Now the weather is hot, and I haven't eaten enough, and now I'm working on a breath, but it's hard to stick to it for a long time.

Liu Yimiao said to Mrs. Liu: "Is our side far away from the village near the sea?" Mrs. Liu said: "It takes two or three days to walk, there is little fertile land over there, and they are so poor that they can't eat. I had to climb two mountains to get there, I hadn't been there, and I still heard from others. ”

"Mom, you said that the people over there are tired of eating fish and shrimp, and we can't eat it if we want to." Liu Yimiao panicked when he thought about the taste of lobster.

"Then you can't eat fish and shrimp every day, you can eat vegetables as rice! If you eat too much salted fish, you have to drink a lot of water. If they go out to sell, they have to walk so far, the place is too far away, and if they can't sell it, they won't have any money, and they won't be able to wear clothes without money. If you go over there, there are many people whose clothes are much more torn than we have here, and most of them are home-woven linen. Wear that abrasive skin. ”

Liu Yimiao said: "There is little food over there, so we can exchange the grain for fish and shrimp over there."

When Mrs. Liu heard this: "The people over there are definitely willing to change, but the key is that we don't have food either."

Liu Yimiao said: "We can use the future grain for the current fish and shrimp, for example, in the future, when our famine has passed, there is surplus food, and whoever doesn't want to add a dish will definitely be willing to change."

Mrs. Liu slapped her thigh: "Oh, my daughter is so smart, you can figure it out."

Mrs. Liu went to find Liu Gen in a hurry.

As soon as Liu Gen saw his aunt, he was afraid that she would call Dagen, so he hurriedly said, "Auntie, let's go to the brigade headquarters to talk about something." Mrs. Liu thought that the matter of grain had to be agreed by the cadres before she could change it, so she said: "What I am talking about now is very important, I will go to the brigade headquarters to wait for you, you call the village party secretary and accountant, and wait for everyone to talk together."

Liu Gen saw that her aunt was so serious, so he hurriedly went to call someone.

When everyone arrived, Mrs. Liu talked about the grain exchange. Everyone thinks that this old lady is amazing, and the village party secretary said: "We are exchanging grain, not buying and selling privately, and not violating the policy, but to get others to agree to exchange grain, the cadres on our side also have to go to two people." In this way, the construction of the reservoir will definitely be done by the village chief, so let me go to this matter. ”

Everyone discussed it and discussed it with all the villagers, everyone felt that it was not the grain now, and it would be good to change it if there was more food in the future, and it was very expensive to buy this seafood to the supply and marketing cooperative, and they had not bought it yet. The village chief saw that everyone agreed, and wrote an agreement, asking those who could write to sign their names, and those who could not write to press their fingerprints, which was equivalent to the whole village collectively passing the matter.

The village party secretary took his eldest son, found a few strong laborers, signed an ox cart, a donkey cart, and brought a person from Linhai Village who married him as a guide.

The village party secretary climbed two mountains and walked for two days to get to that place. The place was full of mud houses, with thatched roofs, low houses, and tattered clothes.

The village party secretary asked where the brigade headquarters was, and a child about eight years old said, "The village chief is my grandfather, and I will take you there."

Suddenly, an old woman asked the little daughter-in-law, "You are the Dani of the old Li family, right?" Why are you back? Li Dani said to the old woman: "Aunt Wang, this is the village party secretary of my husband's village, the village party secretary has come to our village chief to discuss things, is the village chief in the brigade headquarters?"

Aunt Wang said that the village chief happened to be at the brigade headquarters, and the group went. They were not walking fast with the ox carts. When the villagers saw the stranger appear, someone had already run to tell the village chief.

Liu Yimiao's village is Dahe Village, and this small fishing village is called Conch Village, because there is a local conch that is particularly delicious.

The village chief's name is Xiang Qianjian, and he has still studied, and this name was given by his teacher.

Xiang Village Chief also knew Li Dani, and knew that Li Dani brought it, and he knew that he had the bottom of his heart.

The village party secretary of Dahe Village brought the official seal of the brigade and a letter of introduction, and after confirming his identity, he explained his intention to the village chief.

Xiang also thought that this proposal was good, so he used a loudspeaker to gather the villagers and talk about it.

Although everyone felt that there was no cash food, they were not afraid to regret it when they wrote it down in black and white. Moreover, the fish and shrimp in the sea are bought and sold without capital, it just takes a little effort, and each family has dried fish and shrimp.

The village party secretary of Dahe Village discussed with Conch Village and exchanged 2,000 catties of grain for 8,000 catties of fish and shrimp. This grain can be corn or sweet potatoes, and of course it must be dried. They also gave sun-dried fish and shrimp. Because the shrimp are all shelled, they are more weighed, and everyone is more satisfied. It was agreed that food would be brought over when the famine had passed. And a written agreement was written, stamped with the official seal, fingerprinted, and signed, and one copy was kept for each of the two villages.

The villagers of Conch Village took out their salted fish and dried shrimp, weighed them, recorded them, and when the food arrived, they redistributed the food according to the fish and shrimp handed over.

The head of Conch Village helped the village secretary of Dahe Village collect all the fish and shrimp and gave them two bags of dried kelp, and said that this can also make a dish, and told the village chief's wife how to mix cold kelp vegetables.

Li Dani went home to see when they were collecting fish and shrimp, and she told her about her own situation, and said that she was doing well, and her husband's family was fine. In fact, Li Dani, as the eldest daughter in the family, is very hardworking at home, and her parents also pretended to take dried salted fish to her husband's house.

Li Dani and the village party secretary walked together, and their parents and villagers watched them leave the village.

The village party secretary returned to Dahe Village, and he discussed with the village chief Liu Gen that the people who went to Conch Village had delayed their work for a few days, and they would give each person an extra ten catties of fish. The village chief agreed.

The villagers were very excited to see the fish and shrimp, and they all gathered around the ox cart to watch. Everyone helped unload the fish and shrimp from the car and put them at the brigade headquarters.

Liu Gen said that after dinner in the evening, he went to the brigade headquarters to divide the fish and shrimp, and everyone cheered and immediately dispersed to work again.

In the evening, Liu Gen said: "There are about 1,500 people in our village, and each person can get 5 catties, but they can't be distributed in this way. Therefore, if you have more work at home, you can change it, but if you have less work, you should not change it. The people who followed the exchange of grain, each person gave 10 catties of fish, they delayed a few days of work, a total of five people is 50 catties, there are 1950 catties left, according to the proportion of grain exchange, one catty of grain can be exchanged for four catties of fish and shrimp. "Everyone likes salted dried fish, which has more meat on it, and dried shrimp with shells doesn't feel cost-effective. Liu Gen felt that it was a mess like this, so he asked one person to take fish and shrimp randomly from the sack, and whoever had his turn would be whoever.

After distributing all the fish and shrimp, he distributed the dried kelp evenly to each household, saying that it was sent by Conch Village, and he did not need to share the work. The village chief also said that you can ask Li Dani and the village chief's daughter-in-law how to make this kelp. The meeting can now be adjourned.

The village has more or less divided fish and shrimp, which can be stored for a long time, and there is no need to put salt, and the salt money is saved.

Some people have a lot of labor, and they divide dozens of catties of fish and shrimp, and they only need to take out a little bit every day to increase the taste.
