Chapter 146 Paying Public Grain
Of course, it is impossible to divide the food.
How can we distribute grain first when we haven’t paid the public grain tax yet?
Xiao Dashan called everyone to a meeting to discuss the issue of paying public grain.
"It's sunny now, and it's time for us to go to the public office to collect the public grain. Each family will send two strong laborers to go with me to pay the public grain. The rest of you should find the grain bags at home and dry them out to dry. When we come back, we will open the warehouse and distribute the grain."
Hearing the last sentence, Su Ruanruan was also a little excited.
She has been working for more than two months and has earned full work points, so she can at least get dozens of kilograms of food.
Although there was plenty of food in the treasure space, it was different from what she got after her hard work, at least it felt different.
Xiao Chengjin planned to go to the commune with them to pay the public grain tax. After seeing Su Runruan, he came over and asked her if she wanted to go.
Su Ruanruan thought about it and agreed.
I've been very busy lately, and I go to and from work almost every day.
Now that she has the chance to go out, of course she is willing to do so.
After saying something to Grandma Chen, Su Runrun and Xiao Chengjin followed everyone to the granary.
There were many carts in the brigade, and each cart was loaded to the brigade. All the public grain could be transported to the commune in one trip.
Yesterday's rainstorm was very heavy and there was plenty of rain, but the drought had lasted too long before that and the roads were dry and cracked.
Even after a heavy rain, there wasn't much water left on the road.
So it was not too difficult for the people from the Third Production Brigade to walk on the road.
As she walked, Su Ruanruan heard a sound behind her.
Turning around, I saw a group of people following me from a distance. They were also pushing carts that were fully loaded with things.
Seeing this, Su Runrun understood instantly that it must be the people from the Second Production Brigade who were going to the public to collect the public grain.
Paying public grain was a big deal, and no one wanted to waste time on the road. We walked quickly and arrived in the town in less than half an hour.
In all her past and present lives, this was the first time that Su Ruanruan came to the grain station to pay her public grain tax, so she was inevitably curious about everything she saw.
The entrance of the grain station was deserted and there were not many people.
It was only after Xiao Dashan went into the house and stayed for a while that someone followed Xiao Dashan out.
The man followed Xiao Dashan to a cart, untied a bag of grain, reached in and grabbed a handful, looked at it carefully, picked up a grain and put it in his mouth to chew, then nodded with satisfaction, "The grain is all dry! Not bad!"
The next step is to weigh the grain.
All the food was taken off the cart, the bags were opened and poured into the large barrel on the scale.
After weighing, put it into bags at the grain station.
Although this process is a bit troublesome, it also ensures that there are no problems with the collection of public grain.
An hour later, all the public grain of the Third Production Brigade was delivered.
After Xiao Dashan and his men left with the cart, the captain of the second production team led his men to pay the public grain tax.
Everyone working at the grain station had smiles on their faces, and their smiles were particularly sincere and bright.
Those who worked at the grain station naturally knew that the autumn harvest would begin soon, but the autumn harvest started on a different day every year, and they were also worried that the heavy rain would wash away the grain.
But early in the morning, they saw people from the Third Production Brigade and the Second Production Brigade coming to pay their grain tax, and it was all new grain that had been dried in the sun, so they felt relieved.
Although this rain came at a wrong time, fortunately it did not affect the autumn harvest and it also alleviated the drought, which is also good.
