"Why don't we get some unshelled rice to sell?”
Qin Yi didn't think of selling the white rice. Nowadays, the rice was brown rice, which was a kind of rice that had not been processed after being shelled. It was not processed white rice.
In terms of texture and taste, white rice was better. But from a nutritional point of view, brown rice was better.
This was also the reason why more and more rich people liked to eat brown rice in the future.
Even his parents often went back to their hometown to buy 100 catties of brown rice to eat during the rice harvesting season.
Given the current situation, it would be strange if he didn't attract attention if he took out his white rice. Although he didn't know the details of the 1970s, he still knew some things.
Things would be different at the end of this year.
He continued to walk around the town for more than half an hour before he rode back to the village.
However, on the way, Qin Yi secretly cut two strips of fat pork belly from the space and tied them with straw.
In the end, before he could reach home, the villagers he met on the way saw Qin Yi riding a bicycle with two pork belly hanging on his back. They all looked at him in shock.
Everyone in the village knew about Qin Yi's family situation.
The only child left in the family of three naturally understood. But suddenly, this single seedling got a bicycle and meat from somewhere. This was a little scary.
"Qin brat, where did you get this car and meat?”An elderly villager asked.
"Oh, I'm working at the supply and marketing cooperative. This meat was a new employee benefit given by the club. The club lent me this car. It's convenient for me to go to town to do things." Qin Yi said what he had prepared.
"So good." "Does the club still need people?" Sir System asked excitedly. Maybe my eldest grandson can do it too."
"We have enough people." Qin Yi shook his head. However, if they need people in the future, I'll let everyone know.”
"Alright, alright. The kid from the Yellow River family has also grown up."
"This benefit is so good. Look at those three layers of meat. They're so fat.”
……
Qin Yi greeted everyone he met along the way and did not dare to stop. Bikes and meat were two good things that were ostentatiously passed through the streets. He was afraid that others would be jealous and gossip about them.
Soon, he arrived at his eldest uncle's house. It just so happened that his uncle's family had just finished work and washed up.
"Hey, brother, where did you get this car?”Qin Dali, who was washing his hair at the door, saw the bicycle his cousin drove over and immediately said excitedly.
This time, the person inside was lured out.
"Yi, what happened?"
First Uncle Qin asked Qin Yi. Lin Xiaoli, who was beside him, was staring at the two pieces of meat in Qin Yi's trailer.
It had been a long time since he had seen so much three-layered meat. It was not time to slaughter the pigs at home. They didn't dare to slaughter them.
Qin Daming and Qin Dali quickly came over and touched the bicycle.
Qin Yi repeated what he had said on the way to his eldest uncle's family. Then, he handed the piece of pork belly, which was about two catties, to his eldest aunt."Auntie, this meat is for you."
"No, this is a benefit given to you by the cooperative club. How can this be?"
Although Lin Xiaoli wanted it, she wouldn't really ask for it. Asking for food from a junior? What kind of words was that?
"Yi, you can take it back to eat." Do you have salt at home? If there was, he would marinate it so that it would be easier to store.”
Qin Yi directly placed the meat in his brother's hand and said,"
"I already have one. I need to eat this one for two to three days. By the way, uncle, I'll be working in the cooperative in the future. There will be a lot of benefits.
But for the production team, I'll put the work points for the past few months under your name. This brigade should be fine, right? I'm afraid that if I don't do it, my work points will be deducted.”
"After dinner, I'll go to the captain's house to ask. It shouldn't be a problem." After all, the food for the first half of the year was about to be distributed. A few days won't make a difference."
"Alright then. I'll go back first."
Qin Yi nodded and was about to leave on his bike. "What are you going back for?" asked Uncle Qin. Let's eat here tonight."
"I still have some things to deal with at home. I have to go to work tomorrow." Qin Yi shook his head. Otherwise, it'll be too late."
"There's no rush." First Uncle glared at Qin Yi.
This time, Qin Yi could only agree. However, he also handed over the meat in his hand. He asked the auntie to do it together.
Qin Daming smiled and gave the meat to his mother. Then, he said to Qin Yi,""Brother, let me try riding this bike. There shouldn't be any problems, right?"
Qin Yi smiled and said,"Go ahead." But will you?"
"You must be joking." "I've ridden it before." Qin Daming glared at him. However, that car belonged to the captain's family and was very precious. This was something Qin Jun had secretly pulled out at night.”
Qin Jun was the grandson of the production team leader, Qin Yonglian. He was about the same age as them. The playmates in the village were in groups, so they were naturally very familiar with each other.
"I'll try too." Qin Dali said.
"Alright, let's go to the sunning ground and try.”Qin Yi wasn't worried that something would happen to the car.
In this day and age, the quality of things was first-class.
He remembered that his parents had bought a battery-operated water heater in 1998. In the end, it took 15 years. This was because he wanted to switch to solar energy. Otherwise, it could still be used.
Therefore, it was one thing for things to be expensive, but it was really worth it to be durable.
"Then wait for me! Wait for me!" Qin Dali, who hadn't washed his hair yet, hurriedly ran inside and shouted.
Qin Daming immediately sat on it and went to the sunning ground.
Qin Yi sat in the backseat and ignored Second Brother.
In the end, after Qin Dali came out, he shouted," Wait!" while chasing after them in his red singlet and cloth shoes.
The grains on the sunning ground had already been collected. It was very spacious.
At this time, it was almost time for dinner. There were almost no children playing here.
"Yi, is there any problem with the supply and marketing agency?”
He watched as Qin Dali pedaled his bicycle in circles. Qin Daming asked his cousin.
"Don't worry. Brother Jiang was a very easygoing person. Big brother, wait for me to settle down in the supply and marketing cooperative. I'll find another way for you and Second Brother.”
Qin Yi looked at Qin Dali's excited expression and smiled."
"The few educated youths in the village have gone back, which means that the policies above have been loosened. The village was busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Although they were given two rations, they could not stand the fact that there were many people in the family, so they did not get much.
Many families borrowed money and food to survive. We are all young people, we shouldn't be confined to this field.”
Qin Daming looked at his cousin and smiled."
"You have indeed changed a lot. However, this was how it was these days. He didn't dare to do anything else. Just like what he saw in town, once he was caught, the consequences would be serious. Besides, if it wasn't enough to eat, they could eat the river or the mountains. The community would also turn a blind eye.”
Qin Yi could understand the thoughts of people in this era.
Those ten years of turmoil, no matter who it was, they would turn pale at the mention of it.
Only those who had experienced it would understand that being careful and keeping one's place was the truth of survival.
Unless they really couldn't live, they would take the risk.
"Big Brother, I heard a piece of news in town. The higher-ups might have changed their policies. However, it was not clear what the specific policy was. It was estimated that it would relax business transactions. In the future, he could also sell them on the streets.”
Qin Daming's eyes lit up, but then he shook his head and said with a smile,
"I heard Captain talking to my father about policies. They said that this policy was like a woman, turning hostile at the drop of a hat.
Everything was fine initially, but now that they had fallen out, the consequences were clear. Lil 'Yi, since you're able to join the supply and marketing company, you should work hard. As long as he didn't make any mistakes, this was also a golden rice bowl.”
"Yes."
Qin Yi did not explain too much. It was difficult to understand the other party's thoughts without experiencing it personally. But he still said,
"The supply and marketing cooperative will purchase a lot of things. If there's a way, I'll look for you and second brother.”
"Okay."
