The heavy rain gradually stopped that night.
Their team was lucky because they managed to rescue a batch of rice seedlings while draining the water.
Although the losses are huge, at least there is still a little hope for summer harvest.
After the sky cleared up, Lin Chaoyang simply asked for leave because there was already too much work to do in the fields.
He secretly used the burlap bags at home to pack the rice, cornmeal and noodles from the supermarket separately.
The packaging in the supermarket is so modern that it is possible to take it out directly.
After preparing all this, Lin Chaoyang put the prepared items in the supermarket and set off for the county town.
In fact, when Lin Chaoyang was in his teens in his previous life, he seldom came to the county town. He was busy working every day and had no time at all.
The county town in the 1970s was still quite new to Lin Chaoyang.
But he didn't have time to look at it any more, so he quickly followed his memory and walked towards the factory's family quarters.
These days, the only people who can afford to buy rice and noodles are those living in the family quarters.
They have stable jobs, better living conditions than most people, and are willing to spend money.
Lin Chaoyang quickly walked to the family area, and in order to avoid being recognized, he secretly smeared white on himself.
After he applied white paint, he still felt relaxed and put a big mole on his face.
Looking in the mirror, Lin Chaoyang nodded with satisfaction.
Even if someone investigates this matter, the buyer should be able to recognize his original appearance.
After completing the disguise, Lin Chaoyang knocked on the door of the nearest courtyard.
"Who is it?"
A strong female voice was heard, and it was obvious that she had eaten a full meal.
Lin Chaoyang deliberately pinched his throat and asked, "Do you want food?"
When he heard the word "food", the door opened immediately.
"You have food? What kind of food?"
The woman lived in a small courtyard, and it was obvious that she lived a good life, and she valued coarse grains very much.
Lin Chaoyang took out a bag of rice from his backpack and opened it to show her, "There's white rice, cornmeal, and noodles."
The woman's eyes lit up. Such white and fine refined rice would be difficult to get even with connections.
"You are quite capable, young man, to be able to get such good white rice. How much would it cost?"
Although life at home was going well, the woman also had her own plans.
Although refined white rice is good, if the price is too high, it is still more cost-effective to buy something like cornmeal.
Lin Chaoyang probably also understood the price of food in the city at that time, so he simply extended a hand.
"The rice sold at the grain station costs 10 cents, but it's better than my rice. I don't need a ticket either, it's only 40 cents a pound."
This price is considered low but also very expensive, mainly because you need a ticket.
The woman immediately moved, "Give me five catties. How much is a tube of that noodle?"
These days, noodles are sold in tubes. Grain stations occasionally have some, but you have to be lucky to get one.
"Noodles are a bit more expensive, 1.5 yuan a tube. Look, these noodles are made of refined white flour, soft and smooth, and delicious."
A roll of noodles weighs only about one pound, and the price of one dollar and fifty cents per roll is really cheap.
But noodles are a rare commodity at this time. They are more valuable than rice and are sold at grain stations for only 10 cents a barrel.
The woman was a little hesitant, but the noodles that Lin Chaoyang took out looked much better than those at the grain station, and she was very envious.
Moreover, she had to rely on luck to buy noodles from the grain station. She hadn't bought noodles for a long time, and the children at home were so greedy that they couldn't get enough.
"Okay, then you can give me one, three dollars and fifty cents, right?"
The woman finally gritted her teeth and spent three dollars and fifty cents to buy a tube of noodles and five kilograms of rice.
"If you need these good things in the future, don't forget to think of me first. My last name is Han, you can just call me Sister Han."
Seeing that Lin Chaoyang seemed to have connections, Sister Han couldn't help but try to please him and make friends with him so that it would be convenient for her to buy food in the future.
Lin Chaoyang smiled and said, "Sister Han, my last name is Zhao, you can just call me Xiao Zhao. I will definitely think of you when I get something good next time."
Zhao is Lin Chaoyang's mother's surname, and he doesn't want to reveal his real name to Sister Han.
Sister Han smiled and nodded, "Okay, Xiao Zhao, I'll wait for you to bring good things next time."
After saying goodbye to Sister Han, Lin Chaoyang knocked on other doors one after another and sold a lot of food.
At noon, Lin Chaoyang secretly counted and found that he had earned more than ten yuan today.
In that era, the salary of a formal worker was just over 30 yuan, and he earned two months' salary today.
Lin Chaoyang was still quite excited. After all, the money came really quickly.
But he quickly hid his emotions. At that moment, everyone in the village was worried, so it was natural for him to be so happy.
Almost home, Lin Chaoyang took out two kilograms of brown rice from the supermarket and put it in the backpack.
Lin Chaoyun seemed to be waiting for him on purpose. When he saw him coming back, he asked, "Brother, where have you been?"
"Let's go to the county town and try our luck. I'll see if I can meet a good person who can give me some food."
Lin Chaoyang took out the brown rice and said, "I'm so lucky today. I met a good person."
Lin Chaoyun opened his mouth in surprise, "Brother, are you begging for food?"
Lin Chaoyang looked up at her and replied indifferently, "What's wrong with begging? If you think it's embarrassing, don't eat. Just starve to death."
Lin Chaoyun quickly shook her head. She didn't mean that. She was just a little too surprised.
Everything has changed since she was reborn.
First, Lin Chaoyu became a thief, then heavy rain destroyed most of the crops, and now even the eldest brother has to beg for food.
Lin Chaoyun began to doubt her life.
Is it that her memory is wrong, or has she not been reborn at all?
Is everything she sees now real?
Lin Chaoyun understood, but if she lived here for one day, she would have to endure hunger for one day.
The feeling of hunger is fake, she cares so much now.
Lin Chaoyang didn't have time to care about her little thoughts. He grabbed two handfuls of rice and handed them over.
"Cook some porridge, add some wild vegetables, and you'll have a fuller meal today."
Lin Chaoyun nodded, holding two handfuls of brown rice, and went into the kitchen.
Lin Chaoyang returned to his room, found an excuse to send Lin Chaoxing out, and secretly prepared things to sell tomorrow.
Today he prepared three kinds of food, but cornmeal sold very well, so he simply sold it.
He wants to take some rapeseed oil out to sell tomorrow. This stuff is absolutely scarce now.
City dwellers only had a few taels of oil coupons each month, and every household was short of oil.
I heard that some people who were really short of oil would buy cottonseed oil, which required a ticket.
Cottonseed oil doesn't taste good, it tastes bitter, and it is not a decent edible oil.
However, if you lack oil for a long time, you will get edema. If you can't buy rapeseed oil, you can only think of other ways.
Given the scarcity of rapeseed oil, even if he doesn't need tickets, there will definitely be a market for oil if it is sold at two yuan per pound.
