Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 23, why didn’t you think about borrowing money?

The two looked at each other, just looking at each other.

Seeing this, Zhou Ying reacted: "Oh, what year did you say this is? It is November 2022, 11! As for the mobile phone you mentioned, this is it, for making calls."

After saying that, he looked at him with a monster look on his face.

"You don't even know the mobile phone, do you? You know Shan Qiao Dali too!"

After finishing speaking, he thought of something and muttered: "It seems that there are some children in the mountain that I have never seen before."

A self-justifying explanation allowed Wang Qingsong to escape another disaster.

Wang Qingsong heard the time she said and estimated it there.

The difference is more than 63 years.

Why is it so strange!

What world is this.

But he didn't ask. Asking too many questions would easily lead to problems.

When he heard her say that he didn't recognize the mobile phone, he immediately admitted it.

"I've never seen a hand chicken."

Because she just said that there are some people in Shandiao whom she doesn’t know.

But isn’t it supposed to be a telephone to make a call?

There is a post office in the commune.

Zhou Ying nodded slightly when she heard this and asked curiously: "Where is that person from?"

This time Wang Qingsong didn't stupidly mention the specific place, but just said: "I only know that my home is Xinlin Commune, the First Production Brigade, and the Sixth Team."

"Ah? Don't you remember the other ones? There is no place called a commune now!"

"Can not remember."

"What about your ID card?"

Hearing this new name, he was confused for a moment, but he still shook his head expressionlessly: "No."

Not sure what this is.

Work permit or something like that?
  Or a household register or something like that?

Seeing his expression, Zhou Ying muttered: "Is there still a place called a commune now? By the way, what kind of commune did you just say? I'll search it on the navigation system."

"What is the navigation? Is it spoiled? What's spoiled?" Wang Qingsong felt strange in his heart, but he still reported his location honestly, because he had already told him once that day.

"Xinlin Commune."

"Oh, Xinlin? What Xin, what Lin?"

"Old new, new again, forest of woods."

Wang Qingsong reported the commune where he was located, but he still felt a little uneasy.

Because from what she said, there is no longer a commune.

I saw Zhou Ying lowering her head, picking up the "hand chicken" in her hand and playing with it.

After a while, she was surprised: "Hey, is there really a place called a commune? It's been so many years since the reform and opening up, why is it still called a commune?"

"What is reform and opening up?"

Another strange word.

There was no rush to ask, because Zhou Ying was holding the 'hand chicken' and muttering: "I found a few communes called Kyoto Commune, SOCO Commune, Haitang Commune, Youth Commune... But I couldn't find the Xinlin Commune you mentioned. !”

At the end of the sentence she raised her head and looked over.

Wang Qingsong looked at the beautiful face in front of him, his eyes a little afraid to look at it.

"Hey! You're actually blushing!"

Zhou Ying covered her mouth and smiled.

Wang Qingsong was a little embarrassed when he saw this, but he still held back and asked: "By the way, the reform you just mentioned...what is the reform?"

Forgot again for a while.

"Reform and Opening."

"Oh, yes, what is reform and opening up?"

"I have learned this in class. Reform and opening up is reform and opening up~~"

Zhou Ying finished speaking in a daze, then remembered that there seemed to be something wrong with his brain, and hurriedly said: "Oh, I forgot about your injury. Reform and opening up is about internal reform and opening up to the outside world!"

When I saw his confused look, I took out my phone and searched.

I started reading the content on Baidu: "Reform and opening up is, from December 1978..."

Read a paragraph based on the above content.

Wang Qingsong didn't understand the rest, but one word in it shocked him: dividing fields to households. “Well, what’s going on with dividing the fields among households?”

Wang Qingsong asked blankly.

Isn’t everything here collective?

Can we still divide the fields?
  "Yes, starting in 1978, Xiaogang Village in Fengyang County, Huizhou implemented the household responsibility system of "dividing farmland to each household and taking responsibility for its own profits and losses." However, I don't know when the whole country was later divided."

Land distribution in 1978?
  Could it be something that happened after 17 years?
  Thinking of this, he hesitated and asked: "Then have you heard of previous natural disasters?"

Zhou Ying nodded: "Natural disaster in 3 years. Of course I have heard of it! I heard my grandfather say that it happened decades ago. When they first established the commune,... they said that there were people at that time It’s terrible to eat a**.”

Following her words, Wang Qingsong looked shocked.

The same.

Is this really decades from now?

After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she looked at Wang Qingsong who was in a daze and felt strange for a while.

"Hey, why are you in a daze?"

Wang Qingsong came to his senses after hearing this and asked quickly: "Three years? What does three years mean?"

There was a hint of excitement on his face.

You know, it has indeed been three years.

Zhou Ying said matter-of-factly: "It was from 58 to 61, but I heard that the real end would not be good until the autumn harvest of 62, and the summer harvest was not good either."

When Wang Qingsong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over.

But think about it, there’s still more than half a year left!

Looking at Zhou Ying's strange eyes, he knew he couldn't ask any more questions. If he continued to ask questions, he wouldn't know how to respond.

Now I just want to get some food to take back.

This is his purpose.

Then he thought of something and asked, "By the way, are things expensive now?"

"what?"

"Are corn crumbs, rice, flour, and eggs expensive?"

Zhou Ying didn't think much after hearing this, because the boy in front of her was not normal.

But she thought for a moment and replied: "Is corn stubble cornmeal? I don't know about this. It's sold in supermarkets, and we don't usually buy it!

There are good rice and bad rice. The bad rice is probably more than one yuan. I don't know the good rice. The average rice is one or two yuan, and the expensive rice is five or six yuan per catty. I've heard that there are still one or two hundred and one kilograms of rice! But I haven’t seen it, let alone eaten it. Flour only costs one or two yuan a pound. Eggs are a little more expensive now, about 60 yuan a plate, which adds up to about yuan each, which is usually only or cents each. . "

Wang Qingsong was frightened when he heard these prices.

The worst kind of rice costs more than a pound per piece?
  Theirs was only 16 cents, but that was the price for rationed purchases in the city. The price on the black market had risen to 5 yuan a pound, the same price as flour.

And one or two hundred and one kilograms of rice? Who can afford this?

Flour costs 1 or 2 yuan per catty, which is more expensive than the market price there, which is 181 catties. It also requires a face-price ticket.

But it’s cheaper than the black market price of five yuan a pound.

Two eggs each?
  More expensive than theirs.

It’s too expensive. Is there not much food here?
  Are you also affected by the disaster?
  After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Then... where's the meat?"

Meat is also expensive there.

"Pork?"

"Ah."

"Pork is relatively expensive now, it costs more than 20 pounds per pound!"

When Wang Qingsong heard this price, he felt that it was also ridiculously expensive.

Then I didn’t think twice about how to get something.

If I could find a way to get things from here to him in the future, wouldn't I make money?

The cheapest rice and flour are cheaper than there, so you can get them here.

Eggs are much more expensive than theirs, so it's not cost-effective.

The same goes for pork. Even doubling it is not cost-effective.

Rice and flour are still a good deal, and you can earn at least twice as much money!
  Then there was a wry smile on his face, no money.

The whole body costs only 1 yuan, 1 cents and 7 cents, and you can only buy flour or cheap rice for less than a pound. What's the use!
  If I had known better, I would have borrowed some money from my second brother.

Not too much, just ten yuan, and he can earn twenty yuan back.

"Hey!! I didn't expect that. It was a miscalculation."

But who would have thought that they would end up in a place like this!
