Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Standing on the hillside, you can see green spreading across the ground, which is particularly prominent in this season.

In the distance there is a tall chimney emitting thick white smoke, which stands out among the buildings.

In late autumn, the crops planted in the fields have already been harvested.

The fields were not left idle, and seasonal vegetables were planted there and are now growing lushly.

You can also see people watering the fields and picking ripe vegetables.

"Brother, if the land doesn't recover during the winter, will the fertilizer keep up?"

When He Yuzhu saw this scene, a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Thinking of the fertilizer problem, he turned and looked at Lu Qiufu.

After lunch at Zhao's house, He Yuzhu suggested that he wanted to come and see the farm, and Lu Qiufu agreed without hesitation.

Leaving He Yushui playing at Zhao's house, he rode Zhao Xincheng's bicycle and followed Lu Qiufu here.

Today, domestic fertilizer production has exceeded 10,000 tons, thanks to the three fertilizer plant projects built with assistance.

However, the project has not been fully completed and production has not increased to maximum capacity.

Although He Yuzhu has made great contributions to the relevant information, the core components cannot be produced independently.

The 10,000-ton forging press has not yet produced any results, and it will take at least two years before we can achieve self-production.

Compared with the arable land in the country, there are not many of these fertilizers on average and they are totally insufficient.

It is extremely difficult for the farms attached to the steel plant to get a share of the profits.

"Brother, if you don't know me, you might think you are from a farming family in the countryside. Haha~"

Lu Qiufu raised his eyebrows and patted He Yuzhu's arm jokingly.

"Don't worry about this, I have really farmed before, so I will not miss this.

As the saying goes, if you live by the mountain, you can eat by the mountain; if you live by the water, you can eat by the water. I have such a big factory, so I can still think of some solutions. "

As he spoke, a smug look appeared on his face.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu reacted quickly. He was careless for a moment and forgot the status of steel in this era.

Take grain as the key link, take steel as the key link, these eight words are not only a slogan, but also a guiding ideology for development.

The former is very clear. As a country with a large population, it has not yet entered industrialization and is still an agricultural country.

Food is the primary need of the people, and feeding hundreds of millions of people is a major national concern.

For the development of food production, no amount of words can be overstated.

The latter is the cornerstone of industrial development and a top priority in the national development plan.

A good cook cannot cook without rice. If you want to develop industry, you need a huge number of machines and equipment.

All of these require various steel materials, and the amount of steel required is even greater.

This does not even mention the steel needed for other construction such as railways.

Even with the help of cheats, you won't see results all at once.

The annual steel output is still a drop in the bucket, but it is hard currency everywhere.

Naturally, Lu Qiufu was able to exchange some fertilizer for himself within the rules.

Seeing the look on He Yuzhu's face, Lu Qiufu knew that the other party understood, and nodded with a smile.

"Brother, is this what you came here for today?"

He Yuzhu's behavior had a very clear direction. Even though he guessed it, he still felt confused.

Although food is important, it is not important enough to warrant a special trip.

But he knew that the He family had no shortage of food and drink, and that they ate well.

You can tell from the expressions of the He brother and sister that their skin is plump and shiny, so their food can't be bad.

He also gave the Zhao family a lot of bills, which were hard currency.

Everyone has money in hand, no one is as generous as him.

"Well, since you've seen it, I won't hide it."

He Yuzhu nodded slightly, looked around, and secretly checked again.

"You also know that I am the canteen director. If there is any need for me in the future, I hope you can raise your hand.

Of course, don't worry. This is a public matter, and it won't be difficult for you."

After hearing this, Lu Qiufu did not respond immediately.

It’s not that he didn’t agree to this, but he thought the request was too strange.

After the Ministry of Metallurgy reduced its staff, there were only a few hundred people in total.

For a steel plant with tens of thousands of workers, some food means nothing.

According to the grain ration regulations, the steel plant has the highest ration, and the ration for headquarters staff is much lower than that of the factory.

In addition, the steel plant is also a subordinate factory, so just issue the adjustment order directly.

Although there was a flood last year, the total grain output did not decrease much, as can be seen from newspaper reports.

He is in charge of logistics, and the amount of grain allocated to the factory has not decreased this year.

He frowned, with doubt in his eyes, and looked at He Yuzhu seriously.

"Brother, do you have any ideas?

I'll be frank with you. We don't need to consider this issue under the current circumstances."

He Yuzhu's eyes narrowed slightly, then he looked away and turned his head to look at the fields not far away.

"Brother, I'm not a fortune teller. I'm just in a position where I want to ask for a favor from you.

If something unexpected happens, we won’t be helpless.”

Lu Qiufu followed his gaze and also looked into the distance, unconsciously reaching out to touch the beard on his chin.

Looking at the people busy in the fields, he thought quietly, as if he was thinking about something.

The two stood on the hillside for a long time, feeling the cool breeze on their faces.

Lu Qiufu was the first to break the silence and patted He Yuzhu's shoulder hard, making a "pa" sound.

"Brother, I agree to this. No matter what, you did contribute in the beginning.

Even now, it would be reasonable for you to take one.

I'm putting this here. No matter what happens in the future, just let me know and I'll make arrangements for you."

Without waiting for He Yuzhu to reply, he pushed the cart downstairs.

"Let's go! I'll take you to the farm..."

After returning to the Zhao family from the breeding farm, He Yuzhu and his sister took a ride arranged by Lu Qiufu back to the city.

I took a bus in the city and returned home before the sun set.

In the north room, He Yuzhu stood in front of the washstand, rubbing the towel in the basin with his hands.

He Yushui was holding the hands of two little people, walking back and forth in the corridor outside the room, and bursts of laughter came into the house.

"You went to the western suburbs today. Did you achieve your goal?"

Chen Xueru leaned against the door frame, looking at He Yuzhu with a smile.

He Yuzhu paused, quickly wrung out the towel, and hung it on the rack.

In addition to what is said on the surface, this trip can also be regarded as a layer of protection for myself.

If you really are being targeted, it is better to rationalize your own food source rather than appearing out of thin air.

A smile immediately appeared on his face, and he turned around and gave Chen Xueru a thumbs up.

"Boss Chen, you really have a keen eye! My little thoughts can't escape your eyes~"

Seeing that he didn't want to talk about the matter in detail, Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at him and moved on.

"Virtue! Okay, I won't ask anymore.

The backyard cellar has been completely cleaned up today, you, the hands-off shopkeeper, please go and take a look."
