Era: Start as a buyer

"Luo Cheng, there are no sweet potatoes at home."

"Ask Lao Zhang next door if he wants to order more. Save the sweet potatoes to eat next time. Order more gnocchi and send a bowl to Lao Zhang's family. Remember, pick the bigger sweet potatoes from Lao Zhang's family. Take it, the bigger one has more powder, it will taste better."

Luo Cheng's words made Zhao Qian confused. This is how she gets along with her neighbors. Although sweet potatoes are miscellaneous grains, they are not even considered whole grains. The home-made flour is fine grain, so exchanging a bowl of sweet potato gnocchi for a few sweet potatoes is not too much, but it seems a bit like a forced exchange.

"Go quickly, what are you doing standing around?"

The wife who just came in is disobedient? Luo Cheng frowned. If you don't obey, today is the day to go home, so you have to talk to Accountant Zhao.

"Oh, I'll go right away."

Seeing Luo Cheng frowning, Zhao Qian responded hurriedly. Anyway, it would be free if she didn't go there. She felt polite and asked for the sweet potatoes next door. There should be no problem.

After Zhao Qian left, Chen Laizi said a few words to Luo Cheng, saying that his daughter-in-law had just married, so he should be nice to her.

Luo Cheng wanted to say that he was not good to his wife. She would be short of rice, scrambled eggs, meat and so on. But think about it, Chen Leizi really wants to marry a wife, but because of his short height and not very good looks, it is too difficult to find a wife. If he wants to find a wife, maybe he will really listen to her.

But Luo Cheng doesn't have to worry about Chen Lezi's marriage. As long as he waits for another year, he will be able to talk to his wife just as easily. Women are going to starve to death, how can they still be picky? Most people would choose between living or starving to death. As long as Luo Cheng helps him when the time comes, his leopard skin will not be given away in vain. If you have a tiger skin, it won't be a loss if you give it to Luo Chengdu.

Luo Cheng and Chen Lezi sat on stools in the living room and asked whether his family had received any news about the establishment of a commune in the town. Chen Laizi nodded. The place where he lived was managed by a nearby village, and the villagers held a collective notice of the meeting.

In particular, the hunters near the village even said individually that the hunters would no longer be able to hunt casually in the future, and the hunters’ pots would also have to be handed over. Several villages have gathered together to eat in a public canteen, but this season the hunters are not like farmers who have food withholding and can eat until November. Therefore, those who do not have food deducted will have their work points deducted from their future work points, which means that others will be able to receive money in the future. Those who do not have food deducted will have their work points deducted at that time.

As for the future, you don’t have to worry about it, because in the future the grain harvest will be collective, and there will no longer be the problem of who has paid or not. Work points are only related to how much surplus is left after the harvest, and have nothing to do with eating. After all, the elderly, children, and some who do not farm will not be able to count the food, and they will all be equally divided by then.

Seeing that Chen Leizi knew it, Luo Cheng directly told him about the mountain rangers. The town would definitely recruit mountain rangers, and hunters who were familiar with the mountains would be given priority. However, there are at least a dozen households of hunters living in the mountains in the town, and only two or three mountain rangers are recruited. So if you have no connection and no prestige, it is difficult to become a mountain ranger.

Today Luo Cheng called Chen Laizi to take him to his cheap father-in-law's house and make him a mountain ranger.

"Ningzi, what about you? You also want to be a mountain ranger. Is Accountant Zhao capable of getting two people in?"

"I'm not going. I have a better place to go, Lezi. I'm going to work in the city from now on. It's like last time I gave my wife a job introduction letter about her work and rewards. It's awesome. From now on, I But as a public servant, you have to bow your head when you see me, do you understand?"

"Really or not, if you go to work in the city, you will really make a difference."

"I can still lie to you. Do you want me to show you a letter of introduction? Remember, you are illiterate and can't read it."

Chen Laizi was not angry when Luo Cheng teased him, but was sincerely happy for Luo Cheng. But if you want Chen Leizi to nod and bend, he has strengths despite his short stature, and his attack target is directly aimed at his lifeblood.

Since Luo Cheng has a better place to go, Chen Laizi also accepts his offer, if he can become a mountain ranger. It is indeed very suitable for him. Let him farm, and it gives him a headache just thinking about it.

"In the future, when you become a ranger, I can go hunting secretly. You kill two birds with one stone. If you see the rifle hanging on my wall, you will also be rewarded."

"Okay, it's okay for me to look out for you, but your hunting skills are not good enough."

Before Chen Leizi became a mountain ranger, the two began to conspire. Originally, Chen Leizi was not a rigid person, otherwise how could he and Luo Cheng become brothers. There are also Ergouzi, who are not so-called honest people. But being dishonest does not mean that you are a bad person. None of the three of them had done anything sneaky.

As for Luo Cheng, who always goes to other people's vegetable fields to get some vegetables, can that be called stealing? He does it openly and honestly. Stealing is called stealing only if it is done secretly. Luo Cheng would go get it when he saw someone there, and he would say hello to others when he took it.

If he doesn't give it, Luo Cheng won't force it, but if you eat a dishonor and don't give him face, it's not a question of food. It's a matter of face. There are many ways to regain face. Make sure you take the initiative to send food to apologize when the time comes.

However, Luo Cheng doesn't eat things for free. If someone has trouble, he can solve it by asking someone to fight.

The two of them chatted in the house for not long before Zhao Qian came back, made several big sweet potatoes, greeted Luo Cheng and Chen Laizi and went to the kitchen.

Next door, the old Zhang family.

"Lao Zhang, Luo Cheng's wife is quite polite."

"She is the daughter of accountant Zhao, and she is as uneducated as Luo Cheng. If Luo Cheng comes over, he will definitely be like his family. If he wants sweet potatoes, he will just look for them and take them away when he finds them. But that kid also has sense of proportion and will not take advantage of them easily. They are cheap. Believe it or not, the person who said he would deliver a bowl of sweet potato gnocchi later might have been Luo Cheng."

"I believe this. In fact, he took advantage of us. The three children in our family took more of his. It's just that he borrowed a big wooden basin for several days and didn't return it. It was so difficult to take a bath. inconvenient."

"I also raise turtles. I don't know what the use of raising them is. They are so big and have some meat, but they are too fishy and not tasty."

"Wake the child up, I'll light a fire, and the sweet potato gnocchi will be delivered later. Add some water to boil them, and everyone can eat some."

"Well, I don't know what kind of noodles are used in the noodles made by Luo Chengjia."

~~~

Cut the sweet potatoes into pieces and cook them directly in the pot. Stir the flour into it. It should not be too dry or too wet. Just throw small pieces into the pot.

For this reason, Zhao Qian went to ask Luo Chengfang how many times he had met, and was lectured again. I said eating gnocchi, not gnocchi soup. Naturally, I put more noodles and made three kilograms of noodles.

Chen Leizi walked here for twenty or thirty minutes, and when he took him to Accountant Zhao's house, he always had to talk for a while. Luo Cheng and Zhao Qian were about to return home, so it was nothing to have a meal at Accountant Zhao's house. Chen Laizi will almost leave by then. Even if Accountant Zhao calls Chen Laizi to eat according to etiquette, he will still refuse to go back.
