Chapter Seventy-Five: Heavy Snow Seals the Mountain, Start Stockpiling!
In the past, many people in the countryside did this, killing two birds with one stone, and not wasting a little.
After all the charcoal was burned, I felt that the house was warm, and several people sat next to the charcoal pot to warm their hands, and they kept breathing.
Ye Lianzhi took out a pack of spiced melon seeds, poured some into everyone's hands, and swallowed the melon seeds with trembling teeth, and the skin of the melon seeds fell directly into the charcoal basin and turned into ashes.
"Mother, how long can our firewood last?" Ye Lianzhi looked into the stove house, a wall of firewood, a few bags of charcoal, and a few bags of shavings......
Although it looks like a lot, firewood cooking is the most expensive.
"Save a little, the firewood and charcoal cycle is estimated to be a month, you go back to the space to take out the hot water bottle, we don't need charcoal for heating and keep it for cooking later, it should be more economical."
Wang Dahua calculated and began to arrange, Ye Lianzhi nodded, and Ye Yaozu echoed, "Yes, you can hold it when you sleep at night, so as not to use charcoal, in case of poisoning, it will not be good." ”
"You stay first, I'll go to the village chief's house and ask, it's really panicked that it has snowed for so many days!" Ye Muke got up and was about to pull the door when there was a knock outside.
Looking at the shadows reflected on the door, there were several people, large and small, tall and short.
Ye Lianzhi, Ye Yaozu and Wang Dahua immediately hid the melon seeds in their hands in their pockets, and all the melon seed skins in their hands were thrown in, splashing sparks.
"Big brother, it's me, open the door!"
It was the sound of Ye Jindou, the sparks disappeared, Ye Mudao opened the door, and hurriedly let a few people outside, there were the third uncle Ye Jindou, the third aunt Chen Juanjuan, the village chief Wang Fugui, the Orion Wang Dashan, and Lao Li Tou.
Ye Yaozu lifted two benches, gave up positions in two directions, and everyone sat down together, sitting in front of the fire for a long time before breathing a sigh of relief.
The calloused wound on the village chief's hand had just healed, and there was a little flesh on his face, but his eyes were worried.
"Just now I went to Crispy Peach Village to ask their village chief, saying that it would snow in previous years, and it would usually stop in half a month, don't be afraid, it's so big, I'm afraid you're worried, so I specially came to every family to say it, so everyone can rest assured."
"That's good, that's good, we just wanted to come to you!" Ye Mutang answered, brought a few bowls of hot boiled water, added sugar, one bowl per person.
"However, our mountain is different from the opposite mountain, there are not so many terraces as a buffer, and the terrain is steeper, so if the snow on the mountain accumulates too much, it is easy to rush down the mountain, and then our last row of houses is afraid that it will be flooded, so from tomorrow, every household must pay attention to the situation in the back mountain!"
Wang Fugui's voice was extremely low, and he coughed again as he spoke, Ye Lianzhi and Wang Dahua glanced at each other, understanding that he had a cold, Ye Lianzhi got up, went to the stove house and took two lumps of ginger and handed them over.
"Grandpa the village chief, this is the wild ginger we dug up in the mountains before, boiling water and drinking it can ward off the cold, you go home and try it, the wind chill will get better quickly!"
Wild ginger?
"I haven't heard of this thing for a long time, it used to be a restaurant in the town, I don't recognize it, I, cough cough, I really need it, just give me one, such a big two, you can also keep some!"
Wang Fugui stretched out his hand to take it, and when he returned half of it, he was pushed back by the leaf barrel.
After a while, several people plucked up their courage, went out, and hurried home.
Because of peace of mind, in the next two weeks, the Ye family will ponder delicious and nourishing food every day, and eat five meals a day.
Several people have visibly gained weight.
What braised pork, sauce elbow with egg fried rice; Pork with corn rice; Dry pot chicken and fat sausage, drink Cantonese sweet soup at night.
Mushroom hot pot, spicy hot pot, wheat cake, cake...... In an endless stream, the big buns were steamed for three days, and they ate happily every day, which is called a happy and rich rice worm life.
Moreover, the vegetables have always used wild vegetables in the space, I don't know if it's the reason, their yellow and thin appearance has recovered by 50% in just half a month, compared to other people, they really look white and ruddy.
One look at a healthy color!
Half a month passed in a flash, half of the firewood in the stove house was used, there were a few more pockets of charcoal, and the snow had condensed into ice, getting thicker and thicker, but there was no sign of melting half a minute.
There is also too much snow in the back mountain, and the whole valley seems to be crowded!
The difficulty of wanting to go up the mountain has also become extremely high, and the skiing is like a ski arena, and people who lack firewood borrow firewood everywhere, and they look forward to half a month when the snow begins to melt and you can go up the mountain.
However, the seventeenth day arrived, and there was still no sign of the snow melting.
That is, the goose feather snow turned into sporadic light snow, and I thought it would stop completely in two days, but until the twentieth day, it was still sporadic light snow.
After all, this flood began to start two years ago, and everyone thought it was just an ordinary disaster.
What if it's the same this time?
Everyone went out to look at the mountain, picked up all the tools that could be used to climb the mountain, and went to the other mountains outside the two mountains where they lived to cut down trees, even if it was wet, they had to come back to dry it and use it again, otherwise there would be no firewood to burn.
Ye Lianzhi also moved some firewood into the space, trying to breed indefinitely, and their family didn't have much firewood.
At the same time, the people of Crispy Peach Village also began to go up the mountain, and they were walking on the road in a bad mood.
"For many years Chinese New Year's Eve, it will only stop in the second half of the month! And the next day must be a big sun! This year is so unusual! ”
"I know that too! Do you think it's because of the bad luck that those people have come, or why did it suddenly change? And don't they say it too? Outside, they fled the famine for two years! ”
"The good days won't just be gone, will they? We're not going to run away with them, are we? Then they are really a disaster! Go and sue the village chief and see what the village chief has to say! ”
"Yes, I'll go at night, now let's go up the mountain to get some firewood, and get some wild things, I haven't eaten meat for a long time!"
……
They were irritable in their hearts, and they didn't bother to deal with the people of Huangsha Village who greeted them, and even gave them a blank look.
Ye Lianzhi tested that anything in the space could be infinitely reproduced for 24 hours, so the family also went up the mountain to chop firewood, hiding people's ears and adding more firewood to the family.
But in three days, a big firewood wall was built at home!
However, the snow became heavier again, and it turned into goose feather snow again, so that those who went out could not open their eyes, and the mountain wind with the tiger roaring was particularly blowing!
Everyone's hanging hearts are even more worried!
It's only a week and a whole month!
At night, everyone was lying in bed, and suddenly they heard a boom, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and then some landslide...... Landslide?!
"Oh no, there's an avalanche!" Someone shouted!
