Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 201 Don't Ask If You Shouldn't Ask

The adjacent beds trembled slightly and made rustling noises. Realizing that Xu Shuhua and the others had got up, Si Ningning straightened her legs, stretched her whole body, and got up behind her.

After a quick wash, the day was not yet bright, and the group set off stepping on the dew.

Originally, they thought that they would not meet other people so early, but in fact, as soon as the group entered the production team, they bumped into Chen Lianmi who was carrying baskets.

"Auntie."

"Auntie."

The educated youths greeted each other.

Seeing the educated youth, Chen Lianmi smiled and said, "It's so early, are you going to town?"

"Yeah, auntie, haven't you been busy a while ago? It's a two-day holiday, and everyone plans to go to the town to buy some daily necessities."

"Haha." Chen Lianmi smiled again, carrying the burden and walking behind the educated youth, "That's just right, I can walk with you for a while, chatting while walking, time flies!"

Hearing that the same way was going, Li Lingyuan took a step forward, reaching out to take the burden from Chen Lianmi's hands, "Auntie, let me help you find a way."

"No, no, no." Chen Lianmi quickly waved her hands, "There's nothing in it, just some soaked soybeans, light and not heavy, I can do it myself!"

Li Lingyuan laughed and scratched his head, but didn't say anything else.

Si Ningning was familiar with Chen Lianmi, and after listening to Chen Lianmi's words, she slowed down and asked, "Auntie is so early, what are you doing?"

"This year, some soybeans were planted in the private plot. A few days ago, there were still a lot of soybeans left for planting. I thought about choosing a brigade to grind a plate of tofu." Chen Lianmi explained with a smile.

Make tofu?
Si Ningning was stunned for a moment, but before he could make a sound, Jiang Yue started bluffing, "Is the side job of our brigade making tofu?"

"It's not really a side job, it's just some simple items. The production teams under the brigade, such as grinding tofu, husking millet, and extracting oil from rapeseed in spring and summer, have to go to the brigade to get them. Generally, other There are also brigades and communes.”

"So it is!"

Walking and chatting along the road, before parting, Chen Lianmi suggested that the educated youths go with them, so that they could recognize the way to the brigade.

All the educated youths looked at Si Ningning in unison, waiting for Si Ningning to speak.

Si Ningning frowned and said, "Then go!"

Follow a group that can recognize the way, and if they need to ask the captain for something later, they can come by themselves, saving time and troublesome others to lead the way.

It took about five to ten minutes, an hour, from the third team to the brigade. When Si Ningning and others followed Chen Lianmi to the tofu shop of the brigade, someone was already grinding tofu.

According to Chen Lianmi, the person who grinds tofu should be in the same situation as her. They are afraid that the leftover soybeans will grow insects if they are left for a long time, so they take them and grind them into tofu. Eat for several days.

Chen Lianmi identified to the group of educated youths which household was the home of the captain Luo Daqing, and then took advantage of the time when the educated youths watched the old crop grind tofu, Chen Lianmi waved at Si Ningning with a wink and recruited Si Ningning backyard.

"Aunt Lianmi, what's the matter?"

"You guys came out early, didn't you have time to eat breakfast?" Chen Lianmi leaned on the door frame and stretched her neck to take a look, then closed the door and brought a bowl from the window sill in the courtyard, "It's my turn to grind tofu now An old sister, I asked her for a bowl of soy milk, drink it quickly."

Chen Lianmi looked at Si Ningning with a smile.

Although Si Ningning's idea of ​​being a daughter-in-law fell through, Chen Lianmi's love for Si Ningning did not diminish in the slightest.

Si Ningning looked at the soy milk handed over, feeling a little emotional and a little embarrassed.

After glancing at the door, Si Ningning hesitated and said, "Auntie, isn't this..."

"Auntie knows what you're thinking. It's not that Auntie is partial. If I grind tofu at home, other educated youths will order it for everyone. Now there is only one bowl. Auntie will definitely come to you first." Chen Lianmi pulled Si Ning Ning put the bowl in his hand, "Drink it quickly, ah! It will save you from starving in a while!"

Said it was not partial, but in fact it was partial.

But it's also a little embarrassing.

A group of seven educated youths came over, and only Si Ningning was fed... Chen Lianmi had good intentions, but if other people found out, they would be upset.

When Wu Yong came out last time, Si Ning would rather not be in the mood to come back again, but the point has already been said, and it would be useless to push it away.

Si Ningning had a clear mind, and was afraid that Xu Shuhua and the others would be embarrassed if they were delayed, so they would be embarrassed, so they said nothing, raised their eyebrows and smiled obediently, and sincerely thanked them.

After that, he held the bowl and "huhu" drank it.

The soy milk is freshly ground and boiled, it has been filtered, and it tastes smooth, but there is no sugar added in it, so the taste is not good, and it has a strong beany smell.

Food rations are expensive in this day and age, even though it's just a bowl of soy milk, it's also Chen Lianmi's wish.

Knowing this, Si Ningning took four breaths and worked hard to finish a bowl of soy milk. After a while, he raised his face and returned the bowl to Chen Lianmi, and hiccupped halfway, "Hi, thank you Lianmi Auntie, I'm full!"

"I just drank a lot of water, and the soy milk is not enough to fill my stomach, but ah, support people!" Chen Lianmi smiled and glanced at Si Ningning's face that was red from drinking soy milk, and waved her hands: "Okay, let's go, Don't make Xu Zhiqing and the others wait too long."

Si Ningning smiled and thanked, then opened the back door and walked into the house, heading to the front.

However, within two steps of entering the room, Si Ningning bumped into Xu Shuhua head-on. Xu Shuhua seemed to be taken aback, "Ningning, so you are here, and everyone is looking for you."

While saying that, she patted her chest and stepped forward to grab Si Ningning's hand, Xu Shuhua said, "I'm leaving."

Si Ningning nodded and quickened his pace.

Outside the door, Xu Shuhua yelled "I found it", and the others returned to the team one after another. Everyone followed the direction Chen Lianmi pointed to when they came, and headed towards the town.

The brigade was not far from the main road to the town. They walked on the main road in a few minutes and walked for more than half an hour. They successfully arrived at Bahe Town. At [-]:[-] in the morning, the post office in the town had already opened.

Jiang Yue and Xu Shuhua both had letters and large packages to send, so they made up their minds and planned to go to the post office first.

Si Ningning listened for a while, and said, "Go, I won't go."

The night before, he said that he had sent a letter to his family before, but Si Ningning would not send the letter now, so of course he didn't have to go with him.

And put it in another way, if there is a package from home at the post office, if she goes to sign for it now, won't she have to take it all the way later?
"That's fine."

Jiang Yue and the others were also aware of this, and did not force Si Ningning to keep up. They only told Si Ningning when they parted: "We plan to go to the vegetable market with the male educated youths later. Meet at the hotel."

"Okay."

Si Ningning nodded in agreement, waved to everyone, and the group separated.

Si Ningning came to the town for one purpose, and that was to buy things.

But today, he will definitely spend most of the day in the town, shopping can be done in a few minutes, and he has to find something to do to pass the time.

After thinking about it, Si Ningning made up his mind to go to the black market!

After finding a dead corner in an alley and entering the space, and then exiting the space, Si Ningning was already dressed as a tall and thin young man.

Lifting the empty back basket, Si Ningning walked towards the ferry lighthouse.

When he heard voices near the lighthouse, Si Ningning confirmed that the black market was open today, so he moved the things in the space into the back basket behind the sand pile, and then carried the back basket half-back and half-embraced into the black market in reverse. .

Just like the last time I came here, there are many people in the black market, and Monkey Head and others specialize in reselling, almost in the same position as last time, Si Ningning met him again.

The monkey head just made an order, and was busy counting the tickets with his head down. He didn't notice Si Ningning at all. Si Ningning put the back basket on the side of his booth, and he stretched his legs and kicked the back basket, "Oh, go, Who is it? Is this someone else's stall and can't see it?"

However, he kicked the carrying basket and it didn't move at all, and the owner of carrying the basket didn't intend to take it away either. The monkey's face was wrinkled in displeasure, and he was about to start scolding when he saw the person standing in front of him clearly. His eyes lit up: "His grandma's! It's you! Hurry up, come in and talk!"

Monkey head pulled the sack on the ground to make room, Si Ningning borrowed a snakeskin bag from him as before to make room for it, and then started to take things out.

The monkey head kept babbling: "I've been looking for you for a long time, and I haven't seen you. I still wonder if you were raped by someone, or you were arrested."

Si Ningning gave a "tsk", and cast a sideways glance at the monkey's head on his tough face modified by the silhouette of the eyebrow pencil, and asked displeasedly, "Can you talk?"

"Yes, yes, it's my crow's mouth." The monkey head smiled and patted its mouth. It had been sitting on the ponytail just now, but now it suddenly moved a step and squatted beside Si Ningning, stretching its neck to reach the basket Look inside, "What did you bring this time? Do you still have the rice and noodles from last time? I want both!"

"I brought some..." Putting some rice and egg noodles on the snakeskin bag, Si Ningning covered the cloth on the top of the basket, pushed the monkey head back, and continued: "Ten catties of rice , fifteen bundles of noodles, can you eat it?"

"Ten catties!?" Monkey Head made a quick calculation in his mind, gritted his teeth and asked, "Is it the price from last time?"

"Yeah." Si Ningning nodded his head lightly, and the monkey head immediately made a decision, "Yes!"

Surprise flashed in Si Ningning's eyes, but he didn't say much, it's of course good to sell it in one go, so she won't have to wait here.

There was a scale on the monkey head stand, so Si Ningning didn't take his own space, so he took out all the remaining rice noodles in the back basket, and waited for the monkey head to be weighed.

Confirming that there is no problem, the monkey head neatly counted a thick stack of notes to Si Ningning.

Even though the stack of bills was thick enough, they were actually ten-cent bills, totaling exactly eight yuan.

Si Ningning collected the money. Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, the monkey head immediately glanced at the basket on one side, "Your bamboo basket is so big, did you bring other good things?"

Si Ningning gave him a sideways look, raised his eyebrows and said nothing, the monkey head knew that he had guessed right when he saw the situation.

Before he had time to urge him, Si Ningning took out three pieces of meat from the basket.

Big white fat meat!Three! ! !

The monkey head's eyes looked straight, the meat was so much better than the meat they got from the way they begged their grandpa and grandma before!
"Why didn't you say you have meat earlier!"

The monkey head stomped very annoyed, thinking of something, he stretched out his hand to grab the meat, but it was too late, all the passers-by and passers-by came together in a blink of an eye, and the small booth was tightly packed :
"How much is this meat? How to sell it? I want it!"

"I want it too, I want it too!"

Someone noticed that the monkey head wanted to hide it privately, and pushed the monkey head aside as soon as he stretched out his hand, and the monkey head stomped his feet angrily, "Everything is about first come, first served! You are unreasonable! Shameless!"

Everyone was only focused on grabbing the meat, and no one listened to what he had to say.

Monkey head was so angry that his face turned green, he clenched his fists and continued to stamp his feet and growl: "That's my brother! The meat my brother brought me, hurry up!"

As he spoke, he squeezed forward.

However, the monkey head is not tall, and the people are thin and thin, so how can it squeeze through those people?Soon he was pushed aside again, and he was in a mess, and he didn't know who it was, and even slapped him in the face.

When Si Ningning finished selling the meat and counted the bills in his hand, he saw the monkey head with a livid face and a nosebleed from the corner of his eye, and was really taken aback, "What's wrong with you? Who beat you?"

"Hmph." Monkey head let out an angry "hum", turned his head away, and turned his face back before hardening up for a second.

The wrinkled face was full of anger, and at the same time there was a trace of aggrieved, "I treat you as a brother, so I take care of your business, look at you, you don't even say that you have meat..."

Forget it if you don't say anything, at least leave some for him!
It doesn't matter if you don't stay, then don't let him see it!Such good meat! !
The monkey head and intestines are all regretful, he shouldn't have spoken just now, he just grabbed the meat and put it on the scale, and it's over, now it's good, it's fine if the meat wasn't grabbed, and some shriveled kid gave it to his grandma .

Si Ningning was stunned for a moment, it was the first time for her to sell meat on the black market, she really didn't expect it to be so popular.

But it's not that Si Ningning doesn't know how to be grateful to others. It's convenient for her to do the monkey head, so she is naturally willing to do the monkey head's convenience.

"No, I still have one in the basket, just give it to you." Si Ningning said, his hand had already reached into the back basket and pulled the straw rope to lift the meat out.

The people around saw that she still had meat, and they were about to move forward again. It can be seen that Si Ningning hung the meat on the hook of the scale. Knowing that the meat had been fixed, he stopped halfway and did not come forward again.

Monkey head was surprised, and he didn't wipe his nosebleed anymore, he happily squatted down in front of Si Ningning, "Okay, that's enough loyalty!"

"Just like them, two yuan and twenty one catty, this one is exactly one catty." Si Ningning said flatly.

It's convenient to travel and convenient to return, and the money is still collected seriously.

The monkey head took out the money neatly, and asked casually, "This meat is so fresh, but still so fat, you have a big background?"

To get such a good resource, it was not because I had the audacity to raise it secretly, it was because someone above had a way.

After several contacts, from the perspective of Si Ningning's clothing and behavior, Monkey Head's guess is more inclined to the latter.

Si Ningning replied with a fake smile: "Every trade has its own rules, don't ask if you shouldn't ask."
