Chapter 148 Dried Peaches
Jiang Xiaoxiao prepared breakfast for everyone early in the morning before anyone got up.
White rice porridge, steamed bread, and shredded pickled vegetables.
I had already eaten a bowl.
While asking everyone to get up and eat.
I went to the ginseng seedling house to feed the chickens and rabbits.
She took some bok choy from her own space, mixed it with some cornmeal, and chopped it up to feed the chickens.
The rabbit is eaten with a whole head of Chinese cabbage.
If Jia Shu knew this, she would be heartbroken.
It must be said that Jiang Xiaoxiao is a spendthrift.
Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the rabbits and chickens eating happily.
It seems that these guys have grown a little bigger.
When they saw Jiang Xiaoxiao, they became so excited that they jumped up and down.
Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly had a feeling that they seemed to know something.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Xiaoxiao quietly found two tall and strong ginseng seedlings and threw them into the space.
These ginseng seedlings were secretly processed by Jiang Xiaoxiao in the space and watered with spiritual spring water. I hope they will live up to everyone's expectations.
Otherwise, how could she look so pleasing?
Haven’t you seen how attentively Jia Shu takes care of you every day?
Anyway, no one knows the specific growth rate of ginseng seedlings. Besides, these ginseng seedlings just grow strong and not as scary as those in space.
Even if someone saw it, at most they would think that the ginseng seedlings were indeed rare, but no one would speculate anything.
Of course, it is also because they have a kang, and many people probably think that it has the effect of a greenhouse.
If the director of a real forest farm came to see it, he would probably be shocked.
You have to know that it takes at least several months to cultivate the ginseng seedlings here. How is that possible?
It's a pity that the director of the forest farm is busy fighting the disaster and has no time to visit them.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's space has become five plots of land, and these plots of land are empty anyway.
She has always been puzzled as to why only the peach trees planted in the first piece of land produced good results, and that the peaches even mutated, while the wheat and rice she planted later did not undergo any fundamental mutations.
Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't figure out the pattern, and the land behind couldn't be left empty.
So they planted ginseng and rosewood.
There are quite a few seeds and saplings in my space.
She thought about it and decided to plant a rosewood tree to see what it would look like.
She had a hunch that there seemed to be a slight difference between planting saplings and short-term crops such as grain on the land.
I am very much looking forward to seeing how fast this ginseng seedling will grow.
Anyway, our space is growing at a wild rate.
Of course, Jiang Xiaoxiao is still experimenting. She can feel that the warm feeling on her body when she woke up this morning has disappeared.
She even tried it with a kitchen knife.
Although the wound was healing, it took an hour to heal this time.
Jiang Xiaoxiao decided to try again in the evening.
The educated youth had all gotten up, washed up and had breakfast. Song Moting went there but didn't see Jiang Xiaoxiao.
"Where's Jiang Xiaoxiao? What are you doing instead of eating?"
Song Moting was worried about Jiang Xiaoxiao. After sleeping for three days and three nights, she must be weak. She suddenly got up and ran out without worrying about what was wrong with her body.
Jia Shu smiled and said, "Brother Song, don't worry. Xiao Xiao went to feed the chickens and rabbits. She had already eaten. When I went to call her, she was playing well with the chickens and rabbits. You know what, those pheasants and rabbits are actually quite strong.
I think it's a lot bigger than yesterday. I didn't expect that pheasants and rabbits, which are said to be wild and difficult to tame, are so easy to raise here."
Gu Dali took a look at his wound and asked, "Is that the pheasant you caught yesterday?"
He felt deeply hurt. Jia Shu was definitely doing it on purpose and targeted him every time.
Was that pheasant so easy to catch yesterday? I almost poked myself blind.
The remaining few educated youth who were catching pheasants and rabbits also expressed their views.
"I guess those pheasants and rabbits were hungry all night, so they are now well behaved. They were very powerful when we caught them yesterday."
When Jia Shu saw the injuries on the arms of several people, she felt sorry. How could she have forgotten that they were all injured? What she said sounded like she doubted their strength.
But she was also a little surprised to see the chickens and rabbits being so well behaved today.
Those pheasants and rabbits are not aggressive at all and are very obedient.
She even reached out and touched the rabbit.
But let’s not say that here.
If you say it out loud, it will become showing off.
"Maybe I saw it wrong."
Jia Shu quickly changed the subject.
Song Moting quickly finished his meal and arranged the tasks for today. Although they didn't have much work, they couldn't just stay in the house during the winter.
"After dinner today, the boys and I cleared the snow off the roof and the yard. Of course, if possible, we also shoveled the snow on the road outside the door. After all, the snow has stopped today, and it should stop for two days at this rate.
We need to hurry and work as soon as possible while the snow has not melted yet."
Gu Dali looked outside and said, "I thought I could rest in the winter and stay indoors. Who knew I would have to work everywhere? The production teams down the mountain must have a more comfortable life than us."
He Aiguo was very happy.
"Okay, stop talking and let's get to work. People say that auspicious snow means a good harvest. The snow has stopped in the past two days, so we should take this opportunity to clean up this place. Otherwise, when the next heavy snow comes, we may not know what will happen."
After this first snow, everyone has objectively understood what the first winter here will be like. You know, it’s only December and it’s already so cold here.
After finishing their meal, everyone went out to work, carrying shovels and brooms, and they were all very excited.
The workers at the forest farm arrived earlier than them.
It's a busy place outside.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jia Shu boiled two large pots of hot water and helped the male educated youth wash and hang out their clothes.
You have to know that in the winter here, clothes hung outside will instantly freeze into popsicles.
After washing the clothes, you can only hang them on the rope in the house, otherwise the clothes will not dry.
Two people should always do something within their ability.
Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly had an idea. Her peach tree could produce 12 peaches each time. If she didn't pick all the peaches, the tree would not produce any more peaches.
But I can't take out these fresh peaches in the middle of winter, that would be too scary.
It’s hard to explain. We have to think of a way to make proper use of these peaches and allow the peach trees to continue to bear peaches.
After all, the function of this peach is too powerful.
She thought about it and the only way was to make these peaches into dried peaches.
Once the fruit is made into candied fruit, no one can tell what it is, and you can even lie and claim that you brought it from home.
If any emergency occurs, this dried peach can also explain it clearly.
But making dried peaches is not that easy.
With so many people coming in and out, it's really hard to do it.
Jiang Xiaoxiao thought that it would be great if she could build a stove in her space, then put a big pot inside and make dried peaches.
It’s a pity that I don’t know how to make the stove.
Alas, it is not very convenient here. If they could go to the county town, they could buy a stove and put it directly in the space, but there is no way now.
