Chapter 1312: Gou in the Last Days of the Natural Disaster (40)
Before leaving, they cleared the snow in front of the house, behind the house and on the roof, and dug a drainage ditch with a slope, and after the ice and snow melted into water, it flowed out along the drainage ditch.
Saffron, camellias, and kale, which are resistant to low temperature and extreme cold, were all stored in the system warehouse by Xu Yin before leaving.
Saffron has only been harvested once in two years, and the number is very small, and it is too cold to bloom in the weather of minus 40 degrees. Although the amount is small, but the quality is good, Xu Yin stored the few milligrams of saffron separately. The roots of the plant are wrapped in soil and can be planted in the future.
The saffron finally received a few milligrams, and the camellia was stunned before she even waited for the flowering period to be put into the system warehouse.
Only the creeper confiscated it at the time, thinking that it should die, but I didn't expect it to grow very well, not only was it not sunburned, but it was also lush and crawling all over half of the wall.
The children circled the yard and then went straight to the bunker to see the old white ones.
As soon as the entrance opens, wow! The smell is a bit heavy!
Is the fresh air system malfunctioning?
Pinched his nose and went down to the bunker, first went to the equipment room, and found that there was no failure, and the lighting, fresh air, and constant temperature systems were all operating normally.
"Wow - I'm a god!"
Xu Dong and Xu Xi couldn't wait to go to the animal base next door to see Lao Bai and the two dogs, and they were dumbfounded. Xu Dong even jumped out of the dialect he learned on TV.
"Brother Ning! Yinyin! Come and see! It's amazing here! β
Xu Xi was also dumbfounded: "Why are there so many geese?" It won't all be the children of Lao Bai, right? There are also several more dogs! β
ββ¦β¦β
Xu Yin and Ning Jin ran over to take a look, and twitched the corners of their mouths in unison.
Lao Bai has nothing to do, and the geese that hatched it hatched at the beginning have been incubating eggs?
A goose hatches a nest a month, and a dozen geese hatch for half a year...... Sixty or so nests?
It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked.
It's no wonder that the area where the geese live is full of crushed eggshells and quacking fluffy goose......
When Marshmallow and the little cow saw them, they ran over with a whirl, followed by their respective spouses and a bunch of fluffy little milk dogs.
I haven't seen each other for half a year, and these two brothers have also become fathers.
Goose meows, dogs bark, cats in the distance......
Xu Yin only felt that her brain suddenly swelled.
Fortunately, this animal base was relatively large at the beginning, and the activity area of various animals such as geese, dogs, and cats could be expanded even if it was not enough.
The four children hurried up to work separately, picking up eggs, picking up dung, picking up what they needed, and then holding the hose to rinse their nests.
Xu Yin saw that the friends had robbed all the dirty work, so she was responsible for the final sanitization, and by the way, she also fed them a few mouthfuls of Linghu water, curing diseases and strengthening their bodies without diseases.
The heat will continue for a few more years, and the little ones will have to continue to live here.
After cleaning up the animal base, the children went to the planting area next door.
All the crops planted before leaving were ripe, and some of them were overripe and rotted in the ground, and everyone was busy again.
Thanks to the fact that they have been doing farm work every day in the central city for half a year, their hands have not only not grown, but they have become more skilled, and they have assisted small agricultural equipment such as harvesters to harvest rice, wheat, corn and other crops.
Vegetables and fruits are overripe. Those that can still be eaten are also received in baskets, and those that are overcooked are temporarily left in the ground, and they will come back to make fertilizer when they are free.
After being busy, the children returned to the bunker and took turns to take a bath, and sat down to count the harvest of the past six months.
"A total of 105 goose eggs were picked up, and 95 new geese were added."
"There are so many fish in the pond that I can't count how many; The shrimp is a pot casually, and the shrimp can be dried if you can't finish eating. β
"The harvested rice weighed 500 kilograms, 360 kilograms of wheat, and 450 kilograms of corn with ears."
"A lot of watermelons are overripe, and I counted 25 more that I could eat. Overripe melon seeds can be kept as seeds. β
"Pumpkins can be eaten even when they are old, and a total of 52 were collected."
"The edamame is very old, and you can put it away and keep it or cook soybeans and sprouts to eat it."
"Although the soybeans have not been weighed yet, according to the last harvest, there are 100 catties, and every time we come in the future, we can decorate them in our pockets and send bean sprouts."
Xu Dong and Xu Xi took turns to report.
The summary is-
Lao Bai took the dozen geese he hatched at the beginning and hatched more than 100 goose eggs, and finally 95 survived, leaving 105 eggs. Thanks to their arrival today, the ranks of the geese flock would probably continue to grow.
Vegetables and fruits are basically old. The fruit can still be eaten late, and the fruit is overripe early, so it can only be used for fertilizer.
On the other hand, bean crops, due to the long growth period, even if they are old, are just used to keep seeds or make soup to eat, which does not affect the taste and nutritional intake. On the contrary, old beans are more nutritious and comprehensive.
These materials, they can't take them out for the time being, and they are hoarded in the warehouse next door to the equipment room, but they are all here, and they have been busy for a long time, planning to use a small rice mill to grind a few catties of new rice to cook a pot of fragrant rice, and then stew a tender goose to reward themselves, and the alarm bell left outside to guard goes off, indicating that someone is approaching the welfare home, or is knocking on the door of the welfare home.
The four children hurriedly put on their clothes, smeared a few handfuls of mud on each other's faces, scratched their hair into a mess, put on the new rice that was ready to be put into the pot, picked up the tender goose that was about to be slaughtered, and went out of the stairwell.
Xu Dong and Xu Xi rushed into the kitchen with the tender goose in his arms, and Ning Jin pulled Xu Yin down the stairs to the second floor.
"Bang bang bang-"
There was another knock on the door of the orphanage.
"Is no one there?"
"Yin-"
"Xiao Ningβ"
"Dongdongβ"
"Sissyβ"
It turned out that Professor Liu's Xiaohu came to them.
Xu Yin and Ning Jin glanced at each other, and Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Hu has followed Professor Liu since he was a graduate student, and like Professor Liu, he is a pure person, in other words, he is easier to deceive.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and raised their voices in response: "Brother Hu, we are here!" I'm going to open the door to you! β
The two ran downstairs, pulled the deadbolt, pulled the latch, and opened the door.
"I just shouted you a few times, but no one answered, and I thought you weren't there, scared me to death!" The little beard who came to them wiped the hot sweat on his forehead, "The professor is very worried that you haven't come back for most of the day, let me come over and take a look, nothing is wrong, right?" β
"No, we're fine! I haven't been back for half a year, I miss it very much, so I went around the yard back and forth, Brother Hu, when you knocked on the door, we were probably in the backyard, I didn't hear clearly. β
"Brother Hu, you have a good mouth!" Xu Yin said, pulling him to the kitchen, "Tell you quietly, we caught a goose in the rotten grass pile at the root of the backyard wall......"
Xiao Hu thought they were teasing him, and when he got to the kitchen, he saw a large iron pot on the half-collapsed earthen stove, and the pot was boiling water......
It was only then that he realized that the four children had really caught a goose. And he, because he was sent out by the professor to find them, had the good fortune to taste this goose meat.
Goose meat!
Fragrant stewed goose in an iron pot!
I haven't eaten it in years.
Xiao Hu came back to his senses and found that he was drooling, so he lowered his head in shame and wiped the corners of his mouth, clearing his throat: "Ahem, is there anything you need my help with?" β
"Great, Brother Hu, come and pluck goose feathers! I'm going to get some firewood! β
"Brother Hu, do you know how to make goose meat?" Xu Xi asked him.
Xiao Hu hesitated for a few seconds: "Uh...... I've eaten it, but I haven't done it. β
ββ¦β¦β
He swore that the children would definitely "cut" him, but there was no sound.
