When the temperature rises to thirty-five degrees, adults, let alone children, begin to suffer from heat stroke.
Ye Fu planted some honeysuckle, and everyone brought things to exchange. After taking them back, they started to plant them.
The temperature rises, not only due to exposure to the sun, but also from sweltering heat.
Sweat will still come out in large drops from the pores. Fortunately, there are many plants in the safe area, which has withstood a lot of strong winds and heat waves.
Ye Fu picked a big watermelon and went into the house. She planned to make some shaved ice.
Put a spoonful of crushed ice in a bowl, cut the watermelon into small cubes and spread it on the crushed ice, then add various soaked beans, top with sugar water and condensed milk, and finally garnish with a little mint, and a simple shaved ice is ready
Already.
Ye Fu put it in front of Jiang Run. He admired it for a long time before picking up the spoon and digging a little bit.
"How about it?"
Jiang Run raised his eyebrows and said, "This is my first time eating it. It tastes very special."
Ye Fu chuckled, "If I were to set up a street stall at my level, I could sell this finished product for twenty yuan a bowl."
Ye Fu remembers that when she was in elementary school, shaved ice cost eight yuan a bowl.
"Then I must buy it and try it." Jiang Run couldn't stop after taking one bite. Soon, half the bowl was gone.
"Are you rich?" Ye Fu looked at him funny.
"May I run a tab?"
"If others can't, you can work for me to offset the cost of shaved ice."
Jiang Run pursed his lips and smiled, "I will work hard, Boss Ye."
Ye Fu and Jiang Run ate the remaining watermelon while watching TV. The pace of their lives slowed down completely, almost turning them into two salted fishes.
Ye Fu took out his needle and thread and scissors. The kneaded cowhide was still placed in the space. Ye Fu planned to make the best use of the materials and make a few pairs of shoes.
Jiang Run's feet were very big, and Ye Fu's thirty-seven-sized feet looked very mini in front of his feet.
Ye Fu had never done anything like making shoes before, but wasn't that just like that? You never know how to do it, and you gradually become more proficient at it.
As for the soles, it seems that they can be replaced by tires. There seem to be a few broken tires in the leaf space.
"Are you making shoes for me?"
"Yeah, there aren't many shoes you can wear in my space."
Ye Fu took out the broken tire and threw it to him.
"Draw a few shoe sole templates according to your size. Don't be too impressed. I just want to practice with your shoes first."
Jiang Run sat across from her and began to work seriously.
"You can just order me to do this kind of thing, and I'll do it."
Ye Fu smiled and said, "I can't stand idle. This is not a menial job. Now you are doing all the heavy work inside and outside. I have to contribute as well."
"I'd like to leave you alone."
"I can't stay idle."
The two of them chatted about each other, and Ye Fu cut the cowhide. Fortunately, when she bought needlework, she also bought a curved needle for making shoes.
A layer of soft cloth can be sewn on the inside, and an insole must be provided on the inner sole. Otherwise, if you step on the tire skin, you will not be able to bear it when the temperature is high.
Ye Fu also stocked up on a lot of fabrics, so she could help him get some simple short-sleeved clothes. Now that the weather is getting hot, everyone basically wears short-sleeved clothes when going out.
Ye Fu is an exception. No matter it's hot or cold, she likes to wrap herself up tightly.
It took Ye Fu almost a week to make a pair of shoes.
"I'm telling you, these shoes will last three years."
Jiang Run tried it on and found that the size was just right and very soft. He didn't expect that Ye Fufu's hands were so strong that he could even make shoes.
"How about shoemaker Xiaoye's service to you? Mr. Jiang, can you give me a five-star review?"
Jiang Run smiled and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, who among us is following whom? Well, tomorrow you will herd the sheep and work, and I have to sleep in."
"good."

As the temperature rises, the number of eagles coming to look for food also increases. There are many scarecrows in the safe area, but these brave guys cannot be scared away.
Ye Fu sometimes goes to the building and sees that every household's vegetable garden is full of vegetables and watermelons. In the opened fields, the wheat has turned yellow, and it is time to harvest again.
Wenwen's own small vegetable garden was also in style. When Ye helped her over, she was weeding and watering while reciting poems and studying mathematics.
"Wenwen, what is one hundred plus one hundred?"
Wenwen counted on her fingers first, and then said in a sweet voice, "Two hundred, I'm not a fool, I know both five hundred and five hundred."
Ye Fu touched her braid and said, "It's amazing. Let me see how the watermelons you planted are doing."
Wenwen opened the watermelon leaves and showed her the watermelon hidden underneath.
"Sister Xiaoye, this must be very sweet, I leave it to you."
"Okay, when the time comes, the two of us will take half."
Wenwen nodded, "Okay, I also have this for Sister Xiaoye."
Ye Fu smiled and took out the maltose from the bag.
"I brought you a gift too."
"Is it sugar?"
"Yes, it's newly made, try it quickly."
The two of them sat on the haystack, and Wenwen told her gossip while eating sweets.
"Yesterday, the uncle and aunt next door had a quarrel, and the aunt downstairs. Her clothes to dry were blown away by the wind. She cursed for a day, saying that someone stole the clothes. Later, everyone found that her clothes had blown into the grass behind.
"
Ye Fu laughed.
"Sister Xiaoye, my lamb has given birth. I have five sheep now. My father is very busy, so I can only herd the sheep by myself."
Officer Song is very busy. He has opened up a large field to grow corn and wheat. He also has to cut firewood, cook, wash clothes, and teach Wenwen to read and write.
"Then when you go to herd sheep in the future, you can come to me and I will go with you."
Wenwen immediately became happy when she heard this, "Okay, I really like Sister Xiaoye."
"I also like Wenwen the most. I will take you to play outside later."
There are city walls and barbed wire outside the safety zone, and all kinds of pheasants and snakes are hung on them every day. Just walk around and you will get something.
Wenwen ate the candy, and Ye Fu took her around. As soon as she came to the outside, she saw a pheasant hanging on it. Ye Fu asked Wenwen to get it. Wenwen was very strong and courageous, jumping around
He ran over and pulled the pheasant down directly.
"Sister Xiaoye, look what that is?"
Ye Fu looked up and saw that the pine trees were covered with pine cones, and the bean sprouts were still squatting on the top, falling and flying around beside them.
These two guys haven't gone home for several days, and they didn't expect to hide here and eat pine cones.
"Wenwen, those are pine cones. I'll go up and pick two for you."
Climbing a tree was a piece of cake for Ye Fu. After three clicks, five divided by two, she reached the tree.
After breaking off two pine cones and throwing them down, Ye Fu looked outside.
The wind and sand were so strong that I couldn't see anything clearly, but the grass on the outside also grew taller, and the saplings also grew into small trees.
A three-kilometer radius outside the safety zone has become an oasis.
"Sister Xiaoye, can I eat pine cones?"
"Okay, you can get the fruit out by burning it with fire. Come on, I'll take you to burn the pine cones."
