Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland

It's not a new year or a festival, so it's not easy for the base to get some meat.

Xia Lunong's price is very low, two catties of rice can be exchanged for one catty of fish, and most of the people who can cook in the base bring rice to exchange for fish.

After more than half an hour, Xia Lunong's family's fish were all replaced except for a dozen or so fish that were reserved for their own family.

The supplies they got in exchange for the fish were also everything, rice, bacon, dried vegetables, preserved fruits... Miscellaneous, Xia Lunong put it away, and these supplies will be collected as public supplies.

When Xia Lunong and his brother returned home after exchanging fish, almost every house in the base smelled of fish.

The strong smell wafted everywhere, Xia Lunong sniffed and said, "I'm so hungry."

Xia Huoqu: "I'll have something to eat soon after I go back."

Xia Lunong Kongzhi has already steamed the rice and most of the dishes are ready.

Seeing him walk into the kitchen, Kong Zhi asked, "What else are you going to prepare?"

"Pickled peppers!" Xia Lunong rubbed her hands, "Steam pickled pepper fish fillets tonight, would you like some fish?"

"Okay." Kong Zhi went to the water basin to catch a relatively delicious fish, put it on the cutting board when he came back, knocked him unconscious, and started to fillet the fish.

Xia Lunong stood behind him and looked forward, "Save the fish bone in the middle, and steam it later."

"Ah."

Kongzhi's knife is very good, with excellent control, and each piece of fish is basically equal in size and thickness.

The fish meat is cut, and the light green and white fish fillets are placed on the plate, crystal clear.

Xia Lunong found a large flat plate and put the fish bones first, mixed them with shredded ginger, soy sauce, fermented soybeans, cooking wine, and cornstarch, then put the fish meat, added the seasoning, and added chopped peppers, Mix well and steam in a pan.

In addition to steamed fish tonight, there are fried pork slices with dried bamboo shoots, stir-fried lettuce, stir-fried pumpkin and fish head loofah soup.

Xia Lunong was quick, and within half an hour, all the dishes were on the table.

Yan Xiannian came over to serve the dishes, and first served the fish fillet with chopped peppers. After putting it on the table, he took a deep breath and said, "This fish is really delicious!"

"Fresh fish that has just been sliced ​​is naturally fragrant." Xia Lunong came out with fried pumpkin, "Hurry up, I'm so hungry."

Four dishes - soup on the table.

Kong Zhi brought up the rice cooker.

Most of the rice they eat now is the new good rice this year, which naturally has a fresh rice fragrance, and it is steamed quickly with firewood, and the whole pot of rice has an indescribable fragrance.

Everyone serves their own meals.

White rice in a white porcelain bowl, paired with long black chopsticks, under the curling heat, brings the unique warmth of home.

Xia Lunong grabbed the chopsticks, and the first chopsticks stretched out towards the still steaming fish, and while pinching it, he persuaded, "Everyone, eat quickly, the fish will be fishy when it gets cold."

As he spoke, he first picked up a piece of fish fillet.

Wrap the snow-white fish fillet with pickled pepper sauce and put it in your mouth. A fresh, sour and hot taste blooms on the tip of your tongue. The slightly salty and spicy taste in the fragrance completely suppresses the fishy smell. The fish is fresh and tender. There was not even half a fishbone, Xia Lunong sipped lightly, and the fish meat melted on the tip of her tongue.

He tasted it carefully, his eyes sparkled, and he felt very satisfied, "This fish is easy to eat."

Yan Xiannian had already tasted several pieces, and the fresh and spicy fish made him break out in a thin layer of sweat, "I have eaten steamed fish, braised fish, and chopped pepper fish before, and this is the first time I have eaten such spicy, delicious and fishy meat. Steamed fish fillets full of flavor, how did you learn it?"

Xia Lunong said: "I forgot, I probably learned it when I was eating out. Hey, it's really delicious, but it's a pity that this dish can only be made with fresh big fish."

"Can't we just go fishing again when the water rises next time?" Yan Xiannian picked up a piece for himself, and a few pieces for Xia Huoqu, "Eat it while it's hot."

There is such a large plate of fish, and everyone is very satisfied with this meal.

A bowl of fresh and sweet loofah soup after the meal will complete the meal.

Yan Xi Nian leaned on the chair to digest, "When the fish was just changed, Xiao Tang told me that they had brought the bricks back, let's see if it rains tomorrow, if it doesn't rain, let's build the pigsty first?"

Xia Huoqu: "Anything is fine."

"Then I'll go and have a look tomorrow. I told the property management committee earlier that the land for the pigsty should be approved, and I asked them to approve some more space. This time, I simply put the chicken coop next to it together. Move over?"

The chicken coop of Xia Lunong's house is now placed on the side of Yan Xinian's house, where chickens, ducks and geese are mixed together, and they can be raised casually.

It is very convenient for them to feed the chickens now, but the fruits and vegetables in the yard are severely damaged by chickens, ducks and geese.

Chickens, ducks and geese are all species that excrete anywhere. No matter how diligent they are, the yard will not be very clean after raising these small livestock.

All four of them love to be clean, and it is very uncomfortable to live in such an environment.

Xia Huo's channel: "Well, move over there first. See if I can ask Aunt Zheng to help-feed-together."

Yan Xinian said: "I'll talk to her tomorrow."

After the four of them chatted, they lined up to wash up.

Now Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi use the bathroom of Xia's house, while Xia Huoqu and Yan Xiannian usually carry water to Yan Xiannian's house to take a bath.

Xia Lunong moved slowly, and asked Kong Zhi to wash first. He scooped up water and carried it slowly to the eaves to brush his teeth.

His brother went to Yan Xiannian's house with hot water, and when he went out, Xia Lunong made way to the side so as not to hinder his brother.

Xia Huoqu warned: "Go to bed early and don't play with your phone at night."

With her toothbrush in her mouth, Xia Lu nodded vaguely, watching his brother's voice disappear in the old brother's house next door, feeling a little weird belatedly.

The four of them live together, no matter what, let Kong Zhi live next door, he and his brother live together?

How could it be like this now?

Xia Lunong stood under the eaves, lost in thought.

He was thinking, when Kong Zhi's deep voice sounded in the room, "I've finished washing, hurry up."

"Huh? Good!" Xia Lunong came back to his senses, held up the toothbrush and moved it quickly like driving a bumper car in his mouth, rinsed his mouth with water, "I'll be right there."

Kong Zhi: "I scooped out the water for you."

Xia Lunong shouted: "I want more hot water!"

"I scooped up a full bucket for you, and you change it yourself."

Xia Lunong is afraid of the cold, and prefers warmer bath water.

Hearing that the water had been scooped out, he hurried in, put away his toothbrush and washed his hands, went back to his room, took off his underwear and pajamas, and ran into the bathroom to take a shower.

After a tiring day, Xia Lunong fell asleep quickly, and when she was brushing her teeth the next morning, she suddenly remembered the strange way the four of them lived.

It rained a few days ago, when the people at the base asked them to collect peanuts, they saw his brother living in his old brother's house, and spread some gossip.

It's kind of weird living apart like this.

Xiahuoqu and Kongzhi—woke up early in the morning, picked up and killed all the fish kept in the bucket, and put them neatly in the basin.

Seeing him brushing his teeth slowly, Xia Huoqu called him, "Come over here after brushing your teeth and see how the fish is cooked. Put salt to make salted fish?"

"No." Xia Lunong quickly ran in, "No salted fish, everyone doesn't like it, just cut it into pieces, salt it—and send it to the bread kiln to bake into dried fish."

Xia Huoqu handed him the knife, "You first demonstrate how big a piece you want to cut."

Xia Lunong took the knife, inspected it visually, and cut it into small pieces with a width of one centimeter, "That's it."

"You go to the bread kiln to light a fire first, and we will cut it."

Charlon was sent off to light the fire.

When the fire was built, he came back to marinate the fish pieces, dawdling here and there, dawdling here and there for a while, and the morning passed.

The bread kiln uses the heat absorbed by the kiln body to bake fish without observing the heat, which is very convenient.

Charlon stuffed the fish pieces into the bread kiln, and she could do other things.

In the morning, he and his brother went to see the red bricks transported back by Xiao Tang and the others.

They just wanted to build pig pens and chicken pens, so they didn't need many red bricks, and what Xiao Tang and the others brought over was enough.

It just so happened that the weather had cleared up, so Yan Xiannian asked Xiao Tang and the others to help build the pigsty.

Building a pigsty requires stones as the foundation, and it is not easy to move the stones around. In addition, it is also heavy work to build walls with cement. Xia Lunong and the others have to take care of lunch and dinner.

This meal has to be better.

Among the four, Xia Lunong's cooking skills were not bad, and the heavy responsibility of cooking fell on him.

Xia Lunong dragged Kong Zhi to the market, intending to see if there was any meat to exchange.

No one got wild boars or bison today, only a little muntjac.

Xia Lunong looked at Kong Zhi, "Do you want to eat braised mussels?"

Kong Zhi nodded, "Eat!"

"Then let's make red braised mussels at noon, and the taste will be stronger—it shouldn't be unpalatable." Xia Lunong said, "Let's add chilli fish cubes and stir-fry two more vegetables, and it's almost the same."

"Ah."

Xia Lunong can't kill the deer, and neither can Kong Zhi.

The two sent the deer to the cafeteria and asked someone to help cook the deer.

They wanted suede fur, so Kong Zhi continued to help Jianzhupen, Xia Lunong squatted aside to see how the people in the cafeteria did it.

There were people coming and going outside the cafeteria, many people brought things to the cafeteria to exchange, and many people exchanged things from the cafeteria.

Xia Lunong was moved, and asked the people in the cafeteria, "Do you collect peanut buds here?"

The people in the canteen didn't hesitate, "Take it, do you have peanut sprouts?"

"There are some peanuts at home that got rained a few days ago, and they are stuffy in their shells and are about to germinate. We can't finish them by ourselves. Let's see if you want them."

"Yes, everything in the cafeteria." The person in the cafeteria laughed, "We haven't eaten peanut sprouts for a long time."

Xia Lunong said: "Then I'll get it for you."

The peanuts in the base are precious, and everyone is reluctant to eat them, let alone use them to sprout peanuts.

This is such a waste.

Xia Lunong took advantage of the deer not being dealt with, went home and used some supernatural powers to stimulate it, and then took the peanut sprouts to the cafeteria.

The peanut buds of his family are white, tender and plump. The people in the cafeteria gently squeezed a piece into their mouths, and a sweet taste spread in their mouths.

After the people in the cafeteria tasted it, without saying a word, they changed it to him—a small jar of meat.

Xia Lunong went back with the jar of meat and mussels.

This little deer was only about 20 catties of clean meat. Xia Lunong chopped off half of it, braised it in a large pot, and then stewed it.

Muntjac meat has a rich flavor, and winter melon adds a touch of sweetness.

Winter melon and meat - stewed, full of meat flavor, soft and tender, the taste is not inferior to meat.

The people who helped build the pigsty came back together at noon, drinking big bowls of wine and eating meat, everyone's faces were full of satisfaction.

It took only one day for them to build the pig pen and chicken pen, but the cement was not dry, and the roof would have to be poured in a few days.

It happened that Xiao Tang and the others brought back a lot of bricks, so Xia Huoqu returned another batch of bricks, cement and steel bars, and asked them to help add a floor.

Xiao Tang and the others had no objection either. Working in the base was safer and easier than collecting outside. Xia Huoqu’s supplies were not much less than going out, and his food was delicious, so Xiao Tang and the others were very happy.

Xia Lunong is not in good health and did not participate in the construction.

This work is too tiring, he does it by himself, and when he is tired and sick, the supplies for seeing a doctor are much more than those for hiring someone, which is not cost-effective.

Xia Lunong also cooks for the past two days, and goes out to the field to check how the crops are growing.

The impact of the torrential rain had faded away, and Xia Lunong found that his carrots, radishes, and mustard greens had all grown to an inch high, while the eggplant, tomato, and pepper had basically returned to their original shape.

The wheat was still lying in the ground, but it seemed to be slowly growing back.

Xia Lunong took a closer look—the wheat had already started to ear, and the heavy rain didn't seem to have caused much impact.

As for the rice fields in Kongzhi, the rainstorm did not have much impact on the rice fields, and it has no impact now.

Xia Lunong walked around the field a few times, quietly used some abilities, and looked at the growth of the fish raised in the field. After confirming that there was no problem, she returned home with a basket of vegetables.

It took Xia Huoqu and the others four days to build the pigsty, chicken pen and the second floor of their house.

When Xia Huoqu and Yan Xian first chose houses, they chose houses that were connected together. Now that they add one floor, they also add them together.

Looking down from the mountainside, apart from the Bailou, Xia Lunong's house and Yan Xiannian's house are the two buildings on the second floor of the entire base, which are the most beautiful and eye-catching.

Xia Lunong likes the added floor of the house very much.

There is an extra layer above their heads, the sun cannot directly shine on the roof, and the home is much cooler and more comfortable.

And because there were more floors in the house, the rice grains and other sundries that had no place to pile up in the house finally found a place to pile them up. Xia Lunong dragged the three of them to tidy them up, and the house finally became tidy.

Now the house is bright and bright, and Xia Lunong feels physically and mentally comfortable looking at it.

"It's comfortable now." Xia Lunong looked at the peanuts piled up in the corner, "After two more days in the sun, let's send these peanuts to the oil press. Without these sundries, the house won't be so messy."

"Anything is fine." Xia Huo channeled, "I'll go and ask tomorrow to see if I need to queue up."

"No need." Yan Xiannian said, "I told them in advance, just send them to the oil press."

Speaking of this, Xia Lunong was curious, "Last year there was no electricity, so I must not be able to use the oil press. What about the oil press?"

"The base was not built at this time last year, so there is no need to extract oil." Xia Huo channeled, "All the city walls were built last winter and the land was divided. In fact, large-scale planting of crops began in the base this year. You Didn't you find that the food in the cafeteria is different?"

Xia Lunong shook his head, he really didn't pay attention.

Their family didn't eat in the cafeteria recently, and when he went to the cafeteria, he didn't pay special attention to what basic meals were provided in the cafeteria.

Xia Huoqu was about to talk to him carefully.

Kong Zhi interjected next to him, "When I first came here, sweet potatoes were the main ingredient in the multigrain rice in the cafeteria, but now rice is the main ingredient. Everyone is eating much better."

Xia Huoqu nodded, "Yes, you observed more carefully. After the summer grain was harvested in the base, the basic set meal in the cafeteria changed. There used to be more vegetables, but now there is more starch, and occasionally meat is added."

Xia Lunong didn't expect this, he was stunned for a while, "If we give us a few more years, wouldn't everyone in the base be able to eat white rice?"

So you don't have to be hungry anymore?

Yan Xiannian casually interjected, "Isn't this a matter of course?"
