Chapter 16 Skills
Melon seeds, this thing is also a rare thing in non-staple food, and peanuts can be grown in many places. In previous years, rural people would also organize some people to plant in the brigade or village, so although peanuts were not enough, they were also scarce.
But melon seeds are even more scarce, although melon seeds are also non-staple foods, but under normal circumstances, ordinary people's non-staple foods can only buy some condiments, oil, salt, tahini and the like.
These peanuts and melon seeds, and even more expensive candies, can only be purchased with a special ticket. That is to say, peanuts have peanut tickets, and melon seeds have melon seed tickets. There are also candy tickets, tofu tickets, pastry tickets, and so on.
Therefore, even if you eat commercial grain in the city, if you don't have a certain status, you will be given a peanut ticket at most during the New Year. Melon seed tickets are also issued, less.
Rural people also eat melon seeds, but they are all pumpkin seeds, pumpkins grown by themselves, because there is no land for themselves in this era. The vegetable plots are all collective, and some people can't grow much pumpkins even if they grow them privately. Put together, a 'hand' or two at most. You also have to have the leisure to dry and fry it.
Luo Cheng opened the melon seeds and tasted them, they tasted good, they were also five-spiced, and the particles were relatively large. Most of the southerners like to eat salty or five-spiced things, and there are fewer sweet ones, of course, it is not absolute, at least Luo Cheng knows that there are many people in Jiangsu who like to eat sweet.
The peanuts that had been given to my sister had been handed in by them, and now they were placed on the table, a small plate. No one took it from anyone who saw it, this is the rule, you have to wait for everyone to arrive, almost one person can divide a few pieces, and taste it. I really want to chat while knocking peanuts and melon seeds, and I can't do it, so it has to be about the same as a big leader.
"Shishi, come here, take melon seeds for your younger brothers and sisters to eat, sister-in-law, you can also have some."
Luo Cheng's bag, last time Luo Shishi only opened the surface curiously, and did not flip through it unruly. After all, he is also a fourteen-year-old, and he can't rummage through his eldest brother's bag like a child. She didn't expect that in addition to peanuts and melon seeds in her eldest brother's bag.
Luo Shishi heard that her eldest brother asked her to take melon seeds to entertain her cousin brought by her sister-in-law, and she was a little overwhelmed for a while. The melon seeds are just such a small packet, because the melon seeds are not heavy, it looks like a lot, but in fact, there are not many, not half a catty. You can't just divide it all at once, and the children of the aunt and uncle and uncle are also here, so you can't have it.
In fact, Luo Cheng also knew that there were many people before he handed it over to Shishi to share, he was a man in his twenties, and it was so difficult that he went to give melons to others, and he couldn't give as many grains as he could.
"If you don't eat it, you young people and children can eat it, and my aunt will talk to you."
Seeing that his nephew Luo Cheng went to get melon seeds, and let her eat them, my sister-in-law saw that the melon seeds were only a small packet. She refused and said, there will be a lot of people later, this melon seed can eat some of her own children, and she still counts it.
Luo Shishi took the melon seeds, thought about it for a while, and began to divide the melon seeds for her younger brothers and sisters.
And the sister-in-law's children heard that there were melon seeds, even if the sister-in-law's eldest daughter was eleven years old, they all obediently stood beside Shishi.
After dividing the melon seeds, knocking a melon seed is chewed for a long time before being willing to eat it, the taste is very fragrant, and you will continue to eat one when there is no taste in your mouth.
"Chengzi, what are your plans for coming back here, are you going to work?"
is equal to Luo Cheng, this is what my sister-in-law is most curious about at present, Luo Cheng is the most promising person in their Luo family at present. If such a person can only stay in the town and go to the brigade to work and farm or something, then she won't know how to brag about it in her in-laws' house in the future.
"Well, the army gave a letter of recommendation, but I was a signal soldier in the army, and I could drive cars and repair cars. There may not be a job suitable for me in this town, so I plan to visit the town's revolutionary committee in the afternoon. ”
If it is in a big city, Luo Cheng only needs to go to the street office, but Longyang Town is too small and there is no street office at all, so the town revolutionary committee has a similar role. However, the town revolutionary committee is more about receiving and arranging the work of the people who come here, which means that someone is transferred to this side, and they are responsible for receiving and arranging.
But Luo Cheng is looking for a job, and the town committee may not be able to do it. They have no power in government departments, and local units do, but they are all a radish and a pit, such as schools, grain stations, police stations, etc., and the town committee will coordinate at most, and there are not many work positions, so they can't be arranged.
The most important thing is Luo Cheng's professional problem, and he will try his best to match the professional when arranging work.
"Cars, Chengzi, you can also drive cars and repair cars."
Hearing Luo Cheng's words, let's not talk about whether I work or not, many people have never touched their bicycles in these years. Whoever has a bicycle is a great existence, and Luo Cheng can drive a car and repair it. In the future, if I mention my nephew to others, my nephew is a person who has driven a car, then there is really no comparison.
"Well, cars, trucks, trucks, and trucks will do, but it's nothing."
Seeing the shocked look on his sister-in-law's face, Luo Cheng still said a little modestly. Yes, it will indeed be opened, and it will also drive an excavator. But except for cars, vans, trucks, etc., they haven't really been on the road. As for repairs, most of them are only entry-level at the moment.
This means that faults are checked and parts are replaced. But if some parts are broken, let him repair the parts, it will be difficult, some things can be repaired instead, but it is easy to have problems, even if some things are broken, except for replacing them with new ones, Luo Cheng can't repair them.
And some real masters, playing transformation and repair, can dismantle the engine for you if it breaks, and then repair it for you.
Luo Cheng was interested in car repair at the beginning, and he wanted to modify the installation by himself was the real purpose. But after learning it, I found that modification is not such a simple problem, various parameter problems, and the mismatch of any parts may lead to problems.
In the modification industry, it doesn't mean that you can assemble something with good performance. If it doesn't match, it is likely that many parts will be damaged because it can't be brought in.
Therefore, Luo Cheng's technology is only an entry, and it is enough in general repair shops, but high-end auto repair shops have modification requirements, and he still can't do it.
"You are really promising, the car is also in the urban area of Yi'an, in this Longyang Town, even the shuttle bus does not drive in."
The sister-in-law said with a smile, for cars, there are indeed many people who have never seen them in this era, and even many people have dealt with the land all their lives, and they have never been to the city once.
Even if it is a shuttle bus, you have to pay a few dimes for a ticket to go to the city, and Longyang Town is relatively close to Nghe An City, only two dimes. But with this money, some people still choose to walk to the city.
Regarding what his sister-in-law said, Luo Cheng could only laugh with him. With his ability, he will be a little bit in the future life, and it will be difficult to find a job.
