This is a good thing, of course Zhou Lanxiang has to agree. Not to mention that the team is given full work points for cooking two meals a day, but they don't give work points, the old captain and Accountant Han asked her for help, and she was willing to help.

They have helped her so much in the affairs of the Wang family, how can she not remember their goodness. And there are more things that need their help in the future, so she was stupid not to take the opportunity to get along with the team cadres.

Although the old captain coughed very badly, he did not delay him at all, and beckoned a little boy who was running wildly on the threshing floor in front of the team headquarters, and asked him to call Liu Datou, the captain of the Dongtou Seventh Team.

Liu Datou is in his forties, with a big head, short arms and legs, but his body is very strong, and he always wears a gray-green cloth shirt, looking like a Wang Bajing who walks on two legs.

However, his big head is not in vain, he looks ridiculous, but he is very shrewd, and his particularly strong body is not in vain, and the strength of the whole commune is that no one can beat him except Han Jin!

Wang Datou called the old captain Uncle Mai Zi with a little respect, and called Uncle Sheng very affectionately to Han Liqun, knowing that he was looking for him to discuss the candidate to cook for the educated youth, the old captain didn't mention who it was, he glanced at Zhou Lanxiang who was sitting on the side rubbing buds and understood.

"Uncle Mai, I've thought about this several times, there is really no suitable person in our team, and you have to worry about this matter all the time! The first one has to be delicious to cook, clean and neat, and the most important thing is that the character is passable! Liu Datou's short arm pulled upward, "You always see that people's eyes are the most poisonous, and this matter depends on you!" ”

It would be easy for him to say this, and immediately decided on Zhou Lanxiang, and the old captain and Liu Datou took her to the Zhiqing Point to announce this matter to everyone.

The Zhiqing Point is also next to the threshing floor, and the team headquarters is to sit on the north side of the threshing floor and face south in three main rooms, and the Zhiqing Point is next to the west end of the threshing floor, sitting in the west and facing east four small adobe thatched west wings, which is the place where the team used to store grain and livestock feed.

The house has been built for many years, it is not a place to live, the wall is thin and the roof is not warm, although last year the educated youth came to the team to smear a thick layer of yellow mud on the wall, and the grass on the roof was also replaced with a new one, but there is not even a yard of four lonely houses, and there is no rut in the tuntou, and the house in the winter is barely maintained without freezing.

Now there are seven educated youths in the point, four men and three women, the male educated youth live in two rooms in the east, and the female educated youth live in one and a half rooms in the west, and half of the room is used as a kitchen.

called the three female intellectuals over to announce the decision of the team to send someone to cook for them, the intellectuals were very happy, but they couldn't hide their surprise, but they still applauded and thanked excitedly, and then looked at the two team leaders together, looking unsatisfied.

Obviously, they have made a lot of requests to the team leaders in the past few days, and the two captains have not solved them, but they have unexpectedly sent a cook.

The old captain entered the door from the outside, and he couldn't help coughing hard as soon as the hot and cold air rushed, the advantage of Liu Datou is that he never hid when he came out, and sincerely and very attitude-oriented told the educated youth about the country's educated youth policy and the situation in the team, saying that he would actively implement the national policy and would definitely do his best to provide convenience to the educated youth, but this is the situation in the countryside, and please overcome it more.

It seems that Ji Yuan, the oldest and most mature male intellectual, hurriedly expressed his position on behalf of everyone: "Our young intellectuals go to the countryside to come to the vast world of the countryside to exercise themselves, ** have said, the vast world of the countryside is promising, we are farmers when we go to the countryside, we must bear hardships and stand hard work and actively devote ourselves to rural construction, the team does not need to take special care of us, we must be strict with ourselves, and do our best for rural construction!" ”

The educated youths were enthusiastically boiled by Ji Yuan's words, and the youngest female educated youth, Han Mei, even actively asked to join the team's water conservancy construction engineering team and exercise herself in the most difficult place!

Everyone responded one after another, and also said that they would also go to the hardest places to exercise themselves!

The old captain and Liu Datou sang and harmonized, calming the emotions of the educated youth, of course, they did not agree to the request of the educated youth, and then arranged for cooking.

Zhou Lanxiang cooks two meals a day for them, according to the tradition of mushroom tun, they eat two meals when they are not heavy in winter, and come back for breakfast at eight or nine o'clock after early work in the morning, and it gets dark early in the winter in the Northeast, and they have to finish work and go home for dinner at four o'clock.

After saying this, Zhou Lanxiang took the initiative to propose that she was not in charge of food: "You educated students in the city will settle accounts, and the food of the big guys is also provided on a monthly basis, I am not good at random distribution, who was in charge of the food before or who was in charge, I cook a meal, you give me a meal, and let me be lazy and worry about snacks." ”

Liu Datou and the old captain looked at each other without a trace, with a little smile in their eyes, they knew that Xiaoxiang, this girl, was a good brain, and they didn't need to mention themselves before they talked about it.

Zhou Lanxiang would never mention Liu Datou if he didn't mention it, and then let Uncle Mai Zi think that he couldn't trust the person he picked, the educated youth didn't expect this, as for the old captain, he was very good in his heart, and he knew that Xiaoxiang would mention it himself.

If this little girl didn't have this awakening energy, where would she be able to get into the eyes of Lao Han's old slippery head!

After all the explanations were made, the two captains left, and Zhou Lanxiang stayed directly at the Zhiqing Point to cook dinner for them.

In fact, the educated youth point did not take care of the food, but after Zhou Lanxiang brought it up, they came and went for a long time before Zhang Jing, the oldest female intellectual, stood up and said that Zhou Lanxiang would just receive food with her in the future.

As soon as the old captain left, while Zhou Lanxiang was cleaning up the two almost embroidered cauldrons for them, Zhao Jing hurriedly took the notebook and calculated it, Zhou Lanxiang boiled a large pot of water, and she came out with half a small pot of cornmeal.

There are seven educated youths, the eldest Ji Yuan is twenty-one, and the youngest is Han Mei sixteen, all of whom are the most able to eat, and there is not a drop of oil in their stomachs, that is, the little girl may not be full if she eats three or four cornmeal cakes at a meal, but this half a small pot of cornmeal is enough to paste twelve or thirteen cakes.

But Zhou Lanxiang didn't say anything, she cooked as much food as they gave her, all she could control was to make things as delicious as possible, and she really couldn't care about anything else.

Moreover, these children's families are all in the city, and their parents can more or less give some subsidies, even if they can't eat enough in the big stove, they can eat some snacks. In her previous life, although she didn't know anything about the educated youth, she didn't hear that the educated youth were hungry.

Zhao Jing cut her short *** head, her bangs were pinned with a black hairpin, she had a single eyelid and a small mouth, she looked like a smart girl, although she was a little embarrassed, she still took the initiative to explain the food to Zhou Lanxiang.

"Sister-in-law, we don't have much food, in the future, one corn tortilla per person in the morning, two male intellectuals in the evening, and one and a half female intellectuals, you just look at the number of people to do it, please try to make the same size as much as possible."

Zhou Lanxiang happily agreed, in the past, she hired a young man who returned to the city as a small worker in her store, and she knew in detail some of the policies and situations of the young people.

The first year they went to the countryside was subsidized by the state, before the famous parents of the educated youth wrote a letter to ** 73 years ago, the first year was a living allowance of eight yuan per month, 18 catties of grain for male intellectuals, and 16 catties for female intellectuals.

In the years when there is no drop of oil and water in the stomach, adults can't fill their stomachs with a pound of food at a meal, what is more than ten pounds a month enough to do? Even the eight yuan subsidy is used to sell grain, and without food stamps, you can only buy high-priced grain, and a pound of cornmeal in the grain store costs seven cents, and the black market outside costs more than three cents, which is not enough to eat.

Besides, the eight yuan includes all the living expenses, and it is good to be able to sell half of the grain.
