Scavenging wasteland in the last days: I have fields, cattle and a villa

This place is still a long way from the warm new home I imagined.

After a while, Brother Zhang came, pulling the cabinets that he had already made, as well as some wooden basins, wooden bowls, wooden plates, wooden shelves and the like that he usually made at home.

Except for the cabinets, which had to be exchanged for points, everything else was a personal gift from him to celebrate their move.

The stainless steel cabinet is placed in the kitchen and occupies exactly one wall. It is 1.6 meters high. There are four compartments with a height of 60 centimeters below, which can be used to store rice, flour, oil, etc. There are five compartments on the top, which can usually be used to store dishes, chopsticks and some leftovers.

The key is that it is still locked, so the safety factor is extremely high.

Brother Zhang was proud and happily showed off the cabinets he made.

These days, food is as important as life, so it is the most valuable thing in a home. Therefore, the safety of cabinets is like the safes of Jiang Yuan's era, which are valuable and different from those wooden shelves.

"This is a guy who eats. Please take good care of it from now on."

Brother Zhang patted the cabinet and explained with a serious face.

This kind of custom-made cabinet is not affordable for every household, and the little food in ordinary people's homes is probably not worth the use of this cabinet.

But after Brother Zhang had two meals here, he was sure that they had the strength.

Jiang Yuan nodded solemnly and regarded this cabinet as her own safe. How could she not treasure it?

Then Brother Zhang was gearing up and smiling.

"How's it going? What do you want me to do today?"

Once he's here, he doesn't intend to leave.

He was bound to find a meal in his new home.

"Is there a land reclamation party?"

Jiang Yuan pointed to the wasteland in the backyard. She now relied on this farmland to make a living.

Brother Zhang was asked with questions on his face.

What to do with this wasteland?

He thought about it for a long time.

"You...could it be...that you want to grow vegetables?"

He remembered that this girl had bought some seeds before, and now she was clearing up wasteland? Isn’t that the process of growing vegetables?

But isn't that a joke?

"Girl, I'm afraid you don't know that the outside of the safe zone is not protected by the radiation shield. The survival rate of growing vegetables outside is infinitely close to zero."

How could she be so naive? If food could really be grown in slums, would everyone still have to pick up waste every day? Are you always worried about your last meal or not?

"I know, but aren't we indoors? I want to give it a try."

Oh, you are so naive, what use can a few boards do?

Brother Zhang wanted to persuade him not to do such useless work.

But they found that the whole family had gone to work with their own tools. Lin Xiao was the first to bear the brunt and went to open up wasteland with a hoe.

Are you crazy?

But everyone is moving, can he not move? I worked hard for lunch.

Jiang Yuan worked for more than an hour and was exhausted. Moreover, comparing the results of her labor with that of several other men, it was too humiliating.

So just go ahead and sow the seeds.

Jiang Yuan's nearly one-acre open space is divided into many grid blocks to facilitate daily management.

Near the edge of the stone mountain, she buried a hundred grams of pumpkin seeds, about ten of them. The remaining one hundred grams were kept temporarily because it was the first time to experiment with seeds in space, and she didn't know if it would work. .

Then there were five seeds of cabbage, radish, lettuce, eggplant and so on.

The rest were the perilla seeds that had been collected in the mountains and sorted by Lin Ran's brother and sister.

The Polygonum multiflorum seedlings she found before have been planted in the old house, and there are other varieties. She does not plan to move them up and continue to plant them in the old house. But for the chayote, the area of ​​​​the old house is too small for them to flourish, so they have to be planted again. Transplant it.

Jiang Yuan was making plans while planting seeds.

After burying all the perilla seeds, she went into the kitchen and started cooking.

A new house also requires firewood for cooking. As soon as the big iron pot is put on the stove, she rolls up her sleeves and gets ready to cook.

The fresh cucumbers picked from the old house this morning weighed twenty pounds each, which was enough for a cold dish.

If it were originally, she would just use the existing ingredients, just mix onion, ginger, garlic, salt, soy sauce, etc. It would be delicious anyway, but now she is from a supermarket.

Can cucumber salad be made without lemon? Jiang Yuan secretly purchased one from the space and put it in the cold dish. The faint scent of lemon made the greedy person drool, and she couldn't help but taste a piece.

Then I cleaned the new wooden basin brought by Brother Zhang and filled it firmly.

On such a hot day, cold cucumber is the most delicious meal.

It's just that except for her, we are all men, how can we not eat meat?

Fresh meat is hard to come by, and now we only have bacon and dried meat in oil drums.

A plate of minced pork with green and red peppers, a plate of fried bacon with lettuce, and then a pot of cabbage soup that has never changed for thousands of years.

"dinner time."

After Jiang Yuan was done, she stood at the door and shouted.

The group of men immediately dropped their tools and rushed over at a trot, their eyes shining with excitement.

What I look forward to most every day is eating.

Not only is it filling, but it’s also delicious.

The result was similar to Jiang Yuan's expectation. The cucumbers were eaten the fastest, and even the sauce was divided among everyone to eat with rice.

There are twenty kilograms of cucumbers. This way of eating is really scary.

Jiang Yuan couldn't imagine that if she hadn't grown her own vegetables, or if she hadn't been so lucky and could pick medicinal materials to sell at any time, who could have lived like this?

Brother Zhang squinted his eyes. After eating and drinking enough, he was really too lazy to move anymore.

"Girl, the furniture you want requires a lot of wood. You see, I will continue to come to your house to do work in the past few days and make wardrobes and lockers for you. Do you care whether I make a living or not?"

What should I do if he falls in love with the food here?

But Brother Zhang can't be shameless.

It would be best if the girl said that her family wanted to hire long-term workers, then she would have no choice but to do so.

"Of course it's no problem, and I still have to trouble Brother Zhang with some things. I need some agricultural film. Can you ask Brother Zhang's son to bring me some from the safe area?"

She will plant corn later. Covering the corn with film will keep it moisturized and have a higher survival rate, which will also help it thrive.

"It's not a big problem. I'll send him a message later. If you have anything else to bring, just tell him."

The items exchanged in the exchange are usually food, and agricultural tools are not available at all, because the poor do not need them.

"Can I bring a sponge?"

Lin Xiao suddenly spoke from the side.

Jiang Yuan was a little confused, what did she need that thing for?

"I'll have to trouble Brother Zhang to make a sofa for the living room later. If I can bring it, I'll transport it by car. We'll pay the fare and bring back three spring mattresses."

Sofas, beds, these are household necessities.

"What about the refrigerator?"

Jiang Yuan saw that Lin Xiao had already considered this, so she spoke enthusiastically.

In the scorching sun, what she wanted most was a refrigerator, which could not only store food but also make ice.

Brother Zhang wanted to interrupt several times, but he didn't.
