With the spiritual spring space, rebirth in the red era

Chapter 77 High Price of Grain and Oil

"Take a closer look to see if this woman bought the snakehead fish?" Wu Guohua, a young police officer, pointed at the window and asked Xue Ming.

The detention room was closed on all sides with only a small window open. Qiu Hongyan squatted with his hands on his knees and sat on the floor that was only made of wheat straw. His hair was messy and his eyes were red and swollen. He must have suffered a lot.

"Yes, she said that the hollow silver dollar was found under the bed while cleaning." Xue Ming felt that she was not Wu Sijin's accomplice, otherwise he would not have spied on the silver dollar.

Zhao Qinghong talked to Xue Ming at noon the day before yesterday. He said that the hollow silver dollar contained a note with a series of numbers written on it. He also said that Wu Sijin was a lurking military reunification agent.

The reputation of military commander is quite big. When Xue Ming was accidentally injured by Wu Sijin's slingshot, he just wanted to give him a few whips quietly, but he accidentally touched the big melon.

The two came to another detention room. Wu Guohua opened the observation door, and Wu Sijin sat cross-legged on the floor with his eyes closed, looking unruly.

"This is the guy. He showed off his slingshot in front of me and I saw the fox tail." Xue Ming said.

"The reactionaries will never die in destroying me. Thank you Comrade Xue for uncovering the enemies hidden among the people." Wu Guohua saluted.

"This is what I should do. You are too polite." Xue Ming wanted to tell Wu Sijin that sometimes saying sorry can save lives.

Wu Guohua took Xue Ming out of the office area and came to the dormitory. He respectfully invited Xue Ming to rest in the director's dormitory and arranged for the cafeteria master to bring a bowl of green pepper and shredded pork rice.

The food here is so good. Xue Ming was "under house arrest" in the dormitory for three days. He ate preserved egg and lean meat porridge in the morning, green pepper shredded pork rice bowl and tomato scrambled egg rice bowl at noon and night.

You can move around freely, provided that you cannot leave the dormitory door. You can also ask the guard for supplementary daily necessities, and the guard will satisfy you as long as it is within your limits.

"Today's dish was fried in peanut oil?" Xue Ming finished the green pepper and shredded pork rice bowl in one go without wasting a grain of rice, rubbing his belly and burping.

Peanut oil is much more delicious than pork and rapeseed oil. Xue Ming suddenly wanted to come here to work and have a meal. Peanut oil is more in demand than food these days. It is the first time he has eaten peanut oil in such a long time.

Patting his butt, he walked to the gate of the dormitory area, took out five cents and gave it to the armed guard, "Comrade, please help me buy a pack of Double Happiness cigarettes."

Young Xiaomengang blushed and accepted the money. Double Happiness cigarettes cost 4 and 5 cents. Every time he helped run errands, he would get a few cents of errand money. "Comrade Xue Ming, please hold on for two more days. I heard they said that the enemy agent will soon confess."

"Thank you for informing me." Xue Ming returned to the dormitory and entered the space. Dahuang barked when he saw his master, ran over, grabbed his trouser leg and pulled him back.

"What's wrong?" Xue Ming followed it to the wheat field and found that several wheat seedlings had pulled out ears of wheat.

"F*ck!" Xue Ming couldn't help but swore. His hand, which was trembling with excitement, slowly came closer. After enduring it again and again, he still didn't dare to touch the wheat ears.

Walking around the wheat field, I saw a lot of wheat ears again, and I became more and more excited, "Is this the rhythm of a good harvest?"

It has been less than a month and a half since 15 acres of wheat was sown, and the wheat seedlings have ushered in the heading period ahead of schedule.

An old farmer in Zhaocun said that it takes two months for wheat to go from sowing to heading. It seems that space can indeed speed up the growth of wheat. The old farmer also said that wheat needs to be watered when heading.

The wheat fields must be watered as soon as possible for the upcoming harvest. Xue Ming couldn't help but feel like returning home. After so long, his uncle should have made an animal-drawn waterwheel.

After leaving the space, I heard a knock on the door, "Comrade Xue Ming, are you asleep? I've bought the Double Happiness cigarettes you wanted."

Xue Ming opened the door and took the cigarette handed over by the guard. "Comrade, call Director Zhao Qinghong for me. I have something very important to tell him."

"I'll go right away." The guard didn't dare to delay and immediately went to call someone. At this time, the canteen master An Guoshun came over to clear the dishes and chopsticks, "Comrade Xue Ming, whatever you want for dinner, Director Zhao arranged for me to open a small stove for you."

The chubby An Guoshun showed a flattering smile. Sure enough, after three years of drought, the cook couldn't starve to death. This old guy must have eaten a lot.

Xue Ming opened the cigarette case and offered a cigarette, "Master An, have a smoke."

"Good smoke!" An Guoshun held the cigarette in his mouth.

Xue Ming took out a match and lit a fire for him, "I want to ask Master An a question, where can I buy refined grains and peanut oil?"

The food in the space warehouse can last until the wheat harvest is harvested, but there is not enough cooking oil. Now there are only four pounds of lard and two pounds of soybean oil left. There is no oil or water in the stomach to resist hunger.

An Guoshun smoked quietly. After smoking one, Xue Ming immediately ordered a second one for him, "Master An, please give me some guidance. I will return to the countryside in two days at most."

"Okay, I won't smoke your good cigarettes in vain." An Guoshun closed the dormitory door and whispered, "If you don't have food stamps and oil stamps, you can only buy high-priced food and high-priced oil. Do you know what high-priced food and oil are?"

"Please give me some advice." Xue Ming pretended to be asking for advice humbly, feeling that this old guy was talking too much nonsense.

"The food stamps allocated by the state to everyone every month are fixed. Some people will eat half full to save food stamps. When they are in urgent need of money, they will sell the food stamps at a high price." An Guoshun said.

"What is high-priced oil?" Xue Ming has heard of high-priced food. Some people have the foresight to go hungry to save food stamps and sell food stamps for emergencies when their children get married or a family member gets sick.

"I have relatives in Hong Kong and Macau. My relatives mail them peanut oil and soybean oil, and they sell them to rich people at high prices." An Guoshun puffed out smoke.

Xue Ming took out his wallet from his pocket and stuffed twenty yuan into An Guoshun's pocket, "Please help me get twenty yuan of peanut oil."

"What are you doing?" An Guoshun was frightened and quickly put the money on the table, "I don't know anyone who sells high-priced oil. You can find someone else to help."

Xue Ming pointed to the loafers on his feet, stuck out his head and said in the smallest voice, "Loafers are a well-known brand in Norway, and the pair you are wearing are Hong Kong loafers."

These words directly shocked An Guoshun, and soon he smiled uglier than crying, "No wonder you have such sharp eyesight that you can spot spies. My uncle's family lives in Hong Kong."

"Master An, thank you." Xue Ming is a fan of Loafers. He bought a pair of Loafers last time in a department store. "How many liters of peanut oil can you buy for twenty yuan?"

"Peanut oil sells for 8 cents per catty in department stores and requires cooking oil stamps. High-priced oil does not require stamps and the market price is 1 yuan and 5 cents per catty." An Guoshun said in a low voice.

"Give me 13 pounds first, and I'll buy it from you later." Xue Mingshu stuffed 19.5 yuan into An Guoshun's pocket again.

"How dare you give me so much money directly? Aren't you afraid that I'll hack your money?" An Guoshun continued to be shocked while covering his pocket, feeling that Xue Ming's mind was abnormal.

"Don't worry about people who are suspicious. Don't be suspicious when you employ people. Is there any problem?" Xue Ming chuckled twice.

I said in my heart that if you have the guts to swindle my money, I will empty out the grain and oil warehouse in your cafeteria and frame the blame for you, the chief steward of the cafeteria, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to wash it off.
