Wearing the shopping mall through the 70s

Chapter 76 Empty Shell
It was agreed that everyone would take out the dried mushrooms, home-made vermicelli and other things during this period, and less eggs, because everyone felt that the price given for the purchase was lower, and some people would rather make their own next time. Take it to the supply and marketing cooperative on foot to sell it.

Shen Ruoqing also understands these.However, it is always inconvenient to take the eggs to sell by yourself every time. I believe that it will not be long before the villagers get used to this method of selling.

The accountant of the brigade counted the items and put them all on the tractor. There were a few extra egg trays, but Shen Ruoqing also accepted them. She thought they could be sold to the supply and marketing cooperative.The oversized frame was covered with shock-absorbing quilts, and plates of eggs were placed inside, and then tied with shock-absorbing ropes to secure them.Surrounded by sacks are sacks of dried mushrooms and vermicelli, which also act as shock-proofers.I shook it tentatively and saw that there was no problem.After putting away his things, Shen Xiangxi and Shen Ruoqing were ready to set off.

"Xiangxi, there are eggs here. You have to drive the tractor steadily and be careful not to break the eggs." Captain Tang warned.

"Don't worry, I'll drive slower." Shen Xiangxi shook the tractor's starting handle with his hand, making a chugging sound.

Captain Tang watched the tractor go away.

Go to the supply and marketing cooperative warehouse and Shen Ruoqing reconciles the delivery.

When getting off the car, Shen Ruoqing checked it and found that there was very little damage and was within the expected range.The person who delivered the goods to Shen Ruoqing was also very satisfied and settled the money after ordering the goods.The egg tray was also appreciated by Director Wang. With a wave of his hand, he paid two cents each.

Shen Ruoqing was very satisfied and went back empty-handed. She used all the tickets Shen Xiangbei gave her last time and bought a bunch of things.When I passed by the meat stall, I bought a few bones that were free of charge. As for the meat stalls that were free of charge, they had already been robbed.But when going back, Shen Ruoqing brought a fat chicken caught from space.

"Little sister, where did you get this chicken?" Shen Xiangxi asked.

"I just met a fellow countryman, and I got it in exchange for something." The chicken stewed with mushrooms last time was delicious. Mrs. Ji saw that Shen Ruoqing likes to eat mushrooms, and there were quite a few unsold at home, so she just happened to make another small meal. Chicken stew with mushrooms.

When they returned to Dashou Village, a group of people were greeting Shen Xiangxi and asking them if their shopping went well. Shen Xiangbei first sent the little girl home, and then went to Captain Tang with the empty basket and money.

The money was divided in the evening.The villagers who got the money were very happy. Mrs. Ji was praised by several old ladies, not to mention how proud she was.

Mrs. Ji returned home happily. Shen Xiangnan, Shen Xiangdong and Du Shi were making egg trays. Shen Xiangdong's legs had grown big and he could walk on his own.Mrs. Ji stipulated that she could keep [-]% of the extra work she took on. In this way, she would have a penny for weaving ten egg trays. Mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. A little bit is worth a little bit.

Mr. Han was cooking, and he was making the chicken stewed with mushrooms that Shen Ruoqing had been thinking about.

During this period, under Shen Ruoqing's intentional or unintentional guidance, Han's cooking skills also improved.

The chicken and mushrooms stewed with Lingquan water are extra fresh, and the soup made with big bones is also delicious.

"Sister-in-law, your skills are as good as those of state-owned hotels." Shen Ruoqing gave a thumbs up.

"How can I compare to the master chef of a state-owned restaurant? You are the only one with a sweet mouth." Mr. Han smiled sheepishly.

Because mushrooms can now be sold for money, everyone goes to the mountains to pick mushrooms when they have free time. The mushrooms at the foot of the mountains have long been harvested, and many people even set foot on the outside of the mountains.

With this income, life in Dashuitou Village has obviously improved a little. Every now and then, someone smells the smell of meat, and Shen Ruoqing doesn't have to be so secretive about eating meat.

A few days later, a big event happened: Sun Taohua actually got engaged to Lin Chen.

This thing was unexpected, but it was reasonable.I heard that Mrs. Sun saw the two of them cuddling and forced her to go to the Lin family to ask for an explanation. Then the Lin family had to accept the marriage.Because of this incident, Sun Taohua's reputation became very bad. In fact, there were many people in the village who admired Lin Chen, but the conditions of these girls were average, and Lin Chen didn't like them.But as soon as this incident came out, everyone called Sun Taohua shameless.

Sun Taohua is two years older than Shen Ruoqing. She is 17 years old this year, but she is not yet an adult.The Lin family used the excuse that Sun Taohua was not yet an adult, so they just asked the two families to make an appointment, saying that they would discuss the marriage in two years.

Shen Ruoqing secretly laughed in her heart. Lin Chen was tricked this time. After much deliberation, Lin Chen would not be willing to marry a country girl. He only wanted to go to the city, and now he was engaged to Sun Taohua. He didn't know What happens next?

Sun Taohua was very happy. Although her reputation was bad, as long as she could be with Lin Chen, her bad reputation would be bad. She didn't care.

Time passed quickly, and it was May in a blink of an eye. Du's belly was getting bigger and bigger. Her due date was July. It rained non-stop in the first half of the year, and she had to comb the ditches many times.

The ears of rice grown from those improved rice varieties were plentiful and plump. At first, everyone praised the foreign products for being so good, but they also complained that Liu Xinyi was too busy and caused them to plant less. This year's advanced brigade would not be rated.

Captain Tang and deputy captain Qi, the village party secretary, came together to inspect the rice fields wearing straw hats. They were relieved that there was finally a good harvest.

"It looks like this is really a good breed!"

"I'm telling you, Captain, you are too careful. If we listen to me and grow all kinds of good seeds like the Red Flag Brigade and others, we won't have to worry about food." Vice Captain Qi said.

The village party secretary touched his goatee: "It's better to be cautious. It can be seen that this seed has a high yield. It won't be too late for us to plant more in the second half of the year. It's just a pity that there has been too much rain this year, and the corn needs Production has been greatly reduced.”

As they were talking, they saw Shen Xiangdong walking towards them with a serious look on his face.

"Village party secretary, team leader, there is really something wrong with this so-called improved rice seed!" Shen Xiangdong was holding a small handful of rice ears.

"What? What's the problem with this?" Captain Tang felt like he was losing his balance, and the smile froze on his face.

"These rice grains are all empty husks! The so-called improved seeds are all fake!"

He took a few steps forward and snatched the rice ears from Shen Xiangdong's hand. He took out one at random and pinched it gently. It was empty!
After a moment, he frowned and picked another one without giving up.This one is also empty.

Captain Tang did not speak, but his clenched palms were already sweating.The village party secretary also stepped forward and pulled one out. When he pinched it, it was empty again!

"Lao Tang, I'm afraid I'm confused because of the sun. Why are there no rice grains in this paddy?"

After pinching several grains in succession, I finally pinched out a snow-white rice grain.

No one spoke, but everyone was shaking faintly, and the village party secretary fell directly to sit on the ridge of the field.

"Don't be afraid, we only planted half of it..." Captain Tang murmured to himself, as if this was the only way to bring him some comfort.
