After nightfall, the county seat of Trojan Horse County is lively.

The county still maintains the mode of life that has been implemented in recent years, eating a big pot of rice, and most of the harvested grain must be handed over to the county for unified disposal by the logistics department, and the remaining small part is at the disposal of the people themselves.

At the same time, the construction of various infrastructure facilities is subsidized according to the intensity of labor, which is paid for in the border currency of the Eighth Road, and can also be exchanged in the county for the national legal tender and ocean, which is almost a dual-track parallel labor system.

Therefore, whenever it is time to eat, in the county, near the factories and mines near the Black Tiger Cliff, there are crowds of people, which is very lively.

Although every household has some food, the people are still used to eating in the canteen, after all, eating together is not only cheap but also lively, and the food at home can be saved for emergencies.

The most lively place naturally belongs to the front of several shops in the prefecture.

The food in the canteen is limited after all, and a few shops are supplements outside the canteen, which contain all kinds of bits and pieces, such as appetizers, some alcohol, and even braised dishes such as pig's head meat, which can be purchased with border coins or exchanged for grain.

These shops, in addition to the original Lin family's shops, have opened many more, and all kinds of goods are complete, and the merchants are making a lot of money.

Of course, since the Lin family is a shop that came in to cooperate with Trojan Horse County at the beginning, it will not collect rent for five years, while the rest of the shops need to pay a lot of rent, and the profit is naturally not comparable with the Lin family's shop.

All shops need to go through strict scrutiny when they enter the prefecture to open a store, and they must have strong business channels.

The reason for this is that these shops not only make money and maintain commercial circulation, but also have to take on some additional obligations, such as using their commercial channels to purchase some necessities for the county, or helping to bring the county's grain reserve price to the famine area when the famine comes, and opening porridge sheds to help the victims.

During the special period, every facility and initiative in the county must provide auxiliary services for the war and the county's plans.

"Dr. An, come on, come on, have a drink—if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to harvest so much food, but you're our living bodhisattva......"

"Dr. Wang, eat a piece of pig's head meat - don't dislike it, the chopsticks are clean......"

"Pan Gaogong, I haven't seen you for a long time, you have to drink this glass of wine, otherwise you won't give me Lao Liu face!"

In the square in the county, under the high corn stacks, in front of the wheat piles that exuded the smell of grain, Pan Haodi, An Leping, Dr. Wang, Dr. Qiu and others accompanied the two envoys, Jason and Bronson, and the people who were happily eating with peanuts, rice, pig's head, and meat purchased from the shops on the side rushed forward to toast and let them eat something.

An Leping, Pan Haodi and others tried their best to shirk it, and if they couldn't push it off, they ate two sips and drank a little, and after a while, their faces were flushed with wine and gas, although their heads were dizzy, they laughed extremely happily.

All along, they want to use what they have learned to contribute to the country, but there is no way to serve the country, but now, everything that Trojan County has, but they have a share of credit, and the smiles on the faces of every citizen have their efforts, how can they not be happy?

"I thought it would be so hard for you behind enemy lines, but I didn't expect it to be like this!"

Jason Bronson said that life here is much better than the life of the low-level people they saw in Chongqing - the only difference is that no matter how hard the people at the bottom live in Chongqing, it has nothing to do with them, but in Trojan County, they have to live the same life with these low-level people.

"That's because you didn't see the hard times that used to be here!"

Pan Haodi and Anle Ping glared, telling that when the most difficult time was for everyone in the county to eat bran vegetables together, everyone was skinny and skinny, compared with the present, my heart was more full of a sense of achievement.

"Dr. Wang, you led the invention of penicillin, right? When will you take us to see it? ”

"Dr. Qiu, I haven't seen any high-rise buildings here, are you useful as an architect here?"

Sometimes, Jason Bronson can't help but spy on these, but Pan Haodi and the others have already been instructed by Lu Yuan, knowing what to say and what not to say, directly refuse or pass by, and the depressed two blow their beards and stare at them but have no way.

In addition to these people, the big dog and bear of the cow pimple and the guards who had been to Chongqing with them were obviously the most popular group of all the men in the county.

No matter where they appeared, they would be treated like guests by the common people and soldiers, and they would be asked to tell about the night in Chongqing.

"That's called a big one, Zizi, you can't put your hands together!"

The big dog took a sip of wine, snorting wine and gesturing exaggeratedly with one arm, and his chin was about to reach the sky.

"Blow you, can you be that big? That can't crush the waist pole! ”

Although Wang Mazhu, Xu Yun, Luo Youcai and others on the side have heard it I don't know how many times, they still can't help but question, Mao Ying seems relatively reserved, but her ears are also as erect as rabbits.

The saliva of the men in a large circle around him was a few feet long, and he secretly compared himself with his mother-in-law or the women in the county, and his heart was even more policeman, saying that he had to start from a snack to grow like this.

"Believe it or not, I'll tell you, the white-skinned, white-faced, nourishing ......"

The big bear rolled his eyes, and the chopsticks tapped on the edge of the bowl and said, "The meat is gone, which of you will get some more!" ”

"Mom. Yes, two catties of pig's head meat were almost eaten by you alone! ”

Wang Ma Zhu scolded stupidly.

"What do you mean, eat and drink, why are you unhappy? Forget it, I'll go if I don't eat it! ”

The big bear rolled his eyes and picked up the shelf to make a gesture to leave, and Xu Yun and the others on the side pulled people to go to the shop to cut some more pig's head meat, and let the big bear continue to talk, Wang Ma Gong stomped his feet stupidly on the side, and said that he knew that this was the case, and he would rather not be the battalion commander at the beginning, and he must follow him to Chongqing.

Since Lu Yuan and his entourage returned to Trojan County, the men in the county could dream of those white bodies, the idea of pressing the women who looked down on them and tossing wantonly, so that the most unclean guys in the county washed their pants a few more times, bumped into each other, and smiled tacitly.

Unlike men, who are eternally concerned about women, women also have their own topics that they care about the most.
