Chapter 432: Busy Storage

After the wheat is harvested, the wheat in the market is only 0.30 yuan per catty, and no one buys it, and the turnover in the market is very small.

This year's wheat harvest is bumper, and every family can't eat enough wheat. Most of the people who buy wheat are workers with many children at home.

This year is the first year of the household contract system, and people have the habit of storing grain. If there is food at home, there is no panic in the heart, unless there is an emergency, and there is very little food to sell.

At present, it is still a planned economy, with a monopoly on grain, and individuals are allowed to buy and sell grain in the bazaar, but individuals are prohibited from trafficking grain in large quantities over long distances, which is also the main reason for the low price of grain.

Taking advantage of the low price, Hantun Village began to buy a large amount of wheat, and hundreds of outsiders in the village basically had lunch in the house every day.

Nowadays, people eat a large amount of food, each person eats at least three steamed buns, and eats more than five. A pound of flour is steamed with five steamed buns, and only 8 taels of flour are ground per catty of wheat, which is converted into one catty of wheat per person.

The people in the village and the workers in the other villages all exchanged wheat for steamed buns. For the foreign population alone, a hundred catties of wheat a day is not enough. The spare grain left in the village is simply not enough for a year.

Since wheat is cheap now, and there are warehouses in the village, Hantun collects wheat in nearby villages, which also provides convenience for the people in the vicinity to sell grain.

After the wheat harvest, the most prosperous business turned out to be the sale of grain jars and hoards. Many people's wheat is stored in cloth bags.

But the sack is not separated from the rats, and when they are bitten into a hole, the wheat is scattered on the ground. It is okay to temporarily store it in a cloth bag for ten days and a half months, but it is not a way to do it for a long time.

The price of jars and hoards has risen sharply, from a large vat that usually costs less than 10 yuan to 20 yuan, and a large hoard of grain has also risen from 5 or 6 yuan to more than 10 yuan.

The two teams of Shimiao Village followed suit. In the past two years, they have bought Hantun's dustpan willows, saved a lot of thick slivers, and also saved a lot of large hoards of grain.

If the nearby village knew about it, they came to buy the hoard, and before leaving the village, they sold all the backlog of hoards, and also collected a lot of deposits for orders.

As long as there is a strip, the strong labor of the adult can make a hoard in a day. They also practiced a piecework system, with half of their income going to individuals and half of their income being accumulated collectively.

This method has greatly aroused the enthusiasm of the masses, and many families have stayed up until more than 10 o'clock at night. Women and the elderly also helped, cutting slivers and weaving bottoms, doing what they could.

A hoarding personal income of more than five yuan, one a day, can earn more than 150 yuan a month, and more than 300 in two months, which is higher than the income of the past year.

Not only has the price of hoarding been high, but the price of dustpans and dustpans has also risen, and the former stocks have been sold, and now they have no care to process export products to the Foreign Trade Bureau.

They are all from the same village, and seeing the high income of the people of these two teams, the people of the other teams are hot-eyed, and they also start to plant dustpan willows in their own river beaches.

In addition to buying jars and hoarding, another phenomenon after the wheat harvest is that there are more woven bags. In the past, in the production team, there were more than 300 catties of rations per person, and I don't know how many times they have been distributed, even if it is a family with a large population, three or four cloth bags are enough.

Through this year's wheat harvest, people know that the family does not harvest thousands of catties of wheat. In particular, the villages on the river beach are more than 1,000 catties per capita. There are no more than a dozen cloth bags, and the food is delayed.

In the past, they used to spin flowers in winter and weave cloth in spring. After the rainy season, people put up the loom.

Now, it is the busy farming season, but everyone has moved out the loom that has been put away, and is busy weaving coarse cloth bags.

Weaving coarse cloth bags, using poor quality frost flowers, spinning cotton thread is also thicker, and the woven cloth is thicker.

The cloth bag is narrow, generally 50 centimeters, a cloth bag of cloth, containing more than 120 catties of grain. There are also 40 cm cloth bags, which can only hold 100 catties.

A machine of coarse cloth is enough to make 20 cloth bags, and people have their own weaving machines, and there are also two partners weaving, mainly depending on the number of people in the family.

Another phenomenon after the wheat harvest is that there are more people buying livestock, and the price of livestock has risen rapidly, and the original three or four hundred yuan of ploughing cattle is now not Wu Baiyuan, don't want to buy it, even a calf can be bought for 300 yuan.

Compared with ploughing oxen, the price of a donkey is slightly cheaper, and you can buy a strong donkey for about 300 yuan, but the cow eats wheat straw, and the donkey has to eat pole grass (millet straw).

At present, there is no pole grass in each family, and the donkey straw grass is still planted by the production group last year.

However, people still see opportunities in the market, and some people plant half an acre of summer grain after the wheat harvest, just to harvest the grass and feed the donkeys.

People in nearby villages have the idea of cultivating cattle in Hantun Village, and there are many agricultural machinery in Hantun Village, so they can't easily use ploughing cattle, and everyone wants to buy cattle from Hantun Village.

But the second master likes to serve the livestock, he has fed the animals for more than ten years, and he has feelings for each livestock. Besides, the cost of feeding livestock is not large, and Hantun basically uses alfalfa grass to feed livestock.

There is no need to use grass, and there is no need to dig grass, which saves a lot of effort, and the village has installed tap water in the cowshed, and the second master does not need to fetch water for drinking livestock.

The only tiring work is to get out of the circle, and now this work is done with the help of the people of the pig farm, and the cleaned cow dung is directly poured into the biogas digester, and the cow house is much cleaner.

The number of cattle in the village has grown to more than 20, and it is true that half of them are not needed. In view of this situation, two bulls were left to breed and the others were sold. The cows were all left, mainly for breeding.

Due to the persistence of the second master, Hantun Village later developed into a nationally famous cattle breeding base, each cattle up to more than 10,000 yuan, and at that time, everyone felt the wisdom of the second master.

After the wheat harvest, people felt the importance of arranging trucks on the ground. Besides, in the future, when the land is used to arrange cars, there will be more that, and you can't borrow it from someone else's house every time.

Besides, if you borrow someone else's land to row a car, you have to wait for the master's family to run out, but the farmer does not wait for anyone.

When planting in autumn, the soil and manure are transported to the field, and the rubber tyred cart pushes it, and how much time does it have to be delayed on the way back and forth.

Ground row cars have also become a hot commodity, and basically all people, Mai Hou have started to sell ground row cars.

There is no limit to the number of wheels of the ground row truck, and the production stores in the supply and marketing cooperatives are open for supply. An 80 yuan, in the early eighties, that was a lot of money.

People quickly ran out of wheels, and there were very few more wheels in the supply and marketing cooperatives. Not to mention the ground row, even the wheels of rubber-tyred cars are rarely available.

However, there are some at high prices in the market, 100 yuan each, which is estimated to be done by insiders in the supply and marketing cooperatives. Inside and outside, each gets an extra 20 yuan.

However, the supply of high-priced goods is not sufficient, and it cannot meet the needs of the masses. Everyone took the money and arrived early in each episode, hoping to buy ground row wheels.
