Busy Farming in The Last Days

Chapter 71

Views:

Since a few teenagers almost had an accident by the pond last time, the army has taken over that area and strictly controlled it. One side is to prevent that area from becoming a weak zone of the base, and the other side is to increase the production resources of the base.

Ji Cha heard Zhao Tiankuo talk about catching fish, so he went along with him. Ji Cha didn't need to do anything to catch the fish, he just followed to see the excitement.

"We have dealt with some zombie fish before, but they are still not clean, so catching fish is not completely safe," Zhao Tiankuo said to Ji Cha, "But we have caught some safe and edible fish and stored them in another pond Inside, it should be safer."

A total of more than 700 catties of fish were caught in the two nets. Because the fishing net holes are relatively large, all the fish caught are larger adult fish. In this way, there will be a lot of small fry left in the pool, which will also avoid the phenomenon of fishing out of the marsh, laying the foundation for long-term development in the future.

But even if there are more than 700 catties of fish, and they are made into dishes for distribution, each person can actually get less than one tael, which is relatively too simple to count as a Chinese New Year dish.

Ji Cha thought about it, and still wanted to find a way to make the first year of the base better.

Meat, when mass production is not yet available, every piece makes Ji Cha feel very distressed. He stood in the piggery and counted back and forth several times. Counting the adult pigs, there were only ten of them. After the first few months of pregnancy, all seven sows had cubs left. The number of litters produced by a sow in the first litter will be less than that of subsequent litters, so the person in charge of the pig farm told Ji Cha that the sows can produce up to 12 litters in one litter, but the average number of litters in the first litter of seven sows is Only nine piglets were produced, and now there are more than 60 little piglets that are barely a month old.

Although the prospect is very good, but at present, there is still very little meat. Ji Cha counted and counted, and the only thing he could get was a boar. The boar is fully grown and usually eats well. The weight of Jicha is estimated to be about five or six hundred catties.

Such a pig can be made into braised pork and everyone can get a few yuan. It should be pretty good, right

He considered it again and again and told Zhao Tiankuo this proposal.

Zhao Tiankuo was a little surprised, but he was more happy, "That's great!" Then he said, "In addition, the army's intention is to kill two of the sheep recovered last time to make up for it, ram, let's go. Didn’t you say there are too many rams last time?”

Although there are many, it still hurts to kill a few. At this time, Ji Cha has almost become a week's sleeper, thinking about things in the future, and it hurts to eat more right now.

However, what Zhao Tiankuo said was correct. In his consideration, the number of seven rams was indeed too many. From the perspective of breeding, too many rams were not suitable for management in the later stage.

The rams were all adults, and Ji Cha judged their ages, and picked two of the older ones and a boar for the troops to drive away.

Two rams add up to 400 catties, and a boar weighs more than 550 catties. Counting mutton, pork and fish in this way, there are at least three meat dishes in the Chinese New Year menu.

In addition, the first batch of vegetables produced from the field outside can also be served on the table. Before dark, Jicha gathered the workers to pick vegetables such as small greens and Chinese cabbage for the last time before the New Year. Because of the large scale of planting, the thousand catties of vegetables requested by the army were also provided.

Most of the remaining dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner are also provided by the factory. Tofu, bean sprouts, and even soy milk as a drink are not wasted at all, and they are all sent to the cafeteria for final processing.

The New Year's Eve dinner in the evening is completely free, except that the food is allocated by the cafeteria staff, and rice is provided in unlimited quantities. Of course, this kind of benefit is only for the New Year's Eve dinner. Ji Cha heard that the base cafeteria will also provide free porridge the next morning, but he has to prepare the porridge by himself.

In difficult times like these, Chinese New Year is a time of hope. The base also wants to take this opportunity to be inspiring. The new year is not necessarily bright. In fact, the current environment of the base cannot be regarded as completely safe and stable. There are many threats from the outside world, and zombies are only one of them.

City S originally had a population of one million. In addition to the current population of nearly 10,000 in the base, there should be quite a few scattered outside. However, according to conservative estimates, there may be less than 100,000 humans living outside who have not been infected with the zombie virus. Individuals are struggling to survive, and it is very likely that after today, we will not see the sun of the next day.

Leaving aside these heavy factors, the atmosphere in the base today is indeed very high.

From three o'clock in the afternoon, the curtains were drawn in many public places in the base, and comedy movies and TVs were projected. Except for a few areas such as factory canteens that are working, other places have begun to rest before the Chinese New Year.

Crowds of people bring benches or butt pads to find empty seats and sit down to watch TV. The cafeteria not far away has already started to work, tidying up and cooking the dishes assigned to him.

It takes some time for the mutton to be stewed, so it is served in the pot early. The ingredients of the stewed mutton soup are simple. Except for the mutton itself, there are some supporting spices. It takes some time, but the aroma is tangy after stewing.

After the end of the world, who can smell such a fragrance several times, it immediately hooked the gluttons in everyone's stomachs.

"I remember that the announcement said that today's New Year's Eve dinner is free, right? Boy, what is this stew that smells so good? It must be meat!"

"Give me two mouthfuls of soup, and I can eat three big bowls with white rice! No, I'm starving to death now..."

While watching TV, everyone discussed a lot, with joyful smiles on their faces, and felt so comfortable for the first time.

They didn't expect that this was the first wave of fragrance. After the pig was killed, it was divided into two halves and transported to different canteens on both sides. Before, the nose still smelled the aroma, but now it was seeing half a piece of pork being sent in. No one could not swallow their saliva, and they all wished to pounce on the raw meat and bite it twice.

The aroma of braised pork is more attractive, followed by stewed fish with pickled cabbage, spicy tofu, stir-fried bean sprouts, and green vegetables in oyster sauce. There is no shortage of ingredient bases, and even a little too much. Because these seasonings have a shelf life after all, it is a waste if they are not stored.

The three meat and three vegetables may be regarded as disgusting in Chinese New Year before the apocalypse, but after the apocalypse, this is already a feast. When the door of the cafeteria finally opened, people flocked to it, fearing that they would not be able to eat good food.

The staff at the base had already eaten their share in a hurry, or put away their share in advance. Now quickly pour the measured portion of the dinner plate into the bowls and bowls brought by everyone, and then quickly measure the next portion. Calculated from this, dozens of staff will have to make hundreds of copies , can be regarded as tiring work.

But no matter how tired people are, there is no one without a smile on their faces. Who can ask for more in the last days? Food and clothing, and a base, this is already an excellent treatment, which is beyond the reach of countless people outside.

The first year of the apocalypse ended in a relaxed atmosphere at the base, but the second year of the apocalypse was about to begin.
