Quick Travel: The Long Road to Resurrection

Li family

After everyone left, there were only four members of the Li family.

Dad Li asked: "What's going on today?"

Only then did Mother Li tell him the whole story.

After hearing this, Father Li pointed to his head and said, "Oh! This girl from the Wei family is afraid there is something wrong here."

Mother Li said worriedly: "What should I do if I get blamed?"

Dad Li replied: "What can I do? I can't leave, so I can only hope that the girl won't come to my door again."

Mother Li sighed: "It would be great if we could move to the county seat!"

Father Li snorted coldly and said: "Huh! Why are you thinking of something nice? It's not dark yet! Let's dream about it at night!"

He added: "People in the city rely on their ability to get food. Our family has no food source and no money. If you dare to run out, you won't be afraid of being arrested as a homeless person."

After saying that, Dad Li went to the fields. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Their old friend Li Kaiqi thought that the things in the system could not be exchanged for money.

She told Mother Li that she was going to the county town tomorrow, and then went to the brigade headquarters to write a letter of introduction.

The next day

Before dawn, Li Kaiqi got up and started working. After washing and changing her clothes, she took out the money she had saved. She put on the biggest backpack at home and walked out. According to the memory of the original owner, when she arrived at the intersection of the production team, she saw Uncle Chang standing next to the bullock cart. Looking around.

"Good morning, Uncle Chang!"

He handed him the fare without hesitation.

Uncle Chang took the money and said, "Old man, are you going to town today?"

"No, I'm going to the county town. When is the latest time for Uncle Chang to return to the village?"

"It's the last time to get off work. It will be dark and it will be difficult to travel. Don't worry. Uncle Chang will wait for you before returning to the village today."

"Thank you, Uncle Chang."

After arriving in the town, I immediately took the shuttle bus to the county seat.

half an hour later

county seat

Li Kaiqi got out of the car quietly, went to a remote place, changed her clothes, wiped herself dirty with black soot, and put ten pounds of flour, ten strips of pork belly, and a total of brown sugar and white sugar into the big basket. Six packs, two bags of milk powder, two cans of malted milk and two watches.

black market

Li Kaiqi paid two cents and went in. As soon as she took off her backpack, someone came to ask.

"What's there?"

"Four, pork belly, white sugar and brown sugar, milk powder, malted milk, Shanghai brand watch."

After saying that, several people gathered around.

Several people asked excitedly: "How much does a watch cost? How much does pork belly cost? How much does milk powder cost?"

"A watch is 120 yuan a piece if you have a ticket, and 7 yuan if you don't have a ticket. A bag of milk powder is [-] yuan if you have a ticket, and [-] yuan if you don't have a ticket. Pork belly is [-] cents a pound if you have a ticket, and it's one yuan a pound if you don't have a ticket."

An aunt with short hair asked: "Young man, I want a pound of pork belly for free!"

Li Kaiqi also wanted to sell out quickly and said: "One piece weighs exactly one pound, so I won't charge you [-] cents to sell it to you!"

The aunt gritted her teeth, picked up this item, picked up that item, smelled it, and finally selected one and said, "This is the one."

The short-haired aunt took the lead, and all ten strips of pork belly were sold out in one go. The items she brought next were about the same, with only one watch left.

The man wearing a Chinese tunic suit and holding a briefcase looked hesitant when he heard that he had no tickets and asked for a watch of 160.

Finally, seeing that Li Kaiqi was about to leave, he made up his mind and walked over and said, "Comrade, can you sell the watch for 150 yuan?"

Li Kaiqi said cheerfully: "Deal."

After saying that, the man handed over the money, took the money himself and handed him the watch.

Then, she picked up the basket and walked out. She walked around several times and found a dead end. She changed into a village girl's costume, filled up her belongings, and walked to the family courtyard of the machinery factory.

When I entered, I saw an aunt walking out. The two of them looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.

Seeing a few people around, I heard the aunt say: "My cousin, why are you here? I've been waiting for a long time."

Li Kaiqi understood and said: "Cousin! I was delayed on the road for a while today, so I entered the city late."

Then, following the aunt into the house, she looked around and closed the door, saying eagerly: "Little girl, my surname is Wang and my husband is the deputy director of the factory. What do you have in this basket?"

"Four, pork belly, white sugar and brown sugar, white rabbit toffee, milk powder, malted milk."

She said with a curious look on her face: "Other people's family is just a few half-year-olds who live in poverty. Your uncle in our family is a serious leader after all. He has no shortage of meat every now and then, and he doesn't lack the meat of my two sons. I have food and clothing, but I don’t look like I’m growing tall, which makes me sad.”

Li Kaiqi listened to the aunt's words. The man in the family was the deputy director of the machinery factory. The family of four lived here and had enough food and meat to eat. He knew that she wanted milk powder and White Rabbit toffee. Her only precious two sons were not very old. , immediately put down the backpack and took out the milk powder and White Rabbit toffee.

The aunt looked at the milk powder and White Rabbit toffee and asked tentatively: "Can this Gaogan powder and White Rabbit toffee be cheaper?"

Li Kaiqi pretended to be embarrassed: "Aunt Wang, you also know how popular the White Rabbit toffee is in the supply and marketing cooperatives. You can't buy this thing even if you have candy tickets! You can't buy it even if you don't have a quota for high-dry powder. It’s even more rare.”

Then he said with a mysterious face: "This was brought back by my relatives in Haishi. If it weren't for my eldest brother to change his job, I wouldn't be willing to sell this valuable thing!"

How could Aunt Wang not understand that she was a smart person? The meaning behind her words was that she was not willing to get cheaper. She was afraid that she would not be able to buy top-notch goods and quickly added: "Aunt Wang, I was just joking with you, little girl!"

Li Kaiqi didn't want to talk nonsense and simply said: "Gaogan powder costs 7 yuan a bag, and white rabbit costs 3 yuan a pound."

After collecting the money, I was about to walk out when I heard the eldest sister say: "Little girl, next time you have such a rare thing, come to the eldest sister!"

Of course Li Kaiqi agreed with a smile, but she didn’t know whether she would come in the future.

I secretly filled up the items and went to the family home of another factory. I did this for several family homes before giving up.

I changed back to my original clothes and found a faucet to wash my face and hands. Seeing that it was already noon, I found a state-owned restaurant to eat.

State Hotel

Ordering window

The waiter asked impatiently: "What do you want to eat?"

"Guobao pork and braised pork, plus a bowl of rice."

The waiter glared at her and said: "One [-] cents plus one pound of food stamps, can you, little girl, finish eating?"

Seeing that she was also kind-hearted, Li Kaiqi gave her money and food stamps and replied: "Sister, I've finished eating."

I found a seat by the window and sat down, looking around.

This state-owned restaurant has two windows, an ordering window and a serving window. There are two female waitresses and one male waiter. The kitchen is invisible.

Besides, the tables and chairs in the lobby are only neat, and the entire wall has become white and yellow mottled, but it can still be seen that it was originally scratched, whether it was yellowed by smoke, or oxidized over time.

After waiting for a while, I heard a shout from the food delivery window: "Table 8, the food at table 8 is ready."

Li Kaiqi hurriedly came forward to serve the food, then walked with difficulty to the seat next to the window and sat down.

After sitting down, I looked at the two meat dishes I ordered. First, I looked at the plate filled with pot-roasted meat. The pot-roasted meat was covered with a layer of crystal clear gravy, and was also decorated with shredded green onions and green and red silk. A piece of pot-wrapped meat covered in sweet and sour sauce, it tastes great when you bite into it.

Let’s take a look at this braised pork belly dish. The braised pork belly is stewed in layers and is soft and fragrant. The pork belly is added with seasonings and secret sauce. It’s really a fragrant dish.

The food disappeared quickly as she moved her index finger, and so did the people around her.
