In the reborn era, the lucky bag is enjoying the show in the factory area.

Today is Saturday, December 28th, and tomorrow is Sunday. Luo Yu can have a day off.

Realizing he hadn't checked in yet, he opened the system with his mind as he walked towards the mine.

【Sign in】

[Successful check-in, the reward is as follows:]

100-year-old wild ginseng

2. 100 yuan in cash

Congratulations, host, on successfully surviving for one week in this other world. The reward has been stored in the system space. Please check it yourself.

As the emotionless mechanical sound faded, Luo Yu successfully fell to the ground.

"Holy crap, I made it!"

She didn't care about a hundred yuan, but she couldn't care about wild ginseng, especially a hundred-year-old wild ginseng. This stuff is valuable now, and even in future generations, no one with money could buy it.

What's wrong with this system? It only gives so little each day, what's wrong with it today? Just because she successfully survived for a week?

"Is this Xiao Luo? What happened? Did you fall? Do you need me to help you?"

While Luo Yu was still lying on the ground, completely bewildered, hurried footsteps echoed through the alley.

Luo Yu shuddered, quickly got up from the ground, turned around, and flashed a bright smile.

"I'm fine, I was just a bit dazed from the fall, thank you."

The old man who came up behind waved his hand, "It's good that you're alright. I saw you fall right behind me, it gave me a fright."

The roads are slippery in snowy weather, so please be careful.

"Xiao Luo, you'll have to go shovel snow soon, right? I saw you carrying a shovel."

Luo Yu smiled and flicked the snow off his clothes. "That's right. Now that the snow has stopped, we need to clear the snow in the mine quickly. Otherwise, once the sun comes out, the snow will melt and then freeze again, and the comrades will slip when they walk home from get off work."

The old man looked at Luo Yu with a smile, "Little Luo, you're really at a high level. No wonder you're a high school student. I've heard from Lao Xi that you're a very sensible child."

"By the way, I live right next door to you. Old Guan's house is between me and your boyfriend, Captain Xi. We're neighbors. My surname is Qian, you can just call me Uncle Qian."

Grandpa Qian wasn't very old; he looked only three or four years older than Guan Daqiang, so calling him "Grandpa" wasn't wrong.

Luo Yu chuckled and replied, "So it's Grandpa Qian. I was wondering who it was that recognized me so quickly."

Grandpa Qian chuckled and patted his thigh. "That's right, I knew who you were the moment you came out of the Guan family's house."

The two walked and chatted, and soon arrived at the mine. They took out their work IDs, waved them, and walked through the gate.

After entering, the two separated. Luo Yu arrived at the office building, opened the door, placed the shovel at the entrance, and quickly lit the stove to boil water.

"Xiao Luo is the first one here again. How about lighting the fire? I'm here right now. You can start the fire first, and I'll go get some water."

Aunt Liu threw the cloth bag on the table, picked up the kettle and ran out to fetch water in a hurry. Luo Yu didn't even have time to say hello before she disappeared.

Luo Yu smiled and shook the tree, lighting the birch bark. Soon the fire was burning.

Aunt Liu filled the kettle with water, placed it on the stove, and rubbed her hands together, looking at the flames inside.

"It's cold enough today, it'll definitely be colder tomorrow."

"By the way, Xiao Luo, tomorrow's market day, and it happens to be Sunday. Are you coming?"

Luo Yu thought about it carefully.

Before, there were no markets in Fushi. People who wanted to buy things could only go to the supply and marketing cooperative or risk going to the black market.

However, the black market is strictly investigated. If you are caught, you will be fined, and if the circumstances are serious, you will be sent to a labor camp in the Northwest.

Not only were the goods from the supply and marketing cooperatives expensive, but farmers also couldn't buy them without coupons. If they wanted something, they could only ask relatives in the city or exchange it with others privately.

After a while, the people couldn't stand it anymore. After much deliberation, the authorities decided that they couldn't cut off the people's livelihood, so rural markets came into being.

The market in Fushi only started this year. There are several large markets in the surrounding rural areas. Among them, the closest market, Wangyingzi Market, is held on the 3rd, 6th, and 9th of each month. On these days, the villagers bring out their grains, cured meat, chicks, hand-woven coarse cloth, handmade cloth shoes, woven bamboo baskets, wild vegetables, and other items to exchange for goods.

Of course, the most common items exchanged were money and various receipts, but this couldn't be said explicitly; it could only be described as bartering.

For city dwellers, this day was also an opportunity. The cloth sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives was too expensive to afford, or they couldn't buy it because they didn't have cloth coupons. But the market had coarse cloth that was cheap and didn't require coupons. Moreover, it was sturdy and durable, so it was very popular.

If the grain supply is insufficient, you can buy some here on this day, but the amount cannot be too much, about twenty catties is acceptable. If you want to buy more, you can't, because the grain is often snatched up as soon as it is put out.

In addition, the cloth shoes made by the villagers are more durable and more comfortable to wear than those sold by the supply and marketing cooperative, so the market is still very popular with the people.

These markets are tacitly approved by the government and are far safer than black market transactions.

"Little Luo".

Seeing that Luo Yu hadn't spoken for a while, Aunt Liu looked at Luo Yu with suspicion.

Luo Yu snapped out of her reverie. "Sorry, Aunt Liu, I was just thinking about what to buy and I got distracted. By the way, Aunt Liu, do you and the other aunties go every time?"

Aunt Liu shook her head, "How can I go every time? I can only go on Sundays when I don't have to work."

"Xiao Luo, if you want to go, think carefully about what to buy when you get back today. Lots of things at the market are quite cheap and useful."

Luo Yu smiled gratefully at Aunt Liu, "I understand, Aunt Liu. I'll ask Aunt Xi to come with me tomorrow, and we'll go together."

Aunt Liu nodded with a smile, "Sure, we know Lao Xi too, we're quite close."

Oh dear, my brain! Xiao Luo, if you're going tomorrow, you'll need to get a bicycle. Wangyingzi market isn't close to here; it usually takes about an hour by bike, and with this snow, it'll probably take an hour and a half to get there!

Luo Yu looked out the window. "How about we take a car?"

Aunt Liu thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. It's cold to ride a bike, and I might fall in the snow. I'd rather take a car."

As the two were chatting, several middle-aged women arrived. Once everyone was there, Director Xu came in from outside, put down the cloth bag, and said, "Let's go, let's go shovel snow. The areas have all been assigned."

The group put on coats, scarves, gloves, and hats, covering themselves up completely. Each person carried a shovel, and they marched out of the office building with great pride and high spirits.

When I got downstairs, I saw that other departments had already started working on it.

Director Xu then led a few people toward the main gate, pointing to an area of ​​about 100 square meters and said, "Let's work with the comrades from the publicity department to complete the snow removal task in this area."

"Xiao Luo, you draw a line in the middle for a bit, but don't do too much. It's quite cold, and we old ladies can't stand the cold."

Luo Yu wanted to show off his skills... to relive the fun of snow removal from his student days, but when he saw it, he realized that was all?

The total area is only about 100 square meters, and it is divided into two parts. Their half is then divided into six parts, so she doesn't even get 10 square meters.

Looking back, wow, people in other departments were already working hard, scattered about, and it was easy to imagine that everyone had a lot of work to do.

Luo Yu twitched her lips. "Director, is there fewer people in this area compared to other departments?"
