Chapter 90: Corn Wears

That night, Lamei checked all her money to avoid giving her brother Wang Guiyong counterfeit money. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As soon as I think of his angry look, I know how much people hate counterfeit money!

Not to mention, she really checked out two counterfeit 100 yuan bills.

This time, there was only more than 3,800 yuan left in his hand. If my brother's corn is 4,000 catties, where can I get 200 yuan?!

According to Lamei's meaning: she broke more than 2,600 ears of tender corn from the team, bought 2,600 catties of dried corn and returned them to the team; and then bought more than 1,000 catties of corn with the money she earned, and prepared to subsidize her mother, godmother, and Wang Li family when there was a famine next year.

Another one or two hundred yuan is left for pocket money. There are no stupid eggs to sell in winter, and most of the old clothes she saves are single clothes in spring and summer, and they can't be sold in winter.

Thinking of her small body, no matter how much she can toss, she can't toss a lot of money. I used some snacks and daily necessities, and Hou Wanqiu also bought five old bicycles, accounting for 100 yuan.

Although bicycles are also wealth, they are kept in their own homes that they rented in their previous lives, but they cannot be turned into cash.

invisibly lost 200 yuan, which made Lamei very frustrated!

In reality, people don't have money in their hands, but they don't have to worry about counterfeit money. The balance in Lamei's heart couldn't help but lean towards reality.

………………………………………………

The crops in the field are all moldy and germinated, and they can't get back a single one.

Looking at four or five thousand catties of corn, tears welled up in the eyes of captain Wang Guilan: The rations of more than 100 people alone are not enough, and there are still thousands of catties of collection tasks.

Sitting on wax is sitting on wax, but the solar term is not forgiving. It was already frost, so I had to cut the straw and plant wheat.

The ground is wet, the labor is less, the time is tight, and it is too late to plough the ground and fertilize, so I have to plow the furrow and plow - paste the stubble and sow it directly.

Hurry up and hurry up, and finally finish sowing the wheat before the freeze.

Due to the autumn fool rain, the crops were bumper but not abundant. When the disaster information went up, there was also a theory that the large-scale steel smelting occupied the entire labor force, and the public grain for this year was exempted.

But four or five thousand catties of ears of corn, one hundred and dozens of people, the gap is too big.

Wang Guilan looked at the grain hoard in the warehouse and found that there was still a hoard of old grain, which was added up to the new one, and it could be sustained until the end of the year.

After the New Year, there is also the tiliu handed over by the wheat, and if all the wheat is returned, it may be able to maintain until the wheat is harvested. It's hard to say after the microphone.

But the wheat hoard was deflated. Estimated with his eyes, it was only five or six hundred catties, and he had to celebrate the New Year.

So, Wang Guilan decisively issued an order: "From now on, steamed buns are no longer allowed in the room, and they will all eat cornmeal wotou, and make hot soup noodles to improve their lives." ”

Although there has been a big change in food, people can accept it. Because it's already time for farming, if you don't sell a lot of energy, it doesn't matter how little you eat.

When you start a fire, you can't bear to steam steamed buns in winter! Drinking a bowl of hot noodle soup in winter is warm and moisturizing.

The days went on day by day. After the sweet potatoes, cabbage, radishes, and carrots in the field were all dug back, God symbolically rained the first snow that covered the ground, and the winter leisure officially began.

At this time, the people who had been transferred to the steelworks also returned. The reason is not because of the snow, but because there is no iron ore source.

It is said that after the autumn, it has been maintained. In order to cope with the inspection, straw, branches, and broken wood were filled in, and a layer of soil was buried on top of it, so that the blast furnace could emit black smoke.

From a distance, the steelworks are full of energy, and the blast furnaces are all on fire.

Just when it could not be maintained, a document was handed down from above, saying that after investigation, the iron ore resources in this area were insufficient, and all the steelmaking plants were shut down, and manpower was transferred to the place where the iron ore was concentrated. A few young men were drawn from one team, and the rest returned.

Five of the eleventh teams were drawn, including his uncle Wang Changzhu.

Wang Zhang's eyes and tears were wiped away, but this was an order, and those who went were all young, so she had no choice but to acquiesce. He picked up a set of cover rolls for Wang Changzhu and sent them to the large steel mill in the province.

The countryside is idle for half a year, and it is not false at all. As soon as the dining bell rang on the team, the whole family went to the canteen to eat.

After eating enough, he wiped his mouth, and the man went to the north wall to bask in the sun and the mountains;

The women went home to spin, weave, and do needlework. Less cooking and more time to do work, the efficiency of female celebrities has been significantly improved.

Lamei is a busy man.

After receiving four or five thousand catties of ears of corn in her previous life, she had to take down the corn kernels one by one. In her previous life, there was a corn thresher, but she didn't dare to hire it.

One is that she hasn't gotten in touch with her neighbors, and people don't know that she's storing so many ears of corn. As soon as it is threshed, it is equivalent to revealing white, don't let people with bad hearts worry about it.

These corns were nothing in the previous life, but in reality, they were life-saving food.

Don't look at what the captain thinks, Lamei, who has been on a trip since this period, knows that the Tiliu handed in by Maili has not been pulled back at all, and it is all called that the above is leaving. Next year's great famine is already deeply imprinted in her mind!

And then there's the fact that her corn varieties are different from those in her previous life. In the previous life, there were no people who planted this variety in large areas, and if people knew about it, it would inevitably cause suspicion.

What's more, she has no land here, she doesn't grow crops, and so many ears of corn pop up at once, people must suspect that she is stealing people's drops.

Because of these reasons, Lamei had to thresh it herself.

In reality, the ears of corn on the production team are beaten manually. After the ears of corn were dried, they were piled up in the center of the yard, and the captain led the women with sticks around them, beating them one stick after another.

When the ears of corn are flowered, they pick them out and throw them aside so that the old man can pick up the unbeaten kernels.

Lamei doesn't have that condition. One is that there is no venue, and the other is that the knocking sound is too loud, which is bound to alarm the neighbors. The only way is to use a spike of hands under the electric light in the house.

At first, the ears of corn were pierced into gaps one by one with a cone, and then the ears of corn were twisted with the heart of the ears of corn (the middle pulp), and the ears of corn were finished.

However, the small red corn kernels are round and dense, and it is not easy to insert the cone. One is not well inserted, and the cone is cut on the ear of corn, and there is a bloody wound on the hand.

After pricking her hand a few times, she suddenly remembered the corn clothes she used as a child.

Corn piercing is to make a rectangular piece of wood more than a foot long and half a foot wide, and make a groove in the middle to push the corn ears.

Then a large nail is hammered diagonally in the middle of the groove, and the length of the nail tip is just right to pierce the corn kernel down. It is the most used tool for corn ears in old perennial farmers

Although the workmanship is simple, this is a carpentry job, and Lamei can't do it without carpentry tools.
