Chapter 71: Something to eat
She thought that as long as her family had enough food, she wouldn't let those people go hungry to work.
Is it that her family's house can be built as soon as possible?
Then, when the harsh winter comes, the family will be able to move into a sturdy new house.
Sleep on a warm kang and eat a hot meal.
Even in the last days, whether it is an ordinary person or an alien in the base, there is a need for work.
There are also three meals a day, but some are a little rougher, and some are a little more delicate.
Even if it is coarse tea and light rice, it never makes people hungry, and it still makes people eat enough to work again.
From ancient times to the present, eating has been the most important thing, and you can skip every meal without meat, but you can't skip eating.
Whether you can have a full stomach in the last days is an important criterion for measuring whether a base can be stable.
The base where she and the Ye family's scum are located is a place that can stabilize people's hearts and unite people's hearts.
The ordinary people in the base can also be fed, clothed and warmed and have a place to live, so they are not like vegetables, eating and waiting for death, regardless of whether the base can be stable for a long time.
The ordinary people there are also positive, trying to do what they can with hope, waiting for the end times to pass.
In the face of fierce beasts, they will not flinch, and they will bravely rush forward and sacrifice their strength to protect the base.
"Whether you are allowed to eat meat or not, and how much meat you are allowed to eat, depends on the situation of each family."
Sister-in-law Kang secretly calculated in her heart, how many people would Ye Tingcheng's family need to hire if they wanted to build a house? Where are you going to hire someone?
After listening to her questioning, I briefly talked about the situation of each family's employment.
"Those who come to work, as long as they can eat enough, don't ask for too much. If there is meat to eat, they will eat it. If not, they wouldn't have a problem.
After all, our Xiaoqing Village is one of the few places where they are asked to eat dry and be full. However, unless you really can't get it, you usually buy some meat, even if it's a broth. ”
"Then, sister-in-law, should we buy this meat in the town or in the market?"
Ye Qingcheng suddenly thought that yesterday she went to the Immortal Mountain, and looked at the removal of plants or plants.
It seems that there are no wild animals in sight.
Wild things such as pheasants and hares are not only not seen, but even large wild boars and tigers are nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that this fairy mountain is only suitable for the growth of various plants, and there is no suitable living environment for wild things?
No, she shook her head secretly.
There are all kinds of plants that are abundant all over the mountains, and there are no pheasants, hares and other ordinary wild things.
Rare wild animals such as roe deer and musk deer, she has never seen even a shadow.
In other words, if there are no grass-eating wild animals, there will be no meat-eating wild animals.
It seems reasonable, but it's hard to believe.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why the people of Xiaoqing Village never go to the Immortal Mountain to hunt.
If you don't have prey, what kind of hunting are you fighting?!
In this way, you can't just eat meat with your own poultry and livestock.
Either go to the town, or rush to the market to buy.
"We have a chicken coop in the yard of every house here, and a pigsty next to the house. More or less, they will raise a few chickens and a pig. ”
Sister-in-law Kang said, stood up from the hall, and pointed out the chicken coop in the corner of the yard to her.
"Allure, you see, my aunt's family has more than a dozen chickens. In addition, her family has three pigs this year. In our village, people generally raise a pig as a family, most of them raise it for a year, and wait until the New Year to kill and eat meat.
If a pig is thrifty, it can almost be eaten until October of the following year. However, there are also those who are short of money who will kill pigs during the New Year, but only a few guests will be left, and the rest will be sold to subsidize the family.
There are also a few more pigs like the aunt's family, which is a few families. In this way, wait until the time of the Chinese New Year. If you kill one and eat it at home, you can sell the rest and add a lot of savings to your family. ”
"Sister-in-law, does your family only have one pig this year?"
In Ye Chengcheng's memory, a certain senior's family across the street from her family was like what Sister-in-law Kang said.
The pigs that have been raised at home for a year will be killed during the Chinese New Year, but not for their own meat.
Instead, a large part of the more than 300 catties of pork will be sold, and the remaining little will be enough to entertain guests during the New Year.
As for eating meat at home, you can only eat the remaining little pig water.
However, it was also the pork when I was a child that was delicious, fragrant and not firewood.
Domestic pork, like domestic chicken and eggs, is a pure natural, green and pollution-free good.
To this day, she remembers that the chicken was firm and strong, and when the egg was beaten into the bowl, the yolk was intact and did not fall apart.
"Well, my family has a pig this year. My mother-in-law said that when the tiger is bigger next year, she will raise another pig. ”
Sister-in-law Kang pulled her to sit down again, and said with a smile: "A pig can be sold for a few taels of silver, which is much more cost-effective than scavenging in the field." ”
"When you come to stay, if you have free time, you can raise a few chickens and a pig. If you don't sell for money, you can also have no shortage of meat during the New Year. ”
On weekdays, every family tightens their belts to get by.
Who is willing to eat meat, a pound of meat is not cheap. Even if you buy a little less, it will be a lot of money for a long time.
The fields in Xiaoqing Village are barren, and the annual income is sometimes only enough to make ends meet, except for paying taxes.
Sometimes God doesn't appreciate face, and if the year is bad, it won't even be enough to make ends meet.
Therefore, although the people of Xiaoqing Village are also concerned about their own fields, they are not the only hope.
In addition to counting on the fields, the people of Xiaoqing Village also seized the opportunity to go out to work.
It can be said that if you can save money, the income from working outside the home will occupy the largest part of the family's savings.
"Okay, I'll pick it up later. When I have free time, I'll look for my sister-in-law to see who can catch the piglets. ”
Ye Tingcheng nodded again and again, she still has confidence in raising chickens and pigs.
If she has the ability to give the chickens and pigs the best feed, she can ensure that the chickens and pigs can be raised with oily and slippery.
It was decided that when the New Year came next, after killing chickens and pigs at home, she would definitely ask Aunt Li and them to eat pig-killing dishes at home.
"If you want to buy meat, you don't need to buy more, it's enough to buy five or six catties to stay at home."
Sister-in-law Kang likes Ye Tingcheng more and more, and she is willing to talk to her more, which can be described as full of interest, which is really not bad at all.
"Although there are only two fairs a month, five or six catties of meat in half a month is about the same. When the time comes, let's buy more fatty meat. By the way, and lard. ”
Sister-in-law Kang smiled and counted her fingers, giving Ye Qingcheng an idea.
"When the fat is put in the dish, it is much more delicious than the single boiled dish. In the case of lard, after we fry the oil, the remaining oil residue can be used to steam steamed buns, make bibimbap, or make dumplings. ”
