Chapter 85: I'm going to take everyone to grow vegetables
"If you have time these days, inquire more, and quickly collect some and save them. ”
Li Dong whispered. "Mountain goods can also be collected, and the supply and marketing cooperatives now accept everything. ”
"Okay, we'll all listen to you. ”
Several young people want to earn more money to marry a daughter-in-law, this year's production team is not counting on the work, there is not much money, and it will not be bad if there are dozens of dollars for a good one.
"Be careful. ”
Although it is not so strict to grasp the sideline business in the countryside now, who knows if there will be people with bad intentions, and it is not a big mistake to be cautious.
"It's your turn to defend the country. ”
"Ah, Brother Li, you grind it first, I have a lot of families. ”
"Alright then, I'll come first. ”
Li Dong took out his pocket with cigarettes and a lighter and threw them to Han Weiguo.
"Smoke a cigarette. ”
"It's a smoke. ”
Crossing the river with a mouth, the cadres pumped, Li Dong, this kid is really extravagant, the old and young masters around looked at each other and pouted, this baby drove a tractor and floated.
Li Dong wants to know what everyone thinks, and he will definitely refute it, and before driving the tractor, he also crossed the river.
"This lighter is so beautiful. ”
Han Weiguo was playing with the windproof and fire machine together, a few good things, if only there was one.
Li Dong waited for a Chunlan aunt who was grinding rice to clean up the mill, every grain of rice was good in these years, rice bran was even better pig feed, and even the rations of rice bran were good in previous years, and few of these people in the rice bran dumplings queued up had not eaten it.
Although it is said that cutting the throat, it can save lives in difficult times, and it is happier to eat rice bran dumplings than to be hungry.
"Cheng, come on. Wang Chunlan swept it a few times, but she couldn't sweep it out, so she stopped.
Although the work of stone milling rice milling is the first actual battle, it is good that Li Dong engaged in stone grinding and stone grinding in the farm a few days ago, and he learned it himself, grinding rice, and cleaning the stone mill first, but Aunt Chunlan just swept it too clean, and Li Dong didn't need to do it.
Li Dong poured the rice evenly into the grinding pan, and slowly pushed the stone stone to turn and lay the rice.
It should really be a cow, or a donkey, Li Dong thought to himself while pushing the mill, Xiaojuan followed behind and swept some of the milled rice into it, it was too hard to grind the rice, and it was very tiring to push the stone.
"It's too slow. "It's okay to be tired, everyone is not afraid of being tired, but it's too slow.
No wonder there is such a long queue, Shi Yan grinds rice and wants to grind out rice, but it will definitely not be able to do it for an hour, this is still less rice, Li Dong's family divides the rice less, twenty or thirty catties grind for an hour, this is almost good.
It took too much effort, but I saw that a few rice factories were scooped with rice, and it saved a lot of effort to grind it.
Even so, a mill at least an hour upward, if the milled rice is more, hundreds of catties will not be able to come down in two hours, all the people push it, now everyone feels that it is not too tired, and it can't be milled several times a year.
"I'll go back first. ”
Xiaojuan swept the rice bran and rice, and went back to use the dustpan to dust the rice bran inside, and the new rice could be put into the pot.
"Braised pork with perfect stew. ”
The rotten braised pork with new rice must be good, Li Dong thought about it.
"Xiaojuan, help Dad wash the rice, I'll cut the meat. ”
There was meat hanging on the beams of the house, Li Dong untied it, in order to prevent mice, the pork was hung in the old high place, untied and cut a piece, more than a catty, cut it into large pieces and marinated it with seasonings.
Simmer the rice, start stir-frying the meat, add water and seasoning and simmer for half an hour, and the braised pork can be out of the pot.
The lid of the pot is full of fragrance, and it can't be closed, and the little babies of the five grandmothers who are closest to Li Dong's house and the few families in South Korea smell the fragrance and salivate, originally eating new rice today, the big guys are very happy, new rice, there are few meals that can be full all year round.
But Li Dong is doing this, and these families are not in the mood all of a sudden.
"This dog day smells so good. Han Dong slapped his thigh. "Go, stew the wild boar meat marinated at home. ”
Wang Chunhua hesitated, but looked at her grandson, granddaughter, son, daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law all looked at her expectantly, gritted her teeth and cut most of the half catty of pork, stewed pork mountain powder, and put more radish.
Li Dong came out after eating and found that Han Dong's family was squatting at the door with a bowl, hey, Uncle Guo Dong still has two big pieces of meat at the head of the bowl, which is really conspicuous, when did this old man be so generous.
"Li Dong has eaten it. ”
"I've just eaten it, and you're eating it. ”
Han Dong sandwiched pork and sent it to his mouth, it was so fragrant. "Alas, this pork is too much to eat, and it doesn't smell good, you tell me. ”
"Master, the pork is fragrant. ”
The little granddaughter on the side stared at the unfragrant pork that Han Dong said and swallowed her saliva, and just gave a small piece of milk and ate it early.
Han Dong immediately stuffed his pork to Gua Wazi, what is it, he ate too much and didn't want to eat it.
Li Dong muttered, the meat is not fragrant if you eat too much, the more you eat nonsense, the more fragrant it is, and in the afternoon, when you go to work to dig the silt in the reservoir, each family can transport two wheelbarrows back to fatten up their own land.
I kept it and said that I borrowed it, but everyone knows that this is Liu Bei's borrowing from Jingzhou and not repaying it, Han Fu has held several meetings for this matter, this land is either open to the mountains, or river beaches, wasteland, and I have to tell the team about it and assign it to you if I choose it.
Li Dong chose a wasteland next to his house, which needed to be cleared of shrubs, weeds, and filled in the hollows, and the high slope was also to be dug up.
Now the construction is almost started, and it is just taking this opportunity to start construction, and each family is busy cultivating their own land, but there are a lot fewer workers.
Li Dong simply didn't go, leveled the plot at home, and built a pigsty with adobe.
"Xiaojuan, I'll come. ”
The little girl hit adobe and was tired and sweaty.
"Then I'm stepping on grass and mud. ”
"Okay. ”
Playing adobe is a physical work, not suitable for a little baby, but it's okay to step on the mud ball, the father and daughter were busy for two days and finally the pigsty was out of the frame.
"Hmph, haha, come on. "Although the pigsty doesn't even have a shed, it's enough to encircle the two little piglets, Haha and Humm.
There is still a trough left, this has to be bought, Li Dong can't beat the stone well, and he can't dig the trough well. "Just bring a few more alarms to Gao Min. ”
Alarm clock Gao Min gave eighteen yuan five, the price is not high or low, not to mention, I bought three or four in the past few days, and the sales are quite good.
"Xiaojuan, dad is going to the commune to see if he can buy a trough and come back, what stationery do you want to buy?"
"I still have a lot of stationery. ”
Xiaojuan pouted when she talked about this, Dada bought enough stationery for a year.
"Daddy will buy you some pastries. ”
Riding a bicycle, Li Dong set off and came to the supply and marketing cooperative, but he didn't expect Gao Weimin to be there. "For the people, sister-in-law. ”
"I'm talking about you. ”
Gao Weimin said with a smile. "How was the last potion?"
"It's good, my relative used it, and his backache is much better, no, let me thank you on his behalf." As he spoke, he took out an alarm bell and gave it to Gao Weimin. "I wanted to give you this alarm for a long time, but I didn't thank you for not bringing it, and I can't give it to my sister-in-law. ”
"That's so polite. Gao Weimin pushed it not to, he still knows the price of this alarm clock.
"No, I didn't send it. ”
Li Dong's alarm has not been sent, and this will be just in time for the opportunity.
"That's embarrassing. ”
The alarm clock is more than ten or twenty yuan, Gao Min is very embarrassed here, he sold a few alarm clocks but he got a commission.
"For the people, this is a thank you gift, how can you get tiger bone wine without you. ”
"By the way, sister-in-law, let these be on your side. ”
Gao Min took it, there are seven or eight alarm clocks here, and a commission is more than three yuan, which is twenty or thirty yuan, which is comparable to his monthly salary. "Don't worry, put me here, it will be sold out by the end of the month. ”
"That's great, I'll go to the city at the end of the month, by the way, sister-in-law, the four-piece suit and mosquito net are going to be finished, it's okay at the end of the month, right?"
Li Dong plans to stay here a little longer this time, increase the sun value a little more, and see if there will be any changes.
"It's okay, there's no hurry. ”
The alarm clock was good, Li Dong took the money and bought some daily necessities, Gao Min grabbed some toffee and pastries for Li Dong, and he didn't let Li Dong pay for the ticket, not to mention the money.
"After a few days, when the farm work is over, we go to the mountains. ”
"Okay, but unfortunately I don't have a shotgun. Li Dong considered whether to buy one, two or three hundred yuan is not cheap.
Gao Weimin waved his hand when he heard this. "What to buy, I still have a rifle at home, and when the time comes, I'll get more bullets and save money to buy it." ”
"That's a good idea. ”
Li Dong still likes the rifle, and it is better than a shotgun.
"That's decided, when will you leave to inform me, go back and hit a few mountain goods, so that Xiaojuan can replenish her body. ”
"I'll let you know when I'm done. ”
This period of autumn harvest, autumn planting, and some things in the city, the militia platoon commander is not easy.
"By the way, the city is now buying a large number of vegetables, melons and fruits, and you can keep a variety of points for yourself. ”
"I see. ”
Riding a bicycle back to the village, Li Dong grabbed two handfuls of pastries and toffee.
"Xiaojuan, I'll go to the captain's house to have a look, you will rest, pastries and toffee, I'll put them on the table for you, and a few apples to wash and eat. Han Fu asked him what to plant on his own land yesterday, but Li Dong didn't think about it at that time.
Talking, Li Dong came to the rich house in South Korea with his things, the rich in South Korea has not been worried a little in the past few days, Han Weiqun has a few children in the team, and the rations are not enough to eat at all, so he is not looking for the rich in South Korea to find a way for them every day.
"Uncle Guofu, Wei Qun is also here. ”
Li Dong sat down and took out two apples and beckoned to Han Xiaohao.
"I just went to the commune, bought some apples, Xiao Hei went to wash and give his younger brothers and sisters a share, and some toffee and pastries, don't eat alone. ”
"Hee-hee, uncle, you're so nice. ”
Han Xiaohao took it over happily, but he was snatched away by Li Chunhua as soon as he arrived.
"I'll wash it for you, eat one first and keep one, how can I finish the good things at once." There was still one of the two apples left, and Li Dong had no choice but to spread his hands to Han Xiaohao.
I can't help it, Han Xiaohao squeezed his eyes and turned back to find his uncle, maybe he could mix half an apple and eat it.
Han Fu glared at Li Dong, Han Weiqun looked at Han Xiaohao and the little babies who were eating apples, thinking that his children couldn't even eat, and looked at Li Dong with a little unhappiness in his eyes.
"What's the matter?"
"Just now I went to the commune, and I heard that the city was willing to buy the vegetables, melons and fruits we planted, and Uncle Guofu, I thought, should we be more diverse, so that we can exchange some money and buy food, and this ration problem can be solved somewhat. ”
Li Dong took the water and continued. "Brother Wei Qun wants me to say that your family grows vegetables on one acre of land, and if you run more this winter, you may be able to exchange three or five hundred catties of grain for it, which is no better than you pestering Uncle Guofu. ”
"Can it really be done?"
Han Weiqun was a little worried. "Isn't this a speculative reversal?"
"What, the province is almost down. ”
Li Donggang heard what Gao Weimin said, and the surrounding areas of Liutiao Chicheng in the province have begun, and the Lishan Commune is discussing whether to organize a farmers' market.
When Li Dong said that he knew, Han Fu's eyes lit up.
"Wei Qun, you plant first, let's go back and sell vegetables to the purchasing station in the name of the production team, and then divide them later. Han Fu knew that Han Weiqun was timid and didn't dare to eat a variety of vegetables.
"That's it. ”
With a few words from Li Dong, Han Fu's mood was much more open.
"Chunhua, cook more rice in the evening, the pork is stewed, I invite the national soldiers, the national red, and Li Dong to eat. ”
