Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is already April 15th.
This was the day Jia Dongsheng and Li Huaide decided to go to work at the steel mill.
Jia Dongsheng has not been idle at home these days. Relying on the connections given to him by the old Chinese medicine doctor, he established a relationship with the grain store and got some grain to store in the homestay.
The storage was not that much. After all, the grain in the grain store was not that abundant during that period.
Two hundred kilograms of rice and white flour, plus five hundred kilograms of corn flour, seemed like a lot, but in fact, in that era, the monthly ration of ordinary workers was more than thirty kilograms.
A light labor worker weighs about 31 or 32 kilograms, while a heavy labor worker weighs about 36 or 37 kilograms.
Five hundred kilograms of corn flour is just enough for one worker in a year.
As for the five members of the Jia family, Xiao was still young and Banggeng was still growing. When they were old enough to eat, 500 kilograms of corn flour and 400 kilograms of fine grains were probably the amount for the Jia family in a year.
Therefore, Jia Dongsheng made an agreement with others to help get some food next month.
After traveling through time, at least you should make sure that you and your family don’t go hungry!
In addition to storing food, Jia Dongsheng also made several trips to the mountains surrounding Sijiu City.
There are quite a lot of pheasants and rabbits these days. Although they are smaller in weight than domestic chickens and rabbits, each one weighs more than two or three kilograms. It's not that all pheasants and rabbits are so heavy, but Jia Dongsheng picks the big ones.
In addition, dozens of snakes were caught. Although these snakes have a lot of parasites, as long as they are boiled over high heat and made into snake soup, they are very tonic.
Of course, it is best to wait until after marriage to stew snake meat, otherwise the heat will be too great and unbearable.
What surprised Jia Dongsheng the most was that there were quite a few large prey in the mountains.
Fifteen wild boars were caught. It wasn't because there were too many wild boars, but because wild boars are social animals. Each litter has three or five wild boars, including big and small ones. Jia Dongsheng selected those that weighed more than 150 kilograms. He didn't want to keep the small ones, as they would grow taller.
In addition to wild boars, Jia Dongsheng also got two tigers and kept them in the homestay.
No wonder when Jia Dongsheng was chatting in the kitchen in his previous life, he heard that the tiger-hunting team in the 1960s killed hundreds of tigers in a few years. There were so many of these things in that era.
However, there are really no tigers outside the mountains. Jia Dongsheng went deep into the mountains and got two tigers.
As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain, unless one is male and the other is female.
What Jia Dongsheng got were two tigers, a male and a female. It was a pity that there were no cubs, otherwise he would have wiped out the entire litter.
Looking at the tiger's tendon meat, Jia Dongsheng wanted to kill one to taste the meat, but he controlled his thoughts. After all, he had already entered the homestay space, so a little time wouldn't matter.
After several trips to the mountains, Jia Dongsheng gained a lot that far exceeded his imagination, making him very excited.
There was no other way. There were tigers, wild boars, not to mention rabbits and pheasants. There was so much meat, enough to eat for two years and easily get through the three years of famine.
With all his worries gone, he rode his bicycle early in the morning on the 15th and headed straight to the steel mill.
"Dongsheng, do you want me to take you to the kitchen to see the canteen director?"
Because it was Jia Dongsheng's first day at work, Sha Zhu was kind-hearted and wanted to help Jia Dongsheng get familiar with the canteen work and the factory environment.
Although Jia Dongsheng felt that Sha Zhu was trying to please him, he did not object. After all, it was a good thing to have an acquaintance to help him get familiar with the environment.
"No need for now. I have to go find Director Li first. I'll come find you later." Jia Dongsheng couldn't take Sha Zhu to find Li Huaide, so he could only send him away first.
"That's fine. Come find me later. Our factory is quite big. I'll show you around."
"Okay, thank you, silly."
"Hey, you're so polite."
Seeing Sha Zhu enter the steel rolling mill first, Jia Dongsheng pushed his bicycle to the gate.
"Comrade, why aren't you wearing work clothes?"
The security department of state-owned factories in this era are all tough guys. They maintain order in the factory and local public security. If they are dragged to the battlefield, they can fight the enemy.
Pistols, rifles, machine guns, and even cannons. The security department is equipped with guns, which is a feature of this era.
The security department guards the gate and uses the work clothes and labels to distinguish whether the people are factory workers or not.
"Hello, I'm here to report today." Jia Dongsheng replied.
"check in?"
The security officer frowned: "Do you have a letter of introduction?"
"No."
Jia Dongsheng shook his head: "Comrade, could you please inform Deputy Director Li Huaide?"
"Okay, wait a moment."
The security department in that era did not have a direct phone line to the factory director's office, so they could only run into the factory on foot.
Jia Dongsheng didn't have to wait too long, Li Huaide came over with the security personnel.
"Haha, brother Dongsheng, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
As soon as they met, Li Huaide burst into laughter.
"Director Li, I'm here to report."
Although Li Huaide expressed his enthusiasm, Jia Dongsheng would not be ignorant of the taste. Although he did not like the intrigue in the kitchen in his previous life, he was able to learn something from each chef, so he was not really ignorant of the ways of the world.
He understands, but he doesn't like it.
So, in response to Li Huaide's enthusiastic greeting, he remained rational and called him Director Li, not Brother Li in front of outsiders.
