60s white-eyed wolf

Chapter 38 Selfless

The Qiu family is worthy of being the Qiu Bancheng back then. Not only did they build a luxurious brick and tile courtyard in Qianxi Village, they also dug several cellars.However, when the local tyrants were hunted down and the fields were divided, the large cellars built under the other courtyards with blue bricks and strips of stone were all exposed, and the inside was also a mess with nothing.When the Qiu family fled, they took away all the gold, silver and other things that they could easily bring, leaving only some bulky belongings.

The cellar that Grandma mentioned that no outsider has opened refers to the secret cellar that was not opened by the working people and farmers at that time.

The one she knew was located at the junction of Qianxi Village and Huanglin Village. Although the opening was on the other side of Qianxi Village, most of the caves inside were dug in Huanglin Village.

Both Huanglin Village and Qianxi Village became production teams under the Linkan Brigade when the People’s Commune was established. For hundreds of years, people from these two neighboring villages have been married and have been close. Let the Cao family members "discover" the grain stored in the cellar, how can they share half of it without meeting?

In this way, Lao Cao's family has completely separated from the rich and noble, not only helping the neighbors, but no one else knows the cause and effect, it is really appropriate.

Cao Fugui patted his thigh and praised Grandma's wisdom, like Zhuge Zhiliang, excitedly pestered Grandma to ask the specific location of the cellar.

Grandma patted her eldest grandson on the head, and said in a low voice, "Tell Second Uncle Nong to go quietly together. It's dark. No one has entered this cellar for many years. I don't feel at ease with your hands and feet."

The second child is not smart and silent, but fortunately there is one thing - be obedient!Listen to my wife.Although asking him to do things is not shrewd, it is down-to-earth, which makes her feel at ease.With the second child helping Fugui to explore the cellar of Qiu's house, she wouldn't let her heart hang in the air all day long, unable to get up or down.

Brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers in battle.

Although the second child and Fugui are not biological father and son, they are also uncles and nephews whose blood is thicker than water. How can they rely on themselves to do big things, and how many nails can be driven by even the best iron?Everyone in the family prospers and loses, and the second child's mouth can't be more reliable, and of course important matters must be dealt with together.

Although the Qiu family's cellar is not located under the main house of the Qiu family's other courtyard - the current brigade headquarters, it is not located in a very secluded place. There are several families nearby, so it is not easy to explore in the daytime. Grandma simply decided to ask the uncle and nephew to check on it tomorrow night, so she could take advantage of the daytime to explain it to her second child.

Fugui, who was so excited, was sent by grandma to have an early rest, so how could he sleep?Thinking about the prestige of the name "Qiu Bancheng" back then, the cellar had not been inspected by the discerning eyes of the crowd, and the whole family fled in panic. Maybe they still remembered to take the things in the cellar away?Maybe there is still gold, silver and jewelry left in it?Get rich, get rich!

The more he thought about it, the more excited his brother Fugui's dreams became, the more he realized his lucidity, so he went to the refinery to see the recipe for using chestnuts as military rations. Alas, his brother Fugui has become rich, so he can't forget the folks!Wealth, don't take it out to harm everyone, food is enough!

Looking through the prescriptions on the shelf, I found the recipe of the old ancestor who used chestnuts as the main ingredient to make military rations.This thing is actually referring to the "compressed biscuit" method, mixing chestnut noodles and other starchy, nutritious and non-perishable materials together, using the powerful dehydration and pressing ability of the "treasure furnace" to compress the grain powder into bricks shape.

According to the description of the ancestors, this thing looks ugly, as hard as bricks and stones, and has good nutrition. It tastes good when boiled in hot water.But it has a very long shelf life, and it has many functions in normal times. It can be stacked up as a stool in leisure time, and can be picked up in wartime to shoot people.

Cao Fugui studied this recipe and nodded.

Good stuff!What to eat, if it can fill your stomach, it is good, what kind of delicious food do you want!He added some kudzu root powder, plant ash and so on to the formula of this thing, "made old" the finished product, and then put it in the cellar of the Qiu family, it was a match made in heaven!Hahaha!

In the chestnut grove, because Xiao Qiao was by his side, there were not many chestnuts when he was able to use his hands and feet to sweep into the refining hut. It was enough for experimenting and refining some imitation grain bricks.

The treasure furnace flashed light, and spit out six brown-gray rectangular grain bricks like city wall bricks.

Probably because there is really no skill and artistry in the processing of this thing, and the loss of jade aura is very little, which is almost equivalent to the loss of rough processing of raw materials such as soybean oil extraction and wheat flour grinding.

After using up the little chestnuts, Cao Fugui looked at the green wheat field outside, and simply mixed the remaining wheat flour, soybeans, kudzu root, etc., and all edible dry fruits and fruits, and made it according to the "military ration" recipe The method was slightly adjusted, and a trial production was made [Coarse military rations - the dog hates it when it smells it, but it is really full]

This thing is hard and dusty, and it is not much different from city bricks. No matter how ugly it is-but it is full!

What is the taste of famine years!

Brother Fugui chose to use this [coarse military ration] formula with dignity, and turned most of his rations into grain bricks. The total data given by Baolu was 6200 kilograms.Cao Fugui counted with his fingers, hey boy, it weighs more than [-] catties, even if he wants to share the profit with the people of Qianxi Village, it is enough for the [-] or so people in the team to last until Xia Haru.

Looking back at the ring pendant that grandma gave him, it originally had 26 squares. After making a pile of food in the past year, and adding two crops of wheat sowing, it only took 5 squares. No matter how small the consumption of each piece is, the "spiritual energy" of the ring wear has been consumed until there are only 18 grids left.

Cao Fugui held the ring pendant and wanted to cry, but he confiscated it at once, it was too harsh!We can only pin our hopes on tomorrow, and hope that the cellar of the Qiu family will be full of gold and jade!

At night, Fugui had a good dream, the dream was full of gold and silver, full of treasures, he was so happy!Grab a piece of gold pancake and bite... Ow!

Shengsheng woke himself up by biting himself, what kind of golden pancake was in his mouth, it was his thumb!

Looking out of the window, the sky is getting late, the sky is blue, and the whole family is already busy in the courtyard.Xiao Qiao raised her head as if feeling something, and looked at Brother Fugui who was standing by the window, yawning profusely, with the corners of her mouth slightly pursed.

Thinking about all the things on his body, Cao Fugui yawned, put on his padded jacket, and went downstairs to wash up.

Yingzi hurriedly brought a bowl of corn porridge, and two delicious, one-inch-thick wheat cakes filled with shredded mussel meat and chives. burp.

"Huh? Where's the second aunt?" Cao Fugui rubbed his stomach, but he was a little surprised that he didn't see the second aunt.

"Let's go to my mother's house in the second day of junior high school!" Bao Feng licked his mouth and replied casually. Although he was full, but seeing his elder brother eating deliciously, he always felt that he could eat more.

He didn't like his grandmother's house, and his mother only took him there once, and he came home crying that time, and never went there again.

Cao Fugui rubbed his head and suddenly realized, Damn, he is so busy with big and small affairs, he has forgotten the days, alas!

Uncle Cao had already been told countless times by his mother, with a sullen face and a nervous expression, waiting for the eldest nephew to finish eating, and the whole family went to the third uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings, and then talk about the chestnut forest.Thinking of going to explore the cellar of Qiu's family with his nephew at night, even though the old lady made it clear that the place is not a deep mountain and cold valley, and there are no wolves, tigers and leopards, it is just a broken place that has been abandoned for many years, he still feels uncomfortable. Cold sweat came out quietly.

Seeing his nephew's composure, talking and laughing happily, he really admires him, regardless of his rich and young age, he is much better than himself, a farmer who can only dig the ground and has no experience at all.

Greetings to the third grandpa’s family, and drinking a glass of sugar water, grandma started talking, and happily reported to the third grandpa the “treasure land” he found in the mountains after going through all kinds of hardships and overcoming all kinds of hardships for everyone’s rations. ”—a large grove of late-ripening chestnuts.

"Really?!" Secretary Cao was surprised and delighted, his thick black eyebrows almost flew up.

There are three production teams under the jurisdiction of the Linkan Brigade, all of which are former natural villages, with a total of more than 200 households and more than 1000 people.

Kanpo Village and Qianxi Village are at the foot of the mountain, with a lot of paddy fields and flat land, and the grain storage is better; Huanglin Village is halfway up the mountain, so its output is small.When the times are bad, there will be people who can't stand it immediately.

There are large chestnut trees to be found in the mountains. Even if there are not as many edible fruits as Fugui said, the team members in their own village can survive this winter. When the national relief food arrives, the difficulties will be over.

"Why did I lie to you? I lied to you, this is me!" Cao Fugui raised his little finger angrily, swearing to God.

"Okay! Wealthy! You have made a great contribution."

Secretary Cao was overjoyed, and his family members looked at each other in dismay. Although they were happy, they still couldn't believe Brother Fugui, who loves to talk and boast. But thinking about his young age, last time he hit a big wild boar by luck. , who knows if he stepped on some shit luck again this time?

"We need to inform He Sheng about this matter, and let him lead the team up the mountain!" The third grandpa waved his hand and immediately made a decision.

Although he is the secretary of the brigade, it is not easy to surpass the production team leader Shi Hesheng to directly assign the team members.Anyway, the credit belongs to his old Cao family, and he is the secretary of the brigade. Shihe is a righteous and sensible man, so he will not lose to the Cao family.

Cao Weiyan turned his head to look at Cao Fugui, his eyes were bright, and he said in a deep voice: "Fugui, if you can really get these many chestnuts and solve the big problem of the people's belly, I will give you a credit."

He kept some things in his heart, but it was hard for him to reveal them. They were all from the Cao family, and they were too protective. If there were any miscellaneous things that he couldn't see and reported to the commune, he, a brigade cadre, would not be easy to do.Now that he has meritorious deeds, he will be justified in helping Fugui, a great hero, in the future, and others can't tell what is right and wrong.

Production team leader Shi Hesheng has always been vigorous and decisive. When he heard that Cao Fugui had found such a good piece of land, he jumped up three feet in joy and roared angrily. , followed Brother Fugui up the mountain mightily.

With so many people entering the mountain together, not to mention the beasts not daring to face each other, if they dared to come, it would be just an extra meal for the team members!

We went up the mountain before noon, and at dusk, the long team of dozens of people finally went down the mountain.

Brother Fugui took the lead and walked down the mountain with rhubarb showing off his power. He only carried a small basket on his back, meaning to decorate with chestnuts. He gave up the whole forest to add food to everyone, and still fight for this little bit?

Second Uncle Cao protected him and walked beside him, like a loyal butler of a rich young master.

"I'm coming!"

"Really! Oh, there are so many chestnuts, and they are not broken!"

"Wealthy, good skills, good luck, grandeur! On the road!"

"Captain Shi, how do you divide the chestnuts? There is a pause in Ala's room, so divide them more!"

"Fugui, you are amazing!"

Staying at the foot of the mountain, the sallow and thin team members were excited and surrounded them in a panic, seeing the loads of chestnuts full of joy, and the compliments were baskets after baskets, desperately planting on Fugui's head , while swallowing his saliva, happily waited for the captain to speak to share the chestnuts.

Cao Fugui narrowed his eyes with a smile, and thanked him again and again: "Hahaha! My neighbors, don't praise too much, I'm going to float!"

His smug look is naturally not pleasing to the eye, but the chestnuts piled up in front of him are all the great credit for discovering them by Cao Fugui alone. It's not pleasing to the eye, and there's nothing wrong with it.

With the presence of Secretary Cao, and Captain Shi, the big rock, the various families argued for a while, but in the end it was still calculated according to the year-end work points.A special part is set aside for the relief of those who really have little labor and are struggling to run out of food.

Originally, Brother Fugui, the discoverer, was going to be rewarded with fifty catties of chestnuts. Cao Fugui waved his hand, full of righteousness, and said that I reported to the team not to ask for more food.

Clap clap!The people in the team were moved and applauded continuously.It's really unexpected that Cao Fugui, who wanders around like a loafer on weekdays, has such a selfless heart like gold, it's really a mistake!
