Survive through the ancient apocalypse

The school of fish was huge, and Ye Mingze and the others cast seven nets.Each net is less than four to five hundred catties, and more is as high as seven or eight hundred catties.The amount caught this time was four to five thousand catties by visual estimation.The people didn't put the fish in the baskets, and went back home directly.This weight is close to the load limit of this fishing boat.No matter how much, it is estimated that this fishing boat will not be able to bear it.

The harvest this time was equivalent to the total catches of about [-] trips to sea in the past. It can be described as a bumper harvest, and everyone was smiling.

This time was no different than the maiden voyage of this fishing boat, the pier was empty.They came back a bit late, and other fishing boats had already stopped work and docked.

Ye Mingze sent someone back to Jiang's house to ask someone to come over to help, and the rest of the people started to put fish into baskets.

This time it was a perfect cooperation between Sun Lao and Ye Mingze.Based on past experience, Mr. Sun designated a range where fish schools might appear, and then Ye Mingze determined the specific location with his super-distance vision.

December is the coldest month. In previous years, the lowest temperature can reach minus [-] degrees. This temperature is no longer suitable for human beings to do outdoor activities.

For this harvest, Ye Mingze planned to keep five hundred catties of fresh fish.With such a low temperature, there is no need to worry about it getting spoiled.As long as they are frozen in the yard, they can be kept until March, just like a natural cold storage.

This time the tuna was sold at a good price, six cents per catty, half as high as before.

During this period of time, the number of people going to sea is decreasing, and in a few days, the stock will be completely out of stock.Merchants from other places rushed to sweep goods in the last few days.This season is the most profitable time of the year for them.The low temperature makes the loss of goods on the road very small, and it can be transported farther and deeper into the inland.This also makes the fish market very busy during this time.As soon as the goods arrive, they will be eaten by the merchants immediately. There is no need to worry about not being able to sell them, because they still think that there are not enough goods.

This time the volume was large, Ye Mingze and his family dispatched two cars, and it took them twice to finish the shipment.As usual, half of the money was used to buy grain, and this time alone, more than 4000 catties of grain were recorded.

Counting the grain bought one after another, including this time, it will be no problem to eat until next year's autumn harvest, and there may even be surplus.But Ye Mingze didn't feel at ease at all.He would have to have at least three to five years of food reserves before he would stop buying.This still depends on the shelf life of the grain, otherwise he would have to buy enough grain to feed everyone for ten or eight years.

Jiang Jingzhi tightened the cotton robe on his body, his body was recovering from a serious illness, and his resistance to the cold was a little weak.He has worn more than most people, and still feels a little cold.Ye Mingze looked at it and decided to buy him a fur coat.If you can’t afford good ones, it’s not bad to buy a piece of rabbit skin and sheepskin.

This time Jiang Jingzhi came to sell fish with him in order to purchase new year's goods in advance.It is not suitable to travel after entering December, and many things have to be purchased before then.

These days there are big fairs for several days in a row, people are coming and going everywhere, and everything needed for the New Year's Day must be fully prepared during these few days.

Cat winter in Yangshan County lasts for three months and lasts until March next year.This is very strange to Jiang Jingzhi.The emperor does not need Maodong, and there is no problem traveling at any time.However, he couldn't walk freely here for such a long time, and it was difficult for him to adapt for a while.

The two of them bought a lot of odds and ends.There is no shortage of seafood at home, and the two mainly buy all kinds of meat.After the cat winter started, each room was run by itself.A few days ago, Mr. Ye distributed three months of food rations to each room according to the head, and after the cat winter started, everyone would eat their own food.Of course, the food that is distributed can only eat [-]% to [-]% full, and each family pays for the food that is not enough.

There are very few beefs sold here, Ye Mingze was lucky this time, and happened to meet someone selling old beef that was slaughtered on the spot.He bought dozens of catties.Then I bought a lot of pork, ribs, pork belly, heart, liver, etc. I didn't plan to buy fat meat and intestines.The intestines were too troublesome to deal with, he didn't like to do it himself, and naturally he didn't want to bother his family.He and Jiang Jingzhi have no shortage of meat, but the fat is too greasy, it is not good to eat too much.Later, thinking that my parents didn't have many opportunities to eat meat, I bought another ten catties of white meat.

After a few days, when the pigs in the house are slaughtered, some pork can be allocated to each room.In previous years, there were not many allocations. This year's conditions are better, so we should be able to get more allocations.

The firewood is only used to burn the kang, not to light the charcoal basin.Ye Mingze bought a few baskets of charcoal.Charcoal is not cheap, so he didn't buy more.With charcoal, you can light a brazier in the room, so that people don't have to stay on the kang, and the range of activities can be extended to the entire room.

When they got home, both of them were covered with air-conditioning, so they hurried into the house to warm up.When he calmed down, Ye Mingze took part of the mutton for Mr. Ye. They lived under the same roof, and the immediate elders still had to be filial.

You mean father and mother?There's no need to worry about this, even though they didn't live together, during the three months of Maodong, they used meals together.Ye Mingze is okay, he can cook some home-cooked food, but the taste is just the same, Jiang Jingzhi doesn't need to think about it at all.

Of course, it is impossible for Mother Ye to let the two of them cook for themselves, as there is no habit of letting the man in charge cook here.As for Jiang Jingzhi's daughter-in-law, Mother Ye immediately ruled it out as soon as she thought about it. How could a young master do this?Mother Ye sometimes thinks that marrying such an eldest daughter-in-law is a bit of a loss for his son.He doesn't know everything about his daughter's family, but when he thinks about some things that women don't know, he is relieved, it is impossible to have the best of both worlds, isn't it?

In the end, the burden of cooking naturally fell to the only two women in the family, Mother Ye and younger sister Ye Liu.Ye Mingxi looked at the things Ye Mingze bought, and they all smiled happily.This winter, they can finally eat and drink well.

This time, Jiang Jingzhi will be with everyone.After the cat winter, it's not realistic to ask Mother Qin to deliver food.

In mid-November, Ye Zequan made an engagement with the second lady of Liu County's Cheng family.Later, under the operation of Liu Xiancheng, Ye Zequan took the position of chief bookkeeper, and had joined the post a few days ago.This is a big event for the entire Yejia Village.There are more and more neighbors in Shangye's family. If you don't want to get any benefits, at least you can't offend others, right?

The days are getting colder every day, and it snows from time to time.With such a low temperature, the snow has not melted, and it is getting thicker and thicker, and the sky and the earth are everywhere white.Until one day the well water froze, and the Ye family simply used the clean snow water from the yard.

Now the daytime temperature is more than ten degrees below zero, and people have to be fully armed when they go out, otherwise it is easy to get frostbite.At this temperature, washing vegetables needs to be mixed with hot water.The whole family stayed in the house all day, and the smell in the room was not very good.Everyone try to eat with less water and try to avoid going to the toilet a few times.

Everyone was very alert at night, in case the kang fire went out and the whole family fell asleep silently.This kind of thing has happened before. Later, everyone gained experience and kept vigilant when going to bed at night, or even sent people to take turns to watch the night and supplement sleep during the day.It's all idle anyway, it doesn't matter when you sleep.

The Ye family chose the latter and burned six kangs in total.Mr. Ye's four sons take turns to take care of Mr. Ye, and the others are in charge of each other.Ye Mingze burned two kangs here, and father Ye and the three brothers took turns to take care of both sides every night.

Such days are very leisurely at the beginning, and become boring after a long time.This summer, it's hot and dry here, but I didn't expect the temperature in winter to be lower than usual.The firewood falls a bit faster.Seeing that the firewood that was originally prepared to burn for three months may only last for a little more than two months, everyone's face is not very good.

The people in Yejia Village are pretty good. When the daytime temperature is slightly higher in February next year, they can go to the nearby mountains to chop firewood.Those in cities and towns are more troublesome. It is difficult to get firewood, so we can only reduce the amount when burning the kang, and the temperature can keep the kang bed warm.In this way, people can basically only move around on the kang.As soon as you leave the kang, the temperature will be lost rapidly.Even for the short time to add fire to the kang, it needs to be tightly wrapped up.

As a result, more and more people have frostbite on their hands and feet.People in the north rarely suffer from frostbite. Every household here burns kangs. As long as there is enough firewood, the winter in the north is much better than that in the south.In many places in the south, the coldest temperature is around zero. This temperature is embarrassing. You can burn charcoal fire.If you don't burn the brazier, Ren Ren can pass.Most farmers don't use these, so frostbite is inevitable.

Unexpectedly, this year's forecast was wrong, and most people's firewood was not prepared enough, so it can be regarded as experiencing the feeling of frostbite.

But by the time most people felt something was wrong, a lot of firewood had already been burned.For the rest, no matter how much you save, half of the households will still not burn until March.At that time, each family can only figure out their own way.

There are many Ye family members, and they have prepared a lot of firewood.It could have been burned for a longer time, but now it is estimated that it will be able to be used until March.

The Ye family is in the center of the village, surrounded by houses.When entering February, some people ran out of firewood.From time to time, Ye Mingze could hear the sound of someone borrowing firewood from neighbors.Naturally, someone came to the Ye family. After borrowing a few houses, he said that the remaining houses were not enough for him, so he stopped answering the door.

When every family has nothing to borrow, those who have no firewood have to go up the mountain to cut firewood.There is no shortage of straw in the village. These can be used for cooking, but burning kang is not enough.

Several families made an appointment to go up the mountain together.The men wore thick jackets and went up the mountain during one or two hours of the day when the temperature was the highest.The snow is very thick. Fortunately, it has been piled up for several months. It is already very thick, and there is not much sinking when stepping on it.It usually took less than 10 minutes to complete the journey, but it took everyone twice as long.

This time they didn't look for the fallen branches and just started cutting the tree.This is fairly easy, there are saws in the village, and it doesn't take much time to cut down a tree.The trouble is that you have to remove the branches and get down the mountain.The road is not easy to walk, and one can imagine the hardships involved in carrying a big tree.

After carrying it home after hard work, everyone in the cold weather was still sweating.With the lessons learned this year, I believe everyone will prepare more firewood next year. It is estimated that no one would want to experience such an experience.
