85_85483 Drying rice is an indispensable step in the progress of grain harvesting.

The purpose of drying rice is twofold:

First, in order to remove water from the rice, it slows down the respiration rate, thereby reducing the loss of nutrients in the rice.

Second, prevent the rice from undergoing anaerobic respiration, produce alcohol, and make it mildew and insects.

Due to the heavy rain in the past three days, the rice stored in the zài field has already been damp in different ways, so drying has become an imperative thing.

Everyone waited until the water on the surface of the ground had completely dissipated under the scorching sun at noon, and then they worked together to carry the rice gathered in the fabric outside.

Considering that heavy rains could come at any time, the survivors did not dump the rice on the ground as usual, but still carried it by the fabric in the ground.

Although this will affect the heating of the rice to some extent, as mentioned above, if the rainstorm does come, this practice can take the rice back into the factory as soon as possible, so as to minimize the secondary moisture of the rice.

The midday sun was undoubtedly scorching, and the survivors felt as if their skin had been pricked by a small needle cone.

However, no one complained about it, on the contrary, everyone was very enthusiastic.

This may be the so-called "motivation", because they are so eager to eat a meal of white flowers.

Without a rake, the survivors had to wait for the harrow by hand, using the most primitive method to spread out the rice piled on the surface of the fabric, and the purpose of this was to make each grain of rice evenly exposed to the sun's rays.

It's just that this primitive method is so tiring that when all the rice is spread evenly, the survivors can no longer find a dry spot on their bodies, and their sweat is like a flood that has opened the floodgates.

There is no doubt that this is the first experience for most of the young people among the survivors at the moment.

In addition to their curiosity, they also have a deeper understanding and experience of the ancient poem "Who knows the Chinese food on the plate, every grain is happy".

In the following days, the drying of the grain continued, and in addition to this, the manual shelling was also carried out simultaneously.

In the evening of the second day after the grain work, the survivors of the factory finally ate the fruits of their victory "at the cost of blood".

Since that night, the face of the factory has skyrocketed and undergone earth-shaking changes.

The women, who had been lifeless and depressed all day, began to smile for the first time in a long time, and their faces, which were nourished by the rice, were a little bloody.

The patients have been coming out of the isolation room one after another, and the adequate food supply has greatly improved their resistance.

All the qiē in the factory are developing in a good and positive direction, and at this moment, "Zhongkun Textile" is also the first time to have the characteristics of the so-called "shelter".

It's just that Tang Xiaoquan was not blinded by the good momentum in front of him.

It is true that he also admits that the current momentum of the factory is good, but as the saying goes, if there is no long-term concern, there must be near-term worries.

In order to live here for a long time, the existing pattern of the factory is obviously far from meeting the requirements.

If nothing else, let's take the food and water supply that are necessary for daily life, although it is true that there is no need to worry about supply in the short term, but what about the future? What about a month from now? These problems do not have to be brought back to the table to discuss and solve.

So instead of wasting precious time on the muddy bragging, it is better to take advantage of the current sufficient supplies and think about the next direction of the factory.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaoquan immediately gathered everyone to come to the factory director's office, and his topic this time was: how to make the factory self-sufficient and sustainable development.

After everyone sat down, Tang Xiaoquan didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "I called everyone here today, there is no other purpose, I just want to discuss the future development of the factory with you, if anyone has any good opinions and suggestions, please put them forward." Especially in terms of eating and drinking, I think everyone knows that after our efforts some time ago, the drinking water and rice in the factory are currently limited in the case of distribution, which is enough to support until the beginning of next month, which is not a short time, but the supply will eventually run out, so I hope everyone can brainstorm now, so that we will not be blind at that time. ”

A moment of silence, it is clear that nearly a week of well-fed and leisurely life has made everyone present gradually forget the cruelty of the last days.

So much so that after hearing Tang Xiaoquan's opening remarks, everyone stayed there in a daze, like a wooden man.

However, in just an instant, all kinds of unbearable experiences in the past poured into everyone's brains like a flood of beasts, and they realized that they were still living in the catastrophe of the last days!

With the recovery of attitude, the vigilance of "born in sorrow, died in peace" immediately drove everyone to think about Tang Xiaoquan's question.

Soon, the elder Zhao Yunhai took the lead in giving his opinion: "Let me talk about the issue of food." We are located in the countryside, and the most important thing is the field, so I consider whether we should make use of this advantage and plant some seasonal fruits and vegetables in the field, so that regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, we can be self-sufficient by relying on the land outside. ”

Nodding affirmatively, Tang Xiaoquan agreed with Zhao Yunhai's opinion very much.

In fact, at the beginning of the meeting, Tang Xiaoquan had made detailed considerations, so while echoing the former, he also added: "Uncle Zhao's proposal is very constructive, but considering safety issues, I personally build yì not only to plant in the field, but also to plan some places in the open space in the factory area, and then enclose the vegetable garden, so that even if the factory is besieged by zombies in the future, we will be at a loss." ”

"Well, that's a good idea! I've lived here for most of my life, and I'm not just relying on my family's one-third of an acre of land to support myself. So as long as we make good use of this field, then there will be no problem with food. Wang Dao was a little excited.

And at the same time as his words fell, Aunt Zhao actually said very rarely, "Yes, if we farm by ourselves, the feces, urine and feces piled up in the mound behind will also be useful, and I don't have to bury them all day long." I can turn them into fertilizer and save the Shuna Ata. ”

In line with the unique simplicity of the people in the village, Aunt Zhao frankly said what she thought in her heart, although it sounded a little disgusting, but it was a real thing.

At this point, the first bill can be regarded as unquestioned, and with Zhao Yunhai's good leader, the discussion has gradually entered a white-hot state.......
