The acacia tree is also known as a life-saving tree on the Loess Plateau.

At the beginning of May, the acacia trees around the village finally hang clusters of pale yellow millet buds.

Before the white flowers bloomed, the mother-in-law in the village couldn't wait to start acting. They tied their sickles to the top of the sticks, cut off the branches of the acacia trees, and carried them home in baskets of locust flowers.

If you can't finish a meal, you can also dry it and store it.

The broken babies in the village are more like they have some good business, many of them climb directly on the trunks of trees, and stuff a lot of acacia flowers into their mouths, and they will come down when they will fill their stomachs.

For these hungry little ones, acacia flowers are definitely a rare delicacy.

It's sweet and fragrant, and it's much better than elm money.

Even Wang Manyin's family is no exception, when he gets up in the morning, he sees the acacia tree next to the dung heap white, he directly tied a sickle and cut most of the basket, ready to let the orchid make steamed vegetables at night to eat.

Of course, Wang Manyin is purely fresh, and many families in the village are completely cooking.

In terms of the use of ingredients, the mother-in-law and aunts of the jar village have brought their cleverness to the extreme. In addition to making steamed vegetables with acacia flower noodles, it can also be made into vegetable dumplings, vegetable boxes, and vegetable cakes.

Even blanch it in a pot of boiling water, sprinkle some chopped green onions with salty salt, and drop a few drops of sesame oil, and it is a delicious cold dish.

Wang Manyin has seen the sorghum noodle vegetable dumplings eaten by hairy eggs, which are black and red after steaming, and then mixed with acacia flowers, the color is simply indescribable.

But for the people in the village, it doesn't matter if it's ugly, as long as they can eat enough.

The blooming of acacia flowers means that many people will save a lot of food in the future, and they will be almost inseparable from three meals a day.

If you change to Wang Manyin, you will definitely vomit.

Generally, the acacia flowers that grow on the sunny slope of the plateau bloom a week earlier, and then the bottom of the cliff and ditch is the next. Intermittently, the flowering period can last for more than half a month.

After eating acacia flowers and holding on for a while, it's almost time to harvest peas and lentils. Harvest lentils and winter wheat...... When we eat new food, the spring famine of the year will be completely over.

In the summer, there is more to eat in the fields. Amaranth, marry, pork hair, cabbage, mountain leek, wild garlic and so on.

Just dig a basket, and the family can deal with it.

After a few more months, it was time to harvest the autumn crops.

The suffering people of the Loess Plateau, like the crops they planted themselves, stubble after stubble, stubbornly survived spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Whether you are hungry or full, you will always reproduce.

The acacia tree at the door of Wang Manyin's house has a thick tile pot, I don't know if it is the reason why it has been watered several times, but it has grown particularly lush this year.

After cutting a large pile of branches with ease, he kept the orchids and busied himself to the construction site.

As soon as I arrived at the earthen dam, I saw Wang Lianshun talking with people with excitement on his face.

At this moment, seeing that the laborers of the second team were almost all together, he cleared his throat and said, "Don't work yet, and tell you good news, this year's Shibi Festival Commune's return grain has finally come down. If there is a shortage of food at home, go to the accountant as soon as possible to report it. Forget those who are not short of food."

"Uncle Lian Shun, you're not talking nonsense, which family in our village is not short of food."

"That's it, if it weren't for the little bit of scum that Manyin bought, my family would have been cut off last month......

"When to get it, we have to go early, don't be like last year, we can't get good food late."

The members of the entire construction site were boiling and talking.

Wang Mingqiang, who was originally standing in the crowd, opened his mouth, but did not say anything. He just silently stepped aside, his head drooping.

The resale of grain is particular, and with his family's ingredients, he is not qualified to eat it at all.

"Be quiet, listen to what I have to say," Wang Lianshun shouted loudly again when he saw that the scene was chaotic. Z.br>

"Last year, because of the queue in the grain station compound, two villages broke their heads. This year, I deliberately explained that I would not let everyone go to the grain station in a swarm. Take the production team as a unit to bring back the grain, and then we will divide it ourselves. According to last year's year-end settlement, the second team can receive 28 and a half pounds per person. There is red

Dried potatoes, sorghum flour, wheat bran, the price is also different, at noon after work, each family to discuss what kind of food they want, to the rich to report. If there is a shortage of money, the team will pay in advance, and the year-end dividend will be deducted......

Wang Lianshun held a meeting simply and neatly, without shouting too many slogans, and settled the matter in a few words.

Is it enough, three hundred and six.

The so-called resale of grain is actually to make up the rations of the members according to this standard.

This is one of the reasons why many production teams in the south choose to conceal their grain production. Over-reporting and over-payment of grain, under-reporting and under-payment of grain, not enough can still eat resold grain.

However, if you want to do this, you must first hide it from the cadres stationed in the village.

With the conditions of Wang Manyin's family, there is naturally no shortage of dozens of catties of grain. However, he didn't plan to be special, and he also signed up with the trend.

Strictly speaking, Wang Manyin belongs to the category of people who take advantage. Last year, he didn't even join the production team, and he didn't make any contribution to the delivery of surplus grain.

Because of the matter of returning grain, the atmosphere of everyone's work was much warmer, and they were talking about it all morning.

After eating at noon, a group of people gathered around Wang Fugui to report the account.

Wang Manyin was bored, so he leaned over and looked at the statistics sheet.

Not surprisingly, most people choose to buy wheat bran. Because this thing is the cheapest, a penny a pound.

There are also some members who buy dried sweet potatoes, which cost eight cents a catty, but more than two yuan. Sorghum noodles are more expensive, costing a dime a catty, and fewer people choose them.

In fact, the price of resale grain is really not expensive, but the people in the jar village are used to saving and want to buy cheap ones.

Wang Manyin also chose wheat bran. Even if the two of them don't eat, they can keep it at home and make a show.

As soon as it was too late, when the list was counted, Wang Lian sent a few people to take a walk-behind tractor to the grain station to pull grain, and Wang Manyin was among them.

As a result, when they arrived at the grain station, they found that they had come a little late.

The members of the villages pulled the carts and almost completely blocked the entire grain station compound.

Helpless, Wang Fugui had to let everyone wait outside, and he first took the collective resale grain book to register.

Wang Manyin was chatting with a few people, when he suddenly heard someone behind him calling his brother-in-law.

"Shao'an, why are you here, you didn't go to work today?" Seeing the person coming, he asked with some surprise.

"I'm on duty, and I heard that the grain station will distribute repatriate grain in the afternoon, thinking that you might come over." Shao'an replied, smiling and greeting the others in the Jar Village.

Looking at his brother-in-law's expression, Wang Manyin knew what was wrong. He gave Liu Xiangyang an explanation and walked away with the other party.

"Brother-in-law, have you told the village about the promotion of new fungus fertilizer?" There are no outsiders, Shao'an directly explained his intentions.

"Say hello early, you can go at any time. But what's going on your side, can you do it?" Wang Manyin asked in a low voice.

The last time my brother-in-law came to the door, he made it very clear that the qualified rate of strains produced by the bacterial fertilizer factory of the supply and marketing cooperatives was very low, and there was no way to apply them on a large scale.

"It's okay, if I do it, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Didn't you say that you need a sterile environment, and it's easy to contaminate?" Seeing that his brother-in-law's tone had changed, Wang Manyin asked curiously.

"We have recently improved our processes and equipment, and our success rate has increased considerably...... You know how much effort it takes to successfully breed a stable culture. I asked someone to go to the county seat to buy agar, and I ordered aseptic boxes and sulfur. In addition, the temperature in the inoculation room had to be kept constant, and it was so hot and airtight that I almost fainted inside for hours on end......

Speaking of this, Shao'an quietly poured a few words of bitter water.

He has a natural resilience in his personality that does not admit defeat, and since he chooses to do things, he wants to do things well. After many failures, I did find some experience.

Because of this, he dared to find his brother-in-law.

"Isn't that a good thing, why are you still sad?"

"According to the plan of the supply and marketing cooperative, this thing should be promoted and applied in various villages, and we also trained a group of technicians...... I'm afraid that a sterile environment alone will stump a lot of people."

"Bigger

When mass production of bacterial fertilizer, bran powder is also used as nourishment, at least ten catties per acre. Which production team would be willing to use it like that?"

This is also one of the reasons why Shao'an is worried.

In a word, the new bacterial fertilizer is indeed a good technology, and if the production environment meets the standard, it will definitely be no problem to promote the increase of grain production.

The technical level of the key members is not up to it, and in the end, it takes a lot of effort and effort, and it is just a blind busy.

Especially bran...... This is what people eat, and it is in the resale grain that has just been distributed by the grain station.

If the production team below hears that they use bran to make fungus fertilizer, they will definitely be scolded for being a loser.

"Take your time and try to get results in our village, and it may be easier to promote." Wang Manyin could only be so comforted.

He came from later generations, and naturally knew that a sterile environment alone was not something that the current rural production team could do.

"I'm still confident in this, we have done experiments before, and the comparison effect of plants with bacterial fertilizer is quite obvious."

"That's good"

After confirming the time with his brother-in-law, Wang Manyin returned.

There are more than 50 households in the second team, and this time they received more than 8,000 catties of grain for sale.

In the past, it was pulled by a donkey cart, and it took at least one day to toss. Now there are walk-behind tractors, which is much more convenient. Liu Xiangyang drove four round-trips, and by the time it got dark, he had already transported all the returned grain back to the breeding room compound.

The people who got the news surrounded the entire compound without eating.

Seeing this posture, Wang Lianshun did not plan to keep the food overnight, and directly ordered everyone to line up to receive the food.

"Uncle Lian Shun, I have a lot of labor at home and a lot of food, can you have more points? I have heard that there are villages that are divided according to labor." Before the score was opened, Wang Junxiang had already shouted.

Hearing this, the eyes of many laborers lit up.

They feel that it is unfair to divide according to the head, and let the children take advantage of the more. I worked hard in the production team every day, and finally got the same share, which is really unreasonable.

However, Wang Lianshun did not waver in the slightest, and directly shook his head and refused: "The resale of grain will be divided according to the head, and if your family gets one more catty, others will have one catty less." It's all a production team, so you can't watch people starve, right?"

It can't be helped, the collective thing is so troublesome. Especially when it comes to food, quarrels and fights are common.

However, Wang Lianshun tried his best to level the bowl of water, and his prestige was not erected in a day.

At this moment, although some people are unwilling, they no longer shout.
