Yan Jiecheng also interjected," That's right, that's right. Can you finish reading all these books?"”
"That's not even close." Ye Shan said disapprovingly," These books are not enough for me to read for two days.”
"Aiya! You're such a prodigal."
Ye Shan smiled,"Third Master, if you think I've made a loss. How about you come with me next time and bargain with me? As long as it's lower than this price, I'll give you half of the price.”
As expected, the father and son did not say anything. Yan Bugui was already calculating how much he could get. However, he quickly said,"I can't squander with you like this. We'll talk about it when you add money to the family."”His voice became softer and softer, as if he had used a lot of willpower.
It seemed that this Yan Bugui was stingy, but not greedy. He had his own bottom line when it came to taking advantage of others, just as he thought.
"Then it's settled. I'll come and find you in a few days.”
Ye Shan returned home, put away his books, and started to prepare lunch. Seeing that the rice in the rice jar was almost empty, Ye Shan finally heaved a sigh of relief. He was going to buy rice later. He really didn't want to have millet porridge and noodles again. During this period of time, he had seen with his own eyes that the people in this courtyard were eating a mixture of Korean noodles and white noodles. Other than Xu Damao's family, who didn't eat Korean noodles much, even the first uncle often ate Korean noodles.
It wasn't that the First Master couldn't afford it, but it was decided by the policy of unified purchase and marketing. In the city, especially the workers, what they ate was trade grain. In some places, it was also called commodity grain. When the state balanced the grain revenue and expenditure, the five categories of grain, including wheat, rice, soybeans, corn, millet and other grains (including potatoes), were called trade grain. When calculating the purchase, sales, allocation and inventory of grain, trade grain was used as the unit of calculation. The wheat includes the actual wheat, flour, noodles, etc., which are converted into wheat. Rice includes the actual rice and rice grains converted into rice grains, as well as rice flour converted into rice grains. Soy beans include actual soybeans, bean cakes (meal), and the number of soybeans converted from bean flour; The corn includes the actual corn, corn dregs, and corn flour converted into corn. Millet includes actual millet and millet converted into millet. Among them, 5 catties of fresh potatoes were equivalent to 1 catty of trade grain.
In other words, one catty of food stamps could be exchanged for two catty of noodles, and one catty of white flour. If they were all exchanged for white flour, they might starve to death. Therefore, they had to eat a mixture of coarse grains and fine grains. At least you can buy whatever you want. In some places, there were also some hard ingredients. If you bought 10 catties of flour, 3 to 4 catties of coarse grains would be hard ingredients. It might even be dried sweet potatoes or even sweet potatoes, which were even more troublesome.
The farmers were the most miserable. They didn't even have food stamps. They couldn't buy anything in the city unless they went to the black market like Pigeon City. He could only rely on those few work points to survive.
This was also the reason why some people would sell food stamps. It was also the reason why all the girls in the countryside wanted to marry into the city.
After serving his mother, Ye Shan had a hasty meal and then rode to the library without stopping. There were quite a lot of books in the library. With his current progress, who knew how long it would take him to complete the mission. This library was quite large and had a lot of books. According to his current progress, he definitely wouldn't be able to finish it in two months.
Then, could he read multiple books at the same time?
He flipped open the two medical books, and sure enough, it didn't work. When he looked at another book, the original progress bar would be covered.
In that case, change it to two different types of books. Ye Shan placed a recipe book on it.
It really worked. The progress bar on both sides was increasing.
Then, how many books could he do at the same time?
For this reason, Ye Shan opened several mission rings in a row.
Only then did he realize that he could only read up to six books at the same time. He really needed to plan properly. He should be looking at six books.
After thinking about it carefully, he placed Medicine, Nature, Literature, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Physics in front of him. He had no choice but to remove the recipe.
Then, the people in the library saw a child placing books on the table. As he read, he flipped through them in a very orderly manner. If someone were to speak to him, they would see the child putting his finger in front of his mouth in a serious manner."Shh, I'm reading a book. Please don't disturb me.”
Although this method did not speed up a single mission, it was not a simple method. However, the process of gaining additional knowledge while doing other quests at the same time was very enjoyable.
One had to know that the other processes could increase one's knowledge. Who knows, they might be useful one day. More importantly, he was still laying the foundation for his future. At the very least, she couldn't give up on her studies.
In the following days, Ye Shan took a piece of cardboard with the words " I'm reading, please don't disturb " written on it and placed it in front of his desk. No matter what, people in this era were more conservative. There were not many people who were friendly or looked for trouble. Although people were curious about a child's strange behavior, there was no such thing as forcefully interfering and then being slapped in the face.
The most important reason was that in this era, those who could come to read were all cultured people, and those who had time and leisure. Ye Shan hadn't seen a single worker come here to read for a long time. The workers were all very busy and bitter. The cultured people of this era would always maintain their status. He didn't bother you, so what does it have to do with you? Why do you care how many books he reads at a time? Do you need to worry about him?
However, curiosity was still human nature. Although the people here did not come up to disturb them due to their status, there were still people who could not help it. There was an old man who had been watching Ye Shan for a few days. Ye Shan had always been using the same movement to read six books at once. Using the same pattern, he flipped through the books. If it was a sensationalist or some kind of child's game, it would have been boring after so many days. Could this child really read like this? Impossible!
After enduring for so many days, he finally couldn't take it anymore. He waited for the child to finish reading, put the books back on the shelf, and was about to leave. Then, he went up to him.
"Little friend? Why are you reading like this?"
Ye Shan was still thinking about other things when an old man suddenly appeared in front of him, giving him a fright.
"Don't be afraid, little kid. Grandpa is not a bad person. I have candy here for you.”As he spoke, the old man really took out a milk candy. Milk candy was a good thing. There were very few candy tickets issued. Generally, if one wanted to buy it, they had to rely on non-staple food. Grain and oil, non-staple food, and coal were all characteristics of this era. In the TV series, Second Aunt said,"Where's my gas donkey, my gas stove?”It was because these were all bought with money.
Food and oil, non-staple food, and so on were also part of the planned economy, and their rations were written on it. You could only buy as much as the allocated amount. If the allocated amount was used up, then sorry, you couldn't buy it even if you had money or tickets.
