"Leave a thousand catties?"
"How many catties will each person receive?"
Zhou Ziwen asked curiously.
"There are about 500 people in our village who have labor force. Each of these people is given one and a half kilograms. There are also some people who have no labor force and are given one kilogram. One thousand kilograms is almost enough." The captain explained .
“It happens that the village will distribute food tomorrow, so keep these mushrooms and distribute them to everyone then.”
"Okay, then I'll ask them to keep the mushrooms distributed to the village." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
By the way, the welfare in this village is really good. I have grown mushrooms and want to give them to the villagers to try.
After a few words with the captain, Zhou Ziwen arranged the matter.
The captain and Wu Dagang didn't stay long, looked at it for a while and then left.
There are not many mushrooms left in the mushroom house, probably only more than two thousand kilograms.
Being busy, the morning passed quickly.
The last mushrooms in the mushroom house have been picked.
Finally, it was weighed and it weighed more than 2,300 kilograms.
Including the more than 4,500 kilograms picked yesterday, this batch of mushrooms produced more than 6,800 kilograms, 800 kilograms more than he originally expected.
On average, the yield per square meter is twenty-two pounds.
Generally speaking, if you can produce twenty kilograms per square meter, it is considered a high yield. He can produce twenty-two kilograms here, which is indispensable for his level five mushroom cultivation skills.
"Clean the mushroom house in the afternoon and we can have a holiday."
Before leaving work at noon, Zhou Ziwen made arrangements for the afternoon's work.
Going home with the Chen sisters, Zhou Ziwen was not idle either and continued to grind sweet potato starch with a stone mill.
Yesterday Chen Yang entertained guests, which delayed the matter.
Seeing Zhou Ziwen busy pushing the wheels, Chen Qiaoyi followed him with a wink to help.
One of them pushed the grinder, and the other added chopped sweet potatoes into the grinder's eye.
Male and female match, work is not tiring.
The eldest sister of the Chen family hasn’t prepared lunch yet, and they have finished grinding the sweet potatoes.
The ground sweet potato starch needs to settle for a few days. After the essence inside has settled, what remains is the real sweet potato starch.
Chen Qiaoyi collected the remains of the sweet potatoes and dried them in the sun.
These residues will be used as feed for the chickens in the backyard.
Although it is just some residue, it is still food after all and is still very nutritious.
Today’s lunch was a bit plain. The roe deer meat that we had beaten earlier had been eaten. Yesterday, Chen Yang treated him to a treat. Zhou Ziwen had two salted fish, and only the last two were left at home.
But these two items were intended to be given to Uncle Wu to replenish his health. Apart from a few eggs, there was basically no meat at home.
"We need to get some meat!"
Zhou Ziwen was eating Erhe noodle steamed buns, but he was thinking about getting some more meat.
Going to the county town to buy meat will not solve the problem. With his appetite, one or two kilograms of meat is not enough.
Fortunately, there are a lot of game in the mountains. After today's holiday, he plans to go hunting in the mountains in the next few days.
There was going to be a banquet with Chen Qiaoyi soon, and he had to get some meat so that the little girl of the Chen family could marry in glory.
Getting married in this era is very simple, especially in the countryside. Just invite some relatives and friends over for a meal and that's it.
"Ziwen, why don't you go to the county to buy some meat tomorrow? I still have some meat tickets here." Perhaps seeing that today's dish was not to Zhou Ziwen's liking, Chen Shiying said.
“Forget it, I will go to the mountains tomorrow to see if I can hunt a hare back.” Zhou Ziwen shook his head.
He also knew that Chen Shiying didn’t have much money or tickets. Although her family sent them some, they were not much.
As a man, he doesn’t want to use women’s money.
Just to be greedy for meat, he spent all his hard-earned savings, something he couldn't do.
"Okay, if we don't catch it, we will go to the county town to buy meat." Chen Shiying continued. "Okay." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
After a not very sumptuous lunch, Zhou Ziwen returned to his home.
The sweet potato starch is almost done, all that’s left is to wait.
For the time being, he was pretty much busy.
He has been busy these days, and he also wants to take a rest.
The weather outside turned cold, so Zhou Ziwen found a quilt.
Although his health is very good, he is not immune to the cold and heat.
Take off your clothes when it’s hot and put on a quilt when it’s cold, just like ordinary people.
That is Zhou Ziwen, and the Chen sisters next door have already covered themselves with quilts.
After lunch, sleepiness came over him. Zhou Ziwen lay on the bed and fell asleep soon.
But not long after he slept, he was awakened by the sound of gongs in the village.
“This alarm clock is really on time!” Zhou Ziwen opened his eyes and lay on the bed for another two minutes.
It's not that he's lazy, it's mainly that the weather is so good for sleeping.
There isn't much sun outside and the temperature is very suitable.
It would be a pity not to sleep in such nice weather.
I slowly got up from the bed and washed my face. The Chen sisters next door were ready to go.
"Brother Ziwen, do you want to go to work?" Chen Qiaoyi shouted across the yard from outside.
“Coming!”
It was holiday after today, and he didn't want to miss the last half day.
Coming out of the house, Tayun followed behind him.
“Want to go with us? Then let’s go!” Zhou Ziwen said hello to Tayun, and the bitch followed him in a hurry.
I didn’t take Tuyun with me before, firstly because it was still young and I was afraid of getting lost after going out. Now that I have fed it for so long, after his training, it is impossible for it to get lost.
Also, all the mushrooms in the mushroom house have been picked, so it’s okay to take it there.
If the mushroom hadn't been picked yet, he wouldn't have taken it there.
When we arrived at the mushroom house, other team members from the village also arrived.
Zhou Ziwen began to arrange work for everyone, first cleaning up the mushroom house.
It will be winter soon, and the mushroom house will be free. If we don’t tidy it up, we probably won’t be able to see it until next year.
With more people and greater strength, it didn’t take long to finish everything in one fell swoop.
"Team leader, is there anything else you need to do?" Wang Dayou asked.
“No, please close the door, everyone can get off work early.”
Zhou Ziwen announced a holiday with a wave of his hand.
“Yeah, it’s a holiday!”
As soon as Zhou Ziwen finished speaking, the team members immediately cheered.
"Let's go, see you all tomorrow." Zhou Ziwen waved to the team members in the village.
The food will be distributed tomorrow. After the food is distributed, everyone will go back to their homes and start preparing for Cat Winter.
After closing the door of the mushroom house, Zhou Ziwen took the delighted Chen sisters, Shen Zhaodi and Zhou Chaoyang home.
"Brother Zhou, I am going to go to the mountain to chop some firewood tomorrow. Do you want to go?" Zhou Chaoyang asked on the way back.
During this period, everyone was talking about Mao Dong. Zhou Chaoyang was also affected and began to prepare for Mao Dong.
"I want to go, but I'm going to the mountains, not in the same place as you." Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"Deep in the mountains? Can I go with you?" Zhou Chaoyang's eyes lit up, and he became interested. (End of this chapter)
