Chapter 281: Grain 1
Jiang Xiaoya, who had never worn good clothes or shoes since she was a child, was overjoyed and felt that she couldn't see enough.
"Sister Xiulan, the clothes are so beautiful and the shoes are so beautiful! Thank you, I like it very much!"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoya liked it, Zhao Xiulan also had a bright smile on the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile, "Just like Xiaoya!"
Zhao Xiulan asked the rest of the Jiang family to try on the clothes, and they all fit well.
The Jiang family members were so moved that they didn't know what to say.
"I also bought some wool threads, and I will knit a few sweaters for you. Wearing them inside to keep warm in winter will not be easy to be found." Zhao Xiulan added.
Facing Zhao Xiulan's heart, the Jiang family was naturally very moved.
Jiang Cheng even felt that the woman in front of him was someone worthy of his life!
At least in the first half of his life, he never met a better and kinder woman than Zhao Xiulan.
A few days later, each production team completed the task of delivering grain, and the Liuzhuang production team also prepared for the distribution of grain.
This summer harvest is the first time for the production team to distribute grain.
After the autumn harvest is over, the second grain distribution will not be carried out until before the New Year.
But this time, the food distribution is only half of the food.
As for the cash crops planted by the production team, if the production team can receive money according to the work points, they have to wait until the New Year's Day. The few task pigs raised in the production team, except those that are handed over to the state, have to be saved for the New Year to kill.
Before the distribution of grains this time, basically every household has already eaten up the grains, so they are waiting for the distribution of grains, and the grains they take are put into the pot.
In some families, the situation is more severe, and they have not eaten for several days.
Grain distribution is a very complicated process in this era.
The production team is divided according to this year's harvest and work points.
The annual ration standard for each farmer is three hundred and sixty catties, which is called "enough for three hundred and sixty-six".
The 360 catties of grain are based on leather grains. Even if it is leather food, I really don't have three hundred and sixty kilograms.
The peasants' distribution of sweet potatoes is four jin to one jin of grain, and the potatoes are six jin to one jin of grain.
In addition, because it is impossible to completely return the grains to the warehouse during the harvest, there must be some losses. For example, the bean frying clips will collapse the bean grains, and the corn will lose the cob. These grains lost in the summer harvest will also be deducted from the farmers' rations.
Generally, about ten kilograms of rations are deducted per person per year. In this way, each person actually receives about 320 catties of rations each year, and after deducting the processed bran, the finished grain is about 250 catties, and the daily ration of food per person is about 67 taels.
So so little food, plus no non-staple food. Starvation is the norm for farmers in this day and age. Most of the people are yellow-faced and skinny, and there are no obese people in the production team.
In this summer harvest, each member of the production team could receive almost 130 catties of finished grain.
Although the food is a little less, but tightening the belt and eating a little less, I can still live on.
The main thing is that we need food in winter. When spring begins, there will be some wild vegetables in the fields.
Wild vegetables are eaten together with food, which can make you hungry.
These days, there is no way to eat enough, the population is large and the food is scarce, so people starve to death.
Zhao Xiulan couldn't help but sigh that the 21st century is still the best, the motherland is prosperous and strong, and Comrade Yuan Longping has also cultivated hybrid rice, which has increased the grain output and made the people of the whole country have enough to eat.
The state also provides food subsidies, and the life of farmers is a hundred times better than it is now!
