After the Earthquake of Rebirth

Chapter 76 Hints of Food Crisis

Huzi didn't know about the discussion between Ning Qiyan and Ning Xiaowen in the morning about whether he was the captain or the platoon leader. When he saw Team Han open the door, he laughed and joked: "Your official position has become fast enough."

Han Yan turned sideways to let them enter the room before explaining: "What has changed? I used to be a small platoon leader, but the task I received in winter was to be temporarily transferred to the inspection team, so the people below changed their name to me as the captain. Now the inspection task has been cancelled. Naturally, he became the platoon leader again."

There was only one stool in the room, and Han Yan asked them to sit on the bed directly.

"How do you have time to come here?"

As soon as Ning Qiyan entered the room, he glanced at the whole room.

The room is not big, about thirty square meters at most, and there are four bunk beds.These beds look like they are newly made, and the wooden thorns at the corners have not been smoothed, but the ladders in the middle of the upper and lower bunks are relatively clean, which should be convenient for everyone to avoid being stabbed by the wooden thorns when going up and down the bunks.

The bedding on the bed was very neat, without any wrinkles. Although the sheets and quilt covers were not the solid color of a regular military camp, at least the eight beds in the room were of the same color.Thinking about it, it's not easy to rush to City D after the earthquake. The roads are impassable, and you have to walk on two legs. It's impossible to carry all the daily necessities from the original military area.These supplies in front of me are probably picked up from the ruins here and there.

Except for the bed against the wall, there is only a wooden table and wooden chairs in the middle of the room.

Hearing Han Yan's words, Ning Qiyan smiled, pointed to the three boxes placed by the wall by Huzi and Du Cheng after entering the house, borrowing what Huzi said before, "Let's support the army!"

As for why the things are placed in the corner instead of the table, it is obvious that the only table in the house is not very strong. Still feel distressed to death.

Han Yan is also not polite, since Ning Qiyan has already said to support the army, then these are naturally arranged for them, and the three boxes are opened when he walks over.

Han Yan was pleasantly surprised to see the hot sauce and the obviously homemade soybean paste.The landlord's house... No, there is no food left in the army!Although they used to be able to go to the redemption point to exchange credits equivalent to wage subsidies for these sauces that can be served with rice, but the rice is not very full, so how can they be willing to change these, salt seasoning is good.

When he opened the last box and saw a whole small box of eggs, his surprise turned into surprise.

"You guys are so willing! How much food can this box of eggs exchange for!"

Ning Qiyan looked at Han Yan with a smile, "I don't want food, only eggs."

The food in his family has to be kept for the family to eat slowly. Compared with the eggs that can't hold and can't be eaten, it's better to accept the eggs honestly.

Han Yan shook his head with a smile, and nodded at Ning Qiyan.

Ning Qiyan and the others didn't know that in the past few days, the proportion of credit points issued by the government in exchange for food would decrease again. To explode.

At this time, even if Ning Qiyan really gave them food, they would not dare to accept it, and could not accept it.

Han Yan looked at the full box of eggs, paused, closed the box again, and sat back on the chair that Ning Qiyan and the others thought were not very strong.

"I would like to thank you for the boys under me. But don't give them away in the future, after all, they are all very hungry to eat. I think the three bottles of miso are made by you, right?" See Ning Xiaowen Nodding, Han Yan continued: "Making miso also costs food, so let's get full first."

Although Han Yan didn't seem to want them to spend any more money, Ning Qiyan still understood the hint in his voice in seconds.

"Eat the most hungry", "wasting food".

Similar to what Ning Qiyan guessed, in this life, because there are sufficient heating materials in winter, there has not been a large number of deaths. The population of surviving citizens is much larger than before. Following the shortage of seasonings, the food crisis also occurred earlier.

Fortunately, as I saw from the way down the mountain this time, the fields reclaimed everywhere rarely have delicate grains.Most of them follow the guidance of the government and grow corn, sweet potatoes and other crops.Sweet potatoes and potatoes cannot be harvested until after September, but the time for corn is short. As long as they persist until July, the corn planted by each household will be ripe and harvested one after another.At that time, the food crisis will be postponed until September, and once the potatoes and sweet potatoes with a large yield are ripe, City D will be able to safely overcome the food crisis for the rest of its life.

According to the current time, it will be June, and at most one more month will wait until the corn is harvested.And even if you don't have the experience of your previous life, you can know that the government can't let the credit points go to waste all at once, and you can't exchange any food, and it will definitely decrease gradually, just like before. , if it is reduced again, it may become one credit point in exchange for eight taels of miscellaneous grains or five or six taels of rice.

Although the grain is reduced, the crops that are about to mature in the field can give the citizens a sense of confidence. After this period of time, when their own grain comes down, they are not afraid that the government's grain stockpiles will bottom out.

Thinking of this, Ning Qiyan raised his head again and looked at Han Yan.

Seeing that Ning Qiyan was lost in thought because of his words, Han Yan knew that the other party understood the hints in his words, he was relieved and also entangled.I am pleased that no matter whether the purpose of Ning Qiyan and their sending things is pure or not, it is indeed him and his soldiers who are benefiting. If they do not violate the principle, giving a little reminder is also worthy of Ning Qiyan and the others for their own soldiers. miss and help.Of course, hints belong to hints, and it depends on the other party if you understand it or not.

Speaking of entanglement, Han Yan himself is really not very good at dealing with smart people. Compared with those silly boys under him, he is still smart.But face to face with a real smart person, he is afraid that the other party will lead him into a ditch, so he would thank others foolishly!

Fortunately, although Ning Qiyan is smart, he also puts his smartness on the bright side, not the kind of person who secretly pokes at others.

"We actually have something else to do here this time." Ning Qiyan thought for a while, then suddenly spoke.

Han Yan raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

"I want to ask if your military region's logistics support chickens and ducks."

Chicken and duck?

Han Yan involuntarily swept towards the box containing eggs by the wall.

"The chickens and ducks that survived the earthquake were not returned to our military region, and the government has always asked someone to raise them."

Ning Qiyan smiled, what Han Yan said was interesting.

"Not assigned to the military region" rather than "not assigned to the military region."

To put it bluntly, the military region wants to support but cannot support it.

After thinking this through, Ning Qiyan had a solid idea of ​​his next plan.

"We can get some chickens in a while, I wonder if you need it for logistics?" Ning Qiyan asked. In fact, until Han Yan hinted that the food crisis was coming, he was still thinking about it as he had discussed with Ning Xiaowen before. , exchange the newly hatched chickens to the residents in the mountains, and let them slowly raise and lay eggs by themselves, or eat meat.But since the food crisis is imminent, let’s not say that other people are still reluctant to exchange food for chickens. If they really exchange it, they will be killed because there is no food to fill their stomachs before they can be raised to lay eggs. It’s a pity.

If it can be exchanged for the logistics of the military region in private, not only will it not be eye-catching, but the logistics of the military region will definitely raise it carefully for the sustainable development in the future.

Du Cheng naturally decided everything according to Ning Qiyan, and he unconditionally supported it.Ning Xiaowen and Huzi, who didn't understand why Ning Qiyan came out suddenly, were just like Du Cheng, with calm expressions, as if they had discussed it in advance.

If you don't understand, you can ask when you go back, but in front of outsiders, the opinions and ideas are naturally absolutely unified.

"Really? How many? When will it be delivered?" Han Yan's eyes lit up, and he didn't need to go to the logistics to ask. He also knew that if there were live poultry that could be exchanged, the logistics team would definitely jump around and do so.I didn't see the rabbits caught before winter last year being offered by the logistics soldiers like ancestors. I was afraid that if I raised one rabbit to death in the future, there would be fewer rabbits born in the future.

However, the government did not hand over the matter of raising livestock to the army, and it was not for the sake of eating alone. The main reason is that living livestock are too precious. Although the military region also has logistics to raise these livestock, it still does not have the old professional farmers hired by the government.And no matter the eggs laid, or the pigs and sheep that should be killed when the time comes, they are all provided to the tables of hospital patients and children in orphanages. Even the leaders of the city can't eat meat a few times.

Ning Qiyan counted the time, "There are twenty or thirty hens that have started laying eggs and roosters of the same period, and there are more than a dozen ducks that have not yet started laying eggs. The next batch of chicks will not be available until the end of June. The exact number can't be determined right now." Usually, when the fertilized eggs are identified, they are put away directly, and Ning Qiyan also forgot how many fertilized eggs are stored at home, so the number of chicks that can be hatched is really uncertain.

Ning Xiaowen on the side knew it well, but Ning Qi said everything, so he didn't make a sound.

After listening to Ning Qiyan's words, Han Yan stood up excitedly, "Sit down first, I'll find the logistics staff, and you can talk directly."

Half-sized chickens and ducks are more popular than small chickens, and they can lay eggs immediately after being exchanged. Han Yan is sure that the logistics will definitely want it, but the price of the exchange will be the price of the exchange. Talk about it yourself.

Seeing Han Yan running out like this, Ning Qiyan shrugged.

"How do you plan to set the price?" Regardless of why Ning Qiyan suddenly wants to exchange the chickens and ducks at home directly to the military, who is it for Ning Xiaowen and the others?And being able to dispose of some of the hens that have been laying eggs at home can also reduce the pressure on the eggs.

For others, eggs are so rare that they can't eat them, but for their family, they can't finish them.It's better to change it out early and popularize other people's dining tables.

"What do you think?" Ning Qiyan looked at Ning Xiaowen, Hu Zi and Du Cheng.

Beard spread his hands directly, no matter whether it was a redemption point or among the citizens, there was no transaction that could be referred to.

Ning Xiaowen didn't have a firm idea either, "Although our family has too many to eat and takes up space, these are very rare supplies outside of our house. It's definitely not good to change them if they are low, and it's not good to change them if they are high. After all, we all want to do long-term deals, whether it’s with the military region or with Wang Yang and the others, it’s not a one-shot deal, and if the price is not right, it will affect our reputation.”

Up to now, Ning Xiaowen can be understood, whether it is the future contracting of land mentioned by Han Yan to his leader, or the things that Ning Qiyan exchanged little by little, all of them point to Ning Qiyan's love for his family. Future plans - farmer or landowner.

But this is also very good. In Ning Xiaowen's opinion, it is more comfortable than working for others, and he does not have to face the tricks between people.

Ning Qiyan also knows that a high price is not good, and a low price is even worse, but how to grasp this degree...
