Defeat natural disasters with farming

In addition to the harvest from the outside world, they also harvested a lot of food grown by themselves. Although it is not as good as before the disaster, it is much better than last year. At least everyone has harvested enough to last until this time next year, and there is even a surplus.

There are only three people in Ye Yu's family. In addition, there are many fields and a lot of grain harvested naturally, so most of the processed grains are directly collected into the cellar by them.

The taste of new grain is better than that of old grain, which is the consensus of almost everyone, so when the grain is harvested, the first thing they do is to make it into food, and Ye Mu is no exception. They make different foods, such as red date steamed buns, sugar triangles and so on.

This has also caused Ye Yu's house to often smell a strong wheat fragrance recently.

And in this smell of wheat, time gradually passed, and when the first snow fell, the inner city wall was finally built.

So far, the construction of Jiwang City has been completed, with an overall area of ​​more than [-] mu. In the past, it was just the land owned by a wealthy landlord, but now it is already very big.

In order to celebrate the official founding of the city, Ye's father announced that he would hold a celebration banquet in the meeting hall tonight, and that the food at the banquet would be provided by the public, and they did not need to bring their own.

As soon as the news came out, many people immediately cheered. You must know that they have been busy all year, and finally had a chance to rest. This is a great thing.

Ye Yu stretched her waist after waking up from her afternoon nap, turned her neck and said, "I slept really well this time, I haven't slept so well for a while."

Mother Ye glanced at him, smiled and said, "You are just like your father, you worry about it every day, of course you don't sleep well."

"It's okay," Ye Yu said after drinking a glass of lemonade, "The busiest time is over, and now you can take a good rest. Even if you want to get busy again, you have to wait until next year when the ice and snow thaw."

Mother Ye nodded, "That's true."

After she finished speaking, she saw Father Ye push the door out with a head full of steam, and she presumably had already finished taking a shower, so she said to Ye Yu, "Go while the room is still steaming."

Ye Yu responded, he didn't take a bath slowly, but washing his hair delayed the time, but it only took two quarters of an hour.

After Ye's mother finished taking a bath, the mother and son went to the meeting hall together. As for Ye's father, he is the village head and the sure lord of the city. Naturally, he went earlier than them. After all, he still had things to do. According to Ye Yu As we all know, after discussing with other people, his father has already determined the candidates for the officials who will manage the city, and will announce it at the banquet.

I happened to meet people from the old house on the way, so Mother Ye soon chatted with Aunt Ye and the others, and Ye Yu also made peace with Chu Xufeng.

Ye Yu glanced at the surrounding barrenness, and said thoughtfully: "There are still fewer people in the village. You see, more than half of the land surrounded by the inner city wall is empty, and it may accommodate hundreds or even thousands of people. Thousands of people."

This is only loosely speaking. If you really only pursue quantity, regardless of the quality of life, it is possible to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

Chu Xufeng said lightly: "The population of Jiwang City is still not large."

Ye Yu sighed, "Yes." It would be great if more people who knew the basics came to join him.

Chu Xufeng's expression changed, thinking of the letter from Feige he received a few days ago, and he didn't know whether the news recorded on it was good or bad.

Seeing that Chu Xufeng was lost in thought, Ye Yu didn't bother him, but took his hand and continued walking, and soon arrived at the meeting hall.

At this time, the meeting hall has changed a lot. All the tables in the middle have been moved outside, leaving only long wooden chairs. There is a grill in front of each wooden chair. Now it is empty, but meat It's already skewered and put up front, and they can get it themselves and put it on the grill to cook whenever they want to eat it.

It's a bit like a buffet, Ye Yu secretly said after sitting down.

Next to him and Chu Xufeng are Ye Minghui and Ye Shuan. These two are not yet married, mainly because there are few girls of the right age, and the two of them often get along with Ye He and Yue Ling, so they both want to find someone who is pleasing to each other and get married again, but they have always been in love. I couldn't find it, but fortunately, neither of them was the only child in the family. Their parents urged them a few times to see that it was useless, so they simply stopped urging them.

Seeing the two of them coming, Ye Minghui immediately went to Ye Yu and said, "Today is really lively."

Ye Yu nodded and said: "There are so many people, it's just lively, even the elders are here."

While they were chatting, someone suddenly walked over from the side.

"Hello, I'm Shen Qingyu, can I sit here?" The young man named Shen Qingyu was extremely shy, and his face was red when he spoke.

Ye Yu does know him, but not very well. Shen Qingyu is Uncle Shen's only son, with a gentle but shy personality. Even if his father rescued him from the human traffickers, Uncle Shen would bring Shen Qingyu with him every year during the Chinese New Year. Came to pay New Year's greetings to Father Ye, but they were still not familiar with each other, mainly because of his character, if he hadn't spoken first, Shen Qingyu would have been silent forever.

Why is he here suddenly now?Ye Yu thought with some doubts.

But what happened next made him even more unexpected. After listening to Shen Qingyu's questioning, Ye Minghui immediately sat inside to make room for him.

"Of course, you can sit down."

Ye Yu froze for a moment, "You have a pretty good relationship."

Ye Minghui nodded when he heard the words, and replied: "Didn't I get injured before? Doctor Chen started to get busy after prescribing the medicine, so the reexaminations were all helped by Brother Yu. You don't know, his medical skills are as good as Doctor Chen's." The true biography of "It's amazing."

Shen Qingyu blushed immediately when she heard these compliments, waved her hands again and again and said, "No, it's because your physique is good, that's why you recovered quickly. I still have a lot to learn from Master Chen."

Everything is expensive and not expensive. Doctor Xiao Hao is good at treating women's diseases, so all the apprentices she accepts are women. Doctor Wu is good at treating children's diseases. He has taught his son and grandson all his medical skills, and Chen The doctor is another exception. He used to be an imperial physician, and he has a wide range of knowledge in medicine. Naturally, the apprentices he recruited were carefully selected. Although Shen Qingyu is not very eye-catching, he is very talented. He learned a few things from Doctor Chen. It's almost time to graduate.

Several people chatted for a while, and then saw various meat skewers being served on plates.

Ye Shuan was so greedy that he salivated, touched his stomach and said, "I didn't eat much at noon, and I'm just waiting for the dinner tonight. Do you want to go get the meat together?"

Ye Yu responded, and then pulled Chu Xufeng over together.

The meat ones include mutton skewers, pork heart skewers, chicken gizzard skewers, etc. There are also vegetarian ones. Slice potatoes and fix them with wooden sticks, as well as leeks, lettuce, and eggplant.

Among them, grilled eggplant is the most delicious. Cut the eggplant in half, put the prepared fillings on the white eggplant meat and bake them together until the eggplants become soft. The fillings made of pork are completely cooked. Falling into the eggplant meat makes the originally tasteless eggplant meat overflowing with salty fragrance and is extra delicious. At this time, if it is paired with a glass of beer, it is a rare pastime in summer.

Although they don't have beer, the juice and tea made with jam are quite refreshing to drink.

In the middle of the meal, a bonfire suddenly rose in the middle, making everyone's faces reddish.

After a while, just as Ye Yu put the roasted pork belly in his mouth, he saw his father suddenly walk up to the high platform ahead, followed by several people, including Uncle Ye Zhong and Uncle Shen.

Father Ye coughed a few times, and when everyone quieted down, he announced angrily: "From today onwards, we will formally establish Hope City!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall cheered, and some even applauded.

"Everyone is quiet, I will announce the officials in charge of Jiwang City next."

Ye Yu listened intently. His father hadn't told him about this matter in detail. He only knew that two-thirds of them had the surname Ye, and the rest were people with other surnames.

The city lord is naturally Father Ye, the village soldier, oh no, it should be the leader of the city soldier now, it is Ye Zhong, and the three city lord's deputy are Shen Fu, Ye Tongsheng and Wang Jiancheng.

Shen Fu was in charge of the overall situation, while Ye Tongsheng and Wang Jiancheng were responsible for the registration of various matters, such as the registration of population and fields.

Ye Zhong, the chief commander, is in charge of hunting with Hu Chun as the escort, Ye Hai as the deputy escort, Ye Zhouyuan as the patrol officer, Ning Rong as the deputy escort, Ye Mingde as the escort for punishment, and Ye Hai as the deputy escort. The boss is Li Xuan, this Li Xuan is not simple, he used to be a policeman in Heihe county yamen, he has a lot of experience in this way, in the end the chief in charge of the battle was Chu Xufeng, and the deputy was Jia Yi.

Except for the battle, the other three are a combination of people with the surname Ye and people with the foreign surname.

-

Father Ye finished his announcement very quickly. He waited for a while, and seeing that everyone in the hall was thinking, he asked, "Do you have any comments?"

No one has any objections, after all, his appointment is generally considered fair, and these people are all talented, or people who have made considerable contributions to the village, so everyone is basically convinced.

Since no one spoke, Father Ye called out.

Ye Yu went home with Chu Xufeng, and on the way he sighed: "I didn't expect you to be busy."

Chu Xufeng rubbed Ye Yu's head and said, "After all, I have learned the formation of troops with my father for many years. Although most of them can't be used because there are few people in the city, the effect of using it is quite good."

Ye Yu thought for a while, they are all soldiers now, fortunately, most of the people doing the training are tall and strong, the training is not very tiring for them, at most it is because the training consumes a lot of food There are many, but lunch is provided by the public, and they still take advantage of it in general.

There was a lot of discussion about this for a while, but it didn't take long for them to feel the benefits of doing so.

First of all, the work has become smoother. Boys and girls who have reached the age of 16 are no longer like headless chickens like before. They have to find the village head to divide the land. Now they only need to go to the special file room to register. Can.

Secondly, the formation of troops taught by Chu Xufeng is very popular, and the monthly competition has become a way of entertainment for everyone.

Finally, there is a major event. Ye Tongsheng and Wang Jiancheng are responsible for the replacement of population certificates. This was proposed by Ye Yu. Taking advantage of the small number of people, they must quickly fiddle with their "ID cards" so that they can prove their identities. , similar to the household registration system, the benefits will become more obvious when there are more people in the future.
