59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.
Chapter 141: Stocking up on meat for the winter
The whole morning passed by while I ate grapes and read books.
"Big pot, full."
Chen Li touched her belly, leaned on him, and looked very happy.
"Want sleep."
Chen Feng held her in his arms, looked at the time, it was almost 12 o'clock, so he stood up and returned the book.
"Ahem, Comrade Chen."
The administrator took one look at the library card and said, "Do you have any grapes left?"
Chen Feng smiled and shook his head, saying apologetically, "Not much left."
There are indeed a lot of grapes in the space, but it is November now!
It is not something that ordinary people can do to get so many grapes.
"It's okay, you're welcome to come often." The administrator said in an unusually kind manner.
When I left the park holding the sleepy little girl, I had four thick grape vines in my hands.
It turned out that a small portion of the grapes on the vines went into the stomachs of Chen Feng and Chen Li, while most of them were squeezed into juice and stored in soda bottles.
Like crops such as rice, grapes are self-pollinating and do not need the help of small animals such as butterflies and bees for pollination. There is pollen on the end of its petals, and the pollen will fall back into the flower to complete the pollination process.
However, when Chen Feng went up the mountain before, he still placed a beehive and some bees into the expanded space.
Now, more than half a month has passed, and they have not only formed a swarm, but the individuals are also twice as large as normal bees.
"Let you work hard for a while, and then take more honey when there is more."
Chen Feng took a look at the beehive on the apple tree and decided to wait.
Although the food in the space continues to bloom and bear fruit, there are still not many bees, and they must be allowed to further expand the colony.
Bees can fly about 160km a day, and the capacity of their honey sacs is about 0.03 to 0.05 grams.
A bee flies out about 15 times a day and can collect up to 0.75 grams of honey a day. However, nectar contains a lot of water, about 70%, and it must be brewed by bees to become honey with a water content of no more than 20%.
That is to say, a bee can only collect 0.27 grams of nectar after working hard for a whole day and flying hundreds of kilometers.
To make one kilogram of honey, bees must collect raw materials from 20 to 500 million flowers.
Nature’s model worker is so terrifying!
If you want to drink honey every day, it is impossible without tens of thousands of bees and a vast sea of flowers.
"Xiao Feng, you're back. Didn't you go fishing?"
A group of middle-aged women asked enthusiastically.
Chen Feng keenly felt that they were particularly happy that he didn't go fishing.
"No, I went to read today. There is no shortage of food at home."
The aunties' expressions became noticeably stiff.
Chen Feng laughed secretly in his heart.
People are afraid that others live better than themselves.
When I got home, the master was taking the pulse of the residents nearby.
This is also one of the ways for the old man to gain prestige.
Chen Feng carried the little girl into his room and placed her on Chen Hao's bed.
He picked up a shovel and enthusiastically dug four holes in front of his house and carefully planted the grape vines.
At the same time, he inserted four bamboo poles into it, and used sticks and some straw ropes to start building a simple grape rack.
In order to make the vines grow as quickly as possible, he came up with a little trick.
While no one was paying attention, he quietly sprinkled two bowls of well water and slowly poured it into the soil around the vines.
Since Zhou Qing started working, he likes to have lunch at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. His purpose is to save a little money.
Chen Feng took the initiative to come out and cook for himself so that the old lady could have a rest.
The old man couldn't sit still, so he went to wake up Chen Li in the room.
"Lily, wake up! It's time for lunch~"
In a daze, Chen Li heard someone calling her name, but her eyelids seemed to be glued shut and she couldn't open them.
After a while, the voice came again. Chen Li barely opened her eyes and replied in a slightly sleepy tone: "Grandma, I'm full."
"What did you eat? Why are you full now?" the old lady asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"Grapes! Lots of big, sweet grapes!"
When she thought of the sweet taste of grapes, Chen Li suddenly became much more sober and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.
"You little greedy cat, you only know how to eat." Looking at her granddaughter's adorable appearance, the old lady couldn't help but laugh and scold, then reached out to pull Chen Li up, and also straightened her wrinkled clothes.
In the following days, Chen Feng either read at home or went fishing in Beihai, Yuanmingyuan and other places. He continued to exchange "large quantities" of fruits and canned food from the cannery, and at the same time met the fresh fish and meat needs of some steel mills and street offices.
The relationship between Ran Qiuye and Sha Zhu, and between Lou Xiaoe and Chen Jianguo is progressing rapidly.
Especially the former, one has a hard time finding a partner, and the other can't find a partner. After more than ten days of contact, their feelings for each other have grown rapidly.
These days, the little girl never leaves my side.
Wherever he went, she would follow.
"Okay, Lily, I'm going to the mountain to catch rabbits. You wait for me at home."
Chen Li grabbed the corner of his clothes and was unwilling to let go.
But the old man still has a way.
"If you keep holding me, you won't be allowed to eat lunch."
The magic weapon used by the old man is extremely powerful.
"Big Pot, you must come back early."
The little girl said pitifully.
"Okay, I'll be back as soon as possible."
Chen Feng specially brought two big bags this time.
We will soon enter a very cold winter at the end of November or December, and it may even snow heavily.
He wanted to stock up enough meat for his family before the snow fell.
"Chen Feng, wait a moment."
When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhang Xiaohua saw it with his sharp eyes and hurriedly chased after him.
Chen Feng pretended not to hear and rode away at high speed on his bicycle.
But his actions backfired.
"Chen Feng, wait for me!"
Zhang Xiaohua caught up with them on a new bicycle.
Judging from her expression, she won't give up until she achieves her goal.
Chen Feng had no choice but to stop and asked, "Why are you chasing me?"
"I have nothing to do at the supply and marketing cooperative, so I'll go hunting in the mountains with you."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you. I will exchange the prey I hunt with your tickets. I can exchange pheasants and rabbits for mutton tickets."
"I received news that a batch of old sheep from Inner Mongolia will be sent to Beijing in the next few days."
Various supplies enter the city every day, including sea fish from Tianjin, cattle from Inner Mongolia, sheep from Taihang Mountains, fruits from Hebei, grains from Northeast China, etc.
The major sheep include the "Nan Dao White-headed Sheep" nearby, such as the mutton from Yi County, Lai Shui and Quyang in Hebei Province; the further away are the Beikou Sheep, which refers to Zhangjiakou, Zhangbei and Inner Mongolia.
Sijiu City has support from all provinces across the country, and the supplies are pretty good.
There is a shortage of pork in Shanghai, so mutton and beef are often used instead.
1959年3月上旬,以牛肉顶替,比例为1:1;3月中旬,以羊肉顶替,比例为1:1;4月上旬,以熟肉顶替,比例为1:1;5月下旬起,以再制蛋10只顶替0.5公斤猪肉;10月下旬,熟猪油以1:1的比例顶替伙食团、饮食业用肉。
Mutton and beef replaced pork, and this only happened in this special era.
Chen Feng's heart moved, and he asked, "I don't eat sheep, I prefer antiques, you want to exchange for antiques?"
Zhang Xiaohua was furious. She rolled her eyes at him and said calmly, "These are two live pheasants. I want to raise them to lay eggs."
It's not easy to catch a live pheasant.
She felt that this difficult problem would be difficult for Chen Feng.
"no problem!"
Chen Feng agreed immediately. It was just like releasing two pheasants from the space. He said, "I want something good that is more than three hundred years old."
"You're so greedy!"
Zhang Xiaohua felt distressed.
Taking one look at Lai Fu lying in the bag, I felt extremely envious.
If you want to get the Wu family's dog, you need more than just money and power.
Mr. Wu loves dogs as if they were his life. Not everyone can buy the dog son he raises.
