Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 1679

Yun Suji said: "Have you implemented the food distribution system? Let's distribute the food. Remember, you have to send it to the villagers' homes, not to the cadres' homes. By the way, you are all Shandong people here, so just follow the Shandong people's habits, no need to make special arrangements." Make rice."

The village chief agreed, but worried about others, he arranged for it himself, and one of the chief's soldiers followed him closely: this was to ensure the chief's food safety.

While Yun Suji was waiting to meet the leaders of each group A.The village chief went door to door and arranged:
"From Zhao Xinjia's family, let's serve food today, your family will kill the chicken, hurry up."

"What? Where are you going to send it off? You mother-in-law, send it to the first family."

"From Liu Chuan's family, today's food delivery, your family cooks fish, don't think I don't know that you are fishing in the river, your third boy just went there with a fish basket in his bare buttocks. Take the fish that is alive, or Give your skin carefully. Make it ready and send it to the first one."

"Caipi, go to your uncle's, gather up all the porcelain from several of their households, and send it to the first one, for official reception."

Then he explained to the soldiers who followed him: The first family is a family that distributes meals in this village.Don't worry about other people's family.

Unexpectedly, the soldier said: "The chief's safety is the first priority. You can't send food casually, and don't use the tableware here. It must be done in one family."

"Hey, there's no time for this."

"Just do it. I saw the one in front of me. There are some dried fish hanging in front of the door. That's the one. I just saw it, and it was cleaned up. As for the ingredients, you can't use them casually. Make it easier. I want the whole process supervision."

The village head looked at the family he was pointing at: "It's broken."

The soldier had already walked in on his own.The village head had no choice but to follow in: "Kong Xiaode, today your family sent out meals." He said and gave the head of the household a hard look.

The head of the household is also from Shandong, and there are only two of him and his mother-in-law and aunt in the family.The Kong family has never practiced this kind of system. First, they don’t understand this kind of food management, they just cook for them, and those who have to get paid after eating, think it’s the same as sending money; Those who come to the Yamen must eat well.Since he thought so, he made the matter worse. When he saw the soldier entering the house, he looked around and didn't say anything. He opened the grain cabinet and rice tank to check carefully, and became even more flustered.

Because of the lack of labor, the family does not have much food, and is not used to eating brown rice, so the daily meal is multi-grain pancakes with some green onion sauce. If you want to change it, it is multi-grain steamed bread. He couldn't get it out, making pancakes would be a good meal, but he didn't have white flour, so he had to borrow some whole wheat flour from a neighbor's house and ask his wife to mix the flour.I took out a few eggs from my own chicken coop and saw that there was not a drop of oil in the house, so I had to go to the neighbor's house to borrow some sesame oil.

Yun Suji took the guards to Kong's house for dinner, and saw a dustpan pancake neatly placed on the square table in the main room, and brown rice porridge in a rough-glazed earthen pot.In the center is a plate of scrambled eggs with dried shrimps.Four plates were placed around: shredded mustard greens, mixed cucumbers, pickled chives and fermented bean curd.

You can tell at a glance that you are treating yourself as a guest. Flour is a rare commodity in Lingao.It was probably taken care of by the village head when he sent out meals.He washed his hands and sat down, the householder Kong Xiaode poured out a bowl of muddy wine, held it to Yun Suji respectfully and said:

"Let's invite the chief to eat. You can't eat anything good in our poor house, so have a drink of sugar cane bar!"

The more polite he was, the more uncomfortable Yun Suji felt. He picked it up and said, "I'll scoop it up myself! Oh, my fellow! We can just eat one pot of rice, why do we need to cook it?"

"To tell you the truth, chief, there was no meal prepared. The rice was harvested and the winter was over, so we didn't eat at noon." Kong Xiaode said.

The wife of the Kong family continued: "Chief! Nothing, just a few plates of cold dishes! Not even a meat dish! If I were in my hometown, I wouldn't be able to make this meal even during the Chinese New Year! I came to Hainan Island the year before last, so I can get all these!"

Yun Suji nodded, feeling that the family was very educated and reasonable, so he sat down and ate and drank slowly with the four guards.The Confucian family stood by and waited on them.Yun Suji couldn't see it, and insisted that they sit down. The husband and wife couldn't resist, so they dragged a bamboo stool to sit beside them.

While eating, Yun Suji asked, "Do you still eat two meals a day?"

"It's not that I still eat two meals, but I eat three meals during the busy farming season. It's strenuous, and I can't bear it if I don't eat too much." Kong Xiaode took out the dry tobacco and put it away again.

"It doesn't matter, you just need to smoke, I also like to smoke a few mouthfuls."

Kong Xiaode filled the tobacco leaves and bent over: "You have to take care of me." He picked up a match and rubbed it on the sole of his shoe, and lit the tobacco pot.

Yun Suji saw that his expression was not so nervous, and asked, "Everyone in the village eats two meals?"

Kong Xiaode said: "Eat twice!"

Yun Suji said: "It seems that life is going well."

Kong Xiaode didn't know what he meant, so he took a puff of cigarette first, and then slowly said: "Nowadays, during the busy farming season, you can eat three meals, there are rare and dry ones, and white rice. In the past, I really dare not even dream about it! In the year, we can’t even eat decent food. During the spring famine, even small grain households have to eat corn buns.” Speaking of the past, a bitter expression appeared on his face.

Yun Suji stood up suddenly, walked to the stove, and took off a bamboo hat. Sure enough, there was a pancake village underneath.Although he is not from Shandong, he is very familiar with the customs of Shandong people: most of them spread out many pancakes at one time and eat them slowly in the pancake village.

The pancakes are [-]% full, and it seems that there is plenty of food.

Kong Xiaode panicked and got up quickly: "Chief, Chief..."

Yun Suji ignored it, picked up a pancake and returned to the table, folded off a piece, picked up some shredded shepherd's purse, and ate it with big mouthfuls.

The pancakes are sour and rough, indicating that the ratio of sweet potato flour inside is quite high.He chewed for a long time before swallowing it, and took another mouthful of porridge.

"This is the crude food that the villagers eat," Kong Xiaode said quickly, "Don't cut your old teeth! If it's not enough, just go for pancakes."

"It's okay, if you can eat it, I can't eat it?" Yun Suji said with a smile, "It's just a matter of changing the taste and trying something new."

Kong Xiaode didn't know where the chief came from, what's so delicious about this multigrain pancake?He thought of the village head glaring at him, so he didn't dare to say anything, he just kept smiling apologetically.

Just as they were talking, a little girl came to the door of the house, only about five or six years old, with two braids in her hair, and wearing a coarse coat. Watching them eat pancakes, she put a finger into her mouth, drooling, With a greedy face.

Yun Suji looked interesting and greeted her: "Come in."

After greeting several times, the girl dared not come in, Kong Xiaode said: "Hei Ni, come in, the chief is calling you."

Hei Ni probably knew the Kong family quite well, so she came in after hearing what he said.Yun Suji saw that although she had dark spots, she was upright, chubby and cute, so she couldn't help thinking of her own daughter, so she took a pancake from the table and gave him, saying, "Hei Ni, eat."

The girl didn't dare to take it, Kong Xiaode said again: "The chief gave it to you, you just take it and eat it."

After he said that, Hei Ni picked it up, and stood by the table with her black eyes open, looking at this and then that, she was really cute.Yun Suji teased her and asked, "Is this your child?"

Kong Xiaode sighed: "How can I have such a blessing, this is the daughter of the neighbor Lao Yang's family - when she boarded the boat, her buttocks were bare, she was as thin as a skeleton, and she was short of breath. But finally, there is still breath!" Said While smoking his cigarette again and again, Yun Suji saw that there were tears in his eyes.Knowing what had caused his grief.

While talking, Lao Yang came to look for Kong Xiaode, and when he entered the door, he ran into Yun Suji and his own daughter. Seeing that the leader was eating delicious food, Hei Ni also followed suit. Surprised, he first bowed to Yun Suji, and then He scolded Hei Ni and said: "You are a dead body! Why did you come here to find wild food to eat!" As he said that, he raised his hand and was about to hit him.

Yun Suji hurriedly stopped him: "What are you doing? I'm a greedy kid. A few mouthfuls are nothing." Then he said to Heini, "Eat, don't be afraid. I still have some here."

This old Yang said to the head of the Kong family: "Old Kong! Everyone else's grain has been pumped with ammonia water, and my son has been sent to labor. Will you please pump ammonia water for me later?"

Kong Xiaode said: "I will also apply ammonia in the afternoon!"

Old Yang said: "Then I can help too. After finishing your work, you can do mine later!"

Yun Suji asked: "Old Yang, what kind of labor does your son have to do?"

Lao Yang said: "Organize the construction site of the reservoir to repair the canal. Every family has to send at least one strong laborer. I only have one son. After he goes, I will do farm work alone."

Yun Suji said: "Are you sending labor for just one son?"

Lao Yang said: "It doesn't matter whether you have one son or several sons, if you are told to go, you will go, otherwise you will be called 'anti-production' and 'delay'. I can't stand being tied up by the militia and digging sand. Anyway, this The old bones can still afford it, and they can deal with it with a little help from the neighbors in the neighborhood. Now that life is peaceful and there is something to eat, it is not bad.

Kong Xiaode felt something was wrong and winked at Lao Yang.Old Yang is a good talker, and he couldn't stop talking about it, "Don't say that you don't have a strong labor force, even if there are only women in the family, you will be asked to go to the construction site. Last winter, Chief Du insisted on making a fuss about Qiannvdi, The villages are asked to send women to the construction site, saying that 'women can hold up half the sky'. Women are specially asked to repair embankments, and the world has never been heard of. The women of the Southern Manzi are easy to say-they are so big that they don't bind their feet when they are young. Our women are half-disabled if they let their feet go. It’s good to be able to go to the fields, and they have to carry heavy burdens! It doesn’t matter if they go, every household in the village has cut off fireworks, and the whole family has no food and drink! The work on the construction site is heavy, Within a few days, some were injured, some were so tired that they vomited blood. Well, I have to be taken care of when I come back! ——I don’t know what Chief Du thinks about it.”

Yun Suji lost her smile. This "Thousand Girls Embankment" is a water conservancy project that Du Wen personally grasped.At that time, the Executive Committee approved it because it felt that the symbolic significance was great and manpower was indeed needed for infrastructure construction.I didn't expect this to be the case!
