Chapter 12 National Grain
Five dishes can be described as sumptuous, and the New Year is at this level.
Stewed old hen with yellow flower root, steamed pork pieces in sauce, white water radish, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and a dish of old altar kimchi.
At this time, the pig is super thin, it is difficult to break through 110 catties for a year, the standard for the purchase of fat pigs at the food station is 110 catties, and the weight is not collected at all, 110 catties of this weight, changed in the later generations, just use the feed to fatten, two months can grow to 110 catties.
The reason for this is that the current pig breed is too poor, and the second is because the pigs eat too poorly, every meal is cut from the hillside, and only the pigs in the production team can eat some specially planted vegetables.
Maybe he could write an article on the breed of pigs, which is really feasible, but first he has to have a chance to run to the provincial capital.
While thinking, the chopsticks kept stopping, sandwiching a piece of steamed soft miso meat, the fat layer was less than five millimeters, there was almost no fat, if this kind of meat was placed in thirty years, it would immediately be reminiscent of clenbuterol, but what was needed in this era was fat meat.
Because the meat is too lean, it will shrink when fried and eaten, and it is a waste of oil, so the villagers will choose to stew or steam to eat, so that the meat will not only not become less, but will also expand slightly, and you can drink oil and water after eating meat.
"Hmm, it's delicious, it's delicious!" As soon as the meat was in his mouth, Fang Dajun shouted, this steamed meat is more delicious than the sauce-flavored elbow he has eaten, the current pork quality is too domineering, except that the pig is kept at home, the food that the pig eats is worse than the wild boar, and in turn, the quality of the meat is almost at the same level as the wild boar.
And because the pig is castrated, less fishy, it is more delicious, this kind of meat in the future thirty or forty yuan a pound may be someone rushing to buy, now only seven cents.
"Eat more if it's delicious, Mom left you a big bowl, and there will be it tomorrow!" Mother said happily.
"Well, Mom, you eat too!" Fang Dajun said and sandwiched the thin layer of fat into his mother's bowl, people in this period like to eat fatty meat, because of the lack of oil and water, but they don't like lean meat, if the meat on the market is too thin, it will be difficult to sell, and the price of fat meat is slightly higher than lean meat, and it is also a hot commodity. As for the pork ribs, no one cares about them at all, which is completely opposite to later generations.
Rice is cooked by mixing rice and corn, and corn is a good thing as a coarse grain, but unfortunately people nowadays need pure rice.
Fang Dajun ate a large bucket of bowls, but he was not full, this was already twice the amount of food he had before he crossed, and now this body is too tmd to eat.
When everyone finished eating, they found that there were still a lot of dishes left, and it seemed that the family was taboo and did not let go of eating, and even the two younger sisters were very sensible. Seeing this, he can only express helplessness, the environment determines the standard of living and habits.
Cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks after the meal is naturally the work of the women, he and his father comfortably leaned back on the chair and chatted, waiting for the washing water to come, this is completely the treatment of the uncle.
"Old man, I want to study veterinarian, what do you think?" This is the result of his repeated measurements, in the village blacksmiths, carpenters, bricklayers are skilled jobs, but these skilled workers are available in every brigade, and the only one who can grasp the lifeblood of the commune is only a skilled worker, and that is the veterinarian.
Breeding and planting is the foundation of agricultural production, and anyone can plant, which is to grow food, because it has to be requisitioned every year, and even if the land is divided, there is no surplus grain at home. In this way, breeding has become the focus of wealth creation, as long as it is breeding, livestock may get sick, and it is inseparable from veterinarians.
Let's put it this way, at this time, the status of veterinarians was higher than that of school teachers, and they were very respected by the villagers.
He wants to be famous now, first, to create and invent more advanced labor tools, which is to grasp the key to planting, if he can still catch the breeding, then he will have to pay the timely rain of the commune in the future. When the time comes, whoever dares to touch him will have to ask the villagers of the nine villages and eighteen villages if they agree!
"Veterinarian! Baby, you have this idea, the old man is happy, but now it is different from before. In the past, veterinarians had no salary, and they had to turn over pig pens and go into cattle pens, and they had to get dung on their trouser legs every day, which was a dirty job. When the commune trained veterinarians, no one wanted to go. Your second master was a junior high school student at that time, a learned person, and he was originally arranged to be a teacher, but because your second master had a thin face, he couldn't speak on stage, and finally he had no choice but to study veterinarians.
Your second master now earns five yuan a month, counting the errand fees earned, he can earn ten yuan a month, and he can eat boiled eggs entertained by everyone every day, and his household registration has also been transferred to the unit. You want to study veterinary medicine now, it's hard! Fang Donghua sighed and said, in fact, there is still something to say, the commune asked him if he was willing to study veterinarian, but he didn't like it, and now he regrets that his intestines are blue.
Fang Dajun smiled and said: "Old man, you can rest assured, as long as the threshing machine is completed, the commune will definitely reward it at that time, I will propose to learn veterinary medicine, now everyone feeds less livestock, and the second master can be busy alone, but in the future, there will be more livestock, and one veterinarian will not be enough." "This is also true, now there are seven production brigades in the commune, which are about 800 households, and a veterinarian cannot take care of them at all.
He became a veterinarian for another reason, and that was because he had a colleague in the factory whose elder was a veterinarian, and his family had built a building in the 80s, all of which his father earned as a veterinarian. As soon as the commune dissolved, the villagers would be crazy about raising livestock, just selling livestock can make veterinarians make money, according to the colleague, they can earn three or four hundred yuan a month, what is the concept of this in the countryside in the eighties, fat to the point of oil, the only family.
But veterinarians were only brilliant in the 80s, and as soon as they entered the 90s, meat was abundant, and the state also improved the process in terms of taxation, and veterinarians gradually became tragic.
But he only used the veterinarian to seek fame, and this profession was also a rocker in the township after he broke in, and used this identity to corrupt a large number of cadres who had no resistance to money, as long as most of the cadres' butts were not clean, he would be safe no matter what he did.
"Okay, if it can really be done, our family will be better off in the future. If you eat the national food, you can also find a daughter-in-law with better family conditions. Fang Donghua said happily.
In the countryside, it is an honorable thing to get a fixed salary, and it is called eating "national grain", which actually means eating "supply grain", which is also the lifelong pursuit of many villagers, as well as the expectation of future generations.
"Old man, there is another thing I want to tell you, if I become a veterinarian and get a salary, I plan to use my second sister to go to university!" Fang Dajun said the ultimate goal, being a veterinarian is just a means, and letting the second sister go to college may also be a means, but more often than not, he still wants his sister to live the life she wants.
"Let Swallow go to college?" Fang Donghua was stunned, he really didn't expect his son to have such an idea.
"Yes, I see that the second sister has been reading books every day since she was empty in the past few years, and she didn't have been admitted to high school before, old man, you can let her go to cram school for a year. If she can be admitted to university, let her study, and I will support her in the future, if she can't pass the exam, our family will be worthy of her. Fang Dajun pondered and said, his eloquence is actually very good, he will always be clear about what the key point is when he talks, and he will kill it as soon as the atmosphere arrives, and the success rate is generally very high, and he got full marks for communication and speech in the university electives.
During the two years of working in the coast, although I was not satisfied, I also learned a lot of things, which is a precious wealth of life, and the same is true in the factory!
Fang Donghua did not respond immediately, but wrapped the leaves and smoked, the tobacco he planted in the field behind the house, and he could smoke it after it was dried.
Soon the room was filled with smoke, which aroused Fang Dajun's addiction to smoking, but considering his current biological age, he still smoked a few years later, otherwise it would affect his combat effectiveness in bed, and it would be a tragedy for a lifetime!
"Old man, Junjun, come to wash your face!" The second sister came with a wooden basin, and then quickly washed the handkerchief and handed it to the old man, and when the old man washed it, she had to wait for her brother to wash his face.
Waiting for Fang Dajun to take over the dried handkerchief, a sense of satisfaction from a big man suddenly arises, such an uncle's treatment is too addictive. Otherwise, it is better to keep the second sister at home, it is easy to go from simple to luxurious, and it is difficult to enter simple from luxury!
"Yanzi, your brother is willing to let you go to university, and the old man agreed. If you have a good life in the future, don't forget to take care of your brother! Fang Donghua finally relented.
Fang Yan was completely stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect what his brother said was true, he really told the old man about reading, and the old man really agreed, and his tears couldn't stop flowing.
I saw my brother suddenly make a grimace, and then pointed to his feet, meaning to let her wash her feet, and when he saw this, he burst into tears and laughed!
