Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 95

The worst thing happened!

Of the six detonators, only five were fired, and one did not.

"What should we do, Uncle Yanqiang?" Wang Manyin asked worriedly.

"What else can I do, wait... When it rings, go over..." Wang Yanqiang was not surprised.It is normal for those who engage in blasting to encounter unexpected situations in the middle.

Hearing their conversation, the rest realized that one of the detonators had failed.

At this time, Wang Junxiang asked a question: "Should we keep silent?"

"Then I'll send you to detonate bombs!" Wang Yanqiang replied with a smile.

"I dare not..."

This guy shrank his head and waved his hands again and again, looking even more timid than Wang Manyin.

"Then you ask me, why are the young people in our village getting more cowardly than each other. Don't even think about it... Let's put down a few square flags, and I will arrange the squibs later!"

When he said this, Wang Yanqiang did not hesitate at all.

There are generally two situations for a squib. The first is that the explosives in the fuse are uneven, causing it to go out or smolder during the combustion process.

This is also the most dangerous... If the person is behind the time, just went to remove it, and the detonator exploded.

There is also a poor contact between the fuse and the detonator, which is slightly less dangerous.Just be careful not to let the two come into contact when detonating.

Of course Wang Yanqiang knew there was danger, but he participated in the whole process of installing the explosives just now, and only he knew the general situation.

He is not at ease to let other people go.

Zhafang chess is very popular near the Shigejie Commune, and it is the best choice for foreign workers in the fields.

Or some people joked that "one game of chess, one bag of cigarettes. Two games of chess, grinding for a long time".

This kind of game does not require any preparations, just pick up any material Jiangshi and draw a square on the ground.Divided into five squares, seven squares...the two games are similar, except that the number of checkerboards is different.

Six people, two pairs are just right.

Wang Manyin picked Wang Yanqiang to play. At the beginning, he was worried about the squib, and he was a little absent-minded.But soon immersed in the chessboard.

Both sides come and go, each other wins and loses.

After playing a few rounds in a row, Wang Yanqiang asked aloud, "Many silver, how many rounds have you had?"

"There are more than a dozen rounds?"

Wang Manyin did not count the exact number of rounds, but he felt that the time was not short.

"No more, I'm going to detonate the bomb." Wang Yanqiang said, throwing the lump of dirt in his hand on the ground.

"Uncle Yanqiang, do you want to wait? Maybe it will ring soon."

Wang Manyin asked with some concern. "Don't wait, time is enough, it's going to ring early..."

Next, Wang Yanqiang asked others to wait in a safe area, while he walked carefully towards the quarrying area.

Watching the other party go away, Wang Manyin and the others were also worried.

There is no way, this is a matter of life.

Wang Qingming even raised his hands and kept bowing, whispering in his mouth: "Lord Dragon, the ancestors of Sanqing, please open your eyes and watch. Let Yanqiang get rid of the squibs safely, and I will steam jujube cakes for you next year! Cake, sweet and sweet, Guanyin Bodhisattva is safe!"

Wang Manyin was speechless: when is it, this man is still worshiping God.

But everyone's attention was focused on the distance, and no one blamed Wang Qingming for his untimely words.

On the contrary, Wang Yanqiang took a look in front of the unexploded detonator, and then cursed: "Who is responsible for the detonation in the fourth position, I will be your ancestor!"

"What's the matter, what's the matter? It seems to be Brother Junxiang!" Wang Manyin recalled carefully and replied aloud.

"This coward was not lit at all, just now I was in a cold sweat." Wang Yanqiang looked at the complete fuse and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Didn't you tell me that you wanted to go back together when you said it wasn't lit?" Wang Junxiang defended weakly.

"You didn't light it, you told us just now, you will waste time." Wang Yanqiang spoke, lit a match again, and then hurried back.

"In a hurry, I thought it was on fire,"

Wang Junxiang did a good job during the training, but he was scared when he saw the real chapter.At that time, he saw smoke coming from the fuses around him, so he poked the cigarette butt up in fright, and ran back.

As for whether it was ignited, he didn't see it clearly.

……

Fortunately, nothing went wrong this time, and with another explosion, the stone blasting work was finished perfectly.

Then, the crowd drove two donkey carts to the cliff to load stones.

At this time, Wang Manyin once again showed his ability.He picked up a hundred catties of stones by himself and threw them one after another.

Dirt roads are not easy to walk, and the two cars can be loaded with a thousand catties of stones at most.

Encountered potholes on the road, the donkey can't pull it at all, and several people need to push the cart behind with their buttocks sticking out.

Four or five miles away, the six people tossed and tossed for an hour.

When Wang Manyin and the others arrived at the construction site to unload the truck, Zhao Jianhai appeared with a piece of paper in his hand.

"Members, in order to cheer everyone up, I specially composed a poem called "The Most Beautiful Laborers". This is to praise the glorious and great laborers in our Guanzi Village!"

Before everyone could react, Zhao Jianhai had already recited in a high-pitched voice: "Ah, the cold winter is gone, and spring is here! The chests of the members of the second team of Guanzi Village are puffed up, and the enthusiasm of the members of the second team of Guanzi Village is rising! ...we stand on a high mountain ridge, looking at the east..."

The poem was well written, but it sounded awkward even when it was read from Director Zhao's mouth, as if it was deliberately trying to disgust everyone.

Wang Manyin felt his teeth numb, and almost dropped the stone he just lifted.

Wang Yanqiang next to him also curled his lips, and said in a low voice: "This white chicken shit, it's useless to clean up these cockroaches. Just now, he should let him discharge the squib..."

The cultivation of crops on the Loess Plateau is the same as in most areas in the north, with three crops in two years.After harvesting wheat, peas and rapeseed, millet, buckwheat noodles, corn and other autumn crops are planted.Therefore, there is a saying called "Mihuang grows wheat, and wheat yellow grows rice".

In addition, the general production team will reserve some spring land.

When the weather is warmer, plant beans, sweet potatoes, yams and so on.

The second team of Guanzi Village has more than 100 households, with more than [-] male and female laborers.

Now the spring plowing preparations have started, except for dozens of people left on the construction site, the rest of the labor force has been sent to work in the farmland.Therefore, the second team could hardly see idlers now, which made Zhao Jianhai's behavior particularly dazzling.

After reading one of his emotional poems, no one applauded what everyone should do.

Zhao Jianhai put down the paper, pretended to ask Wang Lianshun a few questions about the project, and then left in despair.

After the two carts of stones were unloaded, it was almost time for dinner.

Wang Shouchang had brought several mothers-in-law and aunts from the village to the construction site, carrying twig baskets and wooden barrels.

At noon, stewed geese with artichokes and corn nests.

A wild goose can be chopped up to six or seven pieces of meat, and there are dozens of people on the construction site. It is quite good for one person to share a few pieces.

But the corn nests are enough... Wang Lianshun arranged for four women to be busy from the morning, and steamed five large wattle baskets.

Wang Manyin had been picking stones for a long time, and was already hungry.

When the food was ready, he skewered four corn nests with chopsticks, and sat down on the yellow ground to eat.

I put a piece of wild goose meat in my mouth, it's so salty!

This of course has his credit.

There is no way, Wang Manyin is the first time to do dried wild geese, so he has no experience.Afraid of spoiling the meat, I had to add more salt to it.

But everyone is doing physical work, so it's good to eat something salty, otherwise there will be no energy.

After resting for an hour in the afternoon, Wang Yanqiang took a few people to the back of the village to set off cannons and rocks.

There was no accident this time, and all six detonators rang.

***
As soon as Wang Manyin arrived at the construction site in the morning, he was about to report to Wang Yanqiang when he was called to the side by Wang Lianshun.

"Manyin, I borrowed a few meat tickets from the educated youths. You know someone in the supply and marketing cooperative, can you give us some meat for the second team. There is only one wild goose left, and I can eat it for a day at most tomorrow."

These days, if it doesn't matter, you may not be able to buy meat with a meat ticket.

Except for festivals, food stations usually kill a pig every day.

Now people can't afford to feed their pigs, and the pigs are relatively thin.

It looks like a big skeleton, but it has a belly full of shit, and it can't kill the meat at all.A catty of piglets can usually produce six and a half meat, which is considered good.

A 150-jin pig can yield up to [-] jin of meat.

There are so many units in the commune, each of which has to leave a certain "internal share".If you do any calculations, half a pig is gone.

If you can get it for sale at the window of the food station, it is not bad if it weighs forty or fifty catties.

There are more than a dozen villages under the Shigejie Commune, each with hundreds of people.Calculated, each village can get two catties of meat every day.

When it comes to individuals, there is not even a penny.

This is not counting the educated youths in the villages... They all have meat tickets in their hands, so naturally they won't waste them.

So if any family wants to buy meat, they will go to the food station early and queue up.A little later, even the bone dregs can't be seen.

But... that's just for the average person.

"Uncle Lian Shun, I'm sure we can get some meat, but I'm afraid there won't be much of it." Wang Manyin replied after a moment of hesitation.He told Guo Chaowang that he would definitely get a few catties of meat.

This earth dam battle will take at least two months, and a few catties of meat are not enough.

On the contrary, the fat pig raised in my own space weighed more than 100 catties in more than three months, and it was almost ready to be killed.

Of course, Wang Manyin didn't intend to make a contribution.

I got so much meat back at once, there is no way to tell the source clearly.It's not okay to infer that it was obtained from a food station... as long as people inquire about it, they can immediately notice the abnormality.

Or kill the pig later and eat it slowly at home.

"In that case, you can buy as much as you want first, and I'll think about the rest. No way, find a few people to fish in the Dongla River. Although there are many small fish bones, they can still be handled by the laborers. Do such a heavy job Son, it’s impossible without meat..."

Wang Lianshun scratched his head anxiously.

"Uncle Lian Shun, I thought of a way." Wang Manyin's eyes lit up suddenly.

"What method, tell me quickly?"

"Beat wolves! A few days ago, I took the educated youths to the Langwo Mountain to cut firewood, and saw wolves in the cliff ditch!"

"Can this work? The wolf is not a dead thing, it has been staying there all the time. Besides, even if you find the wolf's den, it won't work. This thing is very smart. If you see people running away, how can you give them a chance to fight!" Wang Lianshun After hesitating for a moment, he asked back.
