How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 201 Uncle Guan comes to the house, half for each

"Brother, are you going to dig a cellar?" Li Daila asked.

Li Daila's family is from Beihe Province. He is not unfamiliar with cellars. Not to mention cellars, he has even drilled many tunnels.

"That's right. When you go out, you must also take the soil you dug out with you and dump it somewhere where no one is."

"Brother, you are..."

"Shut up!" Before Gousheng could ask, Ma Feng interrupted him and said, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. We'll do whatever Big Brother tells us to do."

"Oh!"

Then a few people started to work. They didn't know how to use some of the tools, so Li Le taught them.

After Ma Feng and his team started digging, Li Le went out and bought a ceiling fan. There was no other way as it was too hot while working.

To be honest, it is indeed a little early to stock up on food now, but there is no other way! Food coupons were used in 1953, and you can’t buy food even if you want to.

It’s better to start stockpiling now and do it slowly over time so that you can buy more. Besides, you don’t have to store all of it in the cellar. The most important thing is space.

Anyway, the space is static and it will remain the same no matter how many years it is, but it is not easy to fill it up.

If Li Le's space is used only for rice, it can hold more than 180 tons, and if it is used for flour, it can hold more than 110 tons.

There are only five people in Li Le's group. Even if each of them buys 100 kilograms every day, it would only be 500 kilograms a day.

Five hundred kilograms a day, five thousand kilograms in ten days, and fifty thousand kilograms in a hundred days. Now it has been just over two years since the implementation of food coupons in 1953.

More than two years, less than a thousand days, even if food could be bought every day, it would only be more than 400,000 kilograms.

It is basically impossible to buy food every day. It’s not that it’s impossible, but it can’t be done so blatantly.

Otherwise, Li Le wouldn't have let everyone buy it secretly. In this case, it would be good if they could buy it half of the time.

In this case, by the time food coupons were implemented, it was estimated that at most only 200,000 kilograms of grain could be purchased.

More than 200,000 jin is only a little over 100 tons, which can't even fill the space, let alone put it in the cellar.

The reason for digging a cellar is not only to store food, but also to conceal it.

If there is no food stored, how will Li Le get food when the time comes! If it is just him, it doesn’t matter, but now there are seven people in the family!

So it is not too early to stock up on food now, and it is even a little late. Of course, this is also because Li Le secretly stockpiled some food before, otherwise Li Le would have started long ago.

Yes, the difficult period is still far away from now, because the three-year difficult period started in 1959 and ended in 1962.

But don’t forget, it was basically impossible to buy snacks after 1953 because there were no tickets!

Even if you have a ticket you may not be able to buy it because food will be in short supply and rationed.

After working until lunchtime, we finally dug a hole with a diameter of 60 centimeters and a depth of 1.5 meters.

You have to know that this is a job for four people! There is no other way. The place is small and there is no need for so many people. They can only take turns to do it.

It will be fine once we dig out some space below. Then several people can work together and it will be much faster.

"Brother Le, it's time to eat." Zhao Yanran came over and shouted.

"Okay, got it."

After Li Le agreed, he said to his brothers, "Okay, don't work for now. Go wash up and have dinner. We can work again after dinner."

"Okay big brother."

After working for a whole morning, the brothers were very hungry. They only took a few bites of each steamed bun and ate up two large pots of food.

Fortunately, Li Le asked Zhao Yanran to do more, otherwise it would not be enough.

After dinner, I rested for about an hour and then continued working.

They didn't stop until four in the afternoon. Several people loaded the excavated soil onto a tricycle and transported it away.

Fortunately, there were many tricycles, and each tricycle was loaded with some food, so it was not noticeable at all. "Remember, you can't buy food from the same store. You can't go back to a place you've been to once for at least ten days or half a month."

"I know bro."

"Okay, let's go!"

Li Le also went out, and his tricycle was also loaded with soil.

He rode the tricycle around, found a small empty pit, dumped the soil, and left with the bag.

Continue to collect waste, no matter how much or how little you collect, and go home before 7pm.

Of course, before going home, Li Le also went to the grain store and bought 50 kilograms of rice.

He covered the bottle with the bag and went home directly. No one knew he had bought rice.

This is exactly the effect Li Le wants, just like ants moving, little by little, accumulating into a lot.

After coming back, he asked Zhao Yanhan to open the door of the cooking room and put the rice in.

When the number increases, Li Le will secretly collect some of them into the space.

As time went by, Li Le prepared a lot of wood because he wanted to dig the cellar bigger.

These woods will be used as pillars to support the building, otherwise the area below will be too large and will collapse.

At this time, the underground had already been dug to more than ten square meters in the direction of the yard.

The height is about two and a half meters, and the top and the ground are all made of square wood with a diameter of ten centimeters.

It was laid out tightly. Anyway, this stuff didn't cost any money, and Li Le could get a lot of it by going out of the city.

With this thing, not only will landslides be prevented, but food will also be kept from coming into contact with the ground.

Of course, this is only temporary. After everything is dug out, we still need to do moisture-proofing.

It’s just the beginning now and it will take a long time to complete the excavation.

According to Li Le's idea, the underground excavation must be at least 100 square meters, which refers to the actual area excluding the pillars.

At noon that day, Li Le and his friends had just finished their meal and were about to rest when Uncle Guan found their home.

"Uncle Guan, what's wrong with you?" After Li Le opened the door, he saw that it was Uncle Guan and hurried forward to ask.

"Li Le, come with me."

Although he didn't know what was going on, Li Le still agreed and followed Uncle Guan out.

"Uncle Guan, where are we going?"

Looking at the direction they were going, Li Le asked in confusion, because this direction was Uncle Guan's house.

"Come with me, you'll know when you get there."

After hearing what Uncle Guan said, Li Le didn't ask any more questions.

Sure enough, twenty minutes later, two people arrived at Uncle Guan’s door.

Uncle Guan opened the door, and after Li Le went in, he closed it again and bolted it.

When we got to the house, Uncle Guan said, "Sit down and wait for a while. I'll go get something."

"okay."

In about two minutes, Uncle Guan brought out a box, placed it in front of Li Le and said, "Pick three items yourself."

Li Le opened the box with doubts, and when he saw six antiques inside, he seemed to understand something.

"Uncle Guan, is this what you bought from that person last time?"
