Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

Many people may think that ten pigs can last for a month, but this is actually the result of frugality. A steel mill has tens of thousands of people.
According to the regulations, each person consumes one and a half pounds of grain and one pound of non-staple food every day, of which meat accounts for two ounces. This is the consumption standard in previous years, and the standard for disaster years has not yet been determined;

Meat consumption was about 2,000 kilograms per day, and this was the standard in the first two years. During difficult times, even if the supply was only one-fourth of that, it would still be 500 kilograms. Of course, we couldn't eat meat every day.
In general, even if we save as much as possible, we still need about 10,000 kilograms of meat a month. Each worker can only be supplied with one kilogram per month, which is already too little for a heavy factory.
Think about how tight the supply must be for a factory as large as a steel rolling mill. Of course, it cannot be solved by itself;

The meat processing plant can also solve part of the problem, so it all depends on Li Huaide. Of course, He Yuzhu is a result of Director Li’s ability and connections!
I remember in the play "Man is Iron and Rice is Steel", when a pig was slaughtered during the Chinese New Year, the workers were so happy;

It can be seen how tight the pork supply is. This is just the beginning of the difficulties. The real big difficulties will be in the second half of next year and the year after next.
If the difficult period lasts for a long time, the fish in the river, the game in the mountains, etc. will decrease sharply, and it will be difficult to solve the problem;
He Yuzhu's idea was that the steel mill still had a few vacant plots of land, so if it didn't work, they could prepare in advance and be self-sufficient;
Of course, this requires leadership support. Perhaps the best time is next year. This year’s difficulties have just begun, and everyone does not have a clear understanding. It is difficult to get approval.
No matter how difficult it is, I still have to try my best to make this happen and do my job well!
"Director, the situation is like this..."

He Yuzhu reported the situation in Lijiaopo Village in detail and waited for instructions!

"Zhu Zi, what's your opinion?"

Li Huaide did not make a decision immediately, but asked He Yuzhu's opinion; he had no idea because he had not been to the scene, but He Yuzhu did!

"Director, we can take the pigs back. With ten canteens, so much swill, plus leftovers, it doesn't cost much to feed them.
It's just a matter of building a pig pen. Our factory has no shortage of materials. Besides, these pigs may play a decisive role at a critical moment!"

"There is no problem with coarse grains. There is some in the warehouse, and I can also coordinate some with the grain station. But if we want to raise pigs, we need to add more manpower, and there are still many issues that need to be coordinated.

Well, I will arrange for someone to bring the grain over first, and as for the rest, if the secretary and the factory director have no objection, we can do it this way!"

Li Huaide tends to agree with He Yuzhu's opinion. There are previous examples of Beidahuang and Nanniwan, and they are not the first to do so.

These are all done by the steel rolling mill. It belongs to a collective, not to individuals. If you do it yourself, you can have enough food and clothing. It's very good and powerful!

Having supplies in your hands always makes you feel more at ease, and you can allocate them at any time. It is much better than looking for supplies in a hurry, right?
"Yes, Director!"

He Yuzhu hung up the phone and left with Xu Damao. It was up to the factory leaders to decide what to do next.

If you look far ahead, you will definitely succeed; if you look back and forth and rely on luck, you will probably fail;

However, He Yuzhu believes that the leaders will agree. After all, many of the current leaders are people from the revolutionary era, and what they lack the least is the idea of ​​self-sufficiency!

The scorching day finally cooled down a bit in the evening, and the sunset glow was like burning cotton wool, spreading across the sky and dyeing the whole village in warm orange.
The villagers, who had been busy all afternoon, were walking towards the big canteen in the center of the village one after another;

He Yuzhu and Xu Damao just rushed back. Looking at the villagers who had just returned from work, He Yuzhu watched with interest as they walked into the big canteen in the center of the village!
The dining hall was a spacious adobe house with a thick thatched roof and a striking wooden sign hanging on the door;

On it were written in red paint the words "People's Commune Canteen" which were very old-fashioned. Before we even reached the door, the aroma of food filled our nostrils, prompting people to quicken their pace.

He Yuzhu felt a different kind of rural atmosphere, which was completely different from the canteen in the steel mill!

"Oh, Aunt Li, you've been really busy today. I'm looking forward to having a hot meal in the cafeteria!"

The middle-aged man carrying a hoe smiled and greeted the old lady who was walking towards him. Aunt Li was holding her little grandson in her arms, looking very happy.

"That's right, this big canteen is great. After a day's work, we can come back and eat ready-made food. It saves us a lot of trouble!"

In the cafeteria, long tables and long benches were neatly arranged, and on the walls were slogans such as "Work hard, strive for excellence, and build SH-ism quickly, efficiently and economically", as well as some posters promoting the benefits of a large cafeteria;
Several women were busy inside. They were wearing simple coarse cloth clothes, with beads of sweat on their foreheads, but they did not stop what they were doing.
He Yuzhu felt the enthusiasm for work. It seemed that the big cafeteria did not dampen their enthusiasm. Instead, it was like a big family!
"It's time to eat!"

With a shout, the steaming hot meal was served on the table. The staple food was steamed bread and sweet potatoes, and there was also a big pot of vegetable soup.
Although the meal was simple, it was a rare delicacy in an era of relative scarcity of supplies. He Yuzhu was unconsciously infected, with a faint smile on his face, watching the scene with interest!
"Director He, the meal is simple, please forgive me!"

When Village Chief Li learned that the grain from the factory could be brought back today, he became obviously more energetic and his attitude became more enthusiastic!

"Village head, this is a canteen with a lively atmosphere. It's not like our factory, where we can't feel this kind of atmosphere. Everyone is in a good mood. The canteen is really well run!"

He Yuzhu sighed slightly. The cafeteria had only been open for half a year, and everyone cherished this kind of life.

Once the novelty wears off, coupled with some lazy people in the village cheating and playing tricks, enthusiasm will be dampened, and the problem is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth.

Actually, this is understandable. After all, people who don’t work eat so much, and they who work hard also eat so much. People who work hard will feel uncomfortable, and over time, their enthusiasm will naturally be affected!
No matter what will happen in the future, at least it is good at the moment, and that is enough. When development is restricted in the future, it will naturally be eliminated by the times!

"Haha, everyone in the production team works together, and after work, they eat together in the cafeteria, which saves a lot of time. It's really a good policy!"

He Yuzhu nodded and continued to observe the situation in the cafeteria. The children were like happy little deer, jumping and running towards their families, singing and laughing happily;
A child jumped into his father's arms, excitedly sharing his day's experiences with his family, looking forward to receiving his father's praise!

"Dad, I helped grandma feed the chickens today. They were very obedient and I'm looking forward to coming to the cafeteria to eat!"

"Little Tiger is so good. Eat more. When you grow up, you will have the strength to help with housework!" (End of this chapter)
