MTL - The Global Reshuffle of Space-Chapter 287 busy inside and out
Chapter 287 Busy inside and out
In the middle of the month, the grain collection work in Nanshan Town ended amid cursing.
The villagers whose arms could not twist their thighs finally handed in the public grain honestly, and also got part of the subsidy points.
Of course, the points and the value of the public food they handed over are far from enough.
But in order to stay in Nanshan Town and keep the only land, no one dared to really disobey no matter how loud their mouths were.
Extraordinary means in extraordinary times, not just talk!
Because of the public grain issue, all the remaining sweet potatoes in the field were taken home. The villagers believed that only the ones in their hands were their own.
The dead sweet potato vines did not waste the labor of the villagers, and most of them yielded around 5,000 catties per mu.
With these grains, the heart hurt by the public grain incident also received some comfort.
Because the temperature is too high, fresh sweet potatoes are not easy to preserve.
In order to save food, the villagers all chose to make homemade dried sweet potatoes. Because of the severe water shortage, it was impossible to wash them.
Cut sweet potatoes directly into thin slices, dry them in the sun in a day, and keep them sealed for a long time.
Due to the scorching sun and lack of water, it is impossible to plant the next season's crops. Although the villagers have harvested an acre of land, they are also starting to worry.
The abnormal weather for two consecutive years, and the lack of rain this year, all tell people that the situation will only get worse.
Every night, they will go out to search for all the food they can eat. Only in this way can they calm their restless hearts.
…
Xiao Yueling hides in her room during the day to take care of the space, and the rice inside will rest for a season after being harvested.
Fruits, mushrooms, eggs…
It took Xiao Yueling ten days to put all the edible things in the space into the cave.
Cotton can only be picked by hand. Fortunately, the second planting area is not large, and one round of picking can be completed in half a day.
What surprised her the most was the honey. She got a jar of five kilograms of honey, which was inseparable from her cutting wisteria flowers every two months.
Through unremitting efforts, she filled the boundaries of each area in the space with wisteria flowers.
There is also a circle around the entire island. When the flowers bloom, the island is surrounded by wisteria flowers, and various small flowers bloom on the grass, which is magnificent!
The active sounds of various types of poultry and the occasional jumping fish in the sea add fireworks to the vibrant island.
The time of night in the space has been shortened to three hours. Xiao Yueling believes that it will not be long before it will be completely replaced by day.
With all the supplies in stock, she can finally rest for a while and enjoy the life of lying down.
All the crops in the greenhouse were also taken home, and Xiao Yueling rewarded the workers with the same grain as last year.
One person presented two pumpkins, two watermelons, and five eggs.
When they held the eggs they hadn't seen in two years, the five of them bowed deeply to Xiao Yueling with tears in their eyes.
"Thank you little boss, thank you!"
"This is what you deserve, you can give priority to buying a pair of little rabbits to raise.
Friendship price 100 points for a pair! "
This price is so cheap that it couldn’t be any cheaper. It’s equivalent to half sale, half free, and the five of them are well aware of this.
"Yes, yes, we have wanted to buy it for a long time, but we have never dared to mention it!"
Zeng Jiafu responded immediately. He had long been envious of Xiao's rabbits. Rabbits are the best to breed and breed the fastest.
As long as there is grass to eat, it can grow meat, which is the best choice for domestication.
In the future, his family will also have countless rabbits like the Xiao family. Zeng Jiafu can already imagine the grand occasion of rabbits jumping all over the house.
"We want to!"
Song Xiaoxing also hurriedly responded, and the other three also hurriedly responded.
The whole family earns points, so they can still afford it if they grit their teeth, and they can earn more money when they grow up.
"Okay, one person is a pair, and the sweet potato vines in the field are also brought back. If there is anything I don't understand, ask more.
The next season of crops, potatoes and cassava, will be planted in the field. "
When the five heard this, they were about to be half unemployed again, and their faces collapsed.
Not going to work means that there are no points to earn, and it is hard to find a job now. What a worry!
"Boss, I can get less points, can you not drive me?" Wu Liwen whispered.
She knew that due to lack of water and high temperature, the land in the whole town had not been cultivated, and the villagers would collectively go out at night to find everything they could eat.
Although it is not possible to peel off the bark, it is because there are no trees to peel, and all the trees that can be cut have been cut down.
There are very few plants that have not been sunburned. I heard from the man in the family that the harvest in the resident is not as high as last year.
In case of losing this job again, the family will lose a piece of income, and I feel panicked when I can only go out and go in every day!
"I don't want to drive you away, you can understand what is going on in the field at a glance.
I come to work every day, and there is no work to do. If I have time, I might as well go home and think of other ways.
Once there is no water in the pool, the land will be useless. "
Xiao Yueling didn't want this to happen either, but it was impossible for her to support five people for nothing.
It is a matter of course that you get paid as much as you do. Xiao Yueling is very clear about how much work is in her greenhouse.
With her and two old men, plus agricultural robots, as long as the planting is not very complicated, there is no need to hire workers at all.
In the past, workers were hired because of the variety of species, and some picking required manual work.
Now, she has a certain reserve in the eyes of outsiders, and she doesn't need to be so complicated at all.
These people are kept because they are familiar with each other, and because they are the parents of Min Xinghe's soldiers, so they have been kept.
Only potatoes and cassava are grown in the fields, and there is no water to irrigate after sprouting. These workers lose their value.
She is not a big wronged person, why does she have to support a group of idlers.
Zeng Jiafu secretly teased Wu Liwen, telling her not to talk too much, eggs and rabbits are already good.
People outside have never even seen an eggshell, so he is already very satisfied.
The work in the station is also decreasing, and it is even recommended that everyone go out more to find food, collect wood and so on.
"Little boss, I'm sorry, I'm just too worried about being hungry..." Wu Liwen whispered.
Xiao Yueling smiled and said nothing, the treatment of the family members is considered the best, if this kind of words spread to the ears of all the colonels, it will definitely hurt my heart!
"The sun is out, you should go back early.
Start growing potatoes and cassava the day after tomorrow! "
"Be sure to arrive on time the day after tomorrow!"
Zeng Jiafu nodded in response, and sent a message to Zeng Feipeng upstairs to ask him to come down to help.
When he went to work today, he thought that there would be food distribution, so he brought his own sacks and baskets, which are just in time for use.
The welfare that the Xiao family gave them is considered the best, no matter how greedy they are, it’s unjustifiable, and the most important thing right now is to take good care of them.
Everyone is a family member, Zeng Jiafu certainly knows that they haven't reached the point where they can't afford to eat.
Watching Xiao Yueling and complaining, it was a bit too much.
Not going to work, but just taking good care of the rabbits at home, raising a litter of little rabbits until the end of the year, so his family's life will be more hopeful.
