Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 179 Shaoan's hidden skills

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wang Manyin and Lanhua specially asked for a day off, and went straight to the old father-in-law's house with gifts.

Although new styles are emphasized now, the two decided to follow the old ways.

Shao'an knew that after his brother-in-law came to the door at noon, he asked someone to cut off half a catty of meat, and then asked for leave to accompany him.The promotion of the new bacterial fertilizer has come to an end for the time being, and he was assigned to help out at the souvenir shop. Now he is much more relaxed, and he no longer has to go back and forth between the villages.

And with Wang Manyin's relationship, Guo Chaowang valued him very much.

After chatting a few gossips, Lan Hua went to the stove to help her mother cook.

Shaoan took out a piece of manuscript paper, said coyly, "Brother-in-law, I wrote this, please help me to see if you can contribute to the "Huangyuan Daily"!"

"What, you want to contribute to the newspaper?" Hearing this, Wang Manyin was shocked, and almost spilled half of the bowl of water in his hand.

Shaoan has been working in the supply and marketing cooperative for more than half a year, so it is obvious that he has drifted away. He took his previous explanation as a deaf ear... Now that he publishes an article, he has to pick out the words.

If a word is wrong, you may make a mistake.

On the Loess Plateau, there are many types of millet, and the color alone can be divided into four types: white, yellow, red, and black.According to the taste, it is also divided into soft millet and hard millet.

Autumn is also the time when they are most unrestrained. There are so many things that can be eaten, such as jujube, pear, horse egg, horse rut, saponin rice... and all kinds of bugs.

He was an unsung hero in the middle of the night, taking advantage of the moonlight to quietly go to the fields to collect millet.

"Well, I hope they are doing well elsewhere." Wang Manyin replied ambiguously.

Thinking about the last "Isomers" of ethanol explained from a philosophical point of view, Wang Manyin was absolutely convinced that my brother-in-law had a strong understanding of words and a very flexible mind.

After the article was written, it took a long time to hand it in.

"Uncle Man Yin, my dad won't let us ask for more things..." Mao Dan sniffled, and hurriedly put his hands behind his back.It's just that there is clearly longing in those eyes.

By the time Zhao Jianhai found out at dawn, more than three mu of millet in the cliff ditch on the west side of the village had been harvested and piled neatly in the wheat field.It attracted the praise of the members, and they expressed that they would learn from these unknown people.

Except for Liu Xiangyang, everyone was mobilized last night.It is said that Xu Kong first proposed the suggestion, which was unanimously supported by everyone.

The night wind is cool.

This point is reflected many times in the original work.

The couple's life is a mess, and the children don't take good care of them, but they are very active in the affairs of the village.And looking at this, it is obvious that the old father-in-law's house is regarded as a free canteen.

The original poem was about Chongyang, but it is quite appropriate to use it here.

The yield of broomcorn millet is low, usually one mu of land can cost hundreds of catties a year.Even if it is in a good year, it will be less than two hundred catties at most.

I can't go back, I don't think I'll ever go back.

The jujube tree is pure wild and usually grows on the edge of the cliff.The trunk does not grow very big, and the whole body is full of thorns, so it is not easy to pick.

In the cities of later generations, Wang Manyin was busy with a few taels of silver every day, and almost never looked up at the moon.

"Take it, just say that I insist on giving it." Wang Manyin didn't say much, and stuffed it directly into the pockets of the two little guys.

It may be the insect eggs brought in when the plants were transplanted before, and now there are many crickets and various insects in the space.

When Wang Manyin arrived at the scene, several unknown people had been found out...it turned out to be the educated youths from the second team.

Eighty kinds of broomcorns and seventy kinds of grains.

When the autumn harvest begins, broomcorns are the first to be harvested.

When he came to the crowd, Wang Manjun immediately pointed to a few educated youths and said, "You guys have done a good job. Last night, you collected more than an acre of millet from our first team and dragged them all to the second team."

Just as he was thinking, he saw Wang Lianshun approaching with a smile on his face.Wang Manjun followed him with a dark face, as if someone owed him two hundred black beans.

Since the beginning of autumn, the broken children in the village have been picking jujubes all over the mountains and plains to eat. I don’t know how many times they have been pricked by needles.In addition, there is also a kind of yellow-green hairy pepper on the jujube tree, which immediately produces bumps when it stings, itching and itching.

Suanzao noodles taste sour, but they can fill your stomach.

However, Wang Manyin didn't pay much attention to it.

After a pause, Wang Manyin warned again: "But Shao'an, it's good for you to work in the supply and marketing cooperative, and try not to write any more articles in the future."

He still believed in what his brother-in-law said.

Lan Hua wanted to stay at home and cook, but he refused.

The autumn harvest is different. All kinds of crops mature sooner or later, and the main time is to boil.Sufferers are busy intermittently, from white dew to cold dew, or even frost.

At this moment, many people had already gathered in front of the breeding room, and they were also discussing loudly.

Unless there are special circumstances, autumn harvest is not allowed to ask for leave.The labor force of the second team counted as one, and they all joined the ranks of rushing to collect, even Wang Manyin was no exception.

As a result, I couldn't find any faults.

As the night fell, the full moon slowly rose from the mountains in the east.

When Wang Manyin and Lan Hua returned in the afternoon, Sun Yuhou deliberately packed half a bag of red dates and asked them to take them back.

But for the broken babies, this is nothing at all, as long as it can fill the hungry stomach.

Although the broomcorns in that field are sparsely grown, there are more than three mu.Even if you only cut broomcorn ears, it can hold several carts.

Counting it down, I can be busy for more than a month.

Good guy, really good guy!

In addition, the sour jujube has a large core and less meat, so it doesn't taste much.

On the other hand, Shaoan saw him silent for a long time, and felt a little nervous: "Brother-in-law, is there something wrong?"

Xu Kong first quietly filed a criminal complaint to the commune for a recruitment quota.Because of this, I was isolated by the educated youth for a long time.

The two cats looked very excited and kept looking around.

Shaoan spoke cautiously.

In the tenth winter and the twelfth lunar month, the wild jujubes are dried, pitted and crushed, and then dried with a sieve for several times... When the sun comes out, the wild jujube powder will return to moisture and become wild jujube noodles.

"What's the matter, didn't you and Xu Kong not deal with each other first? You can't sleep at night?" Seeing Shang Zhimin, Wang Manyin immediately pulled him aside and asked in a low voice.

Although he already had red dates at home, Wang Manyin still accepted them.

From the beginning to the end, no one in the village found out... Are those youth guards eating dry food?
This is not like Wang Lianshun's style. At the end of the meeting last night, he didn't hear the other party say anything.

After thinking about it, he went back to the room and poured a glass of loose wine, and sprinkled it lightly on the ground beside the court.

Even old people may not be able to recognize all kinds of millet, let alone Wang Manyin.

If it's really too much, Shao'an can clean it up by himself.After all, the title of Northwest Hammer King is not given for nothing.

After eating moon cakes and holding a mobilization meeting, the autumn harvest in Guanzi Village officially began.

***
The so-called "three autumns are not as busy as one summer, and three summers are not as long as one autumn".The summer harvest is mainly to seize grain from Longkou, and pay attention to the speed of guns, swords and horses.Because the weather is unpredictable and it is prone to heavy rain and hail, it is safe to receive the wheat field as soon as possible.

So the meal at noon seemed uneventful.

When He Fengying scolded her mother-in-law before, she was beaten by Shaoan and her nose was bleeding.

Therefore, when a natural disaster occurs, people will replant broomcorns in time...it is considered a proper life-saving food.

"Didn't Xu Kongxian promise to go to the commune to cut a few catties of meat, make dumplings for everyone, and wash bowls for half a month. We think we can eat meat, so we quietly get up at twelve o'clock, and we are busy. It's been a night. Now I feel that it's a bit of a loss." Shang Zhimin didn't hide it, and told the truth directly.

But whatever the reason, it worked out fine.Speaking of which, this was the first good thing Director Zhao did for the second team.

Now, a poem comes to mind: "I am a stranger in a foreign land alone, and I miss my relatives every festive season."

He originally thought it was a routine labor collection, but he heard the other party reading a letter of commendation.

There are scorpions and frogs, and the bugs in the space are generally controllable.

Then, I went back to the house and grabbed a handful of candies.

Sour dates and red dates look similar, but there are still differences.

Lan Hua had a delicate mind and felt that her husband's emotions were not quite right, so she immediately held her hand and said, "Man Yin, do you miss your mother-in-law and father-in-law?"

"Not "Meddling""

There is a dense jujube forest in Miaoping of Shuangshui Village, which used to belong to Jinjiawan. After the cooperative, it became the property of the whole village.Every time around August [-]th, the village organizes jujube harvesting and distributes them to each family.

Go back and ask Wang Lianshun, if possible, the second team will plant some in Dongshanmao next spring.

In addition, jujube can also be made into jujube bun, jujube cake and so on.

"Uncle Man Yin, Auntie, my dad went to the mountains to hunt jujubes. He said that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I'll give you some to try."

After dinner, the couple each moved a chair, sat on the side of the court to watch the moon and eat moon cakes.

Apart from being a bit ugly in eating, the couple didn't have any troubles.

After sending the orchids away, he rushed to the breeding room non-stop, wanting to see what kind of person sat down and so on.

Of course, there is also time for picking jujube.Once you miss these few days, you will be eaten up by wild beasts and birds in the mountains.

Not long ago, Zhao Erxi, a worker in the supply and marketing cooperative, became an advanced producer.

Wang Manyin is very curious now.

"Well, this is the task assigned by Director Guo. He thought that the promotion experience report I made in the county supply and marketing cooperative last time was very good, and asked to write one for the advanced producers of the supply and marketing cooperative. I can't refuse, so I will try to write it .But I’m a little uncertain, so I want you to take a look first. If there’s nothing wrong, I’ll show it to Director Guo.”

In fact, after being beaten once, Sun Yuting and his wife became a little timid towards Shaoan.In addition, Shaoan went to work in the supply and marketing cooperative, and they were more restrained than before, and they were able to talk to their elder brothers and sisters-in-law in a friendly manner.

In the morning, as soon as Wang Manyin picked up the bowl, he heard the loudspeaker in the village, followed by Director Zhao's voice.

What's even more amazing is that you can't plant other fruit trees.

But it's about the father-in-law, Wang Manyin naturally didn't plan to say anything, as long as they don't mess with him.

Of course he remembered his brother-in-law's orders, and he had seen a lot of things in the past six months, so he was still a little uneasy.

In the distance, the sound of children in the village playing with the wind came.

Crickets are a good thing, many children like to catch them and roast them.

Not long after the couple arrived home, Mao Dan and Shi Shi came with a small basket, which still contained a lot of jujubes.

The main millet is drought-tolerant and has many varieties. The planting time can be extended, and it can be planted in May, June, and July.

Regarding this, Wang Manyin was a little puzzled.Now that all kinds of wind are blowing, why the jujube forest in Shuangshui Village can be preserved intact, I don't know if it is because of Tian Fujun.

However, this thing is an indispensable crop on the Loess Plateau.

"No, it's very well written. Can you make two comments, but it's definitely fine."

"Then I'm relieved..." Shaoan heaved a sigh of relief.

Knowing that it was the wish of the old father-in-law, Wang Manyin declined several times before accepting it.

The yellow buns in the later food documentary "XX on the Bite of the Tongue" are made from a blend of soft and hard millet.

This cup is for the predecessor and for the present self.

Why did he suddenly have such a big appeal in the blink of an eye?
And this commendation letter came too timely, it was obvious that there was Director Zhao's support behind it.

Some people think that it's because he loves his job and has a high level of awareness... Some people think that Zhao Erxi is usually nosy and lucky...

Of course, in the eyes of adults, jujube is more useful and can be made into noodles.

There is a kind of rough millet that can be harvested in [-] days.

At this moment, crickets chirped in the darkness.

Seeing the dirty appearance of the two children, Wang Manyin was speechless.

More importantly, it has a short growth cycle and usually matures in three months.

After listening, Wang Manyin even forgot to eat.

Especially the two legs, you must be careful when roasting, otherwise it is easy to break.

As long as it is stored well, it can be stored for several months.

For a bite of meat, as for?

The entire article was only two to three hundred words long, and Wang Manyin read it for 10 minutes with a fault-finding attitude.

Lunch for one person is still very easy to arrange.At worst, bring a pot of boiling water and make some steamed buns and pickles.If you have time at noon, you can come back to cook.

Especially in the dark at night, there are not more than a dozen people, and it is impossible to be busy.

Two views, reflecting two positions...

He couldn't help turning his head to look at his brother-in-law: Could it be that he unintentionally inspired Shaoan's hidden skills?
This article is well written, but very correct!
In the original book, the brother-in-law had a good business talent, but he never showed any writing skills.Now it seems that there should be no chance to play.

"I know, this time is also a task assigned by Director Guo." Sun Shaoan nodded.

It's fine if I'm idle, but I still have to show up in the field at this time, otherwise someone must say strange things.

real or fake?Wang Manyin really doesn't know what to say now.

After coming to this world for nearly a year, it was the first time he knew that the members of the second team had a very high consciousness, and they were not idle on August [-]th.

On the other hand, he is not short of food now.

Wang Manyin couldn't laugh or cry.

Hearing that it was Guo Chaowang's arrangement, Wang Manyin breathed a sigh of relief, and reached out to take the manuscript paper.

Knowing that Wang Manyin was coming to the house, Sun Yuting and his wife also came around noon, bringing their two children along with them.

Wang Manyin really hoped that these educated youths could make persistent efforts and continue to be unknown people tomorrow night.

"Did you read it wrong, what about the first team, we clearly cut the crops for the second team."

"That's right, that piece of land belongs to the second team."

A few educated youths were receiving compliments from members of the commune, and when they heard this, they retorted one after another.

What do you mean, cut the wrong crops?Everyone was stunned for a moment.
