Seeing Qi Xie's shock, Feng Ran nodded affirmatively.
She plans to start planting herbs on a large scale after harvesting the peanuts in this space.
She felt she should go outside for a walk.
On the other hand, the space currently has a very large quantity of food, especially vegetables. It's entirely possible to plant two more batches of medicinal herbs before returning to planting grains and vegetables.
The extinction of humanity would not be a blessing for her... it could be an endless catastrophe.
Humans are social animals.
If humanity were to eventually become extinct.
She must be quite scared living alone.
"If you take out a large quantity of fresh medicinal herbs, aren't you worried about what might happen later?"
"I'm worried. There's nothing I can do about it. Maybe I won't take it out for now. I'll wait for a suitable opportunity later."
Or we can wait until the ice melts and all the trees are reborn. Then all the problems will cease to be problems.
“I support you,” Feng Nangui said after hearing Feng Ran’s words.
"Thank you. Actually, even if the medicinal herbs are successfully grown, I won't give them away unconditionally in the future."
People are greedy. If it doesn't work out, I'll just dry them and sell them.
To exchange for what one needs.
"Um."
"Do you have medicinal herb seeds?" Bai Lian suddenly asked.
"Yes! Otherwise, why would I have this idea? I recently collected a batch of medicinal herb seeds. I looked at them roughly, and there were dandelion, motherwort, patchouli, mugwort, honeysuckle, atractylodes macrocephala... and many more."
"Planting them is no problem at all."
“These are all easy-to-grow medicinal herbs,” Bai Lian said.
"Yes. It was mixed in with flower seeds. I saw it by chance."
"Then you can just sow the seeds directly."
"Um."
More than a month has passed.
Peanuts are ready for harvest.
The soil in the space was soft. Fengran and Jixiang discussed it and decided to just pull it up and dump it in the kitchen so that everyone could pick it together.
Qi Xie and Bai Lian studied several peanut threshing machines.
Two wooden boards are placed on top of each other. The boards are closed, and with a strong pull, the peanuts fall off one by one.
Very convenient.
The peanut seedlings weren't wasted either. They were directly processed into chicken feed using a feed mixer.
The chickens in the enclosure are getting bigger and bigger, and some have already started laying their first eggs. They're small, but they're nutritious.
The rabbits kept having litters. Fengran decided to outsource the work. They couldn't do it themselves every day.
The Wang family is the best helper.
Wang San San happened to come by yesterday.
Feng Ran asked him to come over to work this morning. He should bring two people with him, preferably a man and a woman.
Wang San San brought his older sister and younger brother with him.
"Your main task today is to kill these thirty rabbits, skin them, and gut them."
"Sure. Shall we do it in the kitchen?"
"Yes. It's too cold outside. There's hot water constantly boiling on three stoves. There's also clean water available. You can use it yourselves."
I'll bring the rabbit back with me when I go back this afternoon.
"This time, will you be paid ten rabbit skins, or ten catties of grain per person?"
"...Rabbit skin, I guess."
"OK."
Five men are picking peanuts side by side.
Feng Ran then started by making everyone a pear drink.
For lunch, Feng Ran decided to let Wang San's older sister cook. She's a good cook.
She usually gets lunch provided when she works for the Wang family here.
At noon, Wang Nana cooked two pots of rice again.
Then I cooked a big pot of braised pork with potatoes.
A big pot of shredded green peppers and potatoes.
Feng Ran had also prepared a large pot of stewed pork bones and white radish in advance.
Finally, Fengran cooked another pot of corn.
The portions of the dishes were all very large.
There was more than enough food for everyone to go out. As for Jixiang and Liluo, who were still hungry, Fengran cooked them a pot of steamed corn with meat buns and dumplings after the meal.
Wang San San and the others finished their work around 3 PM. Before leaving, Feng Ran gave them a few handfuls of peanuts.
Wang Nana couldn't refuse, so she accepted it. Actually, she really wanted to eat it too.
However, they had already taken the rabbit skin from the other party.
The wind told them to come back tomorrow.
The next day, Wang Sansan and his friends collected fifty rabbits. The wind blew on fifteen rabbit pelts.
On the third day, Wang Sansan and his men processed another fifty rabbits. Fifteen rabbit skins were obtained, plus one pound of peanuts.
Walking home, Wang Nana couldn't help but imagine how soft the rabbit fur blanket would be.
These past two days, they've been helping out at Feng Ran's house, and several family members have started processing the rabbit skins.
I believe it won't be long before everyone will be able to use it.
Forty hides can make at least four blankets.
The weather is so cold now, it's the perfect time to use it.
"Brother? What does Feng Ran want us to do tomorrow?" Wang Nana hadn't heard clearly because she was processing the rabbit's internal organs.
"Picking peanuts."
"Alright! As long as there's work to do! Everyone loved the boiled salted peanuts last night. Thank you so much, Fengran, for giving us rabbit skin and extra peanuts."
"Hmm...she's fine."
"Let's work harder tomorrow!"
"Let's invite Aunt and Second Sister tomorrow. Feng Ran said each of them will receive ten catties of grain."
"Okay! Go back and tell them."
"Look how happy my older sister is."
"Are you unhappy? We'll have rabbit skin soon, so I'll give you Auntie's wolf skin."
"real!?"
"yes."
The Wang family had previously made a large wolf-skin blanket from three wolf pelts. It was given to their older aunt.
Now that we have rabbit skin, I'll get it for my aunt.
However, Wang Xiaosi had long wanted a majestic wolf pelt.
