Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 191 The Theft of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative

The second is to dig special sweet potato cellars, which are divided into open cellars and dark cellars.

The so-called Mingjiao is a cold kiln dug on the cliff. This kind of kiln is generally relatively low in height, and the kiln mouth is shrinking. There is no pan soil kang inside, and there are no doors and windows.

Of course, it can also be used to store sweet potatoes or potatoes, as long as it is covered with a thick layer of loess, the effect of heat preservation and cold protection is still very good.

As for the dark cellar, it is what people often call the cellar in the plain area. Just choose a flat area on the side of the field and dig a shaft.Depending on the number of sweet potatoes at home, it can be extended from the bottom of the shaft to the surroundings, generally digging into gourd-shaped or plum-shaped grooves.A large groove can store four to five hundred catties of sweet potatoes, and the entire well can store more than 2000 catties.

The soil on the Loess Plateau is dry, and there is generally no water accumulation in the cellar.As long as the sweet potato skin is not damaged, it is not a problem to store it for several months.

Especially those sweet potato cellars on the shady side can even be stored in April next year.

However, its disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the lack of ventilation at the bottom for a long time causes hypoxia, and it is easy for people to suffocate when they enter it suddenly.Even in later generations, such tragedies often happen.

When Wang Manyin was a child, there was a case in the village: an old couple wanted to see how many sweet potatoes were left in the cellar.The man went down first, and when he got to the bottom of the well, he couldn't hear anything.

Panicked, the woman asked her grandson to pull a rope on the well and tied her waist down to check, but she also fell into a coma.

The grandson of his family realized that something was wrong, so instead of foolishly going down to rescue people, he ran to the village to call for help.

At that time, just a few days after the new year, there happened to be many young people at home, and they hurriedly brought electric fans to ventilate the sweet potato well.

Someone went down the well with a rope, and then carried the two of them out of the well.

Fortunately, due to timely rescue, the old couple finally survived safely.

After this incident, the villagers were much more careful when going down the sweet potato well.Generally, the manhole cover will be uncovered in advance to ventilate for half a day, or a candle will be put down to check whether there is a lack of oxygen.

But Wang Manyin didn't have to think too much about digging the cellar. After wiping the dried sweet potatoes, he only had [-] catties of sweet potatoes left (some of them were secretly taken out by Wang Manyin from the space), so there was no need to dig too much.

He has even dug a cave, so naturally he will not be troubled by a small cellar.

In a word, as soon as the cotton-padded jacket is taken off, you can pick up your little pout and start working.

When it was almost noon, Wang Manyin had dug a sweet potato well with a diameter of [-] cm and a depth of nearly two meters, and a large piece of floating soil was thrown around the field.

The wellhead is a bit large, which is not conducive to keeping warm in the later stage.

This is not a problem, the solution is very simple: just find a few wooden sticks to make beams, and pile up soil to shrink the wellhead.

After a short rest, Wang Manyin started digging earthworms to feed the pigs again.

Overall, his attempt to raise earthworms with fermented pig manure this year was relatively successful.Except for the need to continuously obtain earthworms from space for a period of time in the initial period, the later period basically achieved self-sufficiency.

Especially with the increase of soil manure, the number of earthworms is also increasing rapidly.

However, because a lot of weeds and loess have been mixed into it, the dung pile of Wang Manyin's house this year has attracted special attention.

Now there are almost [-] to [-] cubic meters, which is even more exaggerated than the earth dung David satellite released by Wang Dacai.

I don't know how Wang Lianshun will calculate next year's feces as work points.Of course, Wang Manyin doesn't care... Anyway, he doesn't live on work points.

If the production team doesn't want it, it can be used in their own plot.

Such a large pile of soil dung has a lot of earthworms growing in it.

Go down with a shovel, at least three or four are dug out, and the big ones are about as thick as chopsticks.It is roughly estimated that there can be fifty catties of earthworms in the entire dung heap.

It is precisely because of the sufficient supply of earthworms that the piglets grow fat very quickly.In just seven or eight months, it has reached [-] to [-] catties.

There are almost two months until the Chinese New Year, and at least [-] catties can be gained.

Of course, this data cannot be compared with a lot of advanced experience. Through various magical operations, people can grow pigs to two to three hundred catties in half a year.

Even so, the pig of Wang Manyin's family has become a well-known Internet celebrity in Guanzi Village.

Many people have started to follow the trend and use soil dung to raise earthworms to feed pigs, and most of them have achieved good results.After a few months, it is not clear how many catties the pig has gained, but it is obvious that there is fat on the pig's body, and it is no longer as skinny as usual, only showing a belly full of feces.

Seeing the effect, this method is not only spread in Guanzi Village, but even people from other nearby villages keep visiting for advice.Among them is the old man Sun Yuhou.

Still the same sentence, the members have been tossed more times, and they are more willing to see real things.If something is really beneficial, they will take the initiative to do it without urging them.

However, the weather is too cold in winter, and it is still a big problem to let earthworms survive the winter safely.When Wang Manyin was about to wait for the ice to freeze, he would lay a layer of wild grass on top.

After feeding the pigs, he was about to call it a day and cook when he heard the bicycle bell ring.

Turning his head, he saw Liu Qingli riding a bicycle not far away.

Wang Manyin thought that the other party was looking for him for dinner when he was free, so he greeted him with a smile: "Qingli, are you here? What a coincidence that you are in time. It happened that Rhubarb caught a pheasant two days ago. Let's stew it for lunch."

"Brother Manyin, forget about eating, I'll inform you to go to the supply and marketing cooperative for an emergency meeting in the afternoon." Liu Qingli stopped the car and replied with a sigh of relief.

"In the afternoon, there is an urgent meeting. What is the meeting, can you reveal it?" Wang Manyin said in surprise.

Although I have held many meetings in the supply and marketing cooperatives, this is the first time that it is so urgent.

"A big accident happened to Houzitou Supply and Marketing Cooperative. Last night, the storeroom lock was picked and more than 1000 yuan in cash was stolen, as well as cigarettes, radios and other miscellaneous things. You just know it. Don't tell other people in the village for now. "Anyway, I will talk about it at the meeting in the afternoon, and Liu Qingli didn't hide it.

"I'm going...who is so bold?" Wang Manyin was shocked.

He was surprised when the consignment point of Xiashan Village was stolen before.Later that person was arrested and reportedly sentenced to five years in prison.

I didn't expect that there were people who were less afraid of death, and even dared to steal from the supply and marketing cooperatives.

Houzitou Commune is adjacent to Shigejie Commune, about a hundred miles away from the county seat. It is also the most remote commune in the county, and it belongs to the mountains in the true sense.

Many villages there have no proper roads at all, and even bicycles cannot be used.People in the commune go to the market and have to walk across the mountains for a day or two.

When the commune holds a meeting of all members, they often go two days in advance, or even drive at night with torches.As for the situation in the villages in the mountains, it is even more unimaginable.

Some girls aged seventeen or eighteen can't hide their shame and ugliness with their clothes.Some people can't afford salt, so they just sweep some Guanyin soil at the bottom of the toilet wall and mix it into their meals.Because of the sparse population, the wild wolves wandered around the village in broad daylight as if they were in an uninhabited land (the description in this paragraph comes from the original work).

The few wild wolves that were killed near Guanzi Village came from the mountains.

After being surprised, Wang Manyin asked again in puzzlement: "The matter of Houzitou Supply and Marketing Co., Ltd. has nothing to do with our Shige Festival, so we have to hold an emergency meeting?"

"I don't know, I'll know when we have a meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon. Go early and don't be late. I'll also inform your village soldier captain that you won't eat here when you go to Shuangshui Village and Wangjiazhuang..."

After speaking, Liu Qingli hurried away on his bicycle.

Even Wang Yanqiang had to hold a meeting, which made Wang Manyin feel that this time the incident was quite serious.

Since he has a watch at home, it is much easier for him to check the time.

It's less than twelve o'clock now, it's too early for the meeting, and it's not too late to go after lunch.

It has been more than a week since I bought this watch. Wang Manyin has never shown it off in front of people. He usually keeps it at home. He and Lan Hua occasionally check the time.

The fire just started and someone came over to buy something.

After dealing with more than a dozen people intermittently, Wang Manyin finally had time to pick up a bowl to eat.Now it's not like summer, there are people coming to the door at noon, so he can't improve his life in the space.

Lunch is very simple, two black nests, a bowl of corn paste, two chopsticks of sesame salt in the rice bowl, and two green onions.

Taking advantage of the fine weather at noon, Wang Manyin started to eat in front of the cliff.

One bite of Heiwowo, two bites of scallions, and a few mouthfuls of rice with snorts and snorts, it's quite tasty.

After coming to this world for a year, Wang Manyin has already fully adapted to the current life.Big fish and meat can be eaten, and simple tea and light meals can still be swallowed.

Of course, after dark, their family will usually make a good meal.

While eating, rhubarb's cry sounded, and another customer came to the door...

At about two o'clock, Wang Manyin locked the kiln door and walked to Shigejie Commune.

Not far away, Wang Yanqiang caught up with him from behind on his bicycle.

When he got close, he stopped to say hello: "Come on, I'll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative,"

"Uncle Yanqiang, you just learned how to ride a bicycle a few days ago, is that okay? Why don't you change it?" Wang Manyin asked suspiciously.A few days ago, Wang Yanqiang also pushed a bicycle back from the supply and marketing cooperative, and now he dares to bring someone along.

"Don't worry, you won't be compensated if the car breaks down." Wang Yanqiang promised confidently.

Wang Manyin joked with a smile: "I'm not worried about breaking the car, but I'm afraid of falling into people. It's agreed, if you ride eastward and ride into the river, I will jump off the car first."

"Do you want to sit down, kid? If you don't sit down, I'm leaving."

……

It is fast to have a bicycle, but within 10 minutes, the two have entered the supply and marketing cooperative compound.

At this moment, there were already many people waiting in the courtyard, Lan Hua and Shaoan were also among them.

Seeing Wang Manyin, they hurried over to say hello.

There is a row of large characters pasted on the opposite cliff, a few tables are placed in front, and militiamen are on duty around them... The whole scene is no different from a meeting in Guanzi Village.

After completing a set of procedures, Guo Chaowang went to the main topic. First, he introduced the theft of the Houzitou Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and at the same time reminded all the consignment outlets below to be vigilant at night.The Houzitou Supply and Marketing Cooperative was stolen, largely due to the carelessness of the caretakers... they were actually drunk at night.

Then, a case officer spoke.

Wang Manyin also finally knew what was the point of calling the sales agents and militia captains from the villages over.

In addition to stealing cash, those thieves also took away a lot of valuables, which may be quietly cashed out later.

Shigejie Commune is adjacent to Houzitou Commune, and it is also the most likely place for thieves to appear.The other party specifically emphasized that everyone should be more vigilant, and should report any abnormality as soon as possible.

Although the man spoke clearly and murderously, Wang Manyin felt that it was unlikely that he would find the thief in a short time.

Now that the wind is tight, even a fool knows to hide the stolen goods for a while, and then sell them when the weather is calm outside.

Moreover, the Loess Plateau is full of hills and ditches, so if you just find a pothole to hide, it may be difficult to find.

Wang Manyin thought that this matter had nothing to do with him, so he went to chat with Lanhua after the meeting, and planned to go home together at night.

As a result, he had just chatted a few words when he was stopped by Liu Qingli.

"Brother Manyin, Uncle Guo asked you to go to the office."

"Now?" Although Wang Manyin felt a little strange, he did not refuse.

After entering the cave, he realized that the two investigators were also there, looking him up and down at the moment.

Seeing this situation, Wang Manyin inevitably felt a little uneasy.

He considers himself a law-abiding household and has never done anything wrong.However, normal people would feel a little uneasy if they were found by investigators.

"Uncle Guo, what can I do for you?"

Seeing that he was uncomfortable, Guo Chaowang smiled and comforted him: "Man Yin, I was the one who advised two comrades to find you. I heard that your dog is very powerful and can smell very small smells. Yes not real?"

Wang Manyin immediately understood: "Uncle Guo, do you want Rhubarb to find those thieves?"

"That's right, I don't know if your dog can do it." A middle-aged man nodded.

"I don't know about this either. My family's rhubarb does have a very keen sense of smell. There was... a large pig in the village before. It was lost with the help of rhubarb." Wang Manyin originally wanted to mention Wang Junxiang, but it was only on the edge of his mouth that he remembered that the other party was a Gambler.

If the two investigators heard the quarrel, they came to hug the grass and beat the rabbit, and then arrested Wang Junxiang and locked him in the study class for half a month, he would offend others.

After a pause, he continued: "According to what you said, the Houzitou Supply and Marketing Cooperative has been stolen for almost a day. I guess the rhubarb can't be smelled."

Wang Manyin is not a professional dog trainer, and he doesn't have a clear understanding of the keenness of his rhubarb smell.

But he faintly felt that it should be fine.I'm just afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, so I can't guarantee it.

Hearing this, the two investigators were a little disappointed.The main reason is that what Guo Chaowang said just now was a bit amazing, which made them have great expectations.

Finally, the middle-aged man said, "Can you let us meet Rhubarb?"

"No problem, I'll go back and get it." Now that Guo Chaowang has mentioned it, Wang Manyin will naturally not refuse.In fact, there is no way to refuse.

Seeing her husband coming out, Lan Hua asked worriedly, "Man Yin, what's the matter?"

She saw clearly just now that Guo Chaowang returned to the cave with two investigators.

Although Shaoan and Wang Yanqiang next to him did not speak, they also had doubts on their faces.

"It's nothing, they want to use our rhubarb to smell the thieves, I'll bring it back now..." Fearing that some people would think wildly, Wang Manyin told the truth directly.

"That's right, look at my pig's brain," Wang Yanqiang patted his head, "Your rhubarb has this ability, and you can't say that you can catch a thief. Let's go, I will send you back quickly..."

In this way, the two rushed back to Guanzi Village on their bicycles.

After four or 10 minutes of going back and forth, he appeared in the courtyard of the supply and marketing cooperative again.
