The two of them ran all the way back home. It was only about five o'clock when they got home, and the family hadn't gotten up yet.

"Lao Liu, find me the bucket where we put the radishes?" Fang Yuan said to Lao Liu.

Lao Liu quickly pulled over a wooden bucket. This bucket was used to store dried radishes at home. Every year during the radish season, the family would dry dried radishes.

Cut the radish into strips, dry it in the sun, pickle it into long slices, and store it in jars or jars.

When eating, use chopsticks to pick out two strips. If the conditions are good, sauté the dried chili peppers in rapeseed oil until fragrant, and then pour them into the dried radish. The taste is fragrant, crispy and goes well with rice.

If the conditions are not good, just cut it, cut it, or even hold it directly in your hand, a mouthful of dried radish or a mouthful of steamed buns, which is also a comfort.

It's not time to dry the pickled radishes yet, so the barrel is temporarily empty and useless.

Lao Liu dragged the wooden bucket. Fang Yuan quickly poured the eel in. Fortunately, this eel does not need gills to breathe. As long as the mucous membrane on the body is not dry, it will not die so quickly after leaving the water. Now it is even more active after seeing the water.

When we got up, dozens of eels were fighting in the water basin, splashing out a lot of water.

Fang Yuan quickly picked out the loaches and river shrimps in the basin and put them away, otherwise they would be killed by the eels.

In addition to loaches and river shrimps, there are also some monkeys, which are often called toads. These creatures are greedy. For them, earthworms and smelly mud are probably rare delicacies, so they actually dig in.

After getting in, I couldn't get out, so I became bloated, leaving the cage with nothing in it.

There are also many other small fish with thick fingers. These are called Chuanba Tiao in Jianghuai. They are meaty and do not need to be processed too complicated. They can be fried directly and then dipped in seasonings. You can also eat them empty mouth. They are delicious.

Very.

In fact, in addition to the eel, the river shrimps are also quite satisfying. Each one is as big as a palm, with rich meat and absolutely no pollution. The loach is just average. The meat quality is much worse than that of the eel, and it also has a very strong smell.

It has an earthy smell, but some people like this smell.

Fang Yuan took out the scale of yaoka from the house, and separated the loach and river shrimp. The oysters were too small, so they were ignored.

After finishing, the loach weighed 13 kilograms and 8 taels, the river shrimps were smaller at 8 kilograms and 2 taels, and the eel weighed 53 kilograms and 3 taels.

The total weight was more than seventy kilograms. Fang Yuan clicked his tongue and said, "I just said that when I came back, I was so tired that I couldn't breathe. I did so much."

That is to say, the current body, compared to the pampered body in the previous life, is really unable to carry so many things back. If you walk ten meters, you will probably be out of breath.

Fang Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Lao Liu, "Lao Liu, go to Secretary Wei's house. I remember that he has a bicycle. You can borrow it for me. He said that I have something urgent and I need to go to the Mining Bureau."

trip."

Lao Liupi was a fool, but he was actually quite reliable in his work. He never gave up on any work he was asked to do. He nodded and went out to find Secretary Wei.

The secretary of the production team is called Wei Guomin, and this name is the seed for becoming an official.

He is the only one in the entire production team who owns a bicycle. If anyone in the production team has an emergency and needs to borrow a bicycle, Secretary Wei usually won't say anything. He is a very open-minded and generous person.

When Lao Liu took advantage of his bicycle, Fang Yuan picked up a handful of pig grass, mixed it with other ingredients and fed it to the pigs.

Nowadays, the pigs we raise at home are local pigs, which are black pigs. There used to be an old saying that when a crow falls on a pig, it is usually black.

Some people think it's wrong. Pigs are obviously white, so how can we say they are generally black? In fact, serious domestic pig breeds are indeed black, and the large white pigs raised in the future are all imported from abroad.

Large white pigs have high yields, but their taste is not as good as local black pigs. However, during the development period, taste has to give way to output, and gradually fewer and fewer local black pigs are raised.

Fang Yuan fed the pigs, rinsed the troughs with clean water, and shoveled manure into the pig pens. In fact, pigs love to be clean. Some people think that the pig pens are dirty. That is because the pig farmers are too lazy to clean up. The amount of pig excretion

Being tall, it is difficult to be clean. If possible, pigs love to be clean than most animals.

After Fang Wen borrowed the bicycle, Fang Yuan put a straw lid on the big wooden barrel and added water to the wooden barrel. Not only did he not have to worry about the eel dying in a short time, but he also had to deal with it quickly.

Well, with so many people crowded together, there is definitely a lack of oxygen.

In addition, loaches and river shrimps were also packed in a washbasin for Lao Liu to hold. They were also covered with straw lids. It was quite difficult for Fang Wen to hold the small things, which were twenty kilograms.

Then Fang Yuan used the hemp rope at home to fix the barrel on the back seat of the bicycle, tied the washbasin to the barrel, and pushed the bicycle to get ready to go out.

When Lao Liu saw his fourth brother pushing the cart, he quickly followed behind and said, "Brother, you don't know how to ride?"

"How do you ride? If you fall down on the road, all these things will be lost." Fang Yuan said. In fact, he felt a little guilty. The last time he rode a bicycle was when he was in his thirties. I can definitely ride it now, but what will happen later?

There is a barrel and a washbasin tied to it, and Lao Liu is also following. You can't ride on your own and let Lao Liu run behind, right?

The two brothers pushed the cart out of the production team early in the morning. There was no oil at home, and the eels couldn't taste good. So they had to change some money back and go back to the cage if they wanted to eat later.

However, with speculation these days, ordinary people do not dare to do business, and naturally there is no market. Therefore, if you want to sell, you can only go to the city, to the area where the Mining Bureau's family building is.

Jianghuai Coal Mine is rich in resources. The most prosperous these days are the workers of the Bureau of Mines. They have a lot of money. In rural production teams, some families of three can only get together one set of clothes. Basically, whoever goes out has to wear it. But

The employees of the Bureau of Mines have linen, cotton, and high-quality materials.

Most men wear work clothes. The work clothes issued by the mines are strong and durable. Moreover, workers' work clothes these days are a good thing that can make people jealous. Being able to wear them means that they at least eat commercial food.

In 1978, having money might not necessarily buy you things. All good things require tickets, such as meat tickets, cloth tickets, Tang tickets, and TV tickets. Only with money can you buy the things you want to buy.

Coal miners do hard physical work, and it is also dangerous. They may be unlucky one day, so they are most concerned about food and drink.

But the meat tickets were limited, and the meat bought by counting the tickets was not enough for two meals. If you wanted to eat something good, there was no place to buy it. After going back and forth, a small market appeared near the family building of the Mining Bureau.

The small market opens at five o'clock every morning and ends at six-thirty. When no one is around in the morning, the smart and courageous people from the surrounding production teams will come to sell some eggs, home-grown vegetables, etc., for free.
