Moreover, the limbs were missing, but the head had rolled away not far from the body. He and a teammate found the body and were quite frightened. Who knew it was that pervert Qian Jiangchao who did it!
Looks like I'll have to stay away from that pervert Qian Jiangchao from now on, or I won't even know if he'll eat me alive someday.
The man muttered something to himself, then threw the dead rat in his hand far away before wiping the blood from his mouth and hands and walking into the villa. These small fry lived in villas, while the big shots lived in higher-floor apartments.
...
Now let's talk about the Phoenix Dyeing Base. Since the rats stopped coming in, everyone's life has become quiet again, and everyone's daily tasks are properly assigned.
The water resources inside the cave can also be reused.
Moreover, the temperature seems to have returned to normal with the seasonal changes.
Several months passed. Feng Ran opened her phone and examined the calendar. She discovered that the temperature on the current day matched the temperature of the season on the normal calendar before the apocalypse.
According to the normal time of year, it is summer now, and the temperature is in the 30s.
So it's normal.
Three more months passed, and autumn arrived in the blink of an eye, the time when chestnuts and yams ripened.
Wang Xiaosi went to check on the yam patch, and it had been almost completely destroyed. The rats had even dug out their burrows and chewed up half of the yam roots.
However, chestnuts were completely unaffected, possibly because their outer shells have thorns.
So they didn't suffer any losses, and then everyone organized a chestnut-hunting team.
Wang Xiaosi and his group organized several people and harvested chestnuts from several chestnut trees in one day. Feng Ran also asked them to dig up a chestnut tree and bring it back, which she planned to plant in her space that night.
This way, she won't have to search everywhere for chestnuts when she wants to eat them in the future. She had never planted chestnut trees before, so this is even better.
With a bumper chestnut harvest, everyone can enjoy them. You can make stir-fried chestnuts, braised chicken with chestnuts, or stewed duck with chestnuts.
After eating enough chestnuts, chicken, and duck stew for several days in a row, everyone simply put clean sand in a large iron pot and started roasting the rest of the food.
It took Gu Zhou's mother-in-law and the others three days to finish cooking.
It's okay, it's a great little snack. We also harvested the sunflowers, so after roasting the chestnuts, we knocked the sunflower seeds off the dried sunflower seed trays and roasted several different kinds. After roasting, we sealed them in bags.
Feng Ran's food won't spoil no matter how long it's stored in the space. During holidays or when there's nothing else to do, Feng Ran will pour a bowl of food into a clean container for everyone to eat together, especially when chatting and gossiping.
However, there are few of them now, so there's not much gossip to talk about; they can only talk about what happened before the apocalypse.
Now that the power supply is stable, Fengran can slowly watch the variety shows and TV dramas he previously stored on his iPad.
Every day after dinner, everyone sits together to watch variety shows, TV dramas, and movies, while snacking on sunflower seeds, chestnuts, and fruit. Life couldn't be better.
"By the way, what are you all planning to plant in the yard outside?"
"It's already autumn, time to start thinking about planting some food. Does anyone have any good suggestions?" Feng Ran asked the others.
"What do we plant in autumn?" Qi Xie asked.
"Isn't wheat planted in the fall?" Gu Zhou's mother-in-law replied.
“Yes. It seems like your wheat experienced the winter,” Wang Lili added.
“I think it would be a waste to grow grain since our base yard isn’t very big. Let’s think about what vegetables or things we would like to eat, and we can grow some for our own consumption,” Feng Ran said to the group.
"Then we should plant Chinese cabbage or something, since winter is coming soon and we need to plant some cold-resistant plants," Bai Lian suggested.
"Chinese cabbage is fine, I love eating Chinese cabbage the most."
"Sister Fengran, I really love the kimchi you always bring out. It would be great if you could grow more regular cabbage," Wang Xiaosi said.
"We definitely can't do without cilantro! Cilantro is the best! Can we plant a small patch?" Wang Nana suggested softly.
"Of course! I also like cilantro, so let's plant a small patch of cilantro, and we should plant garlic too."
"What about the big white radishes? I'm afraid our land won't support them."
"There are some. Because there's a lot of soil and gravel underground, white radishes might not grow well, and they might not grow very large," Bai Lian added.
"Anything else? Does anyone have any other good ideas?" Feng Ran continued, asking the others.
Because if we grow vegetables in the base's yard, then everyone will be working together, and we'll definitely be growing vegetables and fruits that everyone likes to eat.
This way, everyone will be more motivated to work, and they'll be happier eating the produce. Feng Ran believes that the construction of the base must be people-oriented.
Although she initiated the establishment of the base and it was primarily her own initiative, she still hoped to make everyone happy.
"Should we build another greenhouse?"
"Because it gets cold in winter, many vegetables might not be available to everyone then. Should we build a separate greenhouse to grow some off-season vegetables?" Wang Nana said, looking at the group.
"That's a good idea. We can build a separate greenhouse next to the wall."
“Okay, shall we make some more plastic sheeting for the greenhouses?” Wang San San said.
Since they now have plastic-making machines, it would be advantageous for them to stock up on more plastic film for greenhouses now, as they are relatively idle. They can stock up on more plastic sheeting for greenhouses so that they can use it to cover their houses and keep them dry in the future.
In fact, Feng Ran quite agreed with Wang San San's suggestion.
Previously, the greenhouse film was made by piecing together waterproof cloth and plastic bags from his space, but now that they have a plastic-making machine, they can take advantage of the fact that everyone has more time now, and the electricity supply can be made up for. If all else fails, she can turn on the generator.
We hadn't used the generator before, wanting to save it for when we needed it, but now the sun's temperature is just right. If we add a diesel generator, the machine can run perfectly well.
“That really works. So, Qi Xie, could you take a few people down the mountain tomorrow and find some plastic products? We can use this time to make more plastic film, which can then be used in the greenhouses.”
"good"
"Can."
