Chapter 278 That Year (7)
That year and month 7
Even if the autumn harvest is tired, it is still happy. Returning the grain to the warehouse means that if you have food in the next six months, you will not starve to death if you have food.
The dining table these days has been rich. Not all the sticks in the corn field are mature at one time. There are always some tender. When people who break the sticks encounter this, they must quickly pick up the fresh ones and peel them directly, chew the tender corn kernels, and then eat the white juice of a mouthful. The branch secretary and the team leader shouted in the field, not to eat them secretly, they should be put away, and then distributed them by household. But people are so hungry that they can not take care of so much. They should not eat them any more. They should eat them any more. But there are always some leftovers, and the family can divide them into two or three, and boil them in a pot with water, and they will have a fragrance. Lin Yutong feels that modern corn, no new seeds, does not taste like this. I heard that the new kinds are used for feeding animals. The sticks are long and have many grains, but they are far less full than the ones they are now. Although they look smaller, they are delicious.
There are even those children who pouted the tender corn poles. The ones that looked one after another had a sweet taste. The children had no sweet mouths all year round, and the tender corn poles were particularly popular.
Even the mules and horses in the feedlot are all considered satisfying their cravings. This corn pole is the best forage.
When the soybeans were harvested, it was obviously cold. The Fourth Master only had velvet clothes and no cotton jacket at all.
But there is cotton and leather in the space, but there is no fabric used nowadays. There is indeed a lot of fine cotton cloth, but it is all white.
After a while of busyness, I had to dye these cloths in the space.
The cloth tickets I finally bought were not enough for clothes outside. She felt that the army was getting better again. At least the clothes were divided by season.
Now, even if you want this military coat, you have nowhere to buy it.
Corn, soybeans, sorghum all have to be paid for public grain. The real turn to eat it is sweet potatoes.
While the food was still drying, the production team began to distribute the sweet potatoes. The way to divide the sweet potatoes is to divide them according to the head of the person. How many ridges can be made by a person? Then measure them for themselves and dig their own.
Throughout the year, this sweet potato accounted for more than half a year of food. From this time to next spring, who made this thing produce high?
Lin Yutong and the Fourth Master separated half a ridge. But there was more than a thousand pounds. What had just been dug out of the ground was wet and very heavy.
The sweet potatoes today are different from those modified sweet potatoes in later generations. The modified sweet potatoes grow evenly, most of them are slender strips. But now these sweet potatoes are all round. If it rains around a nest of sweet potatoes, the sweet potatoes will grow particularly large, like human heads. Don’t think that this is taking advantage of it. Such sweet potatoes are too big because of the water, but not sweet. Not only is it not sweet, it also cracks a large hole, revealing the white meat inside. Such sweet potatoes cannot be stored at all. Take them back and wash them that day, and then cut them into slices and dry them. When eating, grind the dried sweet potatoes into powder. If the weather is not good and the sun is not dry, it will be wasted. If the hair grows, you can only feed the pigs.
It is precisely because sweet potatoes need to be stored intact and there must be no external trauma. Therefore, shaving sweet potatoes is not only a physical job, but also a technical job.
In terms of technology, it is obvious that the Fourth Master is not up to standard.
As soon as the rake went down, a nest of seven sweet potatoes came out. But four were injured.
Lin Yutong squatted behind and picked the vines on the sweet potatoes. The thin roots on them had to be cleared. The soil on them was too sticky and it was heavy when transported. When he looked up, he saw the Fourth Master staring blankly at the sweet potatoes that had not yet come off the rake. Then he bent down and broke them, and the bird was completely in half.
Lin Yutong: "..." It's a blessing that I didn't rely on this to make a living, otherwise I would really starve to death.
It was Wu Chunlai and Li Guofang who helped, and at least they took it back.
When you receive it at home, you have to place the sweet potatoes in the sun or in a ventilated place and wait until the water is steamed before storage.
Professor Cheng and his team gave the least amount, and the sweet potatoes were at most half full. Lin Yutong had to give them some, but they only took the damaged ones outside and could not be stored, and it was part of the ones that Lin Yutong would definitely not be able to handle.
I don’t want to take advantage of others, and I am very strong.
When I took all the sweet potatoes into the cellar, I went out in the morning and felt a little frozen.
Lin Yutong cleaned up the box and cages in the space and looked for something that could be used. He actually found a box of labor protection shoes. The most practical ones were labor protection shoes. There were cotton, and there were singles, waterproof, anti-slip, warm and practical.
On this day, even if these shoes are single shoes, they are warmer than rubber shoes and cloth shoes.
But this glove is also good, and it also has an anti-freeze hat, which only reveals a pair of eyes.
"I want to go to the county town to buy some cloth." Lin Yutong shrank into the Fourth Master's arms, and he had to make two coats.
The Fourth Master nodded, "I'll go tomorrow." There have been many cloth tickets and food tickets, and the changing seasonal clothes must be enough. "What else do you want?"
"It's gone." Lin Yutong calculated by her fingers, "I want to make a sheepskin coat for each of us. We have the best sheepskin. Buy some wool and let people know that we've bought wool." We still need sweaters and trousers.
The Fourth Master pondered for a long time before saying, "Prepare one more. Let's go out in a few days."
"Where to go?" Lin Yutong asked.
"Go to the northwest." The Fourth Master whispered.
"Look... Yin Zhen's father?" Lin Yutong asked.
"Well." The Fourth Master responded deeply, "This Yin Zhen, Han Chunxia has always wanted to change his surname over the years. This child is stubborn and never changes his life. He has been secretly inquiring about his father's news. This is probably something he can't let go. Things in the world have a cause and a result. If they occupy someone's body, they must fulfill their responsibilities and obligations. You can also write a letter and send it back to your house tomorrow."
I really forgot about this code.
Lin Yutong got up early and wrote a short letter to report her safety.
Then I quickly cooked. I had just finished the meal and the dishes were not cleaned up. Wu Chunlai came over to lead the donkey, "Master, there are many people entering the city today, hurry up."
During this period, Wu Chunlai and Li Guofang followed the Fourth Master and Lin Yutong, working and receiving teachings, and they really learned a lot. Both of them were very respectful to the master and were willing to help with hard work.
Teacher Feng said, "You go. I'll clean up the pots and bowls for you."
This society also has its highlight, that is, it can basically not close the door at night, every household does not lock the door, and no one can lose anything. This is simply unimaginable in later generations.
Lin Yutong once heard his grandfather talk about the old things in the 1970s. He said that he rode his new bicycle to the countryside, and encountered heavy rain on the way. The road was full of mud and he couldn't ride it anymore. Unless he carried a bicycle, he sprained his ankle at that time and had no way to resist, so he parked his bicycle on the side of the road. There was no village in front of that place and there was no shop behind him. He went back to the city first. No matter how expensive the bicycle was, no one was important. He had already prepared to lose the car at that time. He planned to buy a distribution unit. So, he didn't
I went to see it again. After waiting for half a month, my feet were ready, and I had to go to the countryside to continue working. Halfway through the way, I saw the bicycle parked on the side of the road as if it was still wood. No one had moved it. It was rusted. There were so many people coming and going on a day, but no one had such a bad idea. At that time, the bicycle was so expensive that it was covered by a Hyundai car. But it was not lost. If you put it in Hyundai, you can try it. Not to mention a small car, it was parked on the side of the road without locking it for ten minutes. That was really a good luck.
Lin Yutong left without locking the door, not worried at all.
The people sitting on the donkey cart were all young people. Yang Liu rolled her eyes when she saw Lin Yutong.
Accident! Who offended you?
"It's so cold, you'll have to wait for a long time." Yang Liu complained to Wu Chunlai. The three-fold tone made people feel soft all over the body.
Wu Chunlai laughed and said, "Just leave! Just leave!" He was so shy that he said to the big girl.
This is a simple and good boy.
This is the first time she left Kaoshantun in the past two months and entered the county town, with the tallest building only two stories.
The entire county town has only one street that can be called a street. The so-called department store has only three blue painted counters side by side, and shelves against the wall behind it.
A woman in her thirties sat on a stool and put on a sole of her shoe.
"Comrade, do you have yarn?" Lin Yutong asked.
Maybe she thought Lin Yutong had a very strange wool, so she looked up and said, "We don't have it here, we only need to go to Haerbin."
A department store in a county town with no yarn!
Lin Yutong could only point his eyes at the few pieces of gray cloth placed on the counter. They were all made of polyester fabrics, blue, black, gray and military green. Lin Yutong changed all the cloth tickets on her body to cloth before she could stop. The cloth seemed to be enough for four or five pieces of clothing. In fact, after all, the coat and coat were only enough.
After buying things, there was nowhere to go. There was a cinema on the street, and the Fourth Master kept looking inside. He probably only watched the movie in the original owner's memory, but there shouldn't be any in reality.
"Or why go and have a look?" Lin Yutong looked at the poster on the wall.
It's an authentic war.
Whatever it is, curious, aren't you?
The Fourth Master nodded, "Go and have a look." He came to the county town several times and was embarrassed to go with others. The key is that others are reluctant to spend money. He wanted to invite him, but he refused. He felt that it was a burden. Now there are only two people left, and it just happened to be a good time to see him. Others' memories become blurred over time. Where can I be impressed by my own personal experience?
