MTL - The State Arranged For Me To Farm-Chapter 12
After the pine trees were planted, the leeks in the grass grew very tender green under the water of the pond, and they were very suitable for cutting to make dumplings.
Recently, a lot of trees have been planted, and a task has been completed. Lin Ling felt that it was time to celebrate. He went back to the house and scooped up half a bowl of wheat flour to knead the dough. After kneading the dough, he woke up for a while, then took it out and added some Knead the wheat flour again, and then start rolling out the dumpling wrappers.
Lin Ling first divided the dough into small balls, then kneaded them and began to press them with a rolling pin, but her skill was average, and the thickness of the dumpling skins rolled out was not even at all, and the shape was not round enough.
After all the dumpling wrappers were rolled out, she took a small bowl and put it upside down on the dumpling wrappers, and cut out a standard round dumpling wrapper.
After making the dumpling wrappers, Lin Ling started to make the fillings. First, he took out half a bowl of fried meat fillings, chopped them, then added chopped leeks, added some salt and stirred them, and then began to make dumplings clumsily. I made twenty-five dumpling wrappers. The shape is not pretty, but it doesn't prevent it from being a dumpling!
When the dumplings were cooked, it was already dark. Lin Ling extravagantly lit a candle. The candle was dimly lit, dimly illuminating the figures of several family members.
Lin Ling was sitting on the other side of the dining table, while Little Bear was sitting quietly on the other side of the dining table, and Little Green was sitting on Little Bear's head, shaking the leaves above his head boredly.
Lin Ling looked at the steaming dumplings, blew on them gently, and then ate them in small bites.
Xiaolu shook the leaves and asked: delicious?
"Delicious." Lin Ling nodded. There was no dipping sauce, and the dough was not soft enough, but she felt that this was the most delicious food she had eaten since the end of the world. Before the apocalypse, dumplings were a common food, but after the apocalypse, dumplings became a scarce commodity, and only the bigwigs in the safe zone could eat them. Now that she can eat such a meal, she is considered complete...
Xiaolu has no interest in pasta, but being one with Lin Ling, she can also feel the unrest in her heart. She lightly touched Lin Ling's wrist with a leaf to comfort her: there will be more in the future.
Lin Ling looked at the rare and gentle little green with a little surprise, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, now that the apocalypse is over, and she has also ended her wandering life, as long as she continues to farm, sooner or later she will be able to turn the wasteland into an oasis, and sooner or later she will be able to eat delicious rice rice and dumplings.
After eating the dumplings, Lin Ling slumped on the chair contentedly, thinking about what to do next.
There is not much left in the country's rations, and then we have to quickly reclaim some land, and plant a batch of potatoes after the potatoes can be harvested.
Trees have been planted in several surrounding hills, and now there are still places on the other side of the village and further away, and we can plant them after we find tree seeds and saplings. But it's far away, and carrying water to irrigate the fields is a big trouble, so she has to go out and find a generator as soon as possible.
Because the plan was to go on a long trip in the next few days, Lin Ling ripened a few potatoes in advance. The potatoes were of a good variety and they were very big, weighing nearly a catty each.
Considering that he had to stay outside for a few nights, Lin Ling boiled ten large potatoes and took five raw potatoes. If he couldn't come back in time, he could plant potatoes on the spot.
The night before going out, Lin Ling watered the potatoes and vegetables in the field and the saplings on the mountain again to ensure that they would not lack water.
The next morning, at dawn, Lin Ling was ready to set off with her backpack on her back. Before she set off, she greeted the little bear doll who never responded to her as usual: "I'm going out for a few days this time, you Take care of your home at home."
After finishing speaking, Lin Ling locked the doors and windows and set off to the north. After walking for an hour, he arrived at the boundary marker marking No. 00001 land. After walking ten minutes from the boundary marker, he arrived at the asphalt road, along the asphalt road Walking all the way outside, she walked for four hours and arrived at the place where she got off the car.
The surroundings are still bare, and the abandoned and charred vehicles on the road are still there, without any change.
Lin Ling continued to walk along the road. When it was dark, he found an abandoned house to rest. When it was dawn, he continued to walk. The burnt marks became less and less, and some places even saw a little green grass.
Could it be that she misunderstood and came to expel those who were lurking in danger? Didn't they set the fire on fire?
But now it doesn't matter why it was burned to barren hills. She has replanted saplings, and after a year or two, the mountains and plains will return to green.
Lin Ling walked for three days and finally arrived at the city that he passed by.
The city is desolate and lonely, overgrown with weeds, and the ground is in a mess. It is not at all obvious that this was once a provincial capital. Standing on the street, Lin Ling may only see thousands of abandoned vehicles in the middle of the road and a few tall buildings that have not collapsed in the distance It shows a bit of its former prosperity.
Lin Ling sighed softly, and walked through the streets looking for what she needed.
Her purpose this time is very clear, she only looks for generators and diesel, and if she has time, she will take a look at the others.
Lin Ling quickly found a store that sold generator equipment, but the generators in the sales hall were all emptied.
"There's not one left?" Lin Ling frowned, and went to the back warehouse to look for it. They were all emptied. It seems that there are still many people who have the same idea as her.
Xiaolu arched Linling's wrist: what if there is no more?
"Keep looking." Lin Ling couldn't believe that she couldn't find a generator in such a big city. She searched for a long time, from morning to afternoon, and finally found one in the warehouse of a store selling underwear. Generator, next to the generator there is a barrel of unused diesel.
After finding the generator, Lin Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. She struggled to move the generator onto the small flatbed trailer she picked up on the way, and then conveniently packed a box of underwear and moved it away together.
Next, you only need to go to the hardware store to get some wires and water pipes. Lin Ling found three water pumps in the village, two old ones and one new one. can be used.
After arriving at the hardware store, Lin Ling took as many coils of wires as possible and some water pipes. If the water in the pond was not enough to irrigate the ground, he could go to the reservoir to pump water. Although the water in the reservoir was black and smelly, it Does not affect watering.
After installing the wires and water pipes on the cart, Lin Ling found some tools such as wrenches and screwdrivers, which made it easier to go back and install them. In addition, she found some old-fashioned flashlights and old-fashioned flashlights with batteries in the warehouse of the hardware store. Before the end of the world, few people used it, and basically turned into a more convenient rechargeable flashlight.
"I don't know if it can still be used." Lin Ling found a few unopened batteries in the hardware store and put them into the flashlight. After turning on the light, a beam of warm light instantly illuminated the dark warehouse, "It works!"
After Lin Ling saw that the flashlight could be used, she began to search for unopened batteries on a large scale, and soon found a lot. Before the end of the world, batteries were basically used in places other than children's toys and remote controls. There will be fewer people using these things in the future, so basically no one will take the battery.
This made Lin Ling, who had picked up a leak, very happy, and having a flashlight would be more convenient at night.
The purpose of coming this time has been achieved, Lin Ling is not as anxious as in the morning, and the speed has slowed down a lot, walking along the street to various shops, searching for some daily necessities along the way.
Although this city is very big, it has been searched over and over for a long time. Originally, Lin Ling wanted to find the generator and then go back, but he came all the time, so he couldn't make a trip in vain and search for more. See if you can find what you need.
She doesn't go to the supermarkets and shopping malls on the side of the road. From the dark red blood on the wall, it can be seen how many unknown people are buried inside, and the supplies inside have been removed by the survivors, so Lin Ling doesn't go. Let's join in the fun, walk in small streets and alleys, and pick out some small shops without signboards to search for things. According to her experience, such humble small shops may still have leftover supplies.
Lin Ling was lucky, and found generators and diesel from some shops, but her flatbed cart could only hold one, so she could only take some diesel.
At this time, it would be good to have a car or a space system ability.
But I can only think about it, Lin Ling pushed the flatbed cart and continued to move forward, and soon found an old street that had not been renovated. Most of the buildings on the old street were frequently destroyed by natural/natural/disasters after the end of the world /Hali has collapsed, leaving only some buildings with relatively sound foundations.
There are still many buildings left behind, and she searched for them one by one. She found yeast powder from the corner of the humble bun shop, and also took two stainless steel steamers, which can be used when the wheat is planted in the future. .
After taking the steamer, Lin Ling continued to walk forward, and found unopened yeast powder from several noodle places. She didn't think it was too much, anyway, she would need it in the future.
Next, I found a shoe shop, which had rain boots, cloth shoes, and low-quality sports shoes. Because the low-quality sneakers were not robbed, Lin Ling found a few pairs of sizes that she could wear and brought them back.
In addition, she found a national brand store selling skin care products nearby. She touched her slightly dehydrated skin, found a few boxes of unopened water cream from the cabinet, and took them back to try to see if they could be used.
After walking along this street for a few hundred meters, Lin Ling found another farmers' market. The roof of the farmers' market collapsed obliquely, and the sight of the farmers' market was full of devastation.
Lin Ling sighed, and searched in the shop that hadn't completely collapsed, and found some seasonings, as well as some dried ginger, garlic, and peppercorns. These things have not been fried, so you can take them back and try to see if they can be planted. If you can, it solves some seed problems again.
After coming out of the farmer's market, it was almost dark, and the surroundings were dead, only the sound of her pulling the flatbed cart.
"Now find a place to live." Lin Ling dragged the flatbed cart and walked forward.
Sitting on Lin Ling's shoulder, Xiaolu pointed at the uncollapsed shop next to her with the leaves.
"Go to the front." Lin Ling didn't intend to treat herself badly, and dragged the flatbed trailer to an abandoned hotel in front.
Lin Ling stopped suddenly when she was approaching the entrance of a hotel. She frowned and glanced at the corner in front of her. There was a fire, and there were faint voices.
