After the Earthquake of Rebirth

Chinese New Year means that more than half of the busy winter has passed, and spring sowing will be ready in just over a month.

Unlike last year when it happened to be the coldest time, this year's New Year's Eve is in mid-February, and the temperature outside has begun to warm up.

After experiencing a severe winter of blizzard, the strong adaptability of human beings is highlighted.Compared with last winter when the mountain was closed, this year, except during the snowstorm, the broadcast requires everyone to stay outside the cave. At other times, even if the road is covered with thick snow, there are still many people walking outside.

After Du Cheng and Hu Zi came back from He Junna, and until the New Year's Eve, there were more than ten consecutive days of sunny days. They sent away the last batch of sauces before the year as they had agreed before, and the four of them went down the mountain together the next day.

Maybe it was to make it easier for the soldiers in each garrison to go to the mountain every now and then, or maybe it was to be ready to deal with emergencies at any time. The snow was often cleared from the roads outside the safe zone to the various garrisons, which made it easier for Ning Qiyan and the others to drive to find He Jun. .

The last time Du Cheng and Huzi drove out in their own car, this time they had to release the pig from the space on the way, but Ning Qiyan's car couldn't fit it at all, so they rented a pickup truck.

The back compartment of the pickup truck was sealed, Hu Zi drove in front, and stopped on the side of the road halfway, Ning Qiyan got out of the car and got into the back compartment, and let out the two pigs he had chosen before.There is no space outside, even the temperature in the sealed compartment is ten or twenty degrees below zero, Ning Qiyan looked at the two pigs that were still shriveling from the cold even though they were covered with thick hay, he didn't dare to waste time, and closed the rear compartment He got into the car as soon as he opened the door, and urged Hu Zi to rush to He Junna as soon as possible.

If the two pigs froze to death halfway, the pig blood would coagulate, not only would not be much blood released, but the taste of the pork would also be affected.Although it is good to eat some, but it is best to give He Jun live pigs if you can trade live pigs.

On He Jun's side, ever since Du Cheng said that there were pigs last time, he had prepared a place early, and no matter when Du Cheng brought the pigs, he could place them directly.

If he can keep them alive, he still hopes to keep the pigs until New Year's Eve before killing them, and make them the main dish of the New Year's Eve dinner at the seventh station.

After Ning Qiyan and the others arrived, He Jun looked at the two shivering pigs in the rear compartment, and was extremely pleasantly surprised. In his prediction, it would be nice if Ning Qiyan could give them one pig, but he didn't expect that there would be an extra pig.

In an instant, He Jun had an idea of ​​where the two pigs were going.

If there was only one pig, he would try his best to be scolded as an iron rooster by the group of logistics in other stations throughout the next year, and he would protect the whole pig and leave it to the soldiers in his own station.

But at both ends, he can be more generous and share resources!Take out one end, put it on the bright side, and share one point. Although each resident can certainly not get much, but no matter how little it is, it is still pork!Just like what Huzi said last time, it’s good to eat something, don’t want too little!They can't even eat enough by themselves!

As for the other end, it must be hidden and left for the resident.

He Jun called the surrounding soldiers to carry the two pigs into the warehouse prepared in advance. This warehouse is next to the cafeteria, and the temperature is much higher than other warehouses, which can at least ensure that the pigs will not freeze to death temporarily.

After entering the warehouse, He Juncai asked someone to come and weigh the pigs.

One head weighs 230 Jin, and the other weighs 260 Jin.It is rare to be able to raise pigs so fat these days.

Seventy credits for a catty of pigs, Ning Qiyan quoted directly, and He Jun happily transferred the money on the spot.After wiping away the change, I got [-] credits in the blink of an eye.

As the general manager of the logistics of the seventh garrison, He Jun has a limited expenditure limit. Even if credit points are now used instead of coins, and the army has the authority to issue credit points within a certain amount, it is impossible to really not care about the more than 3 credit points.Fortunately, in Ning Qiyan's space, besides the two boars for mating, there are six boars that can be slaughtered. Considering that the more credit points needed to contract the land next year, the better, so Ning Qiyan decided to take out two Traded to He Jun.It was only by mistake that He Jun had room to maneuver in terms of spending credits.Except for the pig that He Jun planned to leave for his own garrison, the other pig would definitely not be distributed to other troops in vain. When the price of pork is raised, they can share the price of their own pig even less.As for the other residences, it would be good if each family could get a few catties of pork, even if it was a hundred and one catty, it wouldn't cost much credit.

After trading the two pigs, Ning Qiyan and Du Cheng rushed back. Although they delayed the delivery time of the order during the Chinese New Year and could rest for a few days, the ducks that were nestling in the space counted their days and it was about the same. In the past few days, they had to rush back to the cave and enter the space to guard the ducklings breaking their shells.

Returning to the safe area and returning the rented truck, Du Cheng and Hu Zi each carried a box, while Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen supported each other and walked up the mountain on the thick snow.

The box carried by Du Cheng and Huzi contained the pig they killed in the space a few days ago, just taking advantage of this opportunity to go down the mountain, it was assumed that it was bought from the mountain.Anyway, Dong Wen'an and the others know that Ning Qiyan's family has livestock connections, so they don't have to wait for the land to be exposed before revealing the things, and they will give everyone a toothpaste in advance, otherwise the relationship with each other is so good, and Ning Qiyan and the others will enjoy themselves in the space. , Although there is no big fish and meat, but there is no shortage of oil and water, but Bai Chengyi and the others are still gnawing sweet potatoes, even reluctant to kill a chicken, they can't bear it in their hearts.

After struggling to climb to the top of the mountain, Ning Qiyan and the others didn't go home, and knocked on the door of Wang Yang's house with their things.It happened that Bai Chengyi and the others were also there.

Not to mention Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen who were exhausted from climbing the mountain with bare hands, and even Du Cheng and Huzi, who had always been physically strong, almost collapsed on the ground after putting down the box.

Climbing the mountain was no problem, and it was no problem for each person to carry more than 100 kilograms of things. But when they climbed the mountain with so many things, they still walked on a snow field that was nearly one meter deep. Even Du Cheng and Huzi couldn't carry it.

"Damn it! Please take care of me~~" Wang Yang leaned next to the box, and when he opened the box, he saw the fat and thin pork inside, his saliva was almost drooling, and even his words trembled.

Listening to Wang Yang's shameless words, Bai Chengyi and Zhang Wei, who supported Du Cheng and Huzi to sit on the kang, also ran over curiously to see what could make Wang Yang's trembling voice arouse everyone's goosebumps.

The others couldn't help but look over, it didn't matter if they saw it, even Yang Yu, who was the thinnest-skinned, looked at Ning Qiyan with a look of resignation.

Ning Qiyan waved his hands feebly, "Whoever you like, take it yourself, it's a New Year's gift."

The others looked at each other and were not polite. They opened the two boxes and took out the meat while studying which part of the pig this piece of meat was and how to eat it.

With this whole pig's New Year's goods, there is no shortage of eggs and duck eggs, and the vegetables include potatoes and a small row of malnourished radishes that Zhang Pingguo had planted on the edge of the field before.

After the Spring Festival, the peppers on the platform were almost ripe, Ning Qiyan and the others took back all the peppers and prepared to plant tomatoes instead.However, there were not enough tomato seeds, including the ones that Ning Qiyan bought back before the earthquake, and the seeds that were specially saved when planting in the space later, they could barely fill the whole platform greenhouse, but these seeds could not all survive, So Ning Qiyan went to the redemption point to exchange some seeds and came back.

Seeds of other crops such as tomatoes are expensive compared to corn, a well-growth and government-promoted crop.On the one hand, the survival rate due to environmental impact is low. On the other hand, the D city government still hopes that citizens will plant a large number of crops that are easy to survive and have high yields. This can not only guarantee daily food, but also increase the government's inventory, and make a contribution to the supply of food during the reconstruction period. Base.

However, no matter how high the price of the seeds is, there is still a huge profit margin if they are made into tomato sauce and sold, so Ning Qiyan and the others did not change their plan. After buying enough seeds for replanting, the tomatoes were officially planted.

In addition to planting and harvesting, there is also the time for fertilization in the middle. At other times, you only need to visit the platform from time to time to ensure that the earthen stove for heating the greenhouse is always burning coal, and then water according to the growth situation, and pull the weeds. .

Because it became easier and easier to make, and a batch of sauce jars were sent to the redemption point, the original plan was to run out of soybeans early in April, so at the beginning of March, the ice and snow on the mountain had not yet melted, Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen began to prepare vinegar.

The method of brewing vinegar is purely based on the method Ning Qiyan downloaded before. Ning Xiaowen gradually mastered it after repeated experiments several times. No matter if it is soy sauce or vinegar, no one will make it by themselves. The price bought from outside is cheap. After a year, you can spend up to tens of dollars on all the seasonings, which is much more convenient than making it yourself.

The earliest vinegar koji, Ning Xiaowen, was made five times before it was made. When the vinegar koji was finished, the vinegar was more than half finished.The method Ning Xiaowen chose to make vinegar uses sorghum as the main raw material. There are many other methods, but it is useless if the raw materials are not available.

Because of the large amount of sorghum needed, Ning Qiyan and the others did not exchange it from the redemption point, but directly contacted the staff of the redemption point that signed the contract with their family.The price is still the same as the price at the redemption point, but it can be moved up by the staff when they go up the mountain to pick up the finished product ordered by Ning Qiyan's family, saving my family from moving up and down the mountain.

The quantity of the first batch of sorghum was determined with the people at the redemption point, and the government's reconstruction notice was announced before the sorghum was delivered to the mountain.

When Ning Qiyan and the others heard the news, they put down their work and gathered at the water station with others to watch the newly posted announcement.

Plans are not changing fast.

Listening to the people in the back of the crowd reading the entire announcement word by word, Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen behind the crowd looked at each other.

Come on, don't think about being jealous, go back and sum up the content of the announcement first!

The two families of Wang Yang and Bai Chengyi were also there, and the three simply gathered at Wang Yang's house to study together.
