Chapter 20 Harvest
After the peanuts are harvested, they are thrown on the balcony to bask in the sun. Ye Li is busy harvesting soybeans. After harvesting the soybeans, he has to harvest the yellow rice. Harvesting the rice is not enough, the sweet potatoes in the field also have to be harvested early.
In order to store her food, Ye Li specially cleaned up the storage room and made a large space to store her food.
Although she had difficulty moving, she had plenty of time. She would do some work when she remembered to and rest when she was tired. However, she finally managed to harvest all the crops before the rain came, dried them, and stored them in her storage room.
Ye Li's storage room was so full that there was no place to step. The growth of these crops was better than she had imagined.
After the autumn harvest, her balcony seemed to have changed its landscape. Apart from the vegetables still growing in the vegetable patch, the other fields were filled with gentian and a large pile of straw.
According to the old practice, the rice straw must be burned and used as fertilizer for the next year.
But Ye Li was in such a lonely city at the end of the world. How could she dare to do this? Wouldn't it be telling others that someone lived here? Come and rob them!
So, Ye Li could only pile these dead branches and leaves together and let them decompose naturally into natural fertilizer.
The three chickens lived a very good life these days. They didn't need to be fed with chestnut leaves. They just had to be put in the fields, and they would find scattered millet and beans to eat, and from time to time they could find some insects to satisfy their hunger.
After the harvest, good days for Ye Li come.
Every day I just need to feed the chickens, clean the chicken coop, and fertilize the vegetable garden, then I spend the whole day thinking about making something delicious.
After the rice is hulled using the ancient method, it can be cooked into rice or porridge, or fried into popcorn as a daily snack.
However, flour is indispensable for making delicious food. The flour made from rice is not very good, so Ye Li planned a piece of land and planted winter wheat. When it grows up next year, he can make various pasta dishes.
Peanuts and chestnuts are peeled one by one and used to make peanut oil. The fried peanut oil is stored in a bottle and used for cooking on weekdays.
As soon as the oil was fried in a pot, Ye Li couldn't wait to pick a handful of Chinese cabbage, mixed it with minced garlic, and fried a dish of garlic-stir-fried Chinese cabbage. The taste was simply delicious. Ye Li even used a little bit of the soup to mix with rice.
After such a long time, she finally had something to eat.
After eating, continue frying in peanut oil.
The whole safe house was filled with the aroma of peanut oil, which made Ye Li, a pregnant woman, feel very happy and she couldn't help humming a little tune.
"Oh, I really can't stand it, it smells too good! No, I have to make something delicious again," Ye Li dropped the shovel, ran to the storage room, took out two big sweet potatoes, peeled them, steamed them in a steamer, mashed them into paste, and used it to make fried sweet potato balls.
The golden and crispy sweet potato balls came out of the pot. Ye Li couldn't wait to take a bite, "Wow! So hot!"
After putting them in her mouth, the sweet and delicious taste made her unable to stop. She ate five or six in a row before she was willing to give up.
After eating and drinking, Ye Li took a book and lay down on the sofa. As the sun shone in, he felt a little sleepy.
She touched her belly, feeling the fetal movement. She had been eating so well these days that her belly had grown considerably, perhaps even a little too big. Should she curb her appetite? Otherwise, the fetus would grow too large and be difficult to deliver.
I actually forgot to set it to be published at noon, sorry sorry.
