Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

In the south, there are fierce students who focus on energy. If the land is not strong, it will be fertilized. Even the best land will be crippled. If it can grow for you, it will be good. What else do you want? "

Zhang Xingming squeezed another dumpling, wiped his hands, signaled Chi Meimei not to eat, and said to Lao Chitou: "Where has the uncle been? It seems that there are many places to visit."

Old Chi shook his head and said, "That's too much. After running for decades, I basically ran to the end."

……

After listening to Lao Chi playing for a while, Zhang Xingming rented a copy of The Deer and Ding Ji, took it out of the bookstore.

I don't feel it in the house, but it's much easier to breathe when I come out, but the room is still stuffy, the air is not circulated, and so many people are panting.

In the winter in the Northeast, the air in the house is not good, and the windows must be sealed with plastic sheets, otherwise the draft will make the house too cold.Throughout the winter, from October to the second end of April and May, people usually leave the door to open the meeting, so it is strange that the air can get better.

Looking at the time, there was still more than half an hour before class. After thinking about what Lao Chitou said just now, he walked along the road to the vegetable market.

After passing the grain station, a small two-story building stood there. It was the restaurant of Jian'an Company, called Jubin Pavilion. Zhang Xingming worked here for more than a year in his previous life.

Zhang Xingming looked up at the restaurant's sign, then looked into the room, it was dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.

After the restaurant is behind the grain station, there is a public toilet, next to the public toilet is the vegetable market.

At that time, there were not as many people doing business as in the later generations. There were more than a dozen sparse and cold stalls, and the sellers were wrapped in military coats and covered with cotton hats. Both eyes are outside.

Zhang Xingming walked over, and there was a fish seller, and this must be sold frozen, as those who do this like winter the most.People in Liaodong eat more sea fish, but most people are not used to river fish.

Those who sell tofu, bean sprouts, chicken meat, stewed pork head meat, Nanjing salted duck, Goubangzi roast chicken, and various pickles.

Go up a few steps, and there are vegetable sellers. Potatoes and cabbage are stored in the cellar in autumn. Selling them at this time is much more expensive than in autumn, and you can earn more, but this business will not last long. It can be sold until the end of November, and cabbage is rotten in the cellar, so no one dares to store too much.

The stall selling fresh vegetables is the most obvious. One has a car and a self-made incubator like selling popsicles in summer. It is covered with a quilt, and a few green vegetables are sold on the quilt. If you want to buy it, let me know how much you want to buy. Take it out of the quilt for you.

At this time, I didn’t say that I didn’t want to buy it after buying it. I had to fight it. After taking out the vegetables and weighing them, I couldn’t put them back.

"Buy green vegetables? What do you want? I have everything here." The vegetable seller pressed down his scarf with his hands to expose his mouth, and greeted Zhang Xingming with a white breath.

Zhang Xingming took a look. There were kidney beans (called green beans in the south), garlic sprouts, cucumbers, cowpeas, green peppers, garlic sprouts, leeks, celery, coriander, and eggplants. They were not the local big-headed eggplants, but the long-striped eggplants from the south.

There are also a few fruits such as apples, pears and bananas. The bananas look like they have been placed for a long time, and they are completely black and frozen.

"How do you sell kidney beans? Oh, tell me about them one by one, so I don't have to ask them one by one."

"Kidney beans for three and five yuan, garlic sprouts for four yuan, cucumbers and cowpeas for two yuan, green peppers for three yuan, garlic sprouts for five yuan, leeks and celery for four yuan, and coriander for seven yuan. What do you want? It's a lot."

"Five catties of kidney beans, five catties of cucumbers and cowpeas, a few green peppers, five catties of leeks and celery, and one catty of coriander." Zhang Xingming thought about it, and came anyway, so he bought some by the way, and weighed the same.

The vegetable seller looked at him carefully and said, "I really want it? Have you heard the price? Your adults didn't come?"

Zhang Xingming made some calculations in his mind, took out money from his pocket, counted eighty, threw it on the quilt, and said, "Don't worry now? Say it quickly, I'm going to school."

The vegetable boss looked at the money and asked again: "If you take it away, it won't be refunded. This one can't be refunded."

Zhang Xingming waved his hand and said, "Collect the money and order the food, no one will come to ask you to refund."

The owner of the dish was happy now, and it sold for almost 100 yuan. This is considered a big customer, and he started to weigh the dishes quickly.

Zhang Xingming also sold vegetables with his mother for a few years in his last life. This work is really hard, even seriously, it is much harder than growing vegetables.

I have to get up at four o'clock in the morning, and take the Jiefang truck to go to the Yidongqiao fruit wholesale market in the city to buy goods.

At that time, it was more than four o'clock in the morning in winter in Northeast China, and the temperature was basically in the minus [-]s to [-] degrees, which was the coldest time of the day.

Sitting in the open air in the compartment of the liberation car, I ran forty kilometers on the mountain road.

It took more than an hour to get there, the car was waiting outside the market, and the vegetable sellers went into the market to buy goods.

The vegetables are all box by box, or one scallion by one scallion, and they are not disassembled or opened. They are just piled up in the warehouse. Celery, coriander, garlic sprouts and cowpea are tied into large bundles and cannot be unpacked.

The Chinese way of doing business has not changed through the ages, everyone knows this, tie a stone on the bottom of the vegetable, tie some long strips of wet mud in the bundle of vegetables, and mix some frozen rotten under the good vegetables. Rely on the eyesight and experience of the people who sell the goods.

It was still dark at this time, and the few incandescent bulbs that Curry lit were just lighting up, so I couldn't see clearly at all.

I got the goods with my eyesight, and I had to carry them to the truck waiting outside the market. A basket of kidney beans weighed 100 to [-] catties, and a basket of cucumbers weighed more than [-] catties. No one helped me.

The owner of the truck put a large cotton pad in the body of the truck and put one end outside the cabin.

The loader brought the vegetables over, he stood on the car to pick them up, stacked them in the car, waited for everyone’s goods to arrive, and after they were arranged, he wrapped the cotton pads back tightly and tied them tightly with a rope, and drove back .

When the car is full of vegetables, there will be no room for people. Those who have loaded the goods go to the train station to take the commuter car back to Nanfen.

The train is faster than the car. When the goods arrive home, they are ready to take the car to the pick-up place and wait. When the car arrives, they will take their goods home. The work of purchasing is considered half completed.

Then you have to sort it out, take out the stones and wet mud, pick out the rotten leaves and dead branches of the vegetables, and arrange them neatly and put them in the selling box. Only then is it ready.Sometimes there are too many rotten vegetables in it, even if it is a loss.

Because the places where everyone buys the goods are similar, sometimes several vegetable sellers add up and sell it more expensively, and they have to get their money back anyway, and the common people will find that the price of a certain vegetable has increased in the past few days.

It is impossible to make money in this situation. In fact, it is not bad to be able to pay back. In this period, there are really too few families who can eat green vegetables every day. Selling green vegetables for a day can only be sold for tens of hundreds of dollars.

For example, Zhang Xingming's purchase this time is more than what he usually sells in a day, no wonder he confirmed it again and again, he really couldn't believe it.

……

The vegetable vendor weighed the vegetables and put them in bags, then put another big bag outside, handed it to Zhang Xingming, and said, "Here, the total is 93 yuan. You can give me another 13 yuan. No more than [-] cents." gone."

People in the Northeast like to count the whole money when selling things, and the pricing is the same. Generally, they are whole yuan, with a maximum of [-] cents, so that they can settle accounts.

Zhang Xingming took out another 13 yuan and handed it to him. He took the vegetables and walked forward. While collecting the money, the peddler shouted: "Come again, brother, I'm here every day, and I promise to pay you enough."

Zhang Xingming waved his hand at him.

Chapter 296 How round is the foreign moon (1)

Zhang Xingming went shopping for a few more minutes with the vegetables, and bought some fish and eggs at home.

Finally, I bought some ribs and meat, carried them to the police station, put the things in the trunk, went into the police station, washed my hands, and went to school.

In this era, most of the pork sold in the vegetable market was raised by the farmers themselves. The pork dealers harvested it, killed it and sold it themselves, and there were relatively few people who fed it.

Farmers are also reluctant to feed pigs, which is very expensive, and the feed in this period is also true.

The fat of good pork is hard, and the oil can't be washed off on the hands. Unlike later generations, the meat is soft and squishy. The so-called lard on the hands is wiped with a toilet paper and it is almost clean.

But at this time, the pig farmers did not have the money for future generations. The pigs took more than a year to be slaughtered, and the cost was too high. Unlike those of the later generations, they could be killed and sold in three to two months. If they eat pork, they dare not eat it. Only my invincible common people can eat everything.

Domestic fast-growing pigs began to germinate at the end of 87. At that time, the US Department of Agriculture promoted a lean hormone-type pig to China. The breeding cycle was about six months, which was more than half shorter than that of local pigs.

After the country's publicity and promotion, this kind of pig soon took root in the land of China.

Also because of the promotion and breeding of fast-growing pigs, the domestic hormone feed industry has developed rapidly.Then Chinese people boldly innovated and constantly "improved". Soon the formula and effect of domestic hormone feed surpassed that of Europe, and native pigs gradually disappeared from the table of ordinary people.
