Everyone ate to their heart's content, finished eating, rested for a while, and began to peel corn husks on the threshing floor.

Usually, everyone is so tired that they can't straighten their waists until ten o'clock, but today they are full of food and drink, and they are still in good spirits until eleven o'clock.

There is a shortage of labor in the village, and the old branch secretary can only use this method to encourage everyone to work more.

A year of hard work is waiting for this season.

Take advantage of the good weather to get the food back as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, the grain will rain and spoil the grain, and there may be a famine.

The old branch secretary smiled, "Okay, let's go back and rest early." I'm going to get up early tomorrow to work! ”

"Old branch secretary, if you can eat meat every day, you can not sleep." Hu Jianguo, the representative of the educated youth in the village, said with a smile.

"Yes, old branch secretary, anyway, eating for the New Year is about the same as eating now, so you can give us more meat."

Everyone strives for it, and only when they eat nutritious things can their bodies have strength.

The old branch secretary thought about it and felt that it made sense.

In winter, it is okay to eat less meat, but today's labor intensity is much higher than before, and it is indeed necessary to supplement the nutrition of the members.

Song Lanyue leaned over and smiled, "Old branch secretary, we will sell oyster mushrooms for a lot of money this year, and when the time comes, everyone will have plenty of money and can buy some other things." In addition, there are so many pigs in the pig farm, and during the Chinese New Year, even if there are fewer pigs, there will be more than last year. ”

The old branch secretary thought for a while, "Okay, during the autumn harvest." Tomorrow morning, the pigs will be killed, and the meat will be distributed at the village committee at noon. ”

When the crowd heard this, they cheered, "Great, you can eat all you can eat meat." ”

Sixty or seventy households, according to the number of heads, the number of adults and children is not the same, but it is very fair.

"It's still what I said before, kill a pig every other day, divide pork, and fry it with beans and green beans in the vegetable garden, or oyster mushrooms, which are particularly delicious."

"Remember, the meat has to be eaten on the same day, and when it's hot, the meat is left for a long time, which will make you upset and delay your work. Fat meat refining oil, put a little more salt in it, you can put it for a longer time, used for stir-frying, the taste is very good. I've memorized it all, don't eat a bad stomach. ”

"Got it, old branch secretary." Everyone smiled and responded, especially looking forward to tomorrow's meat.

The next morning, they all received the solidified lard.

Stir-fry vegetables with lard, but it is fragrant.

Even with the thick noodles, it tastes better than usual.

Everyone is more motivated.

When the meat was divided at noon, Song Lanyue went home with two catties of meat and a pig's foot.

All the fat meat is cut off, the lard is boiled out, and the oil residue is kept for eating at night, and I will eat fried pork with green beans at noon today.

"Master, eat meat." Song Lanyue urged the master to eat meat.

Doctor Wang smiled, "I'm sorting out medicinal materials here in the health center, I'm not tired, you and Han Zhi are not idle from morning to night, work is so tiring, eat more." ”

Song Lanyue hurriedly sandwiched a few pieces of meat for the master, "Today's meat is more than a catty, enough for the three of us to eat, and the green beans that have absorbed the soup are also very delicious." ”

Han Zhi also smiled, "Doctor Wang, the old branch secretary said that if we kill a pig every other day, we will be able to eat meat often in the future." ”

Dr. Wang was pleased, "Okay, then I'll eat, and you can eat too." ”

Happiness is as simple as that.

After eating, Song Lanyue blanched the minced pig's feet, then fried them with pork, then poured water to stew, and poured the soaked soybeans into it.

The fire burned for about twenty minutes, then the stove was covered with tiles, and there was still a simmer inside, and the simmer continued.

In the evening, there were soybean stewed pig's trotters to eat.

The members who were allocated pork, went home to fry meat and stew, and the villagers who were full of food and drink were in good spirits and worked harder.

Tens of thousands of acres of corn fields used to take half a month to recover, but this year all of them were transported from the fields to the threshing floor in 10 days.

At this time, the hand-cranked corn thresher that Han Zhi made came in handy.

The corn cob, which has been dried to the brim, is put in and shaken a little harder, and the corn kernels fall off, leaving only the corn cob.

These corn cobs are all good things, whether they are used as fermented feed or mushroom packets, they are very good.

Women thresh corn cobs in the threshing floor, from morning to night.

However, this year, there is a hand-cranked corn thresher, so you don't need to use a hand buckle like before, and the efficiency is much improved.

The sun-dried corn is packed in sacks and sent to the granary. After the autumn harvest and the task grain is handed in, the remaining grain can be distributed to the villagers.

Tens of thousands of acres of corn, because there is no chemical fertilizer, in fact, the yield is not high. Song Lanyue made a special statistics, there is no chemical fertilizer, but you can use fermented farm fertilizer.

When the autumn harvest is over, she strongly recommends using a tractor to plough the land to get the corn roots out and then put the fermented fertilizer into the ground.

Next spring, the fertility of these lands will increase considerably.

A part of the strong laborers harvested nearly 600 acres of paddy fields in the village, and the cut rice was bundled together and erected in the fields to expose to the sun.

By the time all the corn had been loaded into the granary, the strong laborers had already sent the rice to the threshing floor.

There is no rice threshing machine, so it can only be put on the ground, and the donkey pulls the stone mill around the threshing floor covered with rice ears.

If there are not enough donkeys, there will be manpower, and several people will pull the stone grinder together, shouting the trumpet, and some rice will be beaten with a stick on the rice stalk.

Han Zhi has been thinking about the rice thresher these days, and it has been formed, but because of the autumn harvest, it can only be put down temporarily.

After the autumn harvest is over, he will find a way to use the threshing machine he made when the autumn harvest next year comes.

Hundreds of acres of rice have been busy for more than ten days, and then there are hundreds of acres of sugar beets that have been cleared.

Harvest sugar beet, the speed is relatively fast, bend down and pull it out directly from the ground, beet pimple and beet leaves are separated, and after drying, it can be used as green fodder to feed cattle and sheep to feed pigs.

There were two rains in the middle, but fortunately it was not big, and it stopped after a while, and the impact was not great.

Because hundreds of acres of land have been opened up this year, the beets do not grow very well and are small, but don't hand in the task, all of them are from the village, and they are also very considerable.

There are piles of grain everywhere in the village, there are too many of them to hold.

After the autumn harvest was over, the old branch secretary began to organize the strong laborers in the village and hand over the public grain.

Song Lanyue found the old branch secretary in private and said what she thought.

She really didn't want to go hungry and wanted to have a full meal.

"Old branch secretary, this year, we will pay public grain, and only pay requisitioned grain, which is stipulated by the state. This year, our village is not short of money, so don't sell it if you buy grain. ”

"Let's sell it to the grain station cheaply, and when there is no food, we can buy it back, the price is half as expensive, and it is completely unnecessary."

The old branch secretary took a puff of dry tobacco and smiled, "I think so too." This year, I told everyone all day long that I would work hard and have enough to eat. If you sell more grain, you will receive less grain, and you will not have enough to eat. ”

"Even if you get the money, you can spend money to buy food, and this time and again, it will add trouble and spend more money."
