Liu Xiangyang went back to Jar Village this time, and brought Wang Manyin two canned braised pork in an iron box, which were quietly delivered at night.

For today's farmers, canned food is also a high-end product, which cannot be bought with money, and must be purchased in limited quantities with tickets. At present, the supply and marketing cooperatives sell canned fruits, including apples, pears, peaches, apricots, hawthorns, etc., and the price is not cheap, a can is about eight cents.

When it was cold last year, Wang Manyin bought orchids a few times. The taste is okay, it tastes sweet and sour.

That's all, he mainly eats feelings.

In comparison, it is far inferior to the melons and fruits produced in space.

As for canned meat, it is mainly used for export in this era, and the variety is very rich. There are steamed pork, luncheon meat, braised beef,

Boneless chicken, tempeh dace and so on.

However, whether in later generations or now, Wang Manyin is the first time to eat it. The main thing is that in the era in which he lived, all kinds of materials were too abundant. Coupled with the rumors that canned food contains preservatives, few people enjoy eating this stuff.

Wang Manyin kept one box at home, and the other box was ready for Shao'an to take back and give his old father-in-law's family a taste.

Two days after returning to the village, the educated youths officially began to move into the newly repaired cave.

The three-hole cave took about four months, and even the doors and windows were just installed a few days ago.

Just as Wang Manyin guessed, Wang Lianshun and Wang Fugui calculated the accounts clearly, and there was not a single dime left for the educated youth's settlement fee.

With the return of the educated youth, the labor force of the second team was abundant again, and the entire Dongshanshan Pass construction site became lively.

In just over 20 days, the foundation of the earth-rock dam was completed.

At the same time as the silt dam in Jarzi Village, other work was also not delayed. In the morning, Wang Manyin was just about to go to the construction site to report, when he saw Wang Fugui and Wang Junxiang carrying a ladder on the dirt road in front of their homes.

"Brother Fugui, are you preparing to refresh the slogan?" Noticing the tools they were holding, Wang Manyin immediately guessed the purpose.

In other words, Zhao Jianhai can't do other things, and the publicity is really good. He has been stationed in the village for more than a year, and there are many slogans in the village, all kinds of things.

Of course, Zhao Jianhai mainly plans with his mouth, which is implemented by Wang Fugui, after all, his calligraphy is good.

Hearing the question, the other party nodded and said: "The notice of the commune meeting has just come out, so that all members of the commune know the benefits of raising pigs, and twenty new pig raising slogans have been added in each village, and someone will come to check them in a few days." I think that your cave is at the entrance of the village, it is very conspicuous, and you must write a big one! Full silver, I specially picked one for you to be energetic, 'let each sow have more children and grandchildren'. How does it feel? In the future, your pig breeding will definitely prosper. ”

Not so good! Wang Manyin couldn't cry or laugh, and suddenly it sounded like a curse.

"Brother Fugui, I'll see what slogans you remember, choose one yourself." Wang Manyin saw that the other party was holding a piece of letter paper in his hand, and stretched out his hand to come over to check it.

Well, the slogans are very characteristic of the times.

"Carry out a competition for sows to stay, mate, and live with high yields"

"There are no pigs that can't raise pigs, only people who can't raise pigs"

"Literacy is not separated from books, farming is inseparable from pigs"

"Bathe the pigs in the summer, lay grass for the pigs in the winter......"

Wang Manyin read it and picked out the simplest slogan: "There are many benefits of raising pigs."

That's good, at least it doesn't cause ambiguity.

He did not refuse to write slogans on the face of his own cliff. That's a good thing, as brushing a layer of white lime will make the cliff face look smoother and reduce dust shedding.

After choosing the slogan, he was just about to leave, but was stopped by Wang Fugui.

"Man Yin, you can't go, what if we wait for the rhubarb to bite us?"

Wang Fugui clearly knows that this guy Rhubarb usually only recognizes the master. Without Wang Manyin present, it would be impossible for several people to stay on the sidelines of his house.

At the last village meeting, Wang Manchu mentioned that this year's task is heavy, and the number of pigs raised in the village must be doubled. Of course, the same is true for other villages.

In addition, regarding pig raising, there have been many meetings in Jar Village over the years. There are mobilization meetings, mobilization meetings, and pledge meetings...... Commendation meeting, experience exchange meeting.

And when Wang Manyin went to the food station to buy large intestines, he also talked about the veterinarians at the commune veterinary station. The other party shouted an exciting slogan: "Ensure that all sows in the commune will have 12 litters within the year." ”

Wang Fugui also mentioned this matter, and he asked curiously: "Man Yin, when I went to the meeting, I heard from the veterinarian that there will be no need for boar breeding in the future, and manual ...... will be used It won't really be like Shang Zhimin said, to build a 'seed station', right? ”

Wang Junxiang, who was helping to escalate the ladder next to him, smiled and said: "Then you have to tie the old sow, this thing is different from people, in case you are busy, turn around and bite it will be over." ”

"You said it's just the veterinarian's little body, can you do it?" Wang Fugui also asked very gossipy.

Wang Junxiang picked up the conversation again: "You can't expect a veterinarian to be alone, even if there are two old sows in each village, there are dozens of them, this thing can't be conceived at one time, and the veterinarian will definitely be too busy." ”

The more Wang Manyin listened, the more speechless he became. He originally planned to explain to the two of them what this "artificial" meant, but after thinking about it, everyone would naturally be able to understand when the veterinarian came to the village.

Wang Manyin's family is also preparing to raise pigs this year. I have discussed with Orchid before, and I plan to buy piglets when it is warm in April and May, so that it is easy to feed.

But after this incident, he felt that he should start in advance.

This year, the county subsidized more than 100 catties of feed for each pig farmer, and everyone's enthusiasm must be very high.

Of course, things are not rushed.

It's just the beginning of the new month, and the weather is still very cold, and the temperature is a few degrees below zero at night.

Even if there is space for water, Wang Manyin does not dare to guarantee that he can feed the piglets, so he will wait for half a month.

***

It was just getting dark, and the village horn sounded.

Suddenly hearing this voice, Wang Manyin felt a little like he hadn't felt for a long time. Since Zhao Jianhai left, there has been no general meeting of all members for a while.

After everyone entered the courtyard of the breeding room, they immediately felt that this time was different, and there was a middle-aged man with a dark face and a scruffy beard, probably in his thirties, wearing a tunic with patches. This appearance suddenly looked like it was not much different from the members of the village.

However, the other party has a pen in the front pocket of his jacket, which shows that his identity is not simple, at least he is a cultural person.

Wang Manyin was guessing, when he heard Wang Xiuzeng knock on the microphone, and then shouted loudly: "Everyone be quiet, before today's meeting, I will introduce to the members Bai Mingchuan, the new resident cadre of our Jar Village, and everyone applauds and welcomes ......."

After speaking, he took the lead in clapping.

Then, there was a burst of voices from below.

Bai Mingchuan?

Hearing this name, Wang Manyin instinctively felt familiar.

I saw the middle-aged man on the stage get up, saluted everyone, and then introduced loudly: "Hello everyone, members of Jar Village." My name is Bai Mingchuan and I am twenty-five years old......"

Really fake, only twenty-five, not a few years older than himself?

Wang Manyin looked at the other party in surprise, this looked anxious enough.

But after listening to the other party's introduction, he finally understood why he felt familiar.

In the original book, Bai Mingchuan appears quite frequently.

I had the impression that the other party seemed to have returned to his hometown to work after graduating from high school, and then he was recruited to work in the county...... Wang Manyin can't remember more experiences clearly, but he only knows that a few years later, Bai Mingchuan became the director of the Shibijie Commune.

The predecessor was arrested for selling rat poison and engaged in infrastructure construction, but it was Tian Runyeqiu's uncle who wrote a letter to Bai Mingchuan and was able to get out safely.

There is another point: Bai Mingchuan, like Tian Fujun, is the son of a farmer. So they understand the minds of the suffering people better, and they have their own ideas about some things.

Judging from what Bai Mingchuan did later, as long as he could resist it, he tried his best to resist it, or took more gentle means to solve it.

The brother-in-law Sun Shao'an was able to get out safely by secretly expanding his own land, which also had Bai Mingchuan's credit.

And Bai Mingchuan's career is also very good, and he finally became the number one in the county.

Of course, Wang Manyin didn't plan to stick to others on the pole, so let's see the situation first.

If the other party is really like the one described in the book, it will definitely be a blessing for the members of the Jar Village, and it will become easier to do many things in the future.

After introducing himself, Bai Mingchuan's speech also began with a slogan. But if you listen carefully, there is still a difference with Director Zhao.

Even Wang Shouchang next to him couldn't help nodding: "It's okay to speak in this posterity, it's more real than Zhao Jianhai." ”

Soon, the people in the village found out that Bai Mingchuan was indeed different from Zhao Jianhai, and he was no worse than other sufferers in doing farm work. When picking up the head and digging the dung, I am also willing to exert my strength, and I don't dislike it when I smell and bake all over my body.

And the other party did not stay at the brigade headquarters to eat small stoves, and insisted on going to each house to eat pie meals. The main family does what they eat, and they are not picky eaters at all. Food stamps and money will be left after the meal.

As for Zhao Jianhai, there is also the latest news. After a period of study, he is now transferred to Dazhuang River Village.

In just a few days, the people in the village had a good impression of Bai Mingchuan.

Not to mention other people, Wang Manyin's impression is also very good.

Two days ago, when the blasting team blew up stones, Bai Mingchuan also followed.

As usual, everyone ran dozens of meters away to take shelter after lighting the fire.

For them, the distance was safe, and there had been no accidents so many times before. Even if there are occasional small fragments of small stones splashing over, they basically fall more than ten meters away.

As a result, the evil sect, I don't know if the explosives were filled too much or how to drop, a basketball-sized stone actually collapsed and flew dozens of meters away, and smashed straight down towards the place where Wang Qingming was hiding.

Bai Mingchuan's eyes were quick, and he directly pushed Wang Qingming out with one lunge.

Then the stone fell to the ground with a bang and smashed into pieces.

The others reacted and broke out in a cold sweat one by one.

This stone rolled down from a cliff wall dozens of meters high, and the lethality can be imagined. If Wang Qingming is really hit, he will be seriously injured if he does not die.

After this incident, the people in the village were full of praise for Bai Mingchuan.

However, this goodwill did not last long.

At the second meeting, Bai Mingchuan talked about this year's farming plan for Jarzi Village. According to the requirements of the Commune, he was ready to vigorously promote the "two miscellaneous" and "two potatoes". The so-called "two hybrids" are hybrid sorghum and hybrid corn. "Two potatoes" refers to sweet potatoes and potatoes.

The fields in the jar village are constant, and there are too many of these four crops, and the corresponding other crops have to reduce the cultivated area.

In addition, Bai Mingchuan also mentioned that when planting sweet potatoes, it is necessary to promote new technologies ...... "sweet potatoes are rich in eggs"!

According to him, this is an advanced experience in the field.

"Sweet potatoes lay eggs, and the yield per mu is more than 10,000", and the yield is very high.

Many fields on the Loess Plateau have serious soil erosion, so soil fertility is low. Moreover, long-term cultivation has caused too many pests and diseases, so that the yield of crops is not high.

For such land, it should be "cut down and filled, high and low, and fertile soil to create land".

In understandable words, the topsoil is removed, 90 centimeters deep pits are dug downward, fermented farm manure is poured in, and then the surface is covered with a layer of raw soil...... This is known as the Harvest Recipe.

Each square is one meter long and one meter wide, with deep trenches dug in the middle to resemble a flat-topped pyramid. The benefits of this are many, as it keeps the soil loose, ventilated and light-transmitting, and makes it easier for sweet potatoes to take root and swell.

In addition, there are also requirements for planting sweet potatoes: you can no longer plant seedlings like in previous years, but directly plant the whole sweet potato in the high-yield recipe.

This not only saves seedling time, but also increases the growth rate of sweet potato vines.

After the sweet potatoes have taken root and sprouted, the surrounding soil layer is removed and half of it is left in the ground. In this way, the roots can produce a lot of sweet potatoes, with a yield of more than 10,000 per mu.

Is it so amazing?

Hearing Bai Mingchuan's description of the bright prospects, Wang Manyin didn't know how to describe it. He now believes in one thing: as long as there is no popular farming experience in later generations, there are more or less flaws.

According to this method, at least a few hundred catties of sweet potatoes should be buried in one acre of land. The second team of Jar Village watered the land with good water last year, and the yield of sweet potatoes per mu was only more than 2,000 catties. Count, at least a quarter of the seed.

If there is dry weather, it is equivalent to throwing hundreds of pounds of sweet potatoes in vain.

This account is very simple, not only can he calculate, but the other members are also like Spiegel. However, no one said a word at the meeting, and one by one fell silent.

But it's still the same sentence, for all kinds of fresh experiences, now the people of Jar Village have ideas in their hearts.

After the meeting, Wang Lianshun followed Wang Manyin and walked outside.

When he got to a place where there was no one, he muttered in a low voice: "I've seen it out of sight, this Bai Mingchuan is no different from Zhao Jianhai, and it has only been a few days before his tail is exposed." ”

As he spoke, he kept shaking his head.

Regarding what Bai Mingchuan did in Jar Village, Wang Lianshun also sees it these days.

turned out to be cold, and came out like this, and Zhao Jianhai made a copy of it.

If, as Bai Mingchuan said, the second team vigorously promotes the bumper production side, and all the members of the company have to be busy in the field, it will be difficult to complete the second earth-rock dam this spring.

The point is, he always feels that this matter is unreliable.

"There are so many new things now, and I don't know how to plant the land that I have planted all my life. Manyin, what do you say we should do? Wang Lianshun asked again.

From the bottom of his heart, he really didn't want to toss around anymore.

"Uncle Lian Shun, why don't we go back and talk to Officer Bai now? I feel that he is still different from Zhao Jianhai, at least he knows how to farm. Wang Manyin thought for a while and said.
