[System, sign in.]
[Ding—Successful sign-in on the twentieth day of fleeing famine, received sign-in reward: two kilograms of rice, two sweet corns, and five soft candies. The reward has been put into the system space. ]
Completed today's sign-in as usual.
Lu Changge took out the sweet corn, broke it into four pieces, and put it into the steamer to steam it together with the buns.
Then place five gummies next to the kid's pillow.
Not long after, the little dumpling ran out of the house.
"Daddy! Gummy candies!" Little Dumpling held five gummy candies in his little hands and showed them to his daddy. His face turned red with excitement.
"Well, only the best-behaved children get candy." Lu Changge said casually.
"Tuanzi is the best!"
After breakfast, Lu Changge started making potato vermicelli.
After being exposed to the sun for a day and a night, the potato flour has dried.
Li Tugen's three children arrived at Lu's house on time and started to help.
Li Tugen was boiling water in the kitchen, Li Xiaomin was collecting potato flour in the yard, and Li Erniu was washing bamboo strips at the sink for later use.
Now that everything is ready, start making potato vermicelli.
Lu Changge took a clean wooden basin and poured potato flour and appropriate amount of water into it.
Stir until it becomes flocculent, then knead into a ball.
After kneading the dough until smooth, put it into the dough sheeter and start rolling it out.
The pressed vermicelli falls into boiling water.
After the vermicelli is cooked, take it out and put it into cold water immediately.
Take a bamboo stick, hang the vermicelli that has been rinsed with cold water on it, and then hang it in the sun.
The next step is to repeat the steps of kneading the dough, pressing the dough, boiling the flour, and drying the flour.
After a few times, Li Tugen and the other two who were watching from the side also understood.
Then redivide the work.
Li Xiaomin, who is good at making pasta, kneads dough.
Lu Changge was in charge of the pressure.
Li Xiaomin's younger brother Li Erniu was responsible for putting firewood in the fire and cooking the noodles.
Li Tugen was in charge of the last step, hanging powder and drying.
After the division of labor, work efficiency was greatly improved. In one morning, all the potato flour was made into vermicelli.
Now hang it in the sun.
It will be dried in two or three days.
After three days, all the potato vermicelli were dried.
1,750 kilograms of potatoes were used to make 240 kilograms of vermicelli, which means about seven kilograms of potatoes can produce one kilogram of vermicelli.
Two pounds make one bundle, and a total of 120 bundles of potato vermicelli are harvested.
Put 10 bundles in the kitchen and put the rest in the food storage.
It’s the twenty-third day of signing in for the famine escape, and there are still seven days left until the locust plague begins.
The radishes, cabbages and potatoes have been harvested.
Now there is one acre of sweet potatoes, half an acre of taro, and one and a half acres of rice left in the field.
Sweet potatoes are planted in May, and the best time to harvest is probably in late September or early October.
However, if we really have to wait until that time to dig, the land will be dry and cracked due to locust plagues and droughts.
And people were short of food at that time.
Maybe Lu Changge doesn't even need to dig, as other people in the village have taken the initiative to "help".
By then, the harvest may be even less than it is now.
Finally, Lu Changge decided to dig the sweet potatoes now.
However, due to time constraints and the remote location of his sweet potato field.
Lu Changge directly asked Da Teng and Er Teng to dig at night.
So, when Lu Changge woke up early in the morning, he saw a yard full of sweet potatoes.
And the sweet potato vines that blocked the door.
Lu Changge: “…”
Because sweet potatoes are piled near the gate, now his gate has been submerged by sweet potato vines.
As it happened, his wife got up early today.
Therefore, Lu Changge could not let Da Teng and Er Teng clean up the scene before his wife woke up.
Looking at the sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines piled up in the yard, Su Qingyun was speechless for a long time.
"...Husband, did you go digging sweet potatoes in the dark last night?" Su Qingyun was silent for a long time before speaking.
Even if time is tight, it doesn't have to be this way.
However, Su Qingyun remembered that her husband was lying next to him before he fell asleep.
Could it be that...
Su Qingyun looked at Lu Changge with emotion and guilt.
"My husband, thank you for your hard work."
Her husband has sacrificed so much for this family.
Lu Changge: “???”
What weird things is his wife thinking about?
I'm confused.jpg
Su Qingyun filled in all the plot in her own mind, without Lu Changge having to explain anything.
In the end, Lu Changge remained silent.
At this time, Su Qingyun didn't know that he had missed an opportunity to open the door to a new world.
After working hard all night, Da Teng and Ni Teng had their credit taken away by their master: It was all a mistake after all...
The sweet potatoes have been dug up, and today's breakfast has an extra dish of steamed sweet potatoes.
The sweet potatoes are only two months old and are not very big, but they taste good.
After being cooked, it is sweet and sticky, and the little dumplings love to eat it.
However, eating too much sweet potato can be a bit embarrassing.
The little ball let out a few loud farts and then shyly covered his face with his hands.
Because the sweet potatoes are dug two months in advance, the yield will decrease accordingly.
One mu of sweet potato field yielded about 2,400 kilograms of sweet potatoes.
Taro can be harvested in August.
It’s okay to dig it a month in advance, at most the size will be a little smaller.
In the end, 1,600 kilograms of taro were dug out from half an acre of taro field, which was not bad.
After harvesting, the taro is placed directly into food storage without any secondary processing.
Sweet potatoes, like potatoes, take half to make sweet potato vermicelli.
However, the flour yield of sweet potatoes is slightly better than that of potatoes. Six pounds of sweet potatoes can produce one pound of vermicelli.
In the end, 1,200 kilograms of sweet potatoes were used to make 200 kilograms of sweet potato vermicelli.
Also two pounds make one bundle, for a total of 100 bundles.
Keep five bundles to take to the kitchen and put the rest in the food storage container.
After everything was done, it was already the end of June.
The locusts are almost here.
…
June has just ended and today is the first day of July.
Lu Changge came back from the fields and was walking on the road.
Accompanying him were a few middle-aged men who had just finished watering the fields.
Several villagers were walking and chatting, and Lu Changge walked beside them and did not join them.
Suddenly, Lu Changge stretched out his hand and grabbed in the air.
The villagers nearby naturally saw his actions and turned around to ask curiously, "Land Hunter, what did you catch?"
Lu Changge opened his palm and caught a winged flying insect to death.
"What kind of bug is this?"
"I don't know, it looks a little familiar..."
Several others came over to take a look, and one of them looked up and saw another one on the tree next to him.
"Huh? There's one on this tree, too..."
A few villagers couldn't remember what kind of insect it was, so they didn't take it seriously and continued chatting while carrying the wooden bucket home.
Lu Changge threw the locust in his hand away expressionlessly and separated from them at a corner.
Two days later, this kind of insect was seen occasionally from the beginning.
Now there are several flying in the air and several resting on each tree.
No one knows who was the first to try it, but the children in the village gathered together and roasted the locusts they caught.
Then they played a game, and the loser had to eat roasted insects.
Later I thought it tasted good.
Nowadays, children in the village hold a few skewers in their hands and eat them while walking.
An old man with a white beard who was enjoying the cool under a big banyan tree inadvertently saw the things in the children's hands and felt that they looked familiar.
Then he said, "Da Hu, what are you holding in your hands?"
"Roasted insects, they smell delicious! Do you want some, Third Uncle?"
After the child passed a string of insects to the old man, who was called Third Uncle, he could see the insects clearly.
The third uncle frowned, "This is not..."
Two days later, a rumor suddenly spread in the village that a locust plague was coming.
After inquiring, we found out that it was spread by the children in the village.
When we asked the children, they didn’t know who told them.
The day after the locust plague rumors began, that is, the sixth day of July.
Lu Changge hired ten strong men and spent the whole morning harvesting his family's one and a half acres of rice.
Lu Changge stood on the edge of the field, looking expressionlessly at the dozen or so locusts flying through the air.
The ten strong men he hired were busy harvesting rice.
The locust plague will break out in mid-July, and there are only a few days left.
And now, the number of locusts that people can see with their naked eyes is increasing.
A few timid families, seeing that Lu Changge had withdrawn, also hurried out with their families.
Later, two days later, I saw more and more locusts flying overhead.
The villagers who were still watching also hurriedly took action.
…
[System, sign in.]
[Ding—Successfully signed in on the 39th day of fleeing famine, and received sign-in rewards: two kilograms of rice, three steamed cakes, and seven cherry tomatoes.
The sign-in reward has been put into the system space. 】
Today is the ninth day of July, and their rice has been exposed to the sun for almost three days.
Pick up a few and take a bite, they are crispy.
After another three or four days of drying, it can basically be put into storage.
However, the locusts flying in the sky were becoming more and more dense at this time, and the sight of them was so dense that it made people's scalps numb.
The yard was covered with straw mats on which rice was laid out to dry.
There are also some outside the gate.
Lu Changge and Su Qingyun sat in the main hall, guarding the place, while Dahei and Erhei were watching outside the door.
The main purpose is to prevent locusts from flying down from the sky.
However, with Lu Changge here, there is nothing to worry about.
A mere locust is not even worth mentioning under the first-level psychic ability.
However, in order to make their home look less abnormal.
Lu Changge will occasionally let a few locusts fall down, then throw blocks to knock them down.
"Husband, there are more and more locusts. Let's pick all the vegetables in the garden tomorrow."
"good."
If you pick the vegetables, you can eat them for a few more days. If you don’t pick them, they will become food for the insects.
