Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 161 Luo Yan feels wronged again

This time Luo Cheng took the bus at 2:30 in the afternoon. In fact, he set off after 2:40. Luo Cheng took his watch with him again, and it was almost four o'clock when he arrived here. It seems that the shuttle bus only drove to the county seat a few kilometers away, and then returned to the city without staying long at all. Because here we can wait for the bus to the city at around 4:30 in the afternoon.

When Luo Cheng arrived home, he happened to meet Luo Yan who had brought another bucket of eels. Luo Yan was naturally very happy to see Luo Cheng back, but immediately she looked aggrieved in front of Luo Cheng.

She had already thought about how to use the cloth Luo Cheng gave her. The first time she earned money from her second brother Luo Cheng, she kept only one dollar. In fact, she is very satisfied with one dollar. After all, in the countryside, there are many families with a dollar in their pockets for women who have not left the government.

This second time, Luo Cheng gave her candy and cloth directly. But Luo Yan still didn't keep it. As soon as Luo Cheng returned to the city, his mother 'persuaded' him to use it to make clothes for his nephew that night. He also warned Luo Yan not to tell Luo Cheng about the cloth, as it was given voluntarily.

She said that Luo Yan would get married in the future and her nephews would be able to support her when they grow up.

But among siblings, Luo Yan has a close relationship with Luo Cheng, so how could she not tell Luo Cheng.

"Yanzi, when I go back this time, you and I will stay in the city for two days. I still have fabrics. I also got some fabrics for pants this time. Those who come to pull eels and loaches will give them to me tonight. I'm giving it away. I won't give you the fabric anymore. I'll take it to the city and you and Qian will make you a suit of clothes together. I don't believe it anymore. Once the clothes are made, I can't take them off your body."

Luo Yan has an upright temperament, and she won't complain if she is burdened with work or whatever, but she just doesn't want to be wronged. When talking to Luo Cheng, he didn't cry, but his eyes dropped a lot. Hearing that Luo Cheng was going to take her to live in the city for a few days and even get her some clothes, she laughed, but her eyes didn't stop falling immediately.

In her heart, she was a little dependent on her second brother Luo Cheng. His second brother was so kind to her, and she felt that she didn't need anything and was willing to work with Luo Cheng. What's more, every time I come to Luo Cheng, the food is so good.

"Okay, go back early. It's dark and the road is hard to walk. Let me tell you, I'm the team leader in the unit now. I'm an officer. To celebrate. Let's make dumplings to eat tomorrow night. Make more tomorrow night. Let's go. Eat. Let’s have a simple meal for lunch and cook a few pots of porridge. It’s not easy to get food now, so please save some for me.”

Luo Cheng said that it was not that he was short of food, but that he could no longer get food casually. In the future, the province will have to find reasons to explain the source of the food. The previous buns can be said to have been left to him because they were not done well. But Luo Cheng didn't have any grains here, only good rice and noodles. Luo Cheng planned to buy all the whole grains in his ration next time he came here, and even exchanged things for some whole grains.

Luo Cheng used to make either steamed buns or pork head meat. It was okay at first, but it has always been like this. Who doesn't murmur in his heart that even if this buyer has a good life, he is not so exaggerated. The mayor’s family doesn’t even have this way of eating. Not to mention the mayor, the city’s big cadres probably don’t have the conditions either. They can just eat for themselves and still have extra to entertain others.

Now Luo Cheng has to harvest it too. After all, there are already some places where they can only rely on sweet potato leaves to satisfy their hunger.

Luo Yan heard that Luo Cheng would save food and eat thin and whole grains after hearing this. But on the contrary, it feels normal. You have to know that the canteen only has steamed buns and dough to eat at noon, and this is the time when farming is busy recently. If all the seedlings are planted, it will be a matter of weeding and clearing land, and we may not even be able to eat the corn.

When Luo Yan went back, Luo Cheng asked her to inform others tomorrow morning and remember to come here for lunch. In the afternoon, I asked my eldest sister and my mother to stay and make dumplings. This may be a rare and sumptuous meal in the future.

Luo Yan nodded and went back. She felt sorry for Luo Cheng, so she wanted to make dumplings and eat them. That's okay, no one has a big belly these days. A dozen people can eat all twenty pounds of flour and stuffing. But my second brother said that he has become an official in the work unit, which is indeed worthy of celebration, so naturally it is difficult to say anything.

The next day, Luo Cheng woke up early in the morning to eat porridge for lunch, but Luo Cheng brought some peanuts from the future. There are also mung beans and large pieces of rock candy, and the fabrics are also brought over. And in the coming era, he finally started buying farmed pheasants online.

Raising pheasants is really expensive, and Luo Cheng thinks it's not cost-effective, but some things can no longer be simply converted into food. In the future, if an old hen is raised privately and is not fed feed, it will cost more than one hundred. The pheasants on the Internet are not expensive, but Luo Cheng feels that he grew up eating feed. They sell for more than 20 per pound, and only about 80 per pound.

But Luo Cheng just wanted it to look like a pheasant, no matter how he was raised. Although pheasants can be caught in the mountains, it is actually more convenient and cost-effective to catch rabbits with smoke if you have mosquito killer.

You can take a few pheasants back to the factory and use them to entertain guests in the factory canteen. But Luo Cheng saw that domestic chickens, as long as they did not eat feed and could be raised for half a year or a year, could be sold for hundreds. Luo Cheng feels that this seems to be the way to succeed the eel and loach. Next year, the canteen will be cancelled. Due to the shortage of meat, the brigade will also encourage everyone to raise chickens, ducks, and even pigs.

Of course, this encouragement does not mean that everyone should breed and make money, but rather adopt. For example, go to the production team to adopt a piglet, raise it for a year, and let the production team determine whether it is fat or not, and then go to the recycling station to recycle it according to the grade. Even during the Chinese New Year, the production team will slaughter a pig and sell it to the people in the town for free to eat.

Luo Cheng thought that if he got acquainted with the head of the grain station, he could take the lead in establishing a cooperation with the commune and sell the rice bran to the commune, while Luo Cheng would operate in the middle. Paying the expenses myself and reaching a breeding cooperation with the commune, it seems that by next year we will be able to perfectly connect with the eel business that has disappeared.

But we can talk about raising chickens later. Luo Cheng has to go to the black market because of the collective canteen. The impact of the black market in the city is very serious. In the past, wealthy people in the city would take coarse grains to relatives in the villages and towns to eat rice and fine grains. Those who are not rich can also take some things and spend money in the countryside to buy some grains, sweet potatoes and so on.

Now everyone is out of food because of the collective canteens in towns and villages. Even city dwellers with relatives in the countryside can't exchange for food. If they don't have enough food, they have no choice but to go to the black market. The same goes for the black market. Food and other things are completely influenced by each other. If you want to buy food on the black market, the price is higher than before, and it is difficult to meet food sellers.

Because most of the food that used to be circulated on the black market in cities was distributed in towns and villages. People in cities do not produce food and eat rationed food, so where can they get excess food?

Luo Cheng took a gourd of wine and a roast duck from the future era, and set off early. After arriving at the black market in the ravine outside the town, Luo Cheng was relieved when he saw a man squatting at a small intersection. No matter how good or bad the black market is now, at least it still exists.

If a commune is established and everyone eats in the collective canteen, causing the black market to fail to operate, then Luo Cheng will not be able to find black cattle. Luo Cheng didn't know where Hei Niu lived. If the affairs of the commune and the canteen affected the black market in the township, Hei Niu and the others would close the black market or change places and they would not be able to find anyone.
