A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 101 [101] After the autumn harvest

In her world, there is no need to pay the autumn grain, because there is basically not much left in the summer harvest, so the autumn harvest is her own.

In this life, it is the same policy, so all the efforts in the autumn harvest are our own, probably because last year’s hunger had an unprecedented impact on everyone, so this year everyone returns food and vegetables to the warehouse, cellar, and there are few Take it out and sell it.

As a small south of Henan Province, the winter here in Xinshi is not as cold as in the north of the Yellow River. Even so, everyone is used to stockpiling supplies.

No, the cellar is full, and the yard is full of various pickle jars. Even in winter, I feel that I have enough food to eat and drink.

Compared with last year, at least rice and steamed buns can be eaten this winter, although meat is still rarely eaten, because farmers have all grain and vegetables in their hands, and there is no chance to sell them, so they have less cash, no money, and opportunities to buy meat Not much, because their family grows rice flower fish, and occasionally they can get some benefits. In this way, Zhuo Lin is already very satisfied.

Rice with full grains, pickled fermented soybeans and cured fish or pickled fish, then stewed, then sprinkled with coriander and chopped green onion, oh, it's so delicious!

A Niang grinds sesame seeds into sauce and makes sesame paste and sesame oil.

The peanuts are squeezed for oil and stored, and the peanut cakes are saved for cooking salty porridge. It is delicious!

Refining soybeans or making tofu, or eating raw bean sprouts are all good choices.

Although Zhuo Lin can make tofu, there is a tofu shop in the village next door to them. They usually exchange their own beans. They can produce three catties of tofu for one catty of beans. They can exchange two catties of tofu for one catty of beans. I went early in the morning, and the tofu I brought back was still hot. Even if it was eaten raw without any seasoning, it was still very delicious.

Zhuo Lin likes to change tofu with her brother, even if it is bought alone, it is not expensive, five cents a catty, which is the level that their family can afford.

In addition to peanut oil, the family also squeezed rapeseed oil, peanut oil, rapeseed oil, and sesame oil, each of which was packed in a [-]-jin large plastic barrel. This is the harvest of their hard work for a whole year!

The places where the oil is pressed are all in the township. The oil press workshops in the township are state-owned and connected to electricity, so they only need to pull the raw materials and wait there. Usually, the finished product can be harvested in more than an hour. It is very convenient to pay a fee of [-] cents to bring back the oil and oil residue.

Basically, I work for a whole year, and the happiest days are after November, because after that, all the work that should be done is done, and I eat and sleep every day, not to mention how beautiful it is.My brothers go to school, my father goes to work, and my mother takes the two brothers and sisters to pickle vegetables at home and organize the food in the cellar every day. If I feel that I can’t finish any kind of food, I will ask my father to take it to the cafeteria with a shelf cart when he goes to work. Or a colleague sells it cheaply, which can not only catch up with favors, but also make a fortune.

Zhuo Lin felt that life in this life was pretty good, at least in the ten years without turmoil, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, just like in ancient times, eating as much meat as they had no matter how capable they were, but they were happier than the ancients, because there was no so-called feudal class Oppression, such a healing rural life, how can she not love it?
Like the south, Xinshi seldom snows, and it is cold and damp in winter, and there is no kang here, so in winter they have to cover a bed with a thick quilt, and pile a larger quilt on top of it. Then, after going down two floors, you won't feel shivering from the cold.
