Chapter 506 Hungry Hungry Hungry...

There is a shortage of food. There is a shortage of food all over the country.

It was at this time that the country reduced the food supply to three pounds for infants, six pounds for children, eight pounds for children, and 21 pounds for adults. Lingxi scratched her head when she saw the notice.

An adult weighs 21 pounds and averages seven taels a day. What is this enough for?Lingxi has the smallest appetite in her family, but she definitely eats more than that in a day.

Let’s change it to something more specific!
Two liang of a steamed bun, like Gu Si and Pei Yanning, two people can eat about three or four steamed buns in one meal. They can eat a day's supply in one meal. This is just the steamed buns, plus some side dishes and so on. It's more than enough.

And the child's eight pounds is even more frightening.

Ming Yang's current household registration is in their family. He is nine years old and is considered a child. He receives eight kilograms of food a month.

What can I do with these eight pounds?
On average, it takes two and a half taels a day, which is just a little more than one steamed bun. Ming Yang can eat two or three steamed buns if he opens his mouth.Even if you don’t eat it openly, if you don’t want to be hungry, just have a steamed bun for a meal!That's six taels a day, and eighteen kilograms of grain a month.

This is definitely not enough!

then what should we do?

The children no longer have any spare time activities. The older ones took all the younger ones out to dig wild vegetables. Those who have yards at home have planted densely cultivated sweet potatoes in their homes. They have planted many sweet potatoes.

A small yard is not big, but it still has four or five plots of land.

All of them are planted with sweet potatoes, and they can harvest hundreds of thousands of catties a year. The whole family's life is considered saved.

As for the families who live in Tongzilou without a yard, people are also talking about it. They use large woven baskets filled with soil and plant sweet potatoes on them, dividing the open space in the factory into densely packed areas.

Everyone just hopes that the sweet potatoes will grow up quickly.

When the time comes, you can eat the sweet potato leaves and the sweet potato roots, and the sweet potatoes buried underneath are even more edible. In short, the whole body of the sweet potato is a treasure.

but--

Now is the time of crisis.Hungry, hungry, hungry...

The belts of hungry people are getting tighter and tighter, and people are picking flowers, grass and leaves all over the mountains and fields. As long as they can eat, they are brought to their homes. Many people just use the leaves to break up and cook them into a paste. They drink them until their stomachs are full. Clang.

Some people have connections with the farm next door. They can get the alfalfa that is grown to feed livestock. Wash it and cut it into small pieces. If the conditions are good, add some salt and some noodles, and make it into vegetable dumplings and steam them. To eat, if the conditions are not good, just boil the vegetables into paste. Anyway, livestock can eat humans as well.

Lingxi also heard that some people stole wheat seedlings to eat, and some picked poplar leaves and willow leaves to eat.

In the backyard of Lingxi's house, they still had to plant whatever vegetables mattered. In the front yard, Gu Si and Pei Yanning also got some big baskets for soil, and they followed the trend and planted two rows of sweet potatoes, for a total of sixteen baskets of sweet potatoes. They are placed on both sides of the bluestone road from the screen wall to the main door of the main house.

Pei Yanning and Gu Si no longer let Lingxi go out.

At a time when everyone is hungry, with a sallow complexion and slender steps, the fair and tender little wife is too eye-catching.

And there was some chaos inside the factory.

Recently, there have been a lot of beggars coming to the factory. They rushed into the factory without noticing. The group of young men in the security department also had to find food. They had to look for food. They were working in shifts like this, and it was a bit difficult to watch. Come.

Lingxi is too eye-catching, so it's not good to go out.

Lingxi: "..."

Fine!

If you don't let me go out, you won't let me go out.

Gu Si and Pei Yanning were worried that she was too energetic, so they found something for her to do.

What are you doing?
