Siheyuan starts from a good life

Since it happened to be Sunday when Jiang Yan came back, almost everyone in the courtyard was at home. He Yuzhu was temporarily called away by the director, otherwise he would have gone to pick up Jiang Yan with Xu Damao.

Because the weather today is so cold, almost all the people in the courtyard are warming themselves by the fire at home. Therefore, except for the third uncle and his family, almost everyone does not know the news of Jiang Yan's return.

At noon, when the weather was warm, many people began to come out for activities, and the third uncle also began to show off. After a while, the news of Jiang Yan's return spread throughout the courtyard.

The third uncle not only showed off that he was the first person to know the news about Jiang Yan's return, but also showed off the heating in Jiang Yan's home.

In fact, people in the courtyard have known about the installation of heating in Jiang Yan's house for a long time. Because the price is too expensive and it is a waste of coal. Coal is a thing that is supplied by ticket these days. Most people really can't afford it, so it is not possible. That’s it.

In addition, this winter, due to the cold weather, few people visit each other, especially at Jiang Yan's house. Except for the three uncles, few neighbors in the courtyard go there, especially in winter, there are even fewer people. Therefore, people in the courtyard do not know much about the benefits of installing heating. They only know that they have not mentioned it to others for various reasons.

Now it's good. Through the third uncle's efforts to spread the word, everyone in the compound knows about the heater installed in Jiang Yan's house, which makes the house feel like spring all year round.

This has caused everyone in the yard to start talking about it now.

Jiang Yan couldn't hear the discussions of the people in the yard. He, He Yuzhu and the others started to put the things he brought back and the things given by others into categories in the basement of his yard.

But as soon as he entered the basement, he was shocked by the mountains of food inside.

He remembered very clearly that in the climate where he lived, in addition to pickles for storing vegetables, the total of coarse grains and fine grains he put in the basement only weighed less than kilograms. This good guy almost filled half of the basement.

At this time, Xu Damao's things happened to come down.

"Da Mao, tell me honestly, how much food did you get in total?" Jiang Yan asked.

"This." Xu Damao was silent for a moment. It wasn't that he didn't say anything, but he was a little afraid to say it. Although Jiang Yan had told him to get some food when he left, he got a little too much. It is estimated that if this number is revealed, it may Jiang Yan will beat him.

"What can't be said? Tell me honestly, how many are here." Seeing Xu Damao's silence, Jiang Yan touched his butt and spoke in a stern tone.

"Well, it's not much. I made a hundred kilograms of rice and white flour, more than four hundred kilograms of cornmeal, and a little bit of everything else. The vegetables brought back from the summer were pickled by the pillars, and the meat was scattered here and there. I also made a hundred or ten kilograms and turned them into bacon."

Hearing Xu Damao say this, Jiang Yan felt that his brain hurt. He was a little too bold. It would be a big deal if the matter was found out.

According to what Jiang Yan knows, the government is currently vigorously reducing the urban population in order to alleviate the supply pressure in the city. Many workers recruited from rural areas are being mobilized to return to their hometowns.

The general principle of converting rural household registration to urban household registration is to only reduce but not increase. Thinking of the 60 million people who were downsized from cities and towns and returned to rural areas in the early 2000s, Jiang Yan had to lament how much the flower growers, rural areas and farmers, had contributed to the country.

In addition, the country will begin to adjust the national economy from 1961. Under the guiding ideology of 'agriculture is important', the steel industry will be transformed from 'big up' to 'big down', and many steel mills will face Production is suspended and production is reduced; and the rolling mill next door, which is the middle and lower reaches of the steel industry, will also enter a period of low-intensity production and will last for more than ten years.

Therefore, there will not be many opportunities for everyone to hone their skills and accumulate experience in the future. In addition, since the s, workers' promotion assessment has been uniformly arranged by the state. Since it is difficult to take into account arrangements such as time, venue, and number of people, workers' assessment and promotion opportunities will become less and less. In the end, a "long-term service" mentality was developed. ', 'big pot rice', 'average grain' and other thinking, everyone is no longer keen on pursuing technological progress.

And although in this era due to the emergence of Jiang Yan, the country's situation was much better. The country purchased a large amount of grain and basically supported the countryside. After all, it was much worse than in the city.

Moreover, after the state took action to control it, the disaster-stricken situation has basically improved a lot. It can also be said that the natural disaster has passed. However, the food supply in the market has not returned to what it was before. It is just no longer reduced. Food is still the same regardless of which aspect. Things that are more important.

The grain and poultry in Hongxing Farm will definitely attract the attention of the superiors. They can produce so many things under the nose. Jiang Yan is not looking down on Xu Damao. He does not have such ability. There are probably many things that he does not know. .

When Jiang Yan thought of this, he was not polite and said directly to Xu Damao: "Explain to me what is going on and why so much food was produced."

Seeing that his boss couldn't hide anything, Xu Damao explained how he managed to get so much food.

It turns out that due to the impact of the disasters in the past two years, everyone has paid more attention to food. According to the proportion of food, vegetables and meat produced by Red Star Farm, the entire institute can retain %.

For the sake of the institute, in order to get more grain, the entire institute's senior management concealed some output, but it was not much. Each acre of land concealed more than ten kilograms of grain, which is a quite large amount. These grains are naturally controlled by the entire institute, but they appear in front of the employees in a different way.

Sometimes the institute even takes these grains as rewards, but a small part of the grain is still processed internally by the institute.

Of course, these are all made with money, but they don’t need food stamps. As for corruption, don’t even think about it.

Officially because of this, Xu Damao bought some grain from it.

There is also some grain that is collected by farm workers on a daily basis and has not been harvested cleanly.

In this era, machinery was not widely popularized, so harvesting and threshing grain would cause certain losses. Farm employees collected these grain losses, and the grain was processed internally by the employees of Red Star Farm.

Hearing this, Jiang Yan let out a sigh of relief.

"Who knows about these grains?" Jiang Yan asked again.

"Zhuzi and the others all know it, but the woman may not know." Xu Damao said.

"Tell them no one can say anything." Jiang Yan said.

"Don't worry! Boss, I have already told them that the food here is as well as your, sister-in-law and grandma's monthly supply. I put it in together." Xu Damao said again.

"Where did you get the special offer?" Jiang Yan asked next.

"I got it. All I have left for you are some cigarette tickets, dim sum tickets and other rare tickets. We have used the rest." Xu Damao scratched his head and spoke with a little embarrassment.

Now Jiang Yan enjoys the special supply of high-level talents. This thing is not only for young and old, but also adds five kilograms of meat in a month! Not to mention the others, they are all rare and good things.

"Okay, just use it! It doesn't matter, as long as it's not wasted." Jiang Yan waved his hand indifferently.
