Farming from the end of the world
Chapter 09
There is no refrigerator in the kitchen, so what Chen's mother brings over is some long-lasting sweet potatoes, radishes, eggs, etc. The meat is also bacon, which is better for preservation.
Now that Zhou Lu mentioned it, Chen Guo felt that he should buy a refrigerator. There was no market in the village, and he had to go to the county to buy vegetables. He had no means of transportation, and taking the bus was too time-consuming.
"I'll go to Uncle Zhao tomorrow morning and ask him to take me to the county to buy a second-hand refrigerator, and then I'll buy some more food." The pitiful budget would cost a few hundred more, Chen Guo remained calm, but still endured I can't help feeling a little sore.
After seeing off Zhou Lu, after taking a shower, Chen Guo took out her mobile phone and contacted Manager Zhao, the incubator introduced to him by Boss Wang.
I heard that he wanted to order chicks, and the other party sent me a few pictures, including cheap and common white-feathered chickens and three-yellow chickens, as well as more expensive silky chickens.
After hearing about Chen Guo's plan to raise free-range chickens, Manager Zhao recommended several breeds to him. After debating for a while, Chen Guo chose ephedra chickens and ordered 1500 chicks.
After solving the chicken problem, Chen Guo ordered feed buckets and drinking buckets for chickens, as well as a very important small grinder online.
A lot of the money in the bank card has been lost. Chen Guo did some calculations, and after excluding the salaries of Zhao Quan and Zhou Lu, the vaccination costs for the chicks, and the remaining money to buy corn, she was a little nervous.
It seems that crops that can be used as feed should be planted as soon as possible next to the chicken coop. It is now July, and the time is a bit late, but you can try to grow some sweet potatoes.
Anyway, it is used as feed, appearance and taste don't matter, as long as the growth rate is fast and the yield is high.Even if the harvest is not big, it can always make up for one or two, and the sweet potato leaves can also be used as green fodder to feed chickens.
It's feasible, and it can be done after the chicken coop is improved.
A good night's sleep.
Early the next morning, after sending Zhou Lu a message asking him to come and make breakfast for himself, Chen Guo approached Zhao Quan and told him that she wanted to go to the county to buy vegetables and a refrigerator.
Zhao Quan naturally agreed, and drove Chen Guo into the county seat. After the two had a bowl of noodles for breakfast, Zhao Quan took Chen Guo to a second-hand electrical appliance shop he was familiar with. Chen Guo bought it for two hundred and six without much effort I bought a second-hand refrigerator, and it looked like it was about [-]% to [-]% new.
I went to the vegetable market again, and bought a week's worth of vegetables and meat, which cost another two hundred or so.
Back at Chen Guo's house, Zhou Lu's old bicycle had already been parked in the yard, and the change of clothes and toiletries he asked him to bring were also brought, but no one was there.
Chen Guo said: "He must have been working." It's still early, so it's okay for him to take a break.
"This kid is really diligent." Zhao Quan also boasted.
The refrigerator was moved to the kitchen and plugged in, and all the unsustainable ingredients were stuffed in. Looking at the full refrigerator, Chen Guo was very satisfied.
There are grains, meat, vegetables, and most importantly, a chef with good skills. Such a day was something he never dreamed of.
It's the norm now.
It was another busy day, Zhao Quan went home after dinner in the evening, leaving behind Chen Guo and Zhou Lu who will be staying here from today.
"Zhou Lu, go take a bath first, I'll clean it up." Chen Guo was also a little embarrassed to eat food cooked by others every day, so she took the job of washing dishes and sent Zhou Lu to take a bath. .
After washing the dishes, Chen Guo went to the vegetable field at the back of the house to have a look. The cabbage and radish had sprouted, and the buds of the cruciferous family were similar. The two small cotyledons looked cute.
The seedlings grew very densely, Chen Guo planned to pull some out and eat them in a few days, tender and raw cabbage or radish, whether it is boiled in soup or under it, it feels good.
Looking at the beans and melons by the wall, many of them had already sprouted. Chen Guo watered them all, looking forward to their future fruits.
Zhou Lu quickly took a shower and came out. He changed into a blue T-shirt and black sports shorts. They were also very old, but maybe because youth is the most luxurious thing, they didn’t look shabby. The teenager's thin but slightly muscular limbs are very aesthetically pleasing.
The hair that was too long was wet, and water droplets slid down the ends of the hair. Zhou Lv stretched out his hand and pulled the hair back at will, revealing his complete face.
Only then did I realize that he was not only handsome, but also handsome.
Without the long bangs, the gloomy demeanor has suddenly diminished, and the young man's face still has a hint of childishness, but the unformed handsomeness is ready to emerge, and the eyebrows and eyes are especially beautiful, which can be called "sword eyebrows and star eyes".
This kid will definitely fascinate many people in the future.
Chen Guo touched his face subconsciously. The face of this body is also pretty good, much better than the public face in his previous life, but he also dislikes it a bit.
Because it's kinda...cute.
The face is relatively round, the eyebrows and eyes are slightly drawn down, the lines are not very clear, the lips are naturally raised, and there are dimples when you smile——
Not at all what he expected from himself!
But this face is also good, gentle and friendly, and harmless to humans and animals, this face must have won him a lot of sympathy when he broke up with Chen Wu.
If there is such a face in the last days, things like pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger can be said to be within reach.
Chen Guo was thinking wildly, Zhou Lu saw that he was still not moving, and reminded: "Brother Chen Guo, go take a shower." Chen Guo came back to her senses, and went into the bathroom with a change of clothes.
After taking a shower and leaving the bathroom, it was already dark, and many stars could be seen in the dark blue sky.There are no large factories in the area, and the air is good.
Chen Guo glanced at it and didn't care. He had seen enough of this thing. The longer the apocalypse lasted, the more regressed human society would be, and the more stars there would be in the sky.
The sky is full of bright stars, shining on the walking dead on the earth, physically and psychologically.
No matter how beautiful it is, people who can't fill their stomachs have no time to look up at the starry sky.
After rummaging through to find a mat and bedding, Chen Guo made a bed for Zhou Lu in her room.Try lying on it, it's not bad, not worse than his wooden bed.
There is no entertainment equipment such as TV and computer at home, and she is quite tired after working all day. After saying hello, Chen Guo got into bed first, and did a thing that most human beings love-playing with mobile phones.
He doesn't watch live broadcasts, watch short videos, or play online games. What he is most passionate about is casual games like Xiao Xiao Le, which can pass the time without being addicted to affect his life.
Zhou Lu also got into bed, listening to the game sound effects coming from Chen Guo from time to time, and fell into deep thought.If it wasn't for their identical appearance and identity, he would definitely have thought they were two people.
He knew Chen Guo very early, but Chen Guo didn't know him.
At first it was the classmates from the same village who taunted him, saying that Chen Guo's mother ran away like his mother, but Chen Guo was even more pitiful, because his father also passed away.
He secretly beat up that classmate, but since then he has also taken a liking to this neighboring villager who is two years older than him and who seems to care about nothing but his studies.
Because of sympathy?or something else.
But one day, he saw Chen Guo's mother. That woman was careful, or flattering, to give Chen Guo her living expenses, and said some admonishing words, but Chen Guo's face was full of impatience.
If the opposite was his mother, he would never reveal that expression.
He admitted that he was jealous, what he longed for, Chen Guo could easily have it, and could easily leave it behind.
After that, he didn't pay attention to Chen Guo anymore, until this summer vacation, they actually met each other again.And Chen Guo seemed to be completely different from before.
According to Uncle Zhao Quan, Chen Guo's personality changed a lot after she failed the college entrance examination, and she even fell out with her second uncle, who was obedient to her words.
But will the impact of the college entrance examination be so great?
After much deliberation, there was no answer, but his exhausted body couldn't hold on after a day's work, and he slowly fell asleep.
A week is not long or short. With the efforts of the three, the insulation room and the chicken coop were built, the wires were pulled over, and the pond was dug out.
On the eighth day of construction, the work was completely completed.
Chen's mother also brought Chen Guo's 6-year-old half-brother Zhang Shi to come. She also brought a pig's trotter and stewed it with soybeans. The meat was fragrant and the soup was delicious.
The original owner didn't want to see Zhang Shi very much, so the little kid looked very shy in front of Chen Guo, and he didn't dare to take a glass of Coke when Chen Guo poured him a cup.
"Go on, Xiao Shi, you child..." Mother Chen pushed twice without pushing, and smiled at Chen Guo with some embarrassment, "This child is just shy of strangers. I haven't seen Xiao Guo for a long time and I can't recognize it."
Even if the two children are not from the same father, after all, they are all the flesh that fell from her body. She naturally hopes that the two brothers will live in harmony. It took little effort for Xiaoguo to change his attitude, but what about this Xiaoshi...
Chen Guo naturally understood her thoughts, but she didn't blame Zhang Shi. Children are very sensitive to adults' attitudes, and the original owner didn't look good on his younger brother, so naturally his younger brother would not get close to him.
"Xiaoshi doesn't like coke? Then brother will pour you orange juice." Chen Guo spoke softly, poured another glass of orange juice and handed it over.
Zhang Shi hesitated to take it this time.
At the dinner table, Chen Guo told her that she wanted to grow sweet potatoes next to the chicken coop. Although it was not the right season, she didn't need to invest much money anyway, and the land was empty.
"There are no seedlings for sale now. I will go to the village tomorrow to get some vines, and we will cut them ourselves." Mother Chen came up with an idea. If people in the countryside don't care about the output, they just grow something for themselves or feed their livestock, and they often do this.
"Okay. By the way, Mom, what kind of fish do you think my small pond is suitable for?" Uncle Zhang, who Chen's mother remarried, was engaged in aquaculture, so Chen Guo asked by the way.For the sake of safety, the pond was not dug too deep, and it was only filled with water to [-] centimeters.
"Grass carp, crucian carp, and carp are easy to raise. I'll bring you some when the fry are hatched next year." That small pond can't raise many fish, so Mother Chen automatically took care of it.
"Then thank you, Mom." This was what Chen Guo was waiting for. Of course, he didn't intend to take advantage of Chen's mother for nothing. When he made money, he would naturally honor Chen's mother.
He picked up a piece of lean meat for Chen's mother and turned his head, only to see Zhou Lu looking at him strangely.
'what's wrong? ' he asked with his eyes.
Zhou Lv smiled, shook his head, 'it's okay. '
Now that Zhou Lu mentioned it, Chen Guo felt that he should buy a refrigerator. There was no market in the village, and he had to go to the county to buy vegetables. He had no means of transportation, and taking the bus was too time-consuming.
"I'll go to Uncle Zhao tomorrow morning and ask him to take me to the county to buy a second-hand refrigerator, and then I'll buy some more food." The pitiful budget would cost a few hundred more, Chen Guo remained calm, but still endured I can't help feeling a little sore.
