He walked up to an old farmer and looked at the unhusked rice with narrowed eyes.
The weather in the north was suitable for growing noodles, but it was not absolute. It was just that they were used to eating noodles.
For example, the northeastern rice in the north was famous throughout the country. The food grown in the black soil there was very nutritious and delicious.
In this era, it was all about the community, and it was all collective assets.
As for collective assets, there was basically no unshelled rice. In that case, it could only mean that the rice was harvested privately. Or rather, it was picked up from the ground.
There wasn't much in the bag, only about six to seven catties. It was obvious that they would secretly put a little in it every day or pick it up from the ground.
However, he didn't care how it came about. It was even better to have this kind of unshelled one. Although there was the existence of the space and it could be produced, the production would definitely not be as high as the unshelled one.
"How much?"
It was still a short question.
"20 cents per catty."
Ju Yi calculated in his heart. This price was quite reasonable.
If he remembered correctly, in this era, which was the 1960s, prices were basically constant and did not fluctuate much.
Fine powder 261 catties, standard powder 171 catties.
Fine rice was 20 cents per catty, and millet was 10 cents per catty.
Peanut oil was 69 cents per catty, and pork was 84 cents per catty.
Beef was 70 cents per catty, and mutton was 76 cents per catty.
As for why pork was more expensive than beef and mutton, it was because in this day and age, who cared about nutrition balance? It was more important to be full.
Pork was much fatter than beef and mutton. In this day and age, fat meat was the mainstream because there was oil, but everyone's stomach did not have any.
Fat meat could be fried in oil, while cows and sheep could only eat lean meat. The difference was still very big.
As for why mutton was more expensive than beef, it was the same reason. There was more fat in mutton than beef.
As for the 20 cents per 500 grams of polished rice, it required a ticket. However, Pigeon City didn't require a ticket, so it was at least 40 cents.
However, this was unshelled rice, so it was cheaper. Two cents was not expensive.
He didn't bargain and nodded." Give me the bags. I'll take them all. How much?"”
The old farmer's face lit up with joy as he weighed it with a steel weight.
"Eight catties and two taels. Excluding the bag, it's eight catties. What do you think?”
Ju Yi agreed with this price. He took out his money and counted 1.6 yuan.
It wasn't easy. It was freezing cold and he had come all the way here just for this little bit of money. Moreover, the price was reasonable. He was really embarrassed to bargain with others because there was no need.
After the deal was made, both parties left without knowing each other.
He counted the money he had on him. He only had around four yuan left. If he had to eat vegetables, he could still live for a month. However, if he had to eat vegetables, it would be worse than killing him.
"Sigh, how did my predecessor live? There's only so much money left.”
He shook his head slightly. There was no one around, so he put the bag into his space. Under his control, he left some space for the chickens and planted them evenly on the ground.
Then, the water in the fountain seemed to be controlled by an invisible force and directly poured down.
After doing all this, she jogged all the way home.
He didn't have much money left, so he didn't expect to shop around anymore.
As for the little piggies, they were at least four or five yuan each. How could he have the money to buy them?
Even if he bought a little piglet, if he couldn't cash it out immediately, would he be able to survive?
Could it be that she was hoping that he would be like Qin Huairu and go to Silly Zhu's house to freeload food and drink?
Qin Huairu was a widow. More importantly, she was a widow who still retained her charm. It was only natural that she was willing to drink her blood.
However, he was different. A young man like him had also gone to ask for this and that. It would be strange if he was not kicked out.
The night in the city was extremely quiet. The smell of exhaust gas in the air was a little unpleasant.
However, this air that emitted an unpleasant smell was a paradise that many people dreamed of in this era.
This kind of smell could only be found in the city. After entering the city and having a job, it meant that he didn't have to get up early and work late every day to earn the pitiful seven work points.
They were so busy every day that it was not enough to eat. With such conditions, who would not want to live a good life in the city?
Any woman with some beauty would want to marry someone from the city.
Braving the blade-like cold wind, he quickly ran back into the house.
After shivering for a long time, she felt her body warm up. She then dragged her clothes and ran into bed.
"Aiya, it feels good."
Because she had run around in the middle of the night and exercised a little last night, she fell asleep quickly.
The night was silent. The next morning, when the sky was still bright, he had already woken up early.
Although he couldn't stand the environment in the public toilet, he had no choice. This was life now.
He didn't want to line up early in the morning, so he had to get up early.
Fortunately, they had given her enough charcoal last night, so the room was still quite warm.
However, it might be warm inside, but it might not be warm outside.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, she was startled by the cold wind outside.
However, no matter how cold it was, she had to go. She hurriedly ran to the toilet and took off her pants.
The weather was so cold that everything was frozen. It wasn't smelly, but it couldn't help but feel cold from the wind.
In less than two minutes, he couldn't stand the cold wind anymore. He hastily ended the time that was supposed to be enjoyable, pulled up his pants, and ran home.
After washing up, he checked his space.
However, he did not expect that he would be shocked when he saw it.
He saw that the originally small chick now looked like it was more than three months old. He did not know how it had grown without eating.
As for the rice in the field, it had already reached his ankles.
"Is this space that awesome? At this rate, it would mature in at least ten days to half a month?”
" This isn't f * cking scientific, alright?"
"Eh? It seemed that having this space was not a matter of science in the first place.”
He shook his head and no longer cared about these things. Instead, he rubbed his hands in surprise.
"At this rate, the chickens will probably be able to lay eggs in another three to five days. Then, they will be able to give birth to chicks. In another ten days, there will be an endless stream of chicken meat and eggs!”
One had to know that in this day and age, everyone had a fixed amount of meat.
For example, Silly Zhu, the class monitor of the canteen, had a quota of three catties of meat every month.
There would be nothing left after they finished eating, unless they thought of another way.
For example, Pigeon City.
Therefore, as long as he could raise the chickens well, he would have an endless supply of them at one yuan each.
Not to mention, selling 30 to 40 of them every month was like playing with them.
And eggs.
Although he didn't know how many eggs there were, he was sure that there wouldn't be any less.
How much would it cost then?
Eggs were considered meat in this day and age, so one had to pay for it.
