60s: I have a store

Chapter 373: Food Arrives at Shuangtian Village
The next day, work on building the greenhouse continued.

Since the trees had been processed, Zhou Zhiming directed some people to start placing the processed trees in the corresponding places. Since the preliminary work was very sufficient, the construction work went very smoothly.

Zhou Yimin reminded: "Zhiming, first dig two 15cm deep trenches along the edges of the tree feet on both sides of the greenhouse, one on each side. Carefully cover the film on the tree frame, bury the edge of the film in the trench, and tamp it with soil."

"Also, be careful not to scratch the film. If there is any damage, use tape to seal it. Plant a few trees upright at both ends of the greenhouse, cover them with film, and leave a space for a movable curtain to be used as a door and vent."

"Okay, Yimin, I'll pay attention." Zhou Zhiming
After saying that, he went to implement what Zhou Yimin had just said, making sure it was exactly the same as what Zhou Yimin said.

After two days of hard work, the second-level shed was finally built. As long as a fire was lit inside, the temperature could be reached to suit planting.

When the old branch secretary saw that the shed was built, he started to increase the temperature, so he asked people to bring a few charcoal stoves, and also installed a thermometer at the entrance. If the temperature was too high, he would ventilate and cool down.

If the temperature is low, you need to light a fire to add warmth.

Since there are no other openings in the entire greenhouse except the door, the carbon dioxide level inside is relatively high. So Zhou Yimin reminded the old branch secretary to tell the villagers not to come here to keep warm just to save some firewood.

If this happens, it can be easy to get into trouble. If a large amount of carbon dioxide is inhaled, it can be life-threatening.

When the old branch secretary heard Zhou Yimin's serious reminder, he realized the seriousness of the matter and had already told the villagers that they were not allowed to stay inside for a long time except to work.

Since it was a matter of life and death, the villagers understood and agreed immediately.

Now that the greenhouses have been built, it is time to deliver food to Shuangtian Village, otherwise Village Chief Liang might think that he has forgotten about it.

Zhou Yimin rode his bicycle towards Shuangtian Village. It was a little after six in the evening and it was just getting dark.

When we arrived near Shuangtian Village, we had to make some noise on purpose, otherwise it would be impossible for 3,500 kilograms of sweet potatoes to be transported here without any noise.

He also deliberately left some traces of a truck passing by on the snow.

Seeing that the performance was almost good, Zhou Yimin rode his bicycle to the entrance of Shuangtian Village.

As expected, there are security teams guarding the place.

There is no doubt that Zhou Yimin was stopped.

"Comrade, who are you?"

Zhou Yimin responded: "I am Zhou Yimin from Zhoujiazhuang. I am here to see Village Chief Liang. Please notify him for me."

When I heard Zhou Yimin's name, I suddenly remembered that the village chief had instructed that if a young man named Zhou Yimin came, he must not be neglected.

"I'll take you to see the village chief!"

Zhou Yimin didn't expect that he could get in so easily. He probably thought that Village Chief Liang had given him instructions!
"Okay, thank you for your help, comrade."

After saying that, Zhou Yimin took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes and handed it over.

Liang Tian didn't expect Zhou Yimin to be so generous and give him a whole pack of Daqianmen. You know, only cadres can afford Daqianmen cigarettes. He never thought that one day he would be able to smoke Daqianmen cigarettes.

He took Zhou Yimin to the home of Village Chief Liang with even greater enthusiasm.

It's dark now, everyone goes home to eat, make babies or sleep, there is no nightlife to speak of.

Soon they arrived at the home of Village Chief Liang and Liang Tian knocked on the door.

"Village chief, Zhou Yimin is here to see you."

When Village Chief Liang heard that it was Zhou Yimin, he didn't even bother to put on his clothes and hurried out to greet him.

Fortunately, the weather is cold now, so I can sleep with my clothes on. If it were summer, I would probably go out to greet him naked.

"Yimin, you came so late, is the food ready?"

Zhou Yimin replied: "Yes, the 3,500 kilograms of sweet potatoes are outside now, you can go and bring them back."

When Village Chief Liang and Liang Tian heard this extremely happy news, they almost jumped up.

"Okay, I'll arrange some people right now." "Liang Tian, ​​why are you still standing here? Go and notify the villagers to help move the sweet potatoes!"

Otherwise, it would take three or five people no idea when to move more than 3,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes.

Liang Tian didn't expect to be scolded for eating a melon here, so he ran to inform the villagers.

"Wait a minute, pull up all the ox carts and donkey carts in the village." Village chief Liang remembered and spoke again.

"understood."

Liang Tian agreed and went to inform other villagers.

Village Chief Liang called Zhou Yimin in and asked him to sit down: "It's so cold, Yimin, come in and sit down for a while!"

After Zhou Yimin followed him in, he found Village Chief Liang’s child walking out of the room rubbing his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhou Yimin reached into his pocket, took out a handful of candy and handed it to the child.

When Village Chief Liang saw this, he quickly stopped him and said, "Yimin, this is too precious."

Now we can’t even get enough food, how can we have money to buy candy? And candy tickets are so precious.

When the child saw his father trying to stop him, he didn't dare to reach out to take the candy that Zhou Yimin handed over to him and could only watch.

"Village Chief Liang, this is for the child, not for you." Zhou Yimin had no choice but to speak out.

After hearing this, Village Chief Liang did not continue to stop him: "Why don't you thank your brother!"

The child was very happy to hear his father's permission. After taking the candy, he quickly thanked his father: "Thank you, brother!"

I couldn't wait to open one and taste it. When I put the candy in my mouth, I couldn't help but squint my eyes.

After sitting for more than ten minutes, Liang Tian came over.

"Village chief, the villagers have been notified and can set off at any time."

Village chief Liang stood up immediately.

First, I took Zhou Yimin to get 100 kilograms of bacon and helped tie it on the back seat of the bicycle.

Zhou Yimin walked in front and led the villagers of Shuangtian Village to the place where the sweet potatoes had just been put down.

Soon we saw sweet potatoes all over the ground, and everyone's eyes were wide open. This was the first time we saw so many sweet potatoes this year.

"Village Chief Liang, please weigh yourself. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

"It's getting late now."

Zhou Yimin interrupted Village Chief Liang’s excitement.

"No need to weigh me, Yimin, I believe you." Village Chief Liang said.

If you want to have a good relationship with Zhou Yimin, you must trust Zhou Yimin, otherwise there will be no way to cooperate.

"Okay, then Village Chief Liang, I will go back first and not disturb you from moving."

Zhou Yimin left after saying this.

Just after Zhou Yimin left, a villager asked, "Village head, are we really not going to weigh it? What if there is something missing?"

It would be fine if it was a little less, but if it was a few dozen kilograms less, it would be a big loss.

"No need to say, no need to weigh, there are enough for 3,500 kilograms of sweet potatoes here." Village Chief Liang said firmly.

The villagers had no choice but to listen to the village chief, not weigh them, and start transporting the sweet potatoes back.
