Busy Farming In the Last Days

At the beginning, Ji Cha's plan to buy bean grinders was limited to making tofu at home. The quantity was not large and the scale was not large, so he bought three machines in total. Originally, I had prepared one to use two, but now I have been making beans on a large scale, only to find that the three machines will be enough when they are started together.

Not long after dawn the next morning, Ji Cha first got up and checked the beans made last night, and then hurried to the recruiting place after having breakfast at home. There were already recruited soldiers and early citizens preparing to make arrangements for today. Work plan for the day.

Ji Cha went over to say hello, and the recruiting soldier handed him a small notebook, "I have given you three places, and you will be reimbursed for the previous wages."

This is much more generous than Ji Cha expected. He nodded, "Okay, when the time comes, I will contact you and transport it over, so that I can catch up with the noon meal."

Ji Cha took a small notebook and stood in front of the people and examined them carefully. Although it was not easy to select people, he had a suitable candidate early in his mind.

The young woman who built the wall with him yesterday is also there, the child on her back is still asleep, her head tilted to one side and her face is white. There is also an elderly woman in her sixties, and an elderly man about the same age.

When the three of them were called out from the team by Ji Cha, the soldiers stood up and walked in front of them. "Report him his name and ID number." He pointed to Ji Cha, "Just follow him in a while. "

Although they didn't know what they were going to do, the three of them immediately walked to Ji Cha after hearing the words, and looked at him somewhat restrained. Yesterday the young woman recognized Ji Cha, so she dared to talk to him, "Where are we going?"

Ji Cha wrote down their identity information in the notebook, and said, "Go to work, my work is lighter, and I can rest when I am not busy. The wages are the same as those of the people outside of them." ."

The three of them walked to the door of the factory with Ji Cha in their doubts. This is not the first time they have seen this building. They originally wondered who could live in it. At this moment, they were surprised when they were brought into the house by Ji Cha, "This is where you live?"

Not to blame for their reaction, after all, Ji Cha looked mediocre, and there was nothing to do with it.

"Well," Ji Cha brought this topic over at random. He led the three of them to the factory where the machines were already roaring and assigned tasks to them. "Today you are mainly responsible for making tofu. My grandmother will follow the process. I tell you."

The young woman's name is Sun Xiaofang, a native of S City. She and her husband originally ran a small supermarket in the city. She lived a peaceful life. Who would have thought that the end of the world would strike almost overnight, subverting their original peaceful life. The chaos struck, and her husband was also infected while fighting with the zombies. She couldn't keep the things in the small supermarket alone, so she could only protect the children and follow the army to the outskirts of the city.

Sun Xiaofang's child is less than one year old, and it is when he will cry. Now living in a small farmhouse allocated by the army, not only is he tired every day for food rations, but also can't sleep in fear at night, not only afraid of zombies, but also other people.

If it wasn't for the canned food that Ji Cha gave her yesterday, she might not have the energy to work today.

The three people who came to Ji's tea are all in desperate need of a job and lack of physical strength. After entering the factory to learn about the work, the three of them immediately understood why Ji Cha had asked them to come, and their gratitude could only be moved to work.

But no amount of work in the factory is as tiring as work outside.

After the bean dregs are prepared, they are put into the iron pot on the earthen stove to cook in turns. The filtered bean dregs are filled with several large barrels. It was time to rest, and the three of them did not dare to rest much in the rest of the time. The work here is much simpler and lighter than moving bricks outside, and I'm afraid they won't let them come tomorrow if they can't do it well.

The child on Sun Xiaofang's back woke up twice, the first time he was held aside by Sun Xiaofang, and then slowly fell asleep, but when he woke up for the second time, it was not so good. She was crying and kicking her feet, her face flushed.

Sun Xiaofang couldn't help but raised his hand and hit the child's **** twice, "Cry, let you cry again!"

Grandma saw her and quickly pulled her, "Hey, what do you know about such a big child, why do you beat him? Isn't it your heartache if you break him?" She said, holding the child in her hand, turning her head and shouting into the door, "Qinqin, You come out and hug this child in first!"

Zhang Qinqin is a kindergarten teacher and is very experienced in this. She hugged the child and said to the worried Sun Xiaofang, "Don't worry, I will coax him to sleep, and wait for you to leave at night before taking it over."

Sun Xiaofang nodded gratefully, "Trouble you."

They make tofu, while Ji Cha and Wang Qinxue are opening up other free land. It is a good thing to be able to cooperate with the military to use all the land outside, but we still have to open up this place step by step.

The potatoes and sweet potatoes planted in early September have already grown long seedlings, green and neatly rejuvenated. The weather in City S in early October was not very cold, and it was just right to wait until November to keep the greenhouse warm.

The rest of the land is ready to be planted with fast-maturing and common plants before the season for planting staple foods, which can not only open up the army, but also open up the market in the S city base.

Now everyone is still struggling, but it won’t take long before the base wall is completed. After the base is formally formed, the interior will continue to be ordered and re-socialized. Many industries that have lost their functions will sooner or later return to their original positions. Although primitive, it is also one of the driving forces of operation.

Ji Cha has worked on the farm, and he knows that if there is effective management, everyone can eat fresh food is a completely achievable goal.

With the passage of time, the moisture in the tofu is gradually pressed out, and the tofu continues to form piece by piece. The tofu season tea to be sent to the army was not cut. It was only put on the cart with wooden boards and transported to a small contact point of the army in small three-wheelers at a time of about 100 catties, where they would then be transported by themselves.

Plates of fresh tofu exudes a hot temperature, white and tender, and very eye-catching. The people working around are watching Ji Cha closely, but they are afraid of the soldiers with guns around him and dare not step forward.

Three carts of tofu were sent out in the morning, and all the dishes for lunch in the army were made for less than three hundred catties. The fresh tofu is sprinkled with chili and braised. There is no need for other meaty dishes, and it is easy to add more rice to the white rice.

It’s just that there are so many people in the army. Three hundred catties are enough for one person and two mouthfuls in the afternoon. The people in the cooking class don’t know how many catties have been ordered by Jicha and the other soldiers. The place came to ask Ji Cha.

"In the afternoon, according to the plan, seven hundred catties will be paid out, and the day after tomorrow there will be three hundred catties of bean sprouts to be cooked."

The fire-head soldier craned his neck to look at the production scene behind Ji Cha, and then listened to the number reported by Ji Cha, and waved his hand quickly, "It won't work, you do too little. Tofu is two thousand catties a day, and bean sprouts are said to be less every day. It’s a thousand catties, or if you eat some of them and others don’t have to eat them, they will all come to me. Who am I going to go to?"

Ji Cha secretly rejoiced that if he followed this practice, he would not have to worry about the feed for raising livestock at all for the profit from the beans every day.

But the process is still the same. Ji Cha can't be the master, nor can the fire fighters be the master.

"I have followed the above instructions here. The quantity you said is not impossible to make, but I don't have the materials."

The fire-head soldier thought for a while, "You wait, I'll go back and make a report, and I have to get this thing done tonight!" He took two steps and looked back, "By the way, the green vegetables came out of you too, right?"

Ji Cha nodded, and saw the fire-head soldier said, "It's OK, you wait, it's not difficult."

The leaders above have not eaten any fresh dishes for many days. This is tofu and greens. They have pried their mouths open. The fire fighters went up to report, and during the day several small officers had already complained slightly. The leader above then settled the matter with a big hand.

One thousand catties of tofu is changed to two thousand catties a day, and 300 catties of bean sprouts are also changed to one thousand catties a day. The tofu was told one day in advance how much to make, the bean sprouts were four days in advance, the ingredients were all from the army, and the number of additional helpers for Jicha changed from three to six.

Sun Xiaofang and the three were busy until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and finally got all the tofu delivered to the entrance of the factory.

It happened that people from the army also came to deliver the beans for the next day, and Ji Cha asked them to take the tofu back by the way. Sun Xiaofang and the three helped unload a large truck of beans and moved them into the half-open warehouse set aside by Season Tea on the side of the factory, and piled it up and down half full.

"Did you eat tofu today," Ji Cha and the reconciling soldier chatted, "How does it taste?"

The soldier had been familiar with him twice, and laughed, "After eating, I took a bite. Damn, I got it by snatching it, but it tastes good."

"Of course," Ji Chadao, "I am hand-made without chemical raw materials. Unlike the tofu sold in their supermarket, it has a strange smell. The afternoon is four hundred catties more tofu than at noon. You might be able to go early in the afternoon. Eat one more spoonful."

"Hey, okay," the soldier smiled. "You are amazing, you can make such a thing," he said and took out a small notebook from his arms. The one who came to receive the food distributed every day, "Hey, take this, Zhao Tiankuo asked me to bring it for you. Today you can open three with the authority and six tomorrow. I said hello to the food delivery person. You can pick it up in a while."

Ji Cha looked down, and there was a small note on the pay slip, indicating where the salary was paid. The words "tofu factory" are written in his notebook.

As soon as the soldier left, he turned around and saw Sun Xiaofang and the three standing behind him. The few of them are actually a bit cramped. They rested at four o'clock. In addition, the whole day of work today is not very tiring. Will this pay stub be opened for only two meals?

If this is the case, they might as well move bricks tomorrow.

Ji Cha took out a pen from his arms, leaned the salary book against the wall, wrote the names of the three on three pieces of paper, and did not hesitate to tick 100% in the degree of completion, and finally signed it. His name was torn down and handed to them.

"Tomorrow will be a little earlier than today. Don't go to the recruiting place. Just come over and someone will open the door for you. When you come, do the same as today. I have to go to the recruiting place to recruit a few people."

Unexpectedly, the work is easy, even the pay slip is more generous than the outside! The three of them were frail and old. They didn't get 100% completion when they moved the bricks yesterday, but they didn't expect to receive the highest wages in Jicha today. Hearing that he wants them to come over tomorrow, I couldn't help but feel even more delighted.

It's not over yet. Before they left, Ji Cha gave each person a small bag of okara. Fresh okara not only has high nutritional value, but also tastes great if cooked properly.

The army also has an agreement with Ji Cha on the disposal of the bean dregs. Ji Cha can leave three-tenths of the bean dregs, which he can use as he pleases. The remaining bean dregs army is taken back and processed into bean dregs cakes and the like, which is also a good dry food.

Three-tenths of the bean dregs in a thousand catties of tofu is enough for two meals for ten pigs of Season Tea. Not to mention the two thousand catties of tofu in the next day, the ten pigs in the family will not be able to eat them when mixed with other feeds.

Chicken's food intake is very limited compared to pigs, and there is still a lot of bean dregs left when the season tea is full. It's a pity that rabbits don't eat okara, so he has to get feed for them.

Speaking of poultry and livestock, I have to mention that two hens started laying eggs two days ago. Ji Cha didn't carefully observe whether the hens and roosters had mated, but at first he was going to hatch the eggs.

He had prepared the small hatching room long ago, and he would transfer the hens into the nest as soon as they started brooding.

The other is the rabbit. Last time the female rabbit came into estrus early, and the male rabbit had no signs. These days, the male rabbit finally began to show sexual maturity. Because season tea is more delicately fed, I hope that the rabbits can produce more.

This is all new and fresh meat!
