Wait until the production team leader Peng Zhikun asks about the exit.
Luo Xuan couldn't help but regret in his heart: He was careless after all!
Previously, I only knew that the sugar content of sweet potatoes grown in the space was many times higher than those grown outside.
But this batch of corn has just been threshed tonight.
At that time, I was so impatient that I wanted to rush home without even bothering to taste a corn kernel.
Besides, as for the dry corn, only someone like Peng Zhikun, who has been dealing with crops all his life, would think of throwing the hard corn into his mouth.
Now that the matter has come to this, Luo Xuan carefully weighs the pros and cons and thinks over and over again.
If Peng Zhikun and Uncle Ding eat this batch of corn as food, there will be no problem at all.
But if Peng Zhikun, the production team leader, plans to use these corns as seeds, he will be in big trouble!
After all, the soil, climate conditions, and water sources in the space are completely different from those outside the space.
Luo Xuan is really not sure yet: If this batch of corn is planted outside the space, it will also achieve high yields.
If these corns were planted in a large area on the production team's land and caused heavy losses to the members of the production team...the consequences would be unimaginable.
I had no intention of doing anything heroic to save others from danger.
Just live a good life and don't cause trouble for yourself.
My mind was racing.
Luo Xuan rolled his eyes and asked Peng Zhikun, "Cousin, what do you think of this corn variety?"
"I personally think it's very good, but I'd better ask Uncle Ding to come and take a look."
Peng Zhikun handed Uncle Ding a few corns and said, "Come on, Old Ding, please help taste this corn. Is it different from the corn grown in our production team?"
Uncle Ding bit into a piece of corn with a bang, bang, bang, bang, and then spit out the corn crumbs in his mouth with a pop.
I saw him pick up another corn and throw it into his mouth.
Close your eyes and taste it carefully.
Then Uncle Ding suddenly opened his eyes and praised: "This corn variety is good! Not only are the grains full, but they are also big.
And when you chew it, it still has a bit of the soft and waxy feeling of white corn.
When you eat this corn, it still tastes sweet!
If this kind of corn is ground into corn grits with a stone mill and used to make polenta, I can make five bowls of it in one meal!"
Luo Xuan chuckled, "This is a new variety of corn that I finally found. However, the person said that the quality of the current batch of corn is not particularly stable.
Therefore, this corn variety has not been identified by the higher-level agricultural science institute, let alone recognized by the higher-level agricultural science institute.
So I bought some for you to eat and see.
If everyone thinks it's okay, you can discuss it later and see if you want to plant some corn of this variety."
Luo Xuan first emphasized that this variety of corn has not been recognized by "above".
This is a roundabout way of telling Peng Zhikun and Uncle Ding about the risks they carry: this stuff comes from shady sources and is of unstable quality.
"Making seeds? Isn't it too risky?"
Uncle Ding thought thoughtfully, "This corn is delicious, but if it is not a publicly recognized seed, I am afraid that the production team will not dare to choose it for planting. The risk is too great."
I once heard that a production team leader from another place chose a kind of sweet potato as a side job for the members.
As a result, all the sweet potatoes rotted in the ground."
Uncle Ding asked Luo Xuan and Dai Hongmei, "Guess what happened to the last production team leader?"
Dai Hongmei asked, "Does he have to bear part of the collective losses?"
Luo Xuan shook his head, saying that he couldn't guess it.
Uncle Ding sighed, "That production team leader, he is still there! As for the losses he caused to the collective, compensation must be paid. I'm afraid his family will have to pay this debt for him for 20 years, and they won't even have to pay it back."
Do you know if you can pay it off..."
Uncle Ding said these words to Peng Zhikun.
As the production team leader, Peng Zhikun would choose this corn variety of unknown origin as the corn seed for the 6th production team next year.
It's easy to say that it was successful.
Maybe Peng Zhikun will be praised by the brigade headquarters and even the township office for this.
but...
If it fails, then Peng Zhikun will not have to compensate the collective losses of the production team.
An accident,
Because he destroyed agricultural production, he delayed the food rations of all the members for a year. It is not surprising that Peng Zhikun went to dig coal and was even targeted!
Uncle Ding is hinting to Peng Zhikun: Don’t take risks!
This is related to the 6th production team and the year's rations for all members. We must not act recklessly with the mentality of "getting riches and wealth at risk".
You, Peng Zhikun, are just a small production captain. If you climb higher, how high can you climb?
There are many heroes across the country who have sacrificed their youth for the cause of liberation, or even been injured because of it!
Even if they can't all be accommodated, how can you, Peng Zhikun, be so virtuous and capable? Do you have backers or connections?
Is it culture or military exploits?
There is nothing. Even if Peng Zhikun kicks his ass and crawls as hard as he can, you can probably sneak into the township office and work as a clerk. That's incredible!
For that monthly salary of 22.5 yuan, risking bankruptcy or even beheading is not worth it...
Uncle Ding is reminding Peng Zhikun: It is better to be your production captain with peace of mind. It is better to have no success than to be safe.
Peng Zhikun took out "Spring Geng" cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Uncle Ding, and said, "Thank you for your concern, uncle. This corn looks really good! If we can increase the grain output of the production team, we can harvest more per acre."
If it weighs 2 or 30 kilograms each, it can be regarded as a large increase in food income for the villagers.
However, this corn has not been guaranteed by the public and is indeed very risky.
Alas, seeing such good corn but we can't save seeds, I feel uncomfortable even thinking about it..."
Luo Xuan took out matches from his pocket and was about to light cigarettes for Peng Zhikun and Uncle Ding.
But he was stopped by Uncle Ding, "There is a torch here, don't waste that match."
When they tilted their heads, they struggled to light cigarettes on the torches.
Luo Xuan then spoke: "Cousin, Uncle Ding, don't think too much. Tomorrow, grind some out and let Aunt Zhang and Third Sister-in-law taste it to see if it tastes good and if everyone likes it.
.”
"If they all think this corn is good, then we will keep some next year to plant in everyone's private plots."
Luo Xuan said: "In this case, even if there is a loss, it will still be a matter for our families and no one else can care about it, right?"
Uncle Ding, Peng Zhikun, and Dai Hongmei all nodded, feeling that this method was the safest.
Let’s plant some in our own plots first.
At that time, if the members see that this corn has a high yield and good taste, everyone will rush to use this corn to save seeds.
Even the brigade headquarters and township office may issue breeding tasks to the 6th production team!
In this way, not only does Peng Zhikun have no risk, but it can also increase everyone's considerable income.
Discuss things well.
Uncle Peng Zhikunding and Luo Xuan chatted for a few more words, then stood up and left.
Only Dai Hongmei hesitated and hesitated, as if he was hesitant to speak.
However, since the night was already deep, she was embarrassed to stay at Luo Xuan's house for too long.
In the end, Dai Hongmei had no choice but to leave with Peng Zhikun, Uncle Ding and the others.
Looking at the people's retreating figures, Luo Xuan not only fell into deep thought: in at least one year, all production teams will be communes.
Soon after, everyone will start eating in the cafeteria.
At that time, all commune members' food must be handed over, and all food will be centralized in the canteen of the production team for unified management and unified meal preparation.
Some places that went too far even smashed all the pots and stoves in the members' homes, and took away all the knives and cutting boards.
At that time, special personnel will be arranged in the production team to patrol everywhere.
Check to see whose chimney is smoking, to prevent members from handing over food not thoroughly enough.
To be honest, people in the countryside have been suffering and hungry for too long, and every farmer has a very big appetite.
After the canteen is opened and all the members are allowed to eat freely, how long can they last with the little food in the production team?
When the big cafeteria collapses, the three years of trouble will come...
So Luo Xuan needs to think carefully, should he plant rice and corn as soon as possible and save them as seeds?
According to my previous plan: apart from eating the food harvested in the space, all the rest will be stored in the space for emergencies.
But now it seems,
Food grown in space is actually more suitable for use as seeds.
However, before large-scale promotion, it is necessary to plant a crop in a small area. Try these corns. Is rice suitable for planting outside the space?
Before large-scale promotion, it is the most reliable method to conduct rigorous small-scale experiments and verification.
To advance rashly, you have to...
In the end, if the experiment succeeds, the production team's food income will increase significantly.
Perhaps, by then, fewer people will starve to death...
After thinking about this matter, Luo Xuan felt relieved, returned to his bedroom, and slept peacefully.
From time to time, I would swap the chickens and rabbits in the yard with those in the space.
Therefore, the poultry and livestock in the yard are now much larger than the chickens and rabbits raised by other members of the production team.
These little chickens and rabbits have attracted Uncle Ding, Peng Zhikun, and the third sister-in-law to praise them countless times!
They all said that they were lucky, with smooth water and grass, fast growth of whatever they raised, good luck in the past two years, etc...
In order not to arouse excessive suspicion among everyone, Luo Xuan does not plan to exchange them with the chickens and rabbits in the space now.
Now they have grown much bigger than others.
It would be too much to exchange them again.
Don't worry about the chickens and rabbits, the grass will only come during the day to help you take care of the poultry and livestock.
Luo Xuan took all the eels in the small pond and a few soft-shelled turtles that others had brought over in exchange for vermicelli into the space and raised them.
Then I slept until daylight!
The next day, when it was still dark, the third sister-in-law came over and started to light a fire to cook.
Luo Xuan is not at home these days, and the third sister-in-law, the seventh aunt, and Aunt Zhang are all like this: every morning, one person will take turns to come over to make breakfast.
After Uncle Zhang and Uncle Ding arrive, everyone will go out to level the roadbed and pull stones after breakfast.
No one needs to supervise, let alone urge them. Uncle Zhang and Uncle Ding are very conscious about their work.
However, Luo Xuan looked around and didn't see Yi Yang's figure, so he asked.
Uncle Zhang said with a smile: As an outstanding young representative of the production team, Yi Yang has now been transferred by the brigade department to work on the Yongxing Reservoir construction site.
After Luo Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
During this period, farmers had to bring their own bedding, food, and even bowls and chopsticks to do "voluntary work" for the government.
Not even a penny of wages is paid, and the daily workload is far beyond imagination!
Like this time when Yi Yang went to repair a reservoir, his wages had to be borne by the 6 production team in the end.
and,
Every year, commune members need to do a lot of "voluntary work", and the production team gives them more work points than working in the production team.
This is actually a disguised...
Volunteering as voluntary workers, taking the wages of the production team, to work for others. As a result, the work points of the production team members will be severely reduced.
Therefore, regardless of the strong labor force in the production team, they can earn 3,600 work points if they work 360 days a year.
It sounds like a lot. A member can actually receive 280 to 290 yuan in wages!
In fact, except for the retention at all levels;
Donations for road construction and education; various fund-raising, money to buy rations of food, expenses to support brother counties and cities, and shared wages for voluntary workers...
Members of the production team rarely have more than 50 yuan in their hands.
This is a family with a strong family and a lot of labor.
When I meet those families with few able-bodied laborers, many of them still owe money to the production team after a year of hard work...
Say goodbye to Uncle Ding, Aunt Seven, and Aunt Zhang.
Luo Xuan didn't even bother to eat breakfast, and hurriedly pushed the trolley and rushed to school.
It doesn't matter whether you study or not, you have to have an attitude.
