Chapter 5 No matter how bad it can go

"What can I do?" Li Siyan asked in a daze.

"Do whatever you can do." Jiang Xiaobai said casually and turned his gaze away. Wang Xiaojun and Liu Aiguo had already returned with wine.

"Two and a half catties of sweet potato shochu. Brother Xiaobai, do you taste the authentic taste?" Wang Xiaojun handed a bottle in his hand to Jiang Xiaobai as if offering a treasure.

"Okay, you have tasted it, I will not taste it, go and help Liu Feng and the others." Jiang Xiaobai knew the smell of wine on Wang Xiaojun's body.

Wang Xiaojun smiled, did not speak, turned around and put two bottles of wine on the table, and then went to help Liu Feng and the others.

It was getting dark gradually, and the lights in the yard came on for the first time after Jiang Xiaobai and the others moved in.

It turned out that kerosene lamps are lit every day, and even candles cannot be used in rural areas.

At this time, although some rural areas have been electrified, the price of one kilowatt-hour of electricity remained at 50 cents, and even reached the price of one yuan and one and a half in some places.

This is the case, and electricity is often cut off, so at this time in the countryside, electric lights are basically displayed. It was not until the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s that electricity prices returned to normal, and the rural areas were basically electrified.

Fortunately, tonight, the boss of the electrician still gave face to face, and did not cut off the electricity. There was a burst of smell of food in the yard, which made many people secretly swallowed.

Several female urban youths were busy with the last dish in the kitchen, and the male urban youths had already sat down around the table.

Soon the dishes are ready. The four Eight Immortals tables are put together. After a few years, they will be regarded as antique tables. At this time, no one cherishes them. Even some of the Eight Immortals tables are chopped and burnt.

The pork slices keep floating with stewed pork vermicelli, green cold wild vegetables, golden yellow scrambled eggs, hot and sour potato shreds, cornmeal pancakes.

This is a sumptuous dinner. Needless to say, this kind of food is not always available in this place, even before jumping in the queue.

Of course, Jiang Xiaobai is an exception. Although he was not a rich second generation before he was born again, he still had no worries about eating and drinking.

Many people looked at the table full of food and were already swallowing their saliva, staring straight at the food on the table, waiting for an order to start eating.

Wang Xiaojun quickly poured a glass of wine for everyone. Jiang Xiaobai slowly stood up from his seat holding the glass, looked at the 14 young people in the city, and said: "Comrades, brothers and sisters, we come from all corners of the world. Get together today. It's fate, let's have a toast."

After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, he drank the white porcelain jar, and everyone else also drank a cup. Putting down the wine glass, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes swept across everyone.

"What happened today, I believe everyone knows that this Jianhua brigade is very poor, and the poor are no longer able to unravel it. Have you heard of one dime per worker? In other wealthy villages, one worker can reach 50 cents, or even less. 8 cents."

Jiang Xiaobai paused slowly and continued: I believe everyone knows the situation we are facing now. There is no food, and it's summer for everyone. It's really good for everyone to wait until next spring when the green and yellow don't pick up. Maybe everyone can't survive.

Jiang Xiaobai said, everyone fell silent, even the most lively Liu Feng bowed his head and said nothing. This is a fact that everyone can't avoid.

Because everyone came here in the previous month, people in the village said that March and April were even more terrifying.

"The food on the table is very fragrant, but I think everyone knows how the meal came today, so I will ask everyone, do you want to endure starvation or drink and eat meat all?" Jiang Xiaobai looked at Everyone asked loudly.

"Drink and eat meat." Fourteen urban youths roared, even Li Siyan's face was flushed.

"Well, since you want to drink and eat meat, you must take a risk. I will tell you about our next plan. If you don't want to do it, you can also withdraw, but if you decide to do it, you can't betray everyone. ."

Jiang Xiaobai said in a deep voice, there is no way. In this era, you must be careful about what you want to do. The family contract system in Xiaogang Village is also in blood.

"Brother Xiaobai, just tell me what to do? No matter how bad it is, how bad can it go? The big guy said, isn't it?" Liu Feng stood up and said excitedly.

"Yeah, Brother Xiaobai, you can do whatever you want. I've had enough of this life." Wang Xiaojun slammed the white porcelain jar in his hand on the table, and the old white porcelain jar fell off again. Several pieces of paint.

"Xiao Bai, speak up, we listen to you."

"Comrade Liu Feng is right. This is already the case today. How bad can it be?"

"We want to change, we want to drink and eat meat all at once."

Jiang Xiaobai watched everyone's reaction and continued: It's the end of June, and the yellow peaches in the back mountains are our precious wealth, so my plan is to make canned yellow peaches.

After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, everyone exploded and started talking one by one.

"It's easy to make canned yellow peaches, but what about the glass bottles for yellow peaches?"

"Yes, if you want glass bottles, you have to go to those state-run factories, but how can those state-run factories sell glass bottles to us."

"Yes, this is not something that can be solved with money at all, and we don't have money anymore."

Listening to the discussion, Jiang Xiaobai showed a gratified smile on his face. There must be difficulties, but what Jiang Xiaobai is most afraid of is to make canned yellow peaches. What everyone discusses is not the difficulty of making canned yellow peaches, but he dare not. Go make canned yellow peaches.

"Quiet, everyone listens to Brother Xiaobai." Wang Xiaojun looked at Jiang Xiaobai's expression and said.

When everyone calmed down, Jiang Xiaobai said, "I know that there are difficulties. The only thing that is not difficult is to go to work and earn work points, but can you eat enough?

In this way, everyone listens to my arrangements. Tomorrow Zhang Yanmei will lead someone to vacate two of our houses and prepare to be a factory for making canned yellow peaches. "

"Okay," Zhang Yanmei nodded in response. This is the least difficult.

"Wang Xiaojun and Liu Aiguo, you two will go to the county town with me tomorrow to see if you can buy glass bottles."

"Okay, Brother Xiaobai." Wang Xiaojun and Liu Aiguo agreed in unison. Among these urban youths, Wang Xiaojun and Liu Aiguo were stubborn.

"Liu Feng, you take the remaining people to the back mountain, and clear the way up the mountain."

"Okay, Xiao Bai."

"It's the end of June now, and the yellow peaches have begun to mature. We must hurry up. This winter is to eat meat and drink, or to endure starvation this time."

Jiang Xiaobai looked at everyone and said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Xiaobai, as long as it's your assignment, we will definitely complete it seriously."

"Yes, Brother Xiaobai, don't worry."

"Don't worry, Xiao Bai." When they talked about eating meat and drinking, everyone suddenly became energetic again.

"Okay, drink and eat meat." The white porcelain jars collided with each other, making a crisp sound, and the lights in the yard did not go out until late.
