Chapter 67: The Summer Solstice
On the way back, they really pulled a lot of cloth and cotton and loaded a cart full of cotton.
With Zhou Zhengan coming forward, Director Wang naturally agreed without saying a word, of course, it can be regarded as a special care for their task of making quilts, quilts are relatively easy to make compared to cotton coats, and both men and women can make them.
Xia Zhi bought a lot of needles, and went back to make quilts with big needles.
And thimbles.
This task is actually much simpler, much easier than making a cotton coat.
Xia Zhi also knew that they were stained with Zhou Zhengan's light.
And this time to buy vegetables, Director Wang also deliberately sold them more.
The price is indeed much cheaper than outside, and a penny of cabbage is here with Director Wang, 15 catties a dime.
They are given directly to them at wholesale prices.
Xia Zhi gritted his teeth and reserved a little more for everyone.
Especially when I saw the vegetable warehouse behind, there were a lot of cabbages in the outside, and the gangs were picked up and piled up.
Seeing that the staff was ready to take a shovel and dump these shovels into the garbage heap, Xia Zhi still couldn't hold back.
In the end, the vegetable gangsters were packed with three sacks and thrown all of them into their cars.
The summer solstice also bought a lot of coarse salt.
Don't dislike these vegetable gangs, they still have a long time to go this winter.
Often, the food will be cut off, and a period is a month, two months off.
Xia Zhi is more experienced than other educated youth, and these vegetable gangs don't seem to be very good, but they just need to be washed when they go back.
If you pickle cabbage, you can actually eat it for a long time.
It's better than no vegetables, and it's impossible to eat fresh vegetables from time to time these days, and it's already a skill to have this kind of pickles.
The summer solstice also carried a water tank.
This jar cost 8 yuan on the summer solstice.
The summer solstice is distressed enough.
But for pickled cabbage, I can only buy it back.
Zhou Zhengan didn't know what to do on the summer solstice, but he felt a little sorry for him in his heart, he didn't know that the days of the summer solstice were so difficult, and he even had to pick up the cabbage gang that people didn't want.
No wonder Xia Solstice wants to take on these jobs.
Zhou Zhengan decided to go back and see what could help with the summer solstice.
On the way back, I could feel that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the wind was blowing fiercely.
The little comrade who was driving couldn't help but say.
"Captain, thanks to Comrade Xiao Xia for thinking of this method this time, otherwise we would have just rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative.
It's too hard to go back.
A heavy snowfall might have to lock us here. ”
The main thing is that everyone secretly rejoices that this time they brought back too much, and they brought at least a month's worth of food.
They are not afraid of being blocked, but what they are most afraid of is that there is no one to help with logistics, and then the comrades will have to cut off the food.
"Yes, thanks to Xiao Xia's ingenuity and ingenuity, otherwise, we would be really in trouble this time."
Soon it began to snow, and when they rushed back to the brigade in the reclamation area, the snow was already falling heavily, and it was heavy snow outside.
When the car drove into their compound, all the little comrades came out to help.
When they saw the snow, they were actually panicking, mainly because they were afraid that their comrades would be in danger on the road.
Seeing the car arrive at this time, everyone is naturally happy, after all, it is very convenient to get here.
Naturally, the things they know are that they go back to call people on the summer solstice and move their own things back.
The big vat of the summer solstice, as well as the three sacks of cabbage leaves, were sent to the ground by Zhou Zhengan and a few people to help the summer solstice.
The nest was not big in the first place, and the three sacks, cabbage leaves and vat filled it all in one fell swoop.
Liu Zhiyan was a little dazed when she saw it, and she didn't know what was going on with the summer solstice.
The intellectuals took all their things and dishes.
Liu Haidong looked at the sacks and vats and asked curiously.
"Xiao Xia, what are you going to do here?"
"Of course, it's pickled vegetables, pickled cabbage is easy to preserve, and it can be eaten at any time in a winter, it's better than no vegetables at that time."
As soon as he heard this, Liu Haidong immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and several male intellectuals next to him were also a little envious when they heard this.
"Xiao Xia, otherwise you can teach us how to pickle sauerkraut, this cabbage is not easy to preserve. If you have sauerkraut, you can satisfy your cravings in winter. ”
"Okay, then you all come over and help, while the snow isn't heavy. Help me fetch a little more water and come back, let's make a fire, and I'll teach you how to pickle sauerkraut. ”
The summer solstice is not hidden, and gay men are willing to learn, and they don't say that they want to eat ready-made, which is a huge progress.
These three sacks of cabbage leaves really ended up flooding a jar of sauerkraut.
Everyone was very happy to see the results, and ran back to their own nest to pickle sauerkraut. Although they brought back a lot of cabbage, the storage time of cabbage in the ground is indeed short, and it is not as good as sauerkraut to eat.
In the evening, after they finished dinner, Xia Zhi went to Diwozi to contact these people who were familiar with him.
Let's have a meeting, although the ground is small.
As soon as there are many people, it is crowded, but after all, it brings back a sum of income for everyone.
And I have to solicit everyone's opinions, and the number they bring back this time is limited.
And it's one thing whether the male intellectuals are willing to do it or not, but Xia Zhi has a bottom in his heart, even if the male intellectuals are unwilling to do it, there is no problem with the craftsmanship of their female comrades.
It's a big deal, they earn it themselves.
When Xia Zhi said this, whether it was a male intellectual, a female intellectual, he was in good spirits when he heard it.
Every day in the nest of the ground, in fact, either sleeping or sitting, this place is dark and numb, impermeable, just a small piece of glass on it, if it snows.
It's dark up there, and if you don't turn on the lights in the room, it's like sitting in a dungeon.
There was no entertainment at all, no newspapers, no books, and occasionally the few books they brought with them were about to be turned over.
Sometimes a few acquaintances can get together to play poker.
In addition to gossiping with the person next to me, it's really boring and has nothing to do.
Making quilts is a challenge for them, but it's better than being idle.
Not only do you have something to do, but you can also earn money.
It's a win-win-
Everyone unanimously agreed, even the male intellectuals were excited to rub their hands and let the female intellectuals teach them to make quilts.
Whether you can eat meat during the Chinese New Year this year depends on the quilts they made this winter.
Outside, the snow was falling, and the north wind was howling, but the people in the nest were burning at this moment.
After the meeting, everyone went back to their homes.
The next morning, the summer solstice was the same as the last time, calling them out to clear the snow from house to house.
Feng Xizhu and the eight of them still ignored them on the summer solstice.
After they finished clearing the snow, the male intellectuals had already gathered into the nests of the female intellectuals.
There are too many people in one nest, and no one can see clearly.
So what they discussed was that the female intellectuals also made quilts in their own nests.
Send two male intellectuals to observe and learn to help the handle.
