Their family has six people, and now there are about 750 kilograms of wheat left.

The average person can consume a total of 1,700 kcal of calories a day, which is equivalent to about 5 taels of rice, about half a pound of meat, and about one pound of vegetables and fruits.

But their family has no meat, only vegetables and wheat, and wheat needs to be ground into flour on a grinder to eat it. If it is calculated based on five taels per person per day, their family is six, Zhuo Jian and Zhuo Lin are one, and half of the eldest son starves to death, they have to count one, and only five people.

Then every day, there are two and a half pounds of wheat. The meat can be replaced by sweet potatoes or potatoes. There are vegetables at home, so it is enough to manage. Zhuo Dajun does not eat at home, eats all three meals at work, and works overtime at ordinary times, so he does not go home at night and will only come back during weekend breaks. His food is deducted from his salary, so he will not care about it for the time being.

Even if the two brothers go to school, they have to go home for dinner. Because it took a few months before, the summer vacation will not take place this semester. After the summer harvest, they went back to class, but they suffered a lot this day.

If this calculation is made, their family needs two kilograms of grain every day, and the amount of vegetables, sweet potatoes and potatoes is also three or four kilograms.

For the time being, this grain can be eaten for autumn harvest, but these are all the minimum standards. It is calculated based on the living standards of later generations. Later generations do not lack oil and fishy food, and eggs and milk supplement nutrition. If you want to eat well and eat enough, you can divide it into four kilograms. Therefore, their family’s life still needs to be improved.

After the summer harvest, my grandmother and uncle went to the town to buy salt and planned to cook winter dishes.

There are many green vegetables in this season. Zhuo Lin thinks that the most suitable winter dish for cooking is dried plums. At first, she thought that the sisters-in-law didn’t know how to cook it because it was not the feature here. Unexpectedly, she just mentioned the dried plums and buckled pork, and the aunt heard it and made fun of her.

"Where did you hear that again, you girl? Are you greedy for meat? When my uncle and your mother prepare these dried plums, I will buy you meat to eat!"

"Can my aunt do it?"

"Yes, my aunt's grandmother is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The special dish they have is dried plums, so my aunt learns it from my mother, and my mother also learns it from my grandmother. Your mother and I will make this dish for you these days."

You can choose any dish for dried plums. You can either be cabbage or various green vegetables grown at home, such as Jinda cabbage, Datouqing, Xuelihong, rapeseed, mustard greens, etc. Place them in the sun and then rinse them in clean water for more than 3 times to drain the water.

Remove the old roots and cut them shortly, cut them for a day and then dry them for a day. After chopping, pour them into the pickling pond in an orderly manner, press on heavy objects to help dehydrate, pickle and dry.

After reading it, Zhuo Lin felt that this method seemed different from what she remembered. In her memory, she first chopped it, added salt, rub it out of water, marinated it, and then squeezed out the water, and the dry it, the better. It shook it and dried it for three days, until it was 70% dry, put it into a utensil and steamed it in a pot, steamed for 30 minutes, spread it out for another two days, steamed it in a pot for 60 minutes, and the more steamed it, the darker it becomes, the more fragrant it becomes. After spreading it out, dry it for two days, steamed it three times, steamed it for 90 minutes, and finally dry it for five days this time, dry it as better.
