Chapter 196 Zhao Jianhai Gets Beaten Again
After eating in the morning, after dealing with a wave of customers who came to the door, Wang Manyin walked towards the mountain with rhubarb.

Entering the winter moon, a few old yellow winds blew, and the weather became colder and colder.

The continuous mountain ridges, the knife-cut cliff ditches, the open fields, and the desolate Xintianyou make the whole Loess Plateau even more desolate and desolate.

Except for the sporadic winter wheat on the plateau that exudes green, it is gray and bulging, and there is hardly any vivid color to be seen.

After turning over several mountain ridges, Wang Manyin released the peregrine falcon.

Then, he brought rhubarb into the space to get busy.

There is not much cooking oil at home, and he plans to squeeze some more while he is free, and save it for the Chinese New Year.

Before getting busy, prepare lunch first.

Wang Manyin caught a pheasant weighing more than three catties from the pit, and quickly plucked the hair and guts.After cleaning, put it in a crock pot and add water to simmer slowly.

Then, he started to stir-fry the rapeseed.

In fact, when the first wave of rapeseeds began to be harvested in Chunshang Space, Wang Manyin tried to make rapeseed oil independently... The method is actually very simple. For details, refer to the local method of oil extraction in the countryside.

Wash and fry the rapeseed first, then crush it into powder with a stone mortar.He originally wanted to use a stone mill to complete this step, but unfortunately he never bought a stone mill.

Then wrap the rapeseed powder with gauze, put it on the pot and steam for half an hour, and pour it into a wooden tube (not a wooden barrel).

The wooden barrel was made by Wang Manyin after he found a tree trunk and used his imagination to hollow it out. It is about [-] centimeters high, the wall of the barrel is two fingers thick, and a small hole the size of chopsticks is drilled at the bottom.In addition, there must be a wooden stake slightly thinner than the inner diameter of the cylinder.

Everything is ready, and then a miracle will be done vigorously, smashing the wooden pile with a stone, and using the pressure to squeeze out the clear oil in the rapeseed.

Of course, it is easy to say, but very difficult to do.First of all, the heat of stir-frying rapeseed should be low. If it is too large, it will be easily fried, and the squeezed rapeseed oil will taste bitter.

Wang Manyin tried many times before he grasped the key.Now he can not only press rapeseed oil, but also make peanut oil.

Of course, the pressing is not complete with this method, and the oil yield is relatively low.

But Wang Manyin didn't care at all, as long as he had enough oil to eat at home.

As for pressing sesame oil... it is the method of substituting water.He has seen related tutorials when watching videos in later generations. It is very simple, as long as he has real hands, he can operate it smoothly at home.

Busy until noon, Wang Manyin managed to squeeze out four catties of rapeseed oil.

That's more than the amount of oil shared per capita in Guanzi Village.Last year, each of the second team shared a catty of rapeseed oil, a catty of peanut oil, and two taels of sesame oil.

Since the spring of this year, the team has only distributed rapeseed oil once, and it is estimated that peanut oil and sesame oil will be distributed until a few years ago.

Wang Manyin's family usually uses about a catty of oil every month. If there is no space to support it, it would have stopped early.He didn't forget his old father-in-law's house either, and quietly asked Lan Hua to send him a catty of rapeseed oil in summer.

After putting the rapeseed oil into the crock to settle, Wang Manyin took out his watch to check the time, it was just 11:30.

It happened that the pheasant chicken in the crock was also stewed badly, so he first picked out the chicken head, neck and half of the internal organs, then poured some chicken soup into the bowl, and got half a bowl of bran.

After the rhubarb was settled, Wang Manyin picked up the chopsticks and started.

After filling his stomach and resting for a while, he carried half a bundle of firewood on his back and hurried towards the village with rhubarb.

The sun has warmed up by now, and before walking too far, my forehead became hot and sweaty.

When we arrived at the door, as expected, there were already people waiting to buy things.

The person who came was from Shichuan Village... Ever since Wang Manyin opened the sales agency, he has gotten to know all the members of the two nearby villages.

After saying hello, he hurriedly led people into the consignment point.

Then, a few more broken babies came to the door.

After selling goods for a few dollars intermittently, Wang Manyin completely relaxed.

He simply moved a chair and sat on the sidelines in front of the door to read a book.The cotton-padded jacket in the sun became hot, and after a while, the whole person began to feel sleepy.

This is also Wang Manyin's current normal state, entering the cat winter time ahead of schedule.

He doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking every day, he really has no more pursuits.

Simply guarding Xiaojia, the years are quiet and good.

Before falling asleep, I suddenly heard a loud car bell coming from the dirt road next to me.

Wang Manyin turned his head to look around, and saw someone stopping and waving at him. It was Yang Gaohu, the director of the commune.Beside him stood a young man with a majestic face, this was the first time he had seen him.

"Officer Yang, what are you doing..." Wang Manyin greeted, and hurriedly got up and walked off the court.

When he got close, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over.

After several contacts with Yang Gaohu, both of them are considered acquaintances.

The other party took the cigarette and put it on his ear, and introduced: "Well, this is Officer Ma. He came to your village today to investigate the educated youth. I will ask some people from the village later. Do you have time now? If so Come with me too."

Seeing the cigarette being handed over, Officer Ma waved his hand, but did not reach out to take it.

"Educated youth, what's the matter with the educated youth?" Wang Manyin asked puzzled.

"This needs to be kept secret." Before his companion could answer, Officer Ma stopped the conversation.

Yang Gaohu smiled and didn't explain anything anymore.

"Okay, I'll lock the door now and go with you."

Although he spoke in a negotiating tone, Wang Manyin did not intend to refuse.

"By the way, is Liu Xiangyang still in the village now? You can help me out by the way, and we need to ask him to find out more about the situation." Before leaving, Yang Gaohu asked again.

"Okay, I'll go find him." Wang Manyin replied again.

But he was getting more and more muttering in his heart.You know, Yang Gaohu is not a civilian officer, but in charge of security in the commune.It is probably not a good thing for him to come forward to investigate.

When Wang Manyin arrived near the earth dam, he saw Liu Xiangyang busy with a shovel in the low-lying place beside the ditch.Now that there is not much work in the fields, Liu Xiangyang has also relaxed. He is mainly responsible for guarding the fish ponds. If he has time, he can also dig a few loaches for tooth sacrifice.

Especially since it hasn't rained much recently, the ditches beside the rice fields have dried up, and there are many loaches hidden in the soil.

This is also the only advantage of guarding the fish pond, and there are some fish to eat every now and then.Because of the lack of oil, he usually eats the loach he finds by roasting it.

However, Liu Xiangyang knew that many people were jealous of his work, so he didn't dare to think about fish ponds.

"Brother Wang, why are you here? I went to play in the morning and saw that your door is locked."

"I went into the mountains this morning to collect firewood, Xiangyang, haven't you done anything lately..."

Knowing that Yang Gaohu was still waiting in the village, Wang Manyin didn't go around in circles, and directly stated his purpose of coming.

After listening to this, Liu Xiangyang was also a little confused and uneasy.He thought about it carefully, and said, "Brother Wang, you know that I definitely haven't done anything other than go to the educated youths in various villages to play."

"That's good……"

After confirming that Liu Xiangyang was fine, Wang Manyin felt relieved.

When the two rushed to the village, they found that all village cadres, big and small, were present.

Besides him and Liu Xiangyang, Wang Fuchang was also called.

"I'm Ma Hongtao, the officer in charge of the water conservancy infrastructure construction site. I'm here to investigate in Guanzi Village. I want to know how the ten educated youths have performed in your village this year?"

"Okay, very good." Wang Mantun praised the other party even though he was a little surprised about his background.The commune has repeatedly emphasized that education should be the main focus, so of course he dare not speak ill of it.

"Secretary Wang, how did I hear that one of these educated youths, Shang Zhimin, was a particularly thorny man who openly attacked Zhao Jianhai..." Hearing this, Ma Hongtao emphasized with a slight frown.

"Ah, this, this should be... a dispute occurred," Wang Mandun replied, looking at the two of them in doubt.

To do a survey, shouldn't it be hello, me, hello, everyone?No matter how obedient he is, he seems to be trying to trouble the educated youths.

"I also learned that a few months ago, Zhao Jianhai was beaten with a sap and chained outside for a whole night in the cold. After such a long time, did your investigation find anything?"

"This...we only found out in the morning. That...we investigated at that time, but no bad guys were found. This..." Wang Mandun suddenly became nervous.

As expected of being born by a mother, he is very similar to Wang Manjun.When things happen, Che Rulu speaks very slickly.

Fortunately, Ma Hongtao did not delve into it: "Do you think this Shang Zhimin has acted suspiciously..."

Hearing this, everyone was silent.

Now even a fool can see that Shang Zhimin must be in trouble again.

The point is, isn't the other party going out of the river?What can happen.

Seeing no one answered, Ma Hongtao directly named Wang Lianshun.

"Shang Zhimin's work is okay, and he didn't find anything unusual." Wang Lianshun said in a confused way.Although he was not satisfied with the group of educated youths in his heart, he didn't intend to say anything bad.Because maybe a word of one's own will have a great impact.

Ma Hongtao asked several people repeatedly, and everyone said the same thing.Without understanding what is going on, no one dares to talk nonsense.

When he came to Wang Manyin, he also talked in general: "Based on my usual contacts, Shang Zhi is a nice person. Of course, I rarely go to the educated youth spot, and I don't know more about it."

After a group of people asked, but did not get the desired answer, Ma Hongtao's face was still calm, but he got up and said he needed to go to the toilet.

After the other party left, Wang Yanqiang asked Yang Gaohu: "Lao Yang, what's the matter? You came to the village unexpectedly, and you made people feel uncomfortable."

The other party lowered his voice and said with a wry smile: "You don't know yet...Zhao Jianhai was beaten on the construction site last night and is now in the hospital..."

Zhao Jianhai was beaten unconscious when he went to the bathroom in the middle of the night.Yang Gaohu didn't know exactly what was going on at the site. He only knew that there was a lot of commotion at the water conservancy infrastructure construction site.

After investigation and inquiry by the construction site management personnel, Zhao Jianhai also had a similar experience in Guanzi Village.

That's why they sent Ma Hongtao to Guanzi Village to find out the details and see if they could get some clues.

Now several educated youths in the village are under suspicion, especially Shang Zhimin and Zhao Jianhai once had a fierce conflict, and they are regarded as the main suspects.

Good guy!
Hearing what Yang Gaohu said, Zhao Jianhai was knocked out first, then something was stuffed in his mouth, and he was beaten again.It seems that the injury is quite serious.

Wang Manyin didn't have any sympathy, why did he feel so relieved?But he kept a serious expression on his face, trying not to smile.

At the same time, he also really wanted to know what move Zhao Jianhai did to provoke someone to do something wrong.

But having said that, based on the opponent's behavior, it seems that there is nothing abnormal about being beaten.

"Is there any evidence pointing to Shang Zhimin?"

"No, many people testified to him that Shang Zhimin played cards with a few companions last night, and didn't lie down to sleep until dawn."

If there is evidence, the construction site will not only send the horse officer over.

After some inquiries, they didn't get any useful information, so Officer Ma and Yang Gaohu left in a hurry.

When the two of them disappeared on their bicycles, Wang Yanqiang couldn't help laughing and said: "Sure enough, the wicked want to be tortured by the wicked. There are five people and six people in white chicken shit all day long. Now I must have provoked a hard stubble."

"From that point of view, Zhao Jianhai will probably stay in the hospital for a while. If he hadn't returned to the village a year ago, we could have a safe and healthy year." Wang Lianshun also nodded repeatedly.

"Why don't you take this opportunity to finish the head rations earlier. We can't delay until the Chinese New Year just because he hasn't come back." At this time, Wang Fugui suggested again.

Now the second team distributes more than 200 catties of food per person, which has not yet reached the required amount. Years ago, there was still autumn food to be distributed.The previous potatoes and sweet potatoes were easy to go bad if they were piled together, so they were dug out and shared among the members.

The distribution of grains such as corn millet is much stricter, and Director Zhao usually needs to witness it with his own eyes.

Therefore, although the corn cobs have been processed, they are only temporarily stored in the warehouse and stamped with grain stamps, and have not been recorded in the real account.

The so-called grain seal is a large seal.Print it on the grain pile to prevent it from being stolen.Because the grain particles are very loose, as long as there is a slight movement, the traces of grain marks will change.

The grain seals of this era are very distinctive, generally engraved with the word "fairness", which reflects the good wishes of the commune members.In addition, there are also words such as "harvest" and "peace".

Food seals are usually kept by special personnel, and no one else can touch them.When food needs to be used, the people who keep the food, the accountant, and the food seal must be present at the same time.

In addition, the custodians have to check the food stamps every day. If there is any abnormality, they must notify the team to check.

Of course, these designs are beautiful, but there are problems in reality.At least when Chunshang's second team used the food reserves, it didn't alarm too many people.

Wang Lianshun's eyes lit up, and he replied, "That's fine, let's do it before it's too late, just tonight."

Knowing that the food distribution will be done again, the members of the second team who stayed at home suddenly became excited.No matter what, it is always good to have food points.

Not long after dinner, a hundred or ten people had already gathered in front of the warehouse, but they were basically women, the elderly and children.

Liu Xiangyang also came to the scene. After all, it was about the rations of the educated youths next year, so he didn't dare to be careless.

But when the food is distributed next time, it can only be temporarily stored in the team like last time.

Wang Lianshun and Wang Fugui stood in front of the warehouse, with two wind lanterns hanging beside them.

They briefly said a few words, counted their names, and confirmed that there were people from each family, and then officially began to distribute food.

Wang Manyin originally thought that this time, like the previous few times, the large steelyard in the team would be used when distributing food.

Unexpectedly, Wang Lianshun took out the trapezoidal wooden bucket and wooden sheng from the warehouse.

It was the first time he saw such a distribution of food in the team, and he was stunned.
