"This roast duck rice tastes really good."

Although the rice was reheated, the roast duck was deep-fried, and it tasted really good.

Even Han Xue, a girl from a well-off family, praised the roast duck rice highly.

"Oh, right, remember to sew two pairs of gloves for yourselves tonight. Starting tomorrow, we should be planting rice seedlings here, harvesting potatoes, and weeding a lot of vegetables."

The corn has probably sprouted by now, so it's time to weed.

Unlike the Northeast, the South has only two seasons a year, so there's basically something to do every day.

Moreover, the sweet potatoes are about to sprout, and they need to pull the sweet potato seedlings up to prevent them from taking root.

There are just too many things to do.

Moreover, the area is surrounded by mountains and has many orchards.

Although the fruit could not be transported out, the Hongqi Brigade was impoverished despite possessing wealth.

But the things that need to be done still need to be done.

Gu Yunyang suddenly had an idea: "If we set up a cannery here and turn the fruit into canned goods, it should be able to lead the Hongqi Brigade to prosperity."

However, Gu Yunyang did not speak; these matters were still premature.

The most important thing this year is actually water storage.

Although this place is only a dozen miles from the sea, it shouldn't be particularly short of water.

On the day I arrived, the river flowing down the mountain had a decent amount of water.

He also noticed a stream near Dongshan Village.

The well in the yard is actually not far from the ground.

But we still need to be prepared.

If we really encounter the driest time, having water storage tanks will make life much easier.

Gu Yunyang recalled that he had been to the Qinling Mountains before, and the water storage tanks there were very sophisticated, capable of withstanding high-temperature evaporation.

There's no need to go through all that trouble here; a simplified version will suffice.

“If necessary, we can prepare some distillation equipment.”

Seawater that has undergone high-temperature distillation and liquefaction has had impurities and salt removed, making it pure drinking water.

Gu Yunyang studied mechanical engineering, so making these devices was quite simple for him.

Even without tools?

It can also be made within the base space.

After clearing her mind, she heard Yang Shengnan say somewhat awkwardly, "Um, I don't know how to use a needle and thread."

When I was little, I learned it from my grandma.

But the needle was specifically designed to prick her fingers, and she simply couldn't learn how to do it.

She can disassemble and assemble firearms.

He's also quite skilled at target shooting.

It was Han Xue, who seemed pampered, who raised her hand: "Um, I do. It's just that we don't have any fabric."

Gu Yunyang laughed and said, "Then let's use my old clothes to make them, since we don't need them anymore anyway. By the way, do you know how to sew? I bought some fabric and plan to make all my spring and summer clothes."

Han Xue nodded: "Yes, I am quite good at sewing. And I can also embroider. But why do you only make spring and summer clothes, and not autumn and winter clothes?"

Yang Shengnan chuckled. When Han Xue looked over in annoyance, Yang Shengnan quickly explained, "This is Guangdong Province. Even in winter, the temperature is around ten degrees Celsius. Spring clothes will be fine."

Of course, it goes without saying that the winter temperatures in Guangdong Province are like a roller coaster, rising and falling sharply.

Han Xue slapped her forehead: "I forgot. But it seems we don't have any lights at night, and there's no electricity in the house."

It wasn't just this place that was without power; the entire Hongqi Brigade was without power.

The Hongqi Brigade is too poor to afford the installation fee for the electrical wires.

In addition, because they were poor, no one wanted to pay their electricity bills.

Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "I bought kerosene and a can at the supply and marketing cooperative today. I knew you wouldn't remember to buy it, so I brought you some."
