Chapter 193 Only when you have a surplus of food can you not panic
The five Xia Chan brothers and sisters have three household registrations, so naturally there are three rabbits. Xia Qi immediately started processing the rabbits after taking them home. The five of them can eat one rabbit, and the remaining two can be dried. Rabbit or smoked rabbit.
Xia Qi was dealing with the rabbit when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Here we come." Xia Chan put down the gourd in her hand and went out to open the door. She saw Xiao Fengfeng, Xiao Tiantian and Yuan Bingbing each carrying a rabbit.
Xiao Fengfeng lives in a single room and has a rabbit.
Xiao Tiantian and Yuan Bingbing lived in a double room. They only had one rabbit, but now they brought two rabbits over. One of them must belong to someone else.
Xia Chan was a little surprised, "We divided the rabbits today. If you don't cook rabbits in the dormitory, why do you come to my house?"
"Xia Chan, it's not convenient for us to make rabbits here. Can you help us process them? Or we can all eat the rabbits together." Xiao Tiantian pouted and looked at Xia Chan pitifully.
Yuan Bingbing said, "Can you help me process this rabbit and let me take it away?"
Because her rabbit belonged to Zhou Ji, and letting Zhou Ji make it himself would definitely waste the rabbit, so she decided to take it to Xia Chan for processing.
"Of course you can, but we don't have that much water at home, so..." Cleaning the rabbit also takes a lot of water. There is only so much water in the water tank. Xia Chan can't buy it directly from the 'Crossing Mall' in front of her brother. Water?
"Leave the water matter to me." Xiao Fengfeng stuffed the rabbit into Xiao Tiantian, went to the kitchen with ease, picked up the water-carrying tools and went out.
Xia Chan handed the three rabbits they brought over to Xia Qi to handle, "Brother, thank you for your hard work. I leave the preliminary preparations to you. I will process them later."
Then he asked Xiao Tiantian, "Tiantian, do you want to finish all your rabbits? How about the three of you make one and dry the remaining one to eat next time?"
Xiao Tiantian glanced at Yuan Bingbing and saw that Yuan Bingbing did not refuse, so she nodded, "Okay, everything is at your discretion."
She and Yuan Bingbing were given a rabbit, so it wouldn't be half for each of them, right? That was too unkind, so tonight they ate the one Xiao Fengfeng had, and next time they ate the one she and Yuan Bingbing got.
Xia Chan first made Yuan Bingbing's rabbit into a simple braised rabbit meat, because Yuan Bingbing brought two lunch boxes, which couldn't be filled if other side dishes were added.
And Xiao Fengfeng's own rabbits and Xiao Fengfeng's rabbits made two pots of white radish stewed rabbit respectively, and each filled a large pot.
As for the remaining rabbits, they were put together to dry and cooked and eaten after the autumn harvest. The rabbits were all about the same size anyway, so they couldn't care about the weight.
Xia Chan's rabbit meat was almost ready, and Xiao Fengfeng came back carrying two buckets of water with great difficulty. This was mainly because Xia Chan's home was too far away from the production team, which was a bit inconvenient. However, the water at home was provided by his brother. They picked it, Xia Chan doesn't need to worry about this matter.
Moreover, the brothers didn’t go out to fetch water, but brought it back when they got off work, so they didn’t have to make an extra trip.
Let Xiao Fengfeng rest for a few minutes, and then everyone sat down to eat. The rabbit meat was stewed very softly, and the white radish absorbed enough of the soup, and it felt like it burst into pulp in the mouth. The taste was very good. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
The three of Xiao Fengfeng, Xiao Tiantian and Yuan Bingbing ate from one pot, and the five of Xia Chan ate from one pot. Xiao Fengfeng was afraid that the five of them would not be enough to eat, so he took two spoons from their pot.
After all, the rabbits were handled by Xia Qi and Xia Chan, so it was appropriate to give them some rabbit meat as payment for their hard work.
After eating and drinking, they left. Yuan Bingbing carried two lunch boxes of braised rabbit meat and knocked on Zhou Ji's door. Soon Zhou Ji came out. Yuan Bingbing handed the lunch box to him, "Your rabbit It’s processed, you two can share it”
"Bingbing, thank you." Zhou Ji took a lunch box from Yuan Bingbing's hand and gave it to his roommate. Then he came out with chopsticks and took Yuan Bingbing to eat braised rabbit meat elsewhere.
Seeing that Zhou Ji was about to pick up rabbit meat to feed herself, Yuan Bingbing hurriedly reached out and covered her mouth, "I'm so full today that I can't even take a bite. You can eat slowly by yourself while I walk around to help you digest your food."
Yuan Bingbing walked around in the open space in front of her as she spoke. Zhou Ji was eating the fragrant braised rabbit meat while looking at Yuan Bingbing's blurry but slender figure in front of him.
He couldn't wait to tell his family that he had a good-looking and outstanding girlfriend, and asked them to arrange the marriage quickly. However, Yuan Bingbing was unwilling to make it public now, and Zhou Ji was afraid that if he made the relationship public on his own initiative, it would make things worse. Yuan Bingbing was angry, so she could only hold back her excited heart.
After Zhou Ji finished eating the braised rabbit meat and Yuan Bingbing was almost done eating, the two went back side by side, and then returned to their respective dormitories.
The next day, the autumn harvest officially begins, with wheat and rice being harvested.
In fact, wheat and rice should be harvested earlier, but this year's drought and lack of rain still have some impact. It has been delayed until this time, but it is not easy to maintain food.
During that time, the strong laborers in the team carried water every day, and all the men's shoulders were worn out. Xia Chan's brothers were not as serious as others because they had plasters on them, but it was a very hard time. .
Autumn harvest is the most important part of the year. Everyone is rushing to harvest food, fearing that sudden rain will destroy the food. But there is no rain this year, so there is no rush. Everyone works at the normal speed, and I usually go home for dinner after work, and finish work normally in the evening.
Xia Chan also drives a tractor in the fields from morning to night to transport grain. He needs to thresh both kinds of grain, especially wheat. The wheat also needs to be crushed with stone rollers. In the past, people led the cattle, but now there are If you have a tractor, tie the stone roller to the back of the tractor and use the tractor to crush it.
After the wheat and rice are threshed, they need to be dried. During the drying, arrange for the elderly or children and some lesbians who cannot do heavy work temporarily to watch and drive away the birds. If there is a change in the weather, the grain must be collected quickly. .
Others continue to harvest other crops, such as autumn corn, sweet potatoes, and late-maturing soybeans...
After working hard for nearly twenty days, the Yongan production team finally finished harvesting all the grain. There were no crops left in the fields. Only the old people and children were left picking things up in the fields, because everything they picked up belonged to them. You don’t have to hand it in if it’s at home, so many people are picking it up.
Especially what happened in the past two years has made everyone aware of the crisis, and they all want to buy more edible things for their families.
Only when you have extra food in your hands can you not panic.
