After smoking the mugwort, Shui Yao found the big wooden barrel and poured the boiled water into it, and then silently withdrew, leaving the space to his younger brother Shui Yun.

Although Shui Yun is only five years old now, after all, he remembers it, and the atmosphere in the countryside is relatively old-fashioned, so men and women still need to pay attention to it. Therefore, Shui Yao only prepared a series of related utensils such as bath water, soap, and towels for him, and then went to the kitchen stove fire house to prepare dinner.

Although the sisters and brothers had a lot of harvest in the afternoon, but considering that it was already evening, the diet had to be lighter, so Shui Yao only went to the backyard to pick some green vegetables and fry them, and then peeled the fresh bamboo shoots and cut them into slices to make a simple fried bamboo shoots, and then fried two eggs, which were served with the spread cakes and porridge.

It's been a long time since I've been in this era, although the air is really much better than it was later, and Shui Yao doesn't care much about dressing, but she really can't complain about eating.

Although most of the current grains and vegetables are mainly self-produced, natural and pollution-free, and they are relatively healthy to eat, compared with later generations, the types are really single. Although his father is a worker, and his monthly wages and food stamps are not small, almost every meal is still based on coarse grains, especially the cornmeal cakes and coarse grains.

For this, although Shui Yao also wanted to improve his life and let his family eat more fine grains, however, as the old saying goes: "How can people not bow their heads when they are under the eaves?" Reborn in this era when everything depends on the state's supply, whether it is coarse grain or fine grain, it is rationed, which means that no matter how much money he or she makes, he may not be able to buy what he needs. It's no wonder that Shui Daquan has been able to wear homespun clothes for several years. Thinking of this, Shui Yao couldn't help but look at the sky speechlessly: This is really too difficult!

But there is another way to try your luck on the black market. The last time Shui Yao met a lot of sellers of fine grains and coarse grains in the black market, but it seems that there are not even so many sellers of those fine grains. However, although some things can be bought on the black market, such as meat and other rare things~ things, there is a problem that must be faced, and that is the price.

Generally speaking, if you want to buy something on the black market, you have to have money, because everything is at least two or three times more expensive than the outside, and if the workers in the factory go to the black market once in a while, they can afford it, after all, the salary of dozens of dollars a month is not covered. However, for an authentic rural person, in addition to participating in the production team, he will only pay a small amount of money to the team members every month, and even if he goes to the black market, he can't buy anything, let alone those expensive grains.

However, although her father has some savings, after several conversations, Shui Yao understands that his temperament cannot be more upright. So no matter what, going to the black market to trade is tantamount to a fantasy for Shui Daquan.

Moreover, although there are many people who go to the field to work in the production team before dawn in the morning, and they can't go back until the evening, there are few people in the whole team who can eat enough.

In addition, there is no blessing of family planning now, no matter how every family says, they must have four or five children, and one more person will have one more pair of bowls and chopsticks and one more mouth, and they can't even eat coarse grains, and who dares to expect to eat a meal of noodles made of fine grains one day?

According to the current exchange ratio, one pound of fine grain can be exchanged for five pounds of coarse grain, if anyone saves so much fine grain, most of them do not hesitate to redeem coarse grain, anyway, as long as they don't starve to death, just feed the child. After all, in the early days, they had a famine here, not to mention the bark and grass roots, and even rats and cockroaches rushed to eat them, so even the coarse grain paste was already a supreme delicacy for many people.

However, the lack of material resources is not necessarily a bad thing for Shui Yao, after all, she now has a lot of fish and bamboo shoots, and I believe that she will not worry about buyers when she gets it on the black market.

Shui Yun, who was woken up by Shui Yao here, was already in a daze, plus he was afraid of the cold, so taking a bath was naturally so-so, but looking at Shui Yun, who was constantly dozing off during the meal, at this time, his face was still bitten by mosquitoes Two big bags, and there was one on each half of his face, which looked quite funny when it was symmetrical, and this Shui Yao couldn't help but bend his eyes.

"Didn't you say that you like to eat your sister's dishes the most? Why can't you look energetic? ”

Shui Yun didn't have time to answer after hearing this, so he yawned solidly, and the whole person looked sad.

"Sister, didn't we catch a fish today? Why is it still a bunch of vegetarian dishes? I don't have any taste in my mouth every day, and I can fade out of a bird! ”

Listening to his words, Shui Yao sighed silently in his heart: It's really a sister and brother, and even the questions they think about are exactly the same. However, although Shui Yao had already planned for this in his heart, he didn't forget to tease him.

"What? I used to see you eat wild vegetable paste and face porridge every day, and I didn't see any dissatisfaction with you, now you see, a simple dinner, we all have three dishes and one soup plus staple food, just on this condition, you hummed with me, I see if you were spoiled by eating big fish and meat every day some time ago? ”

Speaking of this, Shui Yao's heart teased even more, and the whole person stood up directly, walked to Shui Yun's side, and reached out to take away his bowl of coarse grain porridge when he was unprepared.

"I see that you have so many opinions, but you still eat it. Now some people just don't know the blessings in the blessings, and if they don't hone well, they don't know what is thrift and hard work! ”

Shui Yun didn't expect that he was only slightly complained about for a few words, and then he was taken away from his job, how can this be done? If you haven't eaten, how can you sleep well with your stomach rumbling in the middle of the night? Seeing that Shui Yao had no intention of looking back, Shui Yun's entire face drooped down and wrinkled into an orange peel.

"Sister, I was wrong, should I eat well? You give me my bowl back......"

Shui Yao had just taken two steps when he heard his brother's begging for mercy behind him, so he raised his eyebrows slightly and tentatively probed.

"What the hell are you trying to do here?"

Shui Yun saw that her sister had finally stopped, and the tight strings in her heart were slightly loosened, and she hesitated for a while before she was embarrassed.

"I didn't ...... Nothing, didn't I see that you hadn't made potato chips for a long time? The mouth is hungry and tight. Sister, do you still sell potato chips? The classmates are urging me, so I don't even know how to explain it to them now......"

Mentioning the problem of potato chips, Shui Yao's brain ached faintly: although this business is only an expedient measure, after all, it is easy to keep a business and difficult to start a business, although I wanted to do business at that time, but I did not have start-up capital, the cost of potatoes is low, and I have planted a lot at home, which is easy to come by, and the profit margin is very large.

However, the business has just gained some eyebrows, and before she can do a big job, the competitor Li Xuemei came out to sabotage, thinking that now that she has been targeted by the guards, Shui Yao is annoyed, but there is nothing she can do about it.

"Yunyun, potato chips, if you want to eat them, my sister can make them for you at home, but maybe it will be inconvenient for me to sell this thing in your school from now on, so you don't want your classmates to wait anymore in the future." However, the food problem you mentioned just now, my sister can improve it for you when she is free, but you will have to be obedient when the time comes......"

Before Shui Yao finished speaking, Shui Yun's face suddenly turned from disappointment to expectation, and he kept nodding his head, like pounding garlic, and his mouth kept reassuring.

"Okay, sister, don't you know me yet? What is our relationship? That's a great revolutionary friendship! I'm the most obedient of all, and you'll have to make me more food when the time comes. ”

Early the next morning, Shui Yao woke up his younger brother who was sleeping, and then, quickly packed up, Shui Yao took the donkey cart into the city with Shui Yun on his back. Although the two were going to enter the city together, Shui Yao had other plans this time.

However, there are not so many water clouds sitting on the donkey cart, at this moment, he is holding the potato chips that Shui Yao has just made for him, eating with a mouth full of oil, and relishing, as soon as he heard Shui Yao's arrangement, his little face was full of doubts.

"Sister, what did you say? Aren't you going to see Dad with me later? Where are you going? ”

I saw Shui Yao put his index finger to his mouth and made a "shhhh

"Well, I'll take you over later, and when I'm done, I'll pick you up at the hospital, and I'll see my dad by the way, and then let's go home together, okay?"

Although he didn't know what Shui Yao's plans were this time, he thought of the previous agreement between the two, he nodded obediently, and then didn't forget to remind: "Sister, remember what you said, make me something delicious tonight!" Yunyun wants to eat fish, get me a big, big ......"

got Shui Yao's assurance, Shui Yun didn't stay long, kicked off the car with his calf, shook his head and went to the hospital, while Shui Yao looked around and found that there was nothing abnormal, so he also put his mind at ease and went straight to the black market.

Calculate the time, the last time Shui Yao went to the black market, it will be more than a month to say the least, and last time she still followed others to secretly watch how people do transactions, but this time she needs to get started in person.

This time, Shui Yao put the two fish and two fresh bamboo shoots that were processed yesterday into the back basket, but the ginseng was not taken, this thing is more durable, and it was not sold for a day or two, and it was not tight. Besides, fish and bamboo shoots are rare in themselves, and if they are brought with ginseng, the target is too big and it will attract the attention of some people with crooked eyes, and it will be even more difficult to think about it in the future.
