    With the busy work of Liu Jianguo and his family and the efforts of the construction staff, their large covered greenhouse was finally successfully completed at the end of October.

    The daily temperature here at this time.

    We have entered sub-zero mode.

    "In previous years, before the cold wave came, they would have to wear short-sleeved clothes at noon in late October, so they would have to wear spring and autumn clothes sooner or later, and they were not allowed to exercise extensively.

    Once you move a lot.

    Wearing spring and autumn clothes can be a bit hot.

    However, times have changed now. It¡¯s only the end of October and their daily temperatures are already below freezing.

    Although there was no need to turn on the floor heating or light the fire wall on this day, Liu Jianguo and the others still hurriedly removed the chickens and pigs that originally lived in the temporary pig pens and chicken pens.

    They were all moved to the newly built greenhouse.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? and a multi-layer planting is carried out in the fertile field plant greenhouse, which is to plant some taller crops among the lower crops.

    Crops that require climbing vines.

    In this way, as long as there are enough fill lights and sufficient fertilizers and other supplements, the yield of vegetables per acre can be much higher than that of normal planting, and the overall yield cannot be doubled.

    But there is absolutely no problem with an increase of 30 to 50%.

    These are all preparations for winter.

    By the end of November, the temperature here had basically reached below minus 10 degrees Celsius. By late December, it was the same as the average temperature after the cold wave last year.

    The only difference from last year is that last year, everyone was unprepared. This year, everyone is already prepared. In addition, the temperature did not drop suddenly, but gradually dropped in a cycle. Therefore, the number of casualties this year is higher than that of last year.  It was much less last year, and the overall number of fatalities and injuries was even less than the number of people killed in car accidents during the same period.

    But even so.

    Liu Jianguo and the others had just returned from a large purchase.

    Still looks bad.

    After Qiao Mu put the vegetables in his hands, he immediately asked: "Aren't you going out to buy rice?

    Why do you look so ugly and didn¡¯t buy it?  "

    ¡°Grandma, the price of rice has gone up.

    It turns out that you also know the price of rice in supermarkets. The cheaper rice is sold everywhere for 98 cents per dollar. The slightly more expensive rice is around 2,53 yuan. You can still buy good rice, even during the coldest time last year.  , when many things could not be shipped in, the price of rice only rose to four yuan.

    But now the price of rice has risen to six yuan.

    It¡¯s still the cheapest one.

    The cheapest flour prices are the same.

    There is nothing else that will not increase in price.

    In previous years, glutinous rice flour only cost about four yuan, but this year the price of water-milled glutinous rice has risen to ten yuan, and glutinous rice balls are not less than fifteen yuan a pound.  "

    When Qiao Mu asked, Liu Zhiming was the first to reply.

    The tone was full of worry.

    It's not that they can't afford rice and noodles at this price. What he's really worried about is whether such a sharp increase in the price of rice and noodles, which have maintained stable and low prices for the past few decades, means that there is already a problem with the food supply and the country is no longer able to afford it.  Dare to release a large amount of grain and stabilize grain prices.

    If this is really the case.

    That¡¯s obviously not good news.

    ¡°The price of ordinary rice noodles has increased so much.

    So how much did you buy?  "

    As soon as he heard this answer, Qiao Mu suddenly thought of a lot and asked immediately.

    ¡°We bought five hundred catties of rice and noodles in total.

    Mom, don¡¯t think it¡¯s too little. These five hundred kilograms of rice and noodles are enough for us to eat until next spring. There is still some leftover. No matter how much you buy, it will get moldy. The rice sold now is all highly processed and is not durable at all.  Storage, if it weren¡¯t for the low temperature in winter now, I wouldn¡¯t dare to buy 500 pounds of it.

    As for what happens next.

    Then we can only watch it again.

    The best we can do is to restore the planned supply. If we eat less every day, we probably won¡¯t go hungry. What¡¯s more, our family has such a big greenhouse. If that doesn¡¯t work, we can definitely plant some wheat, rice, or potatoes and sweet potatoes next year.

    But it seems now.

    You are still foresighted. With so many fresh vegetables, chickens and pigs here, even if the price of rice goes up, I don¡¯t feel so panicked.

    There is still something in hand.

    I feel confident!  "

    This time it will be?It was Liu Zhiming who answered.

    Liu Jianguo said in a good mood.

    ¡°Alas, that¡¯s all it can do.

    By the way, don¡¯t waste the space in our greenhouse. Let¡¯s send out more bean sprouts. And just in case, you go out and buy more glutinous rice and chestnut flour tomorrow. I¡¯m going to make some glutinous rice and chestnut flour bricks, that¡¯s it.  Plant bricks of grain that won¡¯t break down after more than ten years, and store them in case of accidents.

    There should also be more feed.  "

    Out of the guidance of not being afraid of 10,000, just afraid of the unexpected, Qiao Mu decided to make a little more preparations, so that even if they were not used, they would not be wasted.

    ¡°Grandma, you can also make glutinous rice bricks!

    That¡¯s good stuff. I¡¯ve only heard other people¡¯s stories about it, but I¡¯ve never seen it real. I¡¯m going to buy glutinous rice tomorrow. Buy more. I read in many biographies that ancient people relied on this to survive during the famine years. I didn¡¯t expect it.  There really is.  "

    As soon as Liu Zhiming heard Qiao Mu¡¯s words, he immediately became energetic, smiling with interest, and at the same time he was vaguely eager to try.

    "What's so difficult about this? In the final analysis, the most important thing about glutinous rice bricks is dryness. As long as they are dry enough, they can be stored for a long enough time. The glutinous rice flour and chestnut flour currently available on the market are not good enough. You have to add more."  Deal with it.

    It¡¯s a pity that chestnuts are now more expensive. In the past, chestnut powder was added mainly because chestnuts were cheap.

    Nowadays, chestnuts are more expensive than glutinous rice flour.

    Then you should buy more glutinous rice flour.

    It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t have chestnut flour.  "

    Qiao Mu really has no shortage of various ancient technologies, so he answered easily at this time and pointed out the key points of the technology easily.

    As long as the stuff is dry enough.

    Then the shelf life will be long enough.

    It¡¯s the same thing as mummies.

    Dry environments and dry materials are not conducive to the growth of bacteria, and the storage time of things will naturally be extended accordingly. The main reason why some glutinous rice bricks develop mold after more than ten years is actually improper storage. If they are really well preserved, there are three reasons.  It won't get moldy for fifty years.

    ¡°Mom, is this really necessary?

    Are you a little too nervous? Or have you recently been fascinated by apocalyptic literature under Zhiming's guidance? I don't think you are.  "

    Having reached this point, Liu Jianguo still feels that his mother and son are a little too nervous.

    It¡¯s to the point of preparing for the end of the world.

    Although the weather is a little colder, it is just the same as in the north in the past. People in the north could survive in the past, but why can't they survive?

    The situation is obviously very stable. Although the price of rice and noodles has risen a bit, it is not unbearable. Why be so nervous? It seems like the sky is falling and there will be no food to eat tomorrow. With so much inventory at home, even if it is just one day,  If they don't buy anything for a year, they will never starve to death.

    ¡°I don¡¯t need your money, so don¡¯t talk nonsense.

    Zhiming, take my card to buy it and use all the money in the card. Anyway, in a few days, the pension and rent should be paid again next month.  "

    " Qiao Mu doesn't care what her son thinks. She can do whatever she wants now. She took out her bank card and gave it to her grandson generously.

    And then this matter was decided.

    ¡° Liu Jianguo and his wife have not made much money this whole year. The little money they made from selling vegetables some time ago is not enough to repay the loan.

    So I really don¡¯t have much confidence in speaking.

    In the end, I had no choice but to acquiesce to the matter, and then I had to help Qiao Mu make glutinous rice and chestnut grain bricks.

    But a week later, the couple had to admire Qiao Mu's foresight again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
