Chapter 150: Lunar New Year's eve

Chapter 150 New Year’s Eve

 It’s the 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 the snow is quite heavy each time.

 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 mountains, the news between people outside and people inside has been cut off.

The phone line was directly cut due to the heavy wind and snow at the beginning, and there was no one to repair it.

According to the director of the forestry farm, this kind of wind and snow is a common occurrence for them. If the phone line is not working, then it cannot be connected.

 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.

Since there is no strenuous physical labor every day, everyone should eat less if they can, save food, and persist until spring.

Jiang Xiaoxiao’s life is much better than they imagined.

You know, everyone now admires Song Moting's wise decision.

 They raise rabbits in nests, with at least six in each nest 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.

 Looking at each of these rabbits, they weigh at least ten pounds.

They are all children who grew up in the city. This is the first time they have raised such a farmed animal, so no one has 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.

 It will grow into an adult rabbit in less than a month.

 So you see, the male rabbit and the female rabbit are fine and continue to give birth to little rabbits. They are going to catch up with the breeding farm here.

 The nests are scurrying out one after another.

Since they raised rabbits, they really have no shortage of meat to eat. They roast rabbits, stir-fry rabbit cubes, stir-fry rabbit slices, braised rabbit meat every day... Anyway, there are various flavors and tricks.

 For them, it really doesn’t matter whether they can go up the mountain or not.

Eating rabbit meat not only saves food, but also makes educated youths stronger and stronger.

Coupled with Jiang Xiaoxiao and Jia Shu's good craftsmanship, they can cook 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.

　　This hen lays eggs, as everyone knows. One egg a day is like the sky.

The result was good. Their chickens were stronger than other chickens, and they laid an egg in the morning and evening.

Even they were surprised. They didn't expect that the pheasant they caught was a fighter among pheasants!

 Everyone eats a wild egg every day.

 You can imagine how good their food is.

In addition, the pheasants have nothing to do and they have to put some chicks 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. The price is very low. The main purpose is to take care of everyone.

Bai Ying is afraid of developing bad habits, and he can't bear it when he collects too much.

 Everyone is stuck on the mountain.

 They can be regarded as brothers in need.

 Helping each other should be done.

 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 fast 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 a rabbit skin cotton-padded jacket for each of them.

This cotton-padded jacket made of rabbit skin can block 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 about all day long, but this kind of thing happens naturally to them.

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.

In the past month or so, every time Guo Dongjun, the director of the forest farm, came, he would not bother to enter their yard. Instead, he would directly shout 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 could not bear the snow.

Everyone just stayed in the house, studying, working, eating and drinking.

No, let’s discuss it, everyone, 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 for a while and suggested that everyone just eat hot pot.

  There are 13 of them anyway.

 They do have this small clay oven.

 There are many small charcoal basins like this in the forest farm.

But there is no coal for burning here, everyone burns wood.

 Put two pots on the fire.

 When they were assigned to the forest farm, they were given one large pot and two small pots, and these small pots came in handy.

There wasn’t a lot of stuff, but everyone was still happy.

Jiang Xiaoxiao fried the hot pot base directly. Although the seasoning was not complete, he could make do with it here.

There is no butter, but they have chicken fat, rabbit fat, and lard.

 Because people come from all over the world, everyone brings some seasonings of their own taste. Putting these seasonings together allowed Jiang Xiaoxiao to stir-fry the spicy hot pot base.

  The rabbit meat was turned into slices and marinated directly, including the chicken. They were all marinated and ready to be put into the pot. Of course, Jiang Xiaoxiao also made some chicken meatballs, rabbit meatballs and pork meatballs.

 They still have some potatoes and cabbage stored in the cellar.

 Wash it clean, cut it into pieces, put it in a basin and bring it up directly, plus vermicelli and tofu, which are produced by their own workers on the farm.

These things are still available, but tofu has long since turned into frozen tofu. In this weather, it is not easy to eat fresh tofu.

Anyway, Ling Ling Zongzong actually managed to get a table together.

Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't dare to go out and get the cabbage, as well as the cucumbers and tomatoes he grew. Taking these things out doesn’t scare anyone to death.

But she can also store sesame oil and sesame paste in her space.

  She is a foodie herself, and when her mother Fan Xiuying came, she was afraid that she would not be able to eat these things.

 Having brought a lot of big and small bags, it’s a good thing now that they are all put to use.

 After mixing the seasonings, we gathered around the table and started eating, steaming hot.

 Drinking the roasted knife that is unique here on the farm and cannot be found elsewhere.

 This is wine brewed by farm workers themselves. Every year after harvesting grain, the workers will brew some wine themselves.

 No, they can get some wine from the workers.

　　It is not suitable for Bai to ask for wine, so he usually exchanges eggs, rabbits, or pheasants. Of course, they exchange rabbits and pheasants for things, and the workers welcome them.

 Mutual benefit for everyone.
