Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 292

Si Ningning looked at it for a while, and gradually felt relieved, thinking that the sow in the small pen here has already given birth, so the other sow should be about the same, right?
Without delay, Si Ningning put straw on another sow's pen.

The pig from earlier obviously still has some in its stomach. As far as it is concerned, Si Ningning can't tell whether the situation of the big pig is good or not. If there is room for it, she is not very relieved.

After hesitating for a while, Si Ningning decided to stay in the space and do other work while waiting for the big pig to give birth.

Sort out the acorns that were knocked out one after another a while ago, and grind them into powder one after another with a wall breaking machine.

The three-liter capacity of the wall-breaking machine also counts the internal equipment. It can only hold less than half a catty of acorns at a time. Si Ningning knocked it out by himself, and with the uninterrupted help of other educated youths, he knocked out a total of seven catties of acorns , It took nearly an hour just to pack these acorns.

Si Ningning put his hands on the top cover of the wall breaking machine the whole time, and after crushing all the acorns, his hands became numb.

Although the acorn powder produced by the wall breaking machine can be processed and imported, it is not pure acorn powder.

The real pure acorn powder needs to be rinsed with water to remove impurities.

To put it bluntly, pure acorn flour is actually starch extracted from acorns.

Regardless of the seven or eight catties of acorn powder obtained so far, it would be good to get two catties of acorn starch after rinsing.

The process of rinsing acorn starch is not cumbersome and complicated, but it takes time to settle.

Si Ningning took a spoon and a bowl and poured out a portion of the semi-finished acorn powder. After preparation, he would see if there was a suitable opportunity to take it out to make some special snacks. Most of the remaining acorn powder was poured out on a large plate. went in.

Si Ningning moved the basin to the kitchen sink and clamped it, and turned on the faucet to store water in it.

Stir while storing water, and then reach in to pick up the acorn powder at the bottom and rub it to separate the impurities and dust as much as possible.

Mo Yue refilled more than half of the basin of water, but Si Ningning felt that it was almost the same, so he washed his hands under the faucet on the other side, and went out of the kitchen to find a pair of labor protection gloves to put on.

While the acorn flour is standing still, the soybeans planted before can be harvested.

The soybeans to be harvested this time are more than the previous batch. With Si Ningning's harvesting speed, it is impossible to harvest them all in one go.

Si Ningning put on another rough-hewn gown over his clothes, and started harvesting soybeans after making all preparations.

Moyo harvested soybeans from a ridge of land, and the sows that had littered earlier began to calve again, and she gave birth to three more pigs in a row, a total of seven pigs of different sizes. The sow must be tired, lying on the side and not moving much.

Seeing that the piglets came out safely, Si Ningning was slightly relieved. He boiled a large pot of all kinds of miscellaneous grains in the kitchen mixed with oil and water, poured half of each of the two sows' pots, and poured the newly harvested soybeans into the pot. Added some to the pot.

Sows with solid food can recover faster, and the one that hasn't started to give birth can also save a little more energy.

After cooking the two sows, Si Ningning turned slightly to look at the boar that was pickled a month ago.

The two sows are eating greasy beans here, and the boar is offering cabbage pitifully over there, um...

There seems to be a slight difference in treatment.

Si Ningning poured some soybeans into the boar pot, "You are also gay, right? Right now soybeans are in short supply, so let the female comrades come first."

While talking, Si Ningning raised his chin towards the two sows, "And did you see, pregnant woman!"

The black pig looked up at Si Ningning, and didn't know if he understood or what, he just opened his mouth and didn't yell again.

Si Ningning couldn't hold back a smile, and added a handful of soybeans to the pot next to the boar's pen as a comforting reward, "When the other beans are harvested, you will be indispensable."

As if he really understood what Si Ningning said, the black pig's tail was curled upwards like a spring, and he buried his head in a "humming hum" as he ate the soybeans in the basin.

If he could really understand human speech, what Hei Zhu was thinking right now would be: Soybean!Heh heh heh—I'm waiting for you to fulfill your promise.

But how did it know that what Si Ningning was thinking at this time was that the other sow might have six or seven piglets, so she had to get rid of this big black pig before the piglets grew up.

The wooden fence in the space has been used up, and the new pigsty can only be built slowly with bamboo, which is not a small project.

Si Ningning didn't want to be too troublesome or too tired.

After cooking a few pigs, Si Ningning picked up the scattered eggs.

The grasses and trees transplanted before have all grown well. Most of the trees were small when they were transplanted, so the growth is not obvious. The growth of those golden cherry blossoms, honeysuckle, and purslane is really fast.

The backyard fence is covered with honeysuckle green vines, and if it continues to grow upwards, it will have to climb along the wall to the roof.

The golden cherry blossoms are also growing well. If the newly drawn thorns are full of pink or white flowers, they will look very beautiful.

The horse-tooth fries did not give up too much. In the past, there were few chickens in the space, and the open space was basically scattered and overgrown by the horse-tooth fleas. Now there are more chickens in the space, and the reason for pecking and eating from time to time indirectly controls the horse-tooth. Jian's domineering growth.

As Si Ningning expected, the space is developing in an inexhaustible direction...

But these are still what you can see on the surface. Si Ningning thought about it, when he enters the space next time when there is enough time, he must take care of the honeysuckle vines on the fence in the backyard.

Now, good-looking is good-looking, but if it is allowed to grow longer, it will not be necessarily so.

Moreover, when the honeysuckle vines gradually grow thick and develop in the direction of lignification, it will be troublesome to clean up later.

Glancing at the sow with a bulging belly, Si Ningning expected that the pig would not give birth today, and she would not be able to wait forever if she did, so she took off her gloves and put them on the pigsty, walking towards the villa while Unbutton the gown.

Taking off his dirty coat, he broke up the loose braids in the bathroom and combed them again. Si Ningning washed his hands and face, checked the acorn powder in the kitchen, and poured off the yellowish water on his face After that, some water was added to the basin and continued to settle before turning around and leaving the space.

The educated youth spot ushered in more than a dozen new little lives, and the Coke spoiled everyone, especially Jiang Yue. She was the most active in taking care of the rabbits before, and now she has given birth to more than ten little rabbits. So, but what about reality?
Every meal has to hold the lunch box and eat it facing the rabbit cage, as if eating like that will taste better.

Si Ningning couldn't help shaking his head and smiling every time he saw her.

However, these two litters of rabbits did allow Si Ningning to see what is called "one day a day". The first day the newborn rabbits are indeed ugly, and the second day there is no change in appearance, but they feel more energetic. But from the third day on, the change of the little rabbit became more and more obvious.

For example, the characteristics of the ears are obvious, and there are obvious small fluff on the body. From about the sixth day, the little rabbit gradually began to change in the direction of fur. The cute little appearance is not to mention that the female educated youths can't control it, and a group of male educated youths are idle. I have nothing to do, and I also like to run over to have a look.

This was something that happened outside the space, but in Si Ningning's space, half a day had passed since the first sow gave birth, and the second sow also started to give birth.

The second sow gave birth not so smoothly. Eight piglets were born in one litter. The last two piglets were entangled to death by the umbilical cord in the womb, or the umbilical cord around the neck was not removed in time after birth. strangled.

Si Ningning only entered the space the next day. Anyway, when she entered the space, the two black-backed, black-headed little pigs were already completely cold.

It's a pity, but it can't be helped.

Si Ningning dug a deep hole next to the mulberry tree by the creek, close to the side of the tree trunk, and threw the two piglets into the hole to bury them, so they could be used as fertilizer after they rotted.

Si Ningning kept picking larger vegetable leaves from the space and taking them out. This kind of vegetable leaves were eaten less, and they were spread out on the doorstep to dry on the steps of the door when no one was around at the educated youth spot, and prepared for the rabbits. For rations.

With so many mouths added, it’s impossible not to prepare, or the rabbits won’t be able to live until winter.

When Si Ningning is tossing about these things, she will estimate the time in advance. For example, in the morning, as soon as the educated youths go out, she enters the space to tidy up, or at noon, as soon as the educated youths leave their front feet, she enters the space with their back feet...

In this way, when the educated youths come back at noon or in the evening, the vegetable leaves are almost dried, and it is impossible to tell whether they are old or tender. Once someone asks, Si Ningning is easy to answer, just say that they are from the team Which aunt cleaned up the vegetable field and gave it to her, or she picked up the discarded ones and so on.

Of course, Si Ningning didn't use such an excuse every time. After she dried the vegetable leaves several times at the entrance of the educated youth point as a cover, she put the processed vegetable leaves directly into the broken basket for the fodder.

Anyway, they are all half-dried and wrinkled in the sun, and I can't tell anything if I get close to them.

Working in the space before, Si Ningning was sweating profusely, probably related to this, the low-grade fever and cough that had been on and off for half a month were finally eradicated.

At that time, the time also slipped to the beginning of winter in mid-November, under the sound of firecrackers thrown by shaking bamboo poles, the literacy class officially started!
After the firecrackers "cracked and crackled", there was a burst of smoke in front of the door of the literacy class.

Zhao Hongbing waved his big black hand in front of him, and after waving away the pungent sulfur smell, he opened his mouth and shouted cheerfully:
"The commune encourages us to restart the literacy class. Although our progress is a month or so behind other production teams, no production team can have literacy classes like ours."

Zhao Hongbing moved back and waved his hand, signaling the people around him to look over.

At the entrance of the literacy class, not only all the furry children who signed up to participate in the study stood, but also many adults surrounded them.

Hairy kids don't necessarily understand these principles. Zhao Hongbing waved his hand to let the adults present understand that the production team has given everything they can in terms of conditions, and they need their parents' cooperation in the future.

"The follow-up arrangement is as I said before. During the daytime, our team's Si Zhi... Ah no, it's Teacher Si and Teacher Jiang!"

Zhao Hongbing breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "During the day, the children are taught by Teacher Si and Teacher Jiang from our team. In the evening, after dinner, everyone listens to the whistle of the team! At least one adult will be in the family. Here, other educated youths from the educated youth point come to class to popularize knowledge, and take our members out of the predicament of ignorance and illiteracy!"

"The number of people is not fixed. In order to complete the tasks of the commune, each household must provide at least one person! But if the whole family wants to come, that's welcome! You should also pay attention to it during class. The small tables are all Children's desks! If I see someone sitting on the desk and break the desk for me, I'll scold you later, don't blame me for not giving you face!"

The members of the commune were trained to straighten their heads and shrink their necks. Obviously, Zhao Hongbing had already figured out their details.

Immediately, they didn't dare to say anything else, each of them nodded awkwardly with a smile, "Team, captain, don't worry, when the time comes, we will bring our own benches, and we will definitely not sit on the table!"

"Yes, Captain, I promise!"

"I promise too!"

Members, you are talking one by one, and suddenly someone asks: "Captain, it gets dark early now, and it will be completely dark by seven o'clock. You can't even look at it with your palms out. Why do you still have classes? How do you get rid of illiteracy?" !?"

Zhao Hongbing waved his hand and said, "Light on the lamp!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of noisy discussion in the crowd, and soon someone asked:
"Then who will turn on the light?"

As if Zhao Hongbing had expected it, he chuckled, and scanned the crowd with scrutiny, "I've already got the lamp, please join us for the kerosene!"

"Huh? Let's get together? This..."

The crowd was buzzing and discussing again, and before everyone asked questions again, Zhao Hongbing waved his hand and raised his voice: "That's it! No one needs to say anything, what's the matter? Study conditions, you mothers and fathers, don’t you want to share kerosene money?”

"No, no. No! Everyone is willing!" A black-faced and thin man said, and turned to ask others, "Do you think so?!"

"Yes! Just follow what the captain said!"

The others responded in unison, Zhao Hongbing looked a little better now.

How much kerosene can a kerosene lamp use, and how much is that kerosene worth?
Zhao Hongbing didn't care about paying it by himself at all, but why didn't he pay it?
It is to count the urinating nature of these old oily people on the production team.

If they didn't bleed a little, there would definitely be very few people who would come to attend the night school literacy class.

But if you pay out, don't care how many cents and miles it is, in order not to let the family lose money, even if they can't listen to the lectures, they will rush over to bask in the light of the kerosene lamp.

They are all honest farming methods, and they are not greedy for money or taking advantage of small things. In fact, they are used to being poor, afraid of being poor, and reluctant to waste a little bit.

Zhao Hongbing himself is also a farmer, and he is very clear about this.
