Rebirth after the 1950s

"Oh, you can still do this. This is a good method," the fourth brother said

"Actually, the most important thing is that when neighbors asked us what we were eating, we all told us how miserable we were. For example, we ate sweet potato noodles with boiled vegetables, vegetable pancakes with pickles, etc. Said, but there is one thing you must pay attention to, that is, during the holidays, you can say whatever you eat, otherwise everyone will be suspicious. This way you, the little ones, will have a hard time. After school in the afternoon, you can’t Just for fun, you have to dig wild vegetables when they are available, otherwise people won’t believe it when the time comes,” said the eldest brother

"Don't worry, brother, we know this," we said

"By the way, brother, I heard that there are many mountains near the military area. What will we do if we catch prey? We can't just take it back and cook it directly." I asked again

"This is also a thing, think about it" said the elder brother

"You can take it back and dry it," Sister Nan Nan said.

"No, the house in the military area is small. As soon as you open the door, you will find meat hanging at the door of the kitchen. When the time comes

Everyone must be watching when your family eats meat. "The elder brother denied this method and said

"Then bake it outside and let it cool before taking it back," said the third brother.

"The method is a good one, but when the time comes there will be too many prey, so we definitely can't eat them all in one or two meals." The eldest brother said with disapproval.

"You can let mom or master take it and put it here," said the fourth brother.

"How can Mom and Aunt Zhou have so much time?" said the eldest brother

Clean it up and remove the blood."

"I think, what Sister Nan, Third Brother and Fourth Brother said can be combined." He saw me next to him and said quickly.

"Mianmian, please tell me carefully," the elder brother said

"It's like this. When we kill a lot of prey, we can roast the ones we want to eat outside, and take the rest back. After processing, we can marinate them outside and wait until the next day to let mom or someone else Aunt Zhou left early in the morning and left it here to dry or make bacon. Then when big brother is on vacation or when mother and Aunt Zhou are resting, she will bring us over. When the weather is hot, she will take it home slowly. Eat it. In winter, just make it into sauce and eat it.”

"This is a wonderful idea," said the eldest brother

"This is a good idea," Sister Nannan said

"Okay, okay" said the third brother

"It's great. This way you can eat meat whenever you want, and no one else will worry about it," said the fourth brother.

"Hahaha" we all laughed when we heard this

Looking at the time, it was still early, and then looking at this courtyard. Everyone was a little reluctant to leave the courtyard where they had practiced for two years. Suddenly, I thought that this time next year, "a natural disaster will come in three years", so I quickly said: "Brother, from now on this We don’t need the open space in the yard anymore, why don’t we reclaim it to grow food?”

"But, at this time of year, it's never too late to plant sweet potatoes," Sister Nan Nan said

"We can grow potatoes. The potato growing season is short, and the temperature has been just right until October recently," said the eldest brother. After experiencing hunger, he went to check out agricultural knowledge.

"That's OK," Sister Nannan said

"Then let's get started." The third brother said. He didn't want to starve himself. When the time came, the eldest brother and the second sister would produce food for themselves for their own sake.

"Come on," said the fourth brother. He also knew the importance of food, so he never resisted doing such tiring work.

In this way, under the leadership of our eldest brother, we cleared out all the open space in the yard, leaving only a path to walk on.Seeing that everything was cleaned up, I quickly went to the kitchen and took out the remaining half of the basket of potatoes. In fact, I used the seeds in the space to replace some of them.You have to ask me why I did this. Isn’t it because the potato yield is low at this time?The yield per mu is only 300 kilograms, but there is no way to compare with the sweet potato brothers.

The eldest brother looked at the potatoes in the basket and said: "Now we can only grow potatoes. Although the yield is low, no matter what, it can be an extra dish in winter, or it can be steamed and eaten directly."

"Who says it's not the case? The yield of sweet potatoes is still high, but if you eat too much, you will get heartburn," said Sister Nan.

"That's better than being hungry," said the third brother

"As long as you can eat enough," the fourth brother said

"Okay, okay, let's see how these potatoes are grown." I quickly changed the topic and asked

"This is simple. I've seen it in a book. Cut the potatoes into pieces along the buds. After cutting, add the plant ash and stir it. Nannan, you and Mianmian cut the potatoes. Third brother and fourth brother, you two and me. Let’s tidy up the ditch together.”

"Yes"

In this way, we planted the potatoes in the ground before dark. When we were planting, the eldest brother was still there and said: "We will all plant sweet potatoes after the harvest next summer."

"Brother, why don't you plant in the spring? Then we can still plant a crop of potatoes, and the harvest will be more than planting wheat." I thought that we would start next year, and we would mainly plant high-yielding crops, so I quickly said

"Yes, brother, Mianmian is right," Sister Nan thought for a while and said

"Mianmian is indeed right. The yield of sweet potatoes per acre is four to five thousand kilograms. If we don't have an acre of land in our yard, it would be eight or nine points. If we calculate according to this calculation, the sweet potato yield in one season will be more than four thousand kilograms. Then. Including a crop of potatoes, it costs [-] kilograms. If wheat is grown, the yield per mu is only [-] kilograms, so there is still a gap." said the eldest brother.

After listening to the elder brother's words, the others thought about it and it was indeed true.

"Brother, how about planting some pumpkins in the corner?" I said to the side.

"It's not okay. We don't live here, so we're not afraid of someone stealing it." The third brother said before the eldest brother could say anything.

"What should we do?" said the fourth brother.

"It's not impossible, we don't plant them in the south corner, we plant them on the north wall, and let them grow towards the roof when the time comes," said the eldest brother

"That's not bad," Sister Nan Nan said

In this way, we arranged the open space in the yard clearly.

"Brother, what about the yard where we live? Is there any vacant space left?" I thought that after moving, the vacant space in the yard at home would not be idle, so I said

"Let's win sweet potatoes too. It will fight the drought. By then we won't be living anywhere. Usually, my mother and master will go there to take a rest at noon. If we are planting vegetables, we have to water them from time to time. The gain outweighs the loss. It is better to plant sweet potatoes to save the trouble." , and sweet potato leaves are also edible. When the time comes, we will find a time on Sunday to come over and blanch the sweet potato leaves, dry them into dried vegetables, and wait for the steamed buns to be eaten in the winter," said the eldest brother

"This is delicious," said the fourth brother.

On the way back, I was thinking, if this happens, next year I will also plant sweet potatoes in my space, and I can sneak them in.Not to mention the food in space, just the sweet potatoes harvested from the martial arts training ground. If you save some, it will be enough for two families to eat for a year.Besides, living in a military area, there is also a canteen. You can go to the canteen to eat at noon. There is plenty of food.
