Quick Travel: Peach Demon's Training Record

Chapter 73 Preparing for the New Year

Every household grows vegetables that can be pickled, and makes some pickles. Otherwise, in winter, there will only be radishes and cabbages!

The old people are all in high spirits and have so many things and life experiences to teach these young people!

While working, I listened to the old man telling me about his experience of making a living in the mountains when he was young. Unfortunately, there were pheasants, rabbits, wild boars and other wild game in the mountains before! But later they were gradually eaten to extinction!

Yes, they have been eaten to the point where they are classified as Class II protected animals! The younger generation has only heard of them but never seen them!

Later, life gradually improved, everyone was busy making money, and fewer people went up the mountain, but these things were basically no longer seen!

The children who followed were drooling as they listened. Meat has become a precious thing now!

If there are strong laborers in the family who can go out to find supplies, life will be better and they can still have food every few days!

But I can’t eat as much as I wanted before! In addition, I have been working a lot every day recently, and my family, young and old, are eating a lot!

Originally one chicken could be eaten for two days, but now one chicken can be finished in one meal!

It turns out that cooking at home is a headache. The children don’t want to eat this or that. They only take a few bites of the chicken and duck I cook and then put them down. They love all kinds of snacks and fast food!

Now those who cook at home have a headache because the children eat everything. The little ones eat their parents out of money. Those who have one child feel like they are raising a pig, and those who have two children feel like their children are a bottomless pit!

There is nothing they don't eat. Every day, they ask: Mom/Dad, what are we having for dinner today? Whatever is on the table, they eat it up in a rush, urging them to eat. That doesn't exist!

So when the children heard that they could hunt wild animals, they looked forward to the day when they could eat some meat after they learned how to do it!

He kept asking the old man how to set traps and how to chase and intercept prey when he saw them!

Everyone who heard this wished they could have a chance to practice it right away!

The old people also knew that there were no prey in the mountains now, but they could not resist the children's persistence, so they directed the children to make several traps of different sizes!

The children haven't played so happily for a long time!

In the next few days, the children would run eight times a day to see if they had caught any prey. Gradually, they became more and more disappointed and ran less and less!

Every household in the village started to grow spinach, radish, cabbage, garlic sprouts, celery, onions, and lettuce, but no household had all the seeds of these things!

But if you have this seed, and I have this seed, we can exchange them! Basically, everyone can plant the variety they want in the end!

The village is thriving and bustling with people working hard!

The villagers at the gas station used the same method to deliver a lot of gasoline!

Moreover, all the winter supplies for the nine new villagers were brought back!

The nine families were as happy as if it were New Year’s Day!

That’s great! We have completely taken root in the village!

Ruan Taohua's family is also harvesting grapes and planning to make some raisins this year!

Then he gave it to the children in the village to try! If anyone else wanted it, they would exchange it with the Ruan family!

The Ruan family harvested a lot of sauerkraut and various smoked meats made by the villagers themselves!

The taste is good! Ruan Taohua is very satisfied with the meal!

This year, I not only made raisins, but also canned grapes!

And under the guidance of my aunt, we also started to brew wine, which will be another delicious dish!

Save the remaining grapes for later consumption!

Once all the grapes are processed, start pruning the branches to save for smoking the meat!

The meat smoked with fruit tree branches is very fragrant!

Then people all over the mountain started collecting firewood to prepare for winter!

There is no electricity in winter, so we have to rely on firewood for heating! And there are many people this year, so we need to prepare more firewood! We divided the work and cooperated with each other. Some people trimmed the branches from the mountain, some were responsible for delivering them, and some were responsible for splitting the branches into small pieces at home for easy storage and use! Some were responsible for stacking the split firewood in the firewood room!

In this way, the work only stopped after the firewood room was filled up!

Time always flies by quickly when you are busy with work!

The news brought back by the villagers who went out to collect firewood made the atmosphere in the village tense!

It turned out that the refugees who had been gathering at the gate of their village went to the next door village in groups and stole a lot of things. Even the autumn harvest of the next door village was snatched away by these people!

Now the villagers in the neighboring village are fighting with these foreign refugees every day!

So the people in Ruanjia Village are worried about whether it will affect their own village!

On the other hand, I am also worried about them. How will they survive the winter if they keep fighting like this? It will be difficult for them to get through the winter!

The nine families that had already moved in were feeling lucky that they were living a peaceful life, while at the same time explaining to the villagers that they were not familiar with those people and were just forced to move here!

They all like Ruanjia Village very much and very much hope to live a peaceful life in Ruanjia Village!

After every household in the village has finished their work, they gather together to store firewood for the young and old in the village primary school, and also get some quilts and cotton clothes for the winter for those in need! Even the children who have lost their parents cannot be left to freeze and starve!

There is no farm work this winter, and all the supplies have been stockpiled early!

Everyone started to have some free time again. The adults with nothing to do took turns teaching the children and practicing martial arts with them!

After entering the twelfth lunar month, schools also began to have holidays. Before the first snow came, every family began to prepare for the New Year. After all, this was the first New Year!

Everyone is looking forward to the Chinese New Year! The children have grown another year older, the elderly are busy killing poultry at home, and those who raise pigs have begun to invite villagers to help kill the New Year pigs!

Villagers who wanted pork brought their food to the butchers to exchange! Everyone was satisfied with the butchering meal!

After a few days, most of the chickens and geese on Ruanjia Mountain were killed. Some were pickled and some were dried. The rest were exchanged with people in the village.

Now basically no one uses money, and what people want is basically exchanged for other things!

No internet, no electricity, no shopping!

I want everything I eat and drink to be all natural, handmade, and requires hard work every day!

But life is very pure, working from sunrise to sunset and resting from sunset!

My life is very regular! Not only has my sleep improved, but I also exercise every day, which makes me feel much better!
