Chapter 6 "Ploughing the Land and Farming"
It only took five minutes to harvest the corn field, and he straightened up, and Jiang Yan, who was busy with this, did not show a smile when he finished it, because the trouble was behind.
Sitting on the ground, Jiang Yan rubbed his somewhat sour waist, put away the sickle in his hand, picked up a corn stalk, and then broke off the corn on it.
"It's really hard work!"
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Jiang Yan sat on the ground and dried his head tightly, the corn stalks were placed behind him one by one, and an ear of corn was thrown by Jiang Yan onto the cement platform in front of the house.
After a long day's work, all the corn was finally broken, but that wasn't the end of it, the next thing to do was to collect the corn stalks.
"Hey!"
Holding his knees, Jiang Yan straightened his waist, Jiang Yan's tired mind when he stood up was dizzy, and his eyes saw Zhao Dabai playing in the water in the distance, and the nameless fire rose instantly.
"Zhao Dabai! Roll over here and help me pile up the cornstalks! ”
With an angry shout, Zhao Dabai's whole body trembled, and he turned around in horror, seeing Jiang Yan pinching his waist and gasping for breath in the distance, Zhao Dabai obediently approached him.
"Pile these corn stalks on the west side of the house, these are precious firewood." Pointing to the corn stalks in a field, Jiang Yan ordered.
Following the direction of Jiang Yan's finger, Zhao Dabai looked at the corn stalks all over the ground, revealing a trace of humane sadness, but in just a moment, Zhao Dabai instantly thought of a good idea.
"Whew."
Pretending to have an incomprehensible expression, Zhao Dabai stared at Doudou and looked at Jiang Yan innocently.
"I'll kick you! Don't pretend! I know you can understand, and if I come back in a while, if I find that nothing has changed, see how I clean you up! ”
The tired Jiang Yan instantly pierced Zhao Dabai's careful thoughts, dropped a sentence, and then walked towards the storage room.
At the moment, the preservation of food is the biggest problem, and if you want to preserve corn without ginger smoke in the refrigerator, there is only one way.
Taking out the snakeskin bag from the storage room, Jiang Yan looked at the cornfield, and at this moment, Zhao Dabai was collecting the corn stalks bitterly, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Store the corn on the roof, the corn itself is not afraid of deterioration, it is most afraid of the rats stealing food, put it on the roof can protect the corn to the greatest extent.
Taking out the snakeskin bag, Jiang Yan squatted on the ground and threw an ear of corn into the bag.
Collecting half a bag, Jiang Yan gritted his teeth and carried the corn on his back and climbed onto the roof.
"It seems that just half a bag was the right decision."
Standing on the roof, Jiang Yan poured out the corn in the bag, then straightened his waist and looked around.
The scenery on the roof is always so dazzling, the silence around, Yun Lan in the distance, Jiang Yan who saw all this breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't seem to be so tired at this moment.
"Is there anyone else around?"
Releasing his consciousness, Jiang Yan waited for the reply from the surrounding plants, and Jiang Yan, who received a negative reply half a minute later, climbed down the stairs with satisfaction.
Jiang Yan's communication range is about three thousand meters, although it can't reach the Xinglong River in the south, but it is enough for Jiang Yan now.
With the help of the power of nature, Jiang Yan is enough to maneuver around the current environment, and if you prepare a little, a few people will come, and Jiang Yan is not afraid.
For about an hour, the corn was hidden on the roof of the house by Jiang Yan, and he turned to look at Zhao Dabai, who had already collected the straw at some point, and even faster than Jiang Yan.
"Not bad!" Touching Zhao Dabai's forehead, Jiang Yan smiled with satisfaction.
The vegetable field that lost the corn seemed a little abrupt at the moment, like a naughty boy who had just shaved his head, which made Jiang Yan a little uncomfortable.
"But, it's not done yet."
As soon as the words changed, Jiang Yan looked at Zhao Dabai, his eyes full of conspiracy.
After harvesting the corn field, the roots of the corn must be dug out, otherwise it will not be able to be cultivated the next year, although the corn is harvested now, but the most tiring part has just arrived.
patted Zhao Dabai's head, Jiang Yan pointed to the corn field to distribute tasks, Zhao Dabai, who just wanted to rest, frowned and was about to knot, seeing Jiang Yan's face full of persistence, he reluctantly walked towards the corn field.
Taking out a hoe from the storage room, Jiang Yan followed Zhao Dabai and shaved corn roots.
In terms of digging corn roots, Zhao Dabai was surprisingly good, and the two bear paws were like assembly lines, shooting corn roots out of the land one by one.
"Roar!"
Digging out the next corn root, Zhao Dabai sat on the ground and panted, as a black bear, it was a little unbearable at the moment.
"It's hard, we're very good, we finished turning the cornfield in one day, I thought it would take a few days, I didn't expect you to be so good!"
Sitting in front of Zhao Dabai, Jiang Yan took out a boiled corn and praised Zhao Dabai with admiration on his face.
After working for a long time, Zhao Dabai was already hungry at this moment, and bit off the corn in Jiang Yan's hand, listening to the latter's praise, Zhao Dabai couldn't help but his little feet.
Sitting on the bluestone, Jiang Yan gnawed on the corn in his hand, the current time is estimated to be two o'clock in the afternoon, and now the corn field has been turned over, and the rest is the potato field.
Full of wine and food, Jiang Yan rested for half an hour, and Zhao Dabai in the distance simply lay on the ground and fell asleep.
Feeling the recovery of his physical strength, Jiang Yan propped up his body from the Taishi chair, and then walked in front of Zhao Dabai and patted the latter's head.
"Get up and dig potatoes."
The abrupt voice disturbed Zhao Dabai's dream, stretched out his paw and slapped Jiang Yan's hand, Zhao Dabai turned lazily.
"Get up!"
Seeing Zhao Dabai's lazy expression, Jiang Yan suddenly raised his voice, and the sudden change frightened Zhao Dabai to sit up instantly, and a pair of beanie eyes looked at Jiang Yan with a frightened face.
"Dig up all the potatoes and give you some more food tonight."
Dropping a sentence lightly, Jiang Yan walked towards the potato field with a small shovel, she knew Zhao Dabai's temperament very well, but whenever it was mentioned something related to eating, the latter would be full of energy.
Sure enough, Zhao Dabai, who heard this, struggled to get up and ran to the potato field, and then showed his paws and rummaged through the potatoes.
Zhao Dabai knows very well that Jiang Yan has a food library, as long as Jiang Yan says that it is delicious, it will generally be very delicious!
With Zhao Dabai's help, all the potatoes were turned out in a short time, although Zhao Dabai stole some in the middle, but Jiang Yan didn't dig too deep, after all, if he wanted people to work, at least let him get some benefits.
Putting the potatoes into a snakeskin bag and dragging them into the room, the basement of the storage room is extremely cold, which has a unique advantage in storing food.
After all this, Jiang Yan walked out of the room with a box of rations, today's labor can no longer be recovered by relying on the previous coarse grain, and if you want to replenish your strength, you can only rely on the stored military rations.
Lighting the stove, ginger smoke poured a pot of water, put the potatoes and corn into the pot to cook, and then the ginger smoke went to the backyard, looking for the dead fruit hanging on the tree.
Unlike the vegetable field in the front yard, the backyard is much larger, with a variety of fruit trees and even a large number of vegetables.
