Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 113 Organizes digging for eels and fishing for loaches
The shuttle bus to Longjin Town in the morning still departed after 08:30, and Zhao Qian saw Luo Cheng on the bus.She also came out for a bit of shopping. She helped Luo Cheng wash all the clothes and shoes yesterday and took them to the car.

If it were Luo Cheng himself, he wouldn't wash his clothes in the sloppy hot weather for several days.Now there are three sets of clothes. Zhao Qian asked Luo Cheng to remember to change clothes when taking a bath, and bring the changed clothes to her to wash together when he comes back.

Luo Cheng also asked Zhao Qian to eat the cantaloupe quickly and not let it rot. Zhao Qian nodded and agreed. In fact, she was kind-hearted and had already cut two of them, each with many slices, and gave them to some in the yard. Children eat.

The driver this time was Master Zhang, who was the same as last time. They kept chatting along the way. Luo Cheng asked him to write down where he lived in the city.At that time, you can ask him to help bring some things back, so that it will be too obvious if he brings too many things back at once.When the time comes, it will be natural to ask the driver for advice.

After returning to the town, Luo Cheng did not go to his father-in-law, but went to Ergouzi first.After finding him, this guy was earning work points with his wife, who was also his cousin.What can I say about his cousin's appearance? It can only be said that she is better looking than most women in the countryside, but she cannot be said to be very beautiful.

Even when she talks, her voice sounds quite nice.

"Gouzi, the fields are being plowed. Are there many eels?"

"It's hard to say, maybe because of the recent rain, the eels are quite deep in the soil. Now you can see some by plowing, but if you want to get more, you have to keep digging along the hole."

"In this case, I am in a hurry to get it today. You can take a few days off to help me dig. No matter how much or how little I dig, I will give you one and a half dollars a day."

"Luo Cheng, you're just talking about money~~ My wife will dig along with you, it doesn't count as money."

"Forget it, but be careful. No one will eat this now. If you dig too much and others see it, they will know that it was sent to me. Then don't do it. The brigade will say that this is also a collective. No one will eat it. I still have to pay for the stuff.”

"Okay, if you don't dig a lot, I'll send it to you at night. If it's a lot, I'll send it to you as soon as the bucket is full."

"Okay, Ergouzi, how does it feel to sleep with a woman?"

"Hey, it turns out that this peeing thing can make people feel so comfortable. I won't tell you anything else. You married a wife earlier than me. Don't you know what happened?"

Luo Cheng smiled and didn't communicate with himself yet, but he didn't know how to communicate with Ergouzi about this matter. He couldn't say that his wife's expression was messed up by him at night~~ or something like that.

"Hurry up and ask for leave. You won't have to pay much for your work points today. I'll go find my sister and my sister and ask them for help if I have anything else to do."

"Don't worry, I promise I'll be more active in catching loaches than farming. This kind of land is really boring."

Luo Cheng agreed. He also hated farming, but he couldn't chat with him anymore. He had to go find his sister.

Not long after, Luo Cheng came to Luo Lan's house. In his sister's absence, she was working in the fields to earn work points. Her mother-in-law was taking care of her brother-in-law at home with her children.When nephew Liangzi saw Luo Cheng, it was his uncle who asked him to be affectionate. Unfortunately, Luo Cheng didn't bring him anything to eat, but he also drew a cake for him and said he would bring him sweets next time.

After finding out where he was working, Luo Cheng went there.

After finding the eldest sister, she was weeding, while her brother-in-law and her father-in-law were digging the ground.

"Luo Cheng, why are you looking for me in the field?"

Luo Lan saw that her brother was wearing a white shirt and blue trousers. He looked really good-looking.I am happy when my biological brother comes to see me, even if it is only a few days since the last meeting.

Luo Cheng called his sister's husband brother-in-law and pulled her aside.

"Sister, you have to do me a little favor. I won't be able to earn this work point in the past few days. Don't you have a dustpan at home? Use that to help me catch loaches in the ditch in the field. People in the city like this, and they get paid. You can trade it with me for food. You can fish for me for a day, and I’ll give you a dollar and a half a day. In addition, your brother-in-law and your father-in-law are digging in the ground. They also keep an eye out for eels, and they pack them up when they find them. , I also give each of them one yuan a day." It was a hot day, and it was much more comfortable to fish for loaches in the ditch than to dig for eels. Luo Cheng naturally arranged for his sister to go there, not even Ergouzi.

"Nariko, I'll give you this much in one day. I don't need any money to help you get it, but don't lose money."

"Sister, don't worry, I can sell it for just a few cents per catty in the city. If you get ten or eight catties, I'll make a lot."

"People used to catch this loach to feed ducks. How many cents can it sell for? Isn't it more expensive than rice?"

"Fish can be sold for a few cents. This is the price that people like to eat in the city. Hurry up, don't earn work points today and go help me catch loaches. If you don't want money, I can go to the city I’ll help you buy sugar, cotton, and daily necessities. These loaches and eels will be gone within a few days of fishing. Ask your brother-in-law if he and your father-in-law can work together. By the way, don’t make it obvious. Everything now belongs to the commune. Many people know that I am a buyer. If someone sees me asking for a lot, what you get may be confiscated, and I have to spend money to buy it in the commune."

"Okay, I will pay attention. Just wait, I will go talk to your brother-in-law now."

A few minutes later, my brother-in-law and my sister's father-in-law agreed to help him get eels. There were so many people in the team digging, so if you could say hello to those who found eels, you should be able to get some even if you didn't dig them intentionally.

Seeing that they agreed, Luo Cheng explained again that if he dug up anything in the past few days, he would send it to him.In addition, I asked my sister to borrow her big wooden basin and return it to her after use.When delivering loaches and eels, he would help carry them there. He also had to go to his parents' house to find Luo Yan.

After giving the instructions here, there is no rush to go to my parents' house. When we wait there, the canteen will be open for dinner.Luo Cheng didn't plan the time this time, and he didn't want to go to the cafeteria to eat, so he stopped eating at noon. He would catch rabbits in the afternoon when it was not so hot, and roast rabbits in the evening.

When I slowly arrived at my parents' house, my sister-in-law and my sister Luo Yan were washing clothes and so on. I said hello to my sister-in-law.Luo Cheng pulled his sister into the woodshed, which is where her sister lives now.

"What's going on? It's so mysterious."

"It's okay. Isn't there a stream at the foot of the mountain in front of us? I remember there were a lot of loaches there in the summer. Yanzi, please stop working in the fields these days and help me catch the loaches. No matter what No matter how much you make, I will give you a salary of one dollar and fifty cents a day, and I can go to the city to buy you cloth to make clothes, chickens and cakes to eat, and candies."

"Brother, stop talking. I'll fish it out for you. Even if I'm soaking in the river all day, I'll fish it out for you. You can really buy me some cloth. I haven't worn new clothes in a long time."

After hearing what his sister said, Luo Cheng looked at Luo Yan's clothes and thought about it. Now that he is capable, he can't leave his sister without new clothes.But he doesn't have the tickets anymore. Next time he goes back to the city, he can ask someone to ask for them or trade them for the tickets.But his wife also just got a new set of clothes. If he hadn't gone to the city, Luo Cheng wouldn't have bought any clothes himself.

"We'll go when it's not hot. How much money can we get from working in the fields? I'll calculate the wages for you today. After you earn the money, tell me anything you want and I'll buy it all for you from the city. .”

"Well, I'll wash my clothes and go. The water on the other side of the stream is very comfortable. I can fish for loaches there. It's not hot at all."

"Okay, be careful when you bring me the loaches. Sister and Ergouzi are also helping me get them. Now that there is a commune in the town, everything is a collective thing, you understand."

"I know, why don't I call my sister-in-law Qiangzi and my parents to do it too."

"I won't call them, but if you want to tell them, just tell them yourself. If they want to do it, let them find me."

There are a lot of things like loaches and eels in this era. If more people are asked to catch them, he may not be able to digest them.Unless he can find more buyers in future time and space.

After chatting with Luo Yan for a while in the woodshed, he introduced how many good things there are in the urban supply and marketing cooperatives, and told her that if she wanted to go to the urban area, she could take her to the urban area to play with Zhao Qian for a day or two before meeting him. return.He still has many rooms in the city that can accommodate him.
