Fortunately, Zhang Daniu had already thought of this and prepared a few for him.
Of course, the grain he received was not the largest in Forsythia Village. Although he worked ten work points a day, he didn't have many work points before he became a repairman. After two months, the grain he received was only 120. About kilograms.
If 120 kilograms of grain are ground into rice, there will be losses, so Fang Xiaoyue estimates that if she uses up all this grain, she will be hungry for a while before the autumn harvest based on her current appetite.
Pushing several bags of grain in a wheelbarrow, Fang Xiaoyue returned to the thatched house with a frown.
There is no doubt that his calculations were somewhat wrong.
He had only calculated the total grain output of the Eighth Brigade before, but had forgotten the need to pay public grain.
After thinking for a while, Fang Xiaoyue didn't think too much about this problem. There must be a way to reach the mountain.
Just when he was about to cook in his own pot for the first time, his two apprentices, Li Honggang and Tian Xinguo, pushed a wheelbarrow into the yard and said hello to Fang Xiaoyue: "Hello, Master."
Then the two men walked towards the thatched house carrying the rice bags.
"What are you doing?"
Fang Xiaoyue was a little surprised by the two people's actions. When he chased after them, he found that they had put the rice bags into the rice cabinet.
"Master, it's inconvenient for educated youths to have too many people to cook. From now on, Xinguo and I will work together at your place."
Li Honggang replied with a smile.
The Educated Youth Point was originally a warehouse of the brigade. Due to disrepair, it was abandoned after the new warehouse was repaired.
After the educated youths went to the countryside, Zhang Daniu could not find any spare houses for the educated youths to live, so he had people clean out abandoned warehouses and use them as dormitories for educated youths.
Fang Xiaoyue has been to the educated youth dormitory. Although it is a little damp, it is not a big problem to live in.
However, since the stoves were made of large rocks and mud, the educated youths were slow to cook, which led to the problem Li Honggang mentioned.
Fang Xiaoyue looked at Li Honggang and Tian Xinguo, and weighed their appetites in her mind, thinking that since these two guys were almost adults, their appetites shouldn't be as big as hers, so if they were working together, she wouldn't be at a disadvantage?
"Okay, then who will cook? I can't cook."
Fang Xiaoyue exposed her shortcomings.
Indeed, in the previous world, when he was a young bachelor, he always ate in the canteen, and occasionally ordered takeout or something, where they would cook.
As for the barbecue, it was all thanks to the buffet barbecue restaurant, where he learned how to cook it.
"I can cook. My dad is a chef. I learned a little from him before."
Li Honggang was the first to take over the matter.
But it was impossible to cook at this time. They had to send the rice to the mill in the next village to be ground into rice.
When grinding rice for the first time, Fang Xiaoyue took two people with her. After all, this matter would be left to them in the future. It was considered as a form of training for Fang Xiaoyue to be lazy.
By the time the three of them returned to the thatched cottage out of breath, lunch time had long passed.
Fang Xiaoyue asked Li Honggang to cook, while she took Tian Xinguo towards Dalong Mountain.
Eating just rice without vegetables, not to mention Fang Xiaoyue, a guy who has been influenced by delicious food, even Li Honggang and Tian Xinguo can't stand it.
It's just that when they were at the Educated Youth Point, they still had some reserves of dried meat, pickles, etc. they brought from the city. Now, those things have been eaten up long ago.
Fang Xiaoyue did not go to Dalong Mountain, but took Tian Xinguo to pick a few wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain. By luck, she found a turtle dove nest in a bush of grass with two eggs inside, which was confiscated by the ruthless Fang Xiaoyue.
When the two of them returned, the rice had been cooked in the wooden barrel, and the aroma from the rice made their mouths water.
It should be said that Li Honggang still has some cooking skills.
In the absence of vegetable oil, the two eggs and wild vegetables were used to make a large pot of egg drop and wild vegetable soup.
Fang Xiaoyue ate three large bowls of rice, but Li Honggang and Tian Xinguo were even more frightened. Each of them ate four bowls! If the barrel hadn't been empty, they could still eat it!
As for the egg drop and wild vegetable soup in the pot, not a drop was left.
At this time, Fang Xiaoyue understood that there was no oil and water. People's appetite is really scary.
Well, I seem to be at a bit of a disadvantage!
Fang Xiaoyue felt that she might be hungry for a longer time before the autumn harvest.
However, thanks to Li Honggang, the meals were cooked well every day, which quickly made Fang Xiaoyue ignore the daily decrease in food.
The summer harvest is over, and Forsythia Village once again devotes itself to summer planting.
Due to the regional climate, Forsythia Village mainly grows summer corn, summer soybeans and some vegetables in summer.
The fields are dried, deep plowed, exposed to the sun, and then finely plowed to form ridges of soil, and finally corn is planted.
This time, Fang Xiaoyue didn't have much room to do anything. The most he could do was to trim the plow.
After thousands of years of evolution, this thing's shape has become quite mature, and he can't improve it even if he wants to.
As for mechanized operations, just think about it and forget about it.
With Forsythia Village's foundation, there is no capital to build a tractor at all.
The most important thing is that Fang Xiaoyue has never built a tractor. Even with the bonus of item manufacturing expertise and dexterity, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and it is impossible to build one.
As time passed, Fang Xiaoyue's body became much stronger with enough food, and her strength increased a lot compared to before.
But this is almost the limit of his physical fusion with Zhang Fugui.
To put it simply, he can lift one hundred and eighty kilograms of grain, which is undoubtedly a considerable amount of strength.
You should know that the average adult man can only lift 40-60 pounds at most.
A few days after the summer planting ended, Zhang Daniu called Fang Xiaoyue to the brigade headquarters.
Arriving at the brigade headquarters, Fang Xiaoyue saw a stranger in the brigade headquarters talking to Zhang Daniu.
Hearing the footsteps, Zhang Daniu and the stranger both turned their heads and looked over.
"Are you Comrade Zhang Fugui?"
The stranger was about forty years old, with a square face and thick eyebrows. He could probably be a company commander in a movie.
However, he was very enthusiastic and seemed to regard the brigade headquarters as his home. When he saw Fang Xiaoyue, he came up to him and extended his hand with enthusiasm.
Well, this is probably the first time Fang Xiaoyue shakes hands with someone since she came to this world.
Soon, under Zhang Daniu's introduction, Fang Xiaoyue knew the other party's identity.
Wang Feng, the technical section chief of the county agricultural machinery factory.
Well, this name is a bit domineering.
After Zhang Daniu's introduction, it turned out that Wang Feng was his brother-in-law.
Fang Xiaoyue suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the captain's house had industrial tickets, oil tickets, etc. It turned out that they were all sent by his brother-in-law.
But this time Wang Feng came not to see his brother-in-law, but to see Fang Xiaoyue.
The reason is relatively simple. Zhang Fugui from Forsythia Village is quite famous now.
Especially after the leader returned last time, the name of Zhang Fugui, a capable person, was barely spread.
After Wang Feng heard this, he became interested, so he came from the county town to see his brother-in-law on the way, because he wanted to see Fang Xiaoyue.
Zhang Daniu attaches great importance to this.
He felt that if Fang Xiaoyue could take the opportunity to be recruited into the county agricultural machinery factory this time, it would be a golden job, and he would not have to worry about the future of this distant nephew in the future.
Besides, he felt that Fang Xiaoyue was a young man with a great future, and it would be a waste if he stayed in Forsythia Village.
As for the human harvester and so on, wouldn’t he be a member of the Eighth Brigade if he stayed at the agricultural machinery factory?
Zhang Daniu believed that something would happen at that time, so he called out. Would this guy dare to come back and help?
But after all, Wang Feng was just the chief of the technical department, not the director of the factory, and he didn't dare to make any promises. He could only wait until he went back to ask.
But time passed day by day, and it was almost the autumn harvest. The corn and soybeans in the fields were almost mature, and there was still no news from Wang Feng.
Zhang Daniu, who was more anxious than Fang Xiaoyue, took the initiative to go to the county seat.
This is probably his first trip to the county seat in recent years.
Zhang Daniu, who came back from the county seat, seemed a little unhappy and pulled Fang Xiaoyue aside. It probably meant that the agricultural machinery factory was not very profitable now. There were a lot of agricultural machinery accumulated and could not be sold, so there were no plans to recruit workers during this period.
Fang Xiaoyue understood this very well.
The situation in this small plane at this time is the same as that of his world forty or fifty years ago. There are too many small factories in various places.
These small factories basically have the disadvantage of low technical strength.
It's right to think about it. Take this agricultural machinery factory in the county as an example. When it was first established, everyone was very happy. However, after it was established, the technology was not strong enough and the agricultural machinery produced frequently encountered returns. Now, the supply and marketing of the county has Companies are unwilling to accept their products.
Under such circumstances, the agricultural machinery factory only pays guaranteed wages from top to bottom, and there are no bonuses or subsidies.
After asking about it like this, Zhang Daniu's thoughts about Fang Xiaoyue entering the factory became much lighter.
In any case, Fang Xiaoyue can't put too much thought into this matter, because the autumn harvest is coming, and he needs to build a new human harvester and modify the existing human harvester to be suitable for corn and soybeans. On the harvest.
Time passed quickly, and Fang Xiaoyue did not go hungry for a few meals during this period. After all, if such a capable person was placed in the village, Zhang Daniu would not let him go hungry.
As soon as the autumn harvest is over, Fang Xiaoyue will be 17 years old.
During this period of time, Fang Xiaoyue carefully honed his skills by manufacturing machines for the brigade.
And the two apprentices, Li Honggang and Tian Xinguo, also learned a lot from him.
"Fugui, are you going to the city today?"
Early in the morning, Zhang Daniu came to call Fang Xiaoyue.
Naturally, what he meant by going to the city was not going to Materia Medica Town, but going to the county seat.
As time goes by, the New Year is approaching.
Zhang Daniu felt that this year's harvest was a good one, and the entire brigade had a new atmosphere, so he thought about going to the county town, buying some New Year's goods, and at the same time, stopping by his brother-in-law's house to enjoy the autumn breeze.
