Chapter 77, Repentance

The atmosphere was at a stalemate.

The old captain Zhao Zheng was also a little disheartened for a while, feeling that what he was doing was not worth it.

At this time, the militia captain Zhao Tiezhu spoke.

"In this way, those who are willing to believe in Uncle Nine will stand on one side, and those who don't believe in it will stand on the other side. If the people on the captain's side occupy the vast majority, then forget it, if it only occupies half of it, then the loss will be borne by our Zhao family. The grain came, and the people of our Zhao family divided it. ”

"Good! I'll see it! ”

Li Mingde, the accountant next to him, spoke, then looked at everyone and said: "There is still some money in the account, I think, it's really not good, according to the proportion, take out some money, and everyone can get food according to their ability." Does the partner agree? ”

As an accountant, he shouldn't have said that at this time.

But there are fewer and fewer people in the Li family who can speak, and if they don't support their uncle anymore, then the entire production team will be slowly eaten away by the Zhao family.

The meaning of tonight basically represents the future election.

As long as a new election is proposed after a while, the power of the production team will still return to the hands of their Li family.

"Hey, I think it's okay, how much money did the Zhao family take, how much money did we share, wouldn't this be enough?"

"yes, why don't you just do it!"

……

For a while, the Li family and other people with surnames spoke one after another, meaning that they no longer supported Zhao Zheng as the captain.

And the Zhao family's side also began to talk in a low voice.

"Just do it, although Grandpa Nine didn't say anything about food, but it is impossible for him to buy food that is more expensive than the black market, right?"

"yes, that's right."

"Yes, at most you can buy grain at the same price, and you don't suffer a loss, what is the price of grain now?"

……

After everyone figured it out, they were naturally the ones who supported their families, and with that little money, how much food could they buy!

Now the price of cornmeal in the black market in the city has risen to what price, and for this money, it would be good for one person to buy a pound of cornmeal.

After receiving the agreement, the crowd began to stand in line.

There were more than 600 people in total, one representative from one household, and about 100 people began to stand in line.

More than 40 of them occupied Captain Zhao's side, and they were basically all members of the Zhao family.

There are also a small number of people who are not from the Zhao family.

For example, Tian Mai's mother, after all, her daughter married into the Zhao family, so she is naturally oriented to the Zhao family.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for the daughter to be a person in the future.

The remaining sixty or so families naturally stood on Li Youtian's side.

Zhao Tiegen stood in the crowd on behalf of their family.

Zhao Chuanliang pondered for a while, and quietly began to evacuate from the crowd, preparing to discuss with the old man before.

Come to the head of the village, next to the grain pile.

After looking around, he quietly stomped on a pile of corn stalks next to him and set it on fire, not from the outside, but from the middle.

He had to buy himself time to run back.

The corn stalks are stacked upright, and the amount is not large at all, and three people can join hands to fence the stalks.

Seeing that the fire below was starting to ignite, he hurried towards the compound.

It's a little far away, and I can't see anything yet.

When he ran back to the vicinity of the compound in the dark, no one could find anything here.

At this time, it has been counted over there, and the per capita is 5 yuan, 1 cent, 9 cents, and 4 cents.

All you have to do is take out this same amount of money tomorrow and give it to the rest of the people, and that's it.

As for the position of captain, everyone understands in their hearts that they have nothing to do with Zhao Zheng.

"Hey, why is it so bright in the field?"

Someone on the periphery still saw the fire in the distance and said it.

It's a kid.

It didn't take long for the news to reach the compound.

Everyone frowned.

Zhao happened to see this, his eyes lit up, this was agreed with Liangzi, and the ignition was the number!

It means that near the fire, where the grain is placed.

He hurriedly stood up: "Tiezhu, quick, take someone over there to have a look, look around, the grain should be there." Go ahead, don't let the other production team see it. ”

Zhao Tiezhu, who hadn't spoken much before, hurriedly spoke: "Hey, okay, I'll go and take a look, Zhao family, go, go and have a look." ”

After saying that, he went out with the people.

And there was a group of children behind him, who went over to join in the fun.

Zhao Chuanliang saw that today's matter was so big, and then shook his head.

This is the first and last transaction of grain bricks, otherwise, it will really attract the pursuit of the above.

I was thinking that I could make a safe deal, so he left!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have made the grain so early.

The people in the courtyard saw that so many people had left, you look at me, I look at you, and for a while, my heart was itching.

You know, they heard that there was food coming.

"Or ...... Check it out......"

"yes, go check it out!"

"Go ......"

After saying that, everyone in the compound immediately ran outside, in the direction of the firelight.

At this time, there were not many people left in the compound.

There are also a few people in charge of the Li family, and there are some women.

Li Youtian frowned when he saw this.

Seeing this, Zhao happened to say to his daughter-in-law who had been worried next to him: "Old woman, go and bring the pot I prepared." ”

Seeing this, the old lady next to her hurriedly greeted her eldest grandson.

"Dafeng, you go back with your grandmother."

Zhao Chuanfeng was strange for a while, but he still agreed.

The rest of the people are still waiting there.

After waiting for about ten minutes, I saw the teams coming back from outside one after another.

Zhao Tiezhu came back with more than a dozen bricks and looked ugly for a while: "Uncle Jiu, there are only these bricks, no food." Have you been deceived. ”

The people of the Zhao family behind him were also depressed.

If they are really deceived, then not only will they have no food, but they will also lose their faces.

"What the hell is going on with Uncle Nine (Grandfather Nine)?"

Everyone asked one after another, with a hint of anxiety on their faces.

And the people next to him were also watching jokes for a while.

Zhao happened to take the brick and take advantage of the light of the torch, looked at it carefully, and looked around.

I came to the stairs and straightened it out.

"Smack!"

Two sections of the grain brick were broken.

I didn't dislike the ash on it, so I gnawed a little bit directly, but I didn't gnaw it, picked up the crumbs next to it and put it in my mouth to chew.

After a while, a smile appeared on his face.

Hurriedly said to Zhao Tiezhu: "Tiezhu, count it and see if it is 4,000 yuan, and one piece cannot be missing." ”

Zhao Tiezhu didn't know what he was selling, so he continued to ask, "Uncle, what's going on?" ”

"Let you count, how can there be so much nonsense."

Now that there are so many people, if anyone takes advantage of the chaos to take it, it will be a big loss.

And at this time the old lady came back with her grandson with a basin.

Zhao Zheng didn't speak, but put the basin aside, waiting for Zhao Tiezhu to gather all the bricks together.

The last few pieces were taken back in the hands of a few children.

"Uncle, a total of 4,000 yuan, no more than one piece and no less piece, uncle, tell me, what's going on?"

Can he not be in a hurry?

So much money, and all the face is lost.

Zhao happened to see this, so he said to everyone with his hands behind his back.

"Okay, let's try it, the things in this pot are made out of this brick, and one person will deduct a little less, that's all."

The basin he was pointing to was just now.

In fact, there are still a lot of things cooked from 4 catties of grain bricks, but there are too many people on the field, and if you want to eat too much, you will basically be gone.

Seeing this, Zhao Tiezhu and the others looked at the black paste in the pot curiously, and wondered what this was for a while.

But the uncle said it, and he gave it a try.

I clasped a little bit with my finger and put it in my mouth.

Chewed up.

After waiting for a while, his eyes lit up, and he said to the person next to him, "Boss, try it." ”

The person who was shouted was none other than Zhao Tieshan.

The other party also made a little bit of it strange and put it in his mouth.

Then his eyes lit up, and he beckoned the other family members to come and try it.

The more people who tried it, the more people turned out.

Strange noises began to be heard.

"Is this made of grain bricks?"

"What are you doing! It seems to smell like corn. ”

"And the taste of sweet potato noodles. But I taste like a cob, a cob, a mallet? ”

"yes, it's a bit of a squeeze, it's rice bran, right?"

……

Suddenly, you guessed the ingredients in it word by word.

This made Zhao Chuanliang secretly glad that the common people didn't know it, but they were not stupid, they had been dealing with grain for so many years, and they had eaten corn cobs and rice bran, and some people still ate them.

It's hard to fool!

Now it's up to Grandpa Nine to see if he can withstand it.

Fortunately, the old man and the old lady lived by themselves, not with their son and grandson, and avoided being seen.

Not only the Zhao family, but even the Li family, the Wang family, and some other people from the Sun family came to try it, and most of them could see that this was food, but they couldn't guess the ingredients.

Li Mingde naturally knew how much money he had taken, and then he would calculate it like this.

Suddenly surprised: "Captain, you bought this for three cents a piece?" It's less than a dime a pound! Where to buy it? ”

Zhao just ignored him, but said to Zhao Tiezhu and the others: "Okay, you divide the things according to each household, and when you go back, you will break them, check them and see if there is any problem." ”

Zhao Tiezhu thought for a while, but still said: "That's it, according to the head, one person will take five pieces first, check it on the spot, and then bring it back if there is no problem, don't pull out any problems when the time comes." If there is more, we will divide it tomorrow. ”

Hearing this, Zhao just nodded when he thought about it.

If it is confirmed that there is no problem with these grains, it just so happens that Zhao Chuanliang has not left, and there is no need to send a telegram.

"That's fine, it's divided according to five pieces per person."

Hearing the old captain's words, Zhao Tiezhu began to prepare to come over to receive grain bricks and inspect them on the spot according to the number of households.

"Hey, wait a minute, this can't be done! This is bought with the money of the production team, how can it be divided! ”

At this time, someone spoke, and it was a man with a foreign surname.

He also tasted it just now, and if it was really the same thing, it would be at least dozens of times better outside to be bought.

Cornmeal alone is how much a pound.

The money shared by one person is estimated to be the cost of a pound of cornmeal.
