Chapter 211: Preparing for Winter

The wild fruit forest was affected by hail, and the harvest was less than half of what was expected, so Jian Ning picked some small fruits from his inventory and mixed them in, and finally made up a thousand catties to make more than 200 catties of preserved fruits.

According to Jian Ning's meaning, the money from selling preserved fruits should give priority to buying a part of cotton, but due to the abnormal weather this year, it is unstable like a three-year-old child.

In the end, Jian Ning used his inventory and sold some cotton to Wang Anqing, anyway, the accumulated cotton will not be used up in a lifetime, after all, a quilt can last for several years, and the consumption is not so large.

Like white sugar, the price is forty percent cheaper, and Wang Anqing has a little extra money in his hand and continues to buy coarse grains.

However, that bit of cotton is spread to every household, it is not enough to see, so the collection of dandelions, miscanthus grass wadding on the agenda, cotton is not enough miscanthus grass to make up, not to mention more warmth, stuffed in the quilt cover is a little warmer than hay anyway.

After picking miscanthus wadding, another hunt was arranged, this hunt did not store the jerky, except for the water and distributed to the villagers according to the amount, the rest of the meat was all made into bacon, meat sauce, vacuum braised meat, etc. and sold to Wei Er, and once again exchanged for nearly 30,000 catties of coarse grain, which was twice as much as the last time.

The price of grain has risen, otherwise if you hunt frantically for more than half a month, you can at least exchange for 50,000 catties of coarse grain.

More than 8,000 acres of land in Shuimo Village, according to the normal year, one acre of land is harvested in more than 1,000 acres of land, there should be more than 4 million catties of grain, but this year's total harvest is less than 500,000 catties, which is still the reason for planting a large number of sweet potatoes and potatoes to have these 500,000 catties of grain.

500,000 yuan is not enough.

Wang Anqing was bold, only handed over 300,000 catties of public grain, who knows, he had the courage to leave 200,000 catties of rations for the villagers, and handed over 300,000 catties of grain to get a few words of commendation.

If it had been in the past, he would have been dizzy with joy when he was rewarded by his superiors, but after paying the public rations, his intestines were repentant.

If I knew earlier, I should have paid half less, what is the 200,000 catties of food for thousands of people!

Less than 50 pounds on the head of a person, a whole year's ration!

50 pounds of food to feed the cat is not enough.

I don't know how many people will starve to death this year!

There were fires everywhere, and the top should be overwhelmed, so he could only rely on himself to save himself, Wang Anqing felt extremely lucky, he was not an arbitrary person, listened to Jian Ning's opinion, and made extra money to store tens of thousands of catties of coarse grain.

He counted with his fingers, and after the new grain was distributed to the villagers, there were still 50,000 catties of coarse grain, 10,000 catties of dried meat, and fresh wild yams, cassava, ground eggs, yams, kudzu, and wild radishes dug up from the mountains...... There are more than 15,000 catties of miscellaneous things.

10,000 catties of bracken powder.

The lotus root and water chestnuts in the pond are about several thousand catties, and the live fish in the pond plus the storage pond are about 30,000 catties.

In addition, there are a number of pheasants and hares that have been hunted and caught, and these things add up to barely last until next spring.

In spring, there are wild vegetables to eat, which can be relieved by one or two.

By the way, there is also a greenhouse, thinking of the newly built greenhouse, Wang Anqing's heart is hot, the greenhouse does not plan to plant anything else, just plant potatoes and sweet potatoes to carry hunger.

After handing over the public grain, Wang Anqing returned to the village non-stop and arranged for people to chop firewood, a winter heating shed, and a huge amount of firewood was needed.

After cutting down the yellow wattle strips on the hillside, every household built dry firewood stacks, but this year they did not build straw stacks, and the straw was taken to lay the warm shed, and the matching matches were replaced with dry grass on the mountain.

I also picked up a lot of stout rotten tree trunks and came back, I heard that Captain Ning was going to teach them to cultivate mushroom fungus in winter, and now no one calls Ning Yatou anymore, and the members of the hunting team have not changed their names, Captain Ning Captain Ning shouted so, and the people in the village changed their mouths, and no one taught.

The greenhouse burns up, a bud emerges from the soil, placed on the tree pole in the cultivation shed, small clusters of mushroom fungus are faintly visible, today Wang Anqing inspected the greenhouse as usual, went to the warehouse to count his grain stockpile, this kind of thing he has to come back every few days, a few days without looking at the grain to sleep is not steady.

There was a sudden snowfall a few days ago, and the temperature has suddenly risen again today.

Everyone was busy preparing things for the winter, taking advantage of the good weather, taking out the sundry to dry, and there were still hundreds of solar panels left in the Jianning space that were not fully charged.

Solar panels were placed on the roof, and the third sister dried the quilt in the yard, and then went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat, and now their home has changed a lot.

In the autumn, all the old houses were torn down and rebuilt, and a spacious and comfortable courtyard was built next to the original courtyard.

The entire yard has doubled in size.

Four main rooms, four side rooms.

Floor heating was uniformly laid, and fire walls were also built in the four main houses.

This winter is predictably comfortable, because of the fire wall in the house, even if the temperature is minus ten or twenty degrees, you only need to wear a thin cotton coat in the house to be very warm.

The firewood house and kitchen were moved from the backyard to the front yard, and a greenhouse was built on the site.

In the corner of the kitchen, there are several neat high cabinets, small sacks containing different kinds of grain in the square drawer boxes, and a glass cabinet with rows of beautiful small white porcelain jars containing all kinds of spices.

There are two holes connected by the wood stove, the front one is used for stir-frying, the back one is steamed rice to make porridge, and the other is a coal stove to burn honeycomb coal, which is generally used to stew soup.

A briquette can be burned for about two hours, just stewed a pot of soup, usually used to sit on water when not in use, there is a ventilated round hole under the coal stove, the round hole is equipped with a round cover, when there is nothing to burn on the coal stove, the lid is closed, control the air to delay the burning of the coal cake, a piece of coal cake can burn all night, the advantage of having a coal stove is that there is hot water available every morning, and there is hot water supply for washing vegetables and cooking 24 hours a day during the day.

During the extreme cold period, it is necessary to have hot water 24 hours a day.

The exterior material of the whole courtyard adopts the specifications of a blue brick house, but the interior decoration is an advanced material that Jian Ning took out of the space.

The area of the hall has been greatly enlarged, the square square is forty square meters, separated by a row of low cabinets in the middle, with a dining room on one side and a living room on the other, a row of warm-colored couches placed on the area for entertaining, and a carpet in front of the sofa.

The living room is equipped with a coffee table and a TV cabinet.

Speaking of the TV cabinet, the black and white TV on it was sent by Jiang Yihua, which can be rare for the family.

With the engine, the bamboo pole antenna can only receive two units, and it flashes snowflakes from time to time, it is better than nothing, and it is better than nothing for Jian Ning, but in the eyes of Jian Zhenjun and Mrs. Jian Mingyu and others, it is an extremely rare thing.

Just because of a black-and-white TV, the baby at home tried every means to run to Jian Ning's house day and night.
