How to survive in poverty: I use a simulator to farm

This year's sorghum yield is indeed good.

There are no pests or diseases. From one acre of sorghum planted, more than 220 kilograms of sorghum seeds are harvested.

Chen Yixuan couldn't help but share the news with Chen Feiyan. "Daughter-in-law, I really didn't expect that the temperature would be so bad this year, and that there would be a bumper harvest of food!"

Chen Feiyan thought for a while and replied with a smile: "I guess it's related to the white disaster that happened here last year."

"Think about it, the ancients often said that auspicious snow heralds a good year. The snow fell so hard and deep last year, and the snow lasted for a very long time. It was until the end of March this year, and the snow in many places has not been completely scratched out. It has been so long. At that time, I think the insect eggs and other things in the ground should have been frozen to death."

"Even if there was another cold wave in April and May this year, we had another flood after May, and it was so hot in June and July..."

Chen Yixuan nodded when he heard this.

"Daughter-in-law, your analysis is reasonable. I am very happy now. I listened to your words and planted all our land with sorghum. If we had planted wheat, soybeans, etc., this acre of land would not be possible. Charge so much.”

Chen Feiyan thought to herself, isn't this the golden finger of mine that helped?

If it weren't for the life simulator, I wouldn't have known that growing sorghum would yield a bumper harvest.

"Daddy, you said we have a bumper harvest this year, how can we store so much grain?"

"...Daughter-in-law, shouldn't we do what we did in previous years?"

Chen Feiyan didn't know what was going on, but she wanted to eat something in particular this year. That is sorghum dada.

"Daddy, how about we make sorghum cakes to eat this year?"

"In the past, we always ate sorghum rice that was boiled with water. Eating too much can lead to constipation and a little stomach pain. I guess it's because I have a bad gastrointestinal condition and can't fully digest sorghum or something?"

Chen Yixuan was immediately confused.

"Daughter-in-law, this is sorghum dada. As the name suggests, it is also sorghum..."

Chen Feiyan shook her head: "That's different. Sorghum dada is made by steaming the sorghum, then putting the cooked sorghum rice into the groove, and beating it hard with a big wooden hammer."

"Have them flattened, hammered until they are sticky, and then taken out to dry."

"When you are hungry, you can eat it fried, fried, boiled, steamed, or dipped in homemade sauerkraut. It is very convenient and delicious."

Wang Yingying, who was still throwing sorghum rice aside, swallowed her saliva reflexively when she heard her sister-in-law vividly explaining how to eat sorghum cakes.

There is no way, the current family conditions are like this.

She was very satisfied if she could have something fresh to eat.

If the sorghum cake is fried until both sides are golden brown, then a slit is cut in the middle, and some brown sugar is wrapped inside, it will probably taste more fragrant and delicious.

Of course, the taste of sorghum cake is still a little bit worse than that of glutinous rice cake.

When Wang Yingying was little, she loved eating glutinous rice cakes.

Every time she saw her mother frying glutinous rice cakes with sesame seeds. After frying the glutinous rice cake until it is golden all over, cut the glutinous rice cake into two halves. Sprinkle both sides with brown sugar and close.

Bite your teeth into it, it's sweet, crunchy, and sticky.

When Wang Yingying took the first bite of brown sugar glutinous rice cake, she fell deeply in love with it.

Now, after so many years, she suddenly heard Chen Feiyan say that she wanted to eat sorghum cake, and her whole little heart began to beat wildly.

She was excited and looking forward to it.

After she suffered so much, she didn't know why, but she became indifferent to her son's imperial examination.

She suddenly realized that this life in this world is nothing more than eating, drinking, sleeping, food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Life is not easy.

Isn't she working so hard just to satisfy her mouth?

She had to eat well and sleep well.

Chen Yixing didn't know about the change in his wife's mentality. If he knew, he wouldn't say anything. Because he himself has been there.

He is in his thirties.

At his age. In addition, after experiencing so many things, he felt that his body seemed to be much worse than before.

There are no mirrors in the house.

But after he washed his face and feet every night, he noticed that the water in the basin reflected his confused face.

At thirty-six years old, he is really old.

Many of my childhood playmates in the village have passed away.

Among them, some fell into the river and drowned, some died of exhaustion from heavy work, some died of hunger, disease, and some were killed while fighting outside...

When he thought that his former playmates were gone and his family was still fine and reunited, Chen Yixing felt that he must cherish his current life and cherish every day.

He has already noticed that his wife has been acting strange recently and her personality has changed a bit.

Although she still sticks to him as before and regards him as her backbone. However, she became much more greedy than before.

Thinking about eating this and that all day long.

Especially the lard dregs, pork belly, chicken soup, the things she had eaten in the past few years, she would recall to him every now and then the feeling and taste when she ate them.

Every time he heard her say those words, he still felt very uncomfortable.

Because in his eyes, his daughter-in-law is a rich girl born into a privileged family.

She obviously had such a good life before.

During the Chinese New Year, she often eats mutton, bacon and venison...

……

When Chen Yixuan saw that his wife was thinking about eating sorghum cake, he agreed to her.

Although listening to her talk about how to make sorghum cake is a bit complicated and time-consuming, Chen Yixuan knows very well that every time his wife makes something, it tastes good.

So, making sorghum daddy was put on his agenda.

……

It took Chen Yixuan and his family nearly a month to harvest the sorghum and take it home. The sorghum seeds were also dried and stored in the cellar.

Now that the grain harvest has been bumper, Chen Yixuan's family has paid the grain tax again. The family seems to have accomplished something important in life, and everyone is relaxed.

Knowing that they could make sorghum cakes, Chen Feiyan took them to make them every day.

Sift the sorghum seeds through a sieve and steam them in a pot.

After steaming, place it in a stone groove and beat it.

Feeling that the efficiency could not be improved, Chen Feiyan suggested that the sorghum should be ground into powder in a stone mill and then steamed.

Then beat again.

Soon, in less than a week, Chen Feiyan’s family had made more than a hundred grotesquely shaped sorghum cakes, but all of them were made from real materials.

After the sorghum cake was ready, Chen Feiyan put it in the pot and fried it.

These things were originally cooked, but now after being fried, they have puffed up one by one.

It looks extremely big.
