Poor villages in the rebirth era, take the whole village to eat meat

Chapter 172
If it was in good health a few years ago, even if Su Daya heard such a shocking idea, he would not take it to heart, and would even strictly ask Su Han not to say it again.

But in the past few years, after enjoying the bonus of sweet potatoes, it has been rated as an advanced village by the brigade every year, and it is always much easier to apply for fertilizer and seeds every year than other villages.

On the wall of the office, there are many awards for advanced villages. Every time Su Daya goes to the brigade for a meeting, he will be praised by the secretary.

That sense of honor greatly satisfied Su Daya's vanity, and now the sweet potato production could not reach the previous output, and the food handed in was less, the brigade had already started to ask Su Daya why.

Su Daya could only bring up the issue of production reduction, and the secretary just sighed and didn't say anything.

As farmers, watching the sky and eating is already something in their bones.

"Is this the only thing that can extract brown sugar? Are you lying to me?" Danu looked at Su Han and brought over the black cabbage head, a little bit disbelieving.

It wasn't just him, Su Daya didn't quite believe it either.

Su Han looked at them and knew that his words could not be trusted at all.

"There is a pot here, and I will make it for you on the spot, but I need to find a gauze, otherwise the beet juice will not be easy to filter." Su Han looked at the simple kitchen next door, and said lightly.

The expression on his face was very confident, which made both of them a little excited.

Daniu moved quickly, and quickly brought the filtered gauze from home.

In the yard of the office, there is a small mill that has not been used for a long time. After Su Han cleaned it, he cut the beet into small pieces and ground it with the mill.

Harvested quickly and arrived in a big pot of beet juice.

The bright red looks very creepy, if you don't know that this thing is made of beetroot, it really looks like human blood from a distance.

Su Han directly boiled the beet juice in a large iron pot. Time passed bit by bit, and he watched the beet juice that was like water gradually become viscous.

In the later stage, Su Han kept stirring on the side, Su Daya and Daniu didn't dare to leave at all, and slowly watched the strange beet, which only turned into the familiar brown sugar.

When it hangs on the spatula, the dripping arc forms a triangle, which means that the pot of syrup is almost ready.

After simmering for a while, the brown sugar in the pot became more viscous. Su Han found a large bowl, brushed the sides with oil, and poured the brown sugar into it.

Because it needs to be solidified quickly, Su Han directly put the bowl of rice into the well, and after an unknown amount of time, when he picked up the bowl, he saw the solidified brown sugar.

Turning the bowl upside down, the brown sugar fell off easily and was displayed in front of the two of them.

Su Daya knocked out a piece and put it in his mouth.

The sweet taste is exactly the same as the brown sugar they usually eat, but there is obviously a hint of bitterness.

As far as this quality is concerned, it is not particularly good, but for everyone in the countryside, this kind of bottle is not particularly good sugar, as long as the price is suitable enough, they will buy a lot.

For example, the daughter-in-law at home will drink this brown sugar when she is in confinement, or when she is nourishing her body.

These years have experienced famines, except that the luck in their village is relatively good, and there is enough food.

Most of the other villages do not have enough to eat. Everyone has obvious hypoglycemia and malnutrition. You can often hear people working in the fields, and they faint when they are doing it.

At this moment, he would make a bowl of sugar water and pour it into him, and he would wake up and continue working after a while.

Therefore, sugar is a good thing in the eyes of many people, and it is even advertised that sugar is a strategic resource!
"It's really candy, sweet, salsa, and it's exactly the same as what my mother bought when my daughter-in-law was in confinement."

Just a few heads of beets can make such a large bowl of sugar. It seems that the sugar is more than a catty, and it costs seven or eight yuan at the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Brown sugar, instead of growing sweet potatoes and planting brown sugar, maybe it's really possible." Su Daya muttered to himself.

After Su Han went back, Su Daya dragged his old body and asked Daniel to take him to the collective brigade.

The secretary of the collective brigade is no longer Secretary Wang, but a new secretary Li, who is also a very talkative person, but he is a bit affable when he usually does things.

Su Daya didn't like him that much, but today's matter still needs to be discussed with Secretary Li.

When we arrived at the collective brigade, Secretary Li happened to have finished his meal and felt a little strange seeing two people riding bicycles.

"Captain Su, what's going on with you? Isn't the food delivered? What are you doing here today?"

Su Daya: "Secretary Li is also like this. I have something I want to tell you. It's a very important thing. Can I find a quiet place to talk about it?"

Secretary Li, looking at the serious faces of the two people, thought that something serious had happened, and his face was not very good-looking.

He himself was downgraded, and he only wanted to avoid major incidents during his tenure. Many times, even if he knew that he was doing something wrong, he would choose to make peace more often.

His way of handling it has achieved no merits and demerits during his tenure, and he can't make any great achievements, but there is nothing wrong with it.

When the time comes, it will naturally be transferred.

When Su Daya went to the office and talked about the sugar production, Secretary Li thought more about it.

Even if the sugar is made, there is still someone to sell it to. Now we can’t do business, we can only ask the state to help sell it. This kind of thing is time-consuming and laborious, and it may not be beneficial.

Secretary Li thought for a long time, but still did not agree.

"Captain Su, I know that your village is good, but for such a big matter, you should think about it more, and don't make mistakes because of impulse. It's good to grow sweet potatoes, and sweet potatoes are also good food. Don't worry about it. So ambitious."

Su Daya looked at Secretary Li and only heard the high-sounding reasons.

He didn't say anything, just nodded and let Daniel take him away.

At the door, Daniel couldn't hold back at first.

"Uncle, what does Secretary Li mean? After we make money from sugar production, the lives of the people in the village will be better. This is not very good, why should we refuse?"

Su Daya looked at the angry Daniel and sighed.

"You're still too young, Secretary Li doesn't care about us at first sight."

Daniel scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

"Secretary Li, isn't he our secretary? How could he say that he doesn't care about us?"

"The former Secretary Wang was really doing our best for us. He was not afraid of troubles or difficulties. He just wanted to let us live a good life. This new Secretary Li, you can see why he has done these years. gone?"
