Sign in to foster husband in the fugitive desert

Chapter 16

[System, sign in. ]

[Ding—Famine No. 20-day sign-in is successful, and the sign-in rewards are: two catties of rice, two sweet corns, and five fudge.Rewards have been put into system space. 】

Complete today's check-in as usual.

Lu Changge took out the sweet corn, broke it into four pieces, put it in a steamer and steamed it with the buns.

Then put five gummies next to the cub's pillow.

Not long after, Xiaotuanzi ran out of the house.

"Daddy! Fudge!" Xiaotuanzi showed his father five fudge in his small hands, blushing with excitement.

"Well, sweets are only for the most obedient children." Lu Changge said casually.

"Tuanzi is the best!"

After breakfast, Lu Changge started making potato vermicelli.

After drying for a day and a night, the potato flour has dried up.

Li Tugen's three children came to Lu's house on time and began to help.

Li Tugen was boiling water in the kitchen, Li Xiaomin was collecting potato flour in the yard, and Li Erniu was washing bamboo strips by the sink for later use.

Everything is ready to start making potato vermicelli.

Lu Changge took a clean wooden basin and poured potato powder and an appropriate amount of water into it.

Stir to form a fluff, then knead into a ball.

After kneading the dough smooth, put it into the pasta machine and start rolling.

The pressed vermicelli falls into boiling hot water.

When the vermicelli is cooked, take it out and put it in cold water immediately.

Take the bamboo strips, hang the vermicelli that has been cold watered once, and then hang them in the sun to dry.

Next, repeat the steps of kneading, pressing, cooking and drying the noodles.

After a few times, Li Tugen and the other three who were watching from the side also understood.

Then re-division.

Li Xiaomin, who is good at making pasta, kneads the noodles.

Lu Changge is in charge of pressing the noodles.

Li Xiaomin's younger brother Li Erniu is in charge of putting firewood to cook the noodles.

Li Tugen is in charge of the last step, hanging powder to dry.

After the division of labor, the work efficiency has improved a lot. In one morning, all the potato flour was made into vermicelli.

Now hang it in the sun to dry.

It can be dried in the sun for two or three days.

After three days, the potato vermicelli was all dried in the sun.

1750 catties of potatoes yielded 240 catties of vermicelli, and about seven catties of potatoes yielded one catty of vermicelli.

Two catties make a bundle, and a total of 120 bundles of potato vermicelli are harvested.

10 bundles go in the kitchen and the rest go in the food storage.

The number 20 who fled the famine signed in for three days, and now there are seven days left before the locust plague begins.

White radish, Chinese cabbage and potatoes are harvested.

Today, there is still one mu of sweet potatoes, half an mu of taro, and one and a half mu of rice left in the field.

Sweet potatoes are only planted in May, and the best harvest time should be in late September or early October.

However, we really have to wait until that time to dig, because the land is dry and cracked due to locust plagues and drought.

And people were short of food at that time.

Maybe Lu Changge didn't need to dig it, other people in the village took the initiative to 'help'.

At that time, the amount of harvest may not be as good as it is now.

In the end, Lu Changge decided to dig up the sweet potatoes now.

However, due to time constraints and the remote location of his sweet potato field.

Lu Changge directly asked Da Teng and Er Teng to dig at night.

So, when he woke up in the morning, what Lu Changge saw was a yard of sweet potatoes.

And the sweet potato vines that block the gates.

Lu Changge: "..."

Because the sweet potatoes are piled up near the gate, now, the gate of his house has been submerged by sweet potato vines.

It just so happened that his wife got up early today.

Therefore, Lu Changge couldn't let Da Teng and Er Teng deal with the scene before his wife woke up.

Looking at the sweet potatoes and sweet potato vines piled up in the yard, Su Qingyun was speechless for a long time.

"...Master, did you dig sweet potatoes in the dark last night?" Su Qingyun was silent for a long time before opening her mouth.

Even if time is tight, it doesn't have to be.

However, Su Qingyun remembered that the husband was lying next to him before he fell asleep.

Is it...

Su Qingyun looked at Lu Changge with both emotion and guilt.

"Sir, thank you for your hard work."

For this family, he paid too much.

Lu Changge: "???"

What the hell is his wife thinking about?

Can't figure it out.jpg

Su Qingyun made up all the plots by herself, without Lu Changge needing to explain.

In the end, Lu Changge remained silent.

At this time, Su Qingyun didn't know that he missed an opportunity to open the door to the new world.

After a hard night? Oto and Erto, who were robbed of the credit by their master: After all, it was a wrong payment...

The sweet potatoes have been dug back, and there is an extra steamed sweet potato for breakfast today.

The sweet potatoes that have only grown for two months are not too big, but they taste good.

After cooking, it is sweet and glutinous, and Xiaotuanzi likes to eat it very much.

However, eating too many sweet potatoes can be a bit embarrassing.

Let off a few loud farts, and cover your face with your little hands shyly.

Because it is dug two months in advance, the output of sweet potatoes will be reduced accordingly.

About 2400 catties of sweet potatoes were harvested from one mu of sweet potato fields.

Taro can be harvested in August.

It’s okay to dig one month in advance, at most the heads are a little smaller.

In the end, 1600 catties of taro were dug out from the half-acre taro field, which is not bad.

After harvesting, the taro is directly put into the food storage without any secondary processing.

Sweet potatoes, like potatoes, use half to make sweet potato vermicelli.

However, sweet potatoes have a better flour yield than potatoes. Six catties of sweet potatoes can produce one catty of vermicelli.

In the end, 1200 catties of sweet potatoes were made into 200 catties of sweet potato vermicelli.

Also make a bundle of two catties, a total of 100 bundles.

Keep five bundles to take to the kitchen and the rest to put in food storage.

After everything has been dealt with, the time has entered the end of June.

The locusts are almost there.

……

June just ended and today is the first day of July.

Lu Changge came back from the field and was walking on the road.

Along with him were a few uncles who had finished watering the fields.

Several villagers walked and chatted, and Lu Changge walked beside him, but did not join them.

Suddenly, Lu Changge reached out and grabbed the air.

The villagers next to him naturally saw his movements, turned their heads and asked curiously: "Lu Orion, what did you catch?"

Lu Changge opened his palm, and a flying insect with wings was caught and killed.

"What sort of insect is this?"

"I don't know, it looks familiar..."

Several others also came over to look at it, and one of them raised his head inadvertently and saw that there was another one on the tree next to him.

"Huh? There is also one on this tree..."

The few villagers couldn't remember what kind of bug it was, so they didn't take it to heart, and continued chatting while carrying wooden barrels home.

Lu Changge threw away the locust in his hand expressionlessly, and separated from them at a corner.

Two days later, I saw one of these bugs by chance from the beginning.

Now there are several flying in the air, and several are parked in each tree.

I don't know who was the first to try it. The children in the village gathered together and roasted the migratory locusts they caught.

Then play the game, whoever loses will eat the cooked worms.

It tasted good afterward.

Nowadays, the children in the village hand several skewers and eat them as they walk.

An old man with a white beard who was enjoying the shade under the big banyan tree inadvertently saw the things in the hands of the children and felt familiar.

Immediately he said, "Dahu, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Grilled bugs are delicious! Third uncle want to eat?"

The child passed a bunch, and the old man called the third uncle saw the appearance of the bug clearly.

The third uncle frowned, "This is not..."

Two days later, a rumor suddenly spread in the village that a plague of locusts was coming.

Later, after questioning, it was reported from the children in the village.

Ask the kids, and they don't know who told them that either.

The second day after the rumors of the locust plague appeared, that is, the sixth day of July.

Lu Changge hired ten strong men and spent a morning harvesting one and a half acres of rice in his family.

Lu Changge stood on the ridge of the field, looking expressionlessly at the dozen or so locusts flying through the air.

And the ten strong men he hired were harvesting rice in full swing.

The locust plague broke out in mid-July, and there are only a few days left.

And now there are more and more locusts that people can see with the naked eye.

The timid ones, seeing that Lu Changge had taken them all, hurriedly dispatched the whole family.

Then, two days later, I watched more and more locusts fly overhead.

The villagers, who were still watching, also hurriedly moved.

……

[System, sign in. ]

[Ding—Successfully sign in on the 39th day of fleeing from famine, and get sign-in rewards: two catties of rice, three sesame seed cakes, and seven small tomatoes.

Sign-in rewards have been placed in the system space. 】

Today is the ninth day of July, and their rice has been drying for almost three days.

Pick up a few and bite, crunchy.

After another three or four days in the sun, it can basically be stored in the warehouse.

However, at this time, the migratory locusts flying in the sky became denser and denser, and it made one's scalp numb.

The yard is covered with straw mats, on which rice is spread to dry.

There are also outside the gate.

Lu Changge and Su Qingyun sat in the main room and watched, while Dahei and Erhei watched outside the door.

Mainly to prevent migratory locusts in the sky from flying down.

However, with Lu Changge around, there is no need to worry about anything.

A mere locust, even with a first-level psychic ability, is not enough to see.

However, for their home to look less unusual.

Lu Changge occasionally missed a few locusts, and then threw wooden blocks to shoot them down.

"Master, there are more and more locusts, let's pick all the vegetables in the vegetable garden tomorrow."

"it is good."

If you pick the greens, you can eat them for a few more days. If you don’t pick them, these bugs will be cheaper.
