Ye Dawu sent Ye Zhiqiu directly to Sanlitun. After Ye Zhiqiu got off the car with his things, he waved goodbye to him.
He was a bit confused today, and was dazed the whole time. But he was very clear about one thing, that is, Ye Zuying was really good to him!
It doesn't refer to the time when we were at Li's house, but to the things she gave!
Eight hundred yuan in cash, a sewing machine ticket, a bicycle ticket, a radio ticket, a watch ticket, and a complete set of tickets for three turns and one ring!
These things are very valuable, most people wouldn't give so many things!
Ye Zhiqiu happily put the money, bills, candy and biscuits into the space when no one was around.
He went home with the cigarettes and alcohol, but to his surprise the gate was still closed. He took out the key and opened it.
After returning to the room, he put away the cigarettes and alcohol, and Ye Zhiqiu happily put his thoughts into the space.
After checking the bacon, he found it had dried very well. He then cut a lunch box of the marinated meat into pieces. After Ye Zhiqiu took it out, he tasted it and found it to be quite tasty!
It's obvious to cook meat and chicken all day long, but occasionally bringing braising liquid to feed my wife can make it less noticeable.
It’s the same at home. Let’s forget about tonight, we just ate chicken and meat yesterday. No matter how good our conditions are, we can’t eat meat every day!
It was still early, only half past twelve, and Ye Zhiqiu was a little bored, so he simply started to take care of the space.
The more crops are planted, the more grain is stored. Ye Zhiqiu doesn’t know what to do with so much grain!
Selling was impossible, as he still remembered the red line Chen Yimin had mentioned. Especially during this time of food shortage, if he sold even a few hundred kilograms, he would probably be subject to a city-wide investigation!
The same goes for meat. Ye Zhiqiu has to go to several pigeon markets to sell wild rabbits. If he sold pork or other things, he would probably have been found out!
Rabbits were indeed common in the mountains of Miyun, so it was normal for them to be in circulation. As long as Ye Zhiqiu didn't act recklessly and sell hundreds of them at once, it wouldn't attract anyone's attention.
Ye Zhiqiu remembered that there was probably not much oil at home, so he immediately got up and ran to the kitchen. After removing the lid from the oil tank, he found that there was not much oil left, probably only about a pound.
After adding about twenty kilograms of oil, the oil tank was almost full, and Ye Zhiqiu stopped pouring oil.
There was no cellar here, so the vegetables were placed in baskets on the bench. Ye Zhiqiu opened them and took a look. There was half a basket of white radish, six heads of Chinese cabbage, and four or five pounds of potatoes. This was probably the vegetables for this year's winter storage!
He frowned, not expecting so few vegetables. He immediately took out white radish, cabbage and potatoes from the space and filled a basket!
In fact, Ye Zhiqiu also wanted to put eggplant out, but this one was a bit too conspicuous!
In fact, it is a little different from what everyone thinks. During the Chinese New Year in Beijing, there will be more vegetables!
Because they are transported from other provinces, you can still buy green peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, cabbages and other things during the Spring Festival!
They didn't find it strange that Ye Zhiqiu brought eggplants and cabbages to the Feng family, because the special supply channel did include various vegetables. It's just that many of them were special supplies for senior leaders, foreign guests, and large hotels!
As for the outside world, some would occasionally leak out, but they were really rare and difficult to buy, so the mother and daughter would not find it strange.
But Ye Zhiqiu had things to put out, dried vegetables, dried radishes, dried eggplants, dried beans, dried chilies, and he also put out three old pumpkins!
He said complacently: "Without me, this family won't even have food to eat!"
"Grandson, what are you talking about? There's nothing to eat?"
Ye Zhiqiu was startled. Wang Fugui had returned, and he was standing at the kitchen door. He hadn't even noticed the sound of him opening the courtyard door!
However, Ye Zhiqiu quickly regained his composure. He smiled and said to Wang Fugui, "Grandpa, come and see me. After I finished my work today, I went out to scavenge for supplies. I didn't get any meat, but I did get some oil and various vegetables!"
Wang Fugui walked in and saw so many vegetables. He said happily, "This is great! We were just worried about not having enough vegetables to eat this winter! And it's you, my eldest grandson, who brought back so many vegetables as soon as you came back!"
Ye Zhiqiu rolled his eyes, then pretended to be proud and said, "It's just that I didn't bring enough money, otherwise there would be more good things!"
Wang Fugui was fooled. He asked curiously, "What good stuff do you have? If you don't have enough money, I have some here!"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Haha, I have money, I just didn't bring that much with me today. Grandpa, you know about the special supplies, right?"
Wang Fugui nodded. He naturally knew about this, but he didn't understand why Ye Zhiqiu mentioned it.
Ye Zhiqiu lowered his voice and said, "I know some people who deal in supplies. Some of them know the transporters of the unplanned supplies, and some know the train crews on the southbound trains!
Whether you're a transporter or a train attendant, you can bring some personal items back with you as a hidden benefit. Did you know this?"
Wang Fugui nodded. These two professions are particularly lucrative positions, and the lucrative part is dealing in supplies!
"They've been dealing in vegetables from the south lately, vegetables that can be stored for several days, like tomatoes and cucumbers.
Once they arrive at a place with snow, they put the vegetables outside to freeze them hard when they stop, so that they can bring them back without spoiling!
I wanted to buy some tomatoes and cucumbers today, but I didn’t have enough money with me, so I spent it all before and didn’t get to buy those things.
Wang Fugui smiled and said, "I see. That's pretty much the same as during the Chinese New Year. We also have these dishes during the Chinese New Year. Actually, they don't necessarily need to be frozen. As long as you make sure they're well ventilated, you can bring them back."
In fact, many vegetables can be stored for a week or so without any problem. However, they will spoil during transportation, and if they are sprayed with water to cool them down, they will also spoil, so they cannot be transported to the capital in large quantities.
So if you're not buying in large quantities, there's no need to freeze them hard. Unless the seller is doing it on purpose, because it will increase the weight!
This was the first time Ye Zhiqiu had heard of this. He asked in surprise, "Grandpa, how do you know so much about these things? Did you work on the railway before?"
"Nonsense! Grandpa has ridden on many trains before and knows how goods are transported! For example, here in Beijing, when vegetables are shipped from other provinces during the New Year, only one basket is put in.
Don't stack them up, so they won't spoil. This is also the reason why transportation capacity is so wasted! It will only waste some transportation capacity during the Chinese New Year so that people can have a good year."
It turns out that off-season vegetables appear before the Spring Festival. This is how it comes about! However, it really wastes transportation capacity. No wonder it is not used during normal times. If it is only used for maintenance, the transportation capacity is wasted.
