The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 1313: Living in the days of natural disaster (40)

Before leaving, they cleared almost all the snow from the front, back and roof of the orphanage. They also dug a sloping drainage ditch. After the ice and snow melted into water, it flowed out along the drainage ditch, adding welfare benefits. The terrain of the courtyard was already high, but it did not bring much disaster to the house.

Flowers and plants that are resistant to low temperatures and extreme cold, such as saffron, camellia, and kale, were all collected by Xu Yin into the system warehouse before leaving.

Saffron has only been harvested once in two years, and the quantity is very small. Considering the weather of minus [-] degrees Celsius, it was too cold to bloom.Although the quantity is small, the quality is better. Xu Yin stored these few milligrams of saffron separately.The roots of the plants are wrapped in soil so they can be planted again in the future.

After all, she still collected a few milligrams of saffron, but the camellias were taken into the system warehouse without even waiting for the flowering period.

Only the wall-creeper was confiscated at the time, and I thought it was about to die. Unexpectedly, it grew very well. Not only did it not die from the sun, it also covered half of the wall with lush greenery.

The children circled the yard and then went straight to the bunker to see Lao Bai and them.

As soon as the entrance opens, oh!The smell is a bit strong!

Is the fresh air system faulty?

I held my nose and went down to the bunker. I went to the equipment room first and found that there was no fault. The lighting, fresh air, and constant temperature systems were all running normally.

“Wow—oh my god!”

Xu Dong and Xu Xi couldn't wait to go to the animal base next door to see Lao Bai and the two dogs. They were dumbfounded.Xu Dong even spoke the dialect he learned on TV.

"Brother Ning! Yinyin! Come and see! It's terrible here!"

Xu Xi was also stunned: "Why are there so many geese? Aren't they all Lao Bai's children? There are also many dogs!"

"..."

Xu Yin and Ning Jin ran over to take a look, and both twitched their mouths.

With Lao Bai having nothing to do, he has been incubating eggs with the geese he hatched?

One goose hatches one nest a month, a dozen geese hatch half a year... sixty or more nests?
I don't know, I was taken aback.

No wonder the area where the geese live is full of crushed eggshells and rattling downy goslings...

When Marshmallow and the little cow saw them, they barked and ran over, followed by their respective spouses and a bunch of fluffy puppies.

After not seeing each other for half a year, these two brothers also became fathers.

The sound of geese, dogs, and cats meowing in the distance...

Xu Yin only felt that her brain was swelling suddenly.

Fortunately, this animal base was dug relatively large at the beginning, and the activity area for geese, dogs, cats and other animals can be expanded even if it is not enough.

The four children seize the time and work separately. The egg collector collects eggs, the feces collector collects feces, and the necessary ones are cleaned. The next step is to wash their nests with water pipes.

Xu Yin saw that her friends had taken away all the dirty work, so she was responsible for the final disinfecting. At the same time, she also fed them a few mouthfuls of Linghu water to treat their illnesses and strengthen their health.

The high temperature will continue for a few more years, and these little guys will have to continue to live here.

After cleaning up the animal base, the children went to the planting area next door.

All the crops planted before leaving were ripe, and some were overripe and rotted in the ground. Everyone was busy again.

Thanks to the fact that they have been doing farm work every day in Central City for the past six months, their hands have not only become less raw, but have become more skilled. With the help of small agricultural equipment such as harvesters, they can harvest all crops such as rice, wheat, and corn.

For vegetables and fruits, check whether they are overripe.Those that are still edible are put into baskets, and those that are overripe are left in the ground for the time being, and will be fertilized later when there is time.

After finishing their work, the children returned to the bunker and took turns taking a bath. They sat down refreshed to take stock of the harvest of the past six months.

"A total of 105 goose eggs were picked up, and 95 new goslings were added."

"There are so many fish in the pond, I can't count them all; you can just catch a pot of shrimps. If you can't finish them all, you can dry them in the sun."

"The harvested rice weighed 500 kilograms, wheat weighed 360 kilograms, and corn with ears weighed 450 kilograms."

"Many of the watermelons are overripe. I counted 25 of them that are edible. The overripe melon seeds can be saved as seeds."

"Pumpkins can be eaten even when they are old. We collected 52 in total."

"The edamame is very old. If you dry it in the sun, you can collect it and save seeds or cook the soybeans and sprout them for eating." "Although the soybeans have not been weighed yet, based on the last harvest, it was at least a hundred kilograms. From now on, we will eat it every day." You can put some in your pocket to grow bean sprouts next time."

Xu Dong and Xu Xi took turns reporting.

The summary is——

Lao Bai took the dozen geese he had hatched and hatched more than 100 goose eggs. In the end, 95 geese survived and 105 eggs were left.Fortunately they came today, otherwise the team of geese would probably continue to grow.

Vegetables, melons and fruits are basically old.Those that bear fruit late can still be eaten, but those that bear fruit early are overripe and can only be used for retting.

On the other hand, legume crops have a long growth period. Even if they are old, they can be used to save seeds or make soup without affecting the taste and nutritional intake.On the contrary, aged beans are more nutritious and comprehensive.

They couldn't take these supplies out for the time being, so they stored them in the warehouse next to the equipment room. However, they all came over and worked hard for a long time. They planned to use a small rice mill to grind a few kilograms of new rice to cook a pot of fragrant rice, and then stew it. A young goose rewarded himself, and the alarm bell that stayed outside went off, indicating that someone was approaching the orphanage, or was knocking on the door of the orphanage.

The four children quickly put on their new clothes, smeared several handfuls of plaster on each other's faces, messed up their hair, loaded up the new rice ready for cooking, picked up the young goose about to be slaughtered, and left the stairwell.

Xu Dong and Xu Xi rushed into the kitchen with the young goose in their arms, and Ning Jin pulled Xu Yin up the stairs to the second floor.

"Boom bang bang-"

There was a knock on the door of the orphanage again.

"Is no one here?"

"Yinyin—"

"Xiao Ning—"

"Dongdong—"

"Sissy—"

It turned out that Xiao Hu, who was under Professor Liu, came to find them.

Xu Yin and Ning Jin looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Hu has been following Professor Liu since he was a graduate student. Like Professor Liu, he is a kind-hearted person. In other words, he is easier to deceive.

They looked at each other, smiled, and responded in a loud voice: "Brother Hu, we are here! I will come down and open the door for you!"

The two ran downstairs, unbolted the door, pulled the latch, and opened the door.

"I just called you a few times, but no one answered. I thought you weren't here. I was scared to death!" Xiao Hu, who came to see them, wiped the sweat from his brow, "The professor hasn't come back after seeing you for a long time. I'm very worried, let me come over and take a look, is there nothing wrong?"

"No, we are fine! It's just that we haven't been back for half a year. I miss you so much that I walked around the yard. When you knocked on the door, Brother Hu, we might have been in the backyard and didn't hear you clearly."

"Brother Hu, you are in for a treat!" Xu Yin said, pulling him towards the kitchen, "Let me tell you quietly, we caught a goose in the rotten hay at the base of the backyard wall..."

Xiao Hu thought they were teasing him. When he got to the kitchen, he saw a large iron pot on the half-collapsed earth stove. Water was boiling in the pot. Xu Dong and Xu Xi squatted on the ground and were working hard to pull out the pot. Wearing goose feathers...

Only belatedly, he realized: these four children had really caught a goose.And because he was sent out by the professor to find them, he was lucky enough to taste this goose meat.

Goose meat!
The goose is stewed in a fragrant iron pot!

I haven’t had it in years.

Xiao Hu came back to his senses and found that he was drooling. He lowered his head and wiped the corners of his mouth in shame, and cleared his throat: "Ahem, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Great, Brother Hu, come and pluck the goose feathers! I'll add some firewood!"

"Brother Hu, can you cook goose meat?" Xu Xi asked him.

Xiao Hu hesitated for a few seconds: "Uh... I've eaten it, but I haven't done it."

"..."

He swore that these children definitely "cut" him, but there was no sound.
