Prices in that era were really cheap, but supplies were scarce and you couldn’t buy anything even if you had money, and you also needed tickets.

Things on the black market are indeed more expensive, but if you don’t need a ticket, it’s still a good deal. Besides, we’re planning to celebrate New Year’s Day as the New Year, so we don’t feel bad about spending a little money.

There was only one day, so the few of them discussed it and decided to prepare two meals, one at around 10 o'clock, and one at around 4 or 5 in the afternoon, and some snacks in the evening.

For the morning meal, everyone decided to make iron pot stewed chicken, and for the afternoon meal, they made dumplings together, filling the dumplings with pork and cabbage.

Therefore, the ingredients to be prepared are: chicken, potatoes, rice, white flour, cabbage, and pork.

There are also snacks such as peanuts, melon seeds and sweet potato chips.

These things are already very abundant in this era. Most families don’t have the opportunity to eat them once a year.

Li Mengxue calculated the price of these things based on the black market prices she knew. Since it was only one day's food, even if it was the amount for seven people, it was not much. Divided per person, it was only more than two yuan, which was much more cost-effective than ordering a meat meal at a state-owned restaurant.

After they took out the money, they actually had some of the things themselves.

For example, cabbage and chicken.

Yi Qingqing could provide chickens, Qian Lailai had cabbage in her private plot, and there was also stock of potatoes planted before, so according to the amount of demand, she gave them some more money as if they were buying from her, and the rest was purchased by Li Mengxue.

In fact, she only needs to install it in the supermarket space.

Yi Qingqing's side is also very convenient. She has quite a few fresh pheasants stored, and they have all been processed. It's no problem to take one out, or you can take an afternoon to go for a walk in the mountains.

Hunting in the mountains is also easier when it snows, as it is easier to find traces of prey on the snow.

You can still make some money, although it is much more difficult than signing in at the bank. The price of chicken is 1.5 yuan per pound, and a chicken is only a few yuan. You can sell dozens of chickens in one go.

In fact, there was chicken in Li Mengxue's space, but it was all frozen, not freshly slaughtered, and the taste might be worse. Li Mengxue gave this task to Yi Qingqing on the grounds that she wanted to try pheasant.

Yi Qingqing was actually quite surprised that Li Mengxue brought this up today.

Even Yi Qingqing can benefit from this matter.

If she could spend money to get supplies directly from Li Mengxue, she would no longer have to check in at places like grain stations and non-staple food stations.

Use the money saved to sign in at a bank. The return rate for the same sign-in point is much higher. With the money from one bank sign-in, you can buy dozens of times more things from Li Mengxue than if you sign in directly.

In the past, Yi Qingqing had thought about using money to ask Li Mengxue to buy things, but being able to get supplies and having a connection with the black market was too serious in this era. Who wouldn't keep it a secret?

Although we are friends, we should not ask too much when it comes to matters concerning our own safety, so we gave up.

But now Li Mengxue said it herself.

Yi Qingqing was a little worried. She exposed a hunting skill, but the danger was not particularly great.

It is a tacit agreement that we should get some wild animals in the mountains.

The villagers would do the same thing, and some would catch ducks in the reeds and pick up duck eggs. Some people would say that this was stealing collective property, but everyone did it secretly. Some people were just good at it and did more, while others could not be caught.

As long as they don't have a big grudge against you, they will only be envious when they see you, or jealous in serious cases. The probability of reporting is still very small. After all, to put it seriously, digging wild vegetables and picking firewood in the mountains are similar to hunting in the mountains.

The reason they hide it is simply because no one can eat meat freely, and jealousy will bring a lot of trouble.

Compared to what she exposed, Li Mengxue's case is much more serious.

If anyone present told others about it, the consequences would be disastrous and they might even be arrested.

It can be seen that Li Mengxue really trusts them.

People are all made of flesh and blood. Yi Qingqing is the kind of person who wants to give back more if others are nice to her.

If it were her who had just traveled through time, she would never have believed that she, a background female supporting actress, could become a good friend of the heroine and share such a secret with her.

Section 115

It just happened naturally.

Yi Qingqing didn't want her kindness to be let down, so she stressed, "We must keep this matter of Meng Xue a secret. No one can tell. Got it?"

While speaking, she was staring at Zheng Xiaolong.

Among these seven people, the one she can trust is Zheng Xiaolong.

According to the description in the original book, after the New Year this year, his fiancée, who was arranged by his family, will come to the countryside to pursue him.

The love that seems sincere and sweet now will gradually become chaotic due to the interference of troublemakers.

Although the direction of the original book has completely changed, Zheng Xiaolong's character of avoiding pressure from his family, being immature in thinking and lacking in responsibility has not changed.

If the relationship breaks down by then, I wonder if Zheng Xiaolong can maintain his gentlemanly demeanor.

In the original book, before the two broke up, Li Mengxue never took the initiative to mention this matter in front of him.

Zheng Xiaolong felt a little uncomfortable under Yi Qingqing's gaze, "Why are you looking at me? I'm keeping my mouth shut, there's no way I can tell anyone!"

"Any time?" Yi Qingqing now looked at him as if he were her best friend's boyfriend. She felt that he was not good in every way and had a lot of problems. He was not worthy of her best friend. Fortunately, her best friend was not a love-brained person.

When did the girl go to the countryside after the New Year? She had to come back early to look after him.

Zheng Xiaolong nodded: "Any time."

"I hope you remember what I said today!" Yi Qingqing said.

Li Mengxue chuckled: "Haha, Qingqing is now like an old hen protecting her cubs!"

"..." Yi Qingqing held her neck with one arm and held her in his arms, "You can call me mom if you want, be good, little one!"

Li Mengxue: “…”

How could her little arms and elbows break free from Yi Qingqing who had taken a powerful pill?

Li Mengxue has always been flexible: "I was wrong, you are not an old hen, you are young and beautiful, a queen chicken with an entire harem!"

"Good baby, call mommy and I will let you go," Yi Qingqing touched her hair lovingly.

A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!

Li Mengxue stretched out her hand towards Yi Qingqing's waist.

This day ended with fighting and playing again.
