Daily life of female supporting actresses in the 1970s

Zhao Weidong said disdainfully, "Xu Zhiqing, you're going too far. The Hericium erinaceus supply and marketing cooperative is selling them for 50 cents a pound, but here they're over ten yuan, and there are so many other mushrooms. Why don't you trade them for a pair of rain boots and a raincoat?"

Xu Yan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Look at my things, look at my raincoat, and then you can talk."

Then he ran back to the house and got out a pair of military waders and a raincoat.

Zhao Weidong remained silent. Ordinary ones were not worth that much, but military ones were of much better quality, and ordinary people couldn't buy them even if they had money.

He could only say, "This is more like it." Then he said to Jiang Yanqiu, "Give me the ones you pick next time."

"Ok."

In less than ten minutes, she had replaced all the mushrooms she had picked from the mountain, leaving a few for dinner.

After the transaction was completed, Zhao Weidong finally noticed Zhao Lanlan's side. Seeing her waiting, he said embarrassedly, "Zhao Zhiqing, did you pick any Hericium erinaceus?"

Zhao Lanlan quickly said, "A little bit, not much."

"Let me see." Zhao Weidong was a little disgusted after taking a look. The quality was far inferior to Jiang Yanqiu's.

Of course, I didn’t know that most Hericium erinaceus grows in high places. Zhao Lanlan mostly poked them down with a stick, and many of them were damaged.

Jiang Yanqiu climbed up to pick them, so the difference must be huge.

But he still bought them all. Zhao Lanlan's elm yellow mushrooms and hazel mushrooms were indeed of good quality.

Later, when Liu Yuanda came back, Zhao Weidong bought all the food he had picked, left some for the other educated youth to eat, and then took them back to the city.

He said he wanted to take it back to his mother to dry and eat in the winter to prevent it from going bad. This is the advantage of being close.

Zhao Lanlan looked at the money in her hand and felt a little regretful. She should have gone there with Jiang Yanqiu.

Hers is more than twice as much as Jiang Yanqiu's, but the price is only one-third of Jiang Yanqiu's. This is why Zhao Weidong raised the price.

Although Xu Yan only gave a raincoat and rain boots, the total cost was more than 20 or 30 yuan, and industrial coupons were also required.

Xu Yan also knew that she had suffered a loss, but these days while drying wheat, she heard a lot of people she worked with talking about Jiang Yanqiu, both good and bad.

Thinking that the person who invited them to dinner that day must have good intentions, I felt sympathy for the little girl and decided to help if I could.

It's not easy for people to pick mushrooms when they are so wet. Anyway, she wants to buy some mountain products and send them back, no matter who she buys from.

Jiang Yanqiu went back to the house without knowing what happened in the front yard. She heard people talking next door and found Qiao Lei, Lin Xiaomei, Lin Shaoyang and others chatting in the yard. The Tian sisters were also there.

Let’s talk about ginseng later, I’m going to cook.

But how come Qiao Lei, who didn't pay much attention to Gu Qingqing in the book, ran to the next door?

Later, it was only because he saw that Gu Qingqing was in such a miserable state that he paid attention to the other party. Gu Qingqing was moved by the other party and became good friends with Qiao Lei and Lin Xiaomei.

It’s too complicated and Jiang Yanqiu doesn’t want to think about it anymore.

Of course, after Qiao Lei discovered that there was no system mall, although her space could grow through irrigation, the production speed was similar to that outside.

After paying back Gu Qingqing, Qiao Lei only has fifty yuan left, and she feels anxious because she has no money.

I wanted to build a good relationship with Gu Qingqing so that I could wholesale some things there to make some money for future use, so I came here to communicate with her when I had nothing to do.

Jiang Yanqiu waited until she fell asleep that night but the others didn't leave.

I was woken up by the radio the next day. I had to go to work today. There was so much work to do in the fields in autumn. It was a mercy that I didn't get notified to go to work because it didn't rain yesterday.

When Jiang Yanqiu heard some noise next door while washing up in the backyard, she called out, "Captain Lin, are you guys available? I have something to talk to you about."

Lin Shaoyang replied to her: "It's convenient, you decide."

Jiang Yanqiu took the ginseng to the wall. Lin Shaoyang and Gu Qingshi were washing up. She handed the ginseng to them and asked, "Can you help me check if this is ginseng?"

Lin Shaoyang and Gu Qingshi didn't know Ye Zi, but they had seen the real person before.

Let’s be honest: “We don’t know how to make fresh ginseng either.”

Wang Haiyang, who had just woken up, ran out after hearing the ginseng. He looked at it for a while and said, "Yes, it looks quite old, but I'm not familiar with it. Did you dig this yesterday?"

Jiang Yanqiu nodded and said, "Well, I don't know if it is true or not. I just look at the leaves."

Wang Haiyang secretly sighed at his good luck; he had gone there several times but hadn't seen it. After looking at it for a while, he said, "If you trust me, sell it to me. But I don't know the price or age. I'll take some time off and go to the commune to find someone to identify it. I'll give you a price higher than the market price."

His father has been tortured a lot over the years and is now in very poor health. He wants to buy this ginseng to help his father recuperate and save his life.

Jiang Yanqiu said: "This is not good, this is a collective matter."

"We didn't see anything." Lin Shaoyang and Gu Qingshi said in unison.

But I thought that you should bring it to us for confirmation instead of showing it to the team.

However, I feel that Jiang Yanqiu is much smarter than before. It is obvious that they have money and are deliberately using it to test them.

But see through it but don’t say it out.

Wang Haiyang also laughed and said, "There are only a few people who would really hand it over. If we don't tell others, no one will know. It just so happens that an elder in my family is sick and needs it, so you can transfer it to me. You can buy some supplies and exchange the remaining supplies for money."

Jiang Yanqiu asked, "Sure. How long will you be gone?"

"Pack up and go." It's better to prepare this thing in time.

"I'll write you a list when I get back."

Jiang Yanqiu went back and prepared two military coats, two sheepskin hats, two pairs of fur shoes, a thick quilt, and an iron stove.

In addition to these winter supplies, hoes, pickaxes, buckets, shovels, hatchets, sickles and other farm tools, there is also oil paper to seal the yard in winter, which are necessary.

In addition, basic daily necessities such as cloth, wool, meat, soap, perfumed soap, vanishing cream, oil, seasonings, fine grains, etc. are optional. If you can buy them, buy them; if not, forget it.

However, Wang Haiyang has relatives working in the black market in the commune county, so there is definitely no problem buying these things.

Wang Haiyang grinned as he looked at the list, but still said, "I'll try to get it for you."

"If the money is not enough, I will give you more."

Today, some people continued to thresh wheat grains and winnow wheat bran, while the rest went to clean the drains.

The rain was so heavy this time that many drainage ditches were blocked by silt or collapsed. One-third of the people in the village were working in the drying yard, and two-thirds were cleaning the drainage ditches.

There are many people needed in the threshing ground, but most of the educated youth are reluctant to go there because the wheat bran flying on their bodies is too uncomfortable.

Gu Qingqing and the other three went to the wheat field to work as usual. Since it had rained, the wheat had become damp and needed to be dried out to prevent it from getting moldy.

Otherwise, if the grain station refuses to accept the public grain, the village will be ruined. It will be a lot of work to move so much wheat.

Cleaning the drains is not a job you do alone; you have to do it together.

Zhao Lanlan and Jiang Yanqiu told Zhao Weidong early in the morning that he had bought all the mushrooms from her and Liu Yuanda, and that the price was higher than the dried mushrooms sold at the purchasing station.

Jiang Yanqiu was not surprised, because in the book, Zhao Weidong's family controlled the black market.
