Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

Looking at the chicks and ducklings fighting for food, Wang Jianjun seemed to see plates of fried chicken and roast duck placed in front of him.

Now that you have unlocked two poultry breeds, the next step is to work towards livestock.

The chickens and ducks have an auxiliary system to help take care of them, so Wang Jianjun doesn't have to worry about anything.

He then came to the place where the bamboos were piled.

The land area in the farm space is very large, and Wang Jianjun found an open space near the river as his camp.

It’s called a campsite, but in fact there’s nothing there. We can only build a house when conditions are right in the future.

First I took off my clothes and took a bath in the river, then I built a tic-tac-toe fire with the dead wood I picked up during the day.

Put some hay in it as tinder and light it with matches.

After the fire is lit, take out a few potato lumps and sweet potatoes that were just harvested today from the storage space and throw them into the fire to roast.

He chopped a few more bamboo sticks, sharpened them, strung the corn on them, and roasted them near the fire.

The roasted corn needs to be brushed with oil to make it fragrant. I took out the two taels of soybean oil I bought at the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday and brushed it with oil.

The amount of oil used would probably make Uncle San feel heartbroken.

There was no choice of seasoning, so Wang Jianjun only bought soy sauce and vinegar. The supply and marketing cooperative was temporarily out of stock of cumin and chili powder.

He didn't mind and brushed some soy sauce on it when it was almost cooked.

In a short while, the fragrant roasted corn, roasted potatoes and sweet potatoes were ready.

Wang Jianjun made a lot at one time, leaving two roasted corns and two roasted sweet potatoes in the storage space.

These can fill his stomach when he is hungry.

I originally wanted to cook it, but I forgot to buy a pot.

Let’s leave it like this for now, the roasted corn and sweet potatoes are more fragrant.

I sat by the river and took a bite of freshly roasted corn, while admiring the not-so-beautiful scenery in the distance.

Although it lacks seasoning, the corn grown under excellent conditions tastes absolutely amazing.

Wang Jianjun said this was the most delicious corn he had ever eaten in his previous and current life.

Wang Jianjun was in a good mood as he ate the food produced in the space for the first time.

If ordinary corn can be so delicious, then other agricultural products must be no exception.

The output is just a little bit less.

The yield per mu of the first crop of corn harvested was just over 1,000 kilograms.

This is still the case when there are sufficient resources such as soil and light.

If left outside, the yield would only be around 500 to 600 kilograms.

In later generations, the high yield of corn could even reach more than 2,000 kilograms.

The research and development of high-yield grains has just begun in this era.

For example, hybrid rice was not developed until 64 and did not produce results until 73.

It took China decades of hard work to achieve food freedom.

Thinking of the natural disasters and man-made disasters that occurred a few years later, countless compatriots starved to death.

Wang Jianjun felt that he could actually do something without being exposed.

He then communicated with the space's auxiliary system to allow it to begin cultivating high-yield crops in a targeted manner.

The space auxiliary system can be said to include all advanced agricultural production scientific research technologies.

As long as Wang Jianjun provides enough biological samples and the cheating ability of ten times acceleration in space, results will be achieved soon.

After eating the roasted corn, Wang Jianjun began to build his first bed.

He didn't want to sleep on the floor again tonight.

The structure of a bamboo bed is not complicated.

I tried hard to recall the bamboo bed I slept on when I was a child.

Then take out a pen and paper to write and draw.

Finally, we started to communicate with the auxiliary functions to process the bamboo according to the drawings.

These bamboos have been chopped down and placed in the space for accelerated growth. Although they have not yet completely dried out and their surfaces are still green, Wang Jianjun can't wait.

With a thought, the thick bamboo was cut into pieces in the next moment.

The next step is to punch holes, cut strips, splice them together and then fix them with bamboo pins.

After a final polishing of the surface, a single bamboo bed appeared in front of him.

Looking at the smooth and clean bamboo bed in front of him, although Wang Jianjun watched it from beginning to end, he still found it magical.

The workmanship is even better than those of the old craftsmen.

Because it is processed by an auxiliary system, there is no error in size.

It fits almost seamlessly when assembled.

Wang Jianjun couldn't even hear the unique creaking sound of the bamboo bed when he sat on it.

The next step is to stand the test of time.

After all, I am not a professional, and I also need to consider the problem of the bed being deformed by stress after long-term use.

But it's still okay to sleep for a while.

With a thought, the next moment Wang Jianjun brought the bamboo bed back to the room.

Lying on the bamboo bed, Wang Jianjun couldn't help but stretching. The cool touch of the bamboo made him feel comfortable when sleeping.

The only drawback is that there is no woman around to share with me.

Wang Jianjun felt the heat in his body and couldn't help complaining. Could it be that the modification of this genetic medicine has side effects?

With the bamboo bed, Wang Jianjun slept very comfortably that night.

It's just that the erotic dreams are a bit disturbing.

Unfortunately, the beautiful dream eventually came to an end, and the regret when he woke up made Wang Jianjun feel a little depressed.

The girl in the dream was so beautiful, but it was a pity that I couldn’t see her face clearly.

After savoring the dream for a while, Wang Jianjun smacked his lips.

It seems I need to find a matchmaker to ask. I am 21 years old this year, which is the legal age for marriage.

I have no sleep during the long night. If this continues, it will seriously affect my sleep.

When I got up early and went out of the house, I saw an old lady walking towards the backyard with a bowl of cornmeal porridge, two steamed buns and a plate of pickles.

This should be food delivered to the old deaf man.

The old lady felt a little embarrassed when she saw Wang Jianjun.

This is neither saying hello nor not saying hello.

Wang Jianjun knew that this old lady was a rare good person in this den of beasts.

But she is Yi Zhonghai's wife after all.

As for whether Wang Jianjun knew about what Yi Zhonghai had done, it was hard to judge.

Wang Jianjun didn't want to be embarrassed, so he walked past the old lady and headed towards the front yard.

When passing by the Intermediate Courtyard, I happened to see Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu and Jia Dongxu who were getting ready to go out together.

Seeing Wang Jianjun coming out in his factory uniform, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but ask:

"Wang Jianjun, you also work in the steel mill?"

"Yeah, can't you?"

Seeing that Wang Jianjun didn't look at him well, Jia Dongxu looked a little unhappy, but he still suppressed his anger and asked:

"Then why didn't I see you go to work in the workshop yesterday?"

Wang Jianjun rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's none of your business. Do you know me well?"

After saying that, he ignored the three people and walked straight out of the yard.

"You! Master, look at his character!"

Jia Dongxu was very angry at Wang Jianjun's attitude.

"Forget it, don't bother with him. As long as he's still working at the steel mill, we can always deal with him."

He Yuzhu on the side rolled his eyes and whispered:

"Uncle, how about we put a sack on him on his way home from get off work? Even if he is a good fighter, can he defend himself against our sneak attacks?"

Yi Zhonghai thought this was a good idea, but it was difficult to agree to it openly, so he changed the subject:

"Okay, let's go to work. If you don't leave now, you'll be late."

Then he glanced at He Yuzhui, and from his expression he knew that this guy must be planning to trick Wang Jianjun.
