Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

"There are also people having a picnic over there. I can smell the aroma of barbecued meat. It has a very special smell, and I don't know what it is."

Ye Fu took out the ingredients from the space and put them on the table beside him, "I saw those people catching mice just now, it should be rat meat."

"Rat meat? No wonder it smells so good."

"There are a lot of wild vegetables in the meadow. These are dandelions and bracken. Around Qingming Festival is the season when bracken grows wildly. It's the right time for us to have a picnic today. Ye Fu, bring me a small hoe and I'll dig it up." Wild vegetables."

Ye Fu leaned over to take a look, and it was really bracken. She took out three small hoes from the space and handed them to Qi Yuan. Qi Yuan took the hoes and went straight to dig dandelions with Xuxu and An An.

"The scenery is really nice, Jiang Rong, I'll take a picture for you." Ye Fu took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and took a picture of Jiang Rong.

At 06:30, the sun was setting, and the smell of barbecue permeated the camp. Ye Fu took Jiang Rong and sat in front of the tent. There were plates of grilled mutton and venison on the table. On the grass in the distance, Qi Yuan stood up and waved his hand, then came back with the two children in a bamboo basket.

"This area is full of wild vegetables, and they are growing very well. Today is really a bumper harvest. The wild vegetables sold in the supermarket are not as good as I dug."

Ye Fu took the bamboo basket and said, "You can blow it. Look at these bracken, it's a waste to pinch them so short. The bracken can be pinched longer and dried in the sun. It can be preserved for several years. It can also be used as cold dishes and stewed pork ribs." , but there is a slight poison in the bracken, so it needs to be blanched to remove the poison, it is best to boil it with plant ash, not only to remove the poison, but also to remove the bitterness."

"Can bracken be transplanted into the space?"

Ye Fu was speechless, "We don't lack food, what are we going to do all this effort?"

"Anyway, it's a dish, and I can change it occasionally." Qi Yuan still has something to say, he doesn't even want to eat barbecue now, he just wants to dig wild vegetables.

"Then you dig, and when you get back, try to see if you can grow a living."

Qi Yuan really went on digging wild vegetables with a hoe, Xuxu and An An were not far behind, they hurried to catch up.

"This man is really restless."

"Qi Yuan and these two children are a little bit, let them toss."

"Uncle Wan, Brother Song, enough is enough. You guys rest for a while and roast it later." Ye Fu took out the tea that he had made in the morning and boiled a pot. Because it is new tea, the taste is not very strong, but it has a faint fragrance .

"This tea is really good. It really tastes better than new tea." Fang Wei picked up the teacup and took a sip, and handed a cup to Fu Jiao beside him.

"The weather is really nice recently. If I remember correctly, it hasn't rained since I came to Yuezhou." Fang Ming looked at Cheng Lin, "Brother Cheng, is there enough water in the lake at the base?"

"There is enough water. The base has sent some professionals into the water to detect it. Water will emerge from the bottom of the lake, and the water is inexhaustible."

"That's good. Water shortage is terrible. There are so many people in the base and so much agricultural land."

"The base has stabilized in all aspects. I haven't been very busy recently. Next month, in a few days, people from the central base will come to borrow food. There are many of them, even if half of them go to the Central Plains , There are still more than 1000 million people who have come to the eastern grasslands, and I am still considering how much food to lend to them this time.”

"Have they opened up wasteland?" Ye Fu asked.

"It's open. It's next to Jiang Province. There's a lot of agricultural wasteland. It can be reclaimed and planted."

"Then let them borrow wheat and cassava. Although it's against the season, it's not impossible to grow them."

"I think so too, and I'm worried that planting this season will waste food." Cheng Lin picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"In any case, food must be lent to them, otherwise how would these 1000 million people live."

"There are a lot of wild vegetables in this season, and mushrooms can be picked soon, and it will be fine after a few months."

Not far away, a child joined Qi Yuan and the others. The grass next to it was shaking. Jiang Rong picked up a bamboo stick and threw it directly. With two "squeaks", a mouse died immediately.

Ye Fu brought the mouse out, and the bamboo stick pierced through the gray mouse's body. Ye Fu had seen such a big mouse in Lancheng before, those mice ate dead human flesh, and they grew extra fat.

This gray mouse is also big, and it doesn't know what to eat to grow up.

"Jiang Rong, how did you do it? A bamboo stick can kill a mouse?" Fang Ming stepped forward and pushed Jiang Rong's palm away. These hands were no different from his, but they were more slender and fairer, with rosy palms. It doesn't look like a rough man's hand at all.

Jiang Rong is not a rough guy either.

"There is no difference, do you have internal strength?"

Jiang Rong pushed him away in disgust, "Don't move."

"You're so stingy." Fang Ming deliberately patted Jiang Rong on the shoulder before running away. Jiang Rong was too lazy to argue with him, and turned his head to talk to Ye Fu in a low voice.

The sky was getting dark gradually, Ye Fu was already full, several fireflies suddenly appeared on the grass, and then more and more, more and more.

After seven o'clock, the wind on the grassland became colder, and the picnickers in the surrounding area had already gone back. Every half an hour, military patrol vehicles passed by from a distance.

Ye Fu took out a few camping lights from the space, the lights were dim, and the sound of insects chirped up and down.

In the distance, Qi Yuan came back with Xuxu and An An carrying a bamboo basket. They hadn't eaten at night and were crying hungry. Wan Tao got up and cooked them grilled fish and rabbits.

"How much did you dig?"

Qi Yuan took a sip of tea, "It's estimated to be more than 100 catties, and there are too many wild vegetables. Just now, I met some children who insisted on digging wild vegetables for me, and pulled out the roots of the wild vegetables."

"What about the rest?"

"Over there, give me a sack later, and I'll pick it up, I don't believe it, bracken and dandelions can't grow in the black soil of the space."

Cheng Lin had already fallen asleep on the recliner, Fang Ming took out a deck of cards, called Tang Yizheng, Wu Pei and Shen Li, and the four of them started playing cards beside them.

Luo Yang seemed to like today's new tea very much. Seeing that he had already drank several cups, Qi Yuan reminded him not to drink too much, as he would easily suffer from insomnia at night. Luo Yang smiled indifferently.

"I never lose sleep."

"Luo Yang sleeps five hours a day. If he had insomnia, he would have died suddenly." Shen Li couldn't help but said.

"I think Luo Yang is in good spirits, but being a leader is hard work. If it were me, I would have been exhausted. No wonder the leaders I watched on TV didn't have much hair. They seemed to be too worried."

As soon as Qi Yuan said this, Ye Fu couldn't help laughing.

"Where did I go wrong?" Qi Yuan was at a loss.

Ye Fu covered his stomach and laughed, "Did you forget? When you were in Heguang City, you lost your hair and asked me to dispense medicine. If you didn't mention your hair loss, I didn't think it was funny. Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan, why do you always like to pick yourself up?" What about the black history?"

Qi Yuan's face turned dark instantly.

I went to visit yesterday and came back a bit late
