Cats grow fields in the apocalyptic wasteland
Chapter 110 Site Selection
In the terraced fields, there are only a few acres of fields still planted with late rice.
In other fields, the rice has been harvested, and there are only rice stubbles and eels in it, or the fields have been plowed and planted with winter vegetables such as radish and mustard.
The two kept walking, but before they reached the rice field at home, they heard the sound of lingling from the stream beside the rice paddy. It was the sound of the stream flowing over the stone.
The water in the ditch halfway up the mountain is flowing from the water inlet to the rice fields, and then out of the ditch from the water outlet, flowing all the way down the mountain.
Xia Lunong approached the rice field, and at a glance saw many fish gathering at the bamboo strips in front of the water outlet, eating the duckweed and small insects gathered by the water flow.
These fish are not afraid of people. Xia Lunong's shadow fell into the water, and the school of fish did not dodge or dodge, and continued to eat with their mouths open and closed leisurely, looking very cute.
"It's a little small." Xia Lunong squatted on the ridge of the field, stretched out his hand to gesture, and muttered: "The body of the fish is only four fingers wide, and it weighed half a catty to death."
Kong Zhi followed him and bent down to look at him, saying: "The fish in the rice fields don't grow big, so it's almost the same."
Kong Zhi said as he stretched out his hand to catch the fish.
He had quick eyesight and quick hands, caught one accurately, took two or three breaths, and there were six more carps in the dustpan.
These carp seem to be small, but they are very fat when they eat, with a round belly that bulges out on both sides.
Suddenly out of the water, the carp jumped in the dustpan, crackling and slapping the dustpan, full of vitality.
Kong Zhi wanted to catch him again, but Xia Lunong grabbed his wrist, and said dumbfoundingly: "It's almost enough, just enough for one meal, if you catch him again, we won't be able to finish it."
Kong Zhi gave a "hmm", retracted his hand, and went to pick up the weed stalks growing beside the rice field.
The folded weeds are twisted into a strand two or three times, pass through the fish's gills, come out from the fish's mouth, and then tie them into knots.
A string of carp is ready to wear.
Xia Lunong mentioned it, and estimated that this string of carp weighed more than three catties, even if it was cleaned up, it would still weigh more than two catties.
After catching the fish, the two checked the condition of the rice.
The ears of rice have turned yellow. When you squeeze a grain into your mouth and bite it, the rice pulp inside is just filling, which is far from being mature.
Xia Lunong estimated that the rice would not be harvested until the wheat had been harvested.
Kong Zhi not only looked at the rice fields, but also made a special trip around the wheat fields, catching more than two catties of loach and a few eels.
There are relatively few eels, and most of them are only caught after digging the hole in the field ridge and poking in to find it.
Field eels and loaches were placed in the dustpan and jumped around.
Xia Lunong said: "It would be great if we brought a bucket, we should all be dead when we go back."
Kong Zhi: "I fly back?"
"It's not worth it because of this stutter." Xia Lunong smiled, "Let's just walk back slowly."
The two walked down the field ridge.
The mountain wind blew on them through the bamboo forest, and their clothes were blown up.
Xia Lunong opened her hands behind her to let the autumn wind blow over her body, with a smile on her face.
Kong Zhi silently guarded behind him, not urging him.
The two returned to the vegetable field, picked vegetables and went home.
Xia Huoqu and Yan Xinian haven't come back yet.
It was not yet eleven o'clock.
Kong Zhi put down his things and said, "I'm going to pull weeds in the vegetable field, and I'll be back later."
"There's no rush right now." Xia Lunong grabbed his wrist, "Let's go together tomorrow and make lunch first."
Kong Zhi is not the kind of person who likes to get together with others, he is tired of being crooked, but today he is willing.
Xia Lunong didn't say anything, but when she was with him, her mood also rose, and she kept humming softly.
Kong Zhi's mood also became very good.
Kong Zhi can sing most of the songs he can sing, sometimes he will echo, and sometimes he just listens silently.
Sometimes Xia Lunong will deliberately switch to foreign language songs, and Kong Zhi can mostly keep up.
Kong Zhi removed the scales and viscera of the six carp, cleaned them, and handed them to Xia Lunong, "Marinate now?"
"Yes." Xia Lunong took the pot containing the carp, added chili powder, salt powder, cinnamon, pepper, etc., and kneaded the cleaned fish.
After kneading, Xia Lunong didn't put it on the plate to marinate. Instead, he pulled out the straw from the firewood pile, passed it through the fish's mouth, skewered the fish, took it outside, and hung it on the branch of a certain pepper tree.
Xia Lunong stood on tiptoe, hung up the fish, and pushed aside some, so that each fish could fully expose to the sun and wind.
Kong Zhi crossed his arms, "What is this?"
Xia Lunong: "After air drying, the fish meat will be firmer when you eat it. It will have the same meat as garlic cloves. The taste is similar to salted fish, but it will not have the salty taste of salted fish. Instead, it will be a little more delicious."
On the way of cooking, Kong Zhi and Xia Lunong were far apart, he listened and asked, "Do you want to prepare any special ingredients?"
"No, chop the green and red vitex into fine pieces, and use the refined lard and oil residue to make this dish later."
After Xia Lunong finished speaking, she felt something move around her, and when she turned her head, it was Xia Huajiao.
Xia Huajiao just woke up, and extended a branch to wrap around Xia Lunong's shoulders, greeting him.
Xia Lunong checked its condition and saw that it was growing well. At this moment, it was about to move, trying to break free from the soil to play, so she stretched out her hand to hold it, "Honestly, plant it in the soil for a few days, otherwise it won't grow taller. "
"Hoo--" Xia Huajiao rubbed the branch against Xia Lunong's wrist coquettishly.
Xia Lunong was unmoved, "It's useless to act like a baby, if you're dishonest, I won't give you the power these few days."
"Hoo." Xia Huajiao made a short sound weakly, drooping the branches in frustration.
While Xia Lunong was cooking, Yan Xiannian and Xia Huoqu came back.
The sun was shining outside, and both of them were sweating from the heat. The first thing they did when they came back was to go back to Yan Xinian's place to wash their faces, take a shower and change their clothes.
It was hot at noon, and the windows in the rooms on both sides were opened, and a strong fragrance could be smelled as soon as they went out.
Yan Xiannian came over dressed in slippers and shorts, and asked, "What's for lunch?"
"Carp." Xia Lunong said, "Kong Zhi caught it."
"Well, the food is good."
"Brother." Xia Lunong turned his head to look at his brother who came in behind, and asked after greeting him, "How is your discussion on the credit currency system going?"
Yan Xinian leaned against the door frame, "We are discussing to promote the credit currency. The main thing is to have the backing of materials. The property management committee was originally short of materials, but now it is almost the same. We plan to implement it in the cafeteria first, and use credit currency instead of meal tickets. .”
Xia Lunong asked: "Is it linked to metal currencies such as gold?"
Yan Xianian shook his head, "Of course not."
Yan Xinian: "It's just the credit currency system inside the base, plus precious metals, which are easily affected. How to do it, we have to discuss it again, and we have to contact Lao Liu and the others to see what they think."
Saying that, Yan Xiannian informed them together by the way, "Now it is tentatively scheduled to hold a meeting the night after tomorrow, and you and Kong Zhi will attend together at that time."
Xia Lunong nodded.
After Yan Xinian finished talking about the affairs in the base, he asked, "Take the honeysuckle body out to plant in the afternoon?"
"Yes, we have to mow more grass to feed the cows." Xia Lunong said, "Go to the market tomorrow to inquire and see if there are grass seeds."
Yan Xiannian: "I've asked about this, but I haven't for the time being. Grass is not common, and people usually don't pay attention to it when collecting supplies. I'll spread the news and see if anyone can get some later."
Xia Lunong looked at the gurgling fish in the pot and felt his head hurt a little, "That's the only way, then let's take some soybeans out in the afternoon, plant some beans first, and feed them with grass."
Yan Xi Nian said: "No rush, it's really not possible, we hire someone to go out to herd cattle every day."
Xia Lunong said: "Ordinary people can't guarantee their own safety outside at all. Those who are able to ensure safety have gone out to collect supplies. Who cares about herding cattle?"
"It's more convenient to grow pasture. After two months, it will be cold, and the grass will turn yellow, and there will be no suitable pasture outside. We have to store feed in advance."
"That's true." Yan Xiannian asked, "What kind of grass do you want? Grass grass or legume grass?"
Xia Lunong was at a loss, "What's the difference between these two? Which one is better for cattle?"
Yan Xinian shook his head, "I don't know much about this. Grasses mainly refer to ryegrass and brome, which can be mowed repeatedly and grow quickly. Leguminous grasses are probably alfalfa. Taste better."
Xia Lunong: "If you can find it, you need both? Anyway, there is a lot of land outside the base. We plant one is also planted, and planted two are also planted."
Yan Xinian smiled: "Then I'll talk to them and let them look for more, any variety is fine, the more the better."
"Yes! That's what it means!"
The two chatted, and the soup in the pot had thickened.
Xia Lunong put the carp on a large porcelain plate, piled the green and red two wattles on top, scooped up the soup, poured it on it, and sprinkled chopped green onion on it.
The strong fragrance wafted all over the room.
Yan Xiannian could no longer lean against the door frame leisurely, he took two quick steps, ran to get the bowls and chopsticks, washed them with hot water, and served them with rice.
The main course at noon is cooking carp.
Everyone sat at the table, and the first chopsticks pinched the carp.
Xia Lunong picked up a piece of fish skin with chopsticks first.
Ordinary fish skin will be fishy, but today's carp skin has no such fishy smell at all. It is dried first and then fried to completely transform the fishy smell of fish skin into a kind of fragrance.
The fish skin soaked up the soup and became soft and glutinous. When he bit it down, the aroma of chili, wine, and sauce spread in his mouth, making him want to swallow his tongue.
After eating the fish skin, quickly take two mouthfuls of fragrant and oily hot rice, and it will be refreshing to eat with big mouthfuls.
After eating the fish skin, Xia Lunong turned to the fish meat.
After most of the fish is cooked, the fish meat is relatively woody. When you pick it up with chopsticks, the fish meat will fall apart.
The carp meat he dried this time will not fall apart at all.
Instead, he picked up a fish as white as a garlic clove.
He lightly dipped the fish in the plate, wrapped it in the soup, and put it in his mouth in one bite.
The unique umami taste of the fish is stimulated to the greatest extent, and it bursts in the mouth instantly. The peculiar taste of the air-dried fish is even more addictive, coupled with the rich sauce, it makes the index finger move.
Several people ate hard and expressed their greatest respect for this dish with their actions.
There were several dishes on the table, and a few people ate them all in a hurry, without even throwing up their bones.
After the meal, several people drank hot tea, and then moved to the living room to eat watermelon.
The watermelons are grown in the courtyard, and there are not many left in total.
When Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi came back in the morning, they picked the watermelon and put it in the water tank. Now it's just right, it's cool and refreshing. Take a bite, it's full of the refreshing fruity scent of watermelon.
Yan Xiannian narrowed his eyes happily, "Fortunately, we are active now, otherwise we will become fat sooner or later."
Xia Huoqu kicked Yan Xiannian, who had finished eating the watermelon, to wash the dishes, then turned to ask Xia Lunong, "Did you go out this afternoon and plant the honeysuckle itself?"
"Well. Let's cut some more grass." Xia Lunong asked, "Brother, what do you think of planting honeysuckle in the field a little below the base? It's the big piece of land on the left every time we drive out of the base."
Xia Huoqu thought for a while, "It's too close, it will cause the base people to panic, let's take a look again."
In other fields, the rice has been harvested, and there are only rice stubbles and eels in it, or the fields have been plowed and planted with winter vegetables such as radish and mustard.
The two kept walking, but before they reached the rice field at home, they heard the sound of lingling from the stream beside the rice paddy. It was the sound of the stream flowing over the stone.
