After entering the room, Shen Chu Ning entered the space again, and the crops in the space grew a lot taller.
He estimated that at the current growth rate of the crop, it would be ready for harvest in about a month.
When she first entered the space, she thought the land for growing crops was very large. After getting familiar with it, she discovered that there was only about half an acre of land in this space, and the one-time yield was only about one thousand kilograms.
Although it's not much, it's already very productive to produce so much grain from such a small amount of land.
the next day.
Shen Chu Ning got up very early. She originally wanted to make breakfast for her father and brothers.
Unexpectedly, her elder brother got up earlier than her and had already prepared breakfast.
There was a big pot of sweet potato and corn porridge, but not a single grain of rice could be seen.
Shen Chu Ning knew that this was the breakfast that her father and brothers usually ate, so she picked up the bowl and prepared to serve herself a bowl.
Shen Zhengxu quickly stopped her, “Little sister, eat this.”
As he spoke, Shen Zhengxu pushed a bowl of goat milk, a white flour bun and a boiled egg in front of Shen Chuning.
Shen Chu Ning only took a glance and continued to scoop up the corn and sweet potato porridge.
He tilted his head back and took a sip.
Shen Zhengxu was a little anxious, "Little sister, don't eat this, it's not delicious..."
“Brother, I’ll eat whatever you guys eat from now on.” Shen Chu Ning said calmly as he put down the bowl.
This corn and sweet potato porridge is really not delicious.
Because the corn was not ground finely, it was very coarse and a bit salty. The sweet potatoes were not fresh either, but dried sweet potato slices from last year.
Because people are reluctant to peel the rotten sweet potatoes, these dried sweet potatoes are mixed with rotten sweet potatoes, and they taste very bitter when you eat them.
Shen Zhengxu felt mixed emotions.
He knew that although his sister was spoiled, she was a person with her own ideas.
Once you make up your mind, you won't change it at will.
All I could say was, "Okay, little sister, I won't make breakfast for you anymore. But today the milk and steamed buns have been exchanged, so you have to eat them, or they will be wasted."
Chen Chu Ning blinked her big, watery eyes, took the bowl of goat milk, poured it into the sweet potato corn porridge, and then crushed the steamed buns and eggs and mixed them in, and said with a smile: "Let's eat together as a family."
Shen Zhengxu looked at her smiling face and felt that it would not be excessive to pamper such a good sister no matter how much.
After breakfast, Shen's father and Shen Zhengxu went to work.
Shen Zhengliang asked for leave from the team today and went to the city with Shen Chuning.
Shen Chu Ning spent half a day learning to ride a bicycle yesterday. Although he could ride it barely, he definitely couldn't carry a passenger.
So Shen Zhengliang still rode the bike and she sat on the back seat.
Shen Zhengliang didn't go empty-handed either.
He carried a backpack, which was covered tightly with tattered pieces of cloth.
The backpack contained dried mushrooms that the father and his two sons had picked in the mountains during this period, as well as the rabbit skins that they had peeled from the wild rabbits they had shot.
The most valuable items were two Ganoderma lucidum and a wild ginseng that the father and his two sons had picked up before.
There were originally two wild ginseng roots, one of which had already been eaten by Shen Chuning.
It was her first time going to the black market, and Shen Chu Ning was a little excited.
Shen Zhengliang rode his bicycle and stopped outside the yard of an ordinary residential building.
Under a pear tree in the yard, an old man in his sixties was skillfully weaving baskets with bamboo strips.
Shen Zhengliang walked forward familiarly, "Uncle Li, isn't Brother Chen at home today? I saw his door was closed."
Uncle Li glanced at Shen Chuning, “You brought this female comrade to see your brother Chen too?”
Shen Chuning had already followed Shen Zhengliang's instructions and painted her face black with pot ash, and put on a rustic blue headscarf. She looked like a skinny rural woman.
Shen Zhengliang smiled and said, “Uncle Li, this is my sister.”
As Shen Zhengliang said this, he stuffed two dimes into Uncle Li's hand.
Uncle Li then said, "Your brother Chen is chatting with the third household at the east end of our village today, the one with the osmanthus tree at the door!"
“Thank you, Uncle Li.” After Shen Zhengliang thanked him politely, he led Shen Chuning to the east end of the village.
On the way, Shen Zhengliang told Shen Chuning about the black market.
Now is the time of severe crackdown, and the address of the black market is often changing. You have to find a contact person and then exchange secret codes, and the contact person will tell you the current address of the black market.
Uncle Li who was weaving the basket just now is the contact person in the black market.
The Brother Chen he mentioned is the person in charge of this black market.
When they were almost at the black market, Shen Zhengliang's expression became more serious. "Ningning, when we enter the black market later, don't talk. Tell your second brother quietly what you want to buy. Your second brother will buy it for you."
Shen Chu Ning nodded obediently.
After entering the small courtyard of the black market, Shen Chu Ning found that the black market was completely different from what she had imagined.
The courtyard was quite lively, with many people selling things at stalls and buying things, but there was no sound.
Everyone communicated using simple sign language.
No wonder she didn't hear any sound when she was outside just now. She thought her second brother had gone to the wrong place.
Shen Zhengliang first went to the cotton stall and after bargaining, he bought 20 kilograms at the price of 1.8 yuan per kilogram.
The price of cotton at the supply and marketing cooperative is 1.2 yuan per pound, but you need a ticket to buy cotton at the supply and marketing cooperative, but you don’t need a ticket here.
Shen Chu Ning had the intention of selling food on the black market.
But she looked around the black market and didn't see anyone selling food.
He lowered his voice and said to Chen Zhengliang, "Second brother, why is there no one selling food in the free market? No one is selling meat and eggs either. Isn't it said that there is everything for sale in the free market?"
