Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

Let’s not talk about the population rations, just the work-based rations, I’m afraid each worker only gets 5-6 jin.”

"That's why there are those cunning and lazy people in the team. With just the rations, they can get by even if they don't have enough to eat."

"Indeed, he can, but he can only make a living by himself, but what about the rest of the family?

Isn't there a saying in that family that if there are several children, the adults are so immoral, how can the children be diligent?"

"That's right! Then how many sweet potatoes can our family get?"

"We're not sure about that. We'll know when we distribute the sweet potatoes tomorrow."

"Too."

It was not until the next day that we found out that everyone first checked how many centimeters each family had earned, and then started lining up to receive the sweet potatoes.

At this time, what people envy the most are families with large populations.

I really didn't expect that sweet potatoes were distributed according to population, without any distinction of grade, and everyone could get 140 kilograms.

In other words, the family of five can share 700 kilograms of sweet potatoes.

At this rate, from now until the beginning of next spring, we should not have to worry about other foods, and sweet potatoes alone will be enough.

And you don’t have to worry about not having enough food or not being full.

Otherwise, why do we envy those families with large populations? Just for sweet potatoes, some families can get more than 2000 kilograms. Even if some families do not get more than 2000 kilograms, they are still large grain recipients.

Many families have more than 1000 kilograms, which is really enviable. If mixed with other grains, it is enough to eat all year round.

As for soybeans, the yield per mu is not very high, only about 100 kilograms.

Moreover, these are all planted in the fields, near the foot of the mountain.

Although the entire Huangzhuang has planted a lot of crops, it still has to be handed over to the public first, and then enough is kept for the collective. Apart from the share allocated to each household, the rest is sold to the grain station.

If we don't follow the principle of 50% work per person and % work per person, our family of five would only get kilograms of soybeans.

In addition to making tofu, soybeans can also be used to grow bean sprouts when there is no vegetable available.

Or it can be processed into soybean oil, but the oil yield is not high, otherwise everyone will have enough oil to eat.

In addition, it can be eaten as food, for example, made into porridge.

Moreover, these beans are more likely to be used as a scapegoat, Guo Huaian asked himself privately.

"Should we buy some soybeans?"

"No, don't forget, we have planted some in our private plots and in every corner of our house. Even if it's not soybeans, don't we have mung beans and red beans?

After all these are mixed together, it is not a small amount. Anyway, we are not going to process the oil, so there is no need to buy too much. "

"That's right. I'll take some of the sweet potatoes home first. You stay here and watch them. I'll come back and take more."

"Okay, no one dares to touch our food while I'm here."

"Don't worry, even if someone wants to do that now, they don't have the time."

“Yes, every household has received so much, we must hurry to transport it back.

Even though they were all from the same brigade, if someone's food was lost, no one would admit that someone had touched someone else's food.

Don't forget, even if eating sweet potatoes makes you bloated and farts all the time, they are still a rare food. If they are lost, won't there be a big uproar?"

"Is it really possible?"

Not only would the adults keep an eye on their food wherever they stayed, but some children even dared not leave too far away. This was food, and if it was lost they would have to starve.

But even though there were so many sweet potatoes, they were not big.

The big sweet potatoes have now been delivered to the grain station and the brigade’s special cellar for storing seeds.

Only sweet potatoes like these that are smaller and a little damaged will be distributed to members.

The purpose is to get everyone to eat it as soon as possible, otherwise what if it goes bad after a long time?

At this time, we cooked the damaged sweet potatoes, put them on a cool mat, dried them, and saved them for the children as snacks.

This is because there are few children in the family. If there were two more children, I would not do this.

Even though there were many people in the family, each family received more than 2000 kilograms of sweet potatoes.

At this time, people basically cut the sweet potatoes into slices, dry them in good weather, and then grind them into sweet potato flour, which they can then use to steam steamed buns.

There are so many sweet potatoes that even if we eat them every day, we won’t be able to finish them until next spring.

Moreover, if sweet potatoes are stored for too long, they may not survive until next spring. Several children are asking this question.

"Mom, don't we just slice the slices and dry them in the sun?"

"Yes?

We saw many families in the team cut the sweet potatoes into slices and dried them there, should we dry some of them as well?"

"how?

Do you also want to eat steamed buns made of three-grain flour, or steamed buns made of sweet potato flour?"

"Anything is fine, as long as I can eat my fill!"

"That's right, as long as we can have enough to eat, we are not picky about other things. After all, many people in the team have difficulty getting enough to eat.

Compared to them, we are much happier. "

"This issue?"

Then I heard Guo Huaian also talking about this matter.

"Let's do as the three kids suggested and cut some of the sweet potatoes into slices and dry them in the sun!

I just made a rough estimate and our family can get at least 1000 kilograms of corn before the New Year.

Even if we take away the fur and mix it with sweet potatoes and other things, it will be enough to eat.”

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved. But there will be enough food for next year, but what about the year after?"

"Let's talk about it the year after next. At worst, when the grain is distributed before the New Year, our family can buy some grain and store it somewhere."

"That's fine. Otherwise, if you have a job but don't buy food, it will be hard to justify it in the team.

Besides, the children are gradually growing up, and their appetites have increased accordingly, so we can’t let them go hungry.”

"Who says it's not?"

"Mom and Dad, don't worry about us. Even if we go to the commune to study, we will try our best to cut more grass for the pigs."

“That’s right, even if we can’t do it, one person earns one work point a day?

That can ensure that three people can earn one work point a day. As long as we persist, even if it is very little, it can accumulate into a lot.

What's more, when summer vacation comes, we can earn one more work point!"

"That's right. This is not a problem for us at all."

"Oh well!

I cut half of the sweet potatoes into slices and dried them in the sun, and we will eat the remaining half this winter."

"it is good."

In fact, if you calculate it this way, the family has quite a lot of sweet potatoes. Excluding the 700 kilograms distributed by the brigade, the family has about 2000 kilograms of sweet potatoes from its own land.

If I don’t slice it and dry it in the sun, I’m really worried that it will go bad easily. If I don’t slice it, it seems like the cellar won’t have enough space for it.
