Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland
Chapter 15 Leeks
The four of them ate seven pieces of fish and one chicken, at least twenty catties of meat.
After eating, the four of them sat lazily in place, not wanting to move while the wind was blowing.
The four sat in the shade, the wind was a little cool.
Xia Lunong just had a full meal, and the blood rushed to her stomach, her head became drowsy little by little, and she hugged her arms tightly and rubbed against his brother.
His brother looked down at him, took off his coat and wrapped it around him.
He lowered his head and sniffed lightly. There was his gothic fragrance in his clothes, which made him feel extremely at ease.
He grabbed his clothes and asked, "Brother, are you not cold?"
"It's not cold, sleep with you." His brother touched his forehead with his warm hand and asked, "Do you want to sleep on my lap?"
Xia Lunong was so sleepy that he nodded subconsciously, moved his buttocks down, lay down and pillowed on his brother's lap, the movements were extremely natural.
Yan Xiannian turned his head to look at their brothers, his eyes were a little strange, but he didn't react, he tore off his clothes and fell into a dream happily.
Before falling asleep, Xia Lunong vaguely heard Yan Xinian say: "The wind is so cold, you still say it's not cold, wear mine."
While talking, another piece of warm clothes hung down on his arm, presumably it was the old brother's clothes.
He didn't hear what his brother said, so he subconsciously pulled off his clothes again, covered half of them on his brother, and then fell asleep in peace.
Xia Lunong only slept for a while, he was not at ease sleeping outside.
After waking up, he looked around, his brother was still there, but Yan Xiannian and Liao Cheng were gone.
He rubbed his dizzy forehead, "Where did the old brothers go?"
"They said they went around the neighborhood." Xia Huoqu handed over the water bottle, "Drink some water."
Xia Lunong took it and drank it, "Brother, shall we go back today?"
"Stay here for one night and come back tomorrow." Xia Huo channeled, "There are more prey at night, see if you can catch anything."
Xia Lunong's heart beat faster, feeling a little irritated, "We still go out at night."
"Without you, I will go with the past years."
"Ah?" Xia Lunong's high enthusiasm shrank like a punctured balloon, "I stay here with Brother Liao Cheng?"
Xia Huoqu: "We won't be able to stay long when we go out. Are you awake? I'll take you around this small mountain village."
Xia Lunong stood up with legs that were limp from sleep, and shook her head, "Didn't you finish shopping in the morning?"
"It was just a rough search in the morning. More than one wave of people have visited this small village. Didn't we find so many things?"
This is also true, Xia Lunong cheered up, put on his backpack, and followed behind his brother.
The two wandered around the village and found that there were many vegetable fields beside the ruins, most of which were scattered here and there, not in a large scale.
Most of the vegetables are also submerged in the grass, and they grow very thin, and the leaves are almost eaten by insects.
The two wandered around for a long time, found a handful of garlic, dug some mother-in-law and wild wheat.
Several places on Xia Lunong's body were cut by grass blades, and the sweat was profuse, and it hurt and itched.
He scratched, but didn't say anything, but this movement, his flushed face and neck lined with sweat revealed his discomfort,
Xia Huoqu looked at the sky, "Go back first, your old brothers should be back."
"Don't go shopping anymore." Xia Lunong scratched her neck again, and waved her hand to drive away the buzzing insects, "I remember there are several houses with vegetable gardens ahead."
When he was searching for supplies in the ruins in the morning, it wasn't that he didn't observe the surrounding situation at all. He could still tell which ones were wasteland and which ones were vegetable gardens.
Xia Huoqu agreed, "Let's go."
Xia Lu Nong tightened her backpack, leaning on the bamboo in her hand and continued to move forward.
They had to knock on the weeds in front of them all the way, so as not to accidentally bump into some powerful snakes and insects.
This small mountain village has been deserted for a long time, and the vegetable garden has been abandoned for a long time. Even if I find some vegetables by chance, there are not many edible parts.
They didn't go long, and they found a small piece of carrot in the vegetable garden.
The leaves of the carrot looked very lush and were not damaged by insects, but when I pulled it up, the carrots on the bottom were similar to a human thumb, short and thin, with many small roots.
Xia Lunong couldn't hide her disappointment, and said pantingly, "Seeing how the leaves are so big, why are they so small?"
"Nobody topdresses the carrots, so naturally they won't grow large carrots." Xia Huo channeled, "Pull out first, and if you pull out a little more, you can make a dish."
Xia Lunong nodded, bent down and continued to pull out the radish with all her strength.
The two of them were busy for a while, pulled out all the carrots in a small field, and slowly saved up a small half bag of carrots exuding a unique smell.
Xia Lunong felt better again.
Seeing him, Xia Huoqu was downcast for a while, and smiled for a while, and there was a smile in his eyes.
Xia Lunong didn't realize that he had changed his face many times, so he cheered up and continued to move forward.
Behind some ruins, there is another vegetable garden.
Xia Lunong split the weeds with the bamboo pole in his hand, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there were vegetable seedlings underneath, "Brother, it's pepper seedlings!"
Now that she has planted vegetables, Xia Lunong has identified the vegetable seedlings very accurately, "There are two more eggplants."
He squatted down excitedly to dig.
Xia Huoqu grabbed his collar and gently lifted him up, "No need, these are wild seedlings, even if they are planted, they won't bear much fruit."
"Oh." Xia Lunong looked down, his face full of pity.
Xia Huoqu took him to continue shopping, "See if I can find anything else."
"I guess it's going to be difficult. Vegetable fields generally grow eggplant, pepper, winter melon, and pumpkin—even if there are other things, they are not good seedlings..."
Xia Lunong walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a clump of lush green plants, and he grabbed his brother's clothes, "Brother, look quickly! What is that? "
"what?"
"Leek! Is that a leek?!"
Xia Lunong took a few steps forward, and looked at the weeds. In front of him, a large green leaf mixed with weeds was growing vigorously in all directions.
He stretched out his hand and pulled off a leaf, and the tender and thick leaf flesh was rubbed out immediately to produce green juice, exuding the unique spicy taste of leeks.
Xia Huoqu smiled, "It seems that we are lucky."
"Shall we cut it and go back to eat?" Xia Lunong pushed aside all the weeds beside him, "One, two, three, four, five, six, there are six plants in total, enough for us to eat."
"Cut it off." Xia Huo channeled, "Be careful there are ants hidden in it, I'll come."
Xia Lunong took out labor protection gloves from her bag and put them on, "I'm coming too."
The two brothers cut off the leeks one by one.
There was not enough space in the backpack, and every time they cut a handful, the two of them cut some weeds from the side to tie up the leeks.
I don't know how long the leeks have been growing wantonly here, and there are many old and yellow leaves in them, so you can't want them.
The two of them cleaned it up briefly, and in the end they could get fourteen handfuls of leeks, which were at least ten catties smaller.
Xia Lunong hugged the leek and smiled, "It feels like cut grass."
Ordinary dishes are far from this output.
Xia Huo's channel: "Leeks are easier to store, take them back and share a share. Didn't Liao Quannan give you bamboo shoots? Send them to his house to return the favor."
Xia Lunong didn't expect his brother to remember this, so she was a little surprised and nodded quickly.
Xia Huoqu wiped off his sweat, "Let's go, I guess we won't be able to find any food, your old brother and the others should be back."
Xia Lunong followed his brother forward, took two steps, and suddenly stopped.
Xia Huoqu looked at him, "What?"
Xia Lunong turned to look at the cut leeks, "Brother, these leeks must have been planted before the catastrophe, right?"
Look at the neat marks, not wild.
Xia Huoqu knew what he was thinking when he heard it, "Do you want to dig it back and plant it?"
"Well! Don't leeks eat leaves? We cut a crop and grow another crop. We don't grow anything behind the house, just these few leeks."
Originally, Xia Huoqu was just too lazy to bother, but after hearing what he said, he didn't mind, "Then dig."
Xia Lunong specially took out the small hoe from the backpack, and then took out the cloth bag, "Brother, it won't take much time for us to dig at the same time."
They had cut all the leaves of the leeks, leaving only the roots, and it really didn't take much effort to dig them up.
Xia Huoqu has great strength, he can dig a lot of soil with a hoe, and he can dig up a plant in two or three strokes.
Xia Lu is slower, but she is full of energy, and it doesn't take long to dig a plant.
When the two dug, they kept a little soil at the root. After digging, they stuffed the soil with the root into the cloth bag, but it was full of joy of harvest.
When the two returned to the small temporary base, Yan Xiannian and Liao Cheng had already returned.
As soon as Liao Cheng saw Xia Lunong, he said, "Hey, what are you doing, making this face full of dirt."
"Dig a few leeks." Xia Lunong put down the leeks she was holding in her hands, and then opened the backpack to show them, "The root system is very developed and grows very well. Brother Liao Cheng, do you want it? If you want, share it with two of you."
Liao Cheng went over to take a look, and said in his mouth, "Why do you want this stuff? It's convenient and reassuring to go to Lao Liu's place to exchange two plants."
Xia Huo's channel: "There is no mutation, and it does look pretty good."
Liao Cheng didn't say any more, he took his backpack and showed it to Xia Lunong and the others, "You guys cut the leeks, and we found a nest of eggs, probably from the chickens in the morning, and eat scrambled eggs with leeks at night, right? "
Xia Lunong had no objection, "Just get some chicken oil and fry it."
"Yeah, I haven't eaten scrambled eggs with leeks for a long time. I smashed one on the way. The yolks are all orange. Authentic local eggs must be delicious when used to stir-fry leeks."
The two sang together, and the more they talked, the more vigorous they were, and they almost didn't talk themselves into drooling.
Yan Xiannian looked up at the sky, "Then let's cook early, just go out early at night and come back early."
"Okay, Xiao Nong, I'll help you, what's for dinner?"
Xia Lunong pondered for a while, and asked for the opinions of his brothers, "We also found half a bag of carrots in the afternoon. Or we can eat fried eggs with leeks, carrots in chicken soup, and shredded chicken? Just cook the chicken once, so it can be preserved."
Liao Cheng was the first to agree, "I have no objection! I'm here to chop the peppers, and I haven't eaten shredded chicken for a long time."
Xia Huoqu shook his head, "Is there something you often eat these days?"
"There must be none." Liao Cheng said happily, "Now that the materials are sufficient and people are free, let's cook a few dishes and sacrifice them to the temple of the five internal organs."
After eating, the four of them sat lazily in place, not wanting to move while the wind was blowing.
The four sat in the shade, the wind was a little cool.
Xia Lunong just had a full meal, and the blood rushed to her stomach, her head became drowsy little by little, and she hugged her arms tightly and rubbed against his brother.
