Rebirth in the End Times Bringing the Whole Village to Farm

Chapter 155 153. Salt
While everyone was busy, the crops in the field ushered in a new harvest. Fortunately, this time before the severe drought, and with the addition of poultry manure as fertilizer, the potatoes and sweet potatoes that everyone planted had a bumper harvest.

In order to make it easier to store, everyone has left enough seeds, and everything else has been dried.As a result, the workload increased virtually, and everyone became busy.

The village is also discussing whether to go out, but if they don't go out, the necessities in the village will gradually become unavailable.

It is worth mentioning that since the village dug the long trench in the back mountain, it is not known whether it is because the weather is too hot, the snakes in the back mountain are hiding under the trench.At first, everyone saw the densely packed snakes at the bottom of the pit, and their scalps were numb. This is almost catching up with the legendary Ten Thousand Snakes Cave.

Later, the wild animals on the mountain did not know whether they wanted to find food in the village, or were attracted by the snakes at the bottom of the pit. Gradually, everyone found that occasionally prey fell directly into the pit, and they found that they could be hooked early. If you come out, if you find it later, you will be directly poisoned or wounded to death by the snake.

At first, everyone didn't pay much attention to this, until one day, a family of wild boars fell into the bottom of the pit, and the villagers saw that they were still alive and kicking, and they were still struggling to figure out how to get them out.But later it was discovered that they actually started to eat snakes inside, and these snakes actually started to avoid them when they encountered them, which made everyone feel very strange.

Since they can eat snakes, people don't want to get them out, and simply let them fend for themselves inside.Since they moved in, the snakes at the bottom of the pit have gradually decreased, and the wild boars at the bottom of the pit have gradually become bigger and fatter. This place has become a natural pig farm. Everyone decided to treat the wild boars in the pit as a village. common property.

Now that we are going to go out, we need to prepare some supplies. In addition to the preparations of each family, the village is also preparing to catch two big wild boars to make bacon, and then take them out together.

Everything that can be exchanged for purchase has been discussed, but where to go?What can be replaced, everyone has no idea.

"The most urgent thing we need now is salt and rapeseeds. Do you think there is any place nearby that has these?" The village head gathered everyone in the square again on this day and asked everyone to give their ideas.

"Rapeseeds are available in the town next door. Before the catastrophe, we went there to watch the rapeseed flowers. At that time, they had hundreds of acres of rapeseed fields, which were beautiful." Chen Baoguo liked them when he was free. Driving around in the car, he still knows the surrounding area very well.

"As for the salt, I heard Zhixin say once before that the army originally stored a lot of edible salt, but due to the earthquake and the movement of the earth's crust, the salt is now buried underground, and they can't find it now, so There is no way to guarantee the demand for salt in our neighborhood, so we can only find a way to solve it.” The second grandfather regrets this batch of edible salt more than anyone else, and according to his son’s description, the quantity is enough for the people in the neighborhood to use for decades Yes, it's all in vain now.

"Then we have to go to the seaside to look for it. Didn't we say that there was a big earthquake and tsunami in the coastal area? Now even if we look for it, we can't find any salt. We won't be able to dry the salt by ourselves."

"Even if you can go to the seaside to dry salt, you would not dare to eat the salt. After such a big earthquake, there are not many harmful substances in the sea. Don't even think about getting salt from the sea in the past few years."

"Then what should I do? People can't help but eat salt, I should have known that I stored dozens of tons of it at that time."

"So many people knew it earlier, so let's think of a way quickly, even if we go to the next door to save it, we still have to go, otherwise how can we live without salt."

"Actually, it's not impossible. Besides sea salt, isn't there mineral salt and well salt? There is well salt in the neighboring province S, but the journey is too far away, and it may take a lot of time to get there, and there will be many unknown things along the way." Dangerous." From the beginning when everyone said they wanted to find salt, Yunqi had searched books in advance and found the distribution of mineral salt, which really allowed her to find the nearest well salt, but with the current situation, the time to go back and forth But there will be more.

"No matter how far you are, you have to go there. Even if everyone is not in urgent need, there will always be a day when you run out of salt."

"Yeah, fortunately, I brought back a batch from the county, otherwise there would be no more by now."

"If there are any other gangs, let's pay them, and have another gangster, how enjoyable it will be!" Sun Shaolei fell into fantasy.

"I just think about these crooked ways." The cousin Sun Shaofeng who was standing next to him patted him on the head directly.

"If this is the case, each family will have to send another strong laborer to go out, and once the return date is not fixed, won't the safety of the village be guaranteed?" Lu Jiafu first thought of the safety of the village.

"You don't have to worry about this. If you travel at that time, you must contact a few nearby villages. They will definitely need salt. When you all set off, let Zhixin and the others guard the road in the county. If every village is ready to close the village, then nothing will happen.” The village has already considered these issues before, otherwise it would not dare to let so many people go out to find salt.

"Since everyone is going to leave, make preparations in the next few days. When the time comes, notify several nearby villages to discuss the date of travel, and then everyone will act together. But while you are still at home these few days, hurry up and get the land. Check to see if we can plant some more drought-tolerant grains, and life will definitely not be easy in the future, so let’s plant some.” The third grandpa said earnestly to everyone that according to historical records, droughts often It has been several years in a row. If you don't prepare well, you will be very passive by then.

In the days that followed, everyone was discussing how to go and who would go?
The opportunity to go out this time is relatively rare. In order to carry back more salt, each family wants two people to follow.But in this way, there will be some old people and children left in the village.

Seeing that everyone was arguing about this issue all day long, Sicheng thought of the situation when everyone entered the mountain back tea seeds together, so he simply gave Second Grandpa and the others an idea, so that each family can send a man and a woman, but there is one The prerequisite is to be able to keep up with physical strength.In this way, part of the strength of the village can be preserved, and as much salt can be carried back as much as possible.

This method has been approved by many people, and has spread to several nearby villages. In this way, every household is matched according to this standard, and the team becomes stronger virtually.

But then the question arises, with so many people traveling, should they take care of their own, or choose a leader?
