Chapter 101 [101] After the autumn harvest

In her world, there is no need to pay the autumn grain, because the summer harvest is basically not enough, so the autumn harvest is all your own.

In this life, the same policy is the same, so all efforts in autumn harvest are their own. Perhaps because last year's hunger brought unprecedented impact on everyone, this year everyone has put grain and vegetables in warehouses and cellars, and few people are sold out.

As a small south of southern Henan Province, the winter in Xinshi is not as cold as north of the Yellow River. Even so, everyone is used to storing supplies.

Now, the cellar is full and the various pickled vegetables in the yard are full. Even in winter, I feel that I don’t have to worry about food and drink if I have food.

Compared to last year, I could eat at least rice and steamed buns this winter. Although I still rarely get meat, because farmers have grain and vegetables in their hands and have no chance to sell money, so there is little cash and no money, so there is not much opportunity to buy meat. Their family has grown rice and fish and occasionally get some benefits. In this way, Zhuo Lin is already very satisfied.

The grains are full of rice, pickled fermented black beans with cured fish or pickled fish, then stew it and sprinkle some coriander and chopped green onion. Oh, it’s delicious and tight!

Ah Niang grind the sesame seeds into sauce and made sesame paste and sesame oil.

Peanut oil is stored, and the peanut cake is left to make salty porridge. It is so fragrant!

Soybean grinding, making tofu, or eating raw bean sprouts are all good choices.

Although Zhuo Lin can make tofu, there is a tofu shop next to them. Usually, they exchange their own beans. One pound of beans can produce three pounds of tofu, and they can exchange two pounds of tofu with one pound of beans. They go there early in the morning in winter, and the tofu they bring back is still hot. Even if they are eaten raw without any seasonings, it is very delicious.

Zhuo Lin likes to go to exchange tofu with her brother, but it is not expensive to buy it alone. It costs five cents per pound, which is the level that their family can afford to consume.

In addition to peanut oil, the family also squeezed rapeseed oil, peanut oil, rapeseed oil, and sesame sesame oil. Each one is filled with a large barrel of 50 kilograms. This is the harvest of their hard work all year!

The oil pressing places are all in the township. The oil pressing workshops in the township are state-owned and have electricity, so they only need to pull the raw materials over and wait there. Generally, they can harvest the finished product in more than an hour. Pay a 80 cents per kilogram and bring the oil and oil residue back together, which is very convenient.

Basically, after working for a whole year, the happiest thing is to enter the days after November, because after that, all the work should be done, and every day it is all about eating and sleeping, not to mention how beautiful it is. When my brothers go to school, my father goes to work, my mother takes the brother and sister to pickle vegetables at home and prepare food in the cellar every day. If she feels that she can’t finish any kind of vegetables, she will ask her father to use a cart to pull them to the cafeteria or colleagues to sell them cheaply, which can not only make favors but also make a fortune.

Zhuo Lin felt that life was pretty good, at least there was no turbulent ten years. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment just like in ancient times. The more capable they had, they could eat as much meat as they could, but they were happier than the ancients, because there was no so-called feudal class oppression, how could such a healed rural life not make her love?
