Chapter 484: The Problem of Food

Fragrant!

And crispy!

I made a total of more than ten catties of mussel meat, but I couldn't stand more than a dozen of us at all, and we ate it at sea, and at the end of the meal, there were only two large tables of discs.

After eating them one by one, I was still snorting my teeth, and the aftertaste was endless.

Some of them haven't eaten it, and they are still clamoring to pick it up in the future.

I made a small fire, gathered everyone, and discussed the work schedule for the next month.

Now that the new home has just settled, everything is unprepared.

We're going to be busy and busy for the next month.

Everyone has to be busy, and there will be tasks scheduled.

It is necessary to work together to let these weak women also share some.

Otherwise, if we put the work on the shoulders of Li Zhi and me, we won't be able to keep busy.

In fact, after surviving in the wild for more than a year, these women, no matter how pampered they used to be at home, were forced by life at this time and became industrious and mature. Otherwise, if you don't work hard and don't work, who will get used to you?

"I've been to inspect the environment today, there is no problem, and I can live on this island with confidence. Then everyone will have to be busy. Please work hard, get busy this month, build our new home, and be comfortable!" I made my opening remarks.

Li Zhi nodded and replied: "The main work, of course, is to build a house, and to sow some rice to be the staple food in the future." ”

"We're going to live here for more than a year, and we don't have some staple food to eat every day, so that's not okay. Everyone eats meat every day, and they get tired of it. If we can't find food nearby, we'll have to grow it ourselves. ”

As he spoke, he turned his eyes to look at me: "Xiaoyu, I have an idea." It is already the end of June, and it is already a little late in time. Let's wait a few days and plant the grain first. Do you say yes?"

"Anyway, the construction of the house, the plan is a month, but it can be delayed, we now have a temporary camp, and it is not too many days to move in. ”

I nodded: "Yes! Brother Li is thoughtful. Then let's sow the seeds first!"

"I have also chosen the place, the fork of the river into it, about a kilometer or so, there is a reed field surrounded by the river on all sides. I visually inspected it, and it was about three or four acres in size. We can sow rice seeds there. ”

"On this island, there are a lot of rabbits and mice, probably because there are no natural enemies, so they breed very fiercely!"

When Kexin heard me talk about this, he suddenly interjected: "There is! With my all-purpose little hunter here, I go into the mountains every day, sweep the whole island with a few dogs, and catch all the rabbits to eat!"

"Do you eat the rats?" I gave her a blank look and continued my conversation: "If there is no waterway to cut it off, I am afraid that this rice will not be able to be planted." So, we can only plant this reed field. There is a natural river to isolate it, so it is convenient to prevent it. ”

"Tomorrow, let's go in tomorrow, cut down those reeds, and let the sun dry for a few days, and then burn them again, and the grass ash can still fertilize the ground. ”

"That's the seed. Brother Li, do you think our rice grains are useful as seeds?"

Li Zhi was not quite sure, and said, "This ...... I guess I can. ”

In the end, Sun Liqing, who was the oldest and had farming experience, gave her opinion: "I definitely can." Wild rice seeds, not as delicate as domestic rice, are easy to survive. Xiaoyu, since you told us that these rice were recovered by you from the mountains, since they have been bred from generation to generation, and they are growing well, then now we will broadcast it again, the same principle is the same, and there is also the advantage of artificial care, and the yield must be higher. ”

Hearing her say this, I was relieved and smiled, "That's good." That's the rice seed ......."

Sun Liqing said: "If we clear the rice fields quickly enough, we can now soak the seeds." ”

I laughed, "That's fine." Then it's all up to you, an expert, Sister Sun. In the future, the problem of planting rice will be guided and arranged by you, Sister Sun, and we will do what you let us do!"

Sun Liqing smiled.

I turned my head to look at Tian Xiaxia: "Xia Xia, let you count our millet today, how much is left?"

Tian Xiaxia said: "They have all been transferred from the bamboo warehouse to the urn, and it is estimated that there is only more than 300 catties of dry grain left." ”

"Oh, so little?"

When we set off, I remember bringing more than 300 catties of rice and more than 800 catties of dry grain.

Five or six people, eating all the way.

After picking up Li Zhi's team, they became more than a dozen people, and they ate all the way, which was quite fierce.

More than 1,000 catties of grain and rice, I can't help but eat more than a dozen mouths.

If we hadn't come all the way, mainly eating seafood and mountain goods, bumping into each other along the way, and often getting some grains to supplement our recipes, I'm afraid that this more than 1,000 catties of grain and rice would have been eaten long ago.

Tian Xiaxia nodded to me to confirm: "That's all there is to it, get rid of some of it as rice seeds, and turn it into rice, it will only be two hundred catties, which is enough for us to eat for half a month, and one month is not enough." ”

"Oh!" I replied.

It seems that we have to enter the days of meat as the staple food for three meals.

After the house was built, it was necessary to hurry up and sail the big boat, and look around the area to see if there was anything to replenish.

If you want to wait for our rice to grow this season? It will be four or five months before we can eat it during the Chinese New Year.

Tian Qiuqiu suddenly raised his hand and expressed an opinion: "Since there is not much millet left, let's eat together, and we won't be able to eat it for a few days, I think it's better to stay all." ”

"Stay, leave it to my cousin and Sister Wu Yun. My cousin is now pregnant with a baby and needs balanced nutrition, rice is very important to her, she can't eat meat for three meals, especially meat, which is not good for her and the baby. ”

"Sister Wu Yun is fine, but she has to nurse the child, and Xiao Liu Xi is now slowly, and she has to prepare to drink some gruel and porridge paste, and she also needs rice. She can't eat the meat. ”

Hearing Tian Qiuqiu mention this, I reacted coldly.

It turns out that this is also a serious problem!

My cousin's grain, and Xiao Liu Xi's grain......

We ordinary people can eat meat every day, and use sea fish, seafood and rabbit meat as rice to fill our stomachs, but special people like my cousin and Xiao Liu Xi can't!

They must have enough rice for their staple food, not just the way we eat it.

It seems that I have to wronged others and don't touch the little rice left!

From tomorrow onwards, eat meat for a living.

Unity and humility, do not care. It is the principle of our team to take care of the people who need to take care of the limited resources. It is also the foundation for those of us to unite and help each other and live well until now.

Everyone else would be happy, right?

If I left the more than 200 catties of rice to my cousin and Xiao Liu Xi, they would eat one catty a day, and they would be able to eat the next batch of millet harvest.
