After entering the space, Xu Jianguo went straight to the outside of the hare and pheasant cages. In order to make room for the upcoming pigs, cattle and sheep, he needed to kill the remaining hare and pheasant families. With a thought, more than 20 hares and more than 50 pheasants were dealt with cleanly.
Some people may say that the number of pheasants is not right, why are there so many?
The last time Xu Jianguo adjusted the time flow rate in the hare area to be consistent with the outside world, so the hares did not continue to reproduce during this period.
The time flow rate of pheasants is still 60 times. After the last processing, there are more than a dozen pheasants left, of which half are roosters and half are hens. According to the average annual egg production of pheasants of 40 eggs and the incubation period of 24 days, excluding broken eggs and unhatched chickens, Xu Jianguo roughly calculated that in the past ten days, he had killed more than 400 pheasants, resulting in the utility room and warehouse being full.
After dealing with the hare and pheasant, Xu Jianguo dealt with the wild deer. After the deer skin was cleaned, it was placed on the kang in the main house together with the hare skin, waiting to be used in winter.
When he arrived at the planting area, Xu Jianguo harvested the ripe corn in the field, then threshed and ground it, and then bags of cornmeal were neatly stacked on the open space.
After thinking for a while, Xu Jianguo continued to plant corn in the field. The autumn harvest would begin in two days. Since Sandaliang Village is located in a valley and has a humid climate, the main crops grown in the village are rice and corn. Simply put, fine grains and coarse grains each account for half.
But at this time, people's demands for the quality of food are not so high. Instead, they pay more attention to the quantity, because being full is what people need most at the moment.
According to my memory, after the spring or autumn harvest every year, the team would distribute the remaining grain after paying the public grain to the villagers. In order to feed their families, the villagers would usually choose to exchange most of the fine grains in their hands for coarse grains. The general exchange ratio was about 1:2, that is, 1 kilogram of fine grain for 2 kilograms of coarse grains. Of course, there were higher ratios, which mainly depended on the needs of both parties.
The places where villagers exchange food are mostly in the county's black market, so Xu Jianguo can foresee that the demand for coarse grains in the black market will increase greatly in the future, which is why Xu Jianguo continues to grow corn.
After planting the corn and watering all the land with well water, Xu Jianguo left the space.
The next morning, Xu Jianguo woke up on time and glanced at Funiu. It turned out that Funiu, who was supposed to sleep next to him, had run to the end of the kang. Where she was lying, there was a big map printed on the mattress.
Xu Jianguo couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The little girl was awakened by Xu Jianguo's laughter. With her messy hair, she looked at her silly brother with sleepy eyes.
"Haha, what are you laughing at?"
"Funiu, look what this is?" Xu Jianguo asked, pointing at Funiu's work on the mattress.
"Huh? What is this?"
Looking at the little guy's confused expression, Xu Jianguo burst out laughing again.
"Funiu, my brother was almost washed away by the flood last night."
"Ah? Haha, are you okay? Where did the flood come from?" When Funiu heard it, she quickly crawled over from a distance and asked with concern.
"It's okay, it's okay, Funiu, just listen to what your brother is saying. If you need to pee at night next time, remember to wake up your brother."
"Ah? Oh, I get it, haha!"
Xu Jianguo did not tell Funiu that the map was her work, but just reminded her to tell him when she got up at night.
This is also to protect the self-esteem of children. Don’t think that children have no self-esteem because they are young. Equal treatment and communication are beneficial to the physical and mental health of children.
After taking Funiu to wash her face and brush her teeth, Xu Jianguo took the mattress to the yard to dry. Worried about being seen by others, he deliberately turned the side with the map towards the yard and took out several mattresses at once to dry, just to confuse people.
After settling Funiu down, Xu Jianguo began to make breakfast. He took out eggs and bacon from the space and fried them in a frying pan. Then he toasted the bread slices in a toaster in the kitchen in the storage space. Finally, he spread jam on them and added hot milk. A simple Western breakfast was ready, and the little one was very satisfied.
Xiao Hei's breakfast was also very rich, with boiled pork belly and half a steamed bun, broken into pieces and put into a bowl, and then the remaining soup from cooking the meat was poured in and stirred evenly. The little dog ate like an old sow, which made Funiu giggle.
After the two of them had packed up, Xu Jianguo took Funiu to the brigade headquarters.
On the way, he met Li Erniu and others who were on patrol. After asking, he found out that in order to prevent anyone from stealing food, the team ordered him to lead the militia and strong laborers from each family to patrol the fields day and night. Just last night, they actually caught two thieves who stole corn.
Most of the fields in Sandaliang Village are terraced. Patrolling day and night, either going up or down the mountain, made everyone very tired. Fortunately, the two thieves were caught, so everyone's efforts were not in vain.
"Uncle Erniu, why do I feel like our village hasn't encountered food thieves in several years? These people are really something. They run to the mountains to steal food and don't even feel tired!" Xu Jianguo said.
"I'm telling you, Jianguo, there aren't many in our village. I heard from people in Shilibao a few days ago that they've already got several batches."
"There are really people who are not afraid of death. How do we deal with these people?"
"They're being bundled up at the brigade headquarters now. We'll send them to the commune after the autumn harvest is over."
