Steps of rebirth
Chapter 73
At 8 p.m. on December 28, Chen Li''s shouting came from a distance, "Jianhua, there''s your telegram."
Long Jianhua walked out of the house and stepped on the four or five inch deep snow to the edge of the roof. He responded loudly, "brother Liqian, read what it is ~"
"It''s not good. Come and see, or I''ll send it to you ~"
"It''s all right. Just open it and read it. "
"Here comes the seed! Wow, it''s the seed. I want you to go back and get it. "
Long Jianhua thought that was it.
Before coming, I had agreed with Pan Wenhua to send a telegram if there was an opportunity to go out of the province; If the seed arrives and the telegram comes, there are only two cases. In fact, no matter what the situation is, there is no need to hide it from the people of team 9.
"Brother Li Qian, tell Sheng fan to find 12 people to help me extract oil before 7 o''clock tomorrow, and we''ll get seeds the day after tomorrow ~"
He dug back a load of Gastrodia elata from the snow every day. Long Jianhua didn''t want to extract oil at all.
The camellia seeds are stacked in the house whether they are pressed or not; Dig or not, the money will be different.
By this afternoon, he had earned 1865 yuan and 872 yuan from selling sea cucumber and Gastrodia elata, making the money in his pocket reach more than 3800 yuan - a large amount, only 500 yuan less than before he went back last time.
At seven o''clock on the morning of the 29th, Chen Shengfan came from the North canyon with ten strong workers carrying baskets. Another was Chen Liqian''s wife Zhang Shulan.
When they came to the roof, they saw long Jianhua pouting his ass to catch sparrows from a large sieve with a diameter of six feet.
Chen Yuanshan said with a smile, "Jianhua, you really are. If you have this leisure, you might as well go out for a walk. Other medicinal materials can''t be found. There are still fragmentary grass roots. "
Long Jianhua smiled, "I tell you, during this time, I caught one or two sieves of sparrows every day and found some medicinal herbs - there are still medicinal herbs outside our ninth team. One day I went to the back of the mountain and saw eleven big wild boars. Although the largest one is not as big as the one we killed, the eleven are very symmetrical, with a small gross weight of 1670 kilograms and a large one of 200 kilograms. "
Chen Liqiang said, "if we kill them all, our ninth team won''t worry about meat next year."
Chen Shengfan said with a smile, "that is. It seems that we have to find a way to get some wild boars back. Don''t you mean to rely on the mountain? This is not close to the water. We have to get the month first. Then we live here in vain. "
Long Jianhua didn''t talk to them, but quickly took out sparrows from the sun; Soon, seventeen sparrows covered in the screen were placed beside him.
"A lot. Seventeen, you can have a good drink. " Chen Lishi smiled.
"OK, today we''ll have a good drink when we get back from pressing oil. Drink well. We''ll get the seeds tomorrow. "
Chen Shengfan said, "Uncle Jianhua, my third uncle said he wanted to pick seeds with us tomorrow."
Long Jianhua nodded and said, "this was negotiated before."
He always felt uncomfortable with Chen Shengfan calling his uncle. He was seven years older than him.
However, Mrs. Zhao and Chen Liping insisted on this request. The younger generation of their family were also called "Uncle Jianhua" and "Grandpa Jianhua"; After shouting for a long time, I gradually feel comfortable.
Then he clapped his hands, "I''ve dried the camellia seeds. I just need to pick them to the district oil press factory. Let me tell you something first. I''ll take care of your lunch today. I''ll pay the processing fee for pressing oil, and I''ll pay 70% of the pressed oil. The rest will be divided equally among the twelve of you; It''s OK to put a little insecticidal on oil cakes and vegetables. If any of you want... Well, I''ll keep ten kilograms and you''ll share the rest equally. "
Chen Yuanshan said with a smile, "Jianhua, we''re sorry if you do this. We''re equivalent to running with a burden."
Long Jianhua shook his head. "You can''t say that. It''s twenty-four or five miles back and forth. Now no one in the ninth team is short of these dimes. I''m very grateful for helping me. "
Although the ninth team is rich now, the carpenter still has only fifty cents a day and the apprentice''s ten to fifteen cents a day.
Long Jianhua didn''t give them the salary, but gave them oil. Seventy-five cents a kilogram of oil. Now everyone is still short of oil. It''s not about money.
Long Jianhua himself had to pick a load of Gastrodia elata to sell, so all the eleven male workers were full, and only Zhang Shulan was a little more than half a load.
Zhang Shulan came because Chen Shengfan thought it was appropriate for each family to have someone to help, and she wanted to help herself.
Because of long Jianhua''s reason, Chen Li can only eat national food before. He can get food tickets, oil tickets, tofu tickets and other things that can only be seen from others every month.
The party crunched on the thick snow. When he came to the supply and marketing cooperative, the supply and Marketing Cooperative opened the door. Long Jianhua sold Gastrodia elata for 92 yuan.
Then he divided some camellia seeds from eleven male laborers and reduced everyone''s weight by six or seven kilograms.
At 9:30, the party arrived at the district oil press factory and happened to meet a pot of steamed tea seeds poured out and ready to start frying. No one else lined up. The master in charge of steaming smiled with yellow teeth, "your time is good. Just in time, no one lined up."
The oil refinery has six steamers, three extra large ones and three small ones. The extra large steamer can steam 500 kg of camellia seeds at a time. Long Jianhua can steam these camellia seeds at one time.
After pouring camellia seeds into the steamer, long Jianhua looked at the whole oil extraction process, and then took out eight kilograms of food stamps and 12 yuan to Chen Shengfan. "It takes six hours to get the oil out. It''s nothing. Let''s go shopping and eat after shopping. Each person is six or two meters and one yuan. Don''t save it. "
Master Huang Ya was smoking outside the door and shouted, "where are you from? I have to eat so much for a meal. Are you ready to eat dragon meat? "
Long Jianhua said with a smile, "take it first. What if it''s less?"
Chen Shengfan was not polite. He took the food stamps and money, talked and laughed with those people and went to the street.
Long Jianhua doesn''t want to go on the street. He has nothing to sell and buy. It''s better to see the original oil pressing technology here.
The household items for steaming camellia seeds are only a five foot wooden steamer and an eight foot iron pot. Of course, there is a solid stove matching it.
Master Huang Ya is responsible for the fire of steaming and frying. He is very skilled in this. Basically, he can ensure that the height of the fire does not exceed two centimeters. This should be a unique skill.
Fried camellia seeds are completely hard fried. Pour the steamed camellia seeds into a large iron pot. A strong man takes a large shovel and stirs them in the pot to make the camellia seeds heat evenly and keep them at 130 to 140 degrees.
When the camellia seed became darker to a certain extent, the strong man roared, "ready to squeeze!"
The most proud of the district oil press is the screw press, which is said to be the first in the county. Other areas are still using the oldest way of using people to hit wedges and squeeze with giant wood, with slow speed and low oil production rate.
There were seven people in the oil refinery. Long Jianhua gave them each a pack of economic cigarettes and said to them, "I''ll trouble you next."
Master Huang Ya was straightforward, "what''s the trouble? We eat this bowl of rice. "
