Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Seeing her just gnawing on the cold steamed bread and not being particular about her food, Lin Qingyan couldn't help but nag at her.

"Why are you eating cold steamed bread? It's so cold out here. Please heat it up a little."

"It's okay, just fill your stomach. Let's go, we can't be late for the market." Ye Yi waved her hand indifferently.

"Don't eat the steamed bread, I still have some cakes left."

Lin Qingyan took the steamed bread from her hand, went to the table to get the pie that she had not eaten just now, and handed it to Ye Yi.

"Eat this, it's hot."

Ye Yi didn't answer it, but asked her, "Have you eaten?"

"Well, I'm done eating, you can eat quickly." After saying that, he stuffed the biscuit into Ye Yi's hand.

Ye Yi did not refuse. She looked at the pie made of white flour, which turned out to be filled with meat. Oil leaked out when she took a bite.

"Qingyan, your cooking skills are really great. Let's go to the market today to see if anyone is selling food. If someone is making food, we can also make some cakes to sell."

"Sure, I've prepared all the hair accessories. I'll go to the market and see if I can sell some."

After Lin Qingyan finished speaking, she looked at Ye Yi's red floral cotton jacket again and felt a little moved because she had never worn the floral jacket before.

"This coat looks really good on me, I'll wear it too."

"Hurry up and change. When we both wear the same clothes at the market, we will definitely attract attention. You can also wear hair accessories on your head."

The more Ye Yi thought about it, the more excited she became. She even forgot to eat the biscuits and urged Lin Qingyan to change her clothes quickly.

After Lin Qingyan changed her clothes, put on her scarf and gloves, she carried the backpack and left the house.

Gu Yizhou, who had been prepared for a long time, was stunned for a moment when he saw them coming out. Then his eyes lit up and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He took the scarf and gloves that Lin Qingyan had lent him and Fang Yunxing and prepared to return them to Lin Qingyan.

"It's cold, I'll give you back your scarves and gloves. Wear them when you ride your bikes later."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the big red scarf around Lin Qingyan's neck.

"You two can use the scarf and gloves. You don't have to give them to me. Ye Yi and I have a new pair." Lin Qingyan raised the gloves in her hand.

"How much are these? I'll let Fang Yunxing give you the money." Gu Yizhou was being petty and didn't say that he would give money, he only said that Fang Yunxing would give the money.

Lin Qingyan immediately understood what he meant, turned around and said to Yun Xing: "Then just give me 2 yuan. This scarf and gloves are of very good quality, made of pure wool."

Fang Yunxing cursed his brother in his heart, but on the surface he smiled and said, "This price is fair."

After saying that, he really took out 2 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Lin Qingyan. Lin Qingyan took it directly and said to Ye Yi who was pushing a bicycle next to her,

"Let's go!"

Four people and two bicycles drove out of the educated youth site and rode towards the market.

After arriving at the market and parking their bicycles, they headed towards the crowded areas.

Today is a big market, and there are small markets. Some markets are held on the first, third, sixth, and ninth day of every month, and some are held on the second, fifth, and eighth day of every month. These are all small markets.

During these days, farmers could bring what they couldn't finish eating or using to the market and exchange it with others.

The big market is on the first or fifteenth day of every month. On these two days, if it is not the busy farming season of autumn harvest, every household will go to the market for a walk. You can walk around and have a look even if you don’t need to buy anything.

It is now the end of 76. Compared with the early 70s, the policies have been much more relaxed. At that time, buying and selling were almost not allowed in the market. Now the market control is not as strict as in previous years.

Speculation is not allowed, but people can still exchange their own belongings with others, or even sell some of them secretly. Supervisors sometimes turn a blind eye because everyone needs to survive.

Today happened to be a big fair, and they arrived at the right time. The four of them were moving among the crowd, and soon attracted a lot of attention.

The difference between educated youth and farmers can still be seen. These four people are obviously educated youth. They have enough food and drink, and their complexions are much rosier than those of ordinary people. Moreover, they are also very good-looking.

In addition, there were two older girls wearing bright red flowered jackets, and these jackets alone attracted many young girls.

"Mom, their clothes are so beautiful, please make one for me." Someone was attracted by their clothes.

"Mom, I want one too. Make one for me too."

"Didn't you just make a cotton coat?"

"That's not as pretty as this."

"Sister-in-law, tell me you can't spoil a little girl. If you spoil her, she won't know what's right anymore."

"What's wrong? How does my girl bother you? Whether I buy it or not, it won't cost you a penny." After scolding the unknown woman next to him,

The woman who was called mother turned to her daughter and said, "After I sell all the eggs, I will take you to the supply and marketing cooperative to have a look. If there is any, I will buy you one to do it."

The little girl, who was protected by her mother, stuck out her tongue behind the woman's back.

Gu Yizhou glanced at the people staring at Lin Qingyan and the others, frowned slightly, and said to Lin Qingyan: "There are too many people in the market today, so we won't separate from you, it's safer."

By the way, I explained why we didn't act separately.

Lin Qingyan didn't care today. She had already put the things in the backpack and there was no need to cover them up, so she nodded in agreement.

Several people came to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, which was crowded with people.

"Let's go here." Lin Qingyan pointed to the open space next to the supply and marketing cooperative. Some people were selling self-woven bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, bamboo mats, etc., and the vegetables were at the other end.

This model is closer to the supply and marketing cooperative, and people passing by the cooperative can also see what they want to sell.

"Great! This is a good location." Ye Yi stood there and looked around, feeling very satisfied.

"Fang Yunxing, don't you want to buy some cloth? You can go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy it now. We are right here."

After Ye Yi finished speaking, she turned to Fang Yunxing who was standing there looking around.

After hearing this, Fang Yunxing shook his head and said, "Don't worry. It won't be too late to go after you finish your work. There are too many people in the supply and marketing cooperative right now."

"You can stand further away. With two grown men standing here, many young girls are afraid to come."

Ye Yi took the hair accessories out of the backpack, placed them on the cloth she brought, and spread them on the ground.

Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi were wearing bright red flowered jackets today, which attracted many girls along the way. Two of them even followed them all the way to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Now they were taking things out, as if they were going to sell them. Some of the brave ones couldn't help but step forward and ask,

"Are you selling something? What are you selling?"

Lin Qingyan looked up at the two girls opposite her and replied with a smile.

"You can exchange these things for other things. If you really don't have anything to exchange, you can also buy them."

Things at the market are mainly for exchange, but you can sell your own things, but the price cannot be outrageously high.

In fact, many of them are sold under the guise of exchange. As long as no one reports it, the regulators will pretend not to know.

When the two girls heard this, they understood and looked at the various hair accessories on the ground.
