Chapter 30:
Before Mr. Lin's small classroom starts, the problem of food and clothing must be solved first.
After waking up in the morning, when the black mist gradually cleared, Lin Ling went out of the courtyard and went to the vegetable field to pick the grown Chinese cabbage home.
There is still no dew on the cabbage, only some black-gray dust remains, and the green meridians on the surface of the leaves can be vaguely seen.
The first batch of Chinese cabbage planted was not much, except for the reserved ones, Lin Ling picked all the rest that could be picked, took them home and washed them, first cooked one into cabbage soup for breakfast, and kept another ten for the next one food for a few days.
The rest of the dozen or so Chinese cabbages are divided into four parts, put in the basket to drain the water, and then put into the large ceramic jar that has been prepared earlier.
The jar used to be pickled by this family. Lin Ling washed the jar and poured it into cold white water. Added spices, Chinese pepper, dried chili, salt, wine, and home-grown **** and garlic, and stirred well. Then add the drained cabbage, and then you can eat sauerkraut after a while.
Seeing this storage method for the first time at the end of Xia, I found it very strange: "Will it be delicious?"
Lin Ling: "It's delicious, slightly sour, and very appetizing. It's suitable for fried meat or stewed fish. I'll make it for you when I have a chance."
The little green on the side slightly raised his head, stewed fish? Is it the younger brother Dahei who wants to stew it?
Little Green arched Linling's wrist: Stewed big black?
Lin Ling looked down at it, "We won't have water to irrigate the ground after stewing it."
Xiaolu let out a disappointment, why not stew it?
Crouching under the eaves of the ugly brother, his erect ears dropped silently, his eyelids moved slightly, and his dark eyes looked towards the direction of the pond. The **** fish should smell good, right?
Xia Mo looked into the jar, "The cabbages are all floating on the water."
"The jar is too big. I'll pull out some radishes and put them in later." Lin Ling still remembers the pickled radishes in the steamed stuffed bun shop at the entrance of the community. To hit twice.
Lin Ling went to the vegetable field to pull out a few white radishes. Because they hadn't grown up yet, the radishes were small, but they were full of water and had a faint fragrance.
Lin Ling didn't think the radish was too small, so he washed everything and divided it into two, and put it directly into the jar, filling most of the jar.
Xiao Lvpa took a peek at the side of the jar: You can continue to pretend.
"There's nothing to put in it." Lin Ling looked at the jar that could still hold a lot of vegetables. After a while, the peppers and cowpeas were ready to be picked, and then put some in to soak.
"Be careful to drop it in and turn it into little green pickle." Lin Ling pulled the little green pickle apart, put the lid on, and added a small amount of water to the side to keep the air out.
After soaking the sauerkraut, Lin Ling washed his hands and went to the potato planting place, preparing to give birth to two rows of potatoes, and after ten days, the rations could be renewed.
On the way there, I passed the rice fields beside the pond. The rice seedlings in the fields were growing lushly, and it seemed that there would be a good harvest in a few months.
Lin Ling squatted on the ridge of the field and looked at the rice seedlings. According to the Agricultural Encyclopedia, one week after planting the rice seedlings, pay attention to timely fertilization and spraying pesticides to kill insects and weeds.
But she didn't have fertilizer on hand, so skip this one.
No pesticides either.
Lin Ling, who had nothing, looked worriedly at the roots of the rice seedlings, but found no bugs, and probably the bugs were also frozen to death.
The little green who followed her gave Gong Linling a hug, and asked her: Do you want to dig them out and eat them?
Lin Ling: "The ears haven't headed yet, so you can't eat them."
Xiaolu glanced at the cabbage and greens in the vegetable garden, and asked puzzled: You pulled the greens yesterday.
Lin Ling explained: "This one is different. This one can't be eaten until it's headed and ripe."
According to the Agricultural Encyclopedia, rice seedlings are divided into seedling stage, tillering stage, heading stage, and fruiting stage. The rice seedlings in this paddy field skipped the seedling stage directly because of Lin Ling's ability, and are now in the tillering stage. After entering the field, the rice seedlings start to grow continuously, which takes one to two months.
After the joints grow and the young ears grow out, it will be just around the corner to eat rice.
Lin Ling arranged a task for Xiaolu: "Help me keep an eye on this rice field every day, and don't let bugs bite you."
Xiaolu was not happy: "Little poor boy has to patrol every day, so I don't need to go."
At the end of Xia, he was always thinking about the rice, so he would walk around the rice field every morning, for fear of being harmed.
"He can't go to the middle of the rice field, you can go." Lin Ling threw Xiaolu into the rice field casually.
Unprepared, Xiaolu hung on the branches and leaves of the rice field, accusing Lin Ling: violent!
Dahei in the pond next to him came out of the water when he heard the movement, looked at his elder brother who was thrown out, and then silently dived into the water to hide, his life was the most important thing.
Lin Ling glanced at the **** fish hiding in the water, "Am I so scary?"
The **** fish that was named popped out two blisters and shook its head.
Lin Ling raised her eyebrows: "Then why are you hiding?"
The **** fish spat water with a grunt: I want to spray water.
Lin Ling pursed her lips and sighed softly. After hanging around with Xiaolu for a few days, Dahei also became slick!
"Then you spray water." Lin Ling scooped up some of the nutrient water sprayed out by Dahei with a bucket and poured it into the rice fields. Four buckets of water per acre of land were enough for the rice seedlings to grow normally and at a constant speed.
After watering, Lin Ling carried the **** to the potato field not far in front. The potato seedlings grew lushly. Looking from a distance, one could see a piece of green. The only downside was that there were many black ash on the leaves.
Xiaolu pointed to the black ash on the leaves: Rinse it with water.
"Rinse after two days of watering." If it's wild grass on the mountain, it's fine, but Lin Ling will try to keep the vegetable leaves and other things planted in the field clean. Food is scarce, and he adheres to the principle of not being wasted. After harvesting the potatoes, she would collect the edible leaves, wash them and cook them as food.
The stems and leaves of potatoes contain solanine, which has certain toxicity. Although the toxicity is reduced after being cooked at high temperature, try not to eat it if it is not necessary. As supernatural beings, Lin Ling and the others have strong physical fitness, so it doesn't matter if they eat some.
If there is enough food for the follow-up, Lin Ling will not worry about the potato leaves, and will directly use the leaves to fertilize.
Xiaolu shook the leaves: It's not good here at all, there's nothing, there's black and ash everywhere.
"What's wrong? I think it's pretty good." Lin Ling is not greedy. She can live here peacefully and sleep peacefully until dawn every day. It is already the happiest thing. Next, she will take another step One step at a time to achieve food and clothing without worrying, the days will get better and better.
Xiaolu really doesn't understand, what's good here? It would rather stay in that place than come here, at least before, she only had it.
Lin Ling looked at the sickly Xiaolu, "What's wrong?"
Xiaolu didn't make a sound, and was wrapped around Lin Ling's wrist and couldn't come out.
Seeing this, Lin Ling rolled up his sleeves and started to work without asking any further questions. He directly gave birth to several rows of potatoes. After the cabbage was finished, these potatoes could also be eaten.
She had finished spawning the potatoes on her side, and plowed up a few rows of wasteland at the end of summer on the other side.
She went over to help with a hoe, smashed the soil, and tried to make the soil as smooth and loose as possible to facilitate subsequent planting.
Both of them spent a lot of abilities, their faces were slightly pale, and they continued to work in the scorching heat, and did not rest until the afternoon when they turned over two acres of wasteland.
When the two walked to the door, they happened to meet Brother Chou who had patrolled the village and came back from the outside. When he came back, he did not forget to pick up a ceramic jar from a corner, and handed it to Lin Ling as if asking for credit: Here it is for you.
Lin Ling was stunned, "Brother ugly, what are you doing with a jar?"
Brother Chou barked at the vegetable garden, meaning that Lin Ling was packing pickles.
Lin Ling: "Why do you make so many pickles?"
Brother Chou didn't say anything, just glanced at the pond not far away from the corner of his eye.
Lin Ling couldn't help laughing, "Hey, are you also thinking about the **** fish?"
Brother Chou shook his head, unwilling to admit it.
Little Green came out, looking eager to try: You can have a try.
Lin Ling glanced at the meat-hungry Xiaolu: "Brothers, peace should be the most important thing, and don't always think about eating each other's meat."
Xiaolu thought of the silly little brother who regarded herself as a big brother, and shook Ye Zi guiltily: Can you taste a piece?
"Half a piece is not enough." Lin Ling poked Xiaolu's leaves: "Do more work and think less about useless things."
Xiaolu hid to the side, unable to eat or even think about it? Hmph, domineering!
Xia Mo glanced at the useless jar, "Do you still want that jar?"
"Yes." Lin Ling opened the jar and took a look. It was empty and there was nothing in it, and it was just right to store rice in the future: "This jar can be kept for later."
"Let's all go into the house. I've been tired all day." Lin Ling went into the house to tidy up and cooked a Chinese cabbage. On the head of Ugly, the furry touch made it feel like he was in a playground, he climbed up and slid down, and slid back and forth many times.
Brother Chou was not angry either, his tail was wagging slightly, revealing a bit of leisure and comfort.
But this comfort didn't last long, because Lin Ling's small evening class started, she cleared her throat, clapped her hands, and attracted the attention of the couple at the end of Xia: "You signed up for Mrs. Lin's small class last night, We're going to start today."
At the end of Xia, Brother Chou and Xiaolu all looked up at Lin Ling, with suspicion and anticipation in their eyes, wondering if it would be fun?
Lin Ling stood up, moved a long wooden bench from the house and placed it in the yard, and then moved three small benches behind the long bench, "You three, go and sit down."
The three at the end of Xia were very puzzled, but they did so anyway. One of them found a bench and sat down, "Sit down."
Lin Ling, who was closing the door of the living room, looked back at the people. After Xia Mo and Brother Chou sat down, they just put their hands and palms on the long bench, while Xiaolu...
Lin Ling looked under the long bench, only to see a small dwarf vine sticking to the small bench, trying to touch the long bench with two leaves.
Two tall and one short, why do you feel a little funny?
Lin Ling endured it, but did not laugh out loud, "Xiao Lu directly stood on it."
Xiaolu glanced at Brother Chou and Xia Mo's movements, and said no stubbornly: I want to put the leaves on the bench too.
Lin Ling raised her delicate eyebrows. She is short and doesn't have any self-knowledge? "Climb up quickly, don't waste everyone's time."
Little Green is not happy: I will put the leaves on the bench.
Lin Ling was speechless, "You have to be able to put it on, right? Do you want to stretch it? If you stretch your body, you can't take it back."
Xiaolu touched her small body, it looked so ugly.
Xia Mo next to him glanced around, then ran to the kitchen and moved out a chair that was lower than the long bench, "Little Green can stand on the back of the chair."
Xiaolu jumped a few times, jumped onto the back of the chair, and then tentatively put the leaves on the long bench, just right: I can do it.
Lin Ling sighed inwardly, then patted the door, "Students, let's start class now!"
