Rebirth in Prosperous Era

Chapter 56: There’s not much food left!

My mother was confused and hurriedly walked out, wanting to know what was going on. The entire Zhuangzi people were also confused. Why were they allowed to donate these iron tools and supplies?

Although it is said to be idle, once you have gathered all the things, you can take it to the blacksmith shop to make some tools, which is somewhat reluctant to part with.

Li Wenkui thought to himself, where is this?

Now it is just some small tools, but later it will directly take away the big pots from every household. In the later stage, it will be the participation of all people, and they will really throw all the pots and basins into the furnace to make steel.

Li Wenkui carefully searched the memory in his mind. This event should only start in September. Is it going to be brought forward now?

I collected the contents of the pot and hid them in the cupboard. I took my little girl with me and walked out. I felt that I couldn't eat the contents. If someone really walked in and found you hiding food, I couldn't explain it clearly.

When the blow came, Zhou Qingcheng was already surrounded by villagers, who were all asking about the specific situation.

"If you have any questions, you can ask them in the evening. Now I'm notifying you to drop by during dinner."

Although they had doubts in their hearts, many villagers still came over with their things when they had dinner in the evening, including hoes, sickles and pots that were broken and unusable. The village head also prepared a small room separately.

"I'm still going to keep it as a hoe. If the country needs it, we will contribute."

"Who says it's not the case? I've made an agreement with Blacksmith Zhang to give it to the country first."

"This matter should be supported. There is determination from above. We cannot hold back."

Most people still support this economic competition with foreigners. It is useless waste anyway. Of course, many people do not take it seriously and are playing a trick.

But when the villagers sat down and prepared to eat, they found that the food had changed. There were no big steamed buns, but small steamed buns. The treatment was declining rapidly!

"Ah, how come today it's all Wowotou!"

"It's one size smaller than usual! I can fuck it in one bite."

"There's no more soup now!"

"The dish is also stir-fried loofah, no oil or water!"

"Have all the fat pigs in the farm been sent to the commune?"

"Wang Fox, what are you thinking about? You still think about eating pork every day!"

"I don't have any. I haven't had any meat for half a month now!"

The villagers have been unable to adapt to the decline in remuneration, and they have become naughty. Although they have not had meat to eat every day recently, at least they have white steamed buns, and the oil and water in the vegetables are also good. They suddenly want to return to the pre-liberation period, and there is no drastic action. Some can't accept it.

The villagers all wanted to ask the village cadres about the situation, but they all ate in a small room. This change happened two days ago, so no one paid attention to it. Officials must have some privileges.

As if sensing the villagers' doubts, the door of the small room opened, and Fan Yunzhang and Yao Weimin walked out.

They just had a meeting to discuss this issue. To put it simply, there is not enough food. There are so many people every day. I didn't expect it to be consumed so quickly. Most of them are made from fine grains to make steamed buns. According to ordinary people, this is mixed with coarse grains. Save food.

There is not much coarse grain now, and it will take nearly three months for the autumn grain to arrive. Fan Yunzhang and Yao Weimin didn't know until they received Ye Wenming's report. They were both shocked at how it could be produced so fast.

<divclass="contentadv">Even the communication from the commune about the large-scale steelmaking was a bit perfunctory. Dinner was about to be served, so we could only set the tone and reduce expenditure immediately, and we would discuss the rest at the meeting in the evening.

"Everyone, be quiet first, be quiet! Because the village department's grain inventory is running low, and we just learned that we need to save for a while now. We are thinking of ways to avoid lowering everyone's standards regarding grain."

As soon as Fan Yunzhang finished speaking, there was a buzzing sound from the villagers below. They were just talking, but no one came out to ask questions. In fact, even the Wowotou is much better than the one in his family that drank water every day. Everyone still felt There are many, not to mention that the branch secretary also said to find a solution.

Li Wenkui pursed his lips and stood up, because he had finished eating the steamed buns, which were about the size of his little sister's fist. It was really just one mouthful. This stuff was made from corn flour, soybean flour, sorghum and other grains, and it became a popular snack in later generations. cake.

Now it is life-saving food, but the taste is not very good. Even if it is eaten while it is hot, it will make my throat feel scratchy. When it is cold, it will be even more difficult to swallow. I still have to go to the space to find food.

The little sister opened her two little hands and asked for a hug. She pinched her little face and put her on her back to go home. She was often given food recently and she was very attached to her, but she didn't have enough space to cook. I have to get everything together tomorrow.

The happiest thing is that I finally have my own hut. It has been hard work for the family for more than ten days. I built two wooden houses. The roofs are not allowed to use thatch. That thing looks disgusting. , feeling like returning to primitive society.

Dad went to Qinghua Manor to find old tiles that someone bought at a high price, and by the way, he also replaced the thatch in the eldest brother’s room.

Entering his hut, it was very simple, with a mat spread on the earth kang and a quilt sewn from rags. The filling was straw mattress, forget about cotton. It is now a strategic material. I didn’t care about it. The clothes were mended for another three years.

However, more than ten plants have been planted in the space, waiting to propagate!By the time winter comes, there should be no problem with the quilts at home.

There is nothing else in the room yet, so I can only add it slowly. Next door is the room of the eldest sister and the younger sister. This earthen bed is connected to their room. No one will disturb me, so I can go into the space and get busy. .

All the cadres at the village department were sitting in the conference room. Fan Yunzhang stood alone facing the door. On the lower left were Yao Weimin and Zhou Qingcheng, followed by Yao Yongnian and other two team leaders; on the right were Ye Wenming and the women's director. Chen Jinxiang, Fan Qixing and other three team leaders.

Everyone frowned and looked at Ye Wenming, who was speaking, and counted the remaining food in the village.

"There are still fifty kilograms of fine grains, and a total of 310 kilograms of various coarse grains, 520 for six people. Even if we eat the way we eat dinner today, we won't be able to last for five days."

"Why didn't Lao Yeqian tell you earlier? You are responsible for statistics, so you should be prepared in advance."

"Captain Zhou, you are wronging me by saying that. The commune has just been established, so I can't keep an eye on the warehouse every day. Moreover, I told Lao Yao to report this matter once a week, but I didn't see him reporting to me."

"You are an accountant. This is your job. What does it have to do with Lao Yao?"

"Yao Yongnian, what do you mean? It's because he didn't report in time that we didn't grasp the situation in time."

"dong dong dong"

"Okay, now is not the time to hold anyone responsible, but how to solve the food problem.

For the people, do you have any good ideas? "

Fan Yunzhang knocked on the table with his right hand, frowned and interrupted the quarrel between the two parties, and turned to his left to ask Yao Weimin.
