Chapter 12 State Food
The five dishes are extremely rich, and the Chinese New Year is at this level.
Stewed with old hens with yellow roots, steamed pork cubes with sauce, white radish, stir-fried cabbage, and a plate of old kimchi.
At this time, the pigs were super thin, and it was difficult to exceed 110 kilograms in the past year. The standard for purchasing fat pigs at the food station was 110 kilograms. If you lack this weight, you would not charge them at all. In the later generations, you would have to use feed to fatten them in two months.
The reason for this is that the pig breeds are too poor nowadays, and the second is that the pigs eat too poorly. Every meal is grass cut from the hillside, and only the pigs in the production team can eat some specially grown vegetables.
Maybe he can write an article on the pig breed, and this thought is really feasible, but first he has to have the opportunity to go to the provincial capital.
While thinking, chopsticks kept picking up a piece of steamed soy sauce meat. The fatty layer was less than five millimeters and there was almost no fat. If this kind of meat was placed thirty years later, it would immediately remind people of clenbuterol, but what I needed in this era was fatty meat.
Because the meat is too thin, it will shrink when fried and waste oil. Therefore, villagers will choose to stew or steam it. This way, the meat will not only not decrease, but will also swell slightly. After eating the meat, you can also drink oil and water.
"Well, it's delicious, so delicious!" Fang Dajun shouted as soon as the meat was put in his mouth. The meat was steamed more delicious than the sauce-flavored elbow he had eaten. The quality of pork is too domineering. In addition to the pig being raised at home, the food eaten by pigs is worse than that of wild boars. In contrast, the quality of meat is almost on the same level as that of wild boars.
Because domestic pigs have been castrated and have less fishy smell, it will be even more delicious. This kind of meat is sold for thirty or forty yuan per pound in the later generations, but people may rush to buy it, but now it only costs 70 cents.
"If you have some delicious food, eat more. Mom left you a big bowl, and there will be some tomorrow!" Mom said happily.
"Well, mom, you eat too!" Fang Dajun said and then put a thin layer of fat into his mother's bowl. People at this time liked to eat fat, because they lacked oil and water, but lean meat did not like it. If the meat on the market was too thin, it would be difficult to sell. Moreover, the price of fat meat was a little higher than lean meat, and it was also a hot item. As for ribs, no one was interested in it, which was completely contrary to later generations.
The rice is cooked by mixing rice and corn. Corn is a good thing as coarse grains. Unfortunately, what people nowadays need is pure rice.
Fang Dajun ate a big bowl of bowls, but he was not full yet. This was twice as much as he had before time travel. Now his body is too TMD to eat.
After everyone finished their meal, they found that there were still many dishes left. It seemed that their family members were banned from eating, and they didn't let go of it. Even the two sisters were very sensible. Seeing this, he could only express helplessness. The environment determined the living standards and habits.
It is naturally a woman's job to clean up the dishes after the meal. He and his father were comfortable leaning on the chair and chatting, waiting for the washing water to be brought over. This is completely the treatment of the old man.
"Old man, I want to study veterinary medicine. What do you think?" This is the result of his repeated measurements. In the village, blacksmiths, carpenters, and bricklayers are technical jobs, but these technical jobs are available in every brigade. The only one who can grasp the lifeline of the commune is the veterinary medicine.
Breeding and planting are the foundation of agricultural production. Everyone can plant it. This is to grow grain, because it has to be purchased every year, and even if the land is divided, there is no surplus grain at home. In this way, breeding becomes the focus of wealth creation. As long as it is breeding, domestic animals may get sick and cannot do without veterinary medicine.
Let me put it this way, the status of a veterinarian at this time was higher than that of a school teacher and was very respected by the villagers.
He wants to be famous now, first, to create and invent more advanced labor tools, which is to grasp the key to planting. If he can still catch the breeding, then the timely rain in the commune will be the one who will dare to touch him at that time, then he will have to ask the villagers of the nine villages and 18 villages to agree!
"Veter! My kid, you have this idea and the old man is happy, but now it is different from before. In the past, the veterinarian had no salary, and he had to flip the pig pen and go into the cow pen. He had to get feces on his legs every day, which was a dirty job. When the commune was training veterinarians, no one was willing to go. Your second master was a junior high school student at that time and was a knowledgeable person. He originally arranged to be a teacher, but because your second master was flimsy and could not speak on the stage, he finally had no choice but to study veterinarians. Who would have thought that veterinarians are so popular now?
Your second master now has a monthly salary of 5.8 yuan. Including the errands he earns, he can earn ten yuan a month. He can also eat boiled eggs that everyone receives every day, and his household registration has also been transferred to the unit. He is a person who eats national grain, and is the only one in our commune. It is difficult for you to study veterinary now!" Fang Donghua sighed and said, in fact, there is still something I haven't finished. The commune asked him if he would like to study veterinary, but he didn't like it. Now he regrets it so much that his intestines are blue.
Fang Dajun smiled and said, "Old man, don't worry. As long as the threshing machine is completed, the commune will definitely reward you. I will propose to learn veterinary medicine. Now everyone feeds few livestock, and the second master can be busy with it. But in the future, there will be more livestock, and a veterinarian will not be enough." This is also the truth. Now there are seven production brigades in the commune, and there are 800 households, and a veterinarian cannot take care of them at all.
There is another reason for him to be a veterinarian, that is, he had a colleague in the factory. His family built a building in the 1980s, and his father made money as a veterinarian. Once the commune disintegrates, the villagers will crazily raise livestock. Just selling livestock can make the veterinarian profit. According to the colleague, you can earn three or four hundred yuan a month. What is this concept in rural areas in the 1980s? It is so fat that it is so oily. It is the only one.
However, veterinarians were only very glorious in the 1980s. As soon as they entered the 1990s, meat food became rich and the country improved the taxation process, so veterinarians gradually became tragic.
But he just used veterinary to seek fame. In addition, this profession was also a rocket in the township after he entered the countryside. He used this identity to corrupt a large number of cadres who were not resistant to money. As long as most of the cadres were not clean, he would be safe no matter what he did.
"Okay, if we really succeed, our family will be better in the future. If you eat national food, you can find a wife with better family conditions." Fang Donghua said happily.
In rural areas, it is a glorious thing to be able to get a fixed salary. It is called eating "national grain", but in fact it means eating "supply grain". This is also the lifelong pursuit of many villagers and their expectations for their descendants.
"Old man, there is another thing I want to tell you. If I become a veterinarian and get a salary, I plan to support my second sister to go to college!" Fang Dajun said his ultimate goal. Being a veterinarian is just a means, and letting my second sister go to college may also be a means, but more of it is to let his sister live the life she wants.
"Let Swallow take the college entrance exam?" Fang Donghua was stunned. He really didn't expect his son to have such an idea.
"Yes, I see that my second sister has been reading every day after she has been idle in the past few years. She has not been admitted to high school before. Old man, just support her to go to a cram school for one year. If she can get into college, let her study, and I will support her in the future. If she fails to pass the exam, our family will be worthy of her." Fang Dajun said carefully. His eloquence is actually very good. He always wakes up when talking. The key point will be revealed as soon as the atmosphere arrives. Generally, the success rate is very high. He got full marks in the communication and speeches of electives in college.
During the two years of working on the coast, although I didn’t do well, I also learned a lot. It was a precious life wealth, and it was the same in the factory!
Fang Donghua did not respond immediately, but wrapped the leaves and cigarettes. The tobacco he planted in the field behind the house was dried and then swept. The force was very strong, and only the old farmer who did heavy work could withstand it.
Soon the room became smoky, which aroused Fang Dajun's addiction to smoking. However, considering his current physiological age, he could still smoke a few years later. Otherwise, it would affect the combat effectiveness of the bed, which would be a lifelong tragedy!
"Old man, military army, are here to wash your face!" The second sister came with a wooden basin, and then quickly washed the handkerchief and handed it to the old man. When the old man washed, she had to serve her brother to wash her face.
When Fang Dajun took the veil of drying water, he suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction from a big man. Such an old man was treated so easily that it was addictive. Otherwise, I would rather keep my second sister at home. From simple to extravagant, it would be difficult to go from extravagant!
"Swallow, your brother is willing to support you in college, and the old man agrees. If you live a good life in the future, don't forget to take care of your brother!" Fang Donghua finally gave in.
Fang Yan was completely stunned when she heard this. Unexpectedly, what her brother said was true. He really told the old man about studying. The old man really agreed and tears couldn't stop flowing out.
I saw my younger brother suddenly make a face and then pointed at her feet, which meant that she was going to wash her feet. When I saw this, I burst into tears and laughed!
