EBE Chapter 221 Good or Bad
Chapter 221 Good or Bad
There are five levels of grain. Level one and two are the best, and levels three, four, and five are ordinary grain. The amount of grain required to be paid for different levels is different, and the money converted into it is also different.
The grain was identified as fourth-grade grain, and several dozen kilograms of water content were deducted, which meant that more than 200 kilograms of grain were paid in excess.
One acre of land produces 180 kilograms of grain, and Jiangjia Village has 517 acres of land.
You need to pay a certain amount of grain.
These include corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.
After eating, when these people left, Jiang Huainan wanted to follow them.
Jiang Wen stopped him and arranged for Huainan to go to Hewanwan to wash clothes.
When I came back from washing the clothes, there was no one there. Everyone had left. I felt embarrassed to stay at home.
Gu Lixia asked Jiang Wen to fill four bottles of hot water and send them over.
Wait for Jiang Wen to come back, wash up, go back to the house, and enter the space.
Because of the issue of paying public grain, the two people started talking inexplicably.
But I don't feel happy.
Two people, both unhappy.
Gu Lixia’s period is coming, so she made some red date and black chicken soup.
Red dates and black chicken soup can replenish qi and nourish yin, and has a certain effect on menstrual disorders. Regular consumption can also beautify the skin.
Gu Lixia first soaked the red dates and white fungus in clean water.
Wash the black-bone chicken and chop it into small pieces.
Add appropriate amount of water to the pot, put in onion, ginger, red dates, cooking wine, and black-bone chicken.
Bring to a boil over high heat, skim off the foam, then add the washed and torn white fungus into small pieces, continue to simmer for 10 minutes, then reduce to low heat and simmer for more than an hour, add salt and pepper.
Gu Lixia drank two bowls and called Jiang Wen who was reading a book, asking Jiang Wen to take care of it.
Gu Lixia went back to the room to wash and sleep.
I got up, it was the 3rd, and I made soybean and pig’s trotter soup.
100 grams of soybeans and 1 pig’s trotter.
Soybeans are rich in nutrients such as protein, iron and zinc, which help to replenish blood.
Pig's trotters are rich in collagen, protein and other ingredients, which also help to replenish qi.
After scalding the pig's trotters in boiling water, pluck out the hair and scrape off the loose skin. Soak the soybeans in advance for 1 hour and set aside.
Wash and slice the ginger, cut the green onion into sections, add water and ginger slices to the pig's trotter and boil, skim off the foam, add wine, green onion and soybeans, cover and simmer over low heat.
When it is half cooked, add salt, cook for another hour, add MSG, and it is ready to eat.
Soybean and pig's trotter soup is for lunch.
For breakfast, Gu Lixia made soy milk and heated up steamed buns.
Make room and tidy up the house.
Open the door and Jiang Wen goes to fetch water.
He lit the fire and boiled a kettle of hot water, then Jiang Wen went to deliver the water.
Gu Lixia made breakfast, and her family members' meals were also affected.
Gu Lixia made millet porridge and pancakes.
Fortunately, the people in Jiangjia Village will wait for other villagers to come up before coming to their homes for dinner.
After Jiang Wen came back and had dinner, Gu Lixia took Huaixi to work.
Jianghuai South and Jianghuai North are in ink.
When Jiang Wen came over, Gu Lixia had already started cleaning.
To work.
After get off work, Jiang Wenxian took Huaixi to check on the grain delivery.
Today some aunties and sisters-in-law came to the city to buy things.
With them cooking, Jiang Xiu didn't have to do any more work.
Gu Lixia went back and waited for the first group of people to eat, then asked Jiang Xiu to lead Huaibei and Huainan to go and take a look.
The hard work of going to the countryside.
Jiang Xiu followed behind, and the person in front was carrying the Jiang family's thermos.
When I got to the intersection of the supply and marketing cooperative, I saw a sea of people.
I heard from the elders in the same village who were waiting for food that they kept sitting on the sacks of grain and didn't dare to leave.
The sun was extremely scorching. Even if you wore a big hat and sat still, you would still sweat profusely, not to mention the people in line.
All those who had not paid their grain tax waited on the street outside the grain station for a whole night. Some fell asleep on the ground, some could not sleep at all, and some were probably too tired and snored while leaning on the sacks of grain.
Jiang Xiu squeezed to the front and saw the quality inspector insert a half-empty iron pipe into the sack of rice, then put the pulled-out rice on a tray, sniffed the grain with his nose, and then took a few grains and put them in his mouth and started chewing.
The people watching were so dreadful that they could only wait for the inspector to speak. After a while, the inspector said impatiently, "This grain hasn't been dried yet, and there are a lot of impurities. Take it back to dry it, and sieve it clean before bringing it back."
Pulling it back to dry again would waste a lot of manpower and resources, and no one wants to do that.
Faced with unfair treatment when paying public grain, almost everyone would choose to endure it. Although they were extremely reluctant, they had no choice but to say nice words and give cigarettes.
Jiang Xiu, Jiang Huainan and Jiang Huaibei stood next to Jiang Wen, staring blankly.
Jiang Wen held Huaixi in his arms.
Jiang Xiu almost cried.
After we got back, the noodles were just coming out of the pot. We each ate a bowl and no longer felt in a good mood.
Cherish food.
Just 4 words.
too difficult.
Jiang Xiu began to fear the idea of going to the countryside.
No matter how much my sister-in-law said, it was not as shocking as seeing it with my own eyes.
Go to work and school.
After getting off work, Jiang Xiu counted and found that her family had earned 10 kilograms of cornmeal.
When the people from Jiangjia Village returned, the team leader sent the squad leader of Team 3 to return the thermos.
No one mentioned it, and Jiang Xiu didn't say anything either. Anyway, these things will be settled later.
……
Early in the morning on the 8th, we started picking corn in the yard.
Before breaking the corn, peel it open to see how the kernels look.
If the ones are too tender, take them down and cook them.
The old ones grow densely.
It means good-looking.
Grab the corn stalk with one hand and use the other hand to break the corn off.
I was sweating after just breaking off a few Huaibei and Huainan trees.
Jiang Xiu, on the other hand, is not spoiled at all.
Jiang Xiu thought of the day when the villagers came to pay their grain tax. The scorching sun was baking the earth as if it was on fire. There was not a single tree in the grain station, and quotations written in red on a white background were still left on the walls of the houses on both sides.
Under the eaves, there stood strange uncles and aunts, their faces sweating as they waited to pay their taxes. They held straw hats in their hands, fanning themselves and complaining.
In that kind of weather, there is actually no difference between being under the eaves and being under the sun, except that one feels better in the heart. Although the harvest is good, there seems to be no joy on the face, because one has to look at the expressions of those people at the grain station.
If I graduate and don't take over, I will be the same as them, no different.
Even worse than them.
After all, they have been farmers for many years.
After breaking it, rub the corn.
Use scissors to poke a slit in one row of corn kernels.
You can quickly remove the corn kernels by peeling them directly with your hands or rubbing two corns together.
This is the only way and the fastest way.
Gu Lixia did these things slowly and leisurely.
I haven't done this kind of work for many years.
My hands are not used to it at all.
Can't do it quickly.
Jiang Wen, on the other hand, rubbed very quickly.
In the middle of the morning, the sun came out.
