Chapter 93 Borrowing Food
Aunt Zhang: "During the autumn harvest, most of the laborers eat more, and the strong laborers eat more. The family has more than a dozen mouths. This meal needs to eat a lot of food. It doesn't matter who the family prepares more food. , the old educated youths can advance a little, and you new educated youths don’t seem to give advances at all, but if my aunt says that Han Zhiqing is a good person, if there is not enough food, tell my aunt, our family can make some for you like this.”

Han Li: "Then I'll thank Aunt Zhang first, and I'll talk to you when I don't have enough food."

"That's right, then I'm going to the granary."

"It's okay to go back now. Aunt Zhang and I will go and have a look."

By the time the granary arrived, many villagers had already arrived with bags.

It didn't take long for the three giants of Shanghe Village to come, and even the scorekeeper followed with a notebook.

When they saw that Han Li was there, they frowned, wondering if this guy would pay for the food in advance, should he give it himself?
If you give it, it's a bit of a bad rule, if you don't give it, it will be too ugly, Village Chief Zhao looked at Han Li and asked.

"Educated Youth Han, do you want to pay in advance for food?"

"I still have enough food to eat. I don't need to pay for food in advance for the time being. I don't have anything to do even when I go home. I just follow along and have a look."

Village Chief Zhao and the others nodded, just as they were about to say something.

I saw many educated youths rushing over with bags, and it seemed that they got the news that the villagers borrowed food today.

It would be easier to borrow food with the villagers, as if it would be too troublesome for them to borrow food alone.

Village chiefs, team leaders, accountants, scorekeepers, and custodians can’t borrow food.

Upon seeing this, Village Chief Zhao stood aside smoking his pipe and did not speak, and the team leader looked unhappy.

He lowered his head and was talking to Accountant Zhang and the custodian, but the scene was quite noisy, and no one could hear what they were saying.

Captain Liang: "The villagers lined up to borrow food one by one, and the qualified educated youths lined up behind the villagers."

At this time, a new educated youth was stunned. He might not have figured out that he was not qualified to borrow food this year, so he stood up and said.

"Captain, don't you look down on people? Why are we educated youths ranked behind the villagers? Several families came later than us."

Captain Liang: "Why? How much effort did the villagers put in this food? Don't you have any points for how much effort you put in? Instead of having opinions now, it's better to work hard next year. By the way, I remember you Those educated youths who came last, what are you doing here with a cloth bag?"

"Borrow the food, my food has bottomed out."

"Did you fall asleep when I was talking? Sun Yong, you, the educated youth captain, tell him the rules."

The villagers are all proud at the moment, but the educated youths are a bit ugly, especially the new educated youths.

At this time, Sun Yong stepped forward and grabbed the stunned head, and first talked to Captain Liang with a smile.

"The team leader is right. I'll tell him the rules of the team."

Sun Yong pulled the stunned-headed Qing aside to talk, and then he left here angrily.

But when he left, his face was full of hatred. Although he only had time to turn around, he was still seen by many people.

After watching for a while, Han Li discovered that the villagers could choose whatever they wanted for the grain they had paid in advance.

Old educated youths are now eligible to advance food, but the only grain they can advance is sorghum and buckwheat.

There were obviously corn balls in the granary, but accountant Zhang refused to replace them.

And this kind of sorghum, Han Li, has been complained by the villagers more than once, and that is the famous "Jinza No. [-]".

Jinza No. 71 was the sorghum that was uniformly requested to be planted here in [-]. At that time, two and a half catties of sorghum were needed to exchange one catty of seeds.

In such an expensive seed village, they are very attentive when serving them. Plowing, weeding, and fertilizing are all done first by Jinza No. [-].

But it's not right when it grows long, because Jinza No. [-] starts to produce ears when it is less than one meter long.

Just when everyone was a little confused, they discovered that the sorghum ears of Jinza No. [-] were particularly large.

Yuangu Longdong stands upright like an upside-down oil bottle. Everyone thinks that the yield of this sorghum ear will not be low.

The key point is that after it finished flowering, the land of Jinza No. [-] always smelled of distiller's grains, making the drunkards in the village gulp down.

Usually rushing to work in Jinza No. [-], everyone has been looking forward to the situation after the harvest of Jinza No. [-].

When it was time for the autumn harvest, everyone harvested Jinza No. [-].

The brigade carried out simple crushing and threshing and then distributed them to the villagers, but when this kind of sorghum was in everyone's hands, it didn't feel right.

Because the sorghum planted in previous years was rolled out on a roller for more than a dozen laps, but the shell of Jinza No. Broken.

Everyone had no choice at this time, so they took Jinza No. [-] to the commune to use an "electric grinder" to remove the shells.

Money was spent and effort wasted, but the shell of Jinza No. [-] just couldn't be cleaned up.

It doesn’t work to wash it with water at home, and it doesn’t work to boil it in a pot. Everyone can only eat it together with the black shell.

This Jinza No. [-] wasted a lot of firewood when cooking, and it would take more time to cook it.

The most irritating thing is that the rice made by "Jinza No. [-]" is unpalatable, and the porridge and water are not sticky without rice soup.

Dry rice and slag can't chew the taste of the rice. When eating, it's like cracking melon seeds. Everyone spits out the skin while eating.

After a meal, the table was covered with a layer of black sorghum husks.

There are also people who are meticulous in accounting and finally concluded that in previous years, a catty of sorghum could yield nine taels of rice, while Jinza No. [-] could only grind seven taels of rice.

In that year, the old and young men in the village scolded the street a lot. In short, there were all kinds of ugly words, which finally became a jingle.

"Jinzawu, Jinzawu, two catties are not enough, it is unpalatable and difficult to cook."

Since that year, no villagers have changed Jinza No. [-] in the granary.

Of course, this may also be a way for accountant Zhang to remove inventory, otherwise it would not be a problem to keep it in the granary.

However, if the old educated youth wanted to drink the porridge, they had to wait until after the autumn harvest, or else they would pay for it and buy it themselves.

This kind of food distribution is just something new to watch. Han Li went home when he saw half of it.

Light the lamp, burn the fire, eat, read, and continue to think about the treatment of the statue after going to the kang.

When Han Li's side was quiet, another moth appeared in the Educated Youth Court.

This time it was the last two batches of educated youths who came here because they didn't have enough food.

The brigade still doesn't allow them to advance food, it's okay for those who have money, but the key is that most people don't have money.

They avoid old educated youths, Zhang San who likes to make small reports, and Qi Zhaodi who has been hanging around with He Mi and the others.

The rest gathered for a small meeting in the backyard, and almost all the educated youths from the two batches were present.
