the three of them walked forward along a street instead of staying here.

This street is not very wide, but people from the entire family area are basically gathered together. There are dozens or hundreds of fixed tables on both sides, which are filled with various vegetables and fruits, but there is no meat.

"It seems that the most lacking thing here is meat. Can't we raise chickens? You can also raise pigs. If you eat vegetables every day, you will feel like a bird in your mouth."

The ghost corpse was beside him and said somewhat puzzled.

Xiao Yu was also very puzzled. This family area was close to an island and there were plenty of fish there. He really couldn't figure out why there was a lack of meat here.

"Go and ask Qinglong tonight. He has been here a few times and should be very familiar with this place."

After shopping around the street, a few people returned to Xiao Qiang's stall. This time, the stall was filled with many beans, tomatoes and so on. As for the meat, there was only a palm-sized sea fish.

"Dad, come back. There is no need to exchange meat. We don't have to eat meat."

After this round, Xiao Yu and the others also understood something. There is no shortage of vegetables here, but there is very little meat. Even if there is some, no one is willing to exchange it.

"Just wait, someone will come...".

Xiao Qiang seemed to be used to this kind of situation, so he didn't panic.

"Xiao Yu, Uncle Xiao, I knew you were here right away...".

There was a voice of surprise in the distance. Xiao Yu looked up and saw Qinglong with his wife and two children.

Just like Xiao Xue said, Qinglong's wife is extremely beautiful and fragrant, and she is not inferior compared to those celebrities.

As for the two children, a boy and a girl, they are very blessed.

"Hello, sister-in-law...".

"Hello, I have always heard my husband mention you, but I never expected you to be so young and handsome."

Qinglong's wife didn't recognize him at all. She looked Xiao Yu up and down for a while and then started teasing him.

"Well, you are young, but in terms of appearance, it is not as good as your husband."

"He is just an embroidered pillow, but he is not as powerful as you!"

"What kind of embroidered pillow could harm my husband so much?"

Qinglong frowned as he listened and immediately interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Hey... Qinglong, I was just looking for you. What is going on here? There are a lot of dishes, but why is there no meat?"

"If you want meat, you have to breed it. If you want to breed it, how do you deal with the livestock excrement? This is just a small island. How can you live if there are mountains of excrement around it?"

"Then how can we get meat? My dad stood there all morning and got some beans instead."

"Meat meals are distributed once a month to all Taoist family members in the alliance. The alliance stipulates that they should eat less meat and visit Taoism more, so they eat less meat."

Qinglong said and walked to Xiao Yu's dad's stall.

"Uncle Xiao, come back, I have some here, enough to feed dozens of people."

There are not many people on the street now, and many people who need to exchange for food have already gone home. There is no point in waiting. Xiao Qiang can only nodded.

Qinglong followed Xiao Yu and told him about the situation here. Xiao Yu also had some understanding of this place.

In the family area of ​​​​the League, food is indeed distributed on time, but these are daily necessities. As for meat, it is also given once a month. The family only has a small amount. For example, if there is a pregnant woman in the family, more eggs will be given to supplement nutrition.

.

If you want to get meat by yourself, you need to hunt on the seabed yourself. But how can ordinary people go into the sea, so they usually use fishing rods to fish. If you are lucky, you can catch one or two, but if you are unlucky, you can only wait.

The alliance came to the rescue.
