These days, Qiao Xuejun has been tidying up the underground shelter.
Chicken coops, rabbit houses...henhouses and pheasants should be separated.
The shrimps had been kept in buckets for the past few days, so Qiao Xuejun dug a small pond, pasted stones inside, and when it was dry, he introduced well water and put the shrimps in.
When catching prey in the mountains before, Qiao Xuejun caught some black soldier flies. This kind of insect is high in protein and is very suitable for use as chicken feed and can also be fed to shrimps.
They reproduce very quickly.
The little carpenter used the extra wood to improve the chicken coop and rabbit house, making them look clean and tidy.
Qiao Xuejun used the chicken coop and rabbit coop to exchange for a quota of 20,000 kilograms of grain through the system, which can be directly redeemed when needed.
The potatoes were fully ripe, and there was only one hoe, so Qiao Xuejun allocated it to herself. She was more efficient at doing farm work than others.
She also had an engineer shovel, which she gave to Kuang Qianli. Wang Juanfeng took the shovel she moved from her clinic, and the carpenter used a wooden hoe she made.
Three people were each responsible for a piece of land. They dug out the potatoes buried in the soil. Each potato plant could produce four or five potatoes, and each one was very big.
Kuang Qianli looked at the small agricultural machines beside the farmland. He couldn't tell what they were used for, so he asked, "Why didn't you buy a machine for harvesting potatoes?"
Qiao Xuejun dug the hoe and turned out the potatoes: "I bought a harvester."
"That one." She stretched out her hand and pointed casually to Kuang Qianli, then withdrew her hand and continued to turn over potatoes with the hoe.
Kuang Qianli took a look at the machine. It was brand new and the plastic film on the outside looked like it hadn't been removed yet. "Why aren't you using it?"
Qiao Xuejun: "It consumes a lot of fuel."
There isn't much diesel.
The little carpenter laughed out loud, knowing that this was the case!
Kuang Qianli was dumbfounded. He had never expected this reason: "No, you have tens of thousands of liters of oil. Are you still afraid of wasting it?"
In Kuang Qianli's opinion, isn't this just a secondary disaster caused by a short period of high temperature? It's already May, and even if the temperature is high, it will always drop after August or September.
How can we use up all those 10,000 liters of diesel?
Qiao Xuejun was unmoved: "Who knows how long the rebels will stay?"
Kuang Qianli frowned and nodded: "That's true, but they have never been a force to be reckoned with. I guess they will be driven away by the rescue army in no time."
"God Kuang, hurry up and work. Look, I'm working faster than you." Wang Juanfeng said as he waved a shovel. "It's good to be economical. It will be quick. Based on my experience, the four of us can finish harvesting these fields in one day."
really.
Qiao Xuejun had the same experience. If she were alone, it would probably take several days, so she would rather use farm tools to harvest and sow earlier, but now that she can harvest in one day, there is no need.
During the lunch break, several people picked a pile of fresh potatoes and each roasted three or four to eat.
Kuang Qianli held the hot, steaming potato in his hand. He took a big bite and spoke incoherently: "It's delicious. It's fresh out of the soil."
The carpenter: "Sprinkle some chili oil on me."
Qiao Xuejun moved a lot of spicy snacks from the Qiao family warehouse to pay off her debts. The little carpenter liked to eat them, and Qiao Xuejun let her eat them. After all, those things only had a shelf life of half a year.
The little carpenter squeezed chili oil from the spicy snacks and ate them with potatoes. She also recommended the other three to do the same.
Qiao Xuejun shook her head: "I'll just sprinkle some salt on it."
Wang Juanfeng held out his bowl: "Give me some chili oil!"
The little carpenter sprinkled some on her, and Wang Juanfeng picked up a large piece with chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
"This is so spicy!" Wang Juanfeng couldn't stand it as soon as he put it in his mouth, "Water, give me some water!"
Kuang Qianli quickly poured her a glass of water: "Don't be anxious, eat slowly, there is plenty of water, don't choke."
Since they had a well, they no longer lacked water. Every night they would refill the well with filtered boiled water.
Wang Juanfeng gulped down half the cup.
After drinking, she breathed a sigh of relief: "I want to eat more!"

On the other side, in the Qiao family villa, Old Lady Qiao brought two bowls of cornmeal cakes to the living room and placed them on the table of the two men: "Young men, eat them. Don't be polite."
The bearded man took the bowl, took out a tortilla from it, and shared it with his companion.
"A bit dry." He took a bite of the cake, frowned, and wanted some water.
Old Mrs. Qiao pretended not to hear.
Need water? They had to fetch water in the morning, and it was not enough for them. The car had run out of gas long ago on such a long mountain road, so they had to carry the water on a shoulder pole and walk back. She had not experienced such hardship for many years.
It's not just water, there's no electricity now, and we have to make a fire to boil water, so we have to go up the mountain to collect firewood.
Of course, we have to use the water we carried back with so much effort sparingly.
Qiao Yaozu immediately responded, "Did you dry up the cake? I'll go get some water."
Seeing her eldest grandson running to get water, Old Lady Qiao felt very distressed. These two young men were eating and drinking too much!
The big bowl of food they ate was enough for her and her grandfather to eat for two days!
If you don't do anything, just stay at their house and eat and drink for free!
Qiao Yaozu brought two glasses of water and placed them in front of the two men.
The bearded man drank most of the cup in one gulp. After putting the cup down, he wiped the sweat off his face and said, "It's still cooler in Gongzhou. You can almost avoid the heat by staying indoors. It's not like other places where you can die of the heat."
Old Mrs. Qiao's eyes widened: "Is this still cool?"
It was indeed much cooler inside the house than outside, but it was also very hot, and they were sweating profusely and couldn't stand it at all.
