Luo Xuan's new "house" was built far away from other people's homes, with no neighbors in the front, back, left or right.
6 On the territory of the production team, there are empty dams and mountain valleys everywhere where Luoxuan can build shacks.
Captain Peng Zhikun initially planned to let Luo Xuan build the bamboo houses in areas where the members live more densely.
In this way, everyone can take care of each other.
But Luo Xuan doesn't like to hang out with them.
Moreover, Luo Xuan is not worried about his own safety: during this period, it is really possible to "not pick up lost things on the road and never close the house at night".
——There is no paper or dog poop on the road, and there is nothing for everyone to pick up.
Rural commune members all use bamboo strips to wipe their buttocks. If they can pick up a piece of paper on the road, at least their buttocks will suffer less.
Knead it, knead it, the paper in the homework book is not unusable...
(You are not allowed to ask about the details of wiping your butt in the homework book, and you are not allowed to ask about your feelings...it is better than a bamboo strip.)
As for shit...
It was all picked up and taken back by the members of the production team.
Don't underestimate dog poop, it is excellent fertilizer.
Communal members can spread the dog excrement in their own private plots and use it as fertilizer; they can also let the children take it to the breeding room of the production team, and then pour it into the large manure pit in the breeding room for retting.
According to regulations, you can get work points by handing in dog poop, and the price is higher than cutting cow grass...
be honest.
The good social security during this period was truly rare to see in thousands of years.
Every household can keep their doors open at night, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.
Since he didn't have to worry about his own safety, Luo Xuan wanted to live in isolation, so he took a liking to this mountain pass at a glance.
Captain Peng Zhikun thought it was too remote and immediately became unhappy.
In desperation, Luo Xuan
Forced to speak loudly to Peng Zhikun, he started to talk about the Feng Shui theory of "gathering Qi with the wind at your back, leaning against the mountains and facing the water".
Peng Zhikun was so angry that he jumped to his feet and almost spit out a mouthful of blood on the spot!
Peng Zhikun jumped to his feet and shouted: "What age are you in? As an educated high school student, how can you still have such feudal superstition?!"
When he was scolded by the captain, Luo Xuan just smiled at Peng Zhikun but did not answer.
Seeing that Luo Xuan refused to let go, Peng Zhikun jumped up and down a few times, then died down.
He pulled Luo Xuan over and warned in a low voice: "Luo Xuan, you can't say this kind of thing again in the future... Well, at least don't yell in front of others! Do you hear me?"
Peng Zhikun's educational level is not high, at best he can only "know a few hundred words".
In his heart, he still vaguely believes in these things.
otherwise.
A few years ago, Peng Zhikun's mother passed away and had to be buried in a place said to be a "feng shui treasure".
Didn't Peng Zhikun dare to disobey his mother at that time?
Although we are in a new society now, people's traditional concepts that have existed for thousands of years cannot be completely reversed overnight.
Peng Zhikun laughed and cursed a few times, and finally approved Luo Xuan's request.
The production team builds a shelter for Luo Xuan. It is a "temporary building." As long as the majority of the members in the production team agree, it does not need to be reported.
The people who came to help Luo Xuan build the house today were five expert workers among the women in the production team, plus the team leader Peng Zhikun himself.
There are 6 people in total.
They worked together with each other, using thick bamboo to make pillars, and then cutting some old moso bamboo to make purlins.
The roof is made of coir grass and straw is woven into rows of mats to support the roof tightly.
Peng Zhikun, the production team leader, personally climbed up to the roof to tie up the roofs so that the two bamboo houses could withstand the test of heavy rains in summer and continuous rain in autumn.
Since there is no need to build a foundation with strips of stone or rammed earth walls with plywood, the bamboo shed is very quick to build.
Luo Xuan bought the meat, but saw that Aunt Zhang, who came to help, was nowhere to be seen.
After asking team leader Peng Zhikun, I found out that Aunt Zhang had actually gone back to the storage room to rub jute.
Looking at the thatched hut that was almost taking shape, Luo Xuan understood a little bit what was going on.
So I hurried to the storage room and asked Aunt Zhang to come over again.
"Luo Xuan, you are spending money indiscriminately."
Aunt Zhang returned to the mountain col, and while helping to build a simple stove, she complained to Luo Xuan, "We usually exchange workers for jobs in our production team.
Then just have a meal of rice mixed with half of the corn kernels, and fry a bowl of sauerkraut with lard. Why do you have to be so extravagant and make the oil and water so big?"
Luo Xuan smiled and said, "It's okay, they are all my elders. You are here to help me build a house. How can I have the nerve to treat you badly?"
Put down the pork and vermicelli, Luo Xuan took out the newly purchased casserole and prepared to start making lunch.
"Oh, you are too handsy. I think back then, when your Uncle Zhang and I got married, we only had a bowl of lard pickled cabbage, boiled vermicelli, and then a bowl of roasted bamboo shoots with a little bit of meat, and a bowl of boiled Tianxinxin. , it’s considered a wedding banquet.”
Aunt Zhang looked around and saw that the people working there didn't pay attention.
Then Aunt Zhang lowered her voice and told Luo Xuan, "This piece of meat of yours must weigh three kilograms, right? Just cut off half of it and put it away, and eat one and a half kilograms of meat. Don't waste it!"
Luo Xuan shook his head, "Everyone has seen how big this piece of meat is, so what if we hide it now? Don't worry, aunt, I will plan my life carefully in the future, and I will never be hungry or full."
Seeing that Luo Xuan was serious about what he said, Aunt Zhang didn't want to say anything more.
Although Luo Xuan is young, he is still a high school student and can barely be regarded as a half-literate person in the production team.
Rural women like Aunt Zhang, despite the fact that they often act foolishly, in fact, deep down in their hearts, they still respect knowledge and respect scholars.
This is probably also the gene that has been engraved in our bones for thousands of years: awe of those who are literate.
The casserole was too new, and was a dusty gray color.
Aunt Zhang stretched out her hand and pulled Luo Xuan away, "You just bought this casserole, and it can't be used yet. It needs to be soaked in water to remove the heat, otherwise it will crack."
Then Aunt Zhang stood up and said, "You set up the stove first, and I'll go home and get the iron pot to stew the meat."
Luo Xuan said: "Excuse me, madam, and grab a handful of old pickled cabbage. We will stew the vermicelli and pork with the pickled cabbage. It will be appetizing."
"Open the shovel's stomach!"
Aunt Zhang turned around and leaned close to Luo Xuan's ear, as if she hated iron and said, "Pork stewed with pickled cabbage, do you want them to eat all your bowl?"
You can't put old sauerkraut! That's too appetizing.
I'll go to the private plot, chop up two cabbage heads, and cook them together with the vermicelli. This way it won't cost so much food! You idiot, you don't even understand this."
"Remember, put an extra pinch of salt in the dishes!"
After Aunt Zhang told Luo Xuan, she went straight back to get the iron pot and cut the cowhide vegetables.
Braised cabbage is specially grown to feed pigs, and its taste is just average, neither unpleasant nor delicious.
It's just that the yield of kraft is high. If you remove the outer layer of leaves, it will continue to grow.
Nowadays, commune members do not have large livestock at home, so cowhide has become one of the daily vegetables for rural people.
Aunt Zhang didn't want to stew vermicelli with pickled cabbage, so she had to use braised cabbage instead of old pickled cabbage, just to save Luo Xuan some vegetables and meat.
In rural areas of Bashu Province, commune members use jars to pickle sauerkraut, and there is no need to step on it with their feet.
So this old sauerkraut stewed with vermicelli and pork is really delicious.
When farmers do things, they pay attention to making every appearance look good, but they also have to be careful about everything.
It's like a small plate of sausages placed on the table during festivals. It's for people to look at, not for everyone to eat...
This is the survival wisdom passed down from ancient times by our ancestors.
