Chapter 42: Micro-vegetables for Cloth
The next day, Wanru and Xiaobei, who had gained a lot, took a "cow taxi" from the county's leisurely Sikanzi Brigade. When passing by the brigade headquarters, they first canceled their leave with the brigade leader, and then took the ox cart all the way to the educated youth point!
To express his gratitude, the driver was given a box of cigarettes. The old master who answered correctly was very satisfied!
This is what is called "there are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom"!
After all, in this day and age, you can’t talk about deals, let alone money! In order to avoid making mistakes, this is the only way!
Of course, large jars of grain and bags were not uncommon, but the three bundles of cloth and four baskets caused quite a stir!
You know, these days, not only the villagers, but even the workers in the city are short of cloth!
City people don’t care. They can get two or three yuan of cloth coupons at the beginning of a year. After saving for two or three years, they can always make a new set of clothes. When the old ones are replaced, they will alter them and pass them on to their younger children. Sometimes, a piece of clothing can be passed down for three generations if it is worn carefully!
If this is the case with city dwellers, let alone village dwellers!
After working hard all year and paying their taxes, they were given a piece of cloth coupon, which was a special treatment. So most of the clothes they wore were made of the old-fashioned cloth woven by the villagers themselves!
"Hey! Qiao Zhiqing, Ji Zhiqing, where did you get this cloth? There is so much, you two can't wear it all. Look, my son-in-law is dating next month, and he doesn't have any suitable clothes yet. I'll pay for it, so give me some!"
"Yes, yes, the sleeves of our Tieniu's clothes are too short to his elbows. He should have been made a new set long ago, but where can we old farmers get cloth coupons... If you have any extra, share some with us. It will be enough to make a new set of clothes!"
Qiao Xiaobei pretended to be embarrassed: "Aunts, to be honest, these are defective products from the textile factory. Wanru and I used a lot of connections to get them. We were originally planning to send them to relatives at home. My grandma hasn't made new clothes for 6 years, and Wanru's little nephew can run away and is still naked every day..."
First, she said that it was not easy to get these cloths, and then she said that these cloths were all good, which made the aunties and aunties who gathered around her feel a little depressed...
Then Xiaobei changed the subject.
"But we are all comrades in the same trench. I still remember that Wanru and I knew nothing when we came here. If it weren't for the selflessness of the villagers who were willing to teach us, we might not even know what a hoe looks like. So, if there are any extras, and some aunts need them, we should save some and give some to them. But we are not allowed to buy and sell now..."
"Yeah! Just like that!"
"Ah? Ah! Yes, Xiaobei is right!"
It’s as if as one of the parties involved, I don’t even know when I became so great!
Upon hearing this, the aunties all smiled happily and were extremely happy. They pulled Xiaobei and Wanru and started praising them! !
"Oh, you are an educated youth from the city, you are so open and honest in what you say and do! I will give you the money right now, give me 3m!"
"Hey! Aunt Guizhen, wait a minute!"
Just as Li Guiying was about to take a step forward, his steps suddenly froze. Was he going to change his mind again?
"We in China don't allow trading right now, Auntie, you can't let me make a mistake!"
"What should we do then?"
"It just so happens that the microgreens from the mountains are now available. We don't have them in our hometown. I sent some home last month and they all liked them very much. They asked me to get more!"
Microgreens are a type of fern and look similar to bracken. Many people mistake them for bracken. They come in two colors: green and red! It tastes slightly bitter and crisp, without coarse fiber. It is known to have the effects of calming the nerves, fighting cancer, and losing weight. It also has a significant inhibitory effect on viruses such as influenza. Its nutritional value is very rich, and it is one of the most popular wild vegetable varieties in later generations!
Unfortunately, due to ecological destruction, in later generations, real micro-vegetables are rarely seen on the surface, and basically they are exported for foreign exchange!
Even now, people from our country, which just established diplomatic relations with China 2000 years ago, love this!
It is said that when China was causing trouble, people got used to eating it and felt uncomfortable if they didn’t eat it!
She is trying to find a middle ground. It is estimated that in two years, the small country will start to buy Weicai, and it will be impossible for her to do so!
