Siheyuan: I am the God of Cooking, and all the birds are crying with envy!

"It's getting hotter and hotter! Even if I just sit here and do nothing, I'm sweating like crazy!"

A middle-aged woman wearing a short-sleeved shirt with a plum blossom pattern was mumbling something and waving a palm-leaf fan in her hand.

The middle-aged woman was seen vigorously waving a fan in an attempt to bring herself a little coolness, while she raised her hand from time to time to wipe the sweat beads sliding down her cheeks.

The sweat seemed to have just been wiped off and appeared again in the blink of an eye.

"That's right! Why do I feel that the weather this year is much hotter than any other year?" The woman with shoulder-length pigtails next to her echoed.

She also waved the palm-leaf fan in her hand vigorously, but it seemed that no matter how hard she tried, the rolling heat wave could not be dispelled.

At this moment, a crowd of people had gathered under the old willow tree in the village.

They naturally divided into two camps, men and women on each side.

The men's side seemed particularly lively, and they were all discussing something with great interest and excitement. I wonder what topic made them so excited.

The women were chattering even more, it was quite lively.

Their topics are varied, ranging from the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, to the trivial household matters of food, clothing, housing and transportation, to the growth and education of their children and the various behaviors of their husbands, etc.

These are all the focus issues that women love to discuss on a daily basis.

But then again, the main reason why everyone gathered under this old willow tree today was because of the big event that He Yuzhu sent people to inform them of - the village had a bumper harvest of grain!

In order to commend the team members for their hard work, it was decided to distribute a batch of food as a reward.

Upon hearing the news, everyone came early and waited under the willow tree.

This is great news. Even if I have no housework to do, I will drop it and come to hear the good news.

You know, this is not just an ordinary food conference!

It is also an exciting awards ceremony!

During the spring planting season just passed, each of them put in hard work and unremitting efforts, and finally ushered in an ecstatic bumper harvest.

In this harvest feast, the role they play is crucial and effortless!

Because of this, everyone had full expectations and longings in their hearts, eagerly looking forward to the production team distributing a share of the generous food reward to their own families.

Not only that, everyone is also curious and eager to find out how this conference will unfold.

So, even if you need to arrive here two or three hours in advance.

Even though the scorching sun above our heads was mercilessly burning the earth, as if it was going to evaporate all the moisture in people's bodies.

Even though they were sweating and panting, they were still excited and enjoyed it.

At this moment, someone in the crowd looked at the position of the sun and couldn't help muttering, "Oh my, look at what time it is now. There are still two hours before the seven o'clock start. Aren't we here a little too early?"

"What do you mean early? How is it early?" a woman retorted.

"How much food can we get at this food conference?"

"Who knows? All this food belongs to the brigade. The brigade handed it over to the higher authorities, and then deducted our food from the past few months. I don't know how much food our brigade will have left."

"Yes, yes! We have been farming for so long, but we have never had such a big harvest as this year."

"The most important thing is that our team actually managed to grow spring wheat."

"Isn't it? We have only grown winter wheat so far, but I didn't expect He Yuzhu to actually lead us to grow spring wheat."

"Not only did we grow spring wheat, but we actually grew 1000 kilograms of wheat per acre."

"Hahaha, 1000 kilograms? Who would have dared to think of this before? Our best winter wheat yield is only 1000 to kilograms. This spring wheat has reached kilograms in one go. This is unheard of and unseen."

"This is a miracle!"

"This is not a miracle, this is a miracle among miracles."

Everyone was talking and sharing their joy.

And the incredible miracle.

Yes, in their view, it was a miracle that they managed to grow spring wheat.

Little did people know that if it weren’t for He Yuzhu’s spiritual spring liquid, this miracle...it wouldn’t even be called a miracle at all.

For them, food is life.

As long as they have food, they have hope of survival.

And there is the motivation to keep moving forward.

Therefore, everyone's expression was throbbing and excited.

The wheat is not only high-yielding, but also full-bodied.

The winter wheat they had planted before, although the largest ones weighed four or five hundred kilograms, was very shriveled.

It looks skinny and malnourished.

In contrast, spring wheat is plump and looks festive.

Just looking at it makes me want to eat.

It's really rare.

The men were also discussing enthusiastically at this time, "I don't know how Captain He will deal with this batch of wheat."

"What can we do? Report it, of course!"

Because the land is publicly owned, the harvested grain does not belong to individuals, nor to the brigade.

The grain that has been handed in must be deducted first, and then a portion must be retained in the brigade according to the quota.

The team members' food is obtained from this quota.

So, they felt that there was not much food left in the team.

At most, there was a few months' worth of food for the team members.

We should be thankful that we have distributed all the food for these few months.

Little did they know that He Yuzhu would give them a big surprise that would make them cry with joy.

"You dare to imagine that we have grown spring wheat."

"Who says it's not true? When we were planting spring wheat before, those teams made a lot of sarcastic remarks."

"Not only were they sarcastic, they also said we were dreaming."

"Humph! Not only did we grow spring wheat, we also raised the yield by 2 to 3 levels."

"The more happily they laughed before, the more painful their faces are now."

"When we bring the food home, even if they are eagerly waiting, they won't get any."

The men also started gossiping at this time.

Men gossip just as much as women.

Even more enthusiastic than women.

But today, Mrs. Xu, Old Man Xu and others were hiding in a corner where no one noticed them, reducing their presence.

After all, Xu Qiang and Xu Damao have caused a lot of trouble.

Although He Yuzhu managed to avoid danger in the end, but...

However, at this time someone started talking about corn and potatoes.

"Based on the year and the weather, the yield should have been reduced this year, but we not only planted spring wheat, but also made it produce in large quantities. Most importantly, the corn and potatoes were 2 to 3 times more than in previous years."

"Yes! I noticed it too. I was just about to say that. Our team actually had a good harvest this year?" They found it incredible.

"Actually...it's just that our team had a good harvest." An uncertain murmur came in.

"Yes, I also discovered that we harvested more than 1200 kilograms of corn and more than 1200 kilograms of potatoes from our one-acre field. However, the Yunshan Brigade next door only harvested to kilograms of corn and potatoes from one acre of field. The difference is exactly twice as much. I even wonder if God is blessing our brigade and giving it special care." This person even said some supernatural things.

"Shh! Are you trying to kill yourself? How dare you spread feudal superstition at such a sensitive time?" One of them looked around and warned in a low voice.

"Isn't this... just Goldman's quick words?" The man curled his lips, thinking that he was making a big deal out of nothing.

Everyone's attention is focused on food, so why would they pay attention to these trivial matters?

"Speaking of favor, I also feel that one acre of land actually yielded more than 1200 kilograms of corn and potatoes. This... I can't believe it!"

Who can believe this?

This is truly unprecedented and unheard of.

They also didn't understand why other brigades not only did not have a good harvest, but because of the drought this year, the production was even lower than in previous years.

However, their team had a good harvest.

Harvest!

This...if this isn't God's blessing, then what is it?

Although they cannot say it out loud, everyone thinks it is God's favor to them.

In other words, they are being chased by God and given food.

As everyone was discussing enthusiastically, He Yuzhu finally arrived.

"Stop talking and listen to what our captain says?" Someone with sharp eyes immediately spoke up to stop the noise.

In fact, there was no need for him to remind or stop them, as everyone had already kept quiet.

They all stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks to look at He Yuzhu.

They pricked up their ears, afraid of missing what He Yuzhu said.

They couldn't wait to know what He Yuzhu would say next?

Therefore, the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Then, He Yuzhu said some polite words and went straight to the point.

"Today I have three things to announce. First, the bumper harvest of grain is inseparable from everyone's efforts."

"So, I asked the higher-ups to distribute food to everyone for the next few months."

"Oh oh oh oh oh!" The unanimous cheers expressed everyone's joy.

Because it takes nearly four months from clearing the land to the maturity of spring wheat, if four months' worth of food is distributed, then as long as you live frugally, you can eat until the beginning of next spring.

Families with more people and more people working will receive more food.

"In order to reward everyone and encourage them to continue to work hard, the county brigade decided to increase the amount of food for each person by five kilograms."

"Men and women are five pounds each, while the elderly and children are three pounds each."

"Hahahaha! That's great, that's great. We have five people working in our family, and they're all strong laborers, so we can get 5 kilograms of food for free."

25 kilograms of food, if you use it economically, can be enough food for a family for a month.

"Afterwards, you will go to the brigade to register and receive the corresponding food."

"it is good!"

The sound of the word "good" was so loud that it felt like the earth was shaking, which shows how happy everyone was.

"The second thing is that the spring wheat has just been harvested, and we will start planting winter wheat tomorrow."

"As for the winter wheat seeds, you don't have to worry. They have already been distributed. As long as you work hard for me, I will still strive for extra rewards for you when the wheat harvest comes."

"Okay! Let's do it."

If the winter wheat harvest is good again, they will be able to receive several months' worth of food, so they will have a supply.

With stock, you won’t be afraid of going hungry anymore?

You won’t starve to death if you don’t go hungry.

As long as there is food, what does it matter if it is a bit tiring and hard?

"I hope that our Red Flag Brigade can work together to make the winter wheat harvest better than the spring wheat."

"It also allows everyone to have enough to eat and no longer have to worry about food."

“Will you go all out for the upcoming winter wheat crop?”

“We must go all out!” The kindergarten teacher’s earth-shaking shout seemed to poke a hole in the sky.

He Yuzhu nodded in satisfaction, then announced the third thing with a smile, "Third, after the winter wheat and winter corn are planted, I plan to open a grain processing plant in our village?"

He Yuzhu's third piece of news exploded like thunder in the crowd.

The explosion caused everyone present to look at He Yuzhu in shock.

Every pair of eyes is in disbelief?

Some people even felt like they were dreaming and pinched themselves foolishly.

But after the shock, there were overwhelming surprises.

Build a factory?

Building a factory in a village is probably the first of its kind in the country.

If the brigade can build the factory, then after the busy farming season, they can go to the factory and earn extra income in their spare time.

Just like the workers in the city.

In this way, the food problem is solved, and one can also go to the factory to make money and earn receipts.

By the way, farmers didn’t have coupons in that era.

When farmers wanted to buy meat or other things that required tickets, they had to exchange grain with the team first.

In this way, the ticket can be matched.

With the ticket you can buy a lot of things.

In this era, you can’t buy anything without a ticket.

But it is different in factories. Workers, teachers and others who work in the units are all issued tickets.

It is distributed free of charge and does not require purchase or exchange for food.

For farmers, what they envy most is people who have jobs.

I especially envy the workers.

In the eyes of farmers, being a worker is the most respectable and honorable job.

Now, is He Yuzhu going to build a factory right at his doorstep?

It is not just a small number of people who have this idea, but a large number of people. They don't believe that someone can build a factory right at his doorstep on his own.

How can this not make people happy? .

"What? A grain processing plant?"

"Is our brigade really going to build a factory?"

"If I really get into the factory, then I can work there and become a worker comrade that other brigades envy."

"Yes, comrade workers! We are all comrade workers." He Yuzhu nodded in agreement.

Some people were so happy that they almost fainted after hearing this hellish news.

“So, everyone should work harder to finish planting winter wheat. We will build the factory when we plant spring wheat.”

"In addition to the grain processing plant, I also plan to build a cotton spinning plant, a footwear and socks factory, and a glove factory."

"Hiss!" As He Yuzhu built the factories one by one, the sound of gasps never stopped.

"Can we enter so many factories at once? Do the higher-ups allow it?"

There were still some sober people, and these two questions immediately cooled everyone's dizziness.

It was this reminder that woke everyone up from their dream.

Yes! How can it be so easy to build a factory?

All of this has indicators and requires proof and documentation.

How come in He Yuzhu's mouth, building a factory is as quick as playing house and sounds like a joke?

He Yuzhu understood their expressions, but he was not in a hurry. "So, it depends on everyone's sincerity and determination."

"You don't need to worry. There's no need to worry. Since I dare to tell you all this, it means I already have a plan in mind."

"The most urgent task now is to plant winter wheat and winter corn. During this time, maybe the factory will be built and everyone can go to work in the factory."
