Traveling through 70's wine

Wen Qing leaned against the wall and waited for the old woman. After more than ten minutes, she saw someone coming. She looked around and saw no one before she came out. The old woman understood and said softly, "Little sister, these people also want to buy smoked fish." The four of them bought eight bags of smoked fish in total, and gave a total of 5 yuan, a cloth coupon, a pound of oil coupons, and two pounds of grain coupons. The old woman saw that Wen Qing still had some left, so she bought two more bags of smoked fish. When she heard that Wen Qing was short of oil coupons, she gave her a pound and a half of oil coupons and one yuan.

Wen Qing carried the basket and walked out of the textile factory's family quarters. There were still 28 packs of smoked fish left. She walked to the county middle school. Not only did the teachers buy some, but even parents passing by bought a lot and brought them to their boarding school children. In just one hour, she sold all the smoked fish. As expected, there are very few people selling cooked food now, and everyone's purchasing power has nowhere to go.

Wen Qing calculated that this time she brought forty packages of smoked fish, one package was used as a sample for everyone to taste, and thirty-nine packages were sold for a total of twenty yuan, which was also exchanged for ten kilograms of grain coupons, three and a half kilograms of oil coupons, two cloth coupons, one kilogram of sugar coupons, and one industrial coupon.

Wen Qing went to the county bus station and bought a ticket for the 11:10 noon train. Seeing that the clock at the station showed only 5:3, with an hour left, she went to the supply and marketing station to buy 1 jin of fine grain, jin of vegetable oil, and jin of sugar. She also went to the agricultural supplies station to buy a machete and some vegetable seeds. Now, she not only has a sickle and a hoe, but also a machete, which makes it safer to go into the mountains in the future.

When we returned to the educated youth point, Wu Qing had already gone to work. Today was the last day of his three-day sick leave, and he would have to go back to work tomorrow.

Wen Qing closed the door, went up to the attic, got on the bed, pulled the mosquito net, and then entered the space. She wanted to plant vegetables on the reclaimed land and plant the trees dug from the mountains.

She first spread the vegetable seeds on the finely leveled land, which was considered the seedbed, and carefully watered it. She planted the pear and apple trees on the hillside, and the peach and plum trees by the bamboo forest. After planting the trees, she went to see the dendrobium planted in the bamboo forest the day before, and found that the dendrobium was growing well, without any sluggishness after transplanting. She returned to the bamboo forest, took a glass of water from the bamboo tube and drank it. The cool spring water made all the fatigue in her body disappear.

She sat down cross-legged and began to practice kung fu on the jade piece.

After an unknown amount of time, Wen Qing came out of her state of meditation. Today's practice had been very effective, and her meridians had become wider. She took out the jade piece and placed it on the bookshelf in the study, as it was not safe to keep it on her body.

Wen Qing left the space and prepared dinner. Today she bought rice and steamed it. She also took out the three fish heads left over from making smoked fish yesterday, went to the yard to pick green peppers, and made chopped pepper fish heads.

When Wu Qing came back and saw the food, he said in surprise, "Oh, Xiaoqing, you made delicious food again." The sound of him swallowing his saliva was so loud that Wen Qing could hear it.

Wen Qing said, "I used a lot of oil to make smoked fish yesterday. Today I took the smoked fish to the town and exchanged it for some rice, oil, and sugar. I put everything in the cupboard."

Wu Qing said, "Xiao Qing, you caught the fish and you smoked the fish. I'm taking advantage of you." "It's okay. You do more work in the fields than I do, so you'll get more food than me," Wen Qing said with a smile, "What work are we going to do tomorrow?" She changed the subject.

"Tomorrow we will dig drainage ditches and then irrigate the paddy fields to plant rice."

After dinner, Wen Qing found the junior high school textbooks she had brought with her and began to read them in the evening light.

Wu Qing said: "I have written a letter asking my mother to send all my high school textbooks to me." He also took out his high school textbooks and started reading.

The four boys were eating in the main room. After dinner, they lit some mugwort to smoke out mosquitoes and stood in the yard, shouting, "Wu Qing, Wen Qing, come over and play cards."

Wu Qing walked out the door and said to Luo Yixing who was talking, "I have something to do tonight, so I won't play cards. You guys can play by yourselves."

Luo Yixing said: "Gu Hua needs to read a book, so we are short of one person."

"You should read books too." Wu Qing took over. Taking the college entrance exam was so far-fetched that it would make people laugh if they said it out loud, but he also intended to guide a few educated youths to resume their studies.

Luo Yixing said: "I have graduated for several years, and I have already returned the knowledge I learned to my teachers."

Wu Qing didn't say much, waved his hand, and went back to the house to read.

The next day, Wen Qing got up early and went to the sunbath to practice kung fu. Her body needed more practice to recover to the peak of her previous life. When she was practicing military boxing, she found that her strength increased a lot. She picked up a stone from the ground, aimed at an old locust tree in the field and threw it. "Bang", the stone hit the branch she aimed at, shaking off a few leaves. It seemed that the aim was good, but the force should be increased to be aggressive. Wen Qing held her breath, consciously directed the heat flow in her body to her arms, aimed at a side branch of the big locust tree again, threw it hard, and the branch as thick as her wrist broke from it. Wen Qing practiced Baguazhang twice more and found that practicing Baguazhang also helped the heat flow in the meridians in the body to circulate, which was better than practicing sitting cross-legged.

Wen Qing finished her work and found that it was already late. She went home to have breakfast and went to the field with Wu Qing. Team leader Chen Tianxing divided Wu Qing, Wen Qing and Gu Hua from the west room into a group to be responsible for dredging a 200-meter-long ditch. Gu Hua was tall and thin. He and Luo Yixing were both educated youth from Songjiang. The three of them began to dig silt and weeds along the ditch. When they dug to a place, Wen Qing noticed something moving in the wet mud. She shoveled it and saw a loach in the mud. She quickly took out a water can and put the loach in it.

"Oh, we didn't bring any jars or buckets to put things in, so we can only put them in our water jugs," Wen Qing said.

"It's okay, you can drink the water I brought," Wu Qing said happily, "Maybe there are still eels in the ditch, let's look for them again."

"It should be somewhere with water. Let's start digging from there," Gu Hua also said that catching eels and loaches can also add a dish to dinner.

The three men stopped digging the ditch and went to a place where there was water. They reached out their hands to feel the bottom and walls of the ditch. Sure enough, they found holes where the eels and loaches had drilled out. So they dug up these holes, catching them as they dug. When they got off work, they not only completed the task of clearing the ditch, but also carried a can of eels and loaches, estimated to be two kilograms.

The three of them finished their work. Gu Hua was given 10 points and the two female educated youth were given 8 points. When they returned to the educated youth site, Wen Qing asked Gu Hua to find a wooden basin and said, "Brother Gu, it's best to let the sand spit out for two days so that the muddy smell won't be so strong when you eat it."

Gu Hua said, "Okay, I don't know how to do it either." Then he poured the eels and loaches in the jar into the wooden basin. Wen Qing added a few drops of vegetable oil and some clean water, and covered the basin with a wooden board to prevent the contents from running out.

Gu Hua picked up the wooden basin and placed it beside the courtyard wall, saying, "Is this all right? Do you want to change the water?"

Wen Qing said, "No, we will kill it and eat it the day after tomorrow. Can you cut open the eel and loach?"

"No." Gu Hua was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'll do it." Wen Qing said disapprovingly, and waved her hand again, "I'm going back."

Wen Qing went back to the kitchen to wash her hands and smelled the mud on them. Wu Qing was already cooking, so she went to wash the vegetables. There were still a lot of fish heads left over from yesterday, so she put four fish heads in a bowl and gave it to the male educated youth.

She arrived at the main hall. Gu Hua, Luo Yixing, Li Wei and Guo Jianguo were all there. Wen Qing said, "We caught a few fish the day before yesterday. I'll give you some fish heads." Gu Hua took them and said, "Thank you." Guo Jianguo said, "Wen Qing, you guys had a good meal." Luo Yixing glared at him and said, "Thank you, Wen Qing. We can make fish head soup."
