The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 3, Taking care of the secret realm

After getting off the bus, Li Weiguo almost vomited.

The shuttle buses of this era had a really strong smell. The people in the car were packed together, which was comparable to taking a train. In addition, the road surface at this time was all dirt and uneven, which could knock people apart.

The one who got off the bus together was a farmer from the commune, in his forties, a typical farmer.

"Hello, comrade, are you from the Red Star Commune?"

"Yeah, what's the matter with you?"

"Hello, I want to go to the commune, and change some vegetables to grow back, and grow them in my own yard."

"Change vegetables, then you can find the right person. My name is Wang Mancang, you can call me Old Wang. My home is in Hongxing Commune. Come with me. I have a lot of vegetables at home. If there are not enough, I will help you." Ask the people in the village." Wang Mancang said enthusiastically.

As the closest commune to Forty-Nine City, it is normal for city residents to come out to exchange supplies.

Wang Mancang is used to it, and even welcomes it, to exchange information.

Otherwise, where do daily necessities such as cloth tickets, coal tickets, oil tickets, salt tickets, and match tickets come from? Rural people have no unit to give them benefits, so they have to exchange them.

Following Wang Mancang, he walked on the dirt road for about half an hour before arriving at Wang Mancang's house.

I chatted a lot with Wang Mancang along the way, but I didn’t expect that Lao Wang was actually the production team leader. Hey, this saves trouble.

It's easy to get to Hongxing Commune. The villagers are quite happy with Li Weiguo's exchange of vouchers for grain and vegetable seeds.

Without much effort, Li Weiguo got enough seeds from Wang Mancang and other villagers.

Food includes wheat, corn, and sweet potatoes. Each requires enough to grow two or three acres of land, but there is no more left. The country was communeized at the end of last year, and not much remains in private hands.

No rice was found. The imperial capital likes pasta, and rice is rarely grown.

There are many kinds of vegetables, such as radish, cabbage, leek, lettuce, pepper, green pepper, beans, tomatoes, cucumber, eggplant, lettuce, soybean, onion, ginger and garlic.
Each family patched together, and the basic types were assembled, and each of them asked for enough land for planting.

I only paid a small amount of cloth stamps, kerosene stamps and salt stamps.

All the transactions were completed at Wang Mancang's house. The villagers exchanged the tickets they wanted, put down the seeds and left.

Taking advantage of no one else in the room, Li Weiguo asked in a low voice: "Brother Wang, chickens, ducks, geese, little rabbits, piglets, lambs, can you get these cubs?"

Wang Mancang was startled when he heard this, thought for a moment, and said: "Chickens, ducks, geese, and rabbits are very common, so there is no problem. But piglets and lambs are more difficult."

Disaster?Could it be a question of price?
"Piglets cost 10 yuan each, and lambs cost 8 yuan each. You can also buy tickets of equal value." Li Weiguo said.

Hearing the price, Wang Mancang did not hesitate: "Okay. I can only get you a few in small quantities. It's hard to get more. That is to say, life is difficult this year, and there is not so much food to feed poultry and livestock. Otherwise, I It won't be given to you."

Ten yuan is enough to buy twenty kilograms of pork, and a piglet can have several taels of meat.

In the end, Li Weiguo asked Wang Mancang to prepare ten pairs of chicken, duck and goose seedlings, three pairs of rabbits, two pairs of piglets, and two pairs of lambs.

Chickens, ducks and goose seedlings are priced at 2 wool per pair, rabbits at 3 wool, piglets at 10 yuan each, and lambs at 8 yuan.The total price is 78.9 yuan.

At the same time, Wang Mancang asked Wang Mancang to pay attention to whether there were any fruit saplings in the village or in the surrounding mountains. If there were any, he would also want them. It cost 2 cents a tree, and only [-] trees of each variety were needed.

First gave 10 yuan as a deposit, and agreed to receive the goods after half a month.

After all, there is no food for feeding at the moment, half a month is enough space to harvest three rounds of food, and then the development of the breeding industry will be basically no problem.

Spring wheat is harvested in 80-90 days, sweet potatoes are harvested in about 120 days, and corn is harvested in about 120 days.

Harvest time varies slightly in different regions and seasons.

In the space, the four seasons are like spring, the land is fertile, and the time flow rate is 24 times faster. After planting it, it takes about 5 days to basically harvest a round.

On the car back to the city, Li Weiguo focused all his attention on space.

Simply divide the 10 acres of space.

The vegetable garden is planned to be half an acre, which is almost enough. After all, green vegetables can’t be sold at a high price. Everyone can buy them with or without a ticket. You don’t need to grow too much, just enough for yourself.

The medicine garden is half an acre, and the space should be set aside first to grow some valuable medicinal materials later.

The orchard is also 1 mu. Fruits are considered a luxury, and the business is more eye-catching. Just collect more than a dozen fruit trees to meet your needs for food and gifts.

The remaining eight acres of land are all used to grow food, and there is always nothing wrong with a variety of food.

You can eat it yourself, breed it, or sell it. Only when you have food in hand can you not panic.

As for the large lake on the south side of the 10 mu of farmland, you can raise some aquatic products such as fish, shrimp, crabs, turtles and the like to enrich your own dishes.

Go back and find a fish pond or reservoir outside to collect some, and just cultivate a small amount.

After all, in the era of lack of oil, water and seasoning, fish and aquatic products were not very popular with the common people, and at most they could satisfy their own appetite.

Don’t you see that the third master catches fish, but he never eats it himself, and sells all of them, why?
Cooking fish consumes too much oil. With this amount of oil and water, it is enough for a month's consumption. How can ordinary families be willing to do so.

With a thought in his mind, Li Weiguo turned over the 10 acres of land in the space and planted various seeds according to the planned area.

Wheat, corn, and sweet potatoes were planted for one-third of the land, and the rest of the vegetables were mixed together, occupying half an acre of land.

After one harvest, there will be enough seeds to slowly fill all the land.

At the same time, the space also sets the order of regular rainfall in each area, timely harvesting, storage, and resowing.

The secret space is like a certain farm or ranch, and the set orders can be completed one by one.

This just makes it easier for Li Weiguo to manage the secret realm. Otherwise, the time flow rate would be 24 times different, and it would be embarrassing to miss the harvest in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the well-organized space, I felt relieved, and then stopped paying attention.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to the courtyard.

"Weiguo, are you at home?"

A middle-aged man's voice came from outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and someone stepped in.

Short hair, beer belly, in his forties, exactly the bangs of the second uncle in my memory.

"Hey, the second uncle is here, please sit down, I'll pour you a glass of water." Li Weiguo greeted with a smile.

"When I came back, I heard from Lao Yan that you were much better today, so I came over to have a look. It seems that you have come out." Liu Haizhong sat down and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, Second Uncle, I'm fine, think about it."

"Well, that's right, life is still going on." Liu Haizhong reassured.

For the second uncle Liu Haizhong suddenly came to comfort him, Li Weiguo found it inconceivable, in the original memory, it seemed that he didn't have much friendship with the second uncle's family.

I didn't know what this old gangster wanted to do, so I asked, "Second uncle, did you come here today for something?"

"Hehe, that's how it is, Wei Guo, when you come back from the army, the street is responsible for allocating work. Your father, although sacrificed, can take up the post in the factory. How did you plan to go? Do you want to be the top post, or should you reassign the streets?" Since Li Weiguo was straightforward, Liu Haizhong asked accordingly.

"Um, I haven't thought about this yet, what advice does the second uncle have?"

Hearing what Liu Haizhong said, Li Weiguo remained calm on the surface, but became vigilant in his heart, wondering what the old boy wanted to do.
