Chapter 175 Food Distribution
After that, no one talked about the issue of food for each person anymore.
Chen Guoqing asked Zheng Jianmin, "Zheng Zhiqing, the rations we were given are definitely not enough to eat.
Just now I said that I can buy low-priced grain from the village without tickets. What is the method of buying it?"
“It’s one or two cents lower than the price at the grain station, and no tickets are required, but the quantity is limited.
You also know that there are many people in the village, so the villagers have to reserve some grain every year to deal with possible natural disasters and man-made disasters in the coming year, and they dare not sell all of it.
If it is still not enough, you can privately exchange it with villagers who have more food than you need." Zheng Jianmin explained.
Zhou Wenbing added, "If you don't slack off this year and earn a lot of work points, in addition to the per capita rations, you can also get some work-point rations, which is enough for you to eat.
But if we want to supplement our family, we need to buy more food from the village or villagers.”
Zhou Wenbing earned the most work points among all the educated youth.
Zhang Pingan asked him curiously, "Zhou Zhiqing, have you ever estimated how much food you can get this time?"
"If calculated according to last year's standards, it would be about 400 kilograms." Zhou Wenbing did not hide anything and answered directly.
Zhang Pingan exclaimed, “That’s really a lot.
The current food supply standard for urban residents is 30 kilograms per month for adult men. Your consumption exceeds the standard.
Looks like you'll have plenty to eat next year."
Tang Qiangjun, who was standing behind him, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Zhang Pingan say this.
How could Zhou Wenbing eat? Except during the autumn harvest, when he could have a full meal, he would only eat until he was 70% full at other times, saving food to send back home.
If he didn't have to support his family, he wouldn't have to work so hard.
Zhou Wenbing smiled bitterly and did not hide anything, "Zhang Zhiqing, my situation is different from yours.
There are many children in my family, and many of them are underage brothers and sisters. My father's salary alone is not enough to support the entire family.
So I had to earn more work points and get more food to send back to supplement my family's income.
The food I was given was far from enough, and I had to buy more from the team and the villagers."
After hearing this, Zhang Ping'an was speechless and didn't know what to say.
I wanted to apologize, but it seemed inappropriate to apologize in this situation.
After a long while, he could only hesitantly say, "It will be fine in the future, when your sister-in-law grows up a little and can earn money on her own.
You have a big family, so maybe you will live better than others in the future."
"Yes, it will be better in the future, it will definitely be." Zhou Wenbing talked to himself, as if trying to convince himself.
Not long after we started queuing, all the team leaders came over.
The captain held a loud speaker and shouted in front, "I know everyone is anxious to distribute the food, so I won't say much.
After the thaw this year, our production team reclaimed some wasteland and planted more land. In addition, with the increase in grain production this year, our village harvested more grain.
The per capita ration for our production team this year is 243 kilograms, and the standard work points for distributing the per capita ration is 362.
This year, each work point in the team is 1.6 cents.
Those who can do arithmetic can estimate for themselves how much grain their family will get and roughly how much compensation they will need, and then check with Accountant Li to see if there are any mistakes in the calculations.
If you don't know how to calculate, and you trust the team leader that he won't make a mistake, then just follow the village's calculation. If you don't believe it, then ask someone who knows how to calculate to help you.
Does anyone have any questions? If not, we will prepare to distribute the food."
After hearing this, Liu Jingxue quickly stepped out and said, "Captain, I have a question."
When the captain saw that it was Liu Jingxue, he knew that she was not a fool, so he asked, "Liu Zhiqing, do you have any questions?"
"Captain, we five new educated youth have only been working for 20 days, and it is impossible for us to reach the work point standard for per capita rations.
Of course, my situation is special, and now that I'm satisfied, I'll follow our rules.
But what should they do with the other four educated youth?
If they were asked to use money to make up for the work points, it would cost a lot of money, which would be a bit difficult for them." Liu Jingxue said directly.
After hearing this, the captain said, "The brigade cadres have already discussed this matter, and you guys are indeed a little late.
Except for Liu Zhiqing who met the work point standard and followed the rules, the other new Zhiqing did not follow the rules this year. "
When Feng Chunyan heard this, she thought the brigade would not give her any food, so she quickly said, "Captain, how are we going to get food for next year? You can't let us starve."
"Don't worry, Feng Zhiqing. Wait for me to finish what I'm saying." The captain said.
"Since you have come to our production team as educated youth, you are one family. We certainly cannot watch you starve.
So the team decided that, except for the deduction of the 30 kilograms of food that was borrowed before, the rest of your work points will be exchanged for food according to your work points.
Of course, if you don’t meet the work point standard for per capita rations, you won’t be given any per capita rations.
But the team allows you to buy grain from the production team. Of course, this time we cannot sell it to you at the internal price, but at the grain station price.
Just don't want a ticket.
Female educated youth could buy a maximum of 300 kilograms, and male educated youth a maximum of 350 kilograms.
This way, your food supply will at least last until the next food distribution.
But if you want to eat and drink without planning or waste food, then there is nothing we can do.”
Several newly arrived educated youths quickly did the math and found that even if they bought grain at the grain station's price, it would still be much more cost-effective than having to make up for the work points and distribute the grain per person, so they immediately became happy.
"Thank you, captain, and thank you to the team leaders for your consideration for us," Chen Guoqing expressed his gratitude quickly.
The other three followed suit and expressed their gratitude.
The captain waved his hand to indicate that you were welcome, "We have to buy food after the food distribution is completed.
There is no need for the four of you to line up. Wait until everyone has distributed the food, then come back to buy food."
The distribution of food was not a pleasant process, but the people waiting in line had no objection.
Those who received the food carried it back on their shoulders, or on flatbed carts or wheelbarrows. They were all delighted.
After waiting in line for more than an hour, it was finally Liu Jingxue's turn.
Accountant Li saw that it was Liu Jingxue, looked up her name in the account book, and said to her,
"Liu Zhiqing, you have a total of 548 work points. After deducting the 30 kilograms of grain you borrowed, you can get a total of 368 kilograms of grain per person after processing and distributing it.
In addition, they can get 29 yuan.
See if there is any discrepancy with your calculation."
Liu Jingxue said directly, "No need to calculate, I trust Accountant Li, just follow this."
Upon hearing this, Accountant Li's face immediately broke into smiles.
Those who came to collect grain just now, whether they were villagers or educated youth, asked him to count the whole thing for them. None of them trusted him as much as Liu Zhiqing did.
After giving the money to Liu Jingxue, Accountant Li asked, "Liu Zhiqing, which food do you plan to get?"
Liu Jingxue thought for a moment and said, "Accountant Li, 368 kilograms should refer to the amount of coarse grains. If it is converted into fine grains, what is the exchange rate?"
"1:2.3, 2.3 kilograms of coarse grains for 1 kilogram of fine grains," Accountant Li replied.
After thinking for a while, Liu Jingxue said, "Then I want 100 kilograms of cornmeal, 100 kilograms of sorghum rice, 50 kilograms of barley, 50 kilograms of brown rice, and 30 kilograms of flour."
"OK, no problem."
After the grain was weighed, Liu Jingxue carried a load on her shoulder, put a bag of grain on each load, and held a bag of flour in her hand, and took all the grain back at once.
After returning home and storing the grain into the space warehouse, Liu Jingxue carried the load back to the drying dam.
After all, in order to supply the cowshed, she had to buy some more food and let the team leader and the people in the cowshed know where the food came from.
Seeing Liu Jingxue, who had received more than 300 kilograms of grain, coming over again, the villagers who were queuing to buy grain asked curiously, "Liu Zhiqing, you received more than 300 kilograms of grain, isn't it enough to eat?"
Liu Jingxue explained, "Aunt, you know I'm very strong, and people with great strength usually eat a lot.
I can eat as much as two people, and the food is not enough for me."
The aunt nodded in understanding, "People with great strength do need to eat more than ordinary people."
Liu Jingxue bought another 50 kilograms of sorghum, 50 kilograms of millet, 30 kilograms of soybeans, and 20 kilograms of peanuts according to the maximum limit.
