Wearing the shopping mall through the 70s

Chapter 5 No food

Since they are all out, why not buy some pheasants and treat them as your own to improve the food at home?Although Wang is a bit fussy, her cheap mother still treats him very well, and her brothers at home still let her go.

Just do it, Shen Ruoqing immediately released a pheasant.In the system mall, this pheasant is more expensive than domestic chicken. Such a two and a half kilogram pheasant cost Shen Ruoqing five yuan!The moment it was released, Shen Ruoqing immediately pounced on it. Fortunately, the pheasant didn't run away.

"Sanya! Look!"

"Pheasant! Pheasant! Sister! Catch it quickly, don't let it escape!" Shen Xue exclaimed and hurried over to help. The two of them finally subdued the pheasant.

After tying the pheasant's legs, Shen Xue once again lamented how lucky her sister-in-law was. Maybe her sister-in-law was really a lucky star as Nai said.

"Sister-in-law, let's go back." Shen Xue said after putting the pheasant at the bottom of the bamboo basket and covering it with wild vegetables. In the afternoon, she would go hunting for pigweed to earn centimeters.

"It's getting late, let's go back."

After this trip, Shen Ruoqing made a total of 43 yuan and 48 cents. He originally earned 61 yuan and [-] cents, but he spent [-] yuan on the pheasant.Including the last deposit, she now still has [-] yuan and [-] cents! (Eggs cost two cents each)
Unexpectedly, I made more than 40 yuan in just one morning!
A formal job in the city only costs more than 30 yuan a month!
In rural areas, you may not be able to save more than 40 yuan throughout the year!She made more than 40 yuan this morning!
"Milk, we're back!" Shen Xue was a child after all, and her emotions and anger were all expressed on her face. She happily placed the basket in the middle of the yard and closed the door.

"Milk, what do you think this is?"

Wang took a look and saw that they were all miscellaneous wild vegetables and some weeds that were not edible at all. She sneered: "It's just some weeds, what else can there be?"

"Pheasant! My sister-in-law caught a pheasant and it's so fat!"

what?
pheasant?

Mrs. Ji pulled the bamboo basket and revealed the contents.

She picked up the pheasant: "This must be more than two kilograms. It's bigger than the one we brought from Sun's house last time. Do you think Guobao caught it?"

"No, I saw with my own eyes that my sister-in-law caught the pheasant just by grabbing it! My sister-in-law is really amazing!"

Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Shen Ruoqing.

"Mom, I'm just lucky!"

"Oh, my dear, I will say that my dear has a lucky star!"

Mrs. Ji praised Shen Ruoqing again and again, "Just right, this chicken can help you replenish your body again!"

Mrs. Wang was a little dissatisfied: "Mom, I think my little sister is almost fine."

"It's almost done. Did you catch this chicken? Are you just pointing here? Didn't you see such a big hole? How can it be done if you don't mend it? As I said, you can let it go later. The boss's wife slaughtered the chicken when she came back. Don't even drink the soup this time!"

Wang's belly has been around for more than eight months. It may be due to lack of nutrition. Her face is sallow and her belly is not that bulging. When she heard this, she became even more unhappy.

“Mom, it’s okay if I don’t drink, but it’s okay if your sweet grandson in my belly doesn’t drink!”

"Mom, I was a little tired of the chicken soup last time. Let's eat it together this time." Shen Ruoqing said.

"Why do you still get tired of drinking chicken soup? Darling, are you really tired of it?" Shen Ruoqing nodded.In fact, she wasn't really tired of it, it was just that she also wanted Mrs. Ji to try chicken soup.

"Then I'll sell it tomorrow to get some food."

Because Shen Ruoqing and the others went to dig wild vegetables today, and today's lunch was just pureed wild vegetables, Qingzhuang Laoli and Shen Ruoqing were able to divide another half of the sweet potato.

In the afternoon, Shen Xue was going to hunt pigweed, and Shen Ruoqing went to the dry well to dig for medicinal materials alone.I made another 60 yuan this afternoon.The main reason is that I discovered that the purchase price of new medicinal materials is relatively high, five yuan and two per catty. Plus other miscellaneous items, I made 60 yuan.She now has 121.74 yuan!The two cents missing were because she bought another bun to eat.

When he came back in the evening, Shen Ruoqing bought a few bird eggs for 4 cents and went back.

Naturally, all these eggs went into Shen Ruoqing's stomach.Mrs. Wang could have been divided into two, but her behavior today made Mrs. Ji very unhappy, so she didn't get any.

Shen Ruoqing originally wanted to use the bird eggs to replenish Mrs. Ji's body, but she didn't expect that after the sweet potato incident last time, she, a cheap mother, became wary of her. She didn't succeed, so she had to eat all her own eggs with tears in her eyes. .

After all, it’s because of poverty!Shen Ruoqing is determined to slowly change Mrs. Ji, so that every time she eats a little bit of food, she has to fight with her in a battle of wits and courage.

It's June now and it's extremely hot.Early in the morning, Mrs. Ji came to wake Shen Ruoqing up.

There is no way, there is still a long way to go to the city. This is not the New Year, and there is no car to the city in the village that is not the festival.If you want to go to the city, you have to walk on your own feet.

Shen Ruoqing was excited, got up quickly, washed up, and followed Mrs. Ji on the way to the city.

"My dear, eat something to cushion your stomach." Mrs. Ji took out a handful of dried sweet potatoes and stuffed them into Shen Ruoqing's arms.

There was no breakfast at their house at this time, but walking would consume a lot of energy, so Mrs. Ji prepared a handful of dried sweet potatoes.

"Mom, you eat too."

The road to the city was not close, and even though Shen Ruoqing had walked very quickly, it still took him more than two hours to get there.Fortunately, they set off early.Shen Ruoqing didn't know the exact time without a watch, but when he came to the city and looked at the big clock in the middle of the People's Square, he knew that it was already 07:30 in the morning.

It was also Shen Ruoqing who walked too slowly. If Mrs. Ji was alone, she would have reached the city in less than two hours.

Facing this city in the 60s, Shen Ruoqing was still very curious. He looked here and there, just like a country bumpkin.The city was much more run-down than she had imagined. The faces of the people walking on the street also looked pale, as if they hadn't eaten enough. In addition to the fact that their clothes had fewer patches than Shen Ruoqing and Mrs. Ji, she also I don't see any difference between these city people and their country people.

"Good boy, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative first."

Mrs. Ji took Shen Ruoqing to a supply and marketing cooperative selling vegetables, rice, salt and oil.

"What, why don't you have any rice? No sweet potatoes or corn?" Mrs. Ji screamed. She came so early just to buy some food, but now there is no food to sell to her.

"This month's food supply has been exhausted. If you want to buy food, come early next month!" The attitude of the staff of the supply and marketing cooperative was not as bad as Shen Ruoqing imagined, but it was not friendly either.

"Food is in short supply everywhere now. All the food was sold out two days ago. Old lady, please come early next month!"

Sure enough, the food counter was empty.
