Chapter 170 Preparations before Summer Harvest

Wen Xin is now very skilled at making pickled fish.

The sauerkraut pickled last year was also cooked very well. Wen Xin took out one, washed it, and used it to cook.

The fish handling was left to Wang Yumei, who was very passionate about this matter. According to her, this made her feel very accomplished when she finally ate.

Several people were cooking their own dishes, and it was already an hour after they finished their work.

Wen Xin put the fish on the table and said, "Dinner is ready."

Only then did they see chopsticks flying, and they no longer cared to talk.

After finishing eating, the plate was basically empty. The four of them were slumped on the chairs, touching their bulging bellies. They still had unfinished words in their mouths, but their stomachs were already full.

Wen Xin gave each of them a few hawthorns and poured a glass of water.

"Come on, eat something to digest, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable later."

Zhang Ying greeted him and said, "I'm so satisfied with what I ate today. It would be great if I could eat like this every day."

Wang Yumei laughed and said, "Then we have to work hard, just eat like this, and don't make ourselves paupers."

Zhao Wanqing was also eating hawthorn and said vaguely, "Then we will all make a lot of money in the future."

Wen Xin thought about the time and asked, "Is it almost summer harvest?"

Zhang Yingying nodded, "Yes, that's why we only have three days off. It's just for us to adjust and buy some oily things to replenish our bodies."

Wang Yumei also added, "I see that many people are not at home today. They probably went to town to buy things."

Zhao Wanqing also nodded, "Yes, I'm so tired from the summer harvest. I won't have any strength if I don't eat enough."

Wen Xin also said, "I thought there was no one at the educated youth spot today. It turns out they all went to town."

Zhang Yingying asked, "Then shall we go tomorrow? I didn't buy much meat today. I was thinking of buying some more, as well as white noodles, so that I can make some dumplings and eat them later."

Wang Yumei agreed, "I think it's okay. If you do more now, you can feel more relaxed later."

Wen Xin also nodded and said, "Okay, let's go there again tomorrow and buy more. You can rest and adjust at home the day after tomorrow."

After this was decided, they talked about other topics.

The four of them were chatting and laughing, and seeing that it was getting late, they said goodbye.

The next day, we set off early again.

When they arrived in town, they unanimously decided to have breakfast at a state-owned hotel.

After arriving, each person ordered a small wonton and drank all the soup.

After dinner, several people divided their work. Wen Xin went to buy flour, Zhao Wanqing and Zhang Yingying went to buy meat, and Wang Yumei went to collect eggs.

They originally planned to collect eggs in the village, but the summer harvest was about to begin, and the villagers had to keep them to replenish their health, so they couldn't collect them at all.

Wen Xin was just showing off, she planned to take Bai Mian directly from the space.

Wang Yumei had better luck. When she went to the black market, she saw a little old lady lingering and hesitating at the door. She boldly stepped forward to inquire.

"Auntie, why are you here?"

The lady was startled and she was about to run away.

She was pulled by Wang Yumei and whispered, "Auntie, do you have any eggs here? I'll exchange them with you. I don't dare to enter the black market. I happened to see you and asked."

The aunt glanced at her and confirmed what she said was true. She leaned over and whispered back, "Girl, I have five kilograms of eggs here. How many do you want? To be honest, I am also afraid of something happening. If it weren't for the real difficulties at home, I wouldn't do it." come here."

Wang Yumei's eyes lit up and she said, "Auntie, let's talk in another place. I want all these eggs."

The aunt felt very happy when she heard that this man had helped her.

The two of them went to a corner, paid with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.

Zhao Wanqing and Zhang Yingying are still queuing up at the pork shop.

Wen Xin found a place to change into inconspicuous clothes, covered her face, carried a basket on her arm, and went to the meat factory.

As soon as I walked in, I saw a man wearing a shirt and carrying a briefcase.

Wen Xin quietly came up and asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you want white flour rice?"

The man suddenly heard the sound and was startled, but he became happy after hearing the content clearly. Although he works in a meat factory, his family has a large population and the food supply in the city is limited, so his family is almost out of stock.

He whispered, "How to sell it?"

Wen Xin saw that he was a man who was not short of money and said, "I don't want money, I just want to exchange some meat with you."

The man happened to be a director, and he was very excited when he heard this, "That's right, there are pig heads, beef, and mutton in the factory now. What do you want?"

Wen Xin's eyes lit up when she heard that there was beef and mutton, "No matter what they sell, I want it all."

From what he said, he knew that he was a wealthy man, but it had nothing to do with him. He wanted food.

"I can take you in to pick out a selection, and you can buy it directly with money." The man said.

Wen Xin nodded, "Okay. How much food do you want? I'll pick it up first."

Seeing how happy he was, Wen Xin felt relieved and planned to give him some sweetness.

The man's eyes lit up, "I want fifty jins of white flour and fifty jins of rice. Do you have any dried noodles? Here's ten jins."

Hearing the amount, Wen Xin's eyes twitched, but she still replied, "Okay, you wait for me here, I will go to my companion to pick up the goods. In ten minutes, you can find me in the corner over there."

After agreeing on a location, Wen Xin went to prepare.

Put your things away and wait for someone to come. This can be regarded as a small test for that person to see if he is honest and trustworthy.

Sure enough, when ten minutes were up, the man came over and couldn't take his eyes off the food on the ground.

Wen Xin said, "These total one hundred and sixty-five yuan."

The man immediately took out the money and said, "I need to find someone to transport these home first. Can you just wait for me for two minutes?"

Wen Xin nodded.

After the food was sent back, the man felt relaxed and said, "I am the director of the meat factory, and my name is Hou Chao."

Wen Xin said, "My name is Zhang Wen."

After entering, Hou Chao took her directly to the meat selling place, which was divided into several areas. Pork, beef, and mutton were all processed.

Wen Xin's eyes seemed to be glued to it.

Hou Chao didn't waste any time and gave her a basket and said, "You can choose whatever you want, they are all cheaper than other places."

Wen Xin was not polite and went directly to choose.

Pig ears, pork belly, pig trotters, fat and thin meat, have some. Beef also has offal, and a little bit of all kinds of meat. The same goes for mutton, lamb chops, lamb faces, offal, and a little bit of other meat.

Hou Chao looked on with his mouth wide open in shock, but he didn't say anything when he thought he was rich. Just stand aside and watch the wind.

In the end, Wen Xin picked out two large bags of meat. Hou Chao helped to carry it out and put it in the corner for Wen Xin and others to pick it up.

Hou Chao said, "Comrade Zhang Wen, I wonder if I can buy food from you in the future?"

Wen Xin thought for a while and said, "Okay, but I may only come once a month."
