Chapter 57: Hoarding
Because of this, the wild people must stock up on enough winter food and warm supplies in advance.
And those who are not prepared, many will starve to death and freeze to death because they can't survive the cold winter.
In order to cope with the cold winter, everyone usually prepares within 50 to 60 days before the onset of winter.
But this year's winter has been brought forward by nearly 90 days, which is extremely rare, and it will definitely be the most critical and terrible winter in so many years!
The wild people have basically not gotten the things used for the winter, how to survive the winter?
After arriving home, Ye Wanwan hurriedly went to see the corn and vegetables planted behind the house, but fortunately, she watered it in time, and many of them were already ripe.
"Bai Chen, help me break these good corns. The rest of the bad estimates won't take more than a few days, and they will definitely be ripe before the arrival of winter. Ye Wanwan held a big basket and put it in the cornfield.
Bai Chen's movements were swift, and it didn't take long for him to break it.
Ye Wanwan counted the corn in the basket and breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, "These corns are enough for us to eat for half a winter." If you save a little food, you might be able to eat it for longer. ”
Bai Chen helped her brush her forehead hair wet with sweat, and couldn't help but feel distressed, "Tonight, I'll get the things for winter, believe me, you don't need to worry about this kind of thing." ”
"Then what's the matter, winter is coming soon, how can I let you work alone, then you will be tired." Ye Wanwan shook her head stubbornly.
Bai Chen was afraid that she would be tired, "Then you can just take care of the corn and vegetables in the field, and leave the rest to me." ”
"Well, I don't think I can help much else." Ye Wanwan doesn't care much about these miscellaneous things.
She crossed her fingers and muttered, "What you need to survive the winter is food and warmth." In addition to that, you have to get some meat. ”
"I will go hunting tomorrow, and the meat of the game will be hoarded, and the skin will be kept, and it will be used as a clothing and a quilt for the winter." Bai Chen was very calm and did not mess up at all, "But it is not enough to just use animal skins to keep warm, and you need to get some firewood so that you can use it to make a fire." ”
So from the next day, Bai Chen went out to hunt in the morning, and went out to chop firewood in the afternoon, working from morning to night all day, just to let Ye Wanwan rest assured that he could spend the winter.
In order to prevent any more ill-intentioned people from breaking in, Bai Chen specially buried the trap made two days ago in the ground, just enough to circle the house.
Usually, whenever he goes out to hunt and chop wood, Ye Wanwan stays in the house and does not go out, to ensure his own safety, and also to make Baichen feel at ease outside.
Ye Wanwan stayed at home and had nothing to do, always looking for something to do.
Looking at the house she lives in now, she always feels that the layout is too messy, and if she wants to stay in the house every day in winter, it is better to tidy up first.
So Ye Wanwan started and divided the house into three areas: east, middle and west.
To the east is her and Bai Chen's living room, which is responsible for resting and placing clothes.
The middle is mainly a place to cook and eat.
The one on the west side is used to store winter grain, animal skins, etc.
After cleaning up, the house became more tidy, and Ye Wanwan felt that it was comfortable to live in this way, and she was in a good mood.
After Bai Chen came back from chopping wood in the evening, Ye Wanwan had already diligently prepared dinner, a large portion of steamed meat, a plate of roasted corn, and a large bowl of chicken soup.
"Baichen, go wash your hands and eat." Ye Wanwan turned around, but was surprised, "Huh? How do you get the firewood into the house, isn't it supposed to be piled up outside the door? ”
