Chapter 150 New Year's Eve
It’s Chinese New Year.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others welcomed their first year at Kenqing Farm in heavy snow.
The snow this year was so heavy that they were trapped on the mountain.
It has snowed five times in succession, and each time the snow is quite heavy.
Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year.
For them, this is the first New Year spent away from home, but it is also a New Year isolated from the rest of the world.
After the heavy snow closed the mountain, the news between people outside and people inside has been cut off.
The phone line was directly cut due to the strong wind and snow at the beginning, and no one could repair it.
According to the director of the forest farm, this kind of wind and snow is a common occurrence for them. If the phone line is not working, it must be unreachable.
As long as you have food and drink, you can survive.
The biggest impact of several consecutive heavy snowstorms is that they have no way to go up the mountain, hunt for prey, and certainly cannot cut firewood.
Fortunately, everyone has made preparations in advance.
The firewood is enough for them to burn until the beginning of spring. According to the words of the farm director Guo Dongjun, as long as the snow melts after the beginning of spring, for them, there will be a lot of firewood in this place.
Anyway, there is no strenuous physical labor every day. We can eat less if we can, save food, and persist until spring.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's life was much better than they imagined.
You know, everyone now admires Song Moting's wise decision.
They raise rabbits in litters, with at least six in each litter and sometimes more than a dozen.
Everyone was surprised when they saw this rabbit. They had never raised animals before, and they didn't know how Jiang Xiaoxiao raised these rabbits. This rabbit basically grew up in a month.
And he grew fat and strong.
At first glance, each of these rabbits weighs at least ten pounds.
They were all children who grew up in the city. This was their first time raising such a farmed animal, so no one had any idea.
No one knows how long it will take for this rabbit to grow up.
Only Jiang Xiaoxiao knew in her heart that the rabbits she raised did grow too fast.
Although this rabbit is not raised in the space, it is good to eat the cabbage and cornmeal from her space. This rabbit grows very fast.
Within a month it grew into an adult rabbit.
So you see, this male rabbit and female rabbit have nothing to do and continue to give birth to rabbits. They are going to catch up with the breeding farm here.
One after another they scurry out.
Since raising rabbits, they really have no shortage of meat to eat. They roast rabbits, stir-fry diced rabbits, stir-fry rabbit slices, braised rabbit meat... Anyway, there are various flavors and tricks.
For them, it really doesn't matter whether they go up the mountain or not.
Eating rabbit meat not only saves food, but also makes the educated youth strong and healthy.
In addition, Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jia Shu are good at cooking rabbit meat in various ways.
Everyone has gained at least ten pounds now.
And it's not just rabbit meat, the chickens raised here can lay two eggs a day.
Everyone knows that this hen lays eggs. One egg a day is the best thing to do.
The result was not good, their chickens were stronger than other chickens, and they laid one egg in the morning and one in the evening.
Even they were surprised. They didn't expect that the pheasant they caught was a fighter among pheasants!
Everyone gets a wild egg every day.
You can imagine how good their food is.
In addition, if the pheasant is fine, some chicks need to be brought out, so they really have to catch up with chicken farms and rabbit farms here.
The surplus rabbit meat and wild eggs are also exchanged for some items or grains with the forest farm employees, and the price is very low. The main purpose is to take care of everyone.
I'm afraid of developing bad habits for nothing, and I won't be able to bear it if I charge too much.
Everyone is stuck on the mountain.
They are brothers in need.
We should help each other.
But everyone’s quality of life has indeed been greatly improved.
Instead, all ten pigs froze to death, mainly because there was no place to raise pigs.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was asleep at that time and had no chance to create a miracle for the pig.
Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jia Shu also used the peeled rabbit skins to make rabbit skin cotton-padded jackets for each of them.
This cotton-padded jacket made of rabbit skin blocks more wind than those military coats.
Of course, the two of them are not good at tanning. Song Moting and He Aiguo took the lead in figuring out this tanning job.
I don’t know what these two are thinking all day long, but this kind of thing happens naturally to others.
Not only rabbit skin cotton-padded jackets, but also rabbit skin mattresses and rabbit quilts. Anyway, they have developed many varieties of rabbit skin.
So their little life was really good.
For more than a month, Guo Dongjun, the director of the forest farm, never bothered to enter their yard every time he came. Instead, he shouted directly outside the yard, telling them that it was time to clear the snow today and that it was time to shovel the snow tomorrow.
Everyone was busy shoveling and clearing the snow. After all, the house in their forest farm couldn't bear the snow.
Everyone just stayed in the room, studying, working, eating and drinking.
No, let's discuss it. Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, and New Year's Eve is the first time they celebrate the New Year outside.
Making dumplings is a bit troublesome.
The main reason is that the tastes are not uniform. There are more than ten people from all over the world. There are people from all over the world. There are southerners and northerners. Southerners eat rice cakes during the Chinese New Year, while northerners eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year. How can they eat this? Go together?
Jiang Xiaoxiao thought about it and suggested that everyone just eat hot pot.
There were 13 of them anyway.
They had this small clay stove.
There were many small charcoal basins like this in the forest farm.
But there was no coal to burn here, everyone burned wood.
Put two pots on the fire.
When they were assigned to the forest farm, they were assigned a big pot and two small pots, and the small pots came in handy.
The food was not rich, but everyone was still in high spirits.
Jiang Xiaoxiao directly fried the hot pot base. Although the seasonings were not very complete, they just made do with it here.
There was no butter, but they had chicken oil, rabbit oil, and lard.
Because people from all over the world brought some seasonings of their own taste, these seasonings were put together, and Jiang Xiaoxiao really fried the base of spicy hot pot.
The rabbit meat was sliced and marinated directly, including the chicken meat, which could be put into the pot directly after being marinated. Of course, Jiang Xiaoxiao also made some chicken meatballs, rabbit meatballs and pork meatballs.
They still have some potatoes and cabbage stored in their cellar.
Wash them, slice them and cut them into pieces, and put them in a bowl directly, and add vermicelli and tofu, which are produced by their own workers on the farm.
These things are still available, but the tofu has long been frozen tofu. In this kind of weather, it is not easy to eat fresh tofu.
Anyway, all these things are put together on the table.
Jiang Xiaoxiao dare not take out the cabbage, as well as the cucumbers and tomatoes she planted. These things are scary to take out.
But she also has sesame oil and sesame paste in her space.
She is a little foodie herself, and when her mother Fan Xiuying came, she was afraid that she would not be able to eat these things.
She brought a lot of big and small bags, and now it is good, all of them are used.
After mixing the seasoning, they started eating around the table, steaming hot.
Drinking the unique Shaodaozi here on the farm, which is not available in other places.
This is the wine brewed by the farm workers themselves. Every year after the grain is harvested, the workers will brew some wine by themselves.
Look, they can exchange some wine from the workers.
It is not appropriate to ask for other people's wine for free, usually they exchange eggs or rabbits, pheasants, of course they exchange rabbits and pheasants, and the workers welcome it.
Everyone is mutually beneficial.
