Chapter 185
The harvest of potatoes in the community vegetable greenhouse was not large, so Director Wu took 20 kilograms and sent them to Mayor Lu.
The remaining 400 kilograms were almost gone as they were all exchanged by the people in the service hall using various connections. After all, this was fresh staple food that had just been unearthed, and it was more delicious than eating instant noodles, hot pot, vermicelli and the like every day.
In the end, Director Wu left 100 kilograms for people in the community to exchange. The exchange price was not low. The demand exceeded the supply, so the price naturally remained high.
Director Wu still gave this community a much lower price.
The Qi family originally planned to exchange a few kilograms to try, and Zhong Tiyun sent five kilograms.
Grandma Pang couldn't refuse, so she took out three bags of braised donkey meat in exchange.
After the potatoes are made into mashed potatoes, cut the chicken in the refrigerator into small cubes, stir-fry it into chicken sauce, pour it on the mashed potatoes, mix it, and it is another way to eat it.
Like the Zhou family, the Qi family is one of the few families in the community that can use solar energy to generate electricity, and they can power their refrigerators, induction cookers, air conditioners and other appliances.
But their family is also very low-key. They use several layers of curtains to cover the room tightly at night so that nothing can be seen from the outside.
Grandma Pang sent two bowls of mashed potatoes with chicken sauce to the Zhou family, which Mu Mu loved very much.
Zhong Tiyun promised Mu Mu that she would learn this dish from Grandma Pang and cook it for him often in the future.
Grandma Pang watched Mu Mu eat with a smile and talked about other things: "Tiyun, I heard that the community is going to build a vegetable greenhouse?"
Zhong Tiyun nodded. "Yes, Director Wu told me about this when he came back from Mayor Lu. I heard that Mayor Lu was not optimistic about the greenhouse farming in our community, but now that it has achieved success, he wants to do it all over the city. Our community only has so much space, and the food grown on the top floor of such a large property is only enough to taste fresh food..."
So, after some discussion, they decided to build vegetable greenhouses in the abandoned buildings near each community, grow staple food and hydroponic vegetables, and assign dedicated personnel to manage them, which would at least make up for the shortage in Liangshan."
Grandma Pang's wise eyes flashed, and she lowered her voice and asked, "So, all the food reserves in J City are gone?"
Zhong Tiyun also answered in a very low voice: "The flood came too suddenly at that time. It is said that the government was divided into two factions, discussing whether to relocate. Then the flood submerged everything. Our granaries must have been flood-proofed, but they were all flooded. Where could we move the grain? After the tsunami, the granaries were destroyed by the tsunami..."
Grandma Pang sighed repeatedly: "It's really not what we wish for. If the granary hadn't been destroyed, people's lives wouldn't have been so difficult!"
"Yeah, who said it wasn't? What a pity."
Grandma Pang then asked again, hesitantly, as if a little embarrassed: "Tiyun, since we are going to build a vegetable greenhouse, we will definitely be short of manpower. If you know any news, can you let me know in advance? I would like to apply for the job."
Zhong Tiyun was very surprised: "Grandma Pang, you are so old, and you also want to grow vegetables in a greenhouse? Does Xiaoyu agree?"
"Why do I need his consent for my affairs?" Grandma Pang couldn't help but complain to Zhong Tiyun: "Tiyun, you don't know, my Xiaoyu has been quiet and taciturn since he was a child. He has become even more so since he came back from the army. I am bored staying at home alone every day. I might as well go out and find a job to do and earn more supplies for the family!"
Zhong Tiyun understood Grandma Pang’s feelings.
The other party had been working before the end of the world and had rarely had a few days off at home. Now she was suddenly asked to rest for half a year. No one could bear it.
