Qiu Yantang directly opened the crab shell and removed the crab gills and crab heart.
We started eating right away. Huang Ling knew a lot about crabs and all the crabs he caught were female.
Only eat 400 grams of female crabs!
Qiuhua watched Qiu Yantang break the crab into two pieces, eat the crab roe on top first, and then use his teeth to squeeze the crab meat out and put it directly into her mouth.
As for the crab legs, she just cracked them with her teeth, put them in her mouth and sucked them, and then she could eat the delicious crab meat. She finished a crab in less than two minutes.
"My dear, this crab is for you to eat, it's like eating melon seeds..."
"Pumpkin seeds? It would be nice if I could eat clams!"
It is true that Qiu Yantang is a landlubber, but she also likes to eat seafood.
"My dear, you can't go there. The sea will eat you alive!"
Qiuhua knew that there was a beach more than ten kilometers away. People there fished to earn work points, and the fish they caught had to be handed in. Not only did many people die every year, but there were also few fish to catch.
"You forgot, I have water-repellent beads, but I really don't plan to go now, don't worry!"
I haven't made any plans now, but I will plan for it in the future. However, Qiu Yantang should just think about it in his mind so as not to make Qiu Hua worry.
When the time comes, you can catch a wave secretly and put some space to eat them slowly. It's perfect!
When Qiu Yantang arrived at the village office, he saw what everyone was discussing. "What's going on?"
Qiu Guangdong explained, "My dear, this winter looks like it will be quite cold. We just finished harvesting corn and are considering whether to rest for two days before heading back into the mountains to hunt and gather, or go in now."
"That's it. Let me do the math..."
Qiu Yantang calculated for a long time before speaking, "Great luck, go anytime."
"By the way, our little ancestor has another group of educated youth coming over tomorrow."
"Just handle it yourself. I don't care about anything other than matters concerning the interests of the village."
I'm too lazy to care about it. Besides, the weather is so cold now. Once they come over, they won't be able to work for long before they start hibernating.
"Guangdong, if anyone goes to town tomorrow, please check the food prices and buy some coarse grains."
Not starving to death and living a decent life are two different concepts.
Moreover, when the educated youth come, they may have to advance some of their food rations. During the winter, it will be difficult to go out and buy food.
It’s better to prepare first.
"My dear little ancestor, you are very thoughtful. This year's yellow rice harvest is also good. I will share it with everyone and make yellow rice balls and yellow flour cakes."
Qiu Yantang nodded. Anyway, they made money from selling mushrooms and bricks this year, so everyone could have a prosperous year and their lives would get better and better.
"Then tomorrow Jin San will go buy food and pick up the educated youth, and we will go up the mountain." Qiu Yantang said. Daji, they can go up the mountain by themselves, but Qiu Yantang knows that if she goes, the harvest will be better.
There are quite a few people in Qiujia Village, so there is not much left for each family. Moreover, after it is distributed, they will not be able to eat it for several days.
The quantity looks large, but in reality it is quite different. Qiujia Village still has little oil and water.
In fact, this is also Qiu Yantang’s idea. In fact, it is much better than other places.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, little ancestor. And Zhang Tiansheng from the cowshed, the weather has been cold lately. If he keeps working in the cowshed..."
Zhang Tiansheng is now like one of the earliest people who were sent down to the countryside. He works in the cowshed during the day and goes back to sleep at night. His life is busy and fulfilling. It is hard to say how many people can't even ask for it.
But now that the weather is cold, they basically won’t work for a whole day and will stay at home most of the time.
The warming measures were relatively poor. If he stayed outside all the time, he might freeze to death. After hearing Qiu Guangdong's words, Qiu Yantang also thought about it.
It's not to the point where they have to kill people. As for the other people in Qiu Village, they don't have the intention to harm anyone.
"He doesn't need to go to the cowshed anymore. You can send someone else to take turns. He doesn't need to go too many times a day, just two or three times. If it gets dirty, clean it up. It counts as five work points."
It's winter now, and the smell in the cowshed is not as bad as before. Besides, making Zhang Tiansheng stay there all day was mainly for punishment, not because there was really much work to do there.
Qiu Guangdong nodded. Zhang Tiansheng was disrespectful to the little ancestor, so he couldn't let him go, but he couldn't be killed either.
However, there is still a long way to go.
"Okay, little ancestor, I'll do as you say!"
The next morning, before daybreak, Jin San drove an ox cart to the town. There were a lot of bags on the cart. If you provide the bags yourself when buying grain, you can spend less money.
At that time, food had to be purchased from state-owned grain stores. Sorghum rice was the cheapest, at seven cents per pound, rhubarb rice was ten cents per pound, red beans were nine cents per pound, and kidney beans were eight cents per pound.
These all require coarse grain coupons, and Qiu Yantang had prepared for this. She had traded a lot of food coupons with Feng Sipo at that time, and this time she just gave them all to Jin San.
Buy more sorghum rice, mainly because it is cost-effective. Corn costs only 1.1 yuan per pound.
This is also why Qiu Yantang wanted to plant corn secretly.
Sorghum rice and rhubarb rice all have shells and don't taste good. This was also the staple food in the 1960s. Qiu Yantang also ate them, but she had to eat the kind with the shells removed.
Jin San bought all the food according to the food coupons without thinking. After he finished buying and loaded the car, he went to pick up the educated youth.
The old ox had a hard time pulling the cart full of grain, as it was quite old.
From a distance, I could see a dozen educated youth shivering there.
Jin San was stunned. He had just received the assignment list and only then realized that each village was assigned more than a dozen people.
He had noticed that the few people who had gone to the countryside before, except for the little ancestor, were unable to carry anything on their shoulders or hands.
It's pure nonsense to say that the educated youth went to the countryside to help with construction. It seems more like he is just idling away his time.
Look, here come fifteen more people who just want to get by.
"Come to the educated youth who went to Qiujia Village." Jin San shouted.
Everyone hurried over, and some people felt particularly curious when they saw the ox carts from Qiujia Village.
"Shall we go back by ox cart?" a girl with big eyes asked at this time.
Jin Sanke didn't care whether the man was good-looking or not, and said directly, "That's a nice idea. We can put the luggage in the car and walk back together."
The old ox in their village is much more important than these people. It only takes more than three hours to walk back, so it’s not a big problem.
"Ah?" Everyone felt deflated before they even started walking.
Jin San glanced at them. He was strong and sturdy, which made them feel very oppressive.
"I'll call the roll now. If it's your turn, just squeak."
