Chapter 65: Protecting the Child
Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned when she entered the space. The cabbages in her field were growing so vigorously.
Is this still called Chinese cabbage?
It’s almost like cabbage.
Feeling guilty.
I have been very busy these past two days since I returned to my hometown to take care of my grandparents' health.
She forgot about the cabbages in the field.
Without saying a word, he picked all the cabbages.
Just as she expected, this crop that could only be harvested once was ripe.
The entire piece of land can be used to grow other crops, unlike peach trees, where it is impossible to grow other plants.
Looking at the vacant land, she thought for a while and decided that she should leave some ready-made things for her parents. Rice and flour were the most suitable, so it seemed she had to grow rice.
In this age of material scarcity, even if you have money you may not be able to buy anything.
Especially since they are considered city dwellers, people with urban household registration rely on food rations for food. There is a fixed amount of food rations every month. If you buy enough, you won’t be able to buy food when you want to.
Moreover, coarse and fine grains are rationed, and you cannot buy rice and flour even if you have money.
Jiang Xiaoxiao calculated that she would leave in a week.
If calculated according to the time in her space, she could harvest one crop per day on average, so the rice she could harvest in a week should be at least several thousand kilograms.
And she discovered the biggest benefit: the cabbages she harvested from her own land could be placed directly in the warehouse of her own space.
It is very clear from the warehouse that this piece of land has harvested about 1,000 kilograms of cabbage.
Having said that, a piece of land in space is about one-fifth of an acre.
After all, her land is green and pure natural plant-based, without any chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
But she remembered that the rice seedlings had to be grown out first before they could be planted.
I don’t know how to grow seedlings myself.
He had to change his mind and plant wheat first. It seemed that his parents would not be able to eat rice for the time being.
There was no way. Although she had done a lot of farm work in her previous life, she had indeed not done much work like raising rice seedlings.
Who made her become a rural doctor later?
She made up her mind that when she went to the countryside, she would ask the old farmers for advice. Of course, it might be a farm, but there would always be experienced people.
Let’s learn how to farm from others. Since we have our own space,
Grow good wheat.
Jiang Xiaoxiao fell asleep.
She slept until dawn, woke up and stayed in bed with her eyes closed.
Anyway, my parents don’t say anything to her.
Mainly because I was busy until midnight yesterday.
I went straight into the space and took a look, and sure enough, the wheat on the ground had already produced golden ears of wheat.
The quality of Space Products is indeed not exaggerated.
Jiang Xiaoxiao had harvested all the wheat, and she had discovered it yesterday.
All the planting and harvesting in the space only requires her own thoughts. As long as she thinks about it, the seeds will be planted in the ground.
The same is true for the current harvest.
After planting a new batch of wheat, she finally left the space and prepared to get up.
I was also thinking about what would happen if I tried planting rice without cultivating seedlings.
Dad and brother have already gone to the factory.
Fan Xiuying told Jiang Xiaoxiao yesterday that she and her grandfather would take her grandmother to the hospital for a medical checkup today.
She was worried about her mother's health. If she didn't check it carefully, who knew what problems might arise one day.
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't go, not because she didn't care.
She knows what's going on.
In any case, she had some idea of the effects on her body after eating the peach.
Jiang Xiaoxiao did not go to the hospital with her mother today because she wanted to stay at home and grow her cabbage and wheat in a reasonable and clear way.
She didn't say anything. After cleaning up the house, she took out ten kilograms of cabbage from her space.
And wheat, it cannot be used without being ground into flour.
She roughly figured out that the wheat yield was about 500 kilograms.
She found the sack at home and took the wheat directly out of the space.
Then he went to the aunt next door to borrow a tricycle and loaded the sacks onto the tricycle.
Not far from them is Xiaowang Village, and that village has a mill. Otherwise, you won’t be able to find a place to grind flour or rice in the city.
Fortunately, she still remembered the skill of pulling the tricycle, otherwise it would be really difficult for her to transport the wheat to the mill!
The space cannot be used casually. If someone sees you doing it on the street, you're asking for death.
Five hundred kilograms of wheat can produce four hundred kilograms of flour.
It costs three dollars to grind 500 kilograms of wheat if they don't want the bran.
Then just one dollar and fifty cents will be enough.
The owner of the mill is a real man.
At first glance, he looks like an honest person.
He didn't play any tricks. He just ground the flour and found a few bags to pack it for her. He only charged her five cents.
Jiang Xiaoxiao rode the tricycle and brought back the four bags of noodles.
That really made me sweat.
After arriving home, he carried the four bags of noodles into his brother's room.
It would be unsafe if this was left in the kitchen. These two years are not the same as the years to come.
The rats are rampant.
It's okay if you put it in the house where there are people, but if you put it in the kitchen, the rats will rebel.
After packing up, Jiang Xiaoxiao looked at the time and estimated that her grandparents and Fan Xiuying should be back soon, so she started cooking.
Anyway, she had some freshly ground white flour today, and she wanted to try out the effect of her white flour.
Let the flour rise first.
In this kind of weather, the dough rises very quickly.
I happened to have some pakchoi, so I went out to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two pounds of pork.
The pork has more lean meat and less fat. The butcher cut it like this because he didn't know Jiang Xiaoxiao.
In this era, fatty meat is the most sought-after commodity.
No one wants too much lean meat.
I chopped the meat and prepared to make dumplings for lunch.
Although the bok choy filling seems to be a little watery, it’s just right to make dumplings after squeezing out the water.
By the time Fan Xiuying and the others entered the house, the whole yard was filled with fragrance.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was just walking into the house carrying a large basin.
"Mom, grandma and grandpa, you're back, wash your hands quickly. I made dumplings for lunch today, and they were big meat dumplings with cabbage filling."
Jiang Xiaoxiao showed off proudly.
You have to know that she was spoiled by her parents in the past, and she is really lazy and doesn't know the difference between grains.
Not to mention steamed buns, I'm afraid the steamed buns may become doughy.
Fan Xiuying hurried over to pick up the curtain for her daughter.
"Why are you so anxious, girl? Can't you just wait for mom to come back and make it? Tell me, you have never steamed buns before, why did you think of steaming them today? Making dumplings is more convenient than steaming buns. If the dough is not well fermented, the steamed buns will be as hard as iron lumps."
How could Fan Xiuying not be anxious?
This is white flour.
I'm afraid my daughter will be harmed.
Jiang Xiaoxiao immediately blocked her mother's mouth with a bun.
I don't trust her.
Fan Xiuying took a bite.
My eyes lit up, and I have to say, the buns are really delicious.
"Don't blame Xiaoxiao. It's good enough that she can think of cooking for us at her age. This is the child's kindness. Can't you praise the child properly? I think these buns are very good."
The old lady rolled her eyes at her daughter, saying that this was bullying her granddaughter.
He was twisting his ears yesterday, but today he just protects them.
"Come, Xiaoxiao, bring the buns to grandma. Grandma thinks these buns are delicious. Your mom doesn't like them, so tell her not to eat them. Grandma will have to eat at least three of them later. These are the first buns made by our Xiaoxiao, so grandma has to give face to our Xiaoxiao no matter what. And they must be delicious. Grandma can smell it."
The old lady is really protective of her child.
