To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

By the end of the year, Lou Bancheng's properties had been almost sold, and the gold, silver, and jewelry had been packed up.

The Lou family’s connections in Beijing over the years are beyond doubt.

Li Wenting exchanged gold for 50 US dollars in foreign currency for Lou Bancheng.

He also gave 10 US dollars to Lou Bancheng for investment, and the two parties signed an agreement.

The Lou family's crude furniture and other belongings were left to Li Wenting. Li Wen also exchanged the Lou family's antiques, which were afraid of breaking, for US dollars and took away everything that was easy to carry.

A complete set of French furniture, as well as the remaining wines in Loubancheng's wine cellar, and all kinds of rice, flour, grain, oil, and dry goods that could not be taken away.

Lou Bancheng's wife's surname is Tan, and she is a descendant of the Tan family's cuisine. The food in her kitchen is also very exquisite.

Dozens of people in the Lou family disappeared in one night.

Three large trucks carrying the Lou family's belongings headed straight for the Tianjin Wharf.

Lou Bancheng had already found a boat there, and the family boarded the boat under the cover of night.

Here, Li Wenting took away everything from the Lou family from top to bottom, even the firewood and honeycomb coal in the firewood rack in the backyard were not spared.

A broken house is worth a fortune. Anyway, my home has a lot of space and storage bags, so it will always be useful to save them.

Since all the servants of the Lou family had been fired, it was not until three days later that the neighbors discovered that no one was living in the Lou family.

Only then did they report to the street office. When the street people entered Lou's house, they were surprised to see that it was so clean, with only an empty house left.

Not even the big kitchen pot was left, and only wood ash remained in the dark stove.

People in the nearby alleys kept smacking their lips as they wanted to follow the people who were picking up the leftovers.

This capitalist is so cruel that he doesn't leave any good things for the poor.

In the blink of an eye, it was 58. Li Zhiyuan had graduated from university and was directly assigned to Union Hospital as a surgeon after his internship.

He Yuzhu from Siheyuan also got married, marrying Chen Lijuan, the daughter of He Daqing's junior fellow. This girl is good, strong and sturdy, specializing in white pastry and pastries, and can make beautiful things.

I work in the same restaurant as He Yuzhu and am also a formal employee.

He Daqing's wife is a very capable one. Xu Damao is jealous of He Yuzhu's wife because she is a good match and there is nothing he can do about it.

Good thing, this time the He family has three people making money, and the salary is not low. He Daqing is a second-level chef, He Yuzhu is a fourth-level chef, and Chen Lijuan is also a fourth-level chef.

He Daqing's wife washed and cleaned the house and took care of the deaf old lady and He Yushui.

They only cook one lunch at home, and three cooks bring lunch boxes in the evening. The leftovers can be heated up for breakfast early the next morning.

The deaf old lady separated one of her two rooms into a new room for He Yuzhu. When an old lady is old, someone needs to take care of her.

At this time, the rural areas were making false claims all over the world, boasting to the sky, and absurd stories of producing tens of thousands of kilograms per mu were emerging one after another.

The newspaper also reported that the yield per mu was over 10,000 kilograms, and a person could stand on the wheat ears.

There was a mass production of steel in cities and the countryside, and the streets issued a notice requiring every household to submit 50 kilograms of scrap iron.

The streets took the lead in building small blast furnaces to produce steel, catch up with the United States and Britain and make contributions to the country.

The whole city went crazy, and every household was looking for scrap metal. But there was no such thing as so much scrap metal.

The kitchen knives, broken pots and tin buckets in the house would have been taken down if Yan Fugui had kept a close eye on them, otherwise the door knocker of the compound would have been taken down.

The people at the steel mill don't have to worry. They produce this stuff there, so they just need to spend a symbolic amount of money to buy some from the scrap heap. This is a benefit of the steel mill.

The Li family's piece of land is all the spoils of their exploitation back then.

Organize your space and complete tasks easily.

The hospital also has a small blast furnace. The furnace for burning medical waste was modified by a mason and turned into a small blast furnace.

They started working after bringing coal from the canteen, and people from each department were sent out to help.

All the staff in the hospital received another glorious task, which was to hand in 20 kilograms of scrap iron each.

Li Wenting didn't seem stupid enough to say that this was nonsense.

He handed over the scrap metal honestly, took off his Zhongshan suit, changed into work clothes, and followed them to work.

The slogans were shouted loudly, and people firmly supported the national policies.

As the second-in-command, he unconditionally supports the work of the first-in-command, and as a Party member, he is always loyal to the Party.

After more than a month of hard work, I ended up with a bunch of black bumps.

All the hospital staff, from the leaders to the logistics staff, were tanned like charcoal.

The dean organized a vehicle to deliver this pile of black lumps to the steel mill, which was considered a glorious mission accomplished.

It’s not so bad in the city, but it’s even worse in the countryside.

In order to make steel, some cadres actually moved the pots from people's homes.

Under the pretext of eating in the commune canteen, why do you still keep the pot?

Some people are more careful and hide a piece of the pot.

The honest man only had a clay pot at home to boil water.

What’s even more infuriating is that after the canteen was disbanded, we had to use industrial coils to buy pots.

Where can I buy industrial coupons in rural areas? These coupons are paid with my salary.

An industrial voucher was issued for every 20 yuan salary. The commodities that could be purchased with the industrial voucher were quite wide, including towels, blankets, wool, handkerchiefs, batteries, axis lines, iron pots, aluminum basins, aluminum lunch boxes, enamel washbasins, enamel cups, enamel chamber pots, thread gloves, iron-shell thermoses, bamboo-shell thermoses, sports shoes, umbrellas, cotton-rubber shoes, sewing needles, sewing thread, oilcloth raincoats, laminated raincoats, rayon products, nylon underwear, leather shoes, alarm clocks, radios, belts, knives and scissors, imported blades, various bags, chocolate bars, and cigarettes, tea, and liquor beyond the prescribed amount.

The year 59 was destined to be turbulent. Xu Damao also got married and married Wan Haiyan, a ticket seller at the cinema.

Liu Haizhong's eldest son, Liu Guangqi, married Zhang Ximei, who worked at the machine repair factory. After they got married, they moved out of the courtyard and lived with his father-in-law.

Liu Haizhong sighed helplessly. The courtyard house was now full and there were no new houses for rent on the street.

There are too many wolves and too little meat. The houses in the entire city are not enough to accommodate the people. The streets have begun to mobilize the elderly and young people who have more houses.

Only those who exceed the standard are allowed to keep it for their own use, and all the other properties will be rented out to the people by the street.

I also went around this street to the courtyard where the Li family lived.

There are three main rooms, and two of them are warehouses, which the Li family converted into toilets. This is uninhabitable! There are no windows.

The yard is not small, but the street is short of space? It is short of houses.

The Li family’s yard is full of vegetables, so they don’t have to go out to buy them.

The weather is getting drier and drier, and the heat is making people feel uneasy.

Old people are cunning, and old horses are slippery. The deaf old lady was the first to notice that something was wrong.

He secretly asked He Daqing and his father to store some food.

Although grain is purchased and sold under unified supervision, isn't there still a pigeon market?

He Yuzhu's family stored more than a thousand kilograms of food like ants moving house.

There is no secret in the courtyard house. When others saw the He family buying food, they also followed suit and bought food to store at home.

The Li family also symbolically bought 1,000 kilograms of corn flour.

The place is ready and the cellar is still in good condition.

Jia Zhang became the grandmother, and Qin Huairu gave birth to a son for Jia Dongxu, named Jia Geng, nicknamed Bang Geng.

In the second half of 59, the grain ration began to be reduced.

The people already have little side dishes and are lacking in oil and water, and it will be even more difficult for them to survive if the quantity is reduced.

Li Zhiyuan returned home and sat down on a chair. He didn't eat enough in the cafeteria at noon.

He doesn't have his own office yet, so he can't have his own meals secretly.

Xu Huizhen brought out a can of braised beef, a plate of salted duck, a plate of shredded potatoes with peppers, and a plate of charred pork strips.

The entire rice cooker was eaten up by the three of them.

It is easy to be discovered if you eat specially prepared meals at work, so the three of them were starving at the end of the day.

Li Zhiyuan took a deep breath and felt that he was finally alive.

Li Zhiyuan: Mom and Dad, you don’t know that the steamed bread in our cafeteria is harder than stone.

Not only was it black and tasted disgusting, I stretched my neck and drank a bowl of salty cabbage soup before I could finish the steamed bread.

My throat has been hurting all day. This is not a normal life.

Li Wenting, just be content with this. It's good enough that you can eat this steamed bread now.

This has just begun, and it will take three whole years. You'd better be careful. It's better to be a little hungry at noon than to be exposed.

People's noses are very sensitive these days, and others can smell the meat when you eat it.

The Li family was drinking tea when Liu Guangfu, who lived next door, rang the doorbell.

Li Wenting went out to open the door.

Liu Guangfu Uncle Li is holding a general meeting and asking you to go to the Intermediate Court for the meeting.

The three members of the Li family took their stools and went to the central courtyard.

In the middle of the central courtyard was the eight-immortals table of Yi Zhonghai's family, with Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and He Daqing sitting behind the table.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Li Wenting and his family coming, he hurriedly asked Wenting to sit next to me, a place specially reserved for you.

Li Wenting couldn't refuse, so he sat down.

Yi Zhonghai didn't waste any words and directly conveyed the instructions from his superiors that the food ration would be reduced by two kilograms per person starting from next month.

Mobilize the masses to substitute melons and vegetables, increase production and save, eat liquid food when they are free and dry food when they are busy, and eliminate waste.

Fortunately, everyone in the courtyard followed the wind and bought some food. Otherwise, they would have had a hard time getting by.

Even with the reduction in rations and the subsidies from stored grain, we can still survive.

But this was just the beginning, so people secretly went to the pigeon market and the black market again.

Cornmeal is only 30 cents a pound at the beginning, so hurry up and buy it. Who knows how much it will cost in the future.
