Chapter 530 Preparing to build another house [Thanks to the leader, Mr. Taurus](1/2)
There is only one bamboo house with airtight on all sides.
Moreover, there is only one bed made of bamboo...the reason is said to be a piece.
Just because of this thing, it can't be called a bed.
It uses two thick bamboo poles to tie it to the two walls of the house, and put some more thick and broken bamboo pieces in the middle.
It's a bed.
There was a straw mat randomly spread on the bed board, and a thin quilt was thrown on it.
The color of this quilt can no longer tell the original background color. Its blackness is the same as the clay pot used to boil water.
Absolutely a match.
Seeing that Luo Xuan was hesitant, Old Min scratched his head and smiled, "I'm really sorry, I'm sorry, no one will come here to visit me all year round.
And I almost didn’t live here at night. So, it was a bit messy here.”
Luo Xuan asked him, "I heard from the people in Mengle Commune that you have been here in 1958. After so long, how do you cook normally?"
Lao Min pointed to the fire pit, "Hey, sometimes I'm here, and I'm just cooking some food.
Most of the time, I go to the wild to eat whatever I find. I use local ingredients and cook them on the spot to cook them, which is also easy to get."
Zhang Xiaoliqi said, "You waste your time finding food every day, so long. So don't you work in the production team?"
Lao Min smiled bitterly, "Go! But there is not much work in the production team. In April, everyone has to set fire to the mountains.
At that time, I went to cut down the trees for a few days. After burning the wasteland, if I encountered those bigger woods that had not burned thoroughly.
Let's collect it together, then set the fire and continue burning."
"After finishing these work, I will have a rest for 10 days and half a month. The production team will come to greet everyone and go to the fields to plant rice."
Lao Min smiled and said, "Then it's just playing... I've been playing for a few months! I won't go to the mountains to help harvest dry rice until September.
Go to the paddy fields and harvest rice... After a year, I will be able to get through it."
Zhang Xiaoli also understands farm work.
Hearing this, he was very curious, "The climate here is so hot. Can't you plant twice a year? Moreover, there are so many mountains and there are a lot of dry land on the mountains. Don't you plant corn or sweet potatoes?"
Lao Min was very helpless, "Planting for two seasons? Why do you have to plant so many? If it weren't for not farming and being hungry, they would probably not even want to plant for one season."
"And the people here don't grow corn and sweet potatoes very much."
Lao Min shook his head, "After waiting for you for a long time, you will understand: grow corn and sweet potatoes here.
Not only did you work hard and work in vain. Sometimes, you can’t even get the money for seeds.”
It is said that one particle can be sown in spring and ten thousand chestnuts are harvested in autumn.
What about crops like this here, but not growing high-yield sweet potatoes and corn?
Zhang Xiaoli looked at Luo Xuan and did not continue chatting with Lao Min.
After you settle down in the future, you will naturally be able to understand these things slowly.
Zhang Xiaoli, who was very concerned about Luo Xuan's feelings, was unwilling to say too much to a stranger, for fear of causing Luo Xuan's dissatisfaction.
Although this is Zhang Xiaoli, she has thought too much about it, but she is such a person with such a personality...
No one can tell what she is wrong.
Luo Xuan put down his luggage and took out two cans of canned beef and two dried mushrooms.
Then take out the pots and pans I brought with me and prepare to make a fire to cook.
No firewood?
This is not a problem for Luo Xuan: Demolition of the bed!
Anyway, that "bed" is so dirty that it makes people really not want to lie on it.
And Lao Min has already said: He won’t sleep here at night.
Luo Xuan estimated that he would go to nearby villages every night to discuss experiences with the girls who were about to marry, talk about their ideals, and look forward to life.
There are some nearby villages, and they are not in the same category as Namu and others, and they are practicing "walking marriage".
Often, those girls who want to get married will build a very simple thatched hut with wood and bamboo outside the village.
If you meet a young young man who is interested in her, you will be interested in her.
Of course I would run over and meet the girl.
If both parties have a crush on each other, the man will go to the girl's house and help do farm work for 4 years.
If it develops to this point, the marriage between the two parties will be successful.
If the two of them have nothing to do with each other overnight, then go back to their own houses and find their own mothers.
They just pretended nothing, and it never happened...
When Lao Min saw the canned food Luo Xuan took out, his eyes lit up, "Ah, this is a good thing. I remember when Ahla was young at home, he ate freshly roasted steak..."
Luo Xuandan replied, "When you are on the mountain, you will sing the songs from the mountain."
In the morning, I saw a lot of scalpers on the top of the mountain. Why don’t you cut them down? Let’s have a freshly roasted steak...how much cook do you want?"
Old Min smiled, "Oh, I don't dare to be so damn good at killing me!
Those scalpers are raised by those in the village. How dare I touch a cow hair?"
Luo Xuan was a little surprised, "Aren't those cattle raised by the production team?"
Lao Min shook his head, "No. This is different from the mainland... The production team cannot manage it. There are scalpers breeding models everywhere on dozens of hills nearby."
The hills in this area are quite large.
Any mountain top is estimated to be a few square kilometers.
This is not to say that the circumference of these hills is that big. You should know that the mountains stand up to the top and are not flat ground.
If these hills are spread out, the area exceeds 10 square kilometers is not uncommon.
So a production team has only 2,300 people.
If you want to rely on the collective strength of the members to manage dozens of hills?
That's impossible.
Lao Min quietly approached Luo Xuan's ear and said, "In the past, we also asked the collective to manage these scalpers. But when we were short of food, we either fell to death today or died of illness tomorrow."
It’s so hard on the mountain! You will know after you go up the mountain and experience it a few times.”
Lao Min smiled, "In that difficult environment, no one will bother to work hard. Following the scalpers, he will do nothing all day long.
Let those guys in the village stare at the cow's butt every day... Is that possible?"
Luo Xuan thought about it and felt that Lao Min's words were reasonable:
There are many hills here and there are also large areas.
Those people in the village, let alone drinking and sleeping in.
Even if they are very diligent, they can't keep an eye on the cattle every day... It's a long time to go up and down the mountain!
If it is windy and rainy, the people in the village may still go to the mountain and stare at the collective property?
Not to mention the troubles caused by the changes in the weather, the mountain people.
Just one snake, ant, mosquito, and leeches, wild animals are unbearable.
"Don't care about him!"
Luo Xuan ordered Lao Min, "Go and tear your broken bed! There is no firewood now, and I'm waiting for the firewood to make a fire."
Old Min looked at Zhang Xiaoli,
I was a little worried, "It doesn't matter if I dismantle this broken bed. But how can you sleep at night?"
Luo Xuan replied, "I think your house is dirty and messy. I guess there are many fleas, right?"
How could we live in this dilapidated house?”
Lao Min's face turned red, "How many fleas are there! I bet there will be no more than 100."
Luo Xuan was angry and laughed, "That's it, do you still think there is little?"
Lao Min smiled and said, "You probably haven't gone to the village to experience life? If you sleep, I can guarantee that you will not have a good skin on your body the next day."
There are too many cattle, sheep and dogs, and there are also many fleas.
This is inevitable.
What green grassland looks like with unlimited views?
Haha... I only found out that gadflies, mosquitoes, fleas, and these inconspicuous little guys are really good at bullying people and making life worse than death!
"You are a newcomer, and I'm afraid you don't know how casual and lazy they are here."
Lao Min said, "And they have no idea about numbers... They can anger you to death when doing things."
To be continued...
