Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

There are too many people growing tomatoes in the base, and there are not many things that can be exchanged at all.

After thinking about it again and again, Xia Lunong had no choice but to stop thinking about exchanging tomatoes for Lao Liu.

Tomatoes have to be picked off the branches, and if they are not picked off, they will slowly rot.

The two carried the tomatoes back, replaced them with larger baskets, and continued to pick tomatoes.

The tomatoes in their family are very sweet and red, and they have been severely damaged.

Some tomatoes were pecked by birds, and some were eaten by insects. Skipping these tomatoes eaten by birds and insects, they picked another half a load. Adding the two baskets before, there were a total of about one and a half loads of tomatoes.

In the vegetable field, apart from tomatoes, eggplants, beans, and peppers also had a bumper harvest. They were all picked once, half a load of eggplants, a basket of beans, and a basket of peppers.

After the two picked these fruits and vegetables back, a corner of the living room was full.

In the evening, Xia Huoqu's sniper's bridle robe and Hao's pure blowing sword were taken aback.

Yan Xiannian asked in surprise: "There are so many vegetables grown in Wufen Field?"

"There is no fifth field." Xia Lunong replied, "Two of the fifth field is planted with peanuts, and the remaining third is planted with these vegetables and a small field of garlic. That's two points of Tada's output."

Looking at this pile of hill-like fruits, Yan Xiannian was really shocked, "Xiao Nong, your ability is too easy to use. You can already get this harvest with such a small amount of land. I will give you more land to support the entire base. Is it okay?"

Xia Huoqu asked lightly: "Everyone in the base has hands and feet, who should rely on whom to support?"

Yan Xinian raised his hand to beg for mercy, "That's what I said, I can't let Xiao Nong suffer. Speaking of which, peppers are not bad, dried peppers can be stored for several years, how to make eggplants and beans? I remember eggplants can't be dried, right?" ? It’s like a piece of paper, boring.”

Xia Lunong rubbed his chin, "I'm also thinking about it. I plan to entrust the children who are more often at home to dry the chili peppers. It's not urgent to dry them slowly. The beans are made into capers, and the eggplants - sauced eggplants?"

Xia Huoqu nodded, "Anything is fine, what about tomatoes?"

Xia Lunong said: "I have an idea about tomatoes. Brother, how about we roast tomatoes into dried tomatoes?"

Xia Huo looked at him.

Xia Lunong gestured and said: "The problem we are encountering now is that there are too many tomatoes, which cannot be consumed in the base and cannot be replaced. The essence is that there are too many similar foods. If it is made into dried tomatoes, it will be different. Let's process it briefly. Roasted into sundried tomatoes, see if I can replace it with something else in the base."

"If we can't change it, won't we go to Yacheng? When the time comes, we can go there and change it for something. It's really not good. The dried tomato is not heavy, so we can bring it back as a snack."

Xia Huoqu thought about it carefully, then nodded, "You can try."

"Then I'll try it tomorrow to see if I can make patterns out of dried tomatoes."

The base is now often exposed to the sun and rain. It is too risky to dry a relatively delicate vegetable such as tomato in the sun. As long as it is cloudy and rainy one day, the tomato will rot immediately if it fails to go out to dry.

The roasting method is much safer and more convenient.

Everyone let go and let Xia Lunong to toss about.

Early the next morning, Xia Lunong carried the rice on his back, and specially took Kong Zhi to the market to exchange for a suitable pot.

He replaced it with a very large iron pot, which was tall and deep, with a flat lid on it, somewhat similar to a soup pot.

Tomatoes are roasted in this kind of pot, and the heat will be relatively even.

After Xia Lunong finished changing the pot, there was still more than seven catties of rice left in the basket, so he simply went to replace a large piece of meat.

Kong Zhi didn't quite understand, "What are you doing in exchange for meat?"

"Since we are planning to roast tomatoes, we must develop the taste." Xia Lunong said, "I thought about it, the tomato itself is sour and sweet, it may not be suitable for sweet snacks, and we don't have so much sugar .It may be more attractive if it is made into a hot and sour taste."

Kong Zhi waited quietly for him to continue.

Xia Lunong smiled, "I'm planning to process it. If meat is added, the taste of dried tomatoes may be better? And with or without meat, the feeling is completely different. The same pound of dried tomatoes, no Adding meat may only exchange one catty of rice, but adding meat may only exchange three catties.”

Kong Zhi didn't expect him to be good at doing business, so he was a little surprised immediately.

Xia Lunong carried the basket tightly, "Anyway, let's try a little first, if it doesn't taste good, we can keep it for ourselves."

Kong Zhi has no comment.

The meat in Xia Lunong's hand was a piece of fat and thin pork.

He took the meat home, washed it with rice water, cut it into pieces, then added a large amount of green and red peppers one by one, and then added minced garlic, minced ginger, rice wine, soy sauce, etc. and stirred evenly. Sauce.

Charlon’s chili peppers are fragrant and spicy, and the fried meat sauce is also very spicy and delicious, and the smell is very appetizing.

Xia Lunong originally wanted to use the meat sauce to roast dried tomatoes, but smelling the aroma, she couldn't help it, so she simply withheld some of it and served it as pickles for breakfast.

Also on the table are fried bamboo shoots sliced ​​with bacon, stir-fried eggplant Jing Shen Yuan mushrooms

Needless to say, the bacon and bamboo shoots, with Xia Lunong's cooking skills, it can't be missed.

The bamboo shoots they specially picked that day, after cutting out, each piece of bamboo shoots is very fresh and tender, and when fried with bacon and chili, the bamboo shoots are fresh and spicy, with a little aftertaste.

The most wonderful thing is that the savory taste of the bacon makes the bland bamboo shoots thicker, and the whole dish is a little more grand.

Not to mention that they are eating breakfast by themselves, even if this dish is sent to a large banquet, it is qualified.

Eggplant was the dish that surprised Xia Lunong the most.

They haven't eaten eggplant for a long time, and this eggplant dish is very different.

The eggplants in my memory are somewhat hard, but this eggplant is soft, tender, smooth, and fragrant. After being fried quickly on high heat, the eggplant is full of fragrance, and it is delicious with only a little salt.

The same is true for dry-stir-fried beans. The beans produced by the house are thick and thick. After being fried quickly, the beans are sweet and tender, with a slight salty taste, which is very good for rice.

Xia Lunong estimated everyone's appetite, and specially steamed a large pot of rice, but with these few dishes, it was still not enough.

Even a man as temperate as his brother served four bowls of rice in a row, not to mention the others.

After eating, Xia Lunong rubbed her belly, looked at the empty rice pot beside her, feeling a little melancholy, "It seems that we really have to hurry up and go out to collect supplies, or there won't be enough rice to eat."

Yan Xinian smiled, "That's not the case. We also get paid for building hydropower stations. I moxibusted and reeled locusts and boats. We worked hard for four days, and we weighed [-] catties. Adding today, it counts as [-] catties. In the evening I'll send them over."

Xia Lunong thought for a while, and said: "A few days later is fine, but according to this appetite, the rice at home will only last for a month at most."

There is indeed a lot of rice in their family, but four big men can consume nearly ten catties of rice a day.

In addition, rice has to be exchanged for fertilizers, seeds, daily necessities, etc. needed by the family. I usually go to the cafeteria to change vegetables occasionally. I can't keep many meters.

Kong Zhi packed up the bowls and chopsticks, and said: "There is nothing to do these two days, I can go out to collect some things, and I can also exchange some rice. I will prepare today and go out tomorrow."

Xia Huoqu stopped him, "No, it's really not possible, let your brothers from the past get back this year's dividends in advance."

Kong Zhi said: "It's okay, I used to go out alone when I was in our base."

"Wait!" Xia Lunong grasped the point, "What dividend?"

Xia Huoqu remembered, "I haven't told you yet. Your brother presided over the establishment of this base in the past. All public revenues in the base, such as the food we handed over, must be divided into [-]% of him first, and the rest will be used. Public maintenance, such as distributing materials to the property management committee. For big income earners like the base canteen, [-]% of all profits should be given to him.”

It was the first time Xia Lunong heard this statement after waking up, and the way she looked at Yan Xianian changed instantly.

He didn't expect that his older brother was still a local tyrant?

Yan Xinian smiled, "Xiao Nong, what kind of eyes do you have?"

Xia Lunong said quietly: "I was thinking about how you live so poorly with so much income?"

"Hey, brat, I'm so heartbroken."

Yan Xianian shook his head after laughing, and explained to them, "Most of my income is used to support the group of scientists in the Bailou. At the beginning, when I said that I would use the public supplies of the base to support them, everyone did not agree, and I will do this part alone. out."

Xia Lunong didn't expect this to be the reason, this matter is really costly.

"That's not right." Xia Lunong changed his mind and quickly realized, "If that's the case, then do you also own the results of the scientists?"

Yan Xinian smiled, "Yes."

Xia Lunong: "..."

He just said, when did his old brother become a great person?Feelings are still that profiteer.

Scientists don't appear in public very much, but they do a lot.

What Shan Xia Lunong knows, such as truck transformation, seed cultivation, fertilizer fermentation, etc., are behind the projects hosted by the scientists at the Bailou.

When people in the base use these achievements, they have to exchange materials. Over the years, the income of the Bailou is definitely quite a lot.

Xia Huoqu concluded: "Don't worry about the food at home, there is really no shortage now, if there is not enough, let him move some out for use, and then fill the hole when he frees his hands."

As he said that, he raised his chin towards Kongzhi, "You too, Kongzhi. With your ability, this year's harvest must be far greater than your expenditure, so don't be so anxious."

Xia Huo channel: "The most difficult time has already passed, there is no need to be anxious now, just take your time, we are not short of rations."

Xia Lunong obediently responded, "I see, I will try a few more times on the tomato side."

After dinner, Yan Xiannian and Ju Muxuan continued to work on the hydropower station.

Previously, Xia Lunong wondered how hard his brother and the others were working so hard, but now she realized that it was all his brother's property in the past, no wonder he cared so much.

Xia Lunong stayed at home, while Huang Xie tossed his tomatoes.

The sun-dried tomatoes should have been cut into two pieces, but their tomatoes were big, so they were finally cut into four pieces.

These tomatoes are grown in the open air. Occasionally, some worm-eyed birds will dig them up, and throw the dug out parts into the bucket next to them, and they will feed them to the chickens later.

The remaining tomatoes are cut and placed in a large wooden basin.

Before roasting the tomatoes, Xia Lunong first marinated them with thin salt to control the moisture as much as possible, then put the meat sauce to marinate, and then put them in the pot for roasting.

The pot is a special large pot, with charcoal left after the firewood is burned underneath, and part of the burning charcoal is placed on the lid of the pot.

Roast top and bottom to maximize even heating of the batch of tomatoes.

Xia Lunong continued to cut while roasting the dried tomatoes, and occasionally looked up, looking forward to the finished product coming out of it.
