27. Chapter XXVII
Walking and walking, the three of them actually walked to the pig market.
The pig market is not state-run, but people who sell pigs have to โกโก before they can enter it, and they can't get close to it if they don't have anything to do with it. And buying and selling privately will be regarded as speculation.
"Let's go see the Statutes." Lu Jianbin hurriedly said.
When they first entered Wudu Town, Qin Lu, Qin Guowen, Liu Guoguo and Li Jiangang went directly from the trail to the end of Wudu Town. The charter countries came to buy piglets and raise them back. Because there was a young man in the next village who turned in the collective because of pig raising, and the re-education was successful, he recommended him to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. The charter country is bent on returning to the city, so when it hears about any way, it wants to give it a try.
"Could they have already left?" Ye Qiu said suspiciously.
"The charter state is a tangled person, and it shouldn't have left."
"Comrade, buy pigs, sell them at a lower price." The pig seller seems to have seen the world, his eyes are poisonous, and when he saw Ye Qiu and the others, he hurriedly said, "There is a comrade in Shilong Village, who has fed three pigs a year, has made a great contribution, and has passed the re-education, and now he is recommended to go to university, comrade, do you want to come to two?" As long as you raise pigs, you will be able to return to the city. โ
Shilong Village is a village not far from Jianshe Village. I didn't expect the deeds of that young pig farmer to spread here.
Lu Jianbin was bored, leaning on one side, quipping, "What kind of pig to buy!" Troublesome! โ
"Look at you, this cub is a person who wants to take root in the countryside and work as a revolution for the rest of his life."
Lu Jianbin said angrily: "You have only taken root for a lifetime."
"Don't worry, you cub, I know you don't want to take root for the rest of your life, so you have to feed the pigs even more."
"Why?"
"Why? In order not to take root for a lifetime. Is it recommended to recruit poor middle peasants? Do you want to recommend going to university? But why do people recommend you? The most important thing is to see if you have the idea of taking root in the countryside, whether you take root or not, and feed a few pigs. If you feed the pigs, you will have a good idea of taking root in the countryside, and if you feed the pigs, you will have meat to eat if you invite the cadres to drink, and the cadres will be embarrassed if they eat your meat and do not recommend you. โ
"Oh!" Lu Jianbin looked thoughtful.
Ye Qiu is really speechless, it's funny to play treasure, if he Lu Jianbin can feed pigs, Ye Qiu's name will be his surname. Not wanting to follow such a person, Ye Qiu looked for them in the pig market.
"Fifth sister-in-law, Brother Zhang, they are there." The younger sister Tang Guizhi suddenly pulled Ye Qiu's sleeve.
Ye Qiu also saw it, and pulled Tang Guizhi over. Lu Jianbin stopped making fun of the old man and strode to follow. The old man was so angry that he scolded for a while.
Qin Lu's breath was full of the smell of pig dung, and her heart was so irritable that she was about to jump. Seeing Qin Guowen's faint expression, he endured it again. But when the charter states picked and chose to go around the whole pig farm. Qin Lu's face didn't look good, so he pulled Qin Guowen, "Brother Qin, can we go to the street first, I haven't seen Wudu Town yet." โ
Zhu Guoguo and Li Jiangang are too grinding, and they also pick fat and thin ones when they buy a pig. Wander around this smelly place for half a day. Qin Guowen actually wanted to leave a long time ago, but for the sake of face, it was difficult to take the initiative. After hearing Qin Lu's words, he hurriedly faced the charter national highway that was still picking pigs, "Qin Lu wants to go outside and buy something, I'll accompany her first." โ
"Alright, alright, you can go." He glanced at Qin Lu, who was covering his nose, and quickly said.
So when Qin Lu and Qin Guowen walked out, they happened to run into Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi who were walking towards them.
Seeing Ye Qiu, Qin Guo's literary feelings fluctuated a little, but he endured it and left Ye Qiu's side as if nothing happened. Ye Qiu was nothing, and walked over calmly.
Lu Jianbin said a few words to Qin Guowen, and then agreed to meet at the entrance of the town and go back together.
When Ye Qiu came to the side of the charter country, he happened to hear that the charter country had picked two pigs and was asking the price.
"That's a lot of money?"
"One pound of triangles, one eight pounds and one tael, one seven pounds, just weighed, four dollars and five corners and three, see that your baby is a real person, give four dollars and five dimes, and the pig will belong to you."
"Can you have less?"
"No, no, look at the pigs sold here, it's almost at this price."
"Boss, the piglets are all rotten, and you still sell them so high." Ye Qiu suddenly said loudly.
"What are you talking about, you?" The pig seller was a little angry.
"We are together, you sell so high, don't you want me to bargain?" Ye Qiu continued, "It's really not cost-effective to buy pigs, you see how small the piglets are, how much pigweed does it cost to grow up, and it's not enough to eat pigweed, you have to mix rice bran to grow fat." You see, everyone eats rice bran, but they feed it to pigs, isn't it cost-effective? After a pause, "If we don't sell it, it's a burden for you to bring it back." So, you have less, right? โ
"You bastard, you're a talker. Two corners and eighty-one pounds, can not be less. "Otherwise, I'd rather take it back and eat it." โ
"Two corners and eight are two corners and eight." The charter state hurriedly said, and then took out the money. Ye Qiu could only sigh, in fact, he could buy it for two corners and five, but it was a pity that the charter country was in a hurry. Forget it, it's not her who pays anyway.
The pig seller was happy to see the charter country, and he was also generous and gave the bamboo basket for the pigs to the charter country.
The group came out of the pig market. When the old man selling pigs at the door saw this group of people, he was angry, and when Lu Jianbin passed by, he was very angry and choked his eyes.
Lu Jianbin walked over indifferently.
The crowd didn't have anything to buy, so they went to the entrance of the town to meet.
Ye Qiu thought about the various bills on his body and the situation of the Tang family, and found that many tickets could be redeemed, and they happened to be available at home. So he took his younger sister Tang Guizhi and went shopping again. Lu Jianbin didn't follow this time, he and Li Jianguo took all the things Ye Qiu bought and left.
"Where do you buy the lantern and the battery?"
"Fifth sister-in-law, do you have a horse lantern ticket and a battery ticket?" Tang Guizhi was a little surprised, "Is there a big flashlight?" โ
There is no electricity in the construction villages, and the villagers' homes generally use kerosene lamps, and those who have a little more money use horse lamps. When you go out, you mostly carry torches, and if you are in good condition, you will use a large flashlight.
"Some of the horse lantern tickets and battery tickets are issued by the village in accordance with national regulations." Ye Qiu smiled, "The big flashlight doesn't have it." But let's go buy one. โ
"That's expensive." Tang Guizhi shook his head, "It's more than twenty yuan a piece." If only there was a torch ticket, a torch industrial ticket would do. It's a pity that it will only be sent by people who work in the city. After a pause, "Fifth sister-in-law, forget it, I also heard that the big flashlight costs batteries." โ
Ye Qiu shook his head, let's buy one, in case there is something to walk at night, a flashlight is better than a torch, "Take me to see it first." โ
Tang Guizhi nodded, and took Ye Qiu to a store, which said state-run grocery store.
The state-run grocery store is a store that combines groceries and tools. More than a dozen staff members, dressed in blue coats issued by grocery stores and sleeves on their arms, greeted the villagers who were shopping.
Ye Qiu saw the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, eggs, sugar, cigarettes, liquor, etc., as well as some daily tools: flashlights, horse lanterns, tea trays, hot water bottles, iron porcelain basins, needles and threads, and other daily household uses.
I walked around the daily life area, changed two catties of kerosene, and then went to the tool area and changed the lantern and battery.
Tang Guizhi took the lantern and the battery as if he was looking at a strange thing, looking at it over and over.
Ye Qiu smiled, and then looked at the salesman, "Comrade, I don't have a flashlight industrial coupon, can I buy a flashlight?" โ
"Yes, twenty-five yuan a piece." This price is a bit expensive, but Ye Qiu thought about it, and still felt that he should buy one, and so did Ma Deng.
The horse lamp was prepared by Ye Qiu for her mother-in-law and father-in-law, and the two of them had been using kerosene lamps. The kerosene lamp is made of glass bottles, and the fire is exposed to the outside, which is dangerous. Every time I saw them take them upstairs, I sweated in my heart, for fear that the house would be burned. Although the horse lamp is also a kerosene lamp, there is a glass cover on the outside of the outer wick, which is much safer.
"Why is it so expensive, our village came to buy it, it's only twenty-one."
The salesman glanced at Tang Guizhi lightly, "This is a Shanghai brand, look at this sign." The tone was arrogant, with a hint of contempt.
Tang Guizhi's face flushed.
Ye Qiu was also a little angry in his heart, but the salesmen in the state-owned stores now had a similar attitude, and he took a deep breath to hold back that anger, "How many lanterns?" โ
"Thirteen."
Hurriedly paid, Ye Qiu brought another pound of liquor to his father-in-law and left the grocery store. The two went to the pork shop again, and after exchanging the pork ticket for two catties of pork, Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi walked towards the entrance of the town with a full load.
When passing by a state-run scrap station, Ye Qiu threw the things to his sister to hold, and then got in. Inside, Ye Qiu found a lot of good things. Carved wooden beds and screens, tables and chairs. Although there are some missing arms and legs, these are antiques. There are also vases, porcelain bowls, and so on that are still in the corners. But because her sister is outside, she can't buy it and put it in the space, so she thinks she has to wait for the time to come to the town later.
After rummaging through it for a while, Ye Qiu found a lot of villain books and comic books, as well as some books on clothing tailoring. Villain books and comic books put a few into space. I bought three books on clothing tailoring, namely "Clothing Cutting of Workers, Peasants and Soldiers" published by Xiangjiang Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Garment Factory, "Garment Sewing Process Operation" compiled by S Provincial Garment General Factory, and "Basic Knowledge of Garment Tailoring" compiled and published by Southern Garment General Factory.
I spent more than a dollar in total, and I thought about going back to learn how to make clothes with my mother-in-law. However, it would be nice to have a sewing machine, but unfortunately Wudu Town is only a small town and it is difficult to buy. Ye Qiu wondered in his heart, when will he go to City C to have a look. When she left S City, it was already popular in the city. If you get married, there is one of the three turns and one ring, which is very high-profile.
Wudu Town is located in the southwest mountainous area, although it has not started now, but as long as the reform and opening up, it will soon become popular. Ye Qiu thought about the business opportunities, and his heart beat violently. But it's not time yet, and it's very uncomfortable to think about it. It's like a very hungry man who has a piece of bread in front of him, but can't eat it.
Ye Qiu hurriedly put aside all his thoughts and walked towards the town gate with Tang Guizhi.
On the way, he met Wei Hongzhi and Yang Dazhen.
Wei Hongzhi had a smile on her face, and when she saw that Ye Qiu had bought so many things, she hurriedly helped her get some. Yang Dazhen was envious, muttered a few words in her heart, and looked at Wei Hongzhi again. After some comparison, I felt a little lost in my heart.
Originally, Ye Qiu still wanted to take the food stamps to the grain station to exchange some food, but when he saw Yang Dazhen's appearance, he looked at Wei Hongzhi again, thinking about it, he would wait until later. So a few people quickly arrived at the entrance of the town, and after meeting with everyone, they returned to Jianshe Village.
