The days when I am farming in the last days

Chapter 47 Iron Pot Potato Rice

Qin Yu drove the Tang family's agricultural tricycle.

He knows how to drive, and this kind of car is not difficult to learn. In the village, housewives often drive tricycles on rampage. Anyway, the more you practice, the more you will get used to it.

It only takes about half an hour to drive from the village where the Tang family lives to the county seat. Even if the tricycle is slower, it will not take much time.So in the second half of the afternoon, when Tang Han was thinking about what to have for lunch, he came back.

Qin Yu parked the car directly in front of his uncle's house and didn't let them pass, so the Tang family all climbed onto the roof and shouted at him from a few meters away.

He looked in good spirits and seemed to have good news.

Sure enough, as soon as Qin Yu opened his mouth, he said, "The situation in the county is better than we thought! The situation has basically stabilized, but now there are too many infected people, and the treatment can't keep up. All the energy is put on sheltering and relocating cases. Management is still strict.”

"Then you didn't enter the city?" Tang Han asked.

Qin Yu shook her head and said, "But I talked with the traffic police who closed the road, and the situation is good now. The main reason for the road closure is that there are still cases going outside. I heard that in a few months, the production capacity will catch up. Nucleic acid testing will be popularized across the country, and then it will gradually open up.”

It is understandable for everyone to say "gradually open up".

With a population of 14 billion in China, it is impossible for everyone to be tested in a short period of time.Therefore, it can only be gradually opened in a restricted manner.But as long as it is opened, it means that all walks of life will gradually recover, which is exciting news for everyone.

Although this epidemic is coming fiercely and seems unstoppable, it is still blocked after all.

There is no need to mention what was paid in the middle, but right now, everything is hopeful.Just wait a few more months...

Tang's mother was concerned about her eldest daughter, so she hurriedly asked, "Then are you on the phone?"

"I've been beaten, I've been beaten." Otherwise, why did Qin Yu look so happy, "Everything is fine at my house. It was said that a relative was infected, but the quarantine was timely and the infection did not continue. Now everyone He has been discharged from the hospital, and although we will observe whether there is a recurrence in the follow-up, the situation is not bad."

As for food storage and the like, if the family has money, of course there is no need to worry.

The only regret is that the dishes I bought are not as rich as usual, and the quantity is also small.As for the fruit, you haven't seen fruit for a long time.

Then he talked about Tang Ma's most concerned issue, "I also called Tang Feng. She is in Beijing, and the situation is better than that of the provincial capital. Now all the supplies are rationed and can be received every day. Moreover, there are milk and eggs, and the nutrition is quite balanced.”

In fact, Tang Feng thought he was a liar when he called him at first.Fortunately, I still remember a few guests who came to the house, but I didn't expect that they still haven't left yet.But after hearing Qin Yu say that they are helping the Tang family to cultivate land, they feel that the situation is not bad.

Farming in the village is not actually managed by each family. In the past, several families made arrangements to exchange jobs with each other.

For example, to grow potatoes, it may take about a week to plant on your own land, and it is also very troublesome to carry tools back and forth.Invite a few families together, and each family contributes a few strong laborers, and you can plant almost the same amount in one day, and just make up for the rest when you have time.

Although it still takes a few days to be busy, it is more efficient and lively when you are busy. Everyone talks and laughs, so you don't feel so tired.

In the past two years, life has become better and better, and many people simply stopped farming.When you are short of money, there is nothing wrong with helping people in the village who need to farm for a few days and getting paid by the day.

As a result, when the epidemic came, although it did not spread to the village, the interpersonal communication still weakened a lot, and this situation almost disappeared.

In particular, the Tang family also took in a few visitors from other places, which was even more taboo.

There were a few young people helping out at home, and Tang Feng didn't have to worry about his parents getting tired, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

In short, although they are scattered in various places, everyone is in a good situation, and they are all waiting with hope for the day when the lockdown will be lifted.

After hearing what he said, Tang's mother immediately relaxed, "It's good that you're okay, Xiao Qin, you've worked hard, are you hungry? I'll give you a bowl of noodles to fill your stomach first, and you can have dinner in a while."

Qin Yu didn't refuse, and Tang's father and Tang's mother went downstairs.

Tang Han and Jiang Dai glanced at each other. They had different concerns from Tang's parents and Tang's mother, so they could naturally tell that Qin Yu was reporting good news rather than bad news.Of course, this worry doesn't seem to have much to do with them at the moment, which is why he didn't say much.

Seeing Ozawa squatting on the edge of the roof, looking at Dad eagerly, they didn't ask directly, leaving time for the father and son to exchange feelings.

But I didn't dare to leave. The upstairs was simply protected, without fences or anything. It was impossible to let Ozawa's child stay alone on the roof, and someone had to watch.

Tang Ma planted two pots of green onions in discarded pots and put them on the roof of the building.Probably because the nutrients in the soil were almost absorbed, the onions in the two pots were underdeveloped, short and thin, and looked wilted.

Tang Han squatted in front of the pot and looked at it for a while, but finally couldn't hold back, and pulled out the soil and green onions together, ready to turn the soil over, apply some fertilizer, and then replant the remaining shallots.

There was some messy construction waste piled up on the roof, Tang Han picked up a brick at random, and smashed the hardened soil into pieces.Seeing this, Jiang Dai squatted down to help, the two chatted and laughed, crushed the soil as if they were playing a game, and put it back in the pot. Tang Han went to ask Tang Ma for some fertilizer, and sprinkled it with water. in the dirt.

When he planted the shallots back, Tang Han took a look and felt that although the onions were malnourished, there were not enough plants, so he divided most of them, leaving only a small plant to plant back.

——This kind of onion is called “fen onion” locally. Its growth method is to continuously separate new ones from old plants. When the plant grows to a certain extent, it will not continue to divide. Therefore, when we usually pull onions, we also choose large plants. Cut out in half so it continues to grow.

After planting, Tang Han sorted out the remaining green onions, removed the dead parts, and kept them for dinner.

It happened that Qin Yu and Ozawa had also finished exchanging feelings (mainly Qin Yu's land cession and compensation, and agreed to certain conditions), so they asked about the actual situation.

This time Qin Yu didn't hide it, because the situation was really not good.It seems that everything is still under control at present, but the city is not the same as the countryside, and there is no way to be self-sufficient.Those who have savings and food at home are better off, but the working class who earn as much as they spend every month are more uncomfortable.Not to mention that there are those at the bottom who do odd jobs every day to earn money for food. If there is no job for a day, the family will not be able to get rid of it.

Of course, the government is currently subsidizing it, but even though there is a lot of food in storage, it cannot withstand such use.

So now there is a shortage of food everywhere. Although the current situation looks good, no one knows when it will collapse.

Now we are all counting on the unblocking in a few months, but there are still some people who can't wait until then.

"Do you want to transport food to the city?" Jiang Dai asked after hearing him finish.

Qin Yu nodded, "Tang Han didn't exaggerate before. I see that every household in the village has a lot of food in stock. It's this time of the year, and new food will come down in a few months. The rest will definitely not be edible. If it is lost, it is better to send it to the city, whether it is donated or sold, it will not do any harm to the village.”

This kind of opportunity to brush your face is not available all the time.

Moreover, this time the food delivery has opened up a way,

Then the peaches in my uncle’s orchard are good, the various vegetables, beans, and potatoes that will be harvested in the future, and even the new corn that will mature in the field in a few months, and the rice in the field will all find a market in the future.

Tang's mother decided to plant more land this year, but she just wanted to send the extra to the city, sell it if she could, and sell half of it, which means she didn't do anything for nothing this year. If she couldn't sell it, she would support the country.

There is no doubt that now is the most difficult time.It seems that hope is ahead, but this last darkness before dawn requires everyone to carry it together.

"That's not only our village, but several surrounding villages can be mobilized." Tang Han added.In fact, not every family in the village has so much grain stored, and some people don’t have the habit of keeping so much grain at home, but no matter how a village can find a dozen or twenty households, the sum is not a small number.

These surrounding villages belong to the same administrative village, so we should discuss it with the village committee, and it should be no problem to advance and retreat together.

"There is no need to worry about this matter, and you won't be in a hurry for a while." Finally, Jiang Dai said, "You should rest first, don't you have to be quarantined for a few days? Then discuss it slowly."

When he came down from the stairs, Tang Han couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Sure enough, not everyone can grasp the opportunity."

Everyone knows that there is food in the village, and anyone can guess the lack of food in the city, but Qin Yu is the only one who thinks of transporting food to the city and is willing to take risks.No wonder he was the big boss before the epidemic, and his business was booming.

This matter seems to be thankless, but if this matter is really done, when everything is restored, the title of a national entrepreneur will be indispensable, and it will be much more convenient to start a business in the future.

Jiang Dai just laughed, "Then our family will be ruined too."

Tang Han couldn't help but glanced at her.This "our family" is very easy to say.

Will Jiang Dai really stay in this small village all her life?

This doubt flashed in his mind, Tang Han forced himself not to pursue it, sent the noodles to Qin Yu, and began to prepare dinner. ——Now that there is no electricity, dinner has to be made before dark, so the preparation time is naturally brought forward.

Eating in the village also follows the seasons, and you can eat whatever you have.

The new potatoes are here. According to the Tang family's practice, we will make potato rice once.This should be done in a large stove, and it tastes better when it is burned with firewood.

Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces, stir-fry them in an oil pan until they are raw, then spread the potatoes on the bottom of the pan, spread the washed rice on the potatoes, then add water to slightly cover the rice, simmer for 10 minutes on high heat, and then Add more firewood, let the fire in the stove gradually decrease, and finally burn until only charcoal remains, and simmer for another half an hour with the remaining temperature, and the potato rice can be cooked.

If there is leftover rice, stew the potatoes first, then pour in the leftover rice when the fire is almost over, and heat with the remaining temperature.

After mastering the heat, the potato rice stewed in this way, the potatoes at the bottom are fried golden, the rice grains on the top are distinct, and the aroma of potatoes is infiltrated.Just order any dish, the taste will not be bad.Even if you eat it directly, there are no other disadvantages except that it is a bit dry and easy to choke.

Today's side dish is vegetarian beans. Choose a section of beans and boil them in water for 10 minutes. The beans inside are soft.

Add chili, Chinese prickly ash, soy sauce and vinegar to make a seasoning plate, roll the beans in a circle, it is fragrant and spicy, and it also has the unique refreshingness of vegetarian dishes, which is very suitable for rice.After eating, have another bowl of slightly sweet bean soup to relieve the heat.

Except for Tang's father complaining that the dinner was too vegetarian and not oily, and Qin Yu could only eat a single-serve quarantine set meal, everything was perfect.

Tang Han picked out the potatoes with crispy crusts from the rice one by one. Hearing Dad Tang's complaint, he said, "Then you will cook a pig's foot tomorrow, it will be oily and watery. It's been half a year, and the bacon hasn't been cooked yet." Eat as much as you want, and eat as soon as there is a lot of work in the summer field. Just as new potatoes have come down, I use potatoes to stew."

The softly stewed potatoes soaked up the oil juice, and melted with a slight sip in the mouth. The taste... slurp.

The author has something to say: the plot of the business war (?) going out to sell things will not be detailed, and the protagonists still continue to farm and cook in the village.

However, although the copywriting has been written for a three-year "quarantine period", after the first year, it will be unsealed and opened one after another, so this article should also be written in detail for the first year, and it will be over after an explanation.
