Chapter 54 So Everyone Knows
"That's why I didn't see it." Qin Huairu said embarrassedly.

Qin Huairu was a little emotional, "On Saturday 24th, I received next month's food coupons, and on Sunday 25th, I was able to receive next month's ration at the food station. My family has enough food for this month. It's all thanks to you lending me food stamps." The 20 catties of stick noodles.” Many families’ rations are not enough to eat, so the policy allows the use of the next month’s food stamps in advance, and they can eat enough food. The time varies from place to place.

"Tell your mother-in-law that it was borrowed. To you, it is my love for you and I gave it to you." It was too big, and Li Ming couldn't hold it with one hand, so he used two hands to make trouble.

Qin Huairu's emotion was gone, she was very happy and a little proud of the little man's obsession with her.

"Last time, you said that Lou Xiao'e would not come back, do you know what?" Qin Huairu's intuition told her that the matter was not simple, and she wanted to follow Li Ming's words.

"Did I tell you? I wanted to invite Xu Damao for a drink that time, but I just happened to meet him and the two of them were arguing a lot. Lou Xiao'e packed the clothes and boxes, and I sent her away."

Li Ming began to change the subject, "Did they pack their clothes and luggage when they quarreled before?"

"I don't really remember, it seems there is none." Qin Huairu thought about it.

"That's right, I think she even packed her clothes, and she won't be back for a while." After successfully leading Qin Huairu, Li Ming didn't want Qin Huairu to know his relationship with Lou Xiao'e for the time being.

Qin Huairu asked, "Why is Lou Xiao'e so angry this time?"

"Don't tell your mother-in-law, keep it secret. Listening to the content of the two quarrels, Xu Damao seems to have a nail scratch on his back. The second aunt should have heard it too. Why didn't she spread it around? Xu Damao brought some Chinese medicine back, and she Spread the word to the world."

"It has been spread all over the street, and all the people in the courtyard around here probably know about it. You didn't ask me before, so I didn't tell you. Xu Damao fooled around once or twice. I'm curious why this time I haven't been coaxed back for a long time."

Li Ming is speechless
If it doesn't break into the female crowd, the news is a bit blocked, and the news about the little kids is not good!
If the little girl didn't tell him earlier, Li Ming decided to teach her a severe lesson.

"I have a new idea, let's study it in depth."

. . .

. . .

In the middle of the night, Qin Huairu, whose legs were weak, returned to the middle courtyard with 10 catties of food stamps.

On Friday the 23rd, it looks like it will be sunny again.

Early in the morning, Li Ming rode his bicycle to the Wali Commune to go to the market. The bazaar is also called the free market.

There is an agreed opening date for the market, but there is no specific opening time.When people gather on the street, the market is open; if there is no one on the street, the market is scattered.

Whether the market is busy or not, popularity plays a decisive role, and the market is only prosperous if it is lively enough.Some of the people who go to the market to sell things now are selling things for the production team, some are selling their own surplus materials, some are handicraft cooperatives and the like, and even some urban commercial departments have gone to the countryside. Of course, there will be people who buy and sell.

When Li Ming arrived, he was already a little popular. He bought 4 young roosters and 2 old hens and put them in cages. The two old hens didn't seem to be laying much eggs.Domestic hens that are specially used to lay eggs will generally be replaced after three or four years.

In the first year, the chicks hatched in spring basically cannot lay eggs after autumn, so most of the domestic chickens did not lay eggs that year.The second year is the peak egg production period, which can produce 100 to 200 eggs, depending on the feeding situation and the temperature and climate.In the third year, the egg production will decrease by more than 20% compared with the second year. If the situation is not good, there will be only 80 or 90 eggs left.At this time, it is not very cost-effective. You can consider stewing the old hen.

Decades later, the egg-laying hens in professional chicken farms will be terrible. They can lay more than 300 eggs a year, and the hens must be replaced after laying eggs for two years.

Li Ming was not in a hurry to leave, some members had to walk for three or four hours to get there, so he planned to wait and see if there were any good things behind.

In the crowded crowd, it is rare for children to watch the excitement. Parents usually tell the children to wait at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative and other places with more signs if they accidentally get separated.

Some people set up iron pans to sell stewed meat. Some children could not walk when they smelled the smell of meat.

It's not all fooling, Li Ming doesn't eat it, it's true that the source of these meats is generally not very formal.

The small restaurant was also very popular during the market, he didn't bother to squeeze in, and with the toffee he brought in his mouth, he looked around to pay attention to the new marketers at the intersection.

The goods traded are mainly agricultural and sideline products, Tute mountain goods, eggs, poultry, pheasants, hares, etc.Outsiders can't buy some materials that are purchased and sold indiscriminately. The sellers may be fellow villagers, and the management and patrol personnel will turn a blind eye; the buyers don't know each other.

"Comrade, how do you sell your dustpan?"

"Where's the sieve?"

"The little mushrooms are very fragrant, what's the price?"

"Give me 5 brooms!"

"Don't go so fast with the chopstick cage, I'll buy chopsticks."

"Are you cherries? There are still cherries at this time. I'll buy some."

Having shopped around before, and probably knew the prices, Li Ming successively bought some mushrooms, dustpans, sieves, brooms, etc., and put them in newly bought baskets.I also bought some cherries, grapes, dates, peaches, and hawthorns, also called Shanlihong.

"My chicken? I'm not a chicken seller. I work for the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and help the factory purchase it." Li Ming was asked several times, scratching his head, dumbfounded.

It is not difficult for the current buyers to complete the task, at least they can buy some in the market. This is a rare and nourishing few years.

In the next year or two, from cities to villages, bazaars will be closed everywhere, and some bazaars will remain.However, the remaining bazaars limit the number of openings, and the items they sell are also subject to various restrictions. For example, the sale of eggs and poultry is sometimes banned in some places.

Anyway, when the limelight is tight, everyone keeps a low profile; after the limelight is over, they are flexible. They are all from the village, after all, they have to live.

Looking at his watch, it was already 10:[-], and there were unlikely to be any sellers coming, so Li Ming decided to go home.

He tied a bunch of things to his bicycle, and drove unsteadily on the way back to the city.

After walking for a while, taking advantage of no one, he put all his things into the small world.

With no burden on his bicycle, he headed for the rolling mill at high speed.

Li Ming returned to the Purchasing Section, "Hello, Section Chief. Sister Li, help me register a list for the wild boar."

Chief Chen and Sister Li all looked at him.

Li Xueyao asked quite consciously, "Xiao Ming, where are you hunting wild boars again?"

Li Ming explained: "Last time, I went hunting with them and asked them how to hunt. I was very strong, so I found a suitable place on the mountain and dug a big hole to cover it. I put some sweet potatoes Vine, cut a taro and put it in the middle of the trap. Good luck, I caught a little wild boar alive."

Li Xueyao took the list, "Xiao Ming, you are really capable."

"Section Chief, Sister Li, do you eat pheasants and hares? When the time comes, I'll keep them for you if I catch them."
