Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

After the old lady finished refining the oil, she scooped all the oil, including the residue, into the oil jar. It was impossible to eat dumplings stuffed with the residue.

Why would you eat so well when there are no guests at home? Life is about keeping things simple. It is a luxury to have a little oil with residue when stewing a dish.

In most families, they stew it in plain water without adding a drop of oil. But people still enjoy eating it with licking their lips and feeling very satisfied!

There are families who live a life of luxury. They always hang a bamboo chopstick wrapped in gauze in the oil can. When cooking, they just dip the gauze in some oil and wipe the bottom of the pot. That's considered oil. After frying a pot of food, there are almost no oil beads. This is also called stir-frying!

If you take a look at anyone’s kitchen now, you will see nothing but dust and not even the slightest smell of cooking fumes, not to mention any oil stains. You won’t even want to see them in the next twenty years!

In the evening, the old lady cooked cabbage vermicelli and made cornmeal pancakes.

Looking at the hole dug in the flour bag, Han Zhaozhao felt sorry for her grandmother.

"Don't feel bad, the food coupons will be issued soon. Zhaozhao, after you get the food coupons, you will have to buy the food for next month. Can you carry it?"

“Grandma, don’t worry, I will team up with the neighbor in the front yard to buy food.

Today I took out our small cart and had a look. It works pretty well and I can push it. When the time comes, I will push the cart and I won’t have any problem getting back even if there are too many things.”

"Hey! The two of us, grandparents and grandchildren, only weigh a little over 40 kilograms, how can there be any more?

Life in the city is neither good nor bad, but the good thing is that there is a guaranteed harvest regardless of drought or flood, and food is supplied at the beginning of the month.

The bad thing is the food ration. Each person can get too little. If the cook is a little lax, there will be a shortage of food and the whole family will go hungry.

When I first came here, there was no food control. As long as your parents gave me some money, I would buy it all and save it.

I feel uneasy when there is no food stored at home!" Han Zhaozhao understood immediately, her grandmother had experienced a famine and was afraid of hunger!

"It's only been two or three years since then, and food is being rationed again. Alas, I don't know how the harvest is going back home this year, and your aunt hasn't sent any news.

The Northeast autumn harvest is supposed to be over, and the packages from my hometown should have arrived in the next few days. Do you think anything will happen to your aunt's family?"

Han Zhaozhao didn't have much impression of her aunt, but she knew that every year the better clothes she could not wear were sent back to her hometown by her grandmother.

Her aunt's family had many children, some older than her and some younger than her. Supplies were even more scarce in the countryside, and there was no money to buy cloth, so no one had enough clothes to wear.

Most of her clothes have no patches and look almost new, and are very popular in rural areas.

"What could be going on at my aunt's house? They might be busy storing firewood!"

"Yes, the winter in the Northeast is very cold, and it's time to chop firewood. Hey! Forget about her. We have a lot of family affairs this year, and we can't help much if there is any problem!

Oh, where was I just now? Oh! Now I remember, when you go to the grain store, don't forget to bring an extra cloth bag, in case they supply other grains and you don't have anything to store them.

If sweet potato flour and sorghum flour are supplied, buy some as well. It doesn't matter what kind of grain it is, buy as much as you can, and buy less fine grains.

When times are bad, more whole grains can save lives! I always feel sad when the old grains I saved are gone.

It looks like I'll have to plant fewer rows of greens next year, and more potatoes, sweet potatoes, and more pumpkins. As the old saying goes, vegetables are half a year's food, so it's better to save more food to feel at ease. "

Han Zhaozhao admired the old lady's wisdom in life: "Grandma, pumpkins can also be grown on a trellis. Plant more and let the vines climb up the wall. I heard that it can produce more fruits.

Grandma, didn’t you say you wanted to cut your hair? Why haven’t you cut it yet? Are you too busy at work?

"It's quite busy, otherwise the station wouldn't hire any more people. The tiles on the roof of the station are broken and no one repairs them. In the summer, it leaks when it rains, and the piles of paper and wood in the house are all rotten.

There was nothing we could do before because we were short of manpower, but now there are two of us, and if we don’t tidy things up, letting those things continue to ferment would be a big problem.

These days, all the waste that should be sent to the paper mill has been transported away, and all the waste that should be sent to the steel mill has also been taken away. The purchasing station has cleared a large area, and it is much cleaner now than before.

I have to repair the roof in a few days, and I will be busy for a while, so I won’t have time to cut my hair.

By the way, Zhaozhao, grandma found a dozen picture books that were all pretty good, so she bought them all for five cents.

Isn’t this your favorite? Here you go, save it for watching with your friends!"

What the old lady didn't say was that she couldn't get over the fact that she had to let Old Wang cut her hair. It seemed that after these busy days, she would have to ask her old sisters to help her cut her hair.

"Thank you grandma!"

Han Zhaozhao took the comic book with surprise. She didn't expect such a good thing to happen! She thought that now was not the time for chaos and the time to pick up bargains!

There is also room for appreciation in the value of picture books, especially those hand-painted by calligraphy and painting masters, which are very worth collecting.

After a sumptuous dinner, the grandparents washed the dishes and pots, did needlework for more than an hour under the dim light in the main room, and shared an apple. Then they washed up and went back to their rooms to rest.

Now that Han Zhaozhao had an apple sapling, he was no longer interested in just a few apple seeds.

Excitedly, he returned to the west room with a dozen picture books, locked the door, turned off the lights, and went straight into the space.

The light in the space is still better, with the sun always shining brightly in the sky.

"The sun is shining in the sky and the flowers are smiling at me! No, the flowers have disappeared!"

As a veteran farming expert, once she entered the space, even the exquisite picture books could not attract her attention.

Start farming!

Today, she unexpectedly got rice seeds, corn seeds, and millet seeds. It was such a pleasant surprise! She will have a constant supply of food in the future!

She cleared out a few more plots of land in front of the cabin. They were square and reminded her of the stealing vegetables mode in the newly popular farming game in her previous life.

At that time, she was obsessed with it for a while. She thought about opening more fields every day and set the alarm clock in the middle of the night to steal vegetables, eggs and livestock cubs.

As the fields grew and the species gradually became richer, her feeling of happiness and satisfaction was simply beyond words!

This time she planned to plan the space into neat square fields, and plant fruit trees around them in the same way as in her previous life.

Tall, short, and shrubs are planted alternately from the outside to the inside, which neither affects light growth nor pruning and harvesting.

You can also plant some shade-loving medicinal herbs, flowers, and wild vegetables under the tree, and raise some poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese, and it will be even more perfect.

She had a lot of experience in this area in her previous life.

By the way, she should also find time to dig some small ponds by the river so that she can have a chance to catch live fish. She also wants to develop fish farming!

While tilling the land, she imagined the harvest scene of fragrant fruits and vegetables and golden rice waves in the future, and she was full of energy!

In order to fill her stomach and restore her living standard in her previous life, she decided to fight!

After finishing four fields of five meters square, Han Zhaozhao was already very tired.

She went back to the living room, drank a bellyful of space water, and rested for ten minutes. She felt she was able to do it again!

Do it! As long as you can’t kill me, do it to death!

The land will not mistreat hardworking people. As long as the seeds are planted, there will be a harvest. Plant early and harvest early, harvest early and eat early, and realize food freedom and fruit freedom!

Han Zhaozhao carried the sapling, took a shovel and a plastic bucket, and started digging holes along the river.

They dug with a "click, click, click" sound, and dug a hole every five meters between plants. In half an hour, they had dug nineteen holes and planted all the fruit tree seedlings.

After fetching water to water the plants and allowing the water to seep down and cover the soil, Han Zhaozhao took his tools back to the living room.

After working herself into a stinky sweat, she had to go back and wash herself, otherwise she would be the first person in history to faint from her own stench!
