The salted fish life of the lucky wife

Chapter 404 404, potato seeds

On June [-], the Shengli Production Brigade held another meeting.

When the whole village learned that their village had bought a hundred catties of potato seeds, there was a burst of excitement on the scene.

"It's saved, it's saved~"

"God bless you."

"Great, now you don't have to worry about running out of food."

"It's still our captain who is wise."

This news was undoubtedly a great news for everyone, the crowd was full of enthusiasm, the joy was beyond words, and many people even burst into tears of joy.

No wonder everyone is so excited, it is really the worry and anxiety during this period, which is like a stone pressing on everyone's heart.

Although the situation in their village is better than that of the surrounding production brigades, there are still worries in their brigade.

So far, there has been no indication from above, which shows that food has reached a point of extreme shortage, which also means that there is no hope for at least half a year in the future.

Because the spring seeds are not even sown, how to harvest in autumn?

Although their village has planted some wheat and potatoes, the combined amount cannot support the rations of the whole team for half a year.

Both potatoes and wheat were planted later than in previous years, so potatoes will not be harvested until early next month, while spring wheat will not be harvested until August.

Given the current situation in their village, there is no problem in supporting them for another month. After the potatoes and wheat are harvested one after another, they will have food rations.

Although the number is small, it can be supported for a while at least.

In fact, they had secretly thought about it a long time ago. Now that they have reduced their daily rations, they should be able to survive until October after harvesting potatoes and wheat in July and August.

But the question is, after October?What should they survive on?
Especially once October is over, the climate will enter the autumn and winter seasons. In such cold weather, there will be fewer crops that can be planted.

If there is no food to survive the winter, their bodies will not be able to withstand the cold at all, and they may die of starvation or cold.

Therefore, what they worry about recently is not how they will not be able to eat enough in the past few months, but how they will survive after October?
Although he can only eat two meals a day now, and he is still full of water, it is better than having no food to eat.

But now it's different. The team leader told them that there are [-] catties of sweet potatoes, which are high-yield crops. As long as these sweet potatoes are planted, they will not run out of food in October.

Even though it's a bit late to plant sweet potatoes at this point, fortunately, it's not too late, there's still time!

If they planted sweet potatoes now, they would be able to harvest them at the end of October or early November, so that when winter came, they could still hold their breath.

As long as they survive the winter, spring will come, when the earth will recover and many edible things will grow on the mountains again.

By next year, the situation in the country should get better, right?Then they can continue farming safely.

Qi Zhongkang raised his hand as a signal, and the scene that was still boiling, quieted down almost instantly.

Through various performances in the past two months, the whole village now has deep confidence and respect for Qi Zhongkang, the captain.

If it weren't for Qi Zhongkang, their village must be about the same as the surrounding production teams. At least they can still eat two meals in their village. I heard that many places can only eat one meal a day.

Seeing that the villagers became quiet, Qi Zhongkang said slowly, "The hundred catties of sweet potatoes were hard-earned, I asked Qi Han to buy them, and the money will be paid from the brigade's public account, do you have any objections? "

"No opinion!!" Everyone replied in unison.

At this time, who still cares about the work points and dividends in the public account, it is a blessing in misfortune that they can survive.

Qi Zhongkang's expression was solemn, and his tone suddenly severe, "I believe everyone knows very well that the reason why our village can buy grain seeds all depends on Qi Han's work in the transportation team, who can travel from south to north.

So, if you let me know who is talking nonsense outside, remember, you will be disqualified from food distribution. Since you can ignore the life and death of our whole team, then we can’t blame our team for not saving us.

In addition, our brigade still needs to rely on Qi Han in many places in the future. When you visit relatives and friends, it is best not to talk too much. If anyone affects Qi Han's work in the transportation team, the consequences conceited! "

"Yes!"

Everyone was excited and hurriedly responded in unison.

If anyone in their village still has the ability to help the brigade, it must be the Qi family. Thinking about it carefully, the Da Qi family has helped the village several times. If it weren't for the Qi family, they might have run out of food.

They knew before that the work of the transport team was good. After all, they could drive big trucks and eat public food. It was a honor to say it.

But now, they feel better. Of course, this "better" is not just a decent job, but the convenience that this job can bring to the village.

Because Qi Han can go to many places that they can't go to, and can buy things that can't be bought locally, if Qi Han didn't use the convenience of his work to help them run, then they wouldn't have seeds.

Thinking of this, everyone secretly decided that they must respect Da Qi's family more in the future, and they must not offend, or even condone and allow other people in the village to provoke Da Qi's family.

All of a sudden, the status of the Daqi family in the village soared, becoming the most valuable family in the village.

Now that he got the potato seeds, Qi Zhongkang started to arrange the planting of sweet potatoes that afternoon.

-

Qi's courtyard.

Qin Tianru was dismantling wooden boxes in his room. When he came back last night, he briefly told his parents about the situation in the county town, and then went back to his room to rest.

And this morning, there was another meeting in the village, and she didn't have time to take out the wooden box until after lunch.

She took carpentry tools and tapped for a while before finally poking open the bottom of the wooden box.

Sure enough, there was a layer of partitions at the bottom of the wooden box. Now after the interlayer was removed, there was something wrapped in red cloth in the bottom layer, which was exactly the same length as the wooden box.

Qin Tianru lifted the red cloth curiously, revealing the contents inside instantly.

\(⊙▽⊙)/
Qin Tianru was surprised, and looked straight at the things at the bottom of the wooden box.

She originally thought that what was hidden in the wooden box should be some precious jewelry, or some kind of secret prescription, but she never expected that what was wrapped inside was a top-quality ginseng plant!
Looking at the appearance of this ginseng, it must be more than 500 years old, right?
