Chapter 182: Chen Baosheng Enters the City 2

86_86695 "Some comrades feel that we are too much to control the common people. Some comrades feel that we have too little control over the common people. I would like to warn you that these views are wrong. ”

"We have two identities, one is a revolutionary who leads and organizes the people to carry out the revolution. One is the service provider who implements and formulates policies. However, no matter what our status, we must consider the problem from the perspective of the interests of the people, rather than managing the people like those who are in power. ”

"Whether as revolutionaries or as servants, we must look at problems with a realistic attitude. You sit there and talk too much or too little to me, and I won't listen. If you want to prove your point, you have to go outside, into the lives of the masses of the people, and do research and research. Then, with the detailed information and accurate numbers from the research, they came to talk to me about the problem. ”

"All the policies, systems, and rules formulated by our Rejuvenation Association must be realistic. Without this premise, I would think that whatever you say is nonsense. You must remember this. ”

——1624, Wang Shuhui, "I Talk About the Management Work", "Collected Works of the Fourth Rectification Movement of the Revival Society"

When walking, Chen Baosheng didn't feel hungry. But after standing in the train station for a while, Chen Baosheng felt hungry in his stomach.

Chen Baosheng's experience of hunger is very profound. In his fifty years of life, he only lived these three years of well-fed. From the time he was born until he was forty-seven years old, hunger was his primary physiological feeling.

Three years ago, he listened to the words of the working group and planted the land on credit from the Renaissance Society, because the working group hired and organized the whole village to carry out farmland and water conservancy construction. Therefore, Chen Baosheng ushered in the first real harvest year of his life.

He planted 10 acres of 500 catties of rice in one acre, and 700 catties of corn in one acre, and he planted 10 acres. He planted two acres of potatoes that harvested 1,200 catties of potatoes per acre, and three acres of sweet potatoes that he harvested 1,400 catties of sweet potatoes per acre.

Even if the three layers of grain to be handed over were removed, Chen Baosheng's family actually received 13,020 catties of grain. Chen Baosheng faced the mountains of grain and cried tears.

Of course, after the excitement, Chen Baosheng became the person who was bent on living. After handing over the public grain, he kept enough food for his own family and sold all the remaining grain to the Fuxing Society's Grain Bureau, whose purchase price was one steel hammer higher than the outside.

Because the purchase price of millet is the highest, Chen Baosheng only kept 100 catties of millet to eat during the Chinese New Year, and he mainly kept corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes for the rest of the grain.

In Chen Baosheng's opinion, corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes are indeed a bit unaccustomed to eating. However, they are also real, and they eat good food that can fill their stomachs. If you keep too much white rice, you will be a loser.

In the two years since, Chen Baosheng has implemented this method. The most planted is rice, and the most sold is rice. Corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes are all grown as food rations for their families.

For Chen Baosheng, sweet potatoes and potatoes are the best grains. The output is large and easy to serve, except that he was not used to their taste at the beginning, and now Chen Baosheng eats these two grains every day. For example, now, Chen Baosheng, who felt hungry sensitively, took out two baked potatoes from the burden he was carrying.

He found a seat in the train station, sat there, and began to eat baked potatoes.

Two fist-sized potatoes are roasted over a stove fire. So, it looks like the two potatoes are dirty and a little charred on the outside. Chen Baosheng skillfully peeled off the skin of a potato, then took out a small paper bag from his pocket, and carefully sprinkled the salt carefully placed in the paper bag on the peeled potato. Then, he began to eat the potato in earnest.

Potatoes are already a very popular thing in the area ruled by the Revival Society. Whoever lives in the area ruled by the Revival Society knows about potatoes. People in the Revival system are more familiar with potatoes. Because, they grow potatoes, transport potatoes, process potatoes, and store potatoes. The staple food of every meal every day is also mashed potatoes, potato wedges, potato buns and potato rice.

Wang Shuhui feels that it will take a long time to localize other high-yield grains. Therefore, from the perspective of solving the food problem of the whole Chinese, it is necessary for him to promote potatoes to become the main food of the Chinese. After all, the localization of high-yield potatoes is relatively easy to solve. In this way, from Wang Shuhui to every cadre, soldier, and worker of the Revival Association, they all began to eat potatoes as their staple food.

At the beginning, Chen Baosheng, who was eating baked potatoes, felt very comfortable. Yes, it's pleasant. For Chen Baosheng, eating a full meal without being in a hurry is a very pleasant process. However, after a while, Chen Baosheng couldn't get up. Because the people sitting next to him began to look at Chen Baosheng eating baked potatoes with a straight look.

At present, there are generally only two types of people who take the train. One is the people of the Fuxing Society, who have corresponding jobs in the Jingzhou area and need to travel back and forth between Jingzhou and Zhijiang frequently. On the other hand, there are all kinds of local and foreign merchants who like the speed of trains and the large volume of goods.

The Renaissance people were better off than some of the larger businessmen. After all, they can calmly eat in their own place, and then wait for the train at the train station. However, some small and medium-sized businessmen and the stewards and men who are responsible for running errands do not have such good treatment. They came and went in a hurry, and if they didn't bring dry food, they would have to starve.

The people who sat with Chen Baosheng were all stewards and buddies of small businessmen and big businessmen who were in a hurry. Because those Revival people and big businessmen rushed to the train station from their respective places when the train was about to leave.

The stewards and men of these small and big businessmen, like Chen Baosheng, are all people who have been busy all morning and have not eaten. They were waiting in the train station, and they were naturally hungry. Chen Baosheng munched on baked potatoes, which naturally attracted their attention.

At this time, seeing Chen Baosheng looking at everyone with a strange look, sitting next to him, a person wearing a gray canvas robe and obviously a person in charge, said to Chen Baosheng with a gentle smile: "This old brother, looking at your body below, you can almost be full after eating a potato." The remaining potatoes are inconvenient for you to give up. ”

In front of the public, Chen Baosheng would not take the initiative to tell others that he would eat four or five potatoes in one meal. He didn't quite understand the steward's words, and looked at him with a puzzled look.

This steward is also a person who often deals with ordinary people. He knew that a person dressed like Chen Baosheng must be a farmer with little knowledge, and he might not have understood what he said. Therefore, he took out two coppers and said to Chen Baosheng: "This old brother, I will exchange these two coppers for another potato with you." ”

Chen Baosheng understood this person's words this time. However, his doubts deepened. A potato seed is not worth two copper coins. How could such a cheap thing fall on your own head? However, compared to his own stomach, Chen Baosheng feels that making money is more important. So, he took the two copper coins in his hand and handed the other potato to the steward.

In this way, Chen Baosheng was eating the remaining potatoes while holding the two copper coins. He always felt that he was not sure about this matter. He was waiting for the gentleman in charge to regret and get the two copper coins back. But it was not until the steward had eaten the potato with the envy of all the people, and then he left with the others and got on the train. The steward didn't say anything about getting the money back. With a smug expression, he also praised Chen Baosheng's baked potatoes for how delicious.

Chen Baosheng held the two copper coins blankly, he didn't expect that he would encounter such an encounter. Just as he walked out of the train station and was about to go to the city to buy a hat, a flash of lightning struck his head, and his body was full of energy. He thought of a good way to increase his income.

In this way, Chen Baosheng stopped going to the city and didn't buy hats. He trotted all the way from the train station to Chenjiawan, where his home was located.

When he returned to his home, Chen Baosheng found that his little daughter, who had not been seen for two months, had come home. Chen Baosheng didn't say anything, just asked his daughter why his youngest son didn't come back. I heard that my youngest son stayed in school and did his homework. Chen Baosheng didn't talk to his daughter, who was a loser in his eyes, and walked to the big cellar in the courtyard by himself, pondering the sale of baked potatoes.

For Chen Baosheng, the problem of eating has indeed been completely solved. However, although the family has 20 acres of land, it is not realistic to increase their income by farming. After all, the price of grain purchase is constantly decreasing. Moreover, fundamentally speaking, the land planted by the family is not considered to be their own, but to the Revival Association.

The Revival Society has made it clear that this land is planted for everyone, and only three layers of grain are harvested. But as soon as no one planted it, or one left the land, or one died, or one became a laborer like his eldest son, the land was to be taken away.

Now his youngest son never goes home all day long, and he wants to take the "civil service exam" and become a civil servant. Sooner or later, his daughter will have to get married. At that time, I only have ten acres of land left, and I don't want to live. It is precisely for this reason that Chen Baosheng desperately saves. He had to plan for the days ahead.

Today's baked potato incident gave him a great inspiration. Since he hadn't seen any vendors at the train station, he thought it was well worth it. The potatoes are home-owned, and they basically don't cost anything. It's just a bit of hard work.

After Chen Baosheng figured out this matter, he went back to the house and told his wife about it. Chen Baosheng's wife is a person who has no ideas, since she wants to do it, she will not say something that she has and does not. However, Chen Baosheng's youngest daughter, who stayed next to them, was thoughtful.

In a feudal agrarian society, it is really not easy to be the daughter of a tenant farmer to be able to live a life. In modern China in 2015, there are some couples in remote and poor areas who will abandon their baby girls, so you can imagine how lucky and lucky it is that Chen Baosheng's youngest daughter can survive until the arrival of the Fuxing Association in the last days of the Xiaoice River climate, strict land concentration and increasing taxes.

Although Chen Baosheng and his wife have similar feelings for their three children. However, for the youngest daughter, they are indeed the least concerned. Living in a discriminatory environment for a long time, Chen Xiaomei has become very sensitive. This made her a good student with a flexible mind and excellent academic performance.

Chen Xiaomei, who has been affirmed in school, is not satisfied, and she strongly hopes that she can be loved by her parents. In this way, she worked hard to use her brain and came up with an idea.

Chen Xiaomei said to Chen Baosheng: "Dad, do you say that this baked potato is delicious when eaten hot or cold?"

Chen Baosheng glanced at Chen Xiaomei with dissatisfaction, and said to her: "Don't you need to talk about this, it is naturally hot and delicious." ”

Chen Xiaomei said again: "If that's the case, why don't we sell hot potatoes." It's not better to sell that way. ”

Chen Baosheng was really a little angry, and he said impatiently to Chen Xiaomei: "You read so many books, how can you read stupidly." It's a twenty-mile round trip, and I can still move our family to the train station. ”

Chen Xiaomei only said her plan at this time. He said to Chen Baosheng: "Dad, in fact, this matter is also simple. Just bring the raw potatoes to the station, and we'll bake them fresh. The key to this matter is how to bake potatoes at the train station. Wouldn't it be nice to get a handy stove? In the second brother's practical class, there is a practical class of making zuò tin buckets. Let's ask the second brother to make us a special tin stove that can bake potatoes, and then the matter will be solved. ”

Chen Baosheng pondered Chen Xiaomei's words carefully and felt that this method was indeed feasible. However, taking risks rashly is not Chen Baosheng's style. He decided to find out how the baked potatoes at the train station were selling.

Early the next morning, Chen Baosheng got up and baked ten potatoes himself.

In fact, last night, he began to feel shaken by his once-in-a-decade flash of inspiration. As a person who has been farming all his life, suddenly going to do business is indeed a big change that makes him very nervous
