The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Making fire in the earthen stove has long been a commonplace for children.

They divided the work and cooperated, Xu Dong cooked the fire, Xu Xi washed the rice, Xu Yin was strong and was responsible for chopping the goose meat, and Ning Jin was good at cooking and was responsible for frying.

Xu Yin ran to the dean's mother's room, took a thin bamboo pole and hooked a bamboo basket from the high beam, which contained dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and garlic.It was originally used to smoke out insects and prevent mold, but now it is just used as a condiment.

Xiao Hu was amazed when he saw it: "When you left, you actually left some rice behind? This rice still looks very new. Where are you hiding it? Isn't it flooded?"

"We put the rice in bags and hung it on the beams. This is what the dean's mother used to do because she was worried about being eaten by rats."

"There are still a few potatoes here, but they haven't sprouted yet."

Xu Yin hooked a small basket from the beam of the storage room at the back. In it lay a few small potatoes with dried soil on the surface. They looked a little shriveled, but miraculously they had not sprouted.

"You can eat it without sprouting." Xiao Hu said, "Goose meat stewed with potatoes is so delicious!"

Xu Yin smiled, took out the potatoes, washed them, and peeled off the skin to reveal the light yellow flesh. They looked very good.

Xiao Hu squatted at the mouth of the well, watching her neatly pressing the water to wash the potatoes, and asked curiously: "Is there a lot of water in the well? Over there at the old base, the water flow pumped up by the water circulation system is so thin that even taking a bath is suffocating. Yes, water is not as convenient as yours."

"There should be a lot." Xu Yin lifted the stone slab covering the wellhead and showed him, "The water level is quite high now, right?"

"It's quite high. If water is inconvenient back at the camp, can I come up here to fetch water?"

"Okay." Xu Yin thought for a while and said, "You can also connect a tube to drain the blood."

If someone always comes to use water, will it be easier for her to enter and exit the bunker in the future?
Xiao Hu did not doubt that he was there and agreed: "I'll ask the professor when I get back. It's not that troublesome to connect a pipe. It would be great if it can solve the water problem."

When the goose meat is almost cooked, Xu Yin puts the washed and diced potatoes in and stews it.

There were two burners on the earthen stove, and two pots were set up, one to stew goose meat, and the other to simmer rice. After a while, I smelled the long-lost aroma of iron pot cooking.

This is a scent you will never smell in the dungeon.

Xu Yin likes to eat rice crispy rice cooked in an iron pot the most. It is brown and fragrant and crunchy when you take a bite.

When Xiao Hu came out to look for them, although he had already eaten, he saw the red-colored, spicy goose meat and potatoes stewed with a bowl of white rice that smelled very fragrant. He swallowed his saliva, as if he was hungry again. .

The four children had been busy for most of the day and were already hungry. They picked up their rice bowls and ate with their heads down. While eating, they persuaded Xiao Hu: "Brother Hu, you can eat it. We left a portion for the professor. We won't say that you are eating alone." of."

"..." I thank you!

After eating and drinking enough, the whole family wiped their mouths and sighed with satisfaction: "You are so full!"

After saying that, they all laughed.

If others heard this, they would probably want to put a sack on them.

Because Xiao Hu was here, the four children did not stay any longer. They cleaned up the kitchen, dug out the supplies hidden in every corner, and put them together. There were a small handful of dried chili peppers, a small pinch of Sichuan peppercorns, a few shriveled garlic heads, and a small handful of shriveled garlic. A bundle of dried beans, a bag of dried corn kernels, a dozen potatoes, and a jar of smelly pickles.

Half of the potatoes have sprouted. I will try again to see if they can be grown in high-temperature soil.

They didn't hide the smelly pickles. The dean's mother probably picked them up in a cool place at the back of the woodshed, which was covered with wooden boards and an oilcloth.At that time, the water flooded only up to the waist of the jar, and then it was covered with ice and snow. When I was cleaning it, I thought it was an abandoned broken water jar, but I didn't look carefully. When I discovered it now, it really smelled!

Xu Xi pinched her nose and said, "It smells so bad! The pickles made by the dean's mother before didn't stink. If they are so smelly, they must have gone rancid and cannot be eaten."

Xu Dong: "Then let's carry it out and throw it away together!"

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Hu said, "Is this smell the same as stinky mandarin fish or stinky tofu? Remove the foam on the surface, and what's underneath is actually fermented vegetable brine. I'll take some vegetable brine back and test it. Maybe we can still eat it, but we can’t waste it!”

"..."

The four children took a step back together: "Brother Hu, come on then!"

"..."

In the end, the simple Xiao Hu took over everything.When he returned to the camp carrying a pot of stinky vegetable stew that could be smelled just three meters away from him, his colleagues all shunned him:
"Fuck! Hu Tianyu, did you fall into the manure tank?"

"..."

Professor Liu couldn't stand the smell either: "Xiao Hu, stay away from me."

Xiao Hu: "..."

He picked up the vegetable marinade bottle and hummed: "Don't be greedy when I fry the stinky tofu!"

Xu Dong took a step forward upon hearing this: "Brother Hu, let me help you carry the bottle."

"..."

This snack!
"Professor, we brought this for you. The weather is hot. Eat it quickly! If you don't eat it, it will go bad!"

Xu Yin pulled Professor Liu aside and quietly handed him a very clean aluminum lunch box, which was hot in her hands.

"What delicious food did you get? Is there anything to eat outside now?"

When he opened it, he saw that it was a delicious potato and goose meat rice bowl. He opened his mouth and said, "Meat? Where did you get it? Isn't it rotten meat that has been dead for a long time? You will get sick from eating this! You have all eaten it. ? Ouch, Lao Zheng! Lao Zheng!"

Before Xu Yin had time to explain, Professor Liu called Dr. Zheng who was with the team.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Professor, you can't blame me for this. You called the people here yourself."

She explained the origin of the goose, potatoes and rice, and Professor Liu covered the lunch box protectively: "Old Zheng, go back!"

Dr. Zheng burst out laughing: "I won't go back! You asked me to come here, and you have a share in seeing me!"

"..."

Two little old men who had been friends for decades almost fell out over a box of goose rice bowl.

At the end of the day, each person had half a box, and they were still satisfied with their meal.

Professor Liu whispered to Xu Yin: "Next time there is such a good thing, tell me first."

Xu Yin: "..."

My heart says, didn’t I just secretly drag you to a corner to eat?Who called Dr. Zheng here in such a loud voice?

Professor Liu knew he was in the wrong and smiled: "Let's have a meeting!"

After everyone arrived, he held a meeting for everyone and assigned everyone their work tasks.

Xu Yin's four children are mainly responsible for daily reclamation and sowing. They all follow Professor Liu's instructions on how to plant and what to plant.

After the rest days are fixed, we will work seven days and five days a week, with one day of flexible rest and one day of fixed rest.

Xu Yin's four children looked at each other in a look that only they could understand - on fixed rest days, they could go to the bunker to play.

Professor Liu was initially worried that Xu Yin's children might not adapt well. They had been clamoring to come up to breathe fresh air, but after arriving, they might not be able to stay for a few days before crying and wanting to go back.

He had even made arrangements in this regard - if the four children could not hold on and returned to Central City midway, who would take over their work.

Unexpectedly, the four children did not adapt very well. They were very active every day. Going to work was like going on an outing to play, and they were full of energy.

On the contrary, other members of his team had symptoms of acclimatization or heat stroke of varying severity, some had fever, some had diarrhea, some were weak and had loss of appetite...

Professor Liu himself also suffered from chest tightness and discomfort for several days. He drank the heat-relieving tea prepared by Xu Yin and got better.
