Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 87 The first is our class

Li Jin was also digging at intervals of one or two meters, and stopped after digging four or five plants. Xu Qingfeng followed behind to check the weight of the sweet potatoes. Every sweet potato plant was growing very well.

Almost one sweet potato weighing two catties plus five or six sweet potatoes weighing one catty.

"That's right, the sweet potatoes here are basically ready to be harvested," Xu Qingfeng said.

In contrast, these sweet potatoes have a shorter maturity period of one or two months, which means that they can harvest twice a year.

"Let someone dig it tomorrow." Li Jin said directly.

"If there are so many potatoes and sweet potatoes, some of them will be kept, and the rest will be sent to the regiment headquarters, and then the regiment leader will hand them over to the headquarters and send them to Yan'an for cultivation." Xu Qingfeng said, as long as they are cultivated well, the Eighth Route Army will not have to feed them in the future. worried.

"Well, I think so too." Li Jin nodded.

"Besides, isn't this stuff cooked every two months? It can be charged a few more times." Xu Qingfeng continued.

"Not necessarily. It is estimated that only the newly cultivated sweet potatoes have this effect. The ones cultivated with these later may mature faster than other sweet potatoes, but not too much faster." Li Jin said quickly.

According to the system, only the freshly harvested seeds can be ripened every two months, and those cultivated later will not achieve this effect.

"That's right, but the maturity period is shorter. As long as the output is still so high, not to mention so high, even if it is [-]-[-]% less, it will be great." Xu Qingfeng said.

It is [-] to [-]% less, and the output is still much higher than other outputs, which is very good.

"Old Xu, go and bury the potatoes in the ground, and come back tomorrow to harvest them." Li Jin said, they didn't bring anything when they came here, so it's troublesome, and it's the same when they come to get them tomorrow.

"Okay." Xu Qingfeng nodded, and walked to the potato field not far away.

Li Jin is also burying the dug sweet potatoes back.

He left two sweet potatoes weighing two catties, wiped the mud off the sweet potato leaves with the sweet potatoes, and then went to join Xu Qingdong.

When Li Jin arrived, Xu Qingfeng had just buried the potatoes.

"Old Xu, continue." Li Jin threw a sweet potato at Xu Qingfeng, then took out his dagger and began to peel the sweet potato, and Xu Qingfeng did the same.

Li Jin bit into the peeled sweet potato, which was egg yolk.

A rattling sound came from his mouth.

"It tastes so sweet." Li Jin said as he walked.

"Well, it's not bad." Xu Qingfeng nodded. Although raw food is not as good as cooked food, it's not too bad.

Of course, eating raw can cause stomach pains.

"Platoon leader, how many catties of sweet potatoes do you think we should keep?" Xu Qingfeng asked.

It is necessary to hand in, but you should also keep some on your side, so as not to have nothing to eat when you change bases in the future.

"Let's keep more than 2 catties. Among them, I plan to distribute [-] catties to the villagers in several villages. After all, they support us so much, and we should repay them." Li Jin said.

Most of the young men in several villages have been sent to serve as soldiers. It is unreasonable not to give their families some benefits.

"Well, you can have this." Xu Qingfeng agreed, the first three rows were not capable of benefiting the villagers.

Now that there are so many high-yielding sweet potatoes, it would be unreasonable not to share some with them so that they can have enough food in the future.

Besides, the Eighth Route Army originally wanted to make the people of the world live a better life, and their practice of three rows is equivalent to letting some people have enough food in advance.

"However, before giving them, some village chiefs should tell the villagers not to eat them as food, but to keep them as seeds," Li Jin said.

If the villagers ate the sweet potatoes they got as food, they really don't know what to say.

"It's natural, even if they don't say it, they should understand." Xu Qingfeng said, the villagers can still tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal.

"In terms of distribution, according to the number of people in each household, one person will get ten catties, and those who serve as soldiers in the third row will get ten catties more." Li Jin said.

This way they have nothing to say. After all, the soldiers in the third row will go to the battlefield in the future.

"Yes." Xu Qingfeng nodded.

That's the fairest thing to do.

Like the practice of fifty catties per household, it is easy to cause dissatisfaction in a large household, but ten catties per person is different, which means that everyone gets the same share.

.........

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Li Jin had already had the shovel and sacks ready.

A group of fighters gathered in the open space.

"There is no training today. Let's collect sweet potatoes and potatoes. I bought a box of cigarettes. Whoever digs the most will get the most cigarettes." Li Jin said slowly.

Hearing this, the male soldiers' eyes lit up, grandma's, cigarettes, I've never smoked them before.

"Platoon leader, you are so unfair, we don't smoke." A female soldier said.

"That's right, we don't smoke." Other female soldiers also echoed.

"Of course I haven't forgotten you guys. Female soldiers form three squads, and that squad digs more and can get a few more bolts of cloth. As for this cloth, you can make clothes if you want, and I won't stop you." Li Jin laughed.

"That's about the same." The female soldiers suddenly smiled.

"Okay, get the shovel and sack immediately, let's go!" Li Jin ordered, and all the soldiers went to get the shovel and sack.

On the way there, several squad leaders also competed against each other.

"Old Zhao, you can't compare to us, so give up." Liu Changshun said.

"Ah bah! Is your class comparable to my class? You should give up!" Zhao Ming replied unwillingly.

"Heh, let's see Zhenzhang under your hands and see whose soldiers are better." Liu Changshun snorted coldly and looked back at the soldiers in the first group.

"Class [-], we want to take the first place this time! Do you have confidence!" Liu Changshun shouted.

"Yes!" The soldiers of Squad [-] responded loudly.

"Second class, do you have confidence!"

"Yes!! The cigarettes are ours!"

For a while, the morale of the male soldiers was high, and the female soldiers were not to be outdone. The same few words raised the morale of the female soldiers.

Seeing these fighters were full of fighting spirit, Xu Qingfeng and Li Jin couldn't help but smile.

"Competition is the motivation." Xu Qingfeng said with a smile.

Soon, everyone arrived at the potato field, and following Li Jin's order, the soldiers made their distribution and began to dig up the potatoes.

Every male soldier and female soldier worked hard. For male soldiers, smoking two more good cigarettes was motivation, and smoking dry cigarettes every day was nothing.

And female soldiers are also full of motivation for new clothes, there is nothing better than one more new clothes.

Only Li Jin and Xu Qingfeng watched the soldiers work leisurely.
