Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 131 Walking Up the River
While talking, everyone squirmed forward with the convoy.

Han Li also looked at the grain station in front of him. The whole grain station was surrounded by high brick and mud walls.

(The south should be called the grain management office, the north is called the grain station, and the city is called the grain supply station.)
There are many slogans written on the wall, such as: Actively sell patriotic food, a red heart will always go to D, fight against the sky to collect more food, pay more food, pay more food, and successfully complete the task of delivering food, etc.

At this time, Han Li heard the voice of a villager in the team behind him speak very loudly. He was talking about the situation of this grain station to the educated youths in his village in a showing off tone.

"Let me tell you that the grain station was built in 57. The country specially built it for the convenience of the common people's grain and tax storage. The tall walls outside are nothing. Rows of brick and tile houses. This round earthen warehouse has a long history. It was invented by Mingshui in Heilongjiang Province. It saves raw materials, has good airtightness, is convenient for pest control, has good ventilation performance, and is not easy to be affected by moisture. The advantage is that it was adopted by all parts of the country soon after it was invented. Since the commune has a grain station, we don’t have to send grain to the county, and it can save a lot of energy this time.”

At this time, the convoy from Shanghe Village had already arrived at the gate of the grain station, and the topic of discussion among the surrounding villagers turned to the workers here again.

In this day and age, those who can work in grain stations are envied by everyone, with good remuneration and high social status, and even a small leader would not change them.

The staff of the grain station are all very proud. In the era when food is supplied by food stamps, some people just buy more fine grains because of fawning.

This is especially true when paying public rations. No matter how powerful you are as a captain, you must say good things to others.

Especially for the grain inspectors, it is Jinkou Yuyan. He said that your grain will be harvested if it can be harvested, and if it cannot be harvested, it will not be harvested.

If you don't like it, then you will be dragged back to the sun for another two or three days, that would be the most unlucky thing.

However, Shanghe Village is still relatively smooth here. Village Chief Zhao has a good relationship with the director of their grain station. When the two of them are talking at the same time, the people below will naturally look at each other.

However, when Han Li saw the operation of the legendary grain inspector, he almost got internal injuries. Now that he is not far from other grain inspectors, he can't laugh loudly when he laughs, which makes him suffer a little. , Yun Yingying saw his trembling shoulders and asked.

"Han Li, what's wrong with you?"

"look."

Han Li pointed at the grain inspector lightly with his hand, and saw that he pierced the sack with a triangular iron drill, brought out some grain from inside, picked up a few grains with his hands, looked at them, and then put them in his mouth Take a bite and spit the grain to the ground to tell the grain grade and dry humidity.

Han Li pointed out the target to Yun Yingying, but she still didn't see anything ridiculous.

"I don't see anything."

Han Li whispered, "Do you know why the grain inspector would cover his cheeks from time to time?"

"do not know."

"You know how hard the dried grain is. Now the grain inspector has to work at least ten hours a day. During these hours, he has to keep biting the dried grain. Don't say it's so long. Human teeth are gone, even if a squirrel comes, I guess I can't hold it. Now he will cover his cheeks from time to time, which shows that his teeth are a little bit unbearable, but he has to bite, or he will receive some. Unqualified grain is a serious matter, and if it causes the grain in the entire granary to become hot and moldy, he will not be able to bear the entire responsibility.”

While they were talking, it was Shanghe Village's turn to weigh.

After the scale is over, the grain needs to be put into their respective granaries. This process requires the villagers to carry it in by themselves, and the grain station will not care about it.

Due to the characteristics of the earthen silo, the door below the granary is locked, and all grain needs to enter through the upper window.

The wooden boards of the grain station build a long pedal, which is connected from the ground to the window of the granary in sections.

A wooden trough similar to a funnel is placed at the window, and everyone steps on the wooden boards to pour grain into this trough.

Since the board is only more than 20 work points wide, it is really impossible to do this job with poor balance.

Of course, women can't do it either. They all help to untie the bag below, and hold hands when the man puts the bag on his shoulder.

Shanghe Village has the relationship with Village Chief Zhao, and they sent all the grain into the granary before the morning.

At this time, if you want to go back, you can go back with everyone. If you want to go around the commune and buy something, just talk to the captain.

Han Li and the others had just been to the county seat a few days ago, and now they were covered in sweat again, so they went back with the main force.

It was easier when we went back, and everyone talked and laughed along the way.

Hao Hongmei and the others were discussing that they would go up the mountain to collect firewood and wild fruits together after they went back. It would be better if they could pick up more hazelnuts, which can be used as food, so the sisters of the Yun family would naturally go with them. Yun Yingying came over When I called Han Li together, I was rejected.

"I won't go to the mountains with you today. After I go back, I plan to walk upstream along the small river by the village. I heard from the villagers that there is a big water pool in the upper reaches. It is very common to see big fish weighing more than ten kilograms in it. .”

"Then how do you catch fish without a fishing rod or net?"

"I'm just going to explore the way this time. If there is one, I will take you to go fishing next time."

"Then come back early and be careful on the road."

"Well, if I have something to gain, I will probably get home later, so don't wait for me and keep quiet."

"This... isn't in any danger, is it?"

"What danger can my skills have?"

The group of people talked for more than ten miles and quickly finished their journey. Han Li went home, put the crossbow in his back basket and set off.

After Han Li walked for a while, Hao Hongmei and the others went up the mountain with a basket and a rope.

But this time their team added two people when they first left, Jiang Xiaoli and old educated youth Li Hongxia.

Li Hongxia planned to visit her partner after the rations were distributed, so she wanted to pick up more mountain products, nuts and other things to bring there.

When Li Hongxia talked about her partner, her eyebrows were beaming, and she seemed to be much more energetic.

Her partner is also an educated youth, but they are the paid ones, belonging to the tall, rich and handsome among the educated youth.

And they are educated youths who went to the countryside to jump in the queue, and belong to the poor and short people among the educated youths.

There are collective canteens, supply and marketing cooperatives, clinics, post offices, power supply stations and so on.

Even when working in the fields, there are various large-scale agricultural machinery, and there is a family leave every two years, which is long enough for him to spend the Lantern Festival at home, etc.

However, she said that the object's work is relatively heavy, and even if the autumn harvest is over, she will not stop to rest.

The superiors will organize everyone to go up the mountain to cut trees or clean up the river, so that the situation will continue until the end of the year is approaching.

Li Hongxia introduced the situation of his partner as if showing off, and the others felt uncomfortable facing the third, sixth, and ninth grades.

But they still have an excuse to comfort themselves at this time, that is, they can have a long cat winter, and when they can go home to visit relatives next year, according to the situation of going to the fields here, they can rest at home for a longer time.

Ordinarily, Jiang Xiaoli could also go home, but she chose to leave later, and she still wanted to wait for the news of the places in the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.

At this time, she was reluctant to go home unless she got definite news.

At this time, they were not the only ones going up the mountain. The sisters-in-law, aunts, and half-old children in the village were all going out.

The task of adults is to find rations, and the task of children is to collect firewood.

Han Li has been walking up along the river, rather than saying that he is out hunting, it is better to say that he is walking in autumn.

There is a scene of autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves everywhere, not only are there golden yellow fallen leaves everywhere, even the grass by the river is starting to turn yellow.

Han Li seemed to be walking casually, but he was not idle at all.

The last time he got too few pine nuts, so he didn't have time to fry them. This time, pine nuts are also one of his main targets.

But the pine tree was too tall and far beyond his ability to climb ten meters. Climbing a tree?How can a tree with a height of 30 meters be so easy to climb? If you are not careful, you will finish the game, and climbing a tree is very waste of clothes. This is why the local people seldom think about pine nuts in recent years. It's not an easy job, otherwise no one would go up a tree in a hot air balloon to pick pine nuts.

So Han Li turned his idea to squirrels, squirrels are small storage experts, and a squirrel of three or four years can easily store hundreds of catties of nuts.

Along the way, Han Li dug out several tree holes where squirrels stored nuts, and obtained more than ten catties of pine nuts, hazelnuts, hickory nuts, and chestnuts.

Han Li was walking when he suddenly noticed a group of ducks in the river ahead.

Their heads and upper body are black, but their wings and lower body are white, which looks very beautiful.

This is the famous merganser. Although they are called mergansers, mergansers are migratory birds just like wild geese.

Every year at this time, they go to the south to spend the winter, and they will fly back to breed in April or May of the next year.

The merganser is a species that survived after the Tertiary Ice Age, and has a history of more than 1000 million years.

It is said that in 89, there were only 28 of them in the whole country.

Han Li looked at the distance between these beautiful mergansers and himself, thought about breaking down the meat in the space, and decided to let them go.

After letting the group of mergansers go, Han Li continued to walk upstream along the river. On the way, he also collected two large chaga.

It wasn't until it was getting dark that Han Li came to a pool of water. He didn't know if this was the place the villagers mentioned.

However, this did not affect Han Li's search for big fish. He sat on a protruding rock by the pool and took out the fishing rod he had prepared long ago.

Although this thing was made by him and it was relatively crude, the barbs on the hook could ensure that the opponent would not even try to run away after biting the hook.
