A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

After listening to what Zhao Yuanchao said, Shen Jiaren was instantly delighted. It would no longer be a problem to prepare her own meals for herself from now on. If she often ate with others, it would be difficult to take out the food in the manor.

Chen Jiaojiao said, "Ah, we have to eat separately? But what should I do if I can't cook?"

Chen Jiaojiao was spoiled by her family since she was a child, and she had never been to the kitchen. How could she cook for herself? It would be very difficult for her to eat alone.

After listening to this, Zhao Yuanchao directly replied, "You can find someone to partner with. If someone is willing to partner with you, then there is no problem. As for the partner, you need to decide for yourself. If no one is willing to partner with you, then you can only find a way on your own."

After hearing this, Chen Jiaojiao looked directly at Xu Hongxia and said to her, "Are you willing to share a meal with me? I can't cook, so I need you to cook for me, but I won't let you suffer a loss. I can give you a little more food."

There were two new educated youth, and it would definitely be inconvenient to share a room with other educated youth. Moreover, in this era, people attached great importance to work style. If some gossip was spread by others while they were having a meal together, it would be hard to know how to end it.

But there are only three girls, Shen Jiaren and Xu Hongxia.

Shen Jiaren, she didn't want to be with me at all. She didn't give me any face on the train and was unfriendly to me. She even stayed in a single room in a haunted house. So when I got off the train, I had no choice but to choose Xu Hongxia.

Shen Jiaren looked at Xu Jiaojiao's eyes that were looking back and forth at her and Xu Hongxia, and couldn't help but want to laugh. Don't say that you don't want me to partner with you. Even if you wanted to partner with me, I would directly refuse. Do you need that?

Xu Hongxia heard what Chen Jiaojiao said and felt that she was not at a disadvantage. Chen Jiaojiao's family conditions seemed to be very good. If Chen Jiaojiao could give her some food subsidies, it would be fine for her to cook every day. After all, there was nothing to cook at home, and cooking here could provide enough food and clothing. Then she said, "Okay, then we can share the meal. My cooking is not that good, so just don't be disgusted when the time comes."

Chen Jiaojiao was very happy after hearing this. When the new and old educated youth were chatting before, she learned that two girls among the old educated youth had already teamed up, and she might not be able to fit in, so it would be best to find someone from the same batch.

As for the two new male educated youth, they naturally chose to eat together.

Looking at it this way, Shen Jiaren was the only one left.

When Chen Jiaojiao saw Shen Jiaren alone, she instantly felt very happy, because she was isolated and could only cook and eat by herself, and looked so pitiful.

Shen Jiaren looked at Chen Jiaojiao's face which kept changing and ended with a smile. She couldn't help but find it funny. Her facial expressions were really rich.

It seemed that she was alone, but this was what she wanted. If someone wanted to eat with her, she would have to think about not offending others. Now she was alone, wasn't this better? It saved her the trouble of refusing, and it was also more convenient for her to cook for herself.

After the meal arrangement was completed, Zhao Yuanchao, the team leader of the educated youth camp, said, "There is only one iron pot in the educated youth camp, which is shared by all the educated youth, so it will be troublesome for the cooks to line up.

It is recommended that if you have the conditions, you buy your own pot. If you don’t have the ability, everyone can just make do with what they have. "

In this era, buying an iron pot is absolutely unaffordable for many people, after all, the Great Leap Forward had just ended not long ago.

Not only do iron pans require industrial coupons, but they are also relatively expensive.

The most crucial problem is that villagers cannot get industrial coupons. Industrial coupons are only available to people who have jobs in the city. When the company distributes benefits or wages, they will give out one or two industrial coupons.

If villagers want to use industrial coupons, they must exchange them with others. The key is that these industrial coupons are difficult to redeem and are a scarce resource.

Shen Jiaren suddenly felt fortunate that when she went to the countryside this time, she asked for all the industrial coupons from Liu Zhaodi. Although she didn't know if they were all, at least some of them were enough for her now.

After listening to what Zhao Yuanchao said, Shen Jiaren felt that she could buy a small iron pot later, so that it would be more convenient for her to eat. After all, she now had money and tickets in her hands, so she didn't need to save on this for the time being, and the main thing was to make it convenient for her to eat.

"Then I'll buy myself a pot later. This way there will be one less person using the collective pot, and it won't be so crowded." Chen Jiaojiao said.

Zhao Yuanchao listened and nodded, "Okay. In addition, you educated youth just came here today, and the team leader said that you don't have to work tomorrow. Get familiar with the environment, buy daily necessities and things you need, and start working the day after tomorrow.

If you want to buy something, the supply and marketing cooperative is in the town, and it takes less than 20 minutes to get to our production team, so it’s not too far away.”

Chen Jiaojiao took a deep breath after hearing this. "Isn't it far enough to walk for 20 minutes? Aren't there any means of transportation? Wasn't there a tractor just now? Aren't there any bicycles? If we really walk there, won't we be exhausted to death?"

"This is already considered close, and compared to working in the fields and earning work points, a 20-minute walk is already good." Zhao Yuanchao replied with a smile after hearing what Chen Jiaojiao said.

Although he knew that Chen Jiaojiao might not understand what he was saying now, she might need to wait until she officially started working on the ground before she could understand what he was saying.

When they first went to the countryside, didn’t they know how hard the work was? Now they have gotten used to it, haven’t they?

Time is a good thing that can smooth out all the edges.

Chen Jiaojiao was thinking that she needed to buy a bicycle. The conditions in the countryside were so bad that she would need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative from time to time to buy things to improve her life. If she had to walk every time, she felt that her legs and feet would become useless. It would be better to buy a bicycle so that it would be convenient to go back and forth between the supply and marketing cooperative and the production team.

“The firewood is piled in the corner over there. We old educated youth picked it up. You can use it, but when we go to collect firewood later, we have to go out together to collect it. We can’t wait until we run out of firewood before we collect it.

The water tank is in the kitchen, and you need to go to the village to fetch water. Considering that it is difficult for female educated youth to fetch water, the male educated youth take turns to be responsible for the water in the tank. The new male educated youth should pay attention to learning how to fetch water from the old educated youth.

The female educated youth take turns cleaning the yard. You new female educated youth should also pay attention to this and communicate with the old educated youth to see how to take turns. " Zhao Yuanchao then introduced the educated youth point.

After hearing these arrangements, the newly arrived educated youth felt that the division of labor was very fair. Everyone had something to do and was doing it.

After saying what needed to be said, Zhao Yuanchao called on the educated youth to help each other cook so as to prioritize the problem of eating. After all, everyone was hungry. The old educated youth had worked all morning, and the new educated youth had been busy all morning.

While everyone was busy, Chen Jiaojiao went back to the house and took out a can of meat and handed it to Zhao Yuanchao. "This is my first day here. I'm not familiar with this place. I can't cook yet, and I'm not very good at housework. I'll trouble you to take care of me in the future. Captain, please take it and add some food. Thank you for your help."

When the old educated youth saw the cans, their eyes and facial expressions became more lively. When they heard that there was meat to eat, they all speeded up their work so that they could eat the meat as soon as possible.

When Chen Jiaojiao took out the can of meat, not only did she want to build a good relationship with the educated youth, she also wanted to improve her life. After all, she didn't have anything to eat on the train. Canned meat was still meat, and it had some oil, which could improve her life.

"Chen Zhiqing, let me thank you on behalf of everyone!" Zhao Yuanchao answered Chen Jiaojiao as he opened the can and put the cut meat into the pot.

"You're welcome, Captain." Chen Jiaojiao waved her hand and looked at the canned meat poured into the pot.

After a while, the dish was ready and served.

For the staple food, I steamed some sweet potatoes and potatoes, and made some corn and multi-grain pancakes. For the dish, I just stewed a pot of canned food, potatoes, and cabbage.

Maybe it’s because there’s canned meat in the dish, so it smells delicious.
