Chapter 1140 Stepfather 51
In the deep mountains and old forests, where the jungles are lush, they also plant many pumpkins, winter melons, sweet potatoes, corn, corn, potatoes and other crops.
The land in the mountains is fertile, so you basically don’t have to worry about what you plant. You can grow whatever you want. In autumn, you can just harvest the fruits.
The Shen family had no vegetable plot, so Yuanchun gave Shen Yi a lot of vegetable seeds and asked him to plant them next to the dry rice fields in the deep mountains. Now the vegetables in the three ridges of vegetable fields next to the dry rice fields are growing better than the vegetables in her backyard.
The Shen family is actually not short of food.
But if the Yuanchun family couldn't finish it, she would still send it to the Shen family.
Yuanchun told him, "If you can't finish the vegetables, ask your mother to dry them and save them for winter. The winter in the Northeast is freezing and snowy, so you can't grow vegetables. The common people can only stew some dried vegetables, eat some pickled sauerkraut, dried vegetables and sauerkraut." No more food to eat , I just ate doenjang. When I ran out of doenjang, I could only eat hard black-faced steamed buns. Moreover, the winter days in the Northeast are very long. For most of the year, the ground is frozen and hard, making it difficult to hoe. ”
Therefore, in the Northeast, people cannot grow vegetables for most of the year, so they rely on eating stored vegetables.
When the stored vegetables were gone, the common people ate white rice. This rice was not rice, but millet, sorghum rice, or black-faced steamed buns or cornstarch dumplings.
The people in the Northeast eat coarse grains and rarely eat refined grains throughout the year.
The Shen family came from the south and were used to eating fine grains. They ate rice, white flour and steamed buns every day. They were not used to coarse grains at all. That's why Shen Yi tried every means to find dry rice seeds from the black market and secretly planted them in the mountains and old forests. .
Because he felt sorry for his grandparents and mother who ate whole grains and couldn't eat them anymore, so they had to swallow them hard, which made him sad.
"You help me dry the vegetables. It's not suitable at my house." Shen Yi said, "I'll make you a fox fur scarf as a reward."
"Do you know how to sharpen your skin?"
"Yeah."
"Great, I have a lot of rabbit skins at home. You can help me tan the skins, and I can help you dry the vegetables."
"Okay, I'll go to your house to get the rabbit skin tonight." "Okay, it's a deal."
Yuan Chun and Shen Yi went to see the dry rice. Yuan Chun picked all the ripe cucumbers, beans, peppers, and eggplants. Then he pointed to the edible cabbage and lettuce and said, "You pick some leafy vegetables and eat them back. I will help you dry the other vegetables."
"A Chun, thank you."
"We are friends, you're welcome."
"But I still want to thank you."
When all the villagers were afraid of avoiding them, only this silly girl would secretly get close to them and help them a lot.
Now, Shen Yi suspected that the person who gave them quilts on the first night they arrived was probably Yuan Chun.
Every household is in short supply of quilts, and there is simply no extra to give away.
He also inquired that her stepfather and mother had passed away not long before they went to Hongqi Village, and there must be some idle quilts at home. However, he had been to her home several times, and there were no other quilts in her home except for the quilt she made. Didn't see any other quilts.

If she didn't throw it away, she would have given it away.
Yuanchun grinned, "Okay, I received your thanks."
"Ayi, this rice has a shorter growth period than corn and is about to be harvested. We have to harvest the rice before the autumn harvest. However, this rice is rare in Hongqi Village. After harvesting, we can only grind the millet in the cave and cannot take it. Go back.”
