Chapter 342 Are there any other good self-defense items in the mall?
Hearing her father say that it takes several kilograms to produce one kilogram of powder, Shuiqing thought that hers was still very different from wild kudzu root.
Most wild kudzu roots are firewood kudzu root, and one kilogram of powder can be produced from one hundred kilograms. She grows powder kudzu root, and four kilograms can produce one kilogram of powder.
Fortunately, she grows powder kudzu root, and the most important thing is that the powder yield is high and it can fill the stomach!
Hearing her mother talking about making soup, Shuiqing smiled and continued: "Kudzu root powder can not only be used to make soup, but also has a nourishing effect, and it is more nutritious."
Hearing that it has a nourishing effect, Hu's mother smiled.
Old people care most about what to eat to nourish their bodies and be good for health.
"No wonder it can be sold for 18 cents a kilogram, it's really good, my father, we are really blessed with a daughter!"
Hu's father grinned, sweeter than eating candy.
In the past, they had only one daughter, and there was no movement for a long time. There were many people in the town who mocked and laughed at them. Unexpectedly, after the flood, those people who laughed at them were nowhere to be found. He and his mother really enjoyed the blessing of a daughter.
After the flood, you don't have to live in a house washed by feces and floods, nor do you have to live in fear. You don't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Isn't this a blessing?
Thinking of the war, he put away his smile and said to his family: "This kudzu powder is good for the body, it can fill the stomach and it tastes good. Let's dig more and store it starting tomorrow. We don't know when this war will end, and we don't know what will happen in the future, so we have to prepare more food."
"Yes, there are many of us, so we must store enough food!" Hu's mother hurriedly agreed.
She is old and suffered from hunger when she was a child. She attaches great importance to food.
"Dad and Mom, don't worry too much about food. We have several thousand kilograms of food stored in our warehouse. Even if our family eats ten kilograms of food a day, it's only more than three thousand kilograms a year. The warehouse alone is enough to last for several years;
But as for food, no matter how much, it's never too much. Feng Da and the other dozen men are now mainly using it to make kudzu powder every day. You can also go and help." Shui Qing was afraid that her parents would worry too much about food, so she half-truthfully revealed the truth.
It's impossible to store several years of food in the warehouse - if that were the case, wouldn't they have to eat the stored food in the next few years, especially since Shanshui Village is in the south, not as dry as the north, and the storage conditions are not very good.
But there is still enough storage for more than a year. There are a lot of charcoal in the corners to absorb moisture, and a new batch of charcoal will be replaced from time to time to keep it dry, so the food inside is very well preserved.
Every time Fan Jin came back from the city, he would bring back some food, no matter how much, as long as there was new food, she would take the opportunity to report the maximum weight that could be brought back, so that she could take out more food later.
The others in the room breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that there was enough food for several years.
Yan Qiu comforted his brothers and sisters: "Dad always brings back a lot of food when he goes to the city. If we calculate, there are indeed several thousand kilograms. If we add other food, we can eat for several years."
"When the potatoes can be harvested at the end of the year, the winter wheat can also be harvested in April and May next year. Even if we can't go to the capital or there is no food to buy later, we are not afraid. At most, we can plant food in the fields later!" Fan Jiang said loudly.
He likes farming, especially food. It feels great to cultivate the land, sow seeds, fertilize, weed and finally harvest.
There is a reward for hard work, unlike reading and learning to read, he always tries hard to read, but can remember very little.
Those articles are even more difficult for him to understand. Compared with his younger brother, he is really not a material for studying, but he is diligent and willing to work hard. Even if he can't take the imperial examination, he can read and do arithmetic, and he is diligent in taking care of the fields, so he can support his family in the future!
"I'll plant more vegetables, and when spring comes, I'll dig some wild vegetables every day to supplement my diet."
"Raise lots of rabbits!"
"And chickens, ducks, and geese, there are enough eggs."
"The piglets and lambs have all been sold, but it's okay, there are still a lot in front."
......
Not only the elderly will worry about food, but the children will also worry about whether there is enough food.
The whole family is planning how to distribute food when the war breaks out, and they stock up as much food as possible.
Shuiqing and Fan Jin are probably the ones who are most assured about food.
There is a shopping mall, so there is no need to worry about staple food. If it doesn't work, there are potatoes. The high-yield potatoes can feed more than a dozen people in Shanshui Village!
There is no shortage of vegetables. They have a large vegetable garden. There are many mountains and lands, and there are also many wild vegetables, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots, which are enough to supplement chlorophyll.
There are fewer meat varieties, but the quantity is more than enough for them.
There are currently more than a dozen pigs and dozens of sheep;
There are countless fat rabbits, and they will give birth to a litter every few days, one litter after another. Anyway, rabbit meat is free.
The old hens have always been kept at around 100, and the ducks and geese are 50 each. These three can collect about 150 eggs every day.
Chicken eggs and goose eggs are used for frying or steaming, and duck eggs are used for preserved eggs and salted eggs. There are more than ten people in their family, and eggs are free as they can be!
And opening a herbal medicine shop to manage a lunch meal will greatly consume a part of the stock of eggs, so that the eggs are often replaced and kept fresh.
Feng Dahong Mancang and his friends don’t need to worry about food for the time being.
Shuiqing is very glad that they were given enough food for a year right from the start.
The four families of them have reclaimed a large vegetable plot, and each family has planted a lot of potatoes. Now there is kudzu powder, and there are fields and shopping malls to fill up from time to time, so there is no need to worry too much about staple food.
Each of them also raised chickens, ducks and geese, so there was no shortage of eggs.
Fan Jin was most worried about safety.
After returning to the main house and closing the door, Fan Jin asked in a low voice: "Shuiqing, do you have any self-defense weapons in the mall?"
Shuiqing was puzzled: "The village and Feng Da have big knives, we have big knives and electric batons, is there anything better than this?"
The village got more than a dozen in the last batch, which is not a small number at present. Basically, everyone here has one, especially since they think that the children may not be able to use knives, so they are equipped with electric batons!
Although the food and clothes in the mall are very cheap, the electric batons are really expensive!
But some of them are very good. She has money in the mall now, and wants to buy some more powerful ones, but the mall doesn't sell them. They belong to the series that you can't buy even if you have money.
"The electric baton is very good, but I am worried about Yan Qiu and the others. After all, they are young. Wouldn't it be dangerous if they don't aim? I think it would be better to have something that doesn't require accuracy and can make the opponent lose mobility. It would be better to be at a distance, otherwise it would be dangerous if they are too close." Fan Jin's voice became softer as he spoke, and his fair cheeks turned slightly red. He felt that he was forcing others to do something difficult.
It's difficult to force a business place.
How can there be such a useful thing?
