I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 1003

Everyone agreed without hesitation, and no one competed with Cuihua'er's family.

Without them, the family would not have received any news.

No money transaction is involved, and everyone is not afraid, and they are not afraid that someone will inform and attract black market patrols.

What's wrong with exchanging wild vegetables for food?

The country allows ordinary people to exchange one catty of fine grains for three or four catties of coarse grains!

Li Xingxing is not very good at using this old-fashioned scale, which has a weight, a weighing pan, and a scale on the scale.

So Xia Mingxing weighed, and she settled the accounts, converted it into food, and then weighed it to them according to the needs of the other party, and put it into the cloth bag they brought, with patches on it.

If the weight of the wild vegetables is a little bit less, Li Xingxing will often give them a round number.

Everyone is happier.

Even one or two more can make an extra meal.

They are so lucky!

When meeting such kind-hearted people, I really have to thank Cuihuaer for tipping them off.

Moreover, they all have to change cornmeal, because one catty of cornmeal can be exchanged for three catties of dried sweet potatoes!

Cuihua'er and his wife were not the most diligent. They exchanged 24 and a half catties of wild vegetables for five catties of cornmeal, and the hardest-working, skinny woman brought a full 39 catties of wild vegetables!
Among them, two-thirds are shepherd's purse, which is very tender.

Don't know how she did it.

Although the quantity is large, the quality is not inferior to others, and the ferns are neatly tied with straw ropes.

Li Xingxing packed eight catties of cornmeal for her, and she was so happy that she kept bowing to Li Xingxing, "Thank you! Thank you kind people! Will you come to collect it tomorrow? I will go home and ask my mother-in-law and my daughter to dig wild vegetables again! The weather is warm, one night We can pop out better, and we can go farther in groups, and we can always find it."

Li Xingxing calculated his school start time, "I received it the day before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

In this way, they can exchange a little more food for the Lantern Festival.

During the exchange, she knew that this group of people came from a shantytown, and it was a shantytown that was relatively remote from the inner city.

Cuihua Niang hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "In fact, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, more wild vegetables will emerge. New ones will grow every day throughout the spring, and they are very lush. There are no buds, elm flowers, and acacia flowers at this time!"

Li Xingxing smiled, "I'm going to school, I don't have time to come."

There was a trace of disappointment on everyone's face.

Xia Mingxing said, "It's not impossible."

"Huh? What way?" When Li Xingxing asked, everyone's eyes lit up.

Xia Mingxing laughed and said, "Ask Xiaodouzi to collect it. Anyway, he works as a handyman at the dock and has no serious job. Why don't we let him harvest wild vegetables for us, and we can give him some food as a reward. Wouldn't everyone be happy?"

They can often eat wild vegetables, small beans and those who exchange wild vegetables for food are also subsidized.

Xia Xingxing always remembers what Xiaodouzi gave Li Xingxing.

After hearing this, Li Xingxing couldn't help but nodded: "Good idea! By then, Chinese toon sprouts mixed with tofu, locust flower cakes, and steamed elm coins will be able to appear on our dinner table!"

What are prickly buds?She has never eaten it, so she has to try something new.

Cuihuaer also gave them some advice: "Some wild vegetables can be dried and preserved. The dried amaranth and purslane are soaked in water in winter, and some lard residue is added. The buns are delicious! When I was young ate."

Later, the planned economy was implemented, and in the past few years, we encountered food shortages, so we no longer had such treatment to enjoy.

Li Xingxing wants to eat.
