Chapter 311: Educated Youth vs. Village Grass 42
"Brother, look at these, they are worth almost 4,000 yuan. I have another box of pearls here, I'll give them to you to replace the rest of your money." Qin Zhan came over curiously, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He saw an imperial green bracelet in the box, the color was warm and seemed to have a mysterious glow;
There is also a blue and white porcelain bowl with exquisite and delicate patterns, which seems to be telling an ancient story;
Some calligraphy and paintings also lie quietly inside, exuding a strong cultural atmosphere;
There is also a box of wild pearls, each of which is round and full, sparkling with charming luster.
Qin Zhan felt that he had made a fortune this time. This deal was simply perfect!
"Thank you, Brother Tiger. My eldest brother will definitely like it. I think I can come again in twenty days. I don't know when the next time will be. My eldest brother asked me to go south with him.
Next time I will prepare more things. Brother Hu, please prepare the money and things. Next time should be more than this time.
"By the way, can Brother Tiger eat this TV?" Qin Zhan said, imagining that in the big cities of the 70s, black and white TVs were still a rare thing. There probably weren't many people in the Northeast who had the channels to get one.
"Can you get it, brother?" Xiao Hu was so shocked that his eyes widened and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.
Televisions are not just difficult to get. First, they are expensive and ordinary people simply cannot afford them.
The second reason is that this thing is in short supply! Even in big cities like the capital and Beijing, it is in short supply.
"My eldest brother can get a few from Gangcheng. If you can eat them, I will bring them back. But the price should not be cheap, more than 500 yuan each." Qin Zhan explained.
You have to know that in that era, a 12-inch black and white TV cost 420 yuan, and you needed a ticket.
This ticket costs 100 yuan if bought separately. The key point is that even if you have money and a ticket, you may not be able to buy it.
"Brother, if you can eat it, you can eat it. I'll order three, no, four." Brother Hu's face flushed with excitement. He had already started imagining that he could send the TV to the city and sell it for a good price so that he could make a fortune.
"Okay, that's it for now. I'll take the stuff with me. When you move things at night, please be careful with people around. Just lock the door for me when you're done, and leave a few people here to watch it." After saying that, Qin Zhan carefully carried the box and left.
He didn't walk far when he saw that there was no one around. He then used his special method to put the box directly into the space and walked away swaggeringly.
Qin Zhan quietly took out a large amount of meat, various snacks, and candy from the space.
In this special period, these supplies cannot just appear inexplicably. We need to find a suitable reason.
After all, if someone suddenly smells the aroma of meat, it would be a big trouble. In this environment where supplies are relatively scarce, it is like a blockbuster bomb.
"What did Qin Zhiqing buy again?" a villager asked curiously.
"Buy some meat and cakes. My wife is exhausted from the harvest. Buy some food to nourish her." Qin Zhan answered with a smile. He now gets along very well with the people in the village, just like a family.
This was all thanks to the last time he divided the wild boar. That was no small matter. After that, the villagers looked at him differently and recognized him from the bottom of their hearts.
"Qin Zhiqing is really caring." The villagers praised him one after another, their eyes full of envy.
"Brother Qin, will you go up the mountain later?" Liu Li asked expectantly.
"I'm not going today. Go back and rest. I'll call you guys when I go back in a few days. I also catch some rabbits and other things, which will be handy for the banquet. If you're free, come join us."
Qin Zhan openly told everyone that he and Song Zibai were going to have a wedding banquet. He hoped that this happy event would liven up the whole village and let everyone share in the joy.
When everyone heard this, they responded enthusiastically. The scene was as lively as the New Year.
When everyone arrived, we returned to Dayangshu Village together, chatting and laughing.
"Zibai, why don't you take a rest? What are you doing?" As soon as Qin Zhan entered the house, he saw Song Zibai bending over in the yard, scrubbing the jar seriously.
"Brother Qin, you're back. I was thinking of making a few jars to pickle some pickles for winter." Song Zibai raised his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
The winters in the Northeast are long and cold, and there are no fresh vegetables at all, so pickling vegetables has become a must for every household to survive the winter. Song Zibai did this for the sake of his family.
"Isn't it too late to pickle now?" Qin Zhan frowned. It was almost November, and he always felt that pickling vegetables at this time might not only not taste good, but he was also worried that the nitrite content would exceed the standard and be bad for the body.
"Let's make less and pickle a jar of sauerkraut so we can stew it with meat later." Song Zibai's eyes sparkled. Ever since Qin Zhan came, the family's living standards have been rising steadily. During the autumn harvest period, there are delicious foods every day. He even feels like he has gained some weight recently.
