Stay true to our original aspiration, shoulder our mission, and continue the road to rejuvenation for food people (3)

The spring of 1986 came, and the clarion call for reform and opening up also sounded in the grain industry. With the emergence of negotiation for purchase and sale, there was no longer a ration of 18 pounds. The market supply of rice, flour and oil was sufficient and could be purchased at a negotiated price. , each family’s rice bags bulged, and people’s living standards have changed a lot. The burden placed on the shoulders of food people has become heavier. Meeting people's needs and stabilizing market food prices have become the top priority of food people, which makes the mission of food people more determined.

Only when you join the ranks of food people will you know the preciousness of food. "It would be better to shed a thousand drops of sweat than to spoil a grain of grain." This is the resounding slogan of food people, and it is also the original intention of being a food person. "Rehearsing three days in winter and three days in summer" is the basic skill of grain workers. The procurement of autumn grain and summer grain is the top priority of the grain department. Whenever the procurement begins, every grain station concentrates on collecting grain. The mission of the custodian is to ensure good quality. After collecting the grain, no matter whether it is a cold day or a scorching summer, the custodians are working hard outdoors. There are dedicated people responsible for the series of processes including registration, quality inspection, truck removal, weighing, warehousing, and billing. The grain that exceeds the standard needs to be cured and dried. Once it passes the standard, it can be transported to the warehouse. This may seem simple, but in fact it is not simple. It has to be strictly controlled in the severe cold in winter and the scorching sun in summer, and constant explanations and exchanges with farmers are required. It turned out that the settlement was unified by each village after the grain delivery task was completed. It was not until 1994 that the settlement was changed to cash and cash could be cashed on the spot, which brought greater convenience to farmers. At the same time, withdrawing large amounts of cash also increased the workload of settlement. With the sincere cooperation of grain people, every quarter's grain collection will be completed smoothly. .

After the grain is stored in the warehouse, you have a heavy responsibility for safe storage. You must level the grain into the warehouse and insert the temperature measuring rod (meter temperature rod) under the grain according to the points. There is a dry and wet thermometer hanging in the middle of the warehouse. There are also people outside who measure the temperature of the grain every week, give the grain a careful and detailed physical examination, and record the situation.

The stored grain is like a work of art. It is always pleasing to the eye when displayed in front of me. It was the first time I went to see the masters inspecting the warehouse. When I opened the warehouse door, I saw a clean and tidy doorway with rat-proof boards. Mouse traps, insect-proof bags, and then I climbed the ladder to the top of the warehouse. What I saw was the angular and flat grain surface, which shocked me. How much effort was required to achieve this! This is new for a layman like me, but it is very common for them. Every warehouse of grain must be made like this. I said, do you need to put grain (raw grain) so cleanly? He said that this is the standard of "one symbol and four nothings". As a food person, this standard is the bottom line, responsibility and true heart.
