Chapter 475 What is it like to be their friend
In addition to two large bowls of rice mixed with oil residue, each person was also given a plump boiled corn.
Han Ying discovered that most of the soldiers hid the corn and did not eat it, including the Erhua brothers.
Zhuang Xinghe laughed and said he would save it for later consumption before going to bed.
There is a lack of oil and water on weekdays, so I get hungry very quickly after eating.
Before going to bed at night, the whole dormitory would sing the Empty City Strategy.
I just ate two large bowls of greasy rice, and of course I could have another head of corn, but there’s no need to waste it.
Therefore, it is better to heat it up in water before going to bed at night and then eat it, so that you don’t have to fall asleep with the empty city plan tonight.
Han Ying felt a little sad after hearing this.
She couldn't control all the soldiers in the base, but since Liu Hefeng's company followed her and Lu Yuan, at least their lives would be better in the next few years.
After finishing their meal, the soldiers went back to patrol.
The other dozen people went to the farm's conference room for a brief meeting.
No one mentioned the people who were fired today and the positions that were vacated.
All they talked about was tomorrow's rush to harvest grain.
The entire farm is divided into 6 areas. Except for the greenhouse and experimental fields, the other 4 areas have crops that need to be harvested.
New tomato seeds are limited, so the number planted is minimal.
These ripe tomatoes are basically picked, chopped and sent to the mall every day, so the tomato fields in area B are excluded from tomorrow's harvest competition.
More than 100 acres of the 250 acres of sweet potatoes in Area A are ready to be harvested.
Of the 400 acres of potatoes in Area C, approximately 300 acres are ready for harvest.
The 200 acres of corn in area D were planted at the same time, so all of them need to be harvested.
After the grains are harvested, the soil needs to be turned over again and the seedlings that have been grown need to be replanted.
The task is actually quite heavy, but fortunately, it seems that everyone is full of fighting spirit today, so there should be no problem.
Taking out maps of every area of the farm, Li Ping and the person in charge of each area clearly marked which fields needed to be harvested.
Then we started to subdivide the land, dividing it into the field that each team was responsible for.
Excluding the people in the tofu workshop and the ranch, there are nearly 3,000 people in the entire farm who can participate in the harvesting competition.
That means it can be divided into about 200 groups.
It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when all the fields that needed to be harvested and planted were divided up and the slips for tomorrow's drawing were made.
The farm was handed over to Liu Hefeng and his soldiers at night, while Han Ying and Lu Yuan drove back to Hongmei Village.
It was already twelve o'clock when I got home. It was too late and everyone was asleep.
So Lu Yuan only sent a message to Lei Minghu, saying that there would be a harvesting competition on the farm tomorrow, and they were short of a few people to form 200 groups, and there would be rewards for winning.
If they are interested in participating, everyone can go to the farm together at 8:30 tomorrow.
After putting down their phones, the two were about to go to bed, but unexpectedly they received a message from Lei Minghu saying that they would go together the next day.
The extreme cold is too cold, and the quilt on the kang is warm, so everyone gets up a little later.
However, there was something to do at the farm today, so Han Ying and her family as well as the two families downstairs all got up early in the morning.
By the time we finished everything from eating to shoveling snow, it was not yet half past eight.
Everyone has to go out, and there is no one to look after them.
Originally, Lei Minghu said he would stay and look after the house, but Lu Yuan refused.
Lu Yuan found Lei Gang and asked them to help watch the house while he was shoveling snow nearby and to prevent others from getting close.
The reward was 3 kilograms of potatoes.
Lei Gang said he had no problem with the remuneration.
Their people often walk back and forth in this area and take a look.
It would be worth it even if we specially asked someone to stand guard upstairs and watch over this place. After all, it would cost 8 points to buy one pound of potatoes even if we went to the base.
3 kilograms is equivalent to 24 points, which is more than what you can earn in a day working outside.
In fact, even without any compensation, Lei Gang was willing to help them.
Because last night the news that the farm was privatized and contracted to Han Ying and Lu Yuan had spread throughout the entire Penglai base.
When Lei Gang heard the news, he was so shocked that he stood there in a daze, because these two people were his long-term customers.
Therefore, Lei Gang was willing to make friends with these two people. As long as he had good relations with them, would he still be afraid of having no food or meat to eat in the future?
The RV headed towards the farm, and at the same time, many people at the Penglai base hurriedly entered the underground passage leading to the farm.
The harvesting competition will begin today, and they are already gearing up and can't wait to get into the battle.
Li Ping estimates that it will take three days to harvest all the grain that has matured this time.
There are agricultural machinery on the farm, but gasoline and diesel are too precious, so use them as little as possible.
Therefore, try not to use agricultural machinery for work that can be done manually.
Most agricultural machinery is used for plowing the land, because plowing the land requires a lot of manpower and time.
As for harvesting grain, as long as it is not in a hurry, it is usually harvested manually.
To put it bluntly, labor is the cheapest nowadays and is not as valuable as gasoline and diesel.
This was the first time that Lei Minghu and Qin Qinghai's families came to the farm.
When they arrived at the farm gate, both families leaned against the windows of the RV and looked at the farm gate which was five or six meters high.
Lu Yuan drove the RV directly into the farm today and finally parked it not far from Warehouse No. 3.
Many people have come to the farm early to prepare for the lottery.
When I saw the RV, my eyes were full of envy, and when I saw so many people getting off the RV, my envy became even greater.
They knew that this RV belonged to Owner Han and Owner Lu, so the others who got off the RV must be their friends.
It would be great if I could be their friend.
I don’t know what it would be like to be their friend?
A lot of people have gathered in Warehouse No. 3 and are drawing lots.
After drawing lots, they stood in the corresponding group. After everyone arrived and the captain was selected, the rush to harvest food officially began.
The weather is too cold, so the farm starts work at 9 am and ends work at 5 pm.
Lu Yuan asked Lei Minghu and the others to come over not because he really wanted them to participate in the competition.
I just want them to come over and get familiar with the farm first, and then decide what position they want to work in.
But it's not impossible if they want to participate.
Lu Yuan told Lei Minghu and the others the general situation, and both families expressed their willingness to participate.
Such an activity is too luxurious in the end times. Even if it's not for the rewards, you still want to join in the fun.
