Survive through the ancient apocalypse

During dinner time, the main room of Jiang's house.

There are nearly [-] people in Jiang's family, sitting at three tables.Mrs. Jiang looked at the big bowl of braised chicken in front of her and Mrs. Jiang, and saw the same situation at the other two tables. At first, she frowned slightly, then smiled, and joked: "Daughter-in-law, why don't you Every time I go to see my eldest grandson, can I not fail? There is such a good thing, even I want to go shopping."

"Mother-in-law, that's the filial piety of the Jingzhi couple, and it's our family's blessing. Look, how many daughters and sons of other families steal things from their natal families after they get married? Especially in this world, if you want to get something from them, That is extremely difficult." Speaking of her eldest son, Jiang's mother was radiant.

After the Jiang family settled down in Yejia Village, they did as the Romans did, and the rules of eating were not so big, and they would talk and laugh occasionally.

"Ye's Village is a good place. After arriving here, our family has never been short of fish." Old Mr. Jiang expressed his satisfaction with the original decision. There is no shortage of everything here, and there is really no shortage of fish.

"Well, among other things, at least it's much better than when we were in Beimo Village!" Elder Jiang ate boiled krill, feeling very emotional.If there is another jug ​​of wine, don't mention how beautiful that day is!It's a pity that wine is a rarity now, and Ye's home brew is used for medical purposes, so there is really no place to buy it.There are still wines in the county, but the price is slightly higher.Well, next time you go to the city, you can exchange some seafood, but there should be no objection if you exchange a little.

This is also because seafood is valuable this year, and Yejiacun has a lot of seafood in stock, which makes it possible to exchange seafood for wine.In previous years, there was not enough seafood to exchange for urgently needed supplies. How could there be any extra to exchange for wine?When I went back to the county seat, the people of Yejia Village hadn't changed their thinking, so they didn't think about this problem at all, so they naturally forgot to change the wine.

"Master, are you gluttonous?" Mrs. Jiang asked, but her tone was very certain.They have been husband and wife for more than [-] years, how can she not know what her husband thinks?Mr. Jiang has no other hobbies, so he likes to order wine.When I was in Beimo Village, due to the situation at that time, I seldom had a drink, so I passed it after I endured it.After coming here, everything else has improved, only this wine is only a little bit more than what he drank in Beimo Village, and he has long been hungry.At this time, when his wife said this, Mr. Jiang was very old, and he blushed a little.

"You still know I'm sorry? It's over. I can't finish the seafood at home. Next time I go to the city, I will change to a bar!" Mrs. Jiang agreed very simply.Mrs. Jiang's family is the head of the Jiang family, so she would not break her promise when she promised.

Jiang's house was full of joy, and Ye's house was full of joy and laughter.There were two little puppies, Li Xue and Li Zhen, and now there are two more babies, Ye Jiahui and Ye Jiayao, who are not yet full moon. The main house of the Ye family is even more lively.

Ever since it was not under the control of the imperial court, there was no such thing as banquets in Yejia Village.All pig-killing feasts and birth ceremonies have been cancelled, and even weddings and ceremonies are only invited to close relatives.The Ye family also followed the trend, so the three rites were naturally avoided.There is a full moon ceremony left, and after everyone's discussion, they decided to gather their relatives together.

Although only four relatives were invited, there were quite a lot of people. There were six to seventy people in total, including the Ye family's own family, and there would be nearly ten tables.

Time flies, and soon it will be Ye Jiahui Ye Jiayao's full moon day.The banquet was opened very early, and there was no room for the main room, and the other tables were placed in the courtyard of the Ye family's main house.The Ye family didn't hire a special chef, they transferred a few people from other yards, and they all stayed in the kitchen all year round, working very neatly.Due to the sufficient manpower, it didn't take long for the dishes to be served on the table one after another.

In order to make it easier for each family to pack leftovers after the banquet, the Ye family took a lot of effort in arranging the seats. Except for a few men in charge who set up a table in the main room, the others tried to arrange the whole family at the same table.Now the Ye family doesn't pay attention to how many bowls they want, they only take auspicious numbers, nine dishes are served on each table.Although there are not many types of dishes, they are very affordable.Several meat dishes are served in large bowls, and when nine dishes are placed there, the table is basically occupied, and even meals can only be served in small bowls.

Farmers are used to eating in large bowls, and suddenly they changed to small bowls. It's really uncomfortable, but no one will complain about it.This is the Ye family subsidizing them, how could they be so ignorant.The Ye family had already said that they would be the ones who could eat up all the food on the table. The women all smiled when they heard this, and even the man in charge was rarely happy.

Not to mention the adults, the children are even more happy.As relatives of the Ye family, they can eat meat and vegetables for ten days and half a month.It's just that every time I get meat, for several meals, the taste of meat disappears before I can taste it.Unlike today, you can eat with an open stomach.Before the dishes are on the table, the noisy children in the past all stand by the table in advance, for fear that they will lose their share if they leave for a while.

It is a rare happy event, the adults no longer restrain the children, but always pay attention not to let them be greedy for too much, especially fat meat, let alone eat too much, lest they eat too much meat at once and the stomach will not be digested.Everyone is happy, it is not beautiful to eat a bad stomach.

After the main table moved its chopsticks, there was only the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding at other tables.Seafood is not a rare thing for everyone, Ye's family only served a plate of large yellow croaker, focusing on other meat dishes.For this banquet, Jiang graciously slaughtered a pig.Braised pork, spicy rabbit meat, whole chicken, pork stewed eggs, pork stewed vermicelli, pork ribs and seaweed soup, roasted venison and steamed taro, one dish is placed on the table, except for steamed taro, the other eight dishes are all meat dishes , and several of them are pure meat dishes.Every dish is full, high above the rim of the bowl.

The most precious of these is the roast venison.It was also a coincidence that the big leopard caught an adult male deer a few days ago, and Ye Mingze left some of the venison to marinate for a little while, and let his relatives try it today.The second is pheasant and hare, which can barely be counted as mountain delicacy. Although the Ye family often eats it, relatives don’t have too many opportunities to eat it.

When the children saw the meat, they didn't swarm up to grab it. Most of them picked up the vegetables in front of them to eat, and asked their parents to help them if they couldn't reach them.This also reflects from the side that the relatives of the Ye family are doing well, otherwise the children would have been snapping up.

"Mom, these eggs are so delicious." Ye Shu's third son, Wang Cang, was just eight years old this year, and he was still young, so he spoke very directly.

It was also the first time for Ye Shu to eat pork stewed with eggs.The eggs were slashed a few times, and the aroma of pork permeated into it. The taste is beyond words, no wonder her youngest son likes it.Ye Shu's family is not short of eggs, they used to exchange oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, but now they are digested by their own family. Although she has a lot of family members, it is no problem to eat eggs every few days.Originally, everyone didn't take the eggs seriously, and they all rushed to chopsticks for the rare dishes.Who would have thought of making it in a different way, the taste is so different from boiled egg custard.

If Wang Cang hadn't moved his chopsticks and said loudly that it was delicious, they might not have discovered its deliciousness until the end.

With Wang Cang taking the lead, others tried it one after another, and most of them were full of praise after eating it.When everyone wanted to clip another one, they found that it was gone.At this time, the adults remembered that the eggs in this dish are distributed according to the head, no matter adults or children, as long as they can eat eggs, each person has one.The adults looked awkward, and in order to ease the embarrassment, they had no choice but to pretend that they were picking up meat, and each of them picked up a piece of pork.The children didn't know how to hide it. Seeing that the eggs were gone, all of them showed regret, and began to switch to other dishes resentfully.The grown-ups let out a sigh of relief when they saw it. It would be really not beautiful if the children made a fuss.

The members of the Ye family watched from afar and reported to Jiang about the situation during the banquet.After Jiang found out about it, he asked the person in charge of the kitchen and found out that there were still nearly thirty boiled eggs, so he asked them to stew them all, and when the banquet was over, he would share some with each family, which was regarded as a gift in return.

This time the full moon feast was full of joy for the guests and the host. Although there was no wine, they ate for more than half an hour.When the meal was about the same, the women began to help tidy up. Although the Ye family signaled that someone would clean up, the relatives expressed embarrassment to eat and take, so they had to clean up together.Otherwise, they will be too embarrassed to come to dinner next time.After hearing this, the Ye family could only tell the servants to move faster and shorten the cleaning time as much as possible.Since the banquet opened early, the sky was still bright when the crowd dispersed.

Among the four relatives of the Ye family, Ye Shu's family is worse.All the other three families are relatives of the Ye family, only Ye Shu's family is related.Every time the Ye family gave something, Ye Shu and his wife would give half of it to the in-law's family out of filial piety, and it was the same this time.

Because Ye's family had dinner early, when Ye Shu's family arrived home, Ye Shu's mother-in-law and the others were still having dinner.When the meat dishes were put before the eyes of the Wang family, the younger ones were already eager to try, but due to the majesty of the adults, they didn't dare to put their chopsticks immediately.

Granny Ye Shu thought about it, went into the kitchen and took a few empty bowls, and divided them into half.It's rare that the dishes are so rich, let the children have a good time!Ye Shu has four children. Her family was allocated six eggs, but only took two out.Grandma Ye Shu saw that there were only two eggs, but there were several children, so she divided them into two. The smallest four got half an egg each.

"Second sister, it's delicious, eat it, eat it!" The youngest child is only three years old, and he is not very articulate, but he already knows how to love his family.

"Your brother gave it, you can eat it!"

"Well, mother, it's delicious." The little girl was not too old, and she ate the small half of the egg given by her brother in small bites. She was afraid that she would eat it too quickly and it would be gone in no time. She didn't forget to grab a piece for her brother after eating. Stewed crispy and easy-to-digest pork.

The old man of the Wang family looked at his children and grandchildren loving each other, and felt very relieved.

When Wang's family went to the room, Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang finished washing, and after turning off the lights, it was difficult to fall asleep for a while, so they started chatting about the family affairs.

"Old man, I know that the eldest daughter-in-law must have kept a lot for herself, but she deserves it. If it weren't for the eldest daughter-in-law, we don't know what kind of life we ​​are living now. Every time I think of this, I can't help but feel lucky Choose to come to Yejia Village with the eldest daughter-in-law to make a home."

"Yeah, my hometown is not near the sea, and I can't even afford to eat fish. It's not as safe as Yejia Village. Once the village gate is closed, it's not easy to enter Yejia Village to rob." Mr. Wang did not forget to tell Mrs. Wang, "Once or twice is no problem. , The number of times is too many, the other daughters-in-law may have knots in their hearts, you should pay more attention to them, and explain the facts to them. If anyone is dissatisfied, let her come and tell me, an old man, what dissatisfaction she can have. No Without the eldest daughter-in-law, can they have a good life now? Let alone the earthquake, if we were still in Wangjia Village, it is still unknown how many lives we can live now."

"Sure, I'll listen to you. Fortunately, the daughters-in-law are pretty good people. They don't need to be strong, and they make troubles all day long about trivial matters. They understand very well that no one can offend the eldest daughter-in-law. A few sour words in my own room can't make a big wave."

"Be careful, there is no big mistake, just pay attention."

"Well, I'll keep an eye out."

In the Ye family's main house, Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi's room, Ye Jiahui and Ye Jiayao were rarely sober, staring at the bright red tomato in Ye Mingze's hand without blinking.Wherever the tomato is moved, the eyes of the two will turn there.Ye Mingze repeated the same action tirelessly, until the two sons became impatient, and then stuffed the tomatoes into their hands, one for each.Tomatoes are not small, so the sons can't hold them.It seems that the two children are holding each other, but Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi bear most of the weight.

Jiahui Jiayao got the tomatoes, like a general returning from victory, kicking his legs wildly, patting the tomatoes restlessly with his hands, grinning from time to time, showing their toothless smiles to people.

"Aren't these two kids more like you, who love to laugh so much?" Ye Mingze expressed dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong with being like me? I hope they look like me, but unfortunately, except for the eyes and mouth, the face and nose look like you." Jiang Jingzhi held the tomato in one hand, and lightly touched Jia Yao's eyebrows with the other.

"The two children will grow up really well, so pick the best ones. The face shape is like mine, which means you are masculine, ha ha!"

"You should be smug! The child is still young, and he looks like it now, but it may not be the case in the future." Jiang Jingzhi expressed dissatisfaction.

"Okay, I won't be poor with you. How long has it been since we ate beef? I'm thinking hard now. Tomato beef soup tastes good."

"Has it been a few months? It seems that I haven't eaten beef since the ice and snow melted." Jiang Jingzhi didn't have the habit of eating beef before, and it was all developed after coming to Ye's house.Three cattle died during the earthquake, and one was distributed to the servants of the Ye family.The other two ends were divided among the relatives, and the rest of the Ye family, no matter how economical they were to eat, had consumed it for nearly half a year.

Fortunately, the three calves that Ye Mingze brought back from the border town survived, and now they have all grown into strong cattle.With any luck, the two cows should be able to give birth to calves next year.

"How many crops is this? It seems that there are still some blooming crops. I should be able to harvest a few more crops." Ye Mingze pointed to the tomatoes in his hand, expressing his amazement at such a long fruit-bearing period.

"It seems to be the third crop. The first harvest was about eight days after the child was born, and the second was about ten days ago. This is the third time. It matures about every ten days or so." Tomatoes are Jiang Jingzhi Those who take care of themselves will naturally remember clearly.

"This is really a big surprise. Calculated as less, each tomato can harvest at least a dozen catties, which is equivalent to nearly one-tenth of the yield of an acre of land. I really don't know. I was shocked when I counted it." After some calculations, Ye Mingze was startled by the approximate figure he estimated.

"It's not your calculation. Think about it, in the entire Ye Family Village, excluding our family, how many wood-type supernatural powers are there? There are less than 30 people, and there is only one in four or five families on average. Do you think there are too many people? ?”

"That's what you said. But at least those who have wood-type supernatural powers will have a better life. Hey, don't care about them. We have a lot of supernatural powers in our family. I have a foresight! If I hadn't bought those two hundred Our family doesn’t know what will happen to the first batch of sentinel guides who awakened. You see, now I have made meritorious service. The natural awakening is the third-level sentinel guide, and the proportion of people with supernatural powers is as high as 50.00%. Just these 200 people , there are more than 100 people with supernatural powers. Counting you, our family has exactly twenty wood-type superhumans, so we don’t have to worry about food in the future.” Ye Mingze once again rejoiced at the time, and would rather live in a tight situation for a while. These people should also be bought.

"I haven't been to the field for a long time. I heard that the corn seems to be ripe soon?"

"Well, it's just one piece of land, a little less. Other crops are almost the same, but potatoes, sweet potatoes, wheat, etc. can be harvested in one crop, unlike tomatoes, which can be harvested for several crops. Tomatoes cannot be staple food after all. No amount of more can keep your stomach full, but fortunately, corn is similar to tomatoes, and I believe that the yield per mu of corn in that part of the land will be higher than ever before." Although the grain has not yet grown, according to the growth of tomatoes, I believe that the same process will be carried out through wood. The output of other crops that are taken care of by supernatural beings will not be too low.Thinking of this, even Ye Mingze, who has seen the big world, couldn't help but brighten his eyes.

"I didn't expect the tomato output to be so large, so I didn't record it when picking it. Don't forget when the corn and the like are harvested." Jiang Jingzhi took care of Ye Mingze while taking care of the two children.Watching Jiahui Jiayao being teased by his unscrupulous father screamed, he quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Don't keep teasing them, the child should go to sleep."

Ye Mingze saw that it was really not early, so he and Jiang Jingzhi were in charge of coaxing them to sleep.Judging by the familiar movements of the two of them, they must have done such things a lot.

Jiahui Jiayao looked very excited today, and he still couldn't forget the bright red tomatoes after picking them up.It took Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi a lot of work to put their sons to sleep.

This year, Yejia Village was very cold at night in September, and the two little buns were tightly wrapped and lay neatly in the cradle.When the kang is burned in a few days, the two children will be moved to the kang.At that time, a small area will be separated by wooden boards in the kang to prevent them from being crushed.

The routine of the two children followed the adults, and they didn't stay up all night to toss them.Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi were taking care of their children for the first time, and they didn't know how easy it was to take care of their own children.According to Jiang and Yeats, most children were very noisy. If there was a baby in the family, it was likely that the whole family would not be able to sleep well.Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi couldn't help being very glad to hear that, at least their children love them, and they rarely cry for no reason.

The oil lamp went out with a "pop", and the room was suddenly dark.The long night is long, I hope everyone can have a good dream.

Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi have a lot of things to do. After Jiahui and Jiayao's full moon, they will be handed over to Jiang's three mothers and daughters during the day, and sent back to their room at night.The two little guys are still eating, eating and sleeping, so it's not troublesome to bring them up.The two little cousins, Li Xue and Li Zhen, were very fond of them. When the two little buns were awake, they teased them from time to time until they made them laugh. The two brothers also grinned, very happy.When Jiang and the others saw each other, they couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear.These four children are really similar when they smile, except that two of them have no teeth, so they look toothless.

Jiang Jingzhi was bored in the house for a long time. After the ban was lifted this time, he had a hasty breakfast and rushed to the fields impatiently.

After entering September, the temperature dropped, and the roof of the awning began to be lifted every day.The temperature is low in the morning, and the shed is tightly covered.Fortunately, when the shed was originally designed, it was built higher than a person. Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi shuttled through it without bowing their heads.

Most crops grow slowly.At this time in previous years, the early-maturing varieties have already been harvested. This year, depending on their growth, at least until the end of September and the beginning of October.

Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi didn't delay on the road, and they didn't stop until they came to a corn field with particularly gratifying growth.The wood-type supernatural being in charge of this cornfield has long been busy in the field.He doesn't have much to do, he just needs to stand next to the corn and release the wood ability.This job looks easy, but it is actually very labor-intensive.The ability is close to the empty space, just like being tired and wanting to sleep, very uncomfortable.But it's not bad to do so, the ability is often practiced, and the level will be improved faster.

Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi greeted the person in charge, signaling him to take care of himself and leave them alone, and began to wander around the cornfield.Yifen is really small enough, and the two of them walked around for a while and looked it over.Ye Mingze saw that there were a few corn cobs, and the beards had begun to turn black. He opened them and looked at them. Although they were a little tender, they were barely edible.After counting the number of people in the Ye family, Ye Mingze broke off five or six corn cobs, which was exactly half of each person.

Corn is not the earliest mature crop. Since the corn is mature, other crops that mature earlier should be edible.Sure enough, Ye Mingze dug it open and saw that the sweet potatoes, peanuts, and taro were ripe.Just depending on the situation, these crops should grow some more, so the two just dug a nest of each to taste the freshness.Ye Mingze weighed the nest of potatoes in his hand, the weight was not light, and the other items were about the same weight.

When they walked through the bean field, the two pulled out another edamame. The salted peanuts and edamame both taste good. They can be eaten as a side dish or as a snack. I believe children will like it.

Although there are only a few things, it is full of a big basket.When Zhang Sen dumped the things in the yard in front of the main house, everyone who saw them couldn't help but exclaimed.After the Ye family heard about it, they also put down their work and went out to visit.

"Mingze, are these grown by our family?" Ye Zewu has worked in farming all his life, and has never seen such a high yield.He personally weighed them on a steelyard. Potatoes weighed four taels a catty, sweet potatoes weighed eight taels a catty, taro not counting the mother of taro was nine taels, if counted it was almost a catty and a half, peanuts eight taels, green beans seven taels.

You said that a large potato in modern times weighs half a catty. What is this weight?Don't forget, this was during the Daxing Dynasty, and the sweet potato with the highest yield per mu was only nearly 660 catties.One mu of land is 660 square meters. Even if one square meter is only planted with one nest of potatoes, the calculation is less, and the yield per mu is as high as [-] seven catties. The yield of potatoes per mu will be close to one thousand catties.This figure is astonishing enough, at least the Ye family has never heard of such a high-yielding crop.In fact, it is impossible to plant only one nest per square meter, and it is not a big problem to plant one hundred nests of potatoes per mu.I really don't know, I was shocked.

This is not the highest yield per mu. The yield of sweet potatoes is larger, and the yield per mu can easily reach a thousand catties.Everyone was lamenting the bumper harvest this year, and then thought that this was due to the wood-type supernatural beings, and the other crops had normal yields, and the joy that had just risen fell back.

"Don't be discouraged. We have [-] wood-type supernatural beings in our family. In addition to increasing the yield, they can also shorten the growth time of crops. The crops that usually take four to five months to mature, under their care, can be harvested in three to four months. They are ripe. After these crops are harvested, we will build a better greenhouse for them in the backyard, and maybe we can harvest another season this year. When they become more senior and can take care of more fields, our family will no longer have to worry about food. I'm worried." Ye Mingze cheered up everyone present, and painted a bright future for them.

After hearing Ye Mingze's words, everyone suddenly became enlightened, as if seeing the sun through the clouds.Afterwards, the audience slowly dispersed, what they were doing before and what they are doing now.

After Ye Mingze and Jiang Jingzhi cleaned themselves up, they went back to their room to rest.

"Mingze, why is the yield of tomatoes so high? No other crops can compare with it." Jiang Jingzhi was very confused. The ability level is the same, so there is no reason why the yield is so different. "Could it be because of the different number of care?"

"I can't find any other reason, it should be what you think. Each of them takes care of one piece of land, which is the maximum range they can take care of. The total amount of abilities is about the same, the more the number of care, the more each crop can enjoy Naturally, there will be fewer supernatural powers. Supernatural powers are like nutrients. If there are fewer nutrients, the crop yield will naturally be low. You are only in charge of three tomatoes. If they have enough nutrients, the yield will naturally increase."

"That's right, if they were all like tomatoes, and each plant could harvest at least a dozen catties, wouldn't the yield per mu be as high as ten thousand catties, and everyone wouldn't have to work!" Jiang Jingzhi felt that he was too ideal. Such a good thing?
