Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up
Chapter 420: Transporting Food Using Chicken Buses
The chicken bus that Shen Ping had asked Carpenter Li to make was already finished, and she had asked her eldest brother to deliver it over in advance.
After hearing the explosion, at the order of County Magistrate Xu, the large army retreating two miles away hurried to Qingfeng Mountain, and some people pulled chicken buses up the mountain.
Shen Ping and the other two walked up to the huge rock that had exploded. Although she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked when she saw it with her own eyes.
Rocks more than ten meters high were blown into pieces. Some of them, although still weighed several hundred kilograms, could be pried open with tools.
Some of the fallen rocks were just level with Qingfeng Mountain, and some were broken into powder. Soon the large force arrived, and everyone worked together to move the exploded rocks away.
The deep depressions were filled with cracked stones and then poured with crushed stones. Although the slope here was still a bit high, it was much better than before. At least there was no need to slide down the climbing rope.
Everyone also had a heated discussion about transportation. County Magistrate Xu told everyone not to worry and to propose any methods. Finally, after everyone's unanimous discussion, they finally decided on a transportation plan.
Taking into account the large number of people, the transportation is more flexible. All the food in the mountain has been dug up, and some people will pick it out first, just like a relay race, and then the people behind will take over. The places with the steepest slopes will be transported by chicken buses.
Everyone had never seen this kind of vehicle before, and they all thought it was strange, how could this vehicle with only one wheel be able to pull goods? Shen Ping first taught everyone how to keep balance, and then how to control this vehicle.
After some simple instructions, everyone was able to perform basic operations and was pleasantly surprised to find that this inconspicuous wheelbarrow could actually pull four or five hundred kilograms of grain, which is truly powerful.
Considering that Shen Ping's backyard was large enough and had a wall around it, the food they brought back was temporarily placed there. In order to allay everyone's concerns, a few people were sent to guard it.
In this way, everyone worked non-stop for nearly a week and finally transported all the food down the mountain. It took half a month from the beginning of discovering the food to the final transportation of the food down the mountain.
Although her home was at the foot of the mountain, Shen Ping had not entered her home once in the past half month. In order to boost morale, County Magistrate Xu, Constable Li, Shen Ping, a group of village chiefs and everyone else had been staying on the mountain.
After eating, they would take a break on the spot, and when they had rested enough, they would continue working, and they would work non-stop like this.
To celebrate the return of all the items, Shen Ping prepared a lot of food for the people in the kitchen, including pheasants, ducks, fish, rabbits, and half a wild boar that was left over, as well as plenty of rice and white flour buns.
The villagers were so happy! This time, everyone had a new understanding of Shen Ping. To dig for food, each household provided a young and strong laborer, but Shen Ping provided three slaves.
Not only that, the meals everyone had these days were all paid for by their family out of their own pockets. It was not just simple corn cob noodles, but white rice and white flour buns.
Not only that, they also had meat for every meal, and provided them with delicious food and drinks. What did they want? The villagers were puzzled. After thinking about it, they could only say that Dachunniang was generous and deserved to be rich.
Everyone's stomachs rumbled as they smelled the aroma of meat in the air. Many villagers had even quarreled at home over who should be sent out to fight.
Especially for a large family that has not yet divided up, they felt that it was unfair that they were the only one doing the work and everyone would have to eat the food together, but now they are feeling grateful.
Thanks to myself for coming out to dig for food, I can have white flour, rice, meat and vegetables every day, which is much better than staying at home. At least I can have a full meal.
Soon, the women in the kitchen cooked the dishes, steamed the white flour buns and made white rice, and people lined up in an orderly manner to get their food.
Soon, everyone had enough to eat and drink. County Magistrate Xu distributed the food to each village, and then the village heads and young and strong laborers used horse-drawn carriages to transport the food back to their respective villages for unified distribution.
According to rough calculations, cassava is the largest, with about 100,000 catties, followed by taro, with 70,000 to 80,000 catties, and bananas and taro, estimated to be 30,000 to 40,000 catties. The least is peanuts, probably only more than 10,000 catties.
With this calculation, each village received nearly 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms of cassava, plus taro and other things. Roughly speaking, if each household has a lot of people, they would get several hundred kilograms.
If you eat a little more sparingly and work harder to dig some wild vegetables, you can barely fill your stomach, and it won't be a problem to harvest the freshly planted crops.
Shen Ping carefully told everyone how to eat these grains. The most important one is cassava, which must be boiled in boiling water for half an hour, soaked for a day, and then fried with oil and salt. This way it tastes better.
The cassava stalks are the seeds. Shen Ping specifically asked everyone to carry the stalks before going down the mountain. When they got down the mountain, they were distributed to each village and the planting method was explained to everyone in detail.
Every village took the distributed food and left one after another. Finally, only Kaoshan Village was left. After nearly half a month of hard work, they were finally able to get their share of food. Everyone was very excited and felt that all the hard work for half a month was worth it.
Many people had originally not planned to go, but could not resist the threats and inducements of the village chief, who said that the county magistrate had issued an order that every family must send one person out, otherwise they would bear the consequences.
There was no other way to survive at the moment, so some people just gave it a try. Unexpectedly, they actually dug up some food. They were glad that they had made the right bet.
Some were happy while others were sad. Liu Popi and Li Dasuo felt regretful when they saw that some villagers had received several kinds of grain, which added up to several hundred kilograms.
Li Dasuo complained to Liu Popi: "It's all your fault. I wanted to go, but because of what you said, I couldn't go."
Liu Popi was already feeling bad, and Li Dasuo's complaints only added fuel to the fire: "Don't blame me for this. I can't stop you if you want to go."
Seeing that Liu Popi was angry, Li Dasuo softened his tone and said, "Brother Liu, don't be angry. I was just talking. Why don't we go and see if we can get some?"
After hearing what Li Dasuo said, Liu Popi also felt that this method was feasible and could at least be tried. The two hit it off and shamelessly lined up.
As soon as the two stood there, they were immediately recognized by everyone: "Hey, you two, you didn't get any share when we were working, but now when we're dividing things, you come running out, you're dreaming."
"that is!"
"Get them out!"
The village chief looked at the two of them, his head smoking with anger: "Look at the two of you, you were stubborn and refused to go at first, why are you here again now? It's too late!"
Liu Popi looked pitiful and said humbly, "Village Chief, please pity my mother. She hasn't eaten for three days.
I am young and strong, I can survive if I go hungry, but my mother is so old, she is still hanging on for life, how can you be so cruel! "
"This~"
The village chief was also in a dilemma.
It would be understandable if I didn't give it to that scoundrel Liu, but hearing how pitiful he sounded, if Feng starved to death, I would be the sinner.
Just as he was thinking about it, Feng came over cursing: "You little bastard, you still have the nerve to come here to collect food? You have embarrassed your mother. Go back to me quickly and stop embarrassing yourself here." As she said that, Feng raised her crutch again.
Hearing Feng's powerful curses, the village chief felt relieved. Feng's words were also giving him a way out.
The village chief said in a deep voice: "Liu rascal, I have said that you will not be allowed to collect food unless you go. Everyone has seen what you said and done. You'd better give up this idea!"
Seeing that Liu Popi didn't get the upper hand, Li Dasuo didn't dare to say anything, and the two of them left in disgrace. The farce came to an end for the time being, and the village chief continued to distribute food to everyone.
