back to the turbulent age

Chapter 11, the confession is broken
Holding a writing brush in his hand, Wang Keke asked the old man, "Grandpa, why is he looking for you?"

When she saw the old man's ugly face, she was surprised for a while: "Grandpa, what's wrong with him? Are you angry?"

Although Zhao Chuanliang is not in the same class as her, he still has some contact with her. With some rumors, he should not be bad!

How did you make grandpa angry.

See the old man ignore her.

Wang Keke went back and put down the brush and ran out.

"Bring me back!"

The old man's shout came from behind, but Wang Keke ignored him and ran out.

Wang Keke felt uncomfortable.

unacceptable.

"Zhao Chuanliang, stop for me!"

When he came to the door, Wang Keke looked at Zhao Chuanliang who hadn't gone far and called out.

Hearing the voice, Zhao Chuanliang stopped and turned around curiously: "What's wrong?"

Wang Keke walked up to him quickly, and asked him, "What did you say to my grandpa to make him so angry?"

Zhao Chuanliang touched his nose, blinked his eyes and said: "It's nothing, I want to get some scraps of jade. Someone told me that your grandfather has it, so I came here, and he said no."

He hesitated for a moment, thinking whether to say the irony behind it!

"Oh, what are you talking about? My grandfather had an accident in the imperial capital a few years ago, so he no longer carves jade carvings. There are no scraps at home! There are some jade carvings, but they are things that grandpa carved before. Grandpa wouldn't sell them for a lot of money. How could he give them to you?"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Keke began to complain.

Zhao Chuanliang was surprised: "What happened? What happened?"

Wang Keke also shook his head blankly: "I don't know, every time I ask, grandpa punishes me for writing and doesn't let me ask."

Having said that, her eyes dimmed for a while.

Zhao Chuanliang looked surprised for a while: "What, why didn't you ask? You were punished to stop asking. Why do you pay back every time?"

Wang Keke heard the meaning in the words, it was just looking for smoke!

Without an explanation, he shook his head: "Forget it, it's nothing, it's fine, I thought it was something! You go! I'm going back."

After speaking, he turned his head and left.

When Zhao Chuanliang saw that she had gone back, he hurriedly left, but the other party would come to her again after knowing the situation.

However, Wang Keke's shouting voice just now was really in contrast.

Changed her usual gentle image and turned into a little pepper.

After he came out, he was there thinking about what to do next.

The things in the space have temporarily met his needs, and the rest is to wait in peace.

After thinking about it, he decided to buy what he should buy, and then went back.

Money is not enough to use without supplies, so I still have to go into the mountains and wander around to get a wild boar to eat.This is fundamental.

iron pan!

salt.

Not only people need to eat salt, but pigs also need to eat salt. Although the consumption is not large, they still need some.

Thinking of this, he walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative in the county seat.

At this time, he still had 75 yuan left in his hand.

It's a pity that there is no ticket for the iron pot!
Now that the cafeteria is disbanded, iron pots are in short supply. Let's see if we can exchange two bites of meat.

Try it out and see if it works!

Come to the supply and marketing cooperative, this is a large tile-roofed house with 7 bays in a row, and the main entrance is a cement staircase.

After entering, the inside is also deserted.

The county supply and marketing cooperative is much larger than the commune, and there are countertops in glass cabinets.

There are a total of five or six people inside, chatting and chatting there boredly, knitting sweaters.

When he came to the hardware counter, Zhao Chuanliang greeted with a smile: "Sister Chen! I'm busy! Sister Xu is here too!"

The other party is knitting a sweater.

Looking at the thread, it was removed from the glove.

Chen Xiu'e was chatting with someone when she heard the voice and raised her head.

"Oh, oh, I'm not busy, what's up?"

Seeing that Zhao Chuanliang would not be able to call out his name for a while, it was a bit familiar.

The woman next to him didn't recognize him either, she just smiled and nodded.

Zhao Chuanliang didn't care when he saw this, he just knew the other party's surname, and he hadn't dealt with him before.

After all, the supply and marketing cooperatives don't like the things they made by themselves.

So not hooked.

I looked at the cabinets on the wall and couldn't find the iron pot, so I asked with a smile: "Sister Chen, do you still have the iron pot?"

"Not sold out, the next batch will take a while!"

Hearing this, Zhao Chuanliang was disappointed for a while.

Nodded, "Forget it, I'll go and see the others."

When I came to the place where the seasonings were sold, I bought 1 catties of salt for 5 cents a catty, and bought 5 catty of soy sauce and vinegar each.

But he didn't have a bottle, so he bought two salt water bottles for 2 cents.

If you don’t have an iron pot, you have to use it. I saw that there was a casserole sold next to it. There was no ticket for this thing, so I bought the largest size for two.

It cost three yuan and 6 cents.

Others he just looked at.

Basically, tickets are required. As for food, the shelves are there for good use, and the inside is basically empty.

The rest did not buy any more.

It's too heavy to go out with something in your arms.

Before I went out, I heard someone wailing, "How can I live this way! There will be no meat at all in the future."

Zhao Chuanliang stopped and looked over curiously.

"What? There is no ration of meat in the future?"

"Yeah, it's only issued to people with special needs, not to the market..."

After listening for a while, Zhao Chuanliang understood.

There was no meat before, and pork was not put in. Instead of meat, chicken, duck, fish, canned meat, cooked products, etc. that were not required before were used.

With meat tickets, you can only buy fish and other meat substitutes.

Now even these meat substitutes are gone, and they are only supplied to people with special needs, such as patients, pregnant women, infants, and athletes, and the quantity is very small.

It means that ordinary people directly cut off their confessions.

As for eggs, they were not put on the market last year.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Chuanliang was also grateful for his quick operation. No wonder the other party was anxious to give the things away in the morning.

Still not bad.

It may be too late to catch wild boars.

In other words, meat, poultry, fish and eggs in the market will disappear from people's tables from today.

Zhao Chuanliang felt lucky at this time, but also felt sad.

He had seen this before in his previous life, but he didn't know the specific implementation time, only heard that it took nearly a year to resume a small amount of delivery.

I didn't care about these anymore, and quietly left the supply and marketing cooperative with the things in my hand.

Then walked towards home.

Seeing that no one was paying attention on the way, he quietly put the things into the space.

Stopping and stopping along the way, I cut a lot of pigweed, crushed it and mixed it with rice bran for the pigs to eat.

Zhao Chuanliang was deeply afraid that these pigs would die if they ate like this.

Walking on the road, from time to time, you can see trucks hunting hogweed and some wild vegetables.

Don't overthink it.

Taking these things back is not for feeding pigs.

Instead, break things up, mix corn cobs, rice bran, corn stalks, and a small amount of soybean meal powder, and process them into food substitutes.

For people to eat, it is divided into coarse grain series.

This is the case in the city, and it is the same in the countryside. When the winter is slack, we must start preparing these things.

The corncobs prepared by my mother are prepared for grinding. It is estimated that what the family eats at noon today may be pure corncobs.

Sure enough, when he returned home, the family went to work in the fields.

There is still some corn cob flour in the pot, not much, about a bowl or so.

Maybe it was because he was worried about his return, so he specially left it for him.

Zhao Chuanliang sighed.

Most of the food was taken away by myself, and the family members must not dare to eat any more, so they can only eat these to make ends meet.

I was still hesitating whether to go to the city or go for a walk in the mountains, but now I feel that it is right for me to come back.

What is there to do in town.

There will be opportunities later.

What I have to do now is to improve the food at home and wait for the food in the space to mature, then it is time to flex my muscles.

The main problem was that he didn't have anything in his hand, even if he went to the city to exchange the meat for food, it wouldn't be able to exchange much. After all, the price of food is also very high now.

Bringing back tens of catties or hundreds of catties will not change the status quo.

If they want to eat cornmeal at home, they can only eat it safely when the grain in the space is ripe and sufficient.

Looking at the contents of the pot, Zhao Chuanliang did not move.

It was already ten in the afternoon, and he was also very hungry.

He had to eat enough to go into the mountains. This time his goal was a deeper place, a place where bandits used to gather, and the bandits were wiped out later.

There are deep mountains in deep mountains.

It is also the most dangerous place nearby. It has become a habitat for wild beasts, and few people dare to go in.

But for him, it is a back garden.

He made up his mind that he was going to go into the space to cook a meal, and then set off after he was full.

The house is not safe, and I am worried that the family members will come back suddenly.

So I prepared to go out and find a safe place to enter the space.

Came outside and walked for a while, and came to the team headquarters.

"I didn't steal! I didn't steal!"

While he was thinking, there was an aggrieved and noisy voice from the team headquarters' house, which made Zhao Chuanliang frowned.

Big brother's voice.

Then hurriedly walked towards the team headquarters.

When I came here, there were quite a few people in the compound, and the eldest brother was squatting there reluctantly.
