60s: I have a store

Chapter 170 Double Steamed Rice

The fastest growing thing on the riverbed is the rapeseed, which is already as long as a finger. It is estimated that it will be ready for picking in about a week. Everyone in Zhoujiazhuang is looking forward to it.

By the evening, all the roads in the village were finally paved and officially completed.

Just as the tractor driver was about to leave, the team leader asked someone to deliver five rice dumplings.

Master Chen said a few words of thanks and took the five dumplings home, not wanting to eat them.

He felt that the work he had done these days was worth it. He didn't have to pay for the oil, and he earned 2 yuan a day. That was not even counting the fact that Zhoujiazhuang would let him have a meal in the village every day at noon.

Now, I still got 5 rice dumplings.

There are exactly 5 people in his family.

Before leaving, Master Chen told the team leader that if he needed any help next time, he could come to him.

The villagers also gathered in the village canteen and started receiving rice dumplings.

At the school, the old branch secretary had sent someone there in advance. No one could let those kids starve, because everyone knew that the school was backed by Zhou Yimin.

"This zongzi is still very filling." Someone said with satisfaction after eating it.

"Of course! Do you think this is the stuff made by double distillation?"

"Are you sick? How can you compare double-steamed rice with this zongzi?"

Double-steamed rice is also a thing that was invented this year. It is said that it was invented by a teacher from Tsinghua University, and they even have a patent!
In view of the serious food shortage in our country, at the beginning of the year, the school set up a working group and went into the cafeteria to study the "method of increasing rice supply".

They invented bowl rice, pot rice, and plate rice, but these methods could only ensure that the rations reached people, but could not increase the volume of rice. So they went further and invented double-steamed rice, which was soon widely promoted throughout the country.

The so-called "double-steamed rice" means that after the rice is steamed, the lid must be closed tightly to prevent air from leaking out, and the fire must be turned up to allow the steam to brew the rice.

The steamed rice is much higher than the normal steamed rice, and the rice grains are large and transparent. Double steamed rice is very soft and does not need to be chewed. It feels fuller than single steamed rice.

In fact, double steamed rice is high in water content, so you will feel full quickly and hungry quickly. In fact, many people have edema and even died after eating double steamed rice.

After traveling through time for so long, Zhou Yimin has seen double-steamed rice, but has never eaten it.

Eating too much is bad for your health.

In fact, "grain consumption increment methods" similar to double-steamed rice emerged one after another during the Great Famine.

For example, last year, Heishan County Satellite Commune created a "corn consumption increment method" that first steamed, then ground, and then boiled corn. Even developed Shanghai has introduced an advanced cooking method aimed at increasing the "rice yield rate", raising the original rice yield rate of one catty of polished rice from 2 catties to 2 taels.

and many more.

"Hey! Which one do you want? Take it quickly." The person distributing the rice dumplings said unhappily.

Chow Tai Fook is still picky.

As we all know, there are different flavors of zongzi here, all mixed up. Among them, the one that everyone wants to eat the most is definitely the zongzi with meat.

So, this kind of behavior like Chow Tai Fook appeared, picking things up here and there.

After Chow Tai Fook was scolded, everyone became more obedient and only reached out to take the item they had chosen.

The villagers had the rare opportunity to eat delicious rice dumplings on a day other than the Dragon Boat Festival. After eating, some people couldn't help licking the rice dumpling leaves several times or even chewing them a few times.

One Zongzi is definitely not enough to fill you up, but you can only eat sweet potatoes next. After eating sweet potatoes and potatoes for more than a month, it would be a lie to say that you are not tired of them.

After eating, the old branch secretary said a few words to everyone. First, he congratulated the successful completion of the Zhoujiazhuang road paving and thanked everyone for their hard work. Secondly, he mentioned the idea of ​​building a reservoir.

He also specifically stated that this was Yimin's idea.

no way!
Now Yimin's words are more effective than those of the old Party branch secretary. If he made such a suggestion, many villagers would probably say that he had nothing to do after eating too much.

But almost no one opposed the suggestions put forward by Yimin, at most someone would ask a few questions about the reasons.

"You all know that Yimin is well-informed. His friends say that this drought will continue. It will be difficult to wait for rain. It depends on whether it snows in winter!

In addition, we all know that severe droughts are followed by severe floods.

Although this statement may not be accurate, we must be prepared. Therefore, I agree to build a reservoir, and we will start construction after the wheat is harvested. "The old party secretary said to everyone.

The captain looked at Zhou Yimin and said, "Yimin, say a few words to everyone."

Zhou Yimin was not afraid of the stage either. He stood in the middle of everyone and said, "On the one hand, it is to prevent flood disasters. In addition, building a reservoir has many benefits.

For example, to generate electricity, as long as the reservoir is built and there is water, I will find a way to get a generator back so that the village can use electricity."

He started to make promises to the villagers again.

The temptation of using electricity!

This concerns the life of every villager.

Zhou Yimin seriously considered that it might not be possible to apply for electricity in the short term. It would be better for the village to build a small hydropower station, which would be enough for Zhoujiazhuang to squander.

Sure enough, everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it.

Even residents in the center of the Red Star Commune did not have access to electricity, and electricity was almost exclusively enjoyed by city dwellers.

"Generate electricity? Yimin, is this reliable?" The team leader was stunned.

Zhou Yimin: "It's just a hydroelectric generator. I'll use some connections and the village will pay for a second-hand one."

The hydro-turbine generator is composed of main components such as rotor, stator, frame, thrust bearing, guide bearing, cooler, brake, etc. It is not very complicated, and their steel mills can produce ordinary low-end versions independently.

OK! With Zhou Yimin's words, everyone felt relieved.

For a moment, the villagers couldn't help but feel fascinated, thinking that they would be able to use electric lights in their own homes in the future.

"Not only that, the reservoir can also be used to raise fish and ducks in the future."

It is not possible to do it privately, as the policy does not allow it, but it is OK for the collective. All the "projects" that Zhou Yimin is doing in Zhoujiazhuang are now done in the name of the village collective, and he is not afraid of others making a fuss.

Zhou Yimin continued, "There is more! After the busy farming season, don't you have any production tasks? You can't earn work points, right? If we build a reservoir, the village will continue to calculate work points for everyone."

This statement once again touched the hearts of the villagers. This is the main source of income for the villagers!

At this time, the old branch secretary and the team leader also came out to express their opinions.

As long as you work for the village, work points will be counted.
