Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

"Crack, crack, crack, cough, cough, cough!" Han Zhaozhao tried hard to cough out the shredded radish stuck in her throat. She choked and her eyes turned red. She almost dropped the saline solution and came out to hit someone in anger.

"Xiao Sanzi, you bad guy, you almost choked me to death! Xiaoyun, catch him and beat him hard. It's not over until he changes!"

"Hey, stop hitting me, stop hitting me, you two fierce girls, you are too fierce, who will dare to marry you when you grow up?"

Niu Xiaoyun: "You still have something to say, you still have something to say? You have the worst mouth, and you deserve to be beaten for your stinky mouth the most!"

The three little friends were playing in circles in the yard, and after playing for a while they were all out of breath.

They sat together again and exchanged gossip. Xiao Sanzi was a man with worthless legs. He loved to run around the streets and knew the most gossip.

This kid was not a polite person and reached out to snatch the half carrot from Han Zhaozhao's hand.

Han Zhaozhao was startled and retracted his hand reflexively. Xiao Sanzi rolled his eyes and said, "Zhaozhao, when did you become so stingy? It's only half a carrot, and you've already bitten it. Why are you reluctant to give it to me?"

Oh! That's it! Han Zhaozhao suddenly realized!

The current Han Zhaozhao is no longer the Han Zhaozhao of the past. This half piece of radish is what she has gnawed on, so she can’t just throw it away and let him eat it.

"Who is stingy and doesn't want to give you food? Who made me almost get choked?

If you want to eat, go to the kitchen and get some. There are several in the basket in the corner. Eat and wash them yourself. You are old enough to eat, so just treat me."

Xiao Sanzi ran to the kitchen and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? It's as if no one wants to eat your leftovers!"

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he screamed like a pig being slaughtered, "Han Zhaozhao, the pot is boiling. What are you cooking in the pot? Don't let it overflow."

Oh my god, there's water boiling in the pot, she was so busy playing that she forgot about it!

Han Zhaozhao shouted, "Xiao Sanzi, help me turn off the fire. I'm boiling some water." He trotted to the main room, took out two empty thermos bottles, and hurried into the kitchen.

First, remove the cork from the thermos, then drain the water residue in the thermos to the corridor outside the door. Then, put the thermos on the stove, take out the ladle from the water tank and pour the boiling water in the pot into the thermos.

The thermos was full, but there was still some left in the pot. Han Zhaozhao scraped it out with a ladle and poured it into a large bowl, leaving it to dry on the stove.

He re-washed the pot, added two scoops of water, and prepared to boil the pot to cook. Han Zhaozhao's face was bitter. It was another day without meat!

Thinking about this afternoon, I wandered around in the woods for half an afternoon but didn’t find the legendary pheasants and rabbits. I can only continue to eat sweet potato and corn porridge tonight.

"Xiao Sanzi, why are there no pheasants or rabbits in the woods where we collect firewood?

I've heard people say there are a lot of wild animals in the suburbs, but why have I never seen any?"

"Hahaha, Zhaozhao, you're craving for meat too, aren't you? Want to catch pheasants or rabbits?

What are you thinking? With your ability, can you really catch pheasants and rabbits? Don't be ridiculous!" Xiao Sanzi laughed at her while chewing a big carrot.

Han Zhaozhao:...She forgot again that in the eyes of others, she is just a child!

"What are you laughing at? Aren't you afraid of getting stuck? Just tell me when I ask you! Don't you know anything? You always pretend to know everything. I knew you were just a big braggart!"

Xiao Sanzi: How can I accept being looked down upon by a little girl?

"How could I not know? Don't you know that my nickname is Dongcheng Baixiaosheng?

As long as it’s about our East City, there’s nothing that your little brother doesn’t know.

Since you want to know, I'll tell you. There used to be pheasants and rabbits in the grove, but that was in the early years.

Back then, the vast land and mountains over there were all private properties of the wealthy, and the common people did not dare to touch even a blade of grass or a tree there.

The master had a number of servants, and the land was vast and rich in resources, so the servants were not interested in catching wild animals. It is said that at that time wild animals were running all over the land.

Later, when the country was founded, primary cooperatives were set up, and the land and forests became state-owned, and the people could take them at will.

No one cares when city dwellers go up the mountain to chop firewood or reclaim wasteland, and whoever catches these wild animals owns them. In just a few years, all the wild animals in the vicinity have been caught.

Those that can’t be caught are also scared away. These wild animals are not stupid! If you want to catch wild animals now, you have to go up the mountain.

Zhaozhao, I tell you, even if you know there are wild animals on the mountain, you can't sneak up the mountain alone. I heard that in the mountains near our capital, there are not only pheasants and rabbits, but also wild sheep, roe deer, badgers, foxes, wild boars and wild wolves.

According to the old people, there were tigers and leopards in the mountains in the past! There were also many wild boars and wolves. If you encounter one, it can be fatal. Those beasts eat people! "

Han Zhaozhao looked timid on the surface, but was actually very surprised inside!

Oh my God, she never thought that the mountains outside the capital city in this era would be so rich in resources. She would no longer be afraid of having no meat to eat!

The meat has been found, but the food and fruits are still missing! Xiao Sanzi runs around all day, and has more sources of information than the aunties on the street!

Han Zhaozhao: "Brother Sanzi, I want to plant some fruit trees in the yard. Do you know anyone who has some delicious varieties?

I asked my grandmother to go to the door and ask for some tree seeds to plant in the yard. After a few years, we can eat fruits as much as we want without having to spend money to buy them. "

"Why are you begging for help? Is it necessary for Grandma Han to intervene for such a small matter? Tell me, what kind of fruit do you want to grow? I'll find some for you."

"Really? Do you know anyone who has good fruit trees? Just ask them how much they cost. It doesn't matter what variety, as long as they taste good, you can buy two.

Brother Sanzi, when the seeds bear fruit, I will save the first one for you to eat!" Han Zhaozhao began to make a big promise.

Xiao Sanzi chuckled: "Don't forget what you said! I'll go find it for you later, and you can find me. I do have connections to buy fruit tree seedlings.

My classmate's grandfather used to be a gardener in the prince's palace. His family not only had a large orchard in the suburbs, but also a large flower bed.

Just tell me when you want it. If we give him money, he will definitely let us dig it. After the establishment of the cooperative, the rural areas are busy planting grain. The saplings he raised before have grown up, and they are worried because they are hard to sell! "

Han Zhaozhao was so happy. She didn't expect that there were professional gardeners in the capital!

By the way, it is not yet time to implement the people’s commune. The farmers all have land distributed after the land reform and can make their own decisions. As long as they pay enough public grain, the rest is at their disposal.

Every household has its own grain and vegetable seeds, and there is no limit on the number of poultry and livestock raised. Except for surplus grain and eggs, the state requires that they be sold to public purchasing stations at prescribed prices.

Farmers are also allowed to sell some agricultural products freely in farmers' markets or rural fairs or barter them.

As long as you don't engage in reselling, speculation, or disrupt market prices, no one will care.

Han Zhaozhao got a lot of information from Xiao Sanzi. She knew that at this time in the city's farmers' market, not only did nearby farmers come to sell their own vegetables, fruits and melons, but also their own chickens, ducks, mutton and pork.

There is also a small group of people selling seafood and river fish. It is said that they sell sea fish from Tianjin.

Han Zhaozhao listened quietly to Xiao Sanzi showing off his knowledge, and silently kept the information that he was concerned about in his heart.

She must go to the Dongfeng Market as soon as possible to sweep it!

Her space is now eerily quiet, and she urgently needs cute little animals such as chickens, ducks, and geese to supplement the species.
