Qi Fu smiled, "We didn't grow it ourselves, but we bought it?" Try this melon seed, if it weren't for everyone coming, my daughter-in-law would be reluctant to fry it. ”

"Brother Qi and sister-in-law can still plant, and the melon seeds grow bigger than the one in my field." Xia Qing really admired it, and took a melon seed and ate it.

She hadn't eaten it for too many years, and she forgot what it tasted like to fry melon seeds, and she just thought it was delicious.

Not only Xia Qing thought so, but Zhao's mother also sighed, "I didn't expect that I could still eat fried melon seeds in my life." ”

Shi Ji asked, "Sunflower seeds can not only be fried, but also squeezed for oil." The oil we squeeze ourselves is definitely better than the one we bought, and the oil has a long shelf life, which can last a few months longer than melon seeds. Can Brother Kuang get an oil press? ”

Cong Qingwei raised his finger and pointed up, "...... The oil press is banned, and the second base of Hui does not supply to our base. It is said that they are afraid that the lords will use corn to extract oil and waste grain. ”

There is no need for everyone to ask, Kuang Qingwei explained why squeezing corn oil wastes food.

The oil content of corn is only 3%-4%, and it is concentrated in the germ of corn. When extracting oil, you need to break the corn kernels first to obtain the corn germ. If the germ contains a lot of impurities such as corn starch, it will not only waste food, but also reduce the oil yield. Therefore, to squeeze corn oil, you have to use a special large oil press.

Large oil presses were expensive, and it was impossible for the lords to buy them, so the base simply banned even small household oil presses.

Zhao's mother complained, "Even if it's for this, you can't ban the oil press, and you can still squeeze sunflower oil." ”

Shi Ji also said, "Yes, the oil cake left over from squeezing sunflower oil can be eaten, and it can also be used to feed chickens, fish, and fertilizer, and it will not be wasted at all." ”

Concord Qingwei smiled bitterly, "Let's eat the oil squeezed from the yellow lantern sunflower seeds, which is a waste in the eyes of some people." ”

In the year of natural disasters, high-quality resources were monopolized by the upper strata at high prices, and ordinary people at the bottom of society could only feed their hunger with compressed rations made of grass and a small amount of grain, barely surviving.

If it weren't for the fact that they came out of the territory to farm and grew sunflower seeds themselves, they couldn't afford to buy such a precious spice as oil.

Even if the lords have the materials in their hands after they come out to farm, they can't exchange the green light and yellow lamp oil, which is not only because of the price, but because there is no goods at all.

They can only exchange the oil squeezed from the seeds of the red light plant, and the taste and nutrients are not comparable to the oil squeezed from the green and yellow light seeds.

This is the most infuriating part: even if the radio said that the ceiling is rotten, but the actual situation is that the sunflower seeds that the lords have worked so hard to grow are collected by the territorial management department at a price of 25 points a catty, but the lords can't buy the food and oil processed in Chengdu!

"Only by eating well can we improve our physical fitness, resist environmental pollution, promote the evolution of the body, get rid of the identity of ordinary people, and become an evolutionary. In the more than half a year since I came out, my daughter-in-law and I have improved our strength evolution levels. ”

Qi Fu is not lying, although he is infected with a super germ caused by the evolution of strength, but his daughter-in-law has actually improved the level of strength evolution because of the improvement of her diet.

Xia Qing also affirmed this, "In the more than half a year since I came out, my strength evolution level has also increased. ”

"My son too, and my wife and I are getting better." Shi also confirmed, "The environment is getting worse and worse, and it will be more and more difficult for ordinary people to survive by eating compressed rations." Brother Kuang, how old are you this year? ”

Cong Qingwei replied, "44, but my daughter-in-law is only 22 this year, and there is still the possibility of evolution, and now all the good things in my family are eaten by her." We plan to wait until she has evolved her abilities before we have children. ”

Qi Fu also said, "My daughter-in-law is 33 this year, and there are still two years to improve her evolutionary ability, and we plan to wait until she is over 35 to have children." ”

Zhao's mother also has her own calculations, "My Aze is 38 this year, and he is over the age of two, but he married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to grandchildren, so he needs to eat safe food." With such a large territory, someone has to inherit it, right? ”

After saying that, everyone laughed.

Before they came out of the territory, they didn't think about this, it's good to be alive. Farming is hard work, and the risk is indeed high, but there is hope for the future, and they have vitality to live.

The atmosphere has improved, and if you didn't say anything because you had concerns, you can say it now.

Kuang Qingwei, who was well-informed, lowered his voice, "I heard the rumors, but I may not be sure: the invasion of territories 158 and 159 yesterday to grab food may have been done by the people of the Shufeng Clan." ”

"Possibly." Xia Qing also had this suspicion, "The No. 158 territory is inhabited by military families, and the defense should be stricter than ours here." By doing this, he can not only attack the base chief's faction, take the opportunity to plant people in the investigation team, but also scare the lord and collect the grain and vegetables as soon as possible. ”

Mother Zhao was also very indignant, "More than half of the lack of morality in our base is done by the Shufeng team. ”

Shi Qian whispered, "Don't hide it from everyone, I just want to hand over a few dozen catties of corn, and the rest will be sealed and left in the territory." This winter, our family will not go back to the safe zone, we will grow vegetables in a greenhouse in the territory, not to mention how many points we can sell, at least we can eat fresh green light vegetables. ”

Qi Fu also nodded, "We plan to do the same." ”

Zhao's mother also said, "Zhao Ze and I want to learn how to build a greenhouse, and when the time comes, it will be indispensable to trouble everyone." ”

Qi Fu felt that this was not difficult, "My aunt has already planted two crops, and planting a greenhouse is one more fire wall and a piece of plastic film, and everything else is the same." Zhao Ze is in engineering, come and take a look at the greenhouse we made, and you will know how to get it. ”

Although Xia Qing didn't speak, she had already exchanged several pieces of greenhouse plastic film, and she must have stayed in the territory.

Kuang Qingwei, who had just planned to take his daughter-in-law back to the safe area for the winter because of the invasion, saw that they were not leaving, and he was a little moved.

It was safe to go back and live, but it was certainly not as good as eating in the territory and living spacious.

Xia Qing spoke, "I asked the third brother and Brother Luo, they are in the territory in winter. With the third brother and Brother Luo here, our territory is the safest of all the territories. ”

As soon as he heard Xia Qing's words, Kuang Qingwei immediately made up his mind, "The greenhouse must be built, and the vegetables must be planted!" The people in the safe zone thought that we had hidden a lot of food, and we would definitely not be able to live in peace when we went back to live. ”

Qi Fu added, "Xia Qing is right, we are a treasure here. To the north, we are close to Mount 49, which can block the cold wind and protect against wild beasts. Captain Tan of the investigation team is also very responsible, and when they encounter danger, Territory No. 1, Xia Qing and Territory No. 7 will help, and they can get timely treatment if they are sick or injured. ”

Cong Qingwei added, "There is also the No. 8 territory, Xin Yu is planning to build a factory for the production of fungus powder, and when there are more people in the No. 8 territory, our territory will be safer." The twelfth territory must also keep people, and Tang Dong opened more than 500 acres of wasteland. (End of chapter)
