When traveling into a period novel, it is reasonable to just lie down and watch the show!

Chapter 165 Is this for human consumption?

Li Lijuan didn't want to embarrass herself in the front yard, but what she didn't know was that what happened to her in the backyard just now was seen clearly by several people in the front yard.

They were all leaning on the windows to watch. The expressions of the people in the room were very exciting, and Zhao Yufang couldn't help but applaud.

"Heh, you deserve it. You got humiliated. Do you really think you're still the city's eldest daughter?"

She thought someone would respond to her, but unexpectedly, the other two people in the room didn't say a word. After watching the excitement, they continued to pack their luggage.

Qian Yuxiang is a nosy person, not to mention Chen Xue. How could she not know who Zhao Yufang is?

Lin Yinyin has changed a lot. Based on her previous personality, she shouldn't be able to say such words.

Could it be that his personality changed drastically after going to the countryside?

There is also a row of houses in the backyard, which did not exist in the previous life. Shen Yechu was the only one who built the houses, and they were built in the backyard of the Youth League Home. What happened during this period of time?

There are some differences in living a new life. Let’s find out slowly.

......

After washing the potato residue off her face, Li Lijuan went to find the team leader without looking back. With so many village cadres, there must be one who could seek justice for her.

But Li Lijuan was really the wrong person. The team leader had a talk with Secretary Gu, who specifically told him to take good care of her. How could he possibly give her justice?

The team leader persuaded her to come back with just a few words, which made Li Lijuan feel that the team leader was partial to the old educated youth, but she told the team leader about her plan to build a house.

The team leader didn't disagree, but just said that the autumn harvest was coming soon and everyone should be gathering their strength to prepare for it, and they could talk about building the house after the harvest.

Li Lijuan thought that she would be able to move into the new house after the autumn harvest, which was a bit naive.

When Li Lijuan returned to the educated youth's residence, Jiang Shumei had already prepared the meal. This time, the kind old lady cooked for all the new educated youth.

"Li Zhiqing, I just saw that there were only fine grains in your grain bag, so I didn't use yours. Everyone is eating cornmeal."

"Is it tasty?"

Li Lijuan frowned. Her family rarely ate cornmeal, but they would occasionally drink cornmeal porridge in the morning...

Jiang Shumei: “…”

How should she respond to this? It doesn't matter whether the food is delicious or not, as long as it can fill the stomach, it's fine. For these educated youth who went to the countryside, it's already very good to be able to eat enough every day.

Li Lijuan took a bite of the corn tortilla, turned around and spit it out, unable to swallow it.

"Is this for human consumption? It's so hard, I can't bite it, and I can't swallow it. I can't eat it."

Li Lijuan threw the corn tortilla on the table and said, "This is really not as delicious as the potato one just now!"

She felt hungry if she didn't eat, so she picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of food and put it into her mouth... This time she didn't spit it out, but she swallowed it with her eyes rolled back.

"Jiang Zhiqing, you don't even use oil or salt when cooking? At least you should use some soy sauce."

"Li Zhiqing, you just arrived and don't know this, but the seasonings in our Zhiqing kitchen are all bought by everyone. Times are tough and these things cost money, so we should save as much as possible."

Jiang Shumei said with some embarrassment, her eyes rolled, and then she added another sentence.

"But if Li Zhiqing cooks for himself, he can eat something better, just like the other Zhiqing in the backyard, who can cook whatever they want."

"Start a fire yourself? Cook? I can't cook!"

"Even though you can't cook, I can. When the time comes, Li Zhiqing, just tell me what you want to eat."

Jiang Shumei's attitude of "not being afraid of trouble" immediately touched Li Lijuan. Look at Jiang Zhiqing, he is a good comrade who helps each other.

"Then I will have to trouble Jiang Zhiqing from now on. Come with me to the town tomorrow morning to buy some things. We will start our own fire tomorrow."

"We'll have to build a separate stove, but it's not a big deal. I'll talk to the village chief this afternoon and ask him to find someone to build one."

"I'll do as you say. I don't understand this either."

Zhao Yufang lay in the room, feeling that Li Lijuan was even easier to deceive than when she first arrived. Jiang Shumei seemed nice on the surface, but was actually a black-hearted person.

She didn't know people well at first, and it was only after she fell seriously ill that she finally realized the truth.

......

"Yanhong, you are really amazing today. What are you thinking?"

Wang Meiling always thought that according to Cai Yanhong's temper, she should just take action directly, but she didn't expect that she could be dealt with with just three potatoes.

"Oh, look at her thin arms and legs. If I hurt her, I have to pay compensation. Paying compensation is fine, but if she breaks her legs and arms like Yinyin, I have to serve her. I won't do such a stupid thing.

"I feel relieved and relieved by doing this! And I don't have to pay any money. Otherwise, why would you say I'm smart?"

Cai Yanhong said this while shaking her little head proudly. Lin Yinyin didn't want to attack Comrade Yanhong today, as she still had to rely on her for output during this period!

His brother just said that Chen Xue has also come to the countryside, and she seems to need to be more restrained.

Besides, those few tentative words Chen Xue said to me when we were in school before, I guess I have to be careful when I go to the black market next time.

"Okay, okay, smart guy, hurry up and get to work. You'll have to go to work soon."

"It's just a small job, can't it be done in minutes?"

"..."

Jiang Jizhi looked at the pot of potatoes that had just been steamed in the pot. He felt that he would probably not be able to sleep before midnight tonight.

During dinner in the evening, Lin Yinyin gave some instructions to a few people in advance before Wang Meiling came to help.

"Yanhong, you should know that there is another person from our class who has also come to our educated youth center."

"I know, Chen Xue!"

"She told me about the black market when we were in school. I suspect she might know that you've been there before. You should be careful recently."

"Okay, I don't go to the black market very often now. I just give the goods I get from Ye Chu directly to my uncles. I go to the black market only to buy some things.

Your brother and his friends are still selling things on the black market. I don’t know where they get all these good things from.”

Cai Yanhong didn't delay her meal at all while talking, but when she talked about Lin Jianhe's supply of goods, she couldn't help but feel envious.

"At least everyone should be careful. We can't let them take us all down at once."

"We'll be extra careful, don't worry."

Lin Jianhe had already made plans. He planned to withdraw from the black market and find Aunt Ma to distribute his products. They were all old acquaintances, so it would be safer...

Day and night pass by and it is time for trading again. Today, Hammerhead is the brightest guy in town.

“Ride my beloved tricycle~it will never be stuck in traffic…Ride my beloved tricycle…”

Lin Yinyin was humming a little tune while her feet didn't stop moving. It was just that this tricycle didn't seem as easy to control as a bicycle.

The handlebars were clearly straight, but the tricycle always felt like it was leaning to one side, which caused Lin Yinyin's little song to be intermittent because she had to use her body to control the tricycle.

"Forget it, this bike isn't suitable for me! I'd better sell it!"

When Hammerhead appeared at the gate of the courtyard, he saw that the door was already open. This time, it was bad and there was no way to put the goods in.

But fortunately, there are still some things in the tricycle's cargo box. These things are just to deceive people. These things are not enough to fill the gaps in our teeth!

"Lin Zhiqing, Secretary Su, you came too early today.

The goods didn't arrive yesterday, so I can't give them to you today. Please make another trip tomorrow."

Hammer pushed the cart into the yard and removed the cloth covering the truck bed. Inside the truck bed were samples...

"Don't worry, we can make another trip tomorrow. It's not far away."

Su Huairen said with a smile, but his eyes were always fixed on the three-wheeled truck bed. He and Lao Gu checked for another half a month, but still couldn't find out where these goods came from.

Even Hammerhead is elusive. The person he followed last time lost him at some point.

Two days before the transaction, they sent people to the town to keep an eye on it to see if Hammerhead would show up. He even came to the courtyard in person. He even came over in the middle of the night yesterday to make sure there was nothing inside.

When he got back, he discussed it with Lao Gu. They thought that they had been too active in the past few days, which had let Hammerhead know about their recent actions.

When Su Huairen came here today, he was still nervous, fearing that he would offend people and stop cooperating with them.

His wife hasn't saved enough yet, and the business has to go on.

"Jiang Zhiqing, what do you think of my tricycle? I'll sell it to you at a low price."

Lin Yinyin's eyes rolled. When she sold the bicycle to Lin Jianhe, Jiang Jizhi called her a fool.

This time she was going to give Jiang Jizhi a good try and vent her anger.

"Okay, we just need a truck to transport goods, Brother Hammerhead, you are really a timely help.

We want this car no matter how much it costs!"

"We're all old acquaintances, so I won't ask for much. 300 yuan will be fine."

As soon as Hammerhead said this, the other three people in the yard widened their eyes. This made her unsure whether this was going too high or too low.

"Okay, no problem, I'll give you the money right away."

Jiang Jizhi readily took out the money from his pocket. Seeing his straightforward look, Lin Yinyin knew that her price would be lower again.

This tricycle is not sold in the supply and marketing cooperative, so she doesn’t know the specific price.

A bicycle can be sold for 200 yuan on the black market, and a tricycle with an extra wheel shouldn't be much more expensive by a hundred yuan...but looking at her current situation, it seems like she has suffered a loss again.

Lin Yinyin took the money, thought for a moment and said:

"Come pick up the goods tomorrow morning. I won't be coming. Please pay me today to save me the trouble of making another long trip."

"Okay, I'll give you the money first."

Lin Jianhe now has complete trust in Hammer Head and is not afraid that Hammer Head will run away with the money.

If it weren't for Hammerhead's support, he wouldn't have made so much money.

"Hmm? First...pay me first?"

Su Huairen hesitated. Four thousand yuan? Could he just give it to him? What if he took the money but the goods didn’t arrive?

"What? You don't believe me?"

"Haha, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that...this amount of money is not a small amount. It's better for us to pay first and then receive the goods."

Su Huairen thought that it would be fine if they knew each other well, after all, the monk can run away but the temple cannot, but they knew nothing about Hammerhead.

How could he believe this? If anyone believed in it without reservation, wouldn't he be a fool?

"Okay, then you can wait until next month to make the deal. I have other things to do tomorrow and can't come over. Without me here, it can't be considered a cash-for-goods transaction.

I'll tell the people over there to send less goods.

If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. I've been so busy these past few days. By the way, don't let your minions follow me from now on. They can't keep up and it's a waste of effort. Wouldn't it be better to catch a few more thieves with that time?"

Hammerhead picked up the bag handed to her by Lin Jianhe and turned to leave. Business is all about mutual consent, and she can't force others.

"No, no, Brother Hammerhead, we have something to discuss!

How about I give you half of the deposit first? That way I'll have some peace of mind, right?

Please be understanding. "

"That's fine too. You can give the remaining half of the money to Lin Zhiqing after you receive the goods tomorrow. I'm worried about you."

Su Huairen: “…Okay.”

Good, good, the most basic trust between people is gone.

Su Huairen took out two stacks of money from his pocket and handed them to Hammerhead. Hammerhead pulled it twice but it didn't move. What does this mean?

"Brother Hammerhead, you won't cheat me, will you?"

"Or, let's just... call it quits on this deal."

"No, no, no, I believe you, I believe you."

This time, Su Huairen resolutely stuffed the money into Hammerhead's arms, fearing that he would regret it later.

"It would have been better if you had done this earlier. I'm leaving now."

Hammerhead swaggered out of the yard with the money. After making sure that there was no tailing behind him today, he found a secluded place and transformed himself into Lin Yinyin.

There is only half a month left until the autumn harvest, and I won’t have time to come to town in the next few days. I’ll just buy whatever I need today.

As soon as I entered the supply and marketing cooperative, I saw an old acquaintance. Isn’t this Li Lijuan who had potatoes all over her face last time?

After the last big fuss, we had peace for several days.

"Humph!"

Lin Yinyin saw Li Lijuan, and Li Lijuan naturally saw her too, but neither of them prepared to say hello.

Looking at Jiang Shumei following Li Lijuan, carrying large and small bags of things in her hands, including daily necessities, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and everything else, it seems that she is preparing to start cooking.

Comrade Yanhong told me that Li Lijuan built a stove in the original kitchen and it was completed just yesterday.
