Buckwheat, corn, sorghum?

Chen Fan walked to the broadcasting room with words in his mouth, turned on the radio first, and started playing on time.

Then he opened the drawer, took out the book "Rural Sideline Production Knowledge" he bought, and looked through the contents.

Last time, I asked Zhu Hao to buy 18 books, and I only had 3 medical books and a "Soil Method Pottery" after reading the whole book, and I only recently started to read "Rural Sideline Production Knowledge" and "Rural Common Breeding", which is also for the purpose of engaging in farms, and even "Building Technology" and "Soil Grass Pulp and Paper" have no time to focus on, let alone other books.

Now Ye Shubao asks him for help, whether it is true or joking, he has to show some attitude, whether there is a way or not, he has to give someone an answer.

Of course, there is a way to do the best, so that the relationship will be deeper.

Chen Fan first looked at the catalog to see if there were any projects that could make use of these grains.

There are "five industries" in rural areas, namely "agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, and sideline".

The first four are easy to understand, and the last "side hustle" has a wide range. That includes all rural productive undertakings except crops, forestry, animal husbandry and fisheries.

There is also a meaning, that is, the ancillary production of rural areas or peasants to serve agricultural production and people's lives. For example: transportation, gathering, fishing, hunting, processing of agricultural and sideline products, handicrafts and other ancillary production that is not part of agriculture.

In general, the breadth of side hustles is almost all-encompassing.

Of course, limited by the actual conditions, there are not many common rural side hustles. Grinding tofu, squeezing oil, boiling sugar, bamboo weaving, straw weaving, carpentry, and brewing are relatively common.

Brewing?

Chen Fan flipped to that page according to the table of contents and read the content carefully. The most common brewing products are vinegar, soy sauce and wine, buckwheat, corn, and sorghum are all materials that can be used to make wine.

He picked up the book and ran down, and when he arrived at the brigade office, he saw Captain Yang and the others walking out one by one.

Chen Fan was stunned, "How many leaders went out to inspect again?" ”

"Inspect the fart, get off the ground!"

Xiao Liewen turned to look at him, and then looked at the book in his hand, "What are you doing?" Don't know how to read? You don't know each other, and we definitely don't know anyone here, uh......, unless you go to find Fourth Master Lu. ”

Chen Fan smacked his lips, "You are also the deputy captain, you have attended a literacy class in the army, and you can also write calligraphy, can you show the appearance of a bit of a cultured person." ”

Xiao Liewen walked up to him, "I can't get along with 'cultural people' in this life." ”

Beckoning as he spoke, he took the book in his hand, "Let me see what this is, winemaking?" ”

He turned his head to look at Chen Fan, "You want to make wine?" ”

Chen Fan looked at Ye Shubao, "Didn't Captain Ye say that there are a lot of miscellaneous grains in the warehouse that can't be sold, so I think it's not bad to use those miscellaneous grains to make wine." I heard that the old Tang of Team 7 can make wine, so I asked him to use these to make wine, and then take it to the market to sell, not only can he process the miscellaneous grains, but also earn more income, killing two birds with one stone, how good. ”

Ye Shubao laughed twice, took out a cigarette he rolled and lit it, and said with a smile, "Old Tang and my team, you can think of this, can we think of it?"

Let me tell you, not only the old Tang can make wine, but there is also an old Hou in the 12th team who can also make wine, but their skills are not good, they can only use rice and wheat to make wine, and then they can make rice wine, and use other grains to brew, so they can't master the heat well, either the taste is wrong, or they have a headache after drinking, and after trying twice, they are afraid of wasting food, so they don't dare to try again. ”

He looked at Chen Fan as he spoke, and said with a smile, "Why don't you try?" ”

The corners of Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly, "It's just that the types of food are different, it shouldn't be that complicated, right?" ”

Ye Shubao spread his hands, "It's not complicated, but they won't." ”

Xiao Liewen returned the book to Chen Fan, and said with his hands behind his back, "This grain is different, and its fermentation time and the proportion of koji are different. The proportion and process are wrong, not that the brewed wine cannot be drunk, the main reason is that the quality is poor, and people who are not particular about it can drink it, but if you want to sell it in the market, it is probably not at a price. ”

Captain Zhang also said with a smile, "The most important thing is that they are not short of rice to make wine, so there is no need to brew this unfamiliar multigrain wine, and smash their own signboard."

For our brigade headquarters, thousands of catties of miscellaneous grains are not worth the trouble, so these miscellaneous grains are basically divided into various teams to make fattening feed for New Year pigs in the end. ”

Ye Shubao walked over, patted Chen Fan's arm, and said with a smile, "The young man is good, his attitude is commendable, although this idea is not good, I still have to praise it." ”

After speaking, he threw away the cigarette butt, put the hat on his head, and said, "You think slowly first, it is best to think of a way, it doesn't matter if you can't think of a way, you can pull the grain over in the afternoon, find Lao Luo to put it in the warehouse for you, and make a registration." ”

He waved his hand, turned and prepared to leave.

At this time, Chen Fan suddenly asked, "If I save rice and receive miscellaneous grains, how much can I receive?" ”

Ye Shubao turned to look at him and asked in surprise, "Receiving miscellaneous grains?" ”

Xiao Liewen stared at Chen Fan, and asked with a strange face, "You don't want to make your own wine, do you?" ”

When others heard it, they first thought it was ridiculous, is it so easy to learn about winemaking?

But thinking about Chen Fan's previous "achievements", it seems that this possibility is not impossible.

He can even read a book as a veterinarian, what is it to learn how to make wine?

Chen Fan said seriously, "Then it depends on the price of miscellaneous grains." ”

Ye Shubao's eyes rolled slightly, and he said, "One pound of rice is worth five pounds of corn or 10 pounds of buckwheat and sorghum." ”

These grains were generally cultivated on wasteland, not in rice fields, and not even "intensively cultivated", but only for the purpose of fulfilling the small production tasks assigned by the commune.

Even so, there are still a lot of things left after handing in the tasks, and each team hands in the tasks to the team headquarters, and they first use miscellaneous grains to make up the numbers, so that the team headquarters can have a lot of miscellaneous grains left every year. In fact, at the end of the second year, these miscellaneous grains were returned to the team in the form of subsidies.

It's just such a little thing, pushing back and forth, the old tradition.

Hearing Ye Shubao's words, Chen Fan immediately said without thinking, "Then leave these miscellaneous grains to me." ”

Captain Zhang approached Chen Fan and looked at him with surprise on his face, "You want these grains, don't you really plan to make wine?" ”

Ye Shubao's eyes rolled slightly, and he said to him, "In this way, if you pull the wine, you don't count the change, and you can pull half of the wine back, how about it?" ”

As a result, Chen Fan shrugged his shoulders and raised the book in his hand, "I learned from books, and what I put in my mouth, I'm afraid that I dare to brew it, and you don't dare to drink it." ”

Four people, you look at me, I look at you, think about it in your heart.

Secretary Yang coughed dryly, "Anyway, a thousand catties of miscellaneous grains can't be exchanged for a sack of rice for him, so he can simply exchange it." ”

After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.

Captain Zhang and the three of them also laughed dryly twice and walked together.

Chen Fan walked back with the book in his hand, thinking silently in his heart, it seems that this kind of thing is not very complicated, you can start work if you get a pot, and then get a few ...... tanks, well, try it when you are free.

He now has more and more of a feeling of playing games, the house is rubbed by himself, the pottery is burned by himself, although the grain is not grown by himself, but it grows from his side, and it looks similar, as well as tailoring, calligraphy, painting, breeding, veterinary, traditional Chinese medicine, fishing and hunting, .......

Looking at the "Rural Sideline Production Knowledge" in his hand, he suddenly had a feeling that when he learned the things in those dozen books, let alone 77 years, even if he was thrown into the 7th century, it was estimated that he would be able to live a very nourishing life.

……

After getting off work, Chen Fan rode a little mare and dragged a cart back, passing through the rice fields of Team 5, and when he arrived at the territory of Team 6, he suddenly found a familiar figure in the paddy field, and immediately shouted, "Brother An, do you still plow the fields?" ”

While holding the rake, the safety shouted loudly, "What is the matter of plowing the field, I will still eat." ”

Chen Fan suddenly laughed, he thought he was enough, but he didn't expect this old-timer to be able to talk better than himself, sure enough, Captain Yang didn't deceive me, and he deserved to be a person who ran the train with a mouth.

However, although the words are not in tune, the appearance of doing things safely is very reassuring.

I just came to squat yesterday, and this morning I began to plough the field, so that my body was full of mud, not only the attitude is good, but the quality of the land is not bad, and it seems that the old skills I have learned before have not been lost.

Chen Fan smiled and shouted loudly, "Is it arranged at noon today?" Why don't you come back to dinner with me? ”

Safety, "You said it's late, I've already arranged it at Huang Laosi's house, his family has just built a new house, so he has to invite me over." ”

Someone next to him shouted, "Lao An, then you are at a loss, Mr. Chen's cooking skills are very good." ”

When Security heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Really? ”

Chen Fan, "If you don't believe me, how about going to me tomorrow?" ”

An An thought for a while, "Anyway, you are not a knowledgeable youth, you are just staying temporarily at the Zhiqing Point, okay, I will go to your place tomorrow night to have a good meal." ”
