Chapter 368 Era - There is a time-traveling girl next door 19
The days passed one by one, and Panshui Village continued to "cleverly maneuver" in this wave of steelmaking.
It's also quite lively here in Kyoto. Various units are building blast furnaces as if in a competition, and even schools are no exception.
However, no matter which unit or school, without exception, all the people who were trained were iron pancakes.
Since entering college, Li Dandan has submitted articles to newspapers one after another, and many of her articles have been published. She has been recognized by both her teachers and the newspapers.
Taking advantage of the steelmaking boom, the school assigned Li Dandan a task, asking her to write some stories and articles about the school's steelmaking period.
He also hinted to her to go out of the school gate and check out other schools in Kyoto, especially Huaqing University across the street.
Kyoto University failed to produce steel, but Huaqing University did. If it did, where would Kyoto University's reputation be? Wouldn't it make Kyoto University seem not so good?
He also hinted to Li Dandan that if there were any interesting things that happened to Hua Qing during the steelmaking process, she could write about them.
He was also afraid that Li Dandan didn't understand what he meant, so he winked at her.
Li Dandan's eyes hurt from watching it.
The department head has a refined appearance, but now he has a sinister expression on his face. She was shocked!
Give me back the elegant uncle!
Monster, please put away your magical powers immediately!
What the department head meant was to write about the spiritual outlook of Peking University and then write about the embarrassing things that happened at Huaqing University as a comparison.
He is such an old and cultured man, but now he looks like a naughty child.
After Li Dandan received the task from the school to write a story about steelmaking, she began to wander around the school, looking for materials everywhere.
If you’ve seen enough of your own school, go to the school across the street.
No matter where you go in Kyoto at this time, the sky is filled with billowing black smoke, as if a demon king has passed by and used his magical powers.
Every night when I returned to the dormitory to wash up, even my nostrils and eyes were black.
Since Li Dandan received the imperial edict to write articles, she has submitted articles to various newspapers.
The newspaper also has the task of steelmaking, so there is less time to write articles.
Li Dandan ran all over Kyoto, writing articles about steelmaking in various units. It was like a timely rain for the newspaper, filling the gaps in their articles in one go.
These articles are not free to use, they all come with royalties, and Li Dandan has made a lot of money during this period.
This behavior did not stop until a report appeared in the newspapers stating that the country was very satisfied with the current steelmaking results.
Everyone went to work and attended classes as usual, and life returned to normal.
But as winter draws closer, everyone realizes that this year's heating supplies are really gone.
Not to mention coal, even the trees on the mountain have been cut down for steelmaking and are now bare.
I'm afraid there will be no fire this winter.
When Li Dandan was often out some time ago, she rented a small yard outside.
There are only two rooms in this yard. When you open the door, you will see a small yard two meters wide.
For Li Dandan, it was like a house tailor-made for her, just right for her to live alone.
She had thought of this before. Not only did steelmaking destroy most of the iron products, but firewood and coal were also almost gone.
If I continue to live in the school dormitory, I will definitely suffer from the cold.
Li Dandan has no plans to buy a house now.
She thought that she would not stay in Kyoto after graduation, and if she bought a house, she would have to rent it out.
It will take another 20 years for the special period to be over, which is not cost-effective.
It would be better to just rent a house.
The next few years will be difficult times. Living in this small courtyard will help me avoid the cold this winter, and it will be more convenient for me to eat during the three-year disaster.
The small courtyard that Li Dandan rented was near the school, making it very convenient for her to go to and from school.
After moving out of school, she took out some corn stalks and corn cobs from the space and burned them on the kang at night, which would keep the room warm all night long!
During the winter vacation, Li Dandan returned to the village and went to the canteen with everyone.
Although there is no food waste in the village, everyone is provided with a full meal. This is a bit far-fetched when you think about it carefully.
In the evening, Li Dandan came to Li Tiezhu and their room.
The old couple were sitting on the warm kang, discussing what to buy for the New Year.
As soon as he saw Li Dandan come in, he quickly asked her to get on the kang to warm up.
Li Dandan sat down on the kang and asked casually, "Grandma, if we ate as much food as we could at every meal, would it have been enough for the whole family to eat for a year?"
Zhao Jinhua was delighted when she heard this: "That's not enough! Every winter, we only eat two meals a day.
He said that he had no work to do in winter, so his appetite was poor and he ate less.
Actually, the reason is to save some food, otherwise the remaining food will not be enough to last for a year."
Li Tiezhu immediately caught on to something: "Dandan, have you heard some new news?"
Li Dandan: "I didn't get any news this time. But I was thinking, my family doesn't eat much, and we have to eat sparingly in the winter, so we're worried that there won't be enough food.
But there are so many big eaters in the cafeteria, eating to their heart's content every day, what will we do if there is not enough food in the end?"
Zhao Jinhua smiled and patted Li Dandan's head: "Silly child, the higher-ups will distribute food when the time comes.
Since the higher-ups have given the canteen such good policies, there must be a solution.
Our production is not good enough. Haven’t you seen that grain yields are high in many parts of the country this year?
When we know how to increase grain production in the future, we won’t have to worry about anything. By then, we’ll have more food than we can eat.”
Li Tiezhu pondered this further. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you suspect that those high-yield crops are fake?"
When these words came out, even Zhao Jinhua was stunned.
"That's impossible. It's already in the newspaper. How could it be fake? Newspapers don't lie."
Li Dandan said seriously, "Grandpa and grandma, you have been dealing with the land all your life. Have you ever heard of such a high grain yield?
Doesn't everything have to be a gradual process?
I hadn't heard any news before, but suddenly there was a high yield of grain. No matter how I thought about it, it seemed strange.
I even consulted a professor of agronomy before.
He just said that he was not capable enough to grow such high-yield crops, and said that he wanted to learn from those people.
Although this professor teaches in the academy, he also goes to the fields to farm every year. His farming experience is no less than that of us farmers.
Think about it carefully. With such a high yield per mu, how can so much grain grow in one mu of land? They will all be crowded together.
Farmers all know that if the seedlings are too dense, they need to be thinned out. With so much food crammed together, it would be strange if the yield could be high. We should be thankful if the yield doesn't decrease."
