Chapter 70: Foraging in the Wilderness
After hearing this, Li Yueya said, "There are many ways to extend the storage time in "Qinghe Daily Life". Yu Shui, you can try it according to what is said there."
Yu Shui shook his head, "No, it's too much trouble. I'll store more water, just enough to drink. I'm ready to stink in the second half of the year. Please forgive me!"
Wei Qin patted Yu Shui's back hard, "Don't do that, I will be unable to resist throwing you out. Prepare some water for daily use. It's ok if you don't wash your clothes, but why don't you wipe your body every once in a while?"
"Yes, now that there is plenty of water, you should wash all the clothes that need to be washed at home. In the second half of the year, you can just change into clean clothes every once in a while. After the dry season is over, you can wash all the clothes." Chen Qing gave advice after listening.
"Then I have to go buy some more clothes!"
Shi Leyong smiled and shook his head, "Young man, you're too late."
"What do you mean?"
"Didn't General Manager Li say that there would be purchase restrictions? I went shopping a few days ago and found that now you need to use your ID card to swipe the amount when buying things. This means that no matter what you buy, everyone has a set amount. You can only buy less, not more, unless someone gives you their quota."
Yu Shui exclaimed: "No way, how are we going to live in the future?"
"Just live your life the way you should. Eat less, drink less, change clothes less often, and try to adapt to the environment. The Qinghe Alliance introduced such rules to allow more people to survive."
Yu Shui clicked his tongue, "Alright alright!"
Wei Qin was surprised on the surface when she heard this, but she was actually very grateful in her heart that she had stockpiled some rice some time ago.
Seeing that everyone was talking about water storage and shopping, Bi Qiaoan hesitated for a moment and said, "Isn't the most important thing now to solve the problem of vegetable sources in the second half of the year?"
The office, which had just been in a heated discussion, suddenly fell silent.
"Did I say something wrong?" Bi Qiaoan was a little embarrassed.
"No, we are actually all very worried about the vegetable problem." Shi Leyong sighed and said, "Xiao An, do you have any suggestions?"
Bi Qiaoan looked at everyone's eager eyes, bit her lip, and said, "I just think that while there is rain now, we can plant some vegetables first. The dried vegetables can be stored for a much longer time. When there is no more vegetables, we can just eat the dried vegetables."
“Growing vegetables?”
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "Yes, there were a few variety shows online a while ago, "Dream Life" and "I'm a Farming Expert". I followed the stars in the show and planted a lot of potted vegetables."
Everyone was shocked. "Xiao An An, you are amazing. I just watched for fun during that time. I didn't expect a variety show to have such a big impact!"
"Well, hehe, it's because I felt that the weather was not right and I was a little scared, so I followed the variety show and gave it a try." Bi Qiaoan smiled guiltily.
"Then, let's try it too? We don't know if we can grow it now." Although Wei Qin asked in a questioning tone, she knew that the answer in her heart was yes.
Bi Qiaoan also quickly expressed her support, "Auntie Wei, you can try it at home. It's very easy to grow. It will grow in two months. You can harvest at least two crops before the water is cut off."
Yu Shui also nodded, "Just listen to Qiao An, there's no harm in giving it a try. There aren't many people in my family, so when I get back I'll ask my mom to plant vegetables in the bedroom."
Li Yueya also nodded, "I agree!"
But Chen Qing sighed, "My house is full of people, there's not even room for a flower pot!"
Shi Leyong stretched out his hand and hooked Chen Qing's shoulder. "Brother, we are brothers in distress. I have a lot of family members too. What do you think we should do?"
Wei Qin sighed, "What can I do? I can just go back to my hometown. My relatives have taken up space in the city, so I can offer the countryside to them. Even if I can't live there, I can at least put some flower pots there!"
Shi Leyong gave a thumbs up and said, "Sister Qin is really awesome, you're right, we can't always have to support our country relatives!
You don’t know, my relatives have been staying here for the past month or two, not only have they been noisy, but they’ve also been eating a lot, and this month’s food expenses alone have cost me five thousand. Now I finally have a chance to use my relatives.”
Bi Qiaoan was not optimistic. "Brother Yong, you should discuss it with your relatives. After all, in the second half of the year, vegetables will be extremely expensive. If you agree on the profit sharing in advance, you can avoid conflicts later."
Shi Leyong shook his head. "No way. I'm paying for the family and providing the house to support them!"
Chen Qing said, "An An is right. You'll be eating your life when the time comes. You'd better be more careful!"
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "I still have some seeds. If you need them, you can send me a message and I will bring them to you when I go to work next week."
"Okay, I'll go buy some first, and if I can't find it, I'll come to you."
"How was your work today?" Shen Yanming picked up Bi Qiaoan and asked when he saw that she looked exhausted.
"What else can we do? Let's just chat." Bi Qiaoan sighed, "They didn't even grow vegetables. The TV series 'Dream Life' was so popular at that time. If it wasn't mentioned today, no one would have thought of growing vegetables. If they had grown them then, they would be almost ripe now."
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "After so many years of agricultural mechanization, how many people still know how to farm? Especially those of us who grew up in cities, when we talk about food and vegetables, we think about where to buy them.
But don't worry, maybe the Qinghe Alliance will give clear instructions in a couple of days."
In the evening, Bi Qiaoan made dozens of mushroom and rapeseed buns. He steamed about ten in the first pot, took out the buns after fifteen minutes, and then steamed the second pot.
While steaming the buns, Bi Qiaoan also took out a small pot and cooked a pot of meatball soup. After cooking, she added seasonings, sprinkled with green coriander and chopped green onions, and then sprinkled some cooked sesame seeds, stirred evenly and served.
After eating with relish, Shen Yanming put the steamed buns into the space, and Bi Qiaoan cleaned the dishes.
I picked up my phone and saw that it was only half past seven, so the two of them curled up on the sofa to watch TV.
Bi Qiaoan turned on Qinghe TV. The news had just ended, but Bi Qiaoan did not change the channel, waiting for the eight o'clock show "Foraging for Food in the Mountains".
This is a new variety show, which premieres on Qinghe TV at 8 o'clock every night, lasts three and a half hours, and is rebroadcast the next morning.
As for why this arrangement was made, it was actually based on the current situation in Qinghua Country.
Because of the energy rain, everyone has to stay up late at night to get caught in the rain, so the TV station schedules the broadcast time before midnight. This time period is the most likely to guarantee ratings.
The next morning, most people are catching up on sleep, which is a good time to replay the show.
As for why "Foraging for Food in the Mountains" can be broadcast every day and is so long, it has everything to do with the content of the program.
