Chapter 139: The 70s of the Female General (138)
But the sweet potatoes dried in this way are actually not delicious, and probably only people like Qingsoul, who have never eaten sweet potatoes in their previous lives, feel that the porridge cooked from the dried sweet potatoes in that way also has a special sweet aroma.
Therefore, when the aunt planned to dry the sweet potatoes, Qingjun stopped her.
"Don't dry it directly, let's wash all the sweet potatoes, slice and cut strips to steam them in a steamer first, and then dry them, so that they are sweeter and more delicious." And the storage time is not bad with the direct sun. It's just a matter of burning firewood. Fortunately, we have not a shortage of wheat and orange stalks and straw in the two seasons, and it is close to the mountains, so it is not difficult to collect firewood. ”
Because of the extra steaming procedure, the sweet potatoes at home were busy for three or four days, and only half of them were dried.
The other half was stored in the kiln and kept it.
In fact, sweet potatoes still have to be stored for more time to be sweeter, but after they were harvested, they were also stored in the granary of the brigade for more than a month before they were distributed to each family, and they already had a sweet taste.
After drying the sweet potatoes, my aunt was busy pickling pickles again, and at the end of October, the radishes were also harvested, and she was busy pickling dried radishes.
However, Qingsoul and Qingjun are already paying attention to the affairs of the kiln factory in the team.
I don't know how the captain Zuo Zeyou discussed with the branch secretary Yan Qijiu, in short, after the autumn harvest, the wasteland under the south pile began to build a kiln, the person in charge is Uncle Xian, and the same as Shang Yi before, the production team paid a part of the cost of building the kiln, and the rest of the teams raised funds. Uncle Long and Uncle Kang became technical backbones, and Uncle Kang also took up an accounting position because of his high Chinese credentials.
Counting up, the personnel distribution is that Uncle Xian is in charge of business, Uncle Long is in charge of production, and Uncle Kang is in charge of finance. But the management positions are all called the Yan family, and the brothers are not decent, even if the agricultural machinery and repair skills that Zuo Zetang learned come in handy, he is responsible for transporting the goods. And in the name of the village, I bought an agricultural machine for the brick factory.
After the production team took the money to build the kiln, they couldn't get the money to buy agricultural machinery, so Yan Qihua came forward, saying that he had made an IOU with the agricultural machinery factory and repaid the loan after a year. In fact, the purchase price of more than 5,000 yuan, Qing Soul has already given it to Yan Qihua in private. The arrears in the village, when the money is repaid, must be handed over directly to Yan Qihua, and then Yan Qihua will pay it back to the Qing Soul. Because of such a big favor, coupled with the skills of the three brothers of the Yan family, no one has an opinion on the kiln factory being managed by these people.
The production in the kiln factory was also divided into three shifts, and a few team leaders were selected from other surnames to be responsible. The workers employed were also selected from various ethnic groups, and there were no contradictions.
As soon as this kiln factory was built, it was the brothers of the Yan family who were in charge, and each surname also occupied the position of management, and it was supported by the director of the town brick and tile factory, the director of the Su factory and the Yan family were cousins, so the status of the Qingsoul branch in the village suddenly rose a lot.
Qing Soul originally wanted to get the little brother into the kiln factory, even if he was a scorekeeper, it was better than him working in the team, but the little brother was unwilling. I went to the kiln factory to work as a scorekeeper, and the work was easy, but it took up too much time.
If he didn't want to, the green soul didn't bother to care.
wanted to get Qi Heng into the village primary school as a teacher, but he was unwilling.
Qing Soul was speechless about this, you know, how many young people know how much of a primary school teacher's job, but there is no way.
After the weather was cold, Qingjun took Qing Soul and Qi Heng and began to build a warm shed, not only for his own family, but also for the eldest grandfather, second grandfather, and third grandfather. After using the transparent plastic film, he got a large bundle of black plastic film out of nowhere, and built sheds for several houses.
However, in the shed built with black plastic sheeting, he only allowed leeks to be planted.
Now not only the elders suspect that this thing is warm, but it is not transparent to light, can it be done by growing vegetables?
Qingjun said: "Although this is a leek, it is a leek, but it is a leek, which is much more expensive than the leeks sold, and it is planted in winter, so it is rare and expensive." Many people in the city are not short of money, what they lack is materials, not to mention the leeks that are grown like golden jade, which are leeks, and the price in winter will not be cheap. ”
In addition to the leeks planted behind the house, in the greenhouse in the courtyard, the planting is relatively complete, green peppers, green garlic, tomatoes, beans, small greens, celery, all planted. Although each of them is only planted in less than 10 square meters.
As a result, at the end of the year, Qingjun took a few green peppers, eggplants, garlic, tomatoes, beans, celery, and small greens that he couldn't finish eating to the city and sold them in the city, and he really made a sum of money and all kinds of tickets back.
I was happy with a few grandmothers.
He didn't sell it on the black market, mainly because the amount was not large and not worth it.
This third aunt is a worker in the city, and Uncle Qihua is also a person from a big factory in the city, so he sends it to these two factories, and the workers and leaders in the factory are not people who are short of money, but if you want to eat potatoes, cabbage and radishes in winter, which one is not tired of eating? Seeing some green and lovely vegetables, there is no need to recommend them at all, as long as they are sent, they will be robbed, and they will not be seen for a few days, and the people of the two factories have to urge the third aunt and Uncle Qihua to ask, when will your nephew from your hometown come? Notify us when you come, don't let others snatch everything.
The little brother was devoted to his vegetable business, and the green soul was busy going to the mountains to hunt for prey, and she kept a lot of chickens and rabbits, as well as wild boar and birds flying in the sky.
In addition to what the family usually eats and sells, all of which are secretly dried, wild boar also went to the county and city to sell more than ten heads, adding up to more than 2,000 yuan, and also got a lot of tickets back, and added a lot of nutrients and daily necessities to the space.
At first, the brick and tile factory in the town needed to introduce customers to the factory, and then people went directly to the kiln factory, and the bricks fired were not sold. However, the coal used, because the amount of coal used is not large for the coal factory, people are unwilling to deal with it directly, and they have to purchase it through the town brick and tile factory.
Soon it was the end of the semester, and the green soul went to school to take the final exam, and it was not surprising that he came back with the first exam.
And Erdan, Yaya and sister-in-law, the three of them tied for the first place, all of them were 100 points, and they made the family happy. In fact, this result is not surprising at all, Erdan and Yaya have both learned the third-grade class, and the sister-in-law has already finished the first-grade course, and they are all open, so it would be strange if the test was not good.
But if you do well in the exam, you have to be rewarded.
Qingjun bought a new set of clothes for each of the three of them.
At home, Gu Zhen also made one for each of the three of them, and these are two new clothes.
As a result, the third aunt came back and bought another one for the three of them.
It's the New Year, and you have to add new clothes. Gu Zhen used a sewing machine to connect Qi Heng to the family, and each of them made new cotton clothes and shoes. It was Hua Xinguo, and Gu Zhen also knitted a sweater for him.
Because Qingsoul and Qingjun planned to go to see the uncle, Gu Zhen also made new padded jackets for the uncle and sister-in-law.
And on the third brother Yan Qingze's side, Qing Soul not only sent a new cotton clothes and underwear, but also sent a lot of cured meat and grain to the past, at least to ensure that he had a good year.
This holiday, I have to go to see Huaxinguo.
