Busy Farming In the Last Days - Chapter 88

“I always thought that grandma didn’t know much about it.” Ji Cha put the supper she brought over on the table, watched Liang Jincheng eat, and retelled him the conversation between her grandma and a few old people at the factory.

Liang Jincheng was also quite surprised by this, but he said: “This is actually good. Let’s find a time to talk to Grandma, how about?”

Ji Cha nodded, the result was much better than he had originally predicted.

After being worried for so long, suddenly being able to relax, makes Ji Cha seem a little uncomfortable.

The genius was overwhelmed, and there was already a line at the gate of the base.

At present, the largest and most stable base in the entire southeast coastal area is only the one where Jicha in S City is located. News gradually spreads, and the base also deliberately promotes it, and there is an endless stream of people who have worked so hard to rush over.

There is a group of people who cannot be ignored: orphans.

Regardless of how they came to the base with their help, these orphans, from infants to under twelve years old, accumulate no young and old.

The last days are no better than before. As long as they can make a living on their own, the base will not take care of too much. Basically, children over the age of fifteen have to find a job to survive on their own. Those between the ages of twelve and fifteen will be assigned some lighter collective labor, such as picking things. Food and lodging under the age of twelve are all taken care of by the base.

For a long time at first, no one had the mind to think about other things except to maintain everyone’s livelihood. For example, learning and education, such as medical treatment.

And now the food and clothing in the base has been guaranteed, and safety and so on are gradually on track. After Liang Jincheng formally took office as the top leader of the base through voting at the end of August, things in various plans are faster than when Cheng Feng was in office. Several times the speed began to plan.

The profession of teachers is officially divided, and recruitment and screening are started in advance in the information column.

This makes many intellectuals who can only engage in heavy manual labor at the beginning to be very happy. Their salary is good, and they can return to their own business. There is no shortage of applicants for a while.

Ji Cha’s cousin Zhang Qinqin was originally a preschool teacher and has been helping in the factory since the end of the world. Now that she heard the news, she immediately participated in the registration.

This matter does not belong to the Seasonal Tea Tube, but because the school is located far away from the two canteens, it is necessary to open a school canteen nearby. Seasonal Tea needs to do some preparation and handover of the farm ingredients before going to see it in person A trip.

At present, school education is temporarily divided into four parts, kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, and high school.

Since the news of the opening of the school was announced, many parents with children in the base were very concerned, and many of them went to the information column to ask questions. There are still many things to prepare for the school, so it is tentatively scheduled to open at the end of September. However, early registration has already started, but more than 500 registrations have been accumulated in just two days.

Except for orphans, the remaining families still need to pay for education, except for a small amount that everyone can afford, only the daily food expenses.

From a demographic point of view, the proportion of school-age children in the base is actually very unhealthy, so it needs to be protected.

“It is estimated that there should be about 700 people who need to eat lunch at the school every day. The food should be a little different from the food in the canteen.” The temporary head of the school responsible for communicating with Ji Cha is in the army. Pay attention to a little nutritional supplement, but it is also relative, too special is not good, what does boss Ji think?”

“Well, the difference is necessary. In fact, there are not many dishes on the farm. If it is to be supplied to the two large canteens, it is not enough. It is just right to put them in the school canteen. Look at it on the first day. Depending on the appetite of the students, you can do a little more, and you can send it in more quantitatively later.” Ji Cha said while writing down various data from the school.

Zhang Qinqin met when I was about to go back.

Zhang Qinqin has obtained the qualification to teach in the kindergarten, and has come to help with various arrangements in the past two days. The school is an empty shell, and even the houses are newly built houses of red bricks. It can be said that there is nothing for it. Many of the current equipment in it was collected from a few schools outside during this period of time.

Fortunately, no matter how chaotic the world outside, no one at the school will go back to grab it, and there is nothing to grab. Apart from discovering that some books in the library were burned for heating purposes, there are still a lot of things that can be used. Such as tables, chairs and benches, as well as electronic tools for teaching have also moved back a lot. The arrangement before and after is really the same thing.

“You have been very busy these two days?” Zhang Qinqin smiled, obviously very happy, “I feel like I haven’t experienced the end times since I stayed here for a long time. I really want to return to the state of teaching children. Take Xiao Chao over for class too.”

“I think it’s so good too,” Ji Cha nodded, “but I didn’t expect to be able to make this one so early. I had thought about what I would do if the children stopped going to school.”

Although the end of the world is the end of the world, at least the people in the base are motivated to live. In a promising environment, everyone hopes to be able to rebuild their lives. Education and enlightenment are the kind of fire that continues all hope.

By the end of September, the school was officially opened, and production on the farm entered a new stage.

The production of chickens, ducks and rabbits has entered the process, and the chicken coops, duck coops and rabbit houses have been expanded more than doubled, and they have basically been able to meet related needs. The bulk production of large meat has been slightly slower, but the supply of pork has also been much better than before.

The experience accumulated over the years of breeding and production of livestock is much more vivid than the simple language description in books. As for food crops, it has also achieved rich and diverse production.

The problem of seed degradation that plagued seasonal tea in the past has also been solved by using the variation of crops. Like green vegetables, basically two kinds of variations have appeared in various crops. Positive mutations increase yield or optimize dry mouth, while negative mutations make many plants become aggressive, and some can even cause fatal consequences.

This also makes the farm must always pay attention to the growth and development of each batch of food crops. Fortunately, there is basically no risk of infection as long as the crops that mutate positively, which can be regarded as one of the benefits.

Because of the limitations of the river, the fish fry put in the Season Tea Project have not seen much effect in a few artificially dug ponds, but this is a long-term investment after all, and Season Tea also has the patience to wait.

On the first day of school, in order to supervise the preparation of the canteen and to improve the handover of ingredients, Ji Cha himself went to the canteen on the school side to check various situations.

On the first day of school, many of the students who came to school were still confused. They brought the tableware to the canteen, because the money for the meal was deducted from their home information points, even if the price of the canteen is higher than that of the big canteen. It’s relatively cheaper, but few people are willing to eat meat dishes. This resulted in a lot of meat and vegetables left in the end, and the big dining hall had to be able to digest the dinner, otherwise this hot day would be wasted.

All the food prices in the base are actually customized under the cost line that can maintain the operation of the base. There is still no room to make money, so it is not realistic to say that the price of meat and vegetables should be lowered. Season tea is added overnight. , And simply changed the food in the cafeteria. The whole meat dish is reduced to one dish per day, but many vegetables have a lot of shredded meat in them, and the price is quite moderate. Then, I will go to the cafeteria the next day to see. Sure enough, this kind of synthetic version with vegetables and meat is selling well. .

After observing for a week, the digestibility of the school cafeteria and the hot-selling dishes became clear, and the various supplies on the farm became smoother.

All kinds of matters in the base began to proceed in an orderly manner. I thought it would continue for a period of time. When all ordinary people almost forgot what the outside world was like, S base suddenly received news from the outside base.

Country C itself is so big, even if the end of the world will bring a devastating blow to the population, the existence of the base cannot only be S City. This is everyone’s affirmation.

It’s just that the development of the base outside, whether their intention is to be an enemy or a friend, and what results will be caused are not only concerned by ordinary people, but also by Ji Cha.

He has experienced the last ten years before, knowing that outsiders’ hearts are unpredictable, and in any case can’t treat the other party as a simple character.

The safest way is to use malicious inferences about the other party’s intentions, but you can’t act rashly. Even if the S base is already such a large base, there are hidden worries when facing the outside world.

Of course, the communication between the base and the outside world cannot be completely interrupted. No matter what, human beings are social animals. Although the base has achieved basic self-sufficiency, there are still many vacancies in detail.

For example, although there is no shortage of salt in the base now, there is no well salt here, and the other is not close to the beach. It is inevitable that there will be a shortage when it runs out.
