Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 176
Moreover, the entire corn cob grows straight and straight, and the corn kernels are full and neatly arranged all the way to the top. Even the topmost corn kernels have the size of normal corn kernels. Corn kernels on the cob are harvested even more.

People use a sickle to cut off the corn stalks and put them in the field to dry. The corn cobs are still on the side of the field, and there are special people to pick them up with baskets or bags, but because the corn cobs are too big, two or three can fit into a basket. It's not worth it to go back and forth just for these three or two corn cobs, but if you don't go back and forth, you can put one more corn cob in the basket, and you can't carry it by yourself. There is no way, Qin Zhiyuan We had no choice but to dispatch the trolleys of the water transport team, and let people use the trolleys to push the corn cobs back and forth to and from the fields.

Although the sun was shining on their heads and the sweat was dripping one after another, the smiles on people's faces could not be stopped. A high pile of grain was built on the open space in front of the cafeteria within one morning, and the rest of the factories The people in the field saw that such corn was harvested in the field, and the size of the corn was a miracle. Thinking of the appearance when the potatoes were harvested, they put down their work excitedly, and went to the field in twos and threes. The cheerful voice of the side, the clearer the singing, and the countless corn cobs thrown on the ground, the people couldn't stop their excitement.

This is a bumper harvest, and it is the first bumper harvest in the past two or three years!In the future, they will no longer have to worry about running out of food. It took three full days to harvest a piece of cornfield, and the tall corn stacks were piled up on the open space of the base. Chatting with a super big corn in his hand, he is happy in his speech and demeanor.

After harvesting corn and sorghum, there are still a small amount of soybeans and mung beans. The soybeans are as big as traditional Chinese medicine balls, and they are full. I heard that the textile factory has also started to harvest cotton. It is said that it is also high-yield. It seems that it will not take long. They will have clothes and quilts made of new cotton.

Father Qiao took out the grinding disc from Taoyuan, and the kitchen began to change the recipes. With soybeans and mung beans, there were many new foods. Some people who used to be able to make bean products joined forces to set up a bean product processing factory. After Qin Zhiyuan, there will be a lot of beans coming out. I heard that they are ready to grind beans to make soy milk and tofu. Qiao's mother loves tofu the most, so she volunteered to help her out, as long as she would give her two pieces of tofu while eating. There is no need for work points, who doesn’t want free labor, Qiao’s mother just entered the soy product processing factory, soaked beans, ground beans, made soy milk, ordered tofu, pressed dry tofu, and put a pot of mung beans to sprout. After this day, people found that the meals at the base had indeed changed, and the dishes were more varied.

Even Qiao Miwei, who can only eat snake soup every day, is allowed to eat a piece of tofu. Steam the white tofu in a pot, chop some shallots, fry some meat sauce, pour it on top, and eat with a chopstick. Faint, strong bean aroma, I ate one piece in a few mouthfuls, but Qiao's mother can only get back four pieces a day, Qiao Miwei can only eat one piece a day to satisfy his hunger, and there will be no more. Qin Zhiyuan can go to the bean product processing factory Buy it with work points, but Qiao Miwei’s high fever has not subsided, try to eat less other food, yes, after several days, Qiao Miwei’s high fever has not subsided, but it is not always burning, just in the It will be repeated every morning and evening, and the degree of fever is not high, but it will never get better after repeated repetitions. It is said that the illness comes like a mountain and goes away like a thread. This is true, Qiao Miwei Although I feel that I am almost fine, but my body is weak and has no strength. I heard that the autumn harvest has begun vigorously outside, and Qin Zhiyuan also brought back a big corn cob for her. Look at that head, if it is tall It must be worth seeing when she got up, she had been lying down for several days, and she was already bored, so she wanted to go out and have a look, but Qin Zhiyuan insisted not to let her go, saying that she was afraid that the sun outside would be too hot and the temperature would be too high, so she The body is too weak to be infected with any virus.

As a result, Qiao Miwei's actions were restricted. In fact, it was not completely restricted. Fortunately, Qin Zhiyuan was not restricted in her activities in Taoyuan, otherwise Qiao Miwei would definitely be suffocated. Every day at noon, after eating After lunch, when the sun is shining, she will go out to shake the rhubarb, and lead the Dahei family to the river to look at the fish ponds and crops. The farmers in Taoyuan are also growing well, although they will not grow like outside Things against the sky, but the high yield is for sure. With the food in the base and the grain in Taoyuan, their base has really had a bumper harvest this year!

And now the number of poultry in Taoyuan is also very considerable. Except for transporting a few poultry outside from time to time, the rest are kept inside. Especially recently, Qiao Mi is slightly ill, and Qiao's mother has nagged many times to give Qiao Mi Wei slaughtered chickens and sheep to make up for his health. He ate snake soup three times a day. Qiao Miwei felt that he was about to grow snake skin. It seemed that he had to try to get something else to eat at night.

Thinking of this, her eyes turned to the lawn not far away. There was a group of leisurely sheep gnawing on the green grass. The lambs born a few days ago were playing among the flocks. They were not too small. All of them were chubby. I heard that winter sheep are the fattest. Thinking of mutton, Qiao Miwei's saliva flooded. He decided to eat mutton tonight!
At this time, Qin Zhiyuan was organizing people to bundle the dried straw in the field into beams and transport them back to the warehouse at the base. These are all firewood for the winter, and everyone passing by the tall corn stacks will feel sincerely. Laughed, in the past two days, many people have approached Qin Zhiyuan to express their desire to continue planting the fourth crop, but Qin Zhiyuan refused, not because he did not want to plant, but because the land in the base has already planted three crops, and the fertility is not enough , It's time to let the fields rest, but the few small plots around the base can be plowed and continue to grow some simple vegetables.

The people who came to make the request were all farmers, they were just stimulated by the good harvest. After listening to Qin Zhiyuan's analysis, they understood the importance of letting the land rest for a while, so they didn't say anything more. Leaders think comprehensively.

Cheng Jianxin, who hadn't shown up for a long time before dinner, found Qin Zhiyuan and told him that the personnel from their Fangcheng base were coming soon, estimated to arrive in the next few days, with nearly 2 people, and hoped that Qin Zhiyuan could make arrangements.

Qin Zhiyuan was caught off guard by this information. To be honest, the current scale of the Wujiacun base is no less than that of Fangcheng. Ten thousand people are still too reluctant, so he took Cheng Jianxin and asked carefully, only to know that although the other party's base has moved here in its entirety, it is different from Li Xin's bare-handed commander. After all, he was not poor and empty, he still had a lot of surplus food in his hands, and since he had surplus food, Qin Zhiyuan felt at ease, otherwise, with the food they harvested this year, they might not be able to support these 5 people!

Not to worry about food, but he is worried about where to live, not to mention the lack of space in the base. Now their base is developing very fast, and the entire area of ​​the village below the mountain has been occupied. Qin Zhiyuan does not plan to move the reclaimed farmland. They are all familiar land, and it is too prodigal to acquire a house, so the space inside the entire Wujia Village is very limited, and if you want to dig out enough space for these people to live in, it will only take longer, and those people will come here soon. He had to turn his attention to the outside of Wujia Village. There are a few other villages nearby. Tuli Village is not too far away. It's much easier than rebuilding. Except for Tuli Village, several villages a little further away can be repaired to accommodate those people.

With these people, the fertile fields outside can be reclaimed. If a crop can be planted before the cold weather, then he will have no burden at all.

Having figured out his joints, Qin Zhiyuan heaved a sigh of relief, and then remembered that it was already past dinner time, and he didn't know if Wei Wei had eaten honestly, so he hurried into Taoyuan, and saw a large circle of people in the living area, he Walking over, seeing the crowd chatting in twos and threes, and seeing him nodding in greeting, Qin Zhiyuan asked strangely, "What are you doing up front?"

"I killed the sheep. I heard that I eat sheep soup at night." Someone quickly replied.

Qin Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, why did he kill the sheep without making a sound?He took a few steps to the front, and before he could see clearly, he asked about the smell of sheep, Qiao's father and Sun Ying were standing in the crowd in front, he walked over and asked, "Dad, brother, why did you suddenly kill the sheep? "

Father Qiao said with a smile, "Wei Wei is greedy, she spent the whole night with your mother and insisted on eating mutton. We waited for you for a long time and didn't see you come back. Daying went to find you and said you met Cheng in the office. As for Jianxin, we will kill ourselves."

"Haha, Wei Wei seems to have eaten enough snake soup, Dad, has she eaten tonight?" Qin Zhiyuan asked.

Sun Ying said with a smile, "If there is sheep soup, can she still eat that? Go and have a look, it's not obedient at all, this sheep hasn't been cooked yet, I don't know how long it will take until I can eat it, first eat the snake The soup will be digested in a while."

Qin Zhiyuan raised his brows when he heard this, "This girl is not obedient at all, wait until I go and see, she dare not eat, she's getting fat." After speaking, he walked away boldly.

Sun Ying glanced back, and then turned his attention to the sheep. He heard Qiao's father chanting, "I'll go to the garden to pick celery and eggplant in a while. You must have one of these two to cook sheep soup."

Sun Ying nodded, "Okay, I'll go pick it later, and I want coriander."

"Yes, pick more, that can remove the smell, don't look like Wei Wei is greedy, she actually can't eat things with smell." Father Qiao said with a smile.
