Chapter 27

As they walked, the three of them arrived at the pig market.

The pig market is not state-run, but those who sell pigs must obtain a permit before they can enter, and those who have nothing to do with it can't get near here.And private trading will be regarded as speculation.

"Let's go and see Zhang Chenguo and the others." Lu Jianbin said hastily.

When they first entered Wudu Town, Qin Lu, Qin Guowen, Zhang Chengguo, and Li Jiangang went directly to Wudu Town from the trail.Zhang Zhanguo came here on purpose to buy piglets to raise.Because there was a young man in the village next door who turned in to the collective for raising pigs and was successful in re-education, so he was recommended to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.Zhang Zhanguo wanted to go back to the city wholeheartedly, so he wanted to try any way he heard.

"Could they have already left?" Ye Qiu asked suspiciously.

"Zhang Zhanguo is a tangled person, so he probably didn't leave."

"Comrade, buy pigs, and sell them at Xiangyin (cheaper)." The pig seller seemed to have seen the world, and his eyes were poisonous. Seeing Ye Qiu and the other three, he hurriedly said, "There is a comrade in Shilong Village. , I fed three pigs a year, made great contributions, passed the re-education, and now I am recommended to go to college, comrade, do you want to come to two? As long as you raise pigs, you will be able to return to the city soon."

Shilong Village is a village not far from Jianshe Village.Unexpectedly, the deeds of the young man raising pigs spread here.

Lu Jianbin was bored, turned to one side, and joked, "What kind of pig do you buy! Taoshen!"

"Look at you, you are a cub who wants to take root in the countryside and make revolution for the rest of his life."

Lu Jianbin said angrily: "You have only taken root for a lifetime."

"Don't worry, you cub, I know you don't want to take root for a lifetime, so you have to feed pigs even more."

"Why?"

"Why? In order not to be rooted for the rest of my life. Do you need to be recommended by poor and lower-middle peasants when recruiting? Do you need to be recommended for college? But why should people recommend you? How useful is it to do light work points? The most important thing is to see if you have rooted The idea of ​​rural areas is, 'If you don't take root, feed the pigs a few roots'. If you feed the pigs, you will have a good idea to take root in the countryside. If you feed the pigs, ask the cadres to drink to eat meat. The cadres eat your meat. I don't recommend it. You are all embarrassed."

"Oh!" Lu Jianbin looked thoughtful.

Ye Qiu was speechless, it was fun to play tricks, if Lu Jianbin knew how to feed pigs, Ye Qiu's name would be his surname.Not wanting to follow such a person, Ye Qiu searched for Zhang Zhanguo and the others in the pig market.

"Fifth sister-in-law, brother Zhang and the others are there." Younger sister Tang Guizhi suddenly tugged on Ye Qiu's sleeve.

Ye Qiu saw it too, and dragged Tang Guizhi over.Lu Jianbin also stopped teasing the old man and strode after him.The old man was so angry that he cursed for a while.

Qin Lu's breath was full of pig manure, and her heart was so irritable that she was about to jump up.But seeing Qin Guowen's faint expression, he endured it again.But when Zhang Zhanguo wandered around the whole pig farm picking and choosing.Qin Lu's complexion looked bad, so she pulled Qin Guowen, "Brother Qin, can we go shopping in the street first, I haven't seen Wudu Town yet."

Zhang Chengguo and Li Jiangang are too boring, and they are picky about buying a pig.Wandering around this stinking place for half a day.Qin Guowen actually wanted to leave a long time ago, but because of face, he couldn't take the initiative to propose.After hearing Qin Lu's words, she quickly turned to Zhang Chengguo, who was still picking pigs, "Qin Lu is going outside to have a look and do some shopping, and I'll accompany her there first."

"Okay, okay, you guys go." Zhang Chenguo glanced at Qin Lu, who was holding her nose, and said with a clear heart.

So when Qin Lu and Qin Guowen walked out, they happened to meet Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi who were walking towards them.

Seeing Ye Qiu, Qin Guowen's mood fluctuated a little, but he endured it and walked away from Ye Qiu pretending to be nonchalant.Ye Qiu was fine and walked over calmly.

Lu Jianbin said a few words to Qin Guowen, and then agreed to meet at Zhenzikou and go back together.

When Ye Qiu came to Zhang Chengguo, he happened to hear that Zhang Chengguo had chosen two pigs and was asking the price.

"A lot of money?"

"Triangle is one catty, one is eight catties and one tael, and one is seven catties. It's only weighed. It's four yuan and fifty cents. Seeing that you are a real person, give four yuan and fifty cents, and the pig will be yours."

"Can you have less?"

"I can't, I can't. If you look at the pigs here, they all sell at almost the same price."

"Boss, the piglets are dead, and you still sell them so high." Ye Qiu said suddenly.

"What are you talking about, girl." The pig seller was a little annoyed.

"We are together, you sell so high, why don't you let me bargain." Ye Qiu continued, "It's really not worth buying a pig, look at how small the piglet is, how much pig weed it takes to raise it Ah, and it’s not enough to just eat pigweed, you have to mix it with rice bran to grow fat. You see, people can eat rice bran, but it’s not worthwhile to feed it to pigs?” After a pause, “If we don’t sell it , it’s also a burden for you to bring back. So, can you have less?”

"You girl is really good at talking. It can't be less." After a pause, "otherwise I'd rather take it back and eat it."

"Twenty-eight cents is twenty-eight cents." Zhang Chenguo said hurriedly, and then took out the money.Ye Qiu could only sigh. In fact, it could be bought for twenty-five cents, but Zhang Chengguo was in a hurry.Forget it, she didn't pay for it anyway.

The pig seller saw that Zhang Chenguo was straightforward, so he was also generous and gave Zhang Zhanguo the bamboo basket where the pigs were kept.

A group of people came out of the pig market.When the old pig seller at the door saw this group of people, he was furious, and when Lu Jianbin passed by, he gave him an angry look.

Lu Jianbin walked over indifferently.

Everyone didn't have anything to buy, so they proposed to meet at the entrance of the town.

Ye Qiu thought about the various bills on his body and the situation of the Tang family, and found that many bills could be exchanged, which happened to be available for the family.So I dragged Yaomei Tang Guizhi to go shopping again.Lu Jianbin didn't follow this time, he and Li Jianguo took all the things Ye Qiu bought with them.

"Where do you buy the lantern and batteries?"

"Sister-in-law Wu, do you have a lantern ticket and a battery ticket?" Tang Guizhi was a little surprised, "Do you have a big flashlight?"

There is no electricity in Jianshe Village. The villagers generally use kerosene lamps in their homes, and those who are richer use horse lamps.When going out, most of them are holding torches, and if conditions are good, they will use large flashlights.

"There are horse lantern tickets and battery tickets, and they are issued by the village in accordance with state regulations." Ye Qiu smiled. "There are no big flashlights. But let's go buy one."

"That's very expensive." Tang Guizhi shook his head, "It costs more than 20 yuan each. If you have a torch ticket, a torch industrial ticket will do. Unfortunately, only those who have to work in the city will be issued." Pause , "Fifth sister-in-law, let's forget it, I also heard that the big flashlight wasted batteries."

Ye Qiu shook his head, it's better to buy one, in case you have to walk at night, a torch is better than a torch, "Take me to see it first."

Tang Guizhi nodded, and took Ye Qiu to a store that said State-owned Grocery Store.

The state-run grocery store is a store that combines non-staple food and tools.More than a dozen staff members wore blue coats issued by grocery stores, with sleeves on their arms, and greeted the villagers who were shopping.

Ye Qiu saw oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, eggs, sugar, cigarettes, white wine, etc. used in daily life, as well as some daily tools: flashlight, lantern, tea tray, hot water bottle, iron porcelain basin, needle and thread, etc. for daily household use.

I walked around the daily life area, changed two catties of kerosene, then went to the tool area, changed the lantern and battery.

Tang Guizhi held the lantern and battery and looked at it over and over as if looking at something strange.

Ye Qiu smiled, and then said to the salesperson, "Comrade, I don't have a flashlight industrial coupon, can I buy a flashlight?"

"Yes, 25 yuan each." The price is a bit expensive, but Ye Qiu thought about it, and he still thinks he should buy one, as well as the horse lantern.

The lantern was prepared by Ye Qiu for her mother-in-law and her father-in-law, who have always used kerosene lamps.The kerosene lamp is made of a glass bottle, and the fire is exposed outside, which is very dangerous.Every time I saw them brought upstairs, I felt sweaty in my heart, for fear that the house would be set on fire.Although the horse lantern is also a kerosene lamp, there is a glass cover outside the outer wick, which is much safer.

"Why is it so expensive? Our village bought it for only 21."

The salesperson glanced at Tang Guizhi indifferently, "This is a Shanghai brand, look at this sign." His tone was arrogant and contemptuous.

Tang Guizhi blushed.

Ye Qiu was also a little angry, but the salespersons in the state-run stores now have the same attitude. He took a deep breath to hold back the anger, "How much is the lantern?"

"Thirteen."

After paying the money quickly, Ye Qiu brought another catty of white wine for his father-in-law and left the grocery store.The two went to the pork shop again, and after exchanging pork tickets for two catties of pork, Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi walked towards the entrance of the town with a full load.

When passing by a state-run waste station, Ye Qiu threw the things to Yaomei, and then got in.Inside, Ye Qiu found many good things.Carved wooden beds and screens, tables and chairs.Although there are some missing arms and legs, these are all antiques.There are still vases, porcelain bowls and so on in the corner.But because Yaomei is outside, it is difficult for her to buy it and put it in the space. She thinks she can only come to town when she finds time later.

After searching for a while, Ye Qiu found a lot of comic books and comic books, as well as some clothes tailoring books.A few comic books and comic books were placed in the space.I bought three books on clothing tailoring, namely "Clothing Tailoring for Workers, Peasants and Soldiers" published by Xiangjiang Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Garment Factory, "Clothing Sewing Process Operation" compiled by S Provincial Garment General Factory, and "Clothing Quantity" published by Southern Garment General Factory Research Compilation. Cutting Basics".

It cost more than one yuan in total, and I thought about going back to learn how to make clothes with my mother-in-law.However, it would be nice to have a sewing machine, but unfortunately Wudu Town is only a small town, so it is difficult to buy one.Ye Qiu was thinking about when he would go to City C to have a look.When she left S City, the three-turn-one-ring had already become popular in the city.If it is a marriage, one of the three turns and one sound will attract much attention.

Wudu Town is located in the southwest mountainous area. Although it has not started yet, it will become popular soon after the reform and opening up.Ye Qiu thought about the business opportunity, and his heart beat violently.But it's not the time yet, and it's very uncomfortable to think about it.It is like a very hungry person who has a big cake in front of him but cannot eat it.

Ye Qiu quickly put aside all thoughts, and walked towards the gate of the town together with Tang Guizhi.

On the way, I met Wei Hongzhi and Yang Dazhen.

Wei Hongzhi had a smile on her face, seeing Ye Qiu bought so many things, she quickly helped her get some.Yang Dazhen was so envious, she muttered a few words in her heart, and then glanced at Wei Hongzhi.After some comparison, I feel a little lost in my heart.

Originally, Ye Qiu wanted to use the food stamps to go to the food station to exchange for some food, but when he saw Yang Dazhen's appearance, he looked at Wei Hongzhi again, thinking about it later.So the few people quickly arrived at the town's entrance, joined the crowd, and returned to Jianshe Village.
