"In addition to going up the mountain to cut firewood, the project we stopped will also start again, and strive to build the wall before it freezes, so that we can feel at ease in winter." Jiang Zhi said.

"I think the two jobs can be carried out at the same time, and cutting firewood doesn't necessarily have to be a young person, just my old bone can pick up 180 catties of firewood a day, how can our old woman at home pick up enough firewood for her own winter, just let Fan Yu go to work in the construction site." Old man Zhang said his opinion, and everyone at the table nodded in agreement.

As long as the elderly at home can still move, they have to work in the fields, even children of seven or eight years old can also see that they often help the family work, especially collecting firewood, which is the work they are most willing to do, and they can play and help.

"This time, we won't let everyone work in vain, the more than 30 acres of land in the village have collected a lot of grain, so we will give everyone some rewards appropriately, so that everyone is more motivated." Jiang Zhi wants to use the grain to pay the young people who work for the village.

"Well, I'll see. By the way, I have to add some rewards to the two little daughters-in-law of the pig farm, which is really good, it is more than a month, the pig is rubbing and growing, I think there will be 200 catties. "In fact, the two little daughters-in-law from the pig farm work, their families often come to help, so the pig farm is very well maintained, very clean, pig manure has also been collected together, waiting for next year's planting time to use, now there is no fertilizer, this natural farm manure is a good thing."

As for the rapid growth of pigs in the past month or so, it is actually our reason. When we came back from the red ear, we took out some sawgrass and fed it to the pigs. I really don't know what kind of grass this grass is, it should be very rich in nutrients, pigs love to eat it, and it grows meat quickly. Within a few days, it was obvious that the pork had grown meat.

When I got home, I took out some sawgrass and thought that what the pigs could eat must be non-poisonous. People should be able to eat it, so I tried to peel the old skin outside, which is a bit like an onion. After peeling the skin, it was full of whiteboards, which were very tender, so I asked Jiang Zhi to cut one. Then it was sautéed with fresh pork. As a result, at lunchtime, it was very popular with the family, and they all said that it was delicious, and since then, this dish has appeared on our dining table from time to time.

"Yes, that must be rewarded, as long as it is well done. If you work hard, you must not let it be done in vain. ”

The meal was eaten late. At the dinner table, these old men talked a lot about the future development plan of the village.

The next day, the whole village began to rest, recuperate, but we still have something to be busy, Jiang Zhi informed in the loudspeaker that our family will go up the mountain to pick pine nuts these days, and ask someone to help, the treatment is still the same as last year, and people who are interested in earning some extra money can come to our house to sign up.

In just 20 minutes, in addition to those people who came out last year, there were many other people, and they went up the mountain to pick pine nuts together.

There are many people to do things, the amount of picking this day, when catching up with the last few days of picking, so the work of picking pine nuts was done for 3 days, and then stopped, one is that we think that we can not pick all the pine nuts, but also leave some small animals in the mountains to feed with pine nuts. Second, the project in the village is about to start, and these young people are going to work in the construction site.

After that, Jiang Zhi, Li Cheng and Li Shanqing also spent all day on the construction site, Jiang's mother and Qu's mother cooked and dried pine nuts at home, and Weiwei and I took a few children to go up the mountain to collect firewood.

Sister Qu and Sister Qu have also lived very well in Tashan Village in the past two years, the harvest in the field is enough for these few people in the family to eat, that is, Aunt Liang is a little cautious, but also in the long-term labor, the temperament is a lot calmer, the second brother-in-law used to be the leader, and now he has begun to be pragmatic, and in several activities in the village, he has shown excellent management ability, Jiang Zhi is now relieved to hand over some work to him to be responsible, I think this is equivalent to labor reform.

Just when the whole village was busy, a villager in the village was embarrassed to find Jiang Zhi, after a conversation, we learned that this person has relatives in Xishan Village next to us, a few days ago after harvesting crops and resting, he went to a relative's house in Xishan Village, and people blew their own harvest this year, after he came back, he didn't feel anything, but the whole village of Xishan Village knew this year's harvest in Tashan Village, the village chief of Xishan Village is also a responsible person, I heard that Tashan Village has good farming technology, If you can still have a bumper harvest under such arid conditions, you have the intention to come to study and learn, so you asked that relative to come to Tashan Village to talk about it, this villager was begged, and it was not easy to refuse, so he came to Jiang Zhi to talk about it, if he could let the people of Xishan Village come to learn and learn.

Jiang Zhi thought about it, this is not a big deal, if others can also harvest every year, it is also a good thing, so he agreed, of course, Jiang Zhi did not have time to receive the whole process, so he sent his second brother-in-law out of the horse, and explained in detail the drip irrigation system of his village to a few people sent from Xishan Village, so that the people who came to learn benefited a lot.

When they saw the wall being built in our village, they were very curious, and when they knew that we were doing it to prevent people from robbing and stealing, they shouted that they should do it. Their village also encountered several robberies last year, and three people were killed, and a lot of food was lost.

After sending away the villagers of Xishan Village who came to learn the scriptures, our wall project was also nearing completion, and it took about four months to build a wall about two meters high, and the gate was a large iron gate provided by our family. When the project was completed, Zhang Wanfu came to our house with a little rice noodles, and he had to express his gratitude to us, saying that now he can finally sleep well, since their home was robbed last winter, they are difficult to sleep and eat, the original village is a good place, easy to access, now it seems that it is a very dangerous place to go, he has the heart to change a house, but now who is changing with him, there is no empty house in the village, he can only live in the village tremblingly, this time the wall was built, they are relieved a lot, Finally, there are more layers of protection.

Jiang Zhi and him were polite, they were all from the same village, there was really no need to be so polite, we entertained him for a meal, and even sent everyone and things home.

When I think about it, I feel that I have lost a lot, "Old Jiang, we are too much of a loss, we don't accept gifts from others, and we have to have a meal." ”

"Haha, you can't look at it that way, we didn't build the wall specifically for their family, we built it for the whole village, but also for ourselves, and the rice noodles he sent, we can make it ourselves, the newly harvested rice must be more delicious, if you want to eat it, let's make some tomorrow." Jiang Zhi knows my careful thoughts, I don't really care about other people's things, but I don't have them, so I think it's a good thing.

"Well, that's okay, it's been a long time since I've eaten rice noodles, and I've forgotten what rice noodles taste like across the bridge." I said with emotion that there should be no place to sell rice noodles now, and I want to eat what kind of food I want to eat in the future, so I can only make it myself.

The next day, I called the eldest sister and the second sister and asked them if they wanted to make some rice noodles. They were very interested, so we started making rice noodles according to what was written on the grain. We've never done this together, and it's sold in the supermarket when we want to eat it, so we don't have to pay for it ourselves.

Now we don't have that condition, so we can only figure it out and do it ourselves, but fortunately, when I was in the city, I downloaded a lot of tutorials on the Internet, all kinds of things, and there are also tutorials for making rice noodles.

We first wash the rice, then soak it, and when it is all soaking, we start grinding it with a stone mill, and then we steam it in Shangguo, and use a noodle machine to press the rice flour into a noodle shape, and then dry it in the yard. It's easy to say, but it's really troublesome to do, and it took us a few days to make enough of these companies.

Although it is hard, I ate the fried rice noodles and boiled rice noodles I made, it was so fragrant, this is really natural food, and there are no chemicals.

After finishing the rice noodles, I looked at the stone mill in the yard, thinking that I was making some tofu and saving it, but I had already eaten it last year.

Then we started to be busy making tofu again, this year our family planted more soybeans, and pulled Li Cheng and Liang Chen to grind for us, we made a lot of tofu, and also distributed it to a few familiar people, which brought a trend of making tofu in the village, now many families have ice cellars, and now there is a way to store tofu in this weather, so everyone is more than the race to do.

There are also people who didn't plant soybeans this year, all of them are secretly regretful, but their brains are turning fast, several people have come to our house to ask, can we give them some soybeans, everyone knows that our family has planted more soybeans this year.

We also thought that it was better to be happy alone than to be happy, so we changed some for everyone, which meant that we exchanged the price of a pound of rice for a pound of soybeans.

When the whole village was busy making tofu, Jiang Zhi was not idle, he took the charcoal making machine at home to the village committee, where there was a power supply, and began to make organic carbon in the yard.

I asked Jiang Zhi why he made so much, and he said that he had a vague premonition that this year's winter would be even colder.

Some villagers asked Jiang Zhi why he didn't just burn firewood, and why did he bother to make firewood into organic carbon?

Jiang Zhi explained to them some of the differences between firewood and organic carbon, and everyone was excited that Jiang Zhi said that organic carbon is much more resistant to burning than firewood, and they asked Jiang Zhi to borrow a charcoal machine.

Jiang Zhi put the charcoal making machine here, it was intended for everyone to use it together, he was afraid that the weather would be too cold this winter, and the firewood that everyone picked up might not be enough to burn, if everyone made the firewood into organic carbon, then it would be able to burn for a while longer.

Since then, the charcoal making machine has not stopped until the day of heavy snowfall. (To be continued......)
