More than 20 days later, Li Lanzhen's vermicelli factory had produced more than 800 jin of sweet potato vermicelli.
During these twenty days, the workers need to familiarize themselves with the operating procedures of each step and also work together to get to know each other.
Therefore, the production speed is relatively slow and the production volume is relatively low.
Li Lanzhen believes that as the workers become more skilled and each step of the production line works well together, production volume will definitely increase.
The first batch of vermicelli produced was delivered by Li Lanzhen to the Peach Blossom Spring Grand Canteen by horse-drawn carriage.
For lunch, I made a few dishes using glass noodles.
One is a cold dish made with tender wild vegetables and cooked vermicelli.
The second dish was pork, vermicelli, tofu, and Chinese cabbage stew.
A soup, a pot of pheasant soup, with tofu, vermicelli and bok choy in it.
The staple food remains wild vegetables, black flour, and cornbread.
The vermicelli factory kitchen was not cooking today.
Thirty-two people, young and old, followed Li Lanzhen to the dining hall for a meal.
It was their first time here, and they were taken aback by the lively scene in the dining hall as soon as they entered.
The younger children shyly hid next to their mothers.
Looking at the children in Peach Blossom Spring, each one confident, sunny, and cheerful, I was filled with envy.
Before long, Xiaoshe Niu Douhua came over with several children and took their hands.
"Come on, little brother, let's sit at the same table and have a meal together."
Grandma Lanzhen said, "Children should sit together with other children; it'll be lively."
The child whose hand was being held looked up at their mother or older sibling.
Seeing that they had given their permission, she happily followed Douhua and the others.
Xie Li and the others were initially a little uneasy when they arrived.
As servants, they naturally felt inferior, since these were all relatives and villagers of the master.
But everyone was treating them kindly.
Then I gradually relaxed.
Similarly, when it was mealtime, Xue Nizi's loud voice rang out, "Dinner's ready!"
Lunch was served.
Today, the children who helped in the kitchen each carried a bowl of food into the dining room and placed it on the table.
They were fast and very organized.
They wore smiles but remained silent, knowing that their hands were filled with food and that their spittle would land on them if they spoke.
It was Li Lanzhen who suggested that she go to work as a kitchen helper in the cafeteria.
She told Shanxing the solution and let them discuss and arrange the shifts themselves.
Each day, a few people are assigned to go into the kitchen to fetch food at mealtimes and then distribute it to each table.
The children were very happy with the job.
When it's your turn to be on duty, do it properly.
Both adults and children know that today we're going to eat a food called vermicelli.
As usual, he sat on the stool next to the table, chatting away with his friends.
But his eyes kept glancing at the doorway.
My ears were also listening at the door when I heard that heavenly voice—"Dinner's ready!"
Each person received a bowl of chicken and vermicelli soup, and there were two large bowls of vegetables on each table.
One bowl is a cold salad of wild vegetables and vermicelli, sour and spicy; the other bowl is a stew of pork, vermicelli, tofu, and Chinese cabbage.
Soon, the dining room fell silent.
All it made was the sound of slurping up the rice noodles.
The children ate happily, even humming a few hums.
When I put down my rice bowl and touched my round belly...
He then let out a long sigh.
"These glass noodles are so delicious!"
"Exactly, it tastes even better than noodles. With a gentle slurp, the rice noodles go right into my stomach. Hehehehe."
These are children sharing their feelings about eating rice noodles.
On the other side, the adults were also talking.
"Wow, Lanzhen's glass noodles are really good!"
"Exactly, it's also very chewy."
"It tastes even better than noodles, and it's also very filling."
The two officials from the Ministry of Revenue, Du Yanqing and Pang Pangzi, picked up their bowls and eagerly picked up a mouthful of vermicelli, ready to slurp it into their mouths.
Unexpectedly, when I picked it up and held it firmly, there were only two rice noodles left by the time he brought it to his mouth.
As you can see, this thing called vermicelli is incredibly smooth!
Take a bite, and you'll experience its chewy and bouncy texture!
The Crown Prince silently gave Li Lanzhen a thumbs up.
This food, called vermicelli, has a smooth, chewy, and resilient texture, and it's also very filling.
That's really good food!
He is very puzzled now: how did the individual sweet potatoes turn into these strands of vermicelli?
After the meal, the children on duty picked up all the bowls and chopsticks and put them in the kitchen to be washed.
Then all the children went to school.
Han Shunde shouted, "The village committee is having a meeting!"
Li Lanzhen stopped and asked Xie Li to drive the carriage back with the people from the sealing factory.
Han Shunde saw that everyone had sat down and then began to speak.
"In our village, all the grain that was supposed to be harvested has been harvested."
Moreover, the second crop of sweet potatoes and potatoes has already been planted in the ground.
There are two things I want to talk to you about at this meeting.
The first question is whether we can still grow a crop of grain based on the temperature in the Peach Blossom Spring Grand Canyon.
As for what to plant, let's talk about that now.
"Once we've decided what crops to plant, we can discuss the second thing."
Zhang Deshui spoke first, saying, "Based on the temperature in the Peach Blossom Spring Grand Canyon and the timing of snowfall in winter."
I think it would be better for us to grow corn.
Even if the temperature is too low and the corn stops growing, it doesn't grow into a mature plant.
The corn cobs can be broken off and eaten as tender corn, or they can be sold.
Corn stalks, when crushed, can be used as animal feed.
Han Dazhong quickly agreed, "Yes, I think Brother Zhang is right, and I also agree with planting corn."
This year, their cornfields, which cover more than 1,000 mu (approximately 67 hectares), have yielded a bumper harvest.
The corn stalks grew strong and tall, and some stalks even had two ears of corn attached to them.
One corn cob grows on one corn stalk, and the corn cobs are all very large and sturdy, with plump kernels and a high flour yield.
As everyone knows, every part of the corn plant is valuable.
Corn stalks can be used as fodder, and the thick corn roots, after the soil is removed, can be used as firewood in Liangshan Gansu.
Later, everyone agreed to plant another crop of corn.
"The second question is..." Han Shunde said, seeing that everyone agreed to plant a crop of corn.
Everyone looked at him, but no one could think of a second question to discuss.
"That's right, we now know that the entire Peach Blossom Spring Grand Canyon belongs to Li Lanzhen personally."
Therefore, all the produce in this paradise should belong to her personally.
We all settled in Lishu Village, but we live in this paradise.
We cannot distribute all the produce of Peach Blossom Spring to everyone according to the number of work points each person has earned.
Oh, and of course, there's autumn, when each of us has to pay taxes.
So today we'll discuss all the outputs and profits of Peach Blossom Spring.
What would be the most appropriate way to handle this?
