back to the turbulent age

Chapter 28, none of my business

The two were waiting there, and the others had already left.

Captain Zhao Zhengzheng and Li Youtian muttered there for a while, leaving behind their second uncle Zhao Tiezhu and several militiamen, who also left one after another.

The captain came to the two of them, gestured to them, and walked towards the house.

He still had a lantern in his hand.

In the dark, the three of them came to the compound in front of the captain's house by means of a lantern, but did not go in.

Zhao happened to look around, and asked Zhao Chuanliang seriously, "Liangzi, tell me the truth, where did this thing come from?"

As a person who has dealt with food for decades.

As soon as he tasted it, he could tell that there was something wrong with the grain bricks. It was a good thing. Except for the color, it was almost the same as flour.

The problem was that it was so cheap, which made him a little uneasy.

Zhao Chuanliang looked at his father, then turned around and said, "Grandpa Ninth, I bought the things in the city. I met him when I went to the city to get food. I only know his nickname, and I don't know anything else."

Hearing this, the captain hesitated for a while.

This price is actually very cheap, but there is some money in the team, which is also borrowed by the production team from the commune, and used to find ways to buy food outside.

Not only their team, but also other production teams who are particularly short on food do this.

The higher-ups don't care, anyway, there is only so much money, and how much food you can get is your own business.

It will be paid back later.

Zhao Zhengzheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can this grain brick be inspected when you buy it?"

Zhao Chuanliang nodded: "Yes!"

Speaking of inspection, in fact, it is to split the grain bricks to see if there is dirt or other things hidden inside.

Then put a little in your mouth and taste it.

When Zhao happened to hear this, he thought for a while and said, "Alright, Liangzi, you've been smart since you were a child. Please contact me about this matter. If you have any news, you can send a telegram, and the money production team will send it."

Zhao Chuanliang nodded: "Okay, no problem, but let me say it first, I will not participate in this matter, and when the time comes, you will bring people to trade, and you will check the food clearly. If you make a profit or lose money, it is none of my business.

After all, I only bought it once.

By the way, how much do you want, I will ask in advance if there are so many things. "

And this kind of thing can only be a one-shot deal.

The chances of a second time are slim.

Zhao just didn't know why Zhao Chuanliang didn't participate in such a good thing. It would be prestige to the village in the future, and whoever got the food would have prestige.

But he didn't ask carefully, thought for a while, and finally said: "It's 2500 yuan, no more."

Zhao Chuanliang calculated in his mind, that is, 5000 grain bricks, less than 10 yuan per person, or 40 catties.

But he also knew that the production team would definitely borrow food from other places, that is, sweet potatoes, otherwise, with the output of their Zhuangzi, it is estimated that people would be like cutting leeks.

It fell down one after another.

Borrow a little, buy a little, and each of the Eight Immortals crosses the sea to get some, and they can barely fool the winter.

It's just that the health will be poor, and it depends on who can survive it.

Then he nodded: "Alright then, I'll ask you guys when I go to the city, and I'll send you a telegram if I have any news."

"Hey, okay, you have to take it to heart!"

"Don't worry, Grandpa Ninth, then I'll go back first! I have to go to school early!"

"Okay, go back."

After a few people agreed, they separated.

Zhao Tiegen happily walked towards the house holding the lantern, and Zhao Chuanliang followed behind.

"Father, what are you happy about?"

Zhao Tiegen looked at it and said with a smile: "The captain said, the two custodians have come down this time, let me make one, and the other one for the Sun family."

Zhao Chuanliang smiled when he heard this.

The custodian is counted in the team committee and is responsible for the physical distribution of the whole team. It is half-time, full of work points, and the work is easy.

Being in the production team can be regarded as an honorable job.

Back home, Yang Huaihua hadn't slept yet and was packing his things.

Seeing the two of them coming back, Yang Huaihua urged: "Hurry up and go to sleep, you have to go to the city in the middle of the night! You won't be able to sleep for a few hours."

Zhao Chuanliang nodded.

I have to go to school before class, usually I set off last night, but now I can only set off at night in advance.

On the chair in the main room is the quilt prepared for him by the old lady, which was taken apart and washed after the last vacation.

Zhao Chuanliang wanted to say that he was not in a hurry, and it would be fine to set off during the day tomorrow.

But in the end he agreed and went to sleep in the house.

After entering, several people had already fallen asleep.

He took off his clothes and got on the kang, and fell asleep in a daze.

Not knowing what time it is, Yang Huaihua came over and pushed him: "Get up, it's getting late, eat something before leaving."

Zhao Chuanliang nodded, got up, and put on the clothes and shoes prepared yesterday.

The only pair of cloth shoes with patches.

As for the clothes, it must be the ragged padded jacket with patches, and I am used to it after wearing it for so long.

After washing and finishing, I ate a little bit of the mush made from yesterday's grain bricks, and went out with my things on my back.

He didn't keep any more food at home, anyway, he should come back after a few days of vacation.

Damn, it sucks to have no time.

He didn't know how long he slept, he was very sleepy anyway.

After thinking for a while, he went straight into the space and slept for a while.

After waking up, I took out the noodles cooked in the space and started to eat them, they were still hot!
While eating, looking at the bright things in the space, I felt awkward for a while.

I can't sleep well.

I have to find some time to get some wood to build a house, so that it will not be so bright when I sleep.

But don't worry.

After eating and drinking enough, he fed some grain to the animals and collected the eggs from the pheasants.

There are 8 pieces in total, including the eggs laid yesterday evening.

Zhao Chuanliang estimated the elapsed time based on the eggs.

More than two hours outside is almost equivalent to one day, and the eggs laid by two chickens are separated by three rounds.

That is, about six hours, and I eat around five o'clock.

In other words, the current time may be around [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] at night, provided that the chickens lay eggs regularly.

And I have been walking for more than half an hour.

Calculated in this way, even if I have just slept for about ten hours, it will be around four o'clock when I arrive in the city.

too early……

Hey, sighed, put on the padded jacket, and added enough food for the animals for a day.

The wild boar has been put in for more than a day, but I can't see any major changes, but it must have grown meat.

And the first three little pigs have grown up to more than a circle, after all, it has been three days since they were put in.

When the food is full, it is equivalent to 30 days of growth.

It is estimated that there are already more than 40 catties. It seems that these grains are not in vain.

Zhao Chuanliang looked at the domestic pig, and following his thoughts, a boar was cut open, and two balls and a pipe were pulled out.

Suddenly, there was a scream from the boar.

Uncastrated piglets grow slowly and taste fishy, ​​which is why an extra boar was acquired.

One pair is enough for breeding.

After observing for a while, it was determined that there was nothing wrong with the boar, so he left the space and rushed outside.

There is no militia blocking the road.

Came to the city in the dark.

Standing at the gate of the school, he hesitated for a while, feeling that he had nothing to buy, and finally went directly to the school.

He was going to visit Sijiu City in the next day.

When he came to the school gate, the gate was locked, but he couldn't help it, and the wall next to him could be turned over.

I didn't do much before.

Without alarming the doorman, he entered the school with ease and walked directly to the dormitory.

The schools are all tile-roofed buildings. Except for the two-story teaching building, which is newly built, the others are old buildings.

Along the road in the school, he came to the door of his dormitory.

Pushed it, didn't push it away, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Who?"

A familiar voice of inquiry came from inside, and after a while the light was turned on and a teenager opened the dilapidated wooden door.

The other party had short hair and was wearing a ragged cotton jacket.

Li Lei, a classmate of the same grade and a different class.

The height is about 1.6 meters seven.

Li Lei narrowed his eyes and took a look: "Liangzi, why did you come here so late, why didn't you come yesterday."

"There is something at home that delays Li. Go to sleep."

Zhao Chuanliang looked at him and smiled.

This point is indeed too early.

Li Lei didn't have time to talk to him, so he plunged into the bed and went to sleep.

The room is very small, only about ten square meters, and there are three bunk beds in total, but there are not enough people.

Plus he is 4.

Coming to the lower berth on the far side, Zhao Chuanliang hugged the sweet boy who was sleeping on the lower berth.

"Hey, lunatic, got up and peed."

Sun Feng, a class member, is also his best friend here.

The people who live here are all from the countryside, and they basically bring a quilt. When it's cold in winter, two people sleep on the same quilt.

Sun Feng turned his head and glanced at him in a daze.

With a sad face: "I'm sick, why are you calling me when you go to sleep! Did you bring food, and go to bed if you didn't bring it, and you have to go to work in the fields tomorrow!"

Zhao Chuanliang chuckled: "I didn't bring it. Did you bring it?"

"Did not bring!"

When Sun Feng heard that there was no food to eat, he immediately lost interest. After speaking, he turned his head and faced inward, and people also moved inward.

This is to make room for him to enter the bed!
Seeing this, Zhao Chuanliang smiled, turned off the light, took off his clothes, and got into bed.

As for what Sun Feng said about harvesting food, it was naturally the school's food.

In difficult times, the school naturally opened up wasteland, three crops in two years, and the harvest was late this year, so we can only plant again in the spring of next year.

I just fell asleep, and now I feel a little sleepy.
