Luo Xuan, who was familiar with the road, followed Du Juan's method of catching fish last time. He first stood dozens of meters upstream of the stream and poured the dried rapeseed into the water.
After a while,
The strong smell of dry oil and the erucic acid contained in it knocked out the three major fishes in the stream, the turtles and turtles without eggs, and the angler fish adsorbed on the rocks at the bottom of the stream.
!
Luo Xuan held the sack and stood at the bottom of the stream, constantly picking out the angler fish with their white bellies turned over.
As for the rest, such as horses, shrimps, little tortoises, and carp and crucian carp, Luo Xuan looked down upon them and ignored them.
In the stream, there were two dizzy big tortoises, weighing about 2 pounds, and Luo Xuan lazily stretched out his hand to catch them into a sack.
In your own space, that century-old turtle can hatch dozens of little bastards from a nest of bastard eggs.
Moreover, in the space, these small turtles have no natural enemies and are not affected by various diseases, so they can still survive.
Since the space had that "meritorious old turtle", Luo Xuan rarely buys other people's turtles outside.
Only sometimes, when he saw people who were really pitiful and whose finances were too tight, would Luo Xuan pay for them, or exchange vermicelli for the soft-shelled turtles he had on hand.
That old turtle laid five clutches of eggs last time.
If the situation continues, my own space will almost become the bastard's nest in the future.
I will only worry about how to deal with it in the future, why do I need to search for turtles everywhere?
This time, he mainly came to catch angler fish, so Luo Xuan caught nearly 100 fish, and then he was satisfied with the sack and entered the space.
After pouring the angler fish into the large water tank, Luo Xuan started to cook, preparing to get up and return after lunch.
When cooking this time, Luo Xuan specially slaughtered a chicken, picked a few mushrooms and stewed them together.
After all, it was really hard for Ah Huang to follow him all the way, so he had to reward him well.
It's okay to deal with wolves, but you can't bully dogs.
In half a year, when everyone is extremely short of food, I am afraid that the ending of this loyal Ah Huang, who has just begun to understand human nature, will not be particularly wonderful...
After eating, Luo Xuan took the time to hit the road.
Because this time, he had a clear goal when he went into the mountains. If he hadn't encountered some precious Chinese medicinal materials such as Gastrodia elata and Panax notoginseng along the way, Luo Xuan would not have stopped at all and wasted even a minute.
Like honeysuckle, gardenia, or even dragon bones, Luo Xuan would not give them a second glance.
[Dragon bones, Chinese medicinal materials, are actually dinosaur fossils. Rongwei County is adjacent to the famous dinosaur hometown, and there are often dragon egg fossils that will be washed out by rain.]
Because there was basically no time wasted on the road, when Luo Xuan returned to Du Zhong's house this time, the sun was still hanging on the branches of the trees on the opposite side of the mountain.
"Luo Xuan, you go home and have a rest first. Once we're done with this, we'll go back and cook for you."
Du Juanniang was working in the threshing floor of the production team with the whole village. When she saw Luo Xuan coming back, she said this.
The members were so busy that they didn't even bother to go back and cook.
Luo Xuan approached Du Juanniang and asked her in a low voice, "It's okay. I can go back and cook. Oh, by the way, aunt, do you know who has goats for sale? I plan to buy a few."
Du Juanniang raised her head and looked around, and then shouted loudly, "Erdan mother, are your goats too big? Can you sell a few to our Luo Xuan?"
Hearing this, Luo Xuan suddenly felt his scalp numb!
If you raise goats privately, can you still shout loudly?
As soon as Du Juanniang finished speaking, an old lady's voice came from the crowd in the distance: "It's not that big, a sheep only weighs about 40 kilograms... Oh, is it Luo Xuan who wants to buy it? That's okay
, I will lead it to you tonight."
Wow!
This Xiao Laojun production team is indeed very different from those outside the mountains!
Not only are you raising livestock in the mountains, but you still dare to make noises all over the world?
Du Juanniang turned to Luo Xuan and said, "Then you go home and rest first. Erdan will bring you the sheep in the evening."
Luo Xuan asked, "How much does one cost?"
Du Juanniang laughed and said, "They are all from the villagers, so you can keep them first. As for how much money there is, there is a market, and no one should try to fool anyone. We will settle the accounts later. Anyway, my family is here to take care of it for you."
"
Seeing what they said, Luo Xuan couldn't stay here and delay other people's work.
Paying public rations these days is no small matter!
Not only does the grain need to be dried, but there should also be no impurities in it.
This made all members of the Xiaolaojun 4 production team busy drying rice all day today.
After the rice is dried, an air bucket is used to repeatedly remove impurities and deflated grains from the rice.
The reason why everyone selects public grain so carefully is because everyone is frightened by the inspectors at the grain station!
Every year when the public rations are paid, it is the time when the entire production team and all members are most on tenterhooks.
Because during this period, when you went to the grain station to hand over public grain, there were no testing instruments at all.
Whether the moisture contained in the grain exceeds the standard and whether the impurities can meet the requirements stipulated by superiors.
These things can only be judged based on the personal experience of the inspector.
Whether the submitted public grain is up to standard or not, and how high the level of "unified grain purchase" collected can be, all depends on the inspector's decision.
Public grain is divided into two components: public grain.
This is equivalent to an agricultural tax, and there is no money for the public grains handed over.
Another one is the unified purchase and sale of grain.
In this unified grain purchase, the grain station will give the production team some money as compensation based on the variety, grade, and quantity of grain sold by the production team.
The entire Xiaolaojun 4 production team has more than 20 households with a population of about 100.
There are 93 acres of paddy fields and 277 acres of mountainous land.
According to the standards defined above, the Xiaolaojun 4 production team has an average yield of 480 kilograms of rice per mu.
If the public grain is paid according to the proportion of 16% of the harvest.
This time,
Xiaolaojun 4 production teams have to hand over a total of 7124.4 kilograms of rice as "public grain".
More than 7,000 kilograms of grain, according to the transportation conditions of later generations, is just a problem that can be solved by two three-wheelers or one medium-sized truck.
However, the Xiaolaojun production team is far away from Hongxing Township, and the mountain road is difficult to travel in rugged areas.
It was all up to the commune members to carry it on their backs and rely on mules, horses and donkey carts to transport this grain out of the mountains. It was really not an easy task!
You can imagine: if everyone worked so hard, they risked being thrown off the cliff and injured by falling rocks.
When the commune members went through untold hardships to transport the grain to the grain station, the inspector said lightly: "The moisture content is not up to standard, take it back and dry it before coming back!"
At that time, how desperate will everyone be in their hearts?!
and.
Although the quantity of this public grain is large, it is not actually the bulk.
In addition to public grain, the amount of "unified purchase grain" "sold" to grain stations is much greater than that of public grain!
If the yield per mu of rice is 480 kilograms, then about 76.8 kilograms of public grain should be handed over.
The "unified grain purchase" requires 175.7 kilograms.
Calculated in this way, the Xiaolaojun 4 production team needs to transport 16,340 kilograms of rice for unified purchase this time!
The requirements for grain stations to purchase unified grain are not as high as public grain.
However, the unified grain purchase will be divided into 5 levels.
If these grains are judged by inspectors to be of a different grade, their prices will be very different.
Due to the large food base,
Therefore, even if there is only one level difference in the "unified grain purchase", the production team will lose a lot of income this year.
It can be seen that,
Captain Bu Yaoming, as well as the entire Xiaolaojun 4 production team members, cannot overemphasize the importance of this task of handing over public rations.
so,
By the time Luo Xuan rushed back to Xiao Laojun's production team, all the members were busy working on the threshing floor and could not care about other things.
at this time,
Eucommia ulmoides was busy filling rice bags into sacks and then preparing to load the truck.
The journey is long and the road is difficult.
All these grains have to be prepared overnight.
Du Juan, on the other hand, was on the other side of the wind funnel, reaching into a funnel or something to help pull out the rice, lest it block the grain outlet at the bottom of the funnel.
Seeing that everyone was busy, Luo Xuan said to Du Juanniang, "Aunt, please be busy. I'll just go back and help make dinner."
Du Juanniang scolded Luo Xuan, "How can this be done? You have traveled dozens of miles back and forth, how can you still manage cooking? Go ahead, go back and rest first, I will go back to cook in a while."
"Yeah, the more the mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the happier she becomes..."
A woman working nearby took the opportunity to tease Du Juan and her mother, "Mother Du, your son-in-law is here, why don't you go back and cook sausages and bacon? If such a good son-in-law is taken away by others, then your Du Juan will be in trouble.
I don’t follow you!”
Du Juanniang laughed and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, just open your mouth and spray water out! I don't know whether my Juan'er will obey or not. Luo Xuan is an educated man, how can he come to my house to be a son-in-law?"
I'm going to pay the public rations tomorrow, can you still help me?
If you can't do it, just stop tightening it and run away from Luo Xuan in shame. Believe it or not, Captain Bu will pounce on you right away?"
The woman laughed and scolded, "Just him? He's a guy with a biased focus. I'm still afraid of him jumping at me?"
Bu Yaoming's surname is Bu, and the vertical line only has dots on one side.
so
This mother-in-law said that Bu Yaoming's "center of focus is biased"...
Bu Yaoming, who was working far away, rolled his eyes in anger!
Another mother-in-law joked, "Haha, Du Juan Niang, if you don't love your son-in-law, then don't do it! My aunt is better behaved than your Du Juan... Otherwise, you let me
come out?"
Du Juanniang glared at her, "Climb! Are you so good that you can use a hammer?"
The woman was not convinced, "Of course being beautiful is useful. Do you think Luo Xuan is more capable? Why not just come to my house? We all treat him as a treasure."
The old lady from before retorted, "Do you, a woman, know whether Luo Xuan can do it or not? Have you tried it?"
I see that the more people talk, the more unruly they become, and the more outrageous their nonsense becomes.
Du Juanniang scolded, "Go to work! Tomorrow when I go to the countryside to pay the public rations, I have to count on Luo Xuan to help me!"
If you scare him away, will you deal with that big bucktooth at the grain station tomorrow?"
Said,
Du Juanniang raised the handle in her hand, and countless rice grains rolled up all over the sky and got into the woman's collar, and on her back...
As a result, it attracted a group of women who were laughing and joking, shouting and scolding.
Luo Xuan knew that most of the women in the production team were gentle, gentle and polite before they got married.
Once they get married and have children and have sagging breasts, they lose all scruples and dare to say anything and make dirty jokes.
Especially in a place like Xiaolaojun, the folk customs are tough and there are few rules and regulations.
In the past, the custom of "walking marriage" would have been popular here!
How can it be so particular?
If a woman born in such a place is not aggressive, sooner or later she will be made shameless and shameless by the old ladies around her.
Dishonest people are not born.
He was tricked by others into being no longer honest.
I can't talk to these old ladies.
So Luo Xuanhua said goodbye to Du Juanniang, took the key to her house, and went home to cook alone.
Others are already so busy that it would be unreasonable for me to wait for ready-made food.
When the night sky was like ink, the Eucommia ulmoides family returned home covered with grains and exhausted.
After they simply wiped their faces with dark towels with numerous holes, Luo Xuan brought out the prepared dinner and greeted everyone to eat.
Tonight's meal was a little different.
The first person who noticed something was wrong was Eucommia ulmoides.
I saw him chewing, chewing, and steaming multigrain rice mixed with rice and corn crumbs. He asked, "What kind of rice is this? Why is it so delicious? Hey, this corn is so sweet and soft."
"What kind of rice is it? Isn't it steamer rice?"
Du Juanniang finally picked up the bowl, and when she saw her man making a fuss, Du Juanniang smiled and said, "Our master doesn't care, but he still wants other guests to come and help him cook.
If you feel guilty, then cut off some bacon and take it back to him to eat...
Hey, the taste of this rice is really different from usual! It’s delicious, it’s really delicious!”
Bu Xiaoyu also exclaimed, "Really! Why is this corn so sweet?"
Luo Xuan said, "Uncle Duzhong, this is a new variety of corn I bought at the frog market in the county. It is said that the sugar and starch content of this corn are much higher than the corn you grew before."
Du Zhong said, "Then the corn you plan to plant next year is this variety?"
Luo Xuan nodded.
I have already communicated with Bu Yaoming before. After all, he has more brains and courage than Eucommia ulmoides.
But Bu Yaoming's family obviously couldn't get that much land, so Eucommia ulmoides had to be involved.
Luo Xuan was preparing to open up wasteland for farming, and Eucommia ulmoides was originally doing it with the intention of helping.
If he saw what he saw and knew that this corn was really worth fighting for, his initiative would be different.
This is the fundamental reason why Luo Xuan specially added this kind of corn to the rice tonight.
