Chapter 31: The First Day of the Lunar New Year
"Oooo Lin Xiaoquan, who was not fully awake, said in a daze: "Happy New Year!" Grandmother! ”
I didn't hear a response from anyone for a long time, only the chirping of chickens and the occasional call of birds, which made Lin Xiaoquan wake up. It turned out that he was already single. Yesterday on Chinese New Year's Eve, I said that I was keeping the year in the Taoyuan space, but I don't know if it was "old", and I couldn't stay up late, and I ran to the first old-fashioned bed in the house in the middle of the night and fell asleep.
In the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, after Lin Xiaoquan washed up, Xiaoquan planned to nest in the Taoyuan space for a day, tidy up and rest.
First of all, Koizumi still picks and stores the crops he planted in time, and looks at the vegetables and fruits stacked together in the warehouse, full of rice, wheat, and even all kinds of delicate flowers and all kinds of Chinese herbal medicines, Koizumi suddenly feels a full sense of sufficiency, which he has planted with his own hands and feet.
In addition to keeping fresh fruits and vegetables to eat, Koizumi also disposed of the remaining crops. The rice is pestled with a stone mortar from the old house and used by my grandmother in the past, and then the husk (i.e. rice bran) is separated from the rice through a sieve and dust.
Koizumi worked in a hot mood for a long time, and suddenly slapped his head, how could he forget that he secretly regretted the two generators he bought at that time, and now they can be used just right. After the installation was completed, the rice mill and thresher that were also collected from the old house at that time were connected, so that Koizumi could process the grain much faster!
As for the flowers, Koizumi has made some essential oils by distilling them in a moody way, and the rest is intended to be used to make some practical and sweet flower cakes.
The processing of Chinese herbal medicines is much more complex, and different types of herbs are processed differently. Koizumi couldn't finish it for a while, so he could only carry out the simplest and most basic processing first, and store the rest first.
Then, she also cooked the poultry and aquatic products that she had raised one after another, slaughtered half of them and caught more than half of them, and let the rest continue to reproduce naturally.
In addition to working in the Taoyuan space for planting and breeding, Lin Xiaoquan also ran up several continuous hillsides to dig birds' eggs, take honeycombs, and so on. Koizumi did not see all this as a burden, but enjoyed it, and she felt as if she had returned to the carefree childhood life in the mountain village when she was a child.
In the evening, when Lin Xiaoquan looked at the corner of the warehouse full of piles, he felt that this was the greatest sense of security.
Koizumi looked at the past in the same way, and let himself know in his heart: fresh vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, and fruits, with sufficient reserves, and there are still planting and breeding.
The various seasonings that are the "icing on the cake" for the food have been replenished by the last trip to the agricultural market, and the quantity is considerable, and in terms of 10,000 steps back, there are small beaches, sea water, and sugarcane are also planted in the Taoyuan space, and the most basic salt and sugar are not worried; Oil is also yes, which can be extracted from planted tea trees, peanuts, sesame seeds; As for traditional spices such as pepper, Sichuan pepper, dried ginger, chili pepper, and star anise, Koizumi had the foresight to open up a special area for planting.
Koizumi doesn't stock up on some ready-to-eat snacks, snacks, instant noodles, canned food, drinks, etc., made outside. One is the rise in prices after the lack of electricity resources, and the other is that Koizumi has been influenced by his grandmother, who practiced medicine, since he was a child, and has developed good healthy eating habits, rarely eating and not much like snacks and the like.
