The road was not easy to walk on. It was a dirt road in the countryside, full of potholes and small stones.
Everyone in the fields sits at the edge of the fields to eat. The canteen prepares the food and someone is responsible for delivering it to the fields. This saves time. After eating, they take a break and then continue working.
So no one saw Jiang Mengxue passing by along the way.
Even if we hurried, it would be almost nine o'clock when we arrived at the commune.
Jiang Mengxue went to junior high school in the commune, so she is quite familiar with the commune.
Instead of wandering around, he found a place to change his clothes and disguise himself, covered his entire face with a mask, and then came to the alley near the supply and marketing cooperative.
Pieces of pork were placed in a basket and covered with a piece of cloth. A corner of the edge was missing, but you could still see what was inside.
She slows down when she meets people, and those who need help will naturally stop her.
The transactions here are all done cautiously. Some people hold the items they want to sell in their hands. If someone wants them, they will ask the price, but they usually rely on eye contact and gestures. They will not bargain here, or they will directly find another place to discuss the transaction.
Some people don’t bring anything with them. Once they reach an agreement with someone, they just find another place to trade. Everyone is very cautious.
Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. There was a long queue at the pork stall early in the morning, and you might not be able to buy it.
There are many people who come to the black market to try their luck, so there is no need to worry about selling.
I went around to several places and sold it for a little over a hundred yuan.
She came here mainly to learn about the black market in the commune, so she didn't plan to stay long.
When I came out of the alley, I almost bumped into someone, but luckily the other person reacted quickly and dodged it.
Jiang Mengxue was startled. It was not a good thing to meet someone at this time. She calmed down and looked up, and was completely shocked.
Isn’t this Gu Qingbei who sent her home yesterday?
But the person in front of him at this moment looked completely different.
When we met yesterday, he was wearing a white shirt and black pants, but it was obvious that he had an extraordinary aura. Even without wearing a military uniform, he had a very military temperament.
But at this time, the other person was wearing a simple cotton and linen short-sleeved shirt, blue trousers rolled up to his calves, and his shoulders were no longer straight. Coupled with the silly expression on his face, his whole temperament gave people the impression of a farmer.
At this moment, Jiang Mengxue was also quite confused. Could it be that this guy had a twin brother who looked exactly like him?
In this situation, should I say hello or just leave?
Thinking about my current appearance and where I am now, I gave up the idea.
However, judging from the way the other person arched his eyebrows at her, he must have recognized her.
Without thinking any more, I found a place to change my disguise and planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things and then go back.
There are still a lot of bills in hand, but Jiang Mengxue doesn't plan to buy things with them all and take them back. There is no need for that.
If it was something that was hard to buy now, she would buy it in the city and bring it back. If it was just some simple things that could be bought in the commune, she would give the receipts to her family members to buy it themselves.
Brothers and sisters should also be clear about accounts. It's already very good that she gave me the ticket. How can she bring a lot of things every time she comes back?
She still had quite a few bills in her hands, including food coupons, cloth coupons, and oil coupons, which she planned to keep for her family.
There are also two wine tickets and a few cigarette tickets. I can buy these and give them to my dad. He may need them when he comes to the commune for meetings or other things.
When I arrived at the commune, I went straight to the counter and ordered two bottles of Xifeng liquor and four packs of Daqianmen.
A few bars of soap, toilet paper, and sanitary belts. These are for my sister.
Although it is unrealistic, she really doesn't like this kind of thing that needs to be washed and used for a long time, so she can only buy a few more for her sister to use.
The ones I used before were probably made by buying cloth myself, because it is more cost-effective to do it yourself.
There was nothing left in the butcher shop next door. There were a few ribs with little meat on them and a small piece of pork liver left.
Several people around seemed to have arrived late, and the little things left on the chopping board were obviously not to their liking, so they were still hesitating whether to buy them.
What was there to hesitate about? Jiang Mengxue went forward and bought all the remaining items.
The ribs without meat can be stewed into soup. The pigs at that time were not fed with feed, so the taste is incomparable to that in later generations.
However, when Jiang Mengxue bought pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, and geese, she only bought those raised by farmers. None of them were fed with feed. The price was just a little higher, but fortunately she was not short of money.
In fact, many people think that the meat of black pigs is black, or at least the pig skin should also be black.
In fact, they are all wrong. Black pigs only have black hair. After the pigs are killed, the skin and flesh inside the hair are scraped off and are still the normal pork color, but black hair can still be seen in the hair follicles.
It's just not obvious when you look at it normally.
After buying the things, I didn't stay any longer and went straight home.
It was easy coming here, but now it’s hard to go back with so many things in my hands.
But she didn't dare put it in the space, what if she met an acquaintance along the way.
Counting the many things in the space, she didn't plan to use them to support her family. It wasn't that she was reluctant to give them away, but as long as her family could live comfortably, she didn't want to use the space too much.
If the family really had to go hungry, she wouldn't just stand by and watch, but given the current situation, she didn't need to do anything.
