Since Zhang Shanhai began to cultivate, his sense of hearing is much more sensitive than that of ordinary people, and he naturally listens carefully to his parents' conversations. The mood was very complicated, and thoughts started in my head.

In fact, if the policy allows, there are still many things that can be traded in the countryside. For example, the wild boar that Zhang Shanhai got back last time. If it were to be sold in the commune, it would definitely be in demand in large quantities by the people of the city. At this time, meat is a very scarce commodity. Although wild boar at this time is not necessarily as valuable as domestic pork, because it does not have as much fat as domestic pigs, and it does not taste as good as domestic pigs. But it is not a problem to exchange it for food.

Food is still much more abundant in the cities than in the countryside. On the one hand, they have food stamps and have more money in their hands, and on the other hand, the work they do is less labor-intensive than that of the peasants, so their daily food consumption is relatively small. So many people in the city will have a surplus of food stamps in their hands. If you take some meat to the city, there will be a lot of people willing to change it.

But this era was a publicly-owned collective economy, and private transactions were not allowed. Once a private transaction is caught, not only will all the materials be confiscated, but the "tail of capitalism" will be cut off.

The next day, Zhang Shanhai and Zhang Shanmad took the little yellow dog to the wild boar ridge together, under the leadership of the little yellow dog, it didn't take long to find an elk, this is a good thing, the whole body is a treasure, if you take it to exchange things, you may get back a lot.

Zhang Shanhai repeated the old trick again, and captured the elk very easily. After letting Zhang Shan deal with the elk madly, he didn't take it home, but went directly to the commune. Biyun Commune was originally a small town, called Biyun Town, and later it was renamed Biyun Commune.

Biyun Commune is not very big, but the commune has a match factory and a pesticide factory, both of which are small factories, but in Biyun it is a very good factory. The people who work in the factory are all public family members, and the public family has a good salary every month, and they have a fixed amount of various tickets, which makes the surrounding farmers extremely envious.

Coupled with the cadres of the commune, the teachers of high schools and junior high schools, and the residents of the town, there are thousands of people in the town.

Biyun Commune is a street, in fact, it is a road, the houses of the commune are on both sides of the road, and the storefronts on both sides of the road are public shops.

In these places, Zhang Shanhai naturally did not dare to change things in these places. Zhang Shanhai heard that Zhang Jiashan secretly came here to change things and said that he had to go to the staff dormitory. Over at the staff dormitory, although Zhang Shanhai has never been there, he has been to his parents a few times, and he still knows the place.

Zhang Shanhai and Zhang Shanmad walked straight to the accommodation area, and Zhang Shanmad used a bamboo basket to carry the elk meat in the bamboo basket, and Zhang Shanhai covered it with some dried leaves. At a glance, others can't imagine that there is elk meat in it.

When he encountered someone on the road, Zhang Shanhai greeted him, and Zhang Shanmad followed behind.

"Auntie, do you exchange food stamps for meat?" Zhang Shanhai looked left and right, saw that there was no one around, walked forward and asked softly.

"What kind of meat?" The twenty-seven-eighteen-year-old woman asked, her skin was fair. She seems to have a lot of experience and should have dealt with people who ventured over to exchange things.

"Today was lucky, my brother and I fought an elk. Rest assured, it won't be expensive for you. Zhang Shanhai tried his best to pretend to be old, but his height was there, and he was more than a meter tall, no matter how old he looked, he was still a little kid.

The woman was an employee of the pesticide factory, named Zeng Xiulian, and the man was a commune cadre and a relatively wealthy family in the town. But even if you have money, you may not be able to buy things these days. A lot of things have to be bought with tickets. For example, pork has always been a relatively scarce material, and the restrictions are relatively strict. Every Chinese New Year, the biggest thing for the heads of various units is to make pork for the employees of the units.

"How?" Zeng Xiulian was moved, the two boys in the family have been calling to eat meat these days, but the meat tickets at home have already been used up, and they have to wait for this month's distribution.

"It's okay to use food stamps and money, but it's okay to exchange rice directly. One pound of meat for six pounds of rice. Zhang Shanhai whispered, to be honest, the price is not expensive, it is cheaper than the public one.

"How many? I want to change a little more," Ms. Tsang said.

"It's a few dozen pounds. Enough for you to change. Zhang Shanhai said.

"Does what you say work? Will your brother agree. Zeng Xiulian was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, what I said, my brother will agree." Zhang Shanhai assured.

Zeng Xiulian thought that she had a lot of food stamps at home, and it was no problem to exchange the extra food stamps for dozens of catties, but although the temperature is relatively low now, it is no problem to put fresh meat for a few days, but it can't be stored for too long, but it can also be smoked and put for a longer time. My family has to get at least ten catties, such an opportunity is rare, and in addition, I have to send some to my mother's family and my mother-in-law's family, so I have to get a few catties.

"I want 20 pounds." Zeng Xiulian said.

Zhang Shanhai's heart blossomed, and he said in his heart that the people in this city were really nourishing.

"No problem." Zhang Shanhai said.

"Food stamps, money and everything are at home, you can go to the house with me. It's also easier to cut meat at home. Zeng Xiulian said.

Zhang Shanhai didn't think about it from anywhere else, nodded, and took Zhang Shanmad to Zeng Xiulian's house together.

Zeng Xiulian also didn't think that there would be anything wrong with taking a tall Zhang Shan to go crazy to the house.

It was a wonderful time.

Zeng Xiulian's home is like heaven for Zhang Shanhai, although it is also square, but the ground is frozen with cement and there is a ceiling on it. The house was spotless, and in Zhangjiashan's words, it was as clean as a dog.

The furniture is also neatly placed, unlike Zhang Shanhai's house, although He Ni tidies up the housework every day, but the farmer has too many farm tools, and the house is not very big, and there is no place to put the objects. So no matter how hard He Ni tries, the house still looks messy. There is no comparison with Zeng Xiulian's family at all.

The two cubs of Zeng Xiulian's family were fiddling with a radio there, which no one in Zhangjiashan had ever seen. Zhang Shanhai's eyes were a little hot.

"If you two bunnies break your dad's radio, see if your dad comes back and doesn't beat your ass." When Zeng Xiulian talked about the radio, her words were full of pride.

"Say, I've lived for hundreds of years, and I haven't seen this thing." Huang Shiyin said with some shame.

Liu Daonan was also very strange, "It's really weird, that iron box can speak." Could it be that it is the cave of the immortals? ”

"Shit, it's a radio." Although Zhang Shanhai was young, when he went to the commune with Zhang Yunyang, he saw it in the office of the father-in-law.

"Come on. You didn't bring knives with you to the kitchen, did you? Zeng Xiulian said.

Zhang Shanhai nodded, and all they had in their hands was the knife he used to carve jade talismans.

"Come on, the kitchen knife I have here is a steel knife from the machine factory, and it's no problem to cut anything." Zeng Xiulian said.

Zhang Shanhai and the madman didn't bring a scale when they came out, and Zeng Xiulian went to the neighbor's house to borrow a scale. However, when I came back from borrowing the scales, I brought two neighbors with me.

They also heard that Zeng Xiulian's family came to exchange meat for rice, and they also brought food stamps and money and came over together. The elderly man who came was called Zhou Fangtong, and the middle-aged woman was called Huang Dongmei.

"We just split the meat, and you two brothers will have to run around, and if you run into pickets, they will all have to be confiscated." Zhou Fangtong said.

"Uncle Zhou, I don't have as much family foundation as your family, there are too many children in the family, but there are not many food stamps left, I want two or three catties is enough." Huang Dongmei said.

Zhou Fangtong laughed and said, "Then you will weigh it first, and I will cover the rest." I have a lot of children in my family, and I don't have many left. ”

Zeng Xiulian's family asked for twenty-five catties, and in the end, Zeng Xiulian hesitated to ask for five catties, Huang Dongmei finally gritted her teeth and asked for five catties, and the remaining almost thirty or forty catties were all returned to Zhou Fangtong. When he got into the water, Zhang Shanhai gave them all directly to these three as a match.

When it was time to leave, Zhang Shanhai quietly said to Zhou Fangtong, "Grandpa, if there is a sentence I say wrong, don't be surprised. ”

Zhou Fangtong was very strange, "Let's talk about it, at a young age, he looks like a little adult, he is really a farmer's doll who has been in charge for a long time." ”

"Is there anyone in your family who is sick?" Zhang Shanhai asked.

Zhou Fangtong frowned, "You know me?" ”

Zhang Shanhai shook his head, "I can see from your face, originally your children's palace was rich, and your children should be very promising, but now I see that your children's palace is slightly dark, it should be that there is a problem with your children in your family." Either you have a disease or you're in trouble. However, if you buy so much meat today, it should be that there are children in the family who are sick. ”

"Hey, the little guy is so smart and able to analyze so much from the meat I bought." Zhou Fangtong still ignored what Zhang Shanhai said, and preconceived that Zhang Shanhai was just relying on the fact that he bought meat by himself, knowing that someone in the family needed to nourish qi and blood. But he didn't pay attention to Zhang Shanhai's mouth, talking about his children.

"Uncle Zhou, who in your family is sick, why don't I know?" Zeng Xiulian asked.

"It's a brave soldier, as soon as this kid came back from outside this time, he was bedridden, and he called Dr. Zhao to come over and see it, but he didn't see anything famous." Zhang Jun said.

"Where did your son come from?" Zhang Shanhai asked.

"He is a cadre of the irrigation district, and this time the Wanchong brigade repaired the reservoir. My son is in charge of it. I heard that there were more than a dozen people with him this time, all of whom fell ill as soon as they returned. Zhou Fangtong said.

"No wonder. I said that the brave soldiers had returned, and they were not to be seen to wander around. My parent Song also said that the brave soldiers are now bigger, and when they come back, they don't even come to play, but I didn't expect it to be sick, and I will go to your house with Changsong at night to have a look. Zeng Xiulian said.

"How can so many people get sick? Is it some infectious disease? Huang Dongmei asked.

"Probably not. If it is an infectious disease, why can't Dr. Zhao diagnose it? Zhou Fangtong shook his head.

"Did your son encounter something strange on the other side of the reservoir?" Zhang Shanhai asked.

Zhou Fangtong moved, "There really is such a thing." According to my son, this time, they dug an ancient tomb in the reservoir. A hoe went down, and blood splattered. At night, I heard people crying everywhere, and when the big guy got up and turned on the lights to shine, he didn't see anything. The next day, the people who had gone to dig the tomb fell ill. ”

"It's a bump into a ferocious one." Zhang Shanhai said.
