On the correct posture for farming in the last days

Chapter 82 Missing

There are fewer and fewer things that can be imported, but people who know how to live still save some.

And, this year, Liu Ya's family raised chickens, and many people in the village also raised chickens.

The big deal is to put it in the house in winter, the smell can't be helped

Some people built earthen stoves in empty houses, and this summer they got a lot of wood from the mountains, so they lit fires to keep animals warm.

On Wednesday, at Grandpa’s house, the cow and the chicken live in the same house, but the chicken is inside the fence.

Earthen stoves are built here, which also burn wood and large charcoal blocks.

Li Xiaorui has been here for a few months, and he is already used to it. After eating well, he has grown taller and fatter, at least he has a normal body shape.

At this time, he was busy in and out, which also made the two elders very happy on Wednesday, and saved a lot of trouble.

After all, I'm getting older, and I can't do a lot of hard work.

Although Li Xiaorui is still young, he is stronger than the two old men.

Of course, the second elder didn't ask him to work in vain, and spent his time making delicious food for him every day.

Even if the diet is simple now, to put it bluntly, it is not for him to raise so many chickens.

The second elder eats eggs at most, but meat is not enough.

Now that the weather has just changed, every household is still busy, and the collected grain has to be dried.

No matter how bad it is, it is still edible.

In a hurry, I opened a mill and an oil mill for a few days.

The primary school had to suspend classes, but old man Zhang and his granddaughter were planning to order a lot of food here.

Some people in the village gave it to their families with children, some gave it as relief, and some took time to collect herbs in the mountains during the summer.

All the wood was burned, and they were all exchanged with the villagers with medicinal materials.

There are also two pickled rabbits, and some things brought by the family in exchange for food, which can barely survive this winter.

After all, one is old and the other is young, and they don't eat much.

Niuniu had never lived such a hard life before, but she was used to it after being almost robbed and starved to death last winter.

Although I still don't like this kind of food, but no matter what, it's better than starving.

The father and father were still thinking that at the end of the year, when Liu Ya's family killed the pig, they would return some meat.

Anything is possible.

With the experience of last year, everyone is waiting for the arrival of extreme cold this year.

There are also people who are still rushing to harvest radishes. This thing can grow when the ground starts to freeze, but it is limited, that is, a few degrees below zero.

If you don't collect it, it will really freeze in the ground.

Anyway, while everyone was busy and waiting, the second heavy snowfall came along with strong wind and frost in the middle of the eighth month of the lunar calendar.

In an instant, the temperature went from minus ten degrees to minus forty degrees.

At night, it was already minus 50 degrees.

Everyone's voice is, finally here.

Humans are creatures of habit.

In the past, the four seasons rotated throughout the year. Now that there is no such rotation in the past, at least there must be a law.

Now this is the law, there are only two seasons left in a year, people are still unfamiliar, but no matter how unfamiliar the law is, it is still the law.

If there is no such thing as a rule, then there is no way to live.

At Liu Ya's house, the first hot pot meal this winter is steaming hot.

Liu Ya's family and Zhou Jing were sitting on the big kang on the first floor.

Lying on the ground were two dogs gnawing meaty bones.

The two Kacha Kacha ate very happily, and swept their tails.

Beside the Kang, Xiao Chen, who still couldn't cross his legs, was eating the dried mushrooms that Liu Ya had picked up for him.

"Well, these mushrooms are delicious." They are all wild mushrooms picked in summer and dried in the sun.

"That's right, it's just that it can't be preserved when it's wet. But this mushroom has an earthy smell when it's wet." Liu Ya said.

Xiao Chen nodded, he also ate it when it was wet, it was indeed not as delicious as it is now.

"I estimate that when the pig is killed in the twelfth lunar month, the Zhoujiazhuang family will share two catties. Cao Jiaao and Han Jialiangzi will also share two catties if they have relatives. What do you think?" Zhou Zhigao said.

"Split the meat?" Ma Fen felt that it was too little.

"A lot. If it was in the past, my family would be happy to share ten catties, but even if our family can afford it now, it can't be like this." Zhou Zhigao said: "Just give some melon seeds and sugar to the children in the village. .”

A lot of melon seeds were stored before Liu Ya. Although these things have a shelf life, they will not go bad as long as they are vacuum-packed all the time.

If it is not a vacuum, it will have a halazi smell after a long time.

"Okay, do you want to invite Qin Qin to eat?" Liu Ya asked.

The above is naturally for her and Xiao Chen, and the two people's certificates have been obtained, but according to Zhou Zhigao and Ma Fen, they still want everyone in the village to know.

"Your uncle's house definitely wants it. You also want it at Zhou Hu's house on Wednesday, and Zhou Hu's house... We've gotten closer in the past two years, so it's fine. Then call the village head and Niu Niu. I think Xiao Chen and that Wu Qi The relationship is good, call the nephew and uncle. This is almost the same."

"Well, just choose a good day, kill the pig, and treat the guests." Zhou Zhigao said.

Liu Ya looked at Xiao Chen with a smile.

It means that when we get married, it becomes a pig-killing day.

Xiao Chen also felt coke and laughed.

Bone broth simmering in a pot, topped with a layer of red pepper.

Zhou Zhigao gave some meat: "Hurry up, I've been busy for a few months, let's see how skinny you two are."

Xiao Chen has indeed lost weight. Although he didn't work in the fields this summer, he has to be busy and has too many things to plan.

And now the older people in the village like to look for him for anything.

He will come whenever he is called, and he will help anyone who can.

Of course he is not the Holy Father, but he is smart and kind.

It's only been a year, and he has integrated into the village and become an important person in the village.

Liu Ya is simply not used to it, living too quickly in one summer, so she lost a little weight.

But both of them are actually normal and thinner, not thin.

It's just that in the eyes of parents, their children will always be unreasonably thin.

Zhou Jing has lost a lot of weight, and now she has a normal girlish body.

But whether you are thin or not, hot pot is really delicious.

There are also more things in the greenhouse, and more vegetables have been planted this year.

Compared with the outside, after a summer of frenzied weeding, the greenhouse finally contained the weeds.

No matter how many you have, people can't help pulling them out every day.

So vegetables grow much better than outside.

After everyone finished eating the hot pot, they cleaned it up and cut a big watermelon.

This is also in the greenhouse.

However, the melons that were supposed to be eaten in July, because there are many weeds, grow slowly, so it is now.

I picked quite a few.

There are many strawberries and various melons grown in the summer.

The best growing is watermelon.

Ma Fen was skillful. After eating the watermelon, the peel was scraped off and it was a cold watermelon rind.

It's delicious, but now everyone is short of vegetables.

If you don't want to scrape it, you can feed it to open-mouthed beasts, from chickens to geese, pigs, cattle, sheep and donkeys, there is nothing you don't like to eat.

Those melons that did not grow well were basically fed to the cows. Cows and donkeys need a lot of water every day, so they should be supplemented.
