Chapter 95: The Space Food Crisis
Today's sun seems to be a little sunny.
It's only May 10th, and the sun will only get brighter and brighter.
But in her yard, at this time, except for the house, there is no place to shade the sun.
Zhou Li'an: "......"
Misguided.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Yanzhou noticed that Zhou Li'an's interest was not as high as before.
"There's not a single place in this courtyard to shade the sun."
"Aren't you special, pushing, coming out, basking in the sun?" Lu Yanzhou smiled.
"That's right, but the sun can't be basking all the time."
It's tanned every day, and it's not good to tan too much, right?
She resolutely defends her eyes.
However, the air outside is no better than the inside of the house, and Zhou Li'an feels that it is better to stay outside when there are more people.
Therefore, it is still necessary to think of a way to stay outside without being exposed to the sun all the time.
Zhou Li'an began to look around, and then said, "If only there was a grapevine in this yard, it would not only be able to eat, but also to shade the sun." โ
"Second brother, do you know who grows grapes?"
Zhou Li'an thought that if there was one, he could go and divide the glucose seedlings.
Zhou Shu'an shook his head: "I haven't heard of it, I've only eaten wild grapes, which can sour people's teeth!" โ
The kind of acid that can sour people's teeth, Zhou Li'an shuddered just thinking about it.
Zhou Li'an felt that he still liked sweets, so let's see if he could get grapes on the black market and take the grape seeds back to plant.
That will definitely take time, though, and more on that later.
For now, let's get a shade first.
"If I don't have grapes, I have to plant cucumbers first, and the cucumber leaves are not small, so I can enjoy the cool in the summer."
Just do it.
Zhou Li'an took out the small boat that stayed in the house and put it on Lu Yanzhou's lap, and she herself beckoned her second brother to start building a shelf.
Because Zhou Li'an still had to cook and rehabilitate Lu Yanzhou, it took a total of one day to build this frame made of wood.
As for the cucumber, it was planted outside the hospital by Zhou Li'an.
Be prepared for them to crawl in from the outside.
There is no way, it is all paved with cement, except for the balance rod for Lu Yanzhou, the soil can be seen in those positions, and the other places can only be seen by smashing the paved cement.
Now, whether it is pulling the balance bar or smashing cement, it is unrealistic.
ยท
And just like that, another few days passed.
In the past few days, Zhou Li'an has experienced the maturity of soybeans and mung beans planted in the space.
The second batch of peppers ripens and the first chicks lay eggs.
The first chicks, all three were hens.
A chicken in space can lay three eggs a day.
There are three of them, and that's nine eggs a day.
Zhou Li'an has been here for more than 50 days, and finally lives a life where he can't finish eating eggs.
Just thinking about it, Zhou Li'an was still a little moved.
I think it won't be long before she can take out this egg and sell it.
Chicken ass bank, send her to make a fortune!
But Zhou Li'an hasn't gotten rich yet.
After taking a shower that night, I took the opportunity to enter the space in the shower room.
As soon as she entered, she was told that her chicks and piglets were dying.
The reason is โ
Her chicks and piglets haven't eaten normal feed for a long time.
What a word!
Is it scientific?
She's a person who has space.
Zhou Li'an opened the feed factory and found that her chickens and piglets had been eating vegetables for a week.
As for the grain -
The food that can be fed for pigs and chickens is long gone!
Before, the feed factory was still mixed with vegetables and corn, and the rice bran left over from the rice products factory beat the rice, so it lasted so long.
It's just that obviously neither pigs nor chickens can eat just rice bran and vegetables.
Zhou Li'an: "......"
This feed mill is also a little smart.
There is no food she specially prepared for the space in the space, and she knows to find something for the small animals to eat.
If she had come by herself, the chickens and piglets would have been gone!
It's all her big baby.
In these difficult times, if you want to live a nourishing little life, you can rely on them.
She immediately went looking for food!
Zhou Li'an came out of the space in the shower room, facing the not bright kerosene lamp light-
Zhou Li'an: "......"
Calm down.
In the middle of the night, where did she go to find food?
She was going to buy it.
But this big night, I'm afraid it's not easy to buy.
In the end, Zhou Li'an went to the space to harvest the corn that was not yet fully ripe and arranged it for his pigs and chickens.
Originally, only about half an acre of corn was planted.
In addition, he ate tender corn before and put it in the dish to supply some to the textile factory canteen, and Zhou Li'an only received almost 500 catties of corn this time.
Zhou Li'an took a look at the consumption of piglets and chickens in the feed factory.
A chicken, because it grows faster in space than outside, needs to consume a pound of food a day.
There are a total of twelve chickens in the space, which is twelve catties a day.
A pig needs three catties of grain a day in the space, and six catties are eighteen catties.
When the pigs grow up, they will only eat more and more.
At present, it takes 30 catties of grain a day to feed chickens and pigs in the space.
More than 500 catties, that is, half a month.
In order to prevent them from being short of food, Zhou Li'an decided to plant corn in the space today first, and arrange potatoes and sweet potatoes tomorrow.
As for why potatoes and sweet potatoes are arranged tomorrow, it is naturally because there are no two seeds in the space.
She had put some in before, and they had all been eaten in the feed mill.
Ay.
It's not easy to raise small animals.
Potatoes can be harvested in forty-five days outside, and it is half a month in space.
Sweet potatoes take three months on the outside and a month on the outside.
As for corn, it takes nearly four months to harvest tender corn outside, and fully ripe corn is more than a month longer than tender corn.
Fortunately, if you can plant potatoes and sweet potatoes in the space tomorrow, half a month later, the potatoes will also be ripe, and they will be almost just right.
After a false alarm, Zhou Li'an said that in the future, he would need to pay attention to whether the food in the space was enough to eat.
The first time I raised these things, I didn't expect them to be so edible, Zhou Li'an was a little panicked!
Following.
After Zhou Li'an came back from delivering the vegetables, she ran to the firewood room and got the potatoes and sweet potatoes she was going to keep to eat into the space.
Sweet potatoes are enough.
After all, sweet potatoes can be grown from cuttings.
But these potatoes are obviously not enough to grow one acre of land.
One acre of potatoes requires 400 to 600 catties of potatoes for seeding.
All the potatoes she has now are afraid that she doesn't have fifty catties.
Sorry, shabby.
Fifty pounds of potatoes for seeding can grow five hundred and fifty pounds of potatoes.
It's also 500 catties, and 500 catties after half a month, it shouldn't be enough space for small animals to eat for half a month, after all, the pigs at that time should grow up a lot.
Still have to buy it.
Zhou Li'an thought of Lu Yanzhou, who had just woken up at home, wasn't this her ready-made excuse to go to the brigade to buy food?
After all, there are more people in the family, so why don't you eat more?
"I'll go out for a while."
Zhou Li'an and Lu Yanzhou said a word, and then hurriedly went to the captain.
Zhou Li'an went to the captain to buy 300 catties of potatoes and 200 catties of corn, spending a total of 35 yuan.
Potatoes are obviously not enough to grow one acre of land, but Zhou Li'an didn't dare to buy more.
On the same day, after Zhou Li'an bought the grain home, rumors spread in the village that Zhou Li'an abused Lu Yanzhou.
