Chapter 244 Don’t you feel it’s a loss to let them suffer?
Shuiqing has always adhered to the concept of "a cunning rabbit has three burrows", and like a hamster, she hoards all kinds of things.
In addition to the storage boxes bought in the mall to store valuables, there are also many warehouses at home.
The inner room of the main house bedroom is filled with valuable things such as small silver, cloth, and accessories;
Above the small room next to the kitchen hangs smoked meat, cured meat, sausage, salted fish and other meats, and on the wooden shelves on the wall are fungus, shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, dried vegetables and fruits and other dried vegetables, and on the ground are baskets of eggs and jars of pickled vegetables.
When it is hot, fresh meat is eaten in one or two days, and when it is cold, it is eaten in three to five days, depending on how long it can be stored.
The yard is close to the large warehouse in front to store a large amount of potatoes.
The three rooms near the west side of the main house, the outermost room is used to store soybeans, red beans, mung beans, black beans, millet, corn and other grains, and the other two rooms are used to store rice and white flour.
Only Shuiqing and Fan Jin have the keys to these three rooms, and only the two of them can enter and exit freely. On weekdays, when there is no rice or noodles in the kitchen, one of them goes to get it.
Whenever Fan Jin comes back from "buying food", the two are responsible for unloading and moving the goods in.
Of course, all this is done so that they can buy food from the mall at any time to add it. Nothing else is important, only food is the most important. After all, when you are hungry, the first thing you think about is to have enough food.
Now only Shuiqing and Fan Jin know how much coarse grains, rice and white flour are left in the warehouse.
After the two entered the warehouse, Fan Jin closed the door and bolted it.
The room suddenly became a little darker, but it did not affect the inspection.
Shui Qing looked at the food and said, "One catty of food per person per day, that's more than 300 catties per year. Hong Daniu's family has the smallest population, so let's give them 1,500 catties per year for three people.
300 catties of rice, 200 catties of flour, 500 catties of corn flour, 200 catties of potatoes, 200 catties of millet, and 100 catties of soybeans. The other families should follow this ratio, okay?"
They opened their own vegetable garden. She went to see it and it was very big. Anyway, there was nothing lacking here except land. As long as people were diligent, there would be vegetables to eat in half a month, and there would be more vegetables to eat in a few months.
It happened that part of the vegetable garden was used to grow potatoes. The harvest at the end of the year would be used to supplement the next year's food. Next year, they would continue to grow two more seasons, and it might be possible to eat rice and flour for one or two years.
Red beans and mung beans need sugar to taste good. They are reluctant to grow bean sprouts as vegetables. Soybeans are the most worthwhile. They can be fried and ground into soybean powder as dry food or ground into pulp to make soy products.
There were originally two stone mill turntables at home, one large and one small. A few days ago, the large one was placed on their side. There are many people on their side and few of them, so the large one is often not used.
In this way, when they grind flour or pulp in the future, they don’t have to move the grain to this yard. They can move it back after grinding, saving time and energy running back and forth.
Fan Jin agreed without any objection: "Okay."
Most people who don’t have oil in their stomachs can eat. They always feel hungry at the beginning. It’s right for Shuiqing to give more grain in the first year.
Shuiqing started to buy grain from the mall.
Fan Jin was responsible for sorting the grain neatly and sorting it out for each household. He waited until the purchase was completed before opening the warehouse door and moving bags to the yard.
The amount of grain for the four households was different, but the least was more than 1,000 kilograms. They could just pull it back with a cart later.
Next to each pile of grain, there was a piece of bacon and five sausages, a large jar of vegetable oil, and a large jar of boiled lard.
There was not much meat, but a lot of oil, because the two found that except for the five women who could not swim, the men could swim and were also good at fishing.
Shanshui Village has many mountains and waters. Shuiqing's family can't swim, let alone catch fish. Before, they could eat fresh fish thanks to Li Huyu. Now that Li Huyu is not here, they still have fish to eat thanks to the more than ten men.
Fish is a meat dish and is very nutritious, but cooking fish requires oil, so a lot of oil was sent.
When Fan Jin notified the four families to come and collect food, all the four families were very happy. They thanked Fan Jin again and again and followed him to the main yard with a cart.
Li Dani watched the head of the family pulling a cart to transport food, and happily told Erni: "During this period of time, you have been eating rice and white flour with your wife. Don't let your mouth become picky. You have to quickly adapt to eating the black flour you used to eat in the future, okay?"
They are two sisters marrying two brothers, which saves the disputes between sisters-in-law.
Li Erni nodded obediently: "Don't worry, sister! I understand it in my heart.
It's good to be able to eat rice and white flour in those days, and you still want to eat it in the future? It's good to be able to eat enough black flour!"
The head of the family came back and said that the people in Baijiazhuang now have to save black flour. They can barely fill their stomachs by cooking a lot of wild vegetables and weeds, and the disaster victims outside don't even have that to eat!
How could she not be satisfied.
The other families are the same, and they are ready to eat black flour.
It's good for the boss to eat fine grains in the front, but they are destined to eat black flour.
After the family starts cooking at noon, it will be good to be able to eat enough black flour every day in the future.
The men who followed Fan Jin to the main house to pull food also thought so.
During the days when they delivered goods, they ate fried noodles made of white flour, which was really delicious!
But in Baijiazhuang, they ate wild vegetables and weeds, with thin soup, no oil and little salt. At that time, they thought it was good to be able to eat enough black flour.
Then he remembered that his employer had potatoes, which tasted better than black flour. It would be even better if his employer gave them potatoes!
Jinniu and Yinniu said that they had dried a batch of potato slices in the summer, soaked them in water, and stewed them. When they were served, they picked up a spoonful of lard. It was so fragrant.
They didn't have lard and didn't dare to think about it, but they had eaten stewed potatoes at the host's house. If they could eat stewed potatoes...
When the men saw the piles of food in the yard and listened to the host's introduction, they were shocked.
"There are rice and flour?" The key is that there are hundreds of kilograms! If they eat sparingly, they will have to eat for two or three years.
No, they have never eaten hundreds of kilograms of rice and flour since they grew up!
"Vegetable oil and lard?" There were still two large jars. Madam said that they had many people, so they might have to eat sparingly. They could have more people in their family, but they only had one gourd of oil, but here there were two large jars.
Madam also said that cooking fish requires oil, and if there is less meat, they can only rely on lard.
But there is a large piece of bacon and a lot of sausages next to the food! Where is the lack of meat?
Lard is even better. In the past, only the village headman’s family had it. Now they can eat it, and even have a big jar of it!
The four men looked at each other, and the thought in their minds was: Do they deserve to eat it?
With so many delicious foods, don’t you feel it’s a loss to give them to eat?
