Chapter 167: Selling cabbage

After discussion between the leaders of the commune and the supply and marketing cooperatives, it was decided to let Hantun Village hand over the lint, but the cotton seeds must be uniformly allocated by the commune.

Youyou didn't expect that his unintentional move would make the insect-resistant cotton of later generations be promoted in advance. Fortunately, people's awareness of science and technology is not strong at this time, otherwise this big loophole would have to be discovered by agricultural science institutions. In a few years, who will be able to tell the cause and effect.

In the past, one mu of cotton in the village was 200 catties of seed cotton, and the rest was distributed to the masses to weave cloth to make cotton clothes.

This year, everyone knows that the cotton in Hantun Village is good, and the commune asked the village to pay 300 catties of seed cotton per mu.

My uncle and grandfather also put forward conditions, thinking of the difficulties in promoting ammonia this year, and agreed without hesitation.

The rest of the cotton was distributed to everyone, with 20 catties of lint per capita. Everyone was happy, especially the women, and they were excitedly discussing what cloth to weave next year. Everyone was ready to weave the quilt and the quilt, and they all said that it was time to change the cover.

In the past, cotton was woven to make clothes, but this year's cotton is more, so you have to weave some cloth to make covers. Yoyo thought of the patched bedding of each family, and it was indeed time to change.

Grandma flicked fifty catties of cotton from her family, and decided to change the bedding while she was moving. Some of my own bedding was brought from Kyoto, and some of my uncle and grandmother added it, but it has been many years, and the cotton covers are all boarded, and the hard cover is uncomfortable.

When playing the new cotton, my grandmother also played the cotton cover in the original futon again, ready to make a mattress. "It's all thicker, Xuan Tengteng is spread on the kang, and it is comfortable to sleep. "Grandma said very satisfied.

In the leisurely space, there are futons of various materials. There was no reason before, but this time I took the opportunity to take it out, and the whole family's bed was settled.

The second grandmother's family is the happiest, this year her family's half an acre of self-reserved land has planted cotton, and 300 catties of seed cotton have been harvested. Many families in the village asked her to buy cotton seeds for relatives, and the price was five cents a catty, and the cotton seeds alone could be sold for more than 100 yuan.

The second grandmother played 50 catties of cotton at one time and prepared to weave a coarse cloth by herself. Both of her daughters had to give birth before the year, and they had to prepare mattresses and cotton clothes for the children.

Since playing the flowers, the mother spins cotton threads when she has time, and stays up until more than ten o'clock every night. Gui Ping also began to learn spinning, and the second grandmother came to Youyou's house to borrow two spinning wheels.

"Grandma, this year's cotton velvet is long, the spinning thread is fine, and I see that two catties are enough to weave a hook cloth. Gui Ping just began to learn, and the spinning thread was very even. ”

The second grandmother's life this year is smooth, and her body is strong. spinning a pound of cotton a day, the second master was afraid that she would be tired, and urged her to rest every night. My mother spun thirty catties of cotton in ten days.

On September 26, the team distributed the grass on the embankment of the Yellow River to each family, and each person had a five-meter-wide lawn. The grass on the embankment of the Yellow River is mainly "kudzu", which grows densely and vigorously, with a height of more than a foot. Although it is late autumn, it is still full of life, like a thick green carpet, spread on both sides of the embankment.

People use a sickle to cut off the "kudzu" and spread it out on the spot to dry, the "kudzu" contains less moisture, and it can be dried in two days. Transported home to stack, every family has an extra hay stack, plus a dry alfalfa stack, pigs and sheep have a winter of forage.

Zhang Liugen, the eldest son-in-law of the second master, looked at his two haystacks and said with satisfaction: "I started feeding pigs and sheep, and I was worried about the winter forage. ”

The first day of October in the lunar calendar is also the "Ghost Festival", also known as the "Ghost Open Door Festival". Legend has it that Qingming collects ghosts, and releases ghosts on October 1. From this day on, it is time to go to the grave for three consecutive days.

At this time, most of the work in the field is over, people have free time, and the daughters of the deceased old people generally return to their parents' homes to break the "four olds", but this custom is retained.

In Zhangji's supply and marketing cooperative, grandma not only wholesaled a collar of paper, 100 sheets of straw paper, but also two boxes of soda biscuits. Many elderly women come to the sales point of Yoyo's house to buy gifts from their parents.

Yoyo also learned from this that people now take the weight of gifts. Most people just buy a piece of straw paper and two boxes of soda crackers.

003 yuan a piece of straw paper, half a catty box of soda biscuits, 01 yuan. Add two things together, 039 yuan.

Some people also ask for 010 yuan of fruit candy cubes and put them in their pockets for their children to eat. When I go back to my parents' house in October, I don't need to take white-flour steamed buns, and I go to relatives for four or five cents.

This year, the sixth day of the tenth lunar month begins in winter, and after the first day of October, the team begins to harvest radishes. There are many carrots that were harvested first, and there are many newly opened wastelands on the river beach, and there are also many carrots planted in the team this year. Carrots are much more difficult to plane than sweet potatoes, and you have to remove the tassels on top when you plane them out.

It took two days to get the carrots back. The white radish is much easier, and it is harvested in one morning. When the radishes were distributed to the family, the women began to get busy, picking out the small ones and pickling them, and everyone bought more than a dozen catties of salt.

There are also spicy radish sauce beans, and Grandma Yoyo also drowned the sauce beans left, and flooded a 60-pound jar.

The yellow leaves of the spicy radish leaves are removed, hung under the eaves to dry, and then used for steaming vegetable buns during the New Year. The scattered leaves are also reluctant to throw away, and many people use them to steam steamed buns.

The second grandmother's house has a lot of lard this year, and the mixed bread stuffed with radish leaves with lard is really delicious. Youyou ate the buns sent by Gui Ping, and pestered her grandmother to wrap two pots at home.

50 acres of melon land are planted with cabbage, this year Hantun Village fed more pigs, farmhouse fertilizer is also more, cabbage grows particularly well, each is about 10 catties, the yield per mu is as high as more than 10,000 catties.

The village began to sell cabbage again, cabbage is better than watermelon, after all, this is the main vegetable of people in a winter, that family stores 200,300 catties, and the non-staple food store alone can not supply it.

The cabbage supplied in the non-staple food store was 001 yuan a catty, and everyone grabbed it as soon as it arrived in the morning. In order to buy Chinese cabbage, people line up in front of the store from midnight, and many people can't buy it.

Therefore, the cabbage pulled from the village to the vegetable market in the city is easy to sell for 002 yuan a catty. After all, the demand is large and the price is low, so there are more than a dozen of them.

In order to facilitate people who buy vegetables, Yoyo proposed the idea of home delivery, which was really accepted by the village. Anyway, there are a lot of people in the village, and everyone is looking forward to going to the city to open their eyes.

In fact, it is also very hard in the city, tiring all day during the day, and building a shack by the vegetable stall at night, making do with a night's sleep. Eat a hot meal in the morning and evening, buy a hot bun at noon, and take advantage of the pickles to deal with a meal.

Delivering food to your doorstep is really convenient for city residents, especially the elderly. Moreover, the cabbage in Hantun Village is also long, and it is big and porcelain.

The residents of the city are willing to buy Hantun's cabbage, and the patriotic uncle and the "Gao Gaosan" keep sending it to the city, but they have not been booked before it is delivered.
