Chapter 13: Changing Food
When the smell of the house was almost gone, she closed the door and went to rinse her mouth and drink some more water.
It's just that what makes her uncomfortable is ......
It didn't take long for her to start hiccups, and it was clear that it was the result of stealing food.
When I was a child, I heard people say that burping is a delicious thing to eat. She hadn't thought about it before, but now it seemed like it was really like that.
Dong Shuxue has been in the Baoshan Brigade for half a month, and when it comes to winter, everyone else will stop going to work one after another.
Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, the work of threshing the bud rice is almost the same, and there are people in the brigade headquarters who go to grind the bud rice every day to grind the bud rice into stubble, or bud rice noodles.
Dong Shuxue looked at the staple food of bud rice that was the same every day, and couldn't help but have a stomachache.
It's good to eat coarse grains, but no one can resist eating like this every day, she has come from a good life, so she can't accept it for a while.
She is now located in the northeast, where no rice or wheat is grown, but corn and soybeans and sorghum.
Other cereals are also cultivated, but very little, only soybean and corn sorghum are mainly cultivated.
These things are the key grains for oil extraction and staple food, and if you can't eat enough, what kind of white flour rice are you looking for?
In the past few days, listening to the juniors chatting, even the nearby communes rarely have such things as rice and white noodles.
Some people grow these things in the place where their relatives are located, and they exchange them for bud rice, of course, coarse grains are not valuable, and they get very little fine grains in exchange.
Dong Shuxue was lying on the kang, and everyone else was sitting on the kang or standing aside.
It's snowing heavily outside today, so I stay at home, and I don't go to work in the winter to eat and store food, so most people don't go out easily.
That will only digest faster, and you will be hungry before the afternoon.
Here are two meals a day, and some people have little food, so they eat one meal.
"Let's ......"
Song Dashan took a puff of dry tobacco, and then said to Li Daya on the kang without looking back: "Tomorrow, let Quanzi and his father go to the mountain to find someone to change some white noodles, seeing that the New Year is approaching, and no one will change it at the end of the year." ”
Outside the mountains is a suitable place for growing wheat and rice, but the yield is too low, and the temperature here is not as suitable as in the south.
With the exception of rice, wheat yields are low. Each family is estimated to only have a few catties of white flour, and you can see these all year round.
Li Daya sat cross-legged on the kang head and didn't say anything, looked at a bunch of skinny little radish heads in Beikang, and sighed deeply.
Although she didn't say anything, her attitude was obvious, and she agreed.
Dong Shuxue looked at the atmosphere and didn't ask much. The current land yield is not high, and there may not be much food left at home.
Song Dashan wants to change his white noodles because he looks like the Chinese New Year is approaching, and it is estimated that the food he changes out is enough for the family to eat several meals.
The other children clearly sensed the solemn atmosphere in the room, so they didn't speak one by one.
Early the next morning, Song Weiquan came over with his uncle Song Xuesong to get food.
Last night, Li Daya told them to come over early to get something.
Dong Shuxue was woken up by the sound of talking, she opened her eyes and saw that it was not yet dawn, she was about to hurry?
The outhouse (the kitchen at the door, the northeast is all burning kang, so the kang head is the stove pit, which is separated by a wall.) There was a voice over there.
"These twenty catties of bud rice should be able to exchange for less than ten catties of noodles, you tell your uncle outside the mountain, don't give less." Li Daya instructed with all her heart.
