In the big pot in the cafeteria, steam filled the air, curling up.
Luo Xuan opened the lid and took a look. It turned out that there was an enamel bowl in the pot with several sweet potatoes steaming inside.
Moreover, there is even a small bowl of steamed eggs!
"Hey, where's the steamed egg custard?"
Luo Xuan asked Bu Yaoming in surprise, "Uncle Bu, are you planning to start a small stove for yourself?"
Bu Yaoming smiled slightly, "Nonsense! If someone dared to speak like this in front of me, believe it or not, I would have swung it with a pair of pokers?
Luo Xuan, you don’t care about eggs.
As far as I know, your boy will often take out two boiled eggs and give them to Dujuan and Xiaoyu to satisfy their cravings."
"This bowl of egg custard is for the little wife in the production team who is in confinement. The steamed sweet potato is also for her to pacify her stomach at night.
She needs a baby, and if there is no food in her stomach, she can't do it.
I'm afraid that others will come and steal it, so I'm keeping guard here."
Bu Yaoming said: "This little daughter-in-law has just given birth to a pair of twins. Now that we don't have brown sugar water, we can only steam 2 eggs for her to make up for it."
Bu Yaoming asked, "Luo Xuan, can you get eggs and brown sugar?"
Luo Xuan nodded: "Now outside the mountains, in some places where food shortages are serious, some people sell all the hens that lay eggs.
As long as you have food on hand, you can buy these hens and raise them, and you won’t have to worry about eggs. It’s just that Brown Sugar needs to find another way.”
Bu Yaoming sighed, "It's really not easy to get brown sugar. I'm afraid there won't be many eggs after a while."
During this period, all schools were free of charge.
Moreover, every brigade is equipped with a health room and hygienists, and it is free for members to see a doctor.
therefore,
When commune members raise chickens, ducks and geese at home to exchange for salt, save school fees for their children, or exchange medical expenses for the elderly at home, there is no need to do so.
——Eating, going to school, and seeing a doctor are all free of charge, so what else do the members do with the money?
There are plenty of eggs in your own space.
Moreover, Lu Miao included 70 yuan in the letter she wrote to herself, as well as five 2-tael-5 candy coupons.
I don’t know how Lu Miao accumulated these precious candy coupons.
It's just that she was born well and has a high family status.
Among the classmates and friends Lu Miao made, probably none of them had a bad life.
Therefore, it is relatively easy for Lu Miao to get some candy tickets and the like.
But even though I have eggs and candy coupons, I can't just take them out to help people I don't know.
After all, the resources on hand are not large enough to extend favors widely.
And even if you have enough resources, you don’t dare to throw them around!
Others ask directly: What do you want to do?
How about scaring people to death?
Bu Yaoming looked at Luo Xuan and said, "Luo Xuan, can you..."
"Stop it. Uncle Bu, I can't make any openings about this matter."
Luo Xuan continued: "Although I have eggs, I can still get 2 taels and 5 sugar coupons. But Uncle Bu, there are no outsiders here, so I'll tell you the truth.
What does that little wife have to do with me?
If Uncle Bu and Uncle Duzhong need egg brown sugar, I will definitely bring it out without hesitation.
But I only have such great abilities, and other people... I can’t control them."
Bu Yaoming looked at Luo Xuan in shock.
Then he lowered his head and murmured: "That's right. If you help Zhang San this time, but don't help Li Si next time, then you will be considered as provoking a subordinate. Forget it, just pretend that I didn't say anything about what I just said."
Luo Xuan asked him, "Uncle Bu, it seems that the Chinese New Year is coming in a few days. What are the regulations in the production team?"
Bu Yaoming said, "We have held several meetings with the cadres in the brigade.
Now it has finally been decided. First, 2 kilograms of white flour and 20 kilograms of rice will be distributed to each household member.
As for pork, each production team has a quota of two New Year pigs this year. It is estimated that each commune member's family should be able to get 5 kilograms of pork.
Also distribute 1 pound of glutinous rice flour and 2 taels and 5 sugar coupons, so that everyone can make glutinous rice balls and eat them on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
"Then can we still open this big canteen?"
Luo Xuan asked again, "Will the dining hall cook as usual during the Chinese New Year? Do we, the hunting team, need to get some game back?"
Bu Yaoming didn't mention the hunting team. Logically speaking, there was no need for him to take the initiative to bring it up.
But Bu Yaoming is no outsider.
He is also his close ally, so Luo Xuan doesn't want to embarrass him.
Bu Yaoming said, "According to the requirements, the dining hall must not only open normally during the Chinese New Year.
Moreover, the large cafeteria must be required to provide especially sumptuous meals for the members for several days!
So that the members can have a lively collective New Year.
But as far as I know, including the large canteen of another production team, it is still a bit difficult to cook sumptuous meals for several days in a row."
Bu Yaoming smiled slightly, "As for whether the hunting team should go hunting and whether they should provide meat for the team, this matter..."
"Originally, someone in the brigade headquarters made such a remark. However, the brigade captain retorted it."
Bu Yaoming smiled and said, "The captain said that no one has enough to eat now. The hunting team is nestled in the deep mountains and old forests, and they basically provide for themselves.
The hunting team rarely comes to the production team canteen to get food.
This behavior of the hunting team has saved everyone a lot of food.
If they are allowed to go hunting on an empty stomach, climbing up hills and mountains, it will consume too much energy.
It is unrealistic to ask the hunting team to get some game back when they are hungry."
After listening to this, Luo Xuan couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart: This captain is clearly caring for himself!
"Let's do this. Our hunting team will provide 200 kilograms of meat."
Luo Xuan said: "This will also allow other members of the production team to have a little more meat at home during the Chinese New Year."
Bu Yaoming chuckled, "You can handle this matter yourself.
If the hunting team is willing to get some meat for other production teams, that would be better.
If you have difficulties, don't force it.
Don’t worry, the brigade cadres will help you with matters related to the production team!
If there are three or five greedy commune members who come together in groups carrying guns and want to pass our 4th production team, wouldn’t it be me? The militiamen in our production team are not vegetarians either.”
The 4th production team of Xiaolaojun Brigade is the production team where Luo Xuan works.
Its territory blocks the only way to Xiaolaojun Mountain.
It is also the production team closest to the hunting team.
Normally, the hunting team would bring some meat to the 4th production team from time to time.
In addition, I have a good relationship with everyone in the production team.
therefore.
The members of the 4th production team are the production team that has the least objections to the hunting team.
Secretly, the members of Production Team 4 would occasionally speak for the hunting team, protect the reputation of the hunting team, and stop some people who wanted to enter the mountains.
But the Xiaolaojun brigade has a total of 8 production teams.
Members of other production teams all felt that the hunting team occupied a large area of deep mountains and old forests, making it impossible for everyone to go into the mountains to hunt during the off-season to improve their families' lives.
so,
They still had great opinions on the hunting team, but their dissatisfaction was temporarily suppressed.
Luo Xuan planned to bring out some game to temporarily appease the resentment of other production team members.
actually,
In the past, Xiao Laojun, including the members of Da Laojun's production team, did not usually lack meat at home.
This is because they are all in the mountains and have wasteland that is not included in the statistics.
The commune members had more food at home, and they openly raised a lot of poultry.
But the more important thing is: secretly, the members also raise "cellar pigs"!
The so-called cellar pigs refer to the days when the members of the Xiaolaojun production team had plenty of food at home.
They will find a small forest or bamboo forest 100 or 80 meters away from home.
Then dig a hole in the ground, throw the purchased piglets into it, and cover the hole with a large stone slab.
Pigs raised in this way are called cellar pigs.
Because at that time, the commune members had to cook three meals a day by themselves, and a lot of swill was produced every day.
If we don't raise two piglets, everyone will feel sad that the swill is wasted.
Such big pigs kept in cellars will be slaughtered by the members during the Chinese New Year.
Eat part of it and make the rest into bacon sausage.
Otherwise, the few kilograms of meat shared by the production team during the New Year would not be enough to entertain relatives during the New Year!
If the commune members didn't secretly raise fattened pigs, where would Eucommia and his family have so many sausages and bacon in the past?!
In the kitchen,
Luo Xuan and Bu Yaoming were discussing the New Year celebrations.
At this moment,
But in the yard outside the house, I heard the voices of Huo Futou and another person shouting hello: "Tian Dabang, you went out to hunt wild animals like a dog, why didn't you die outside?
You actually came back? Why, do you think it’s not miserable enough for Luo Xuanxuan to deal with you?”
Tian Dabang chuckled, "That's just me accidentally being stung by a scorpion. What does it have to do with that dog-like Luo Xuan?"
"Who is the dog?"
Tian Da Pang just finished speaking.
suddenly!
Luo Xuan's cold voice sounded at the door of the cafeteria.
