The beginning of the silly uncle, the true love is full of the courtyard

As time went by, the problem of food shortage became more and more serious. Fortunately, after the meeting of the gods, most rural people were able to go home and cook for themselves, and with the emergence of pressurized wells, although the farmers' lives plummeted, they did not starve to death.

In such a dull and depressing environment, the year 1959 came to an end. Although the Spring Festival was approaching, the whole city was still dead and there was no trace of the New Year's joy. Even Yan Bugui, the old man with the most "abundant" supplies in the courtyard, became depressed. There was no way out. The food supply was really tight. No matter how much supplies there were, they could not stop going out and could only watch the food being consumed bit by bit.

In his previous life, when He Pingan was in school, the "three years of disaster" was just a few words, and "famine" was just two simple words in the mouth of the history teacher. He Pingan just took it as a knowledge point and memorized it.

He had never thought about how terrible and sad it was for a country with hundreds of millions of people to have a shortage of food in its treasury for nearly a year and for its people to be starving. And this situation would continue for another two years. And it would get worse year by year, and they would even have to repay their foreign debts starting next year.

Nowadays, it is not so bad in big cities like Beijing, where you can have three meals a day. But in remote areas, especially in rural areas... He Pingan originally thought that after he reported the water well, he could enjoy the supplies in the space with peace of mind. But every time he saw pedestrians with sallow faces on his way to and from get off work, a sense of guilt always inexplicably surged into his heart.

In his two lives, He Ping'an didn't have big ambitions, he just wanted to live a casual life. Now he finally lives the life he wants, but... if it weren't for the company of his family, he would have been depressed. In this regard, He Ping'an often thinks of a sentence from Concubine Hua in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "Bitch is hypocritical"!

The reason can be summed up in four words: "Yanhuang bloodline". In the past, Chinese people had all kinds of online quarrels, disputes, and regional discrimination, starting with "grass" and ending with "mother". When they got angry, they even wanted to grind the other party's ancestors to ashes. But when a place really encounters a disaster, the hearts of most of the blood compatriots will still be connected. Just like the Wenchuan disaster in 08, many Chinese people shed tears and donated generously.

Just as Mr. Lu Xun wrote in "In Memory of Miss Liu Hezhen", 'Either explode in silence or perish in silence'! He Pingan, who had been silent for a long time, threw away his worries and prepared to do something practical for the country and the people!

Having made up his mind, He Pingan began to prepare seriously. After saying hello to the Public Security Bureau and the steel mill, he went into his study and did not go out again. After three or five days, He Pingan finally put all his ideas together into a feasibility report.

That night, He Ping'an packed up, took his report, and knocked on Minister Luo's door.

"He Ping'an, don't you even know the time to look for someone? Tell me, what's the matter?" Minister Luo had just fallen asleep and was woken up again. Even a steady man like Minister Luo did not look happy.

"Minister, these are some solutions I have thought of to solve our country's food shortage problem. Please take a look!" He Ping'an did not hesitate and directly placed his report in front of Minister Luo.

"A complete list of wild vegetables, whaling, growing wood ear mushrooms, raising rabbits, raising pigs, and private transactions. Wow! You have quite a lot of ideas. It's late at night, I won't read the report, just tell me directly!" Minister Luo looked at the thick stack of documents, scanned the table of contents, and decisively asked He Ping'an to dictate.

"The Wild Vegetable Encyclopedia is to gather botanists and compile a book on the non-toxic and edible wild vegetables in all regions of our country. Now, only the eight northern provinces are experiencing drought, while other provinces are still enjoying good weather. We can then use the Wild Vegetable Encyclopedia to organize everyone to dig wild vegetables to eat. Although wild vegetables are not nutritious, they are still good for filling your stomach!"

"Going out to sea to hunt whales is actually something that many countries have done. It is said that after the Japanese surrendered in World War II, there was no food in the country, and many people relied on eating whale meat to survive. Whales are huge, and one weighs dozens of tons. Just imagine how much meat this is.

"In addition to meat, other things in whales are also valuable: whale oil, cod liver oil and whale skin. Even whale feces are useful, it can be used in aquaculture. It can be said that whales are not only edible meat, but also have huge economic value."

"As for growing mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms, they are easy to grow. As long as the temperature and humidity are guaranteed, they will grow. Most importantly, they do not require land and have a high yield."

"We raise rabbits because they are not picky eaters. Most importantly, they reproduce very quickly. A female rabbit can give birth to at least four or five litters a year, and each litter has about ten puppies. You know this concept better than I do!

"As for pig farming, I'm talking about the white pigs bred by European powers. You know, Beijing is one of the most important cities in China. During the Republic of China period, many foreigners came here, mostly Europeans. I heard from those foreigners that the white pigs in their country can grow to 200 kilograms in more than half a year, and they are not picky eaters." He Ping'an gave a brief account of his report.

"Well, isn't there a private transaction? Keep talking!" Minister Luo did not comment immediately after hearing this, but asked He Pingan to continue.

"I divide this private transaction into two types: one is very simple, which is to take money or things to buy grain on the international market. As for the second type, well... this... is a bit... " When it comes to the second type, He Pingan hesitated and couldn't explain it for a long time.

"Oh, there is nothing in this world that you, He Ping'an, are embarrassed about. Don't hide it, just say it!" Minister Luo teased He Ping'an when he saw his expression.

"It's like this. Do you remember when we first entered the city, many comrades fell under the sugar-coated bullets of those capitalists. In response, we even launched the 'Three Antis and Five Antis' campaign." He Ping'an was paving the way for the next words.

"Yes, those unscrupulous businessmen dared to sell us fake medicines and unsterilized gauze. Our injured volunteer soldiers suffered considerable losses, and some even had to have their limbs amputated for a wound." Minister Luo even went to the old man to complain about this matter; he knew it best.

"'Give them what they like and what they want'. Our experienced cadres have not stood the test. It is unreasonable that people in other countries can endure such temptation!" He Pingan glanced at Minister Luo cautiously, calmed his mind, and tilted his chin to the north. Then he quickly lowered his head and waited obediently for criticism.
