Crossing 70: Fish in the Pond Have Good News

Chapter 373 Meat Pie

"That's fine. I still have washbasins and thermoses here. You said someone in the brigade is getting married. Do you need these things?" Fu Biao reminded him, "There are also some needles and thread, Secretary Huang. Otherwise, you should let everyone come and take a look."

Secretary Huang heard that they were just some small household items, but someone might really need them. He groaned and slapped his thigh, "Then accountants, you guys follow Brother Fu first. I'll go to the field and shout, let anyone who needs it come and buy it for themselves."

"Okay, go ahead." The accountant nodded. He was a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life, but he had a calm temperament and looked very kind.

When Jiang Yu saw Fu Biao leaving, he followed him out.

But I didn't follow the truck, I just walked around the village.

The village is not big, with only about seventy or eighty households living closely together in the field. The surroundings are empty, except for the cultivated fields and each family’s private plot, which is planted with melons and vegetables.

She thought that if this place was used for grazing, the returns would not be bad.

Or you can reclaim the barren land in distant places. Although it is a big project, it can also generate high profits if agriculture is expanded.

Not long after, someone from the village ran past Jiang Yu holding the things he had exchanged. He must be in a hurry to put the things back home.

Watching them leave happily, Jiang Yu's mood also became cheerful.

No wonder Fu Biao and his team came all the way here with their goods. This village was originally on their way forward, so if they could occasionally help the hospitable villagers, they could earn some money, which was not a loss.

Jiang Yu took another look at the vast and boundless plain, then turned around and walked back.

This place is good and suitable for agricultural development. Once the grain varieties are optimized in the future, there will be great potential for development.

After the villagers exchanged their things, Fu Biao and his companions set off again.

Because the rain was not heavy, Fu Biao and Xiong Lijin decided to rest in the commune.

Jiang Yu and the others had no objection.

The car was shaking, and raindrops fell on the front window, but were quickly wiped away by the wipers, one after another, gradually getting bigger.

Tengzi slowed down, trying to ensure safety.

The two drivers were concentrating on moving forward. Jiang Yu silently took out the dried sweet potatoes given by Xue Li and prepared to eat some to fill his stomach.

Seeing this, Fu Biao said, "We won't get to YJ City until tomorrow. Let's spend the night in a nearby commune. Tomorrow I'll take you to eat kimchi hotpot. The taste is very special."

"Yes, yes, it's sour and spicy, very appetizing." Xiong Lijin heard him talking about kimchi pot and agreed, "The people over there are quite good at pickling kimchi, and the radishes are also delicious. You must try them tomorrow. There are also kimchi pancakes."

Jiang Yu nodded, "Then I'll wait for a good meal tomorrow." Today's meal can be considered as a light porridge and a side dish before the main meal. Eating some coarse grains is also good for health, which is good.

When the car stopped shaking, they had arrived at the commune.

Tengzi drove to the home of his comrade who lived locally with familiarity. Although they all had ID cards and letters of introduction, they were driving to different destinations, so they needed help with accommodation.

Two large trucks were driving on the deserted street. There was no sound outside except the rain.

Soon, Tengzi stepped on the brakes, said something to Fu Biao and jumped out of the car.

He trotted a few steps, went to a house and knocked on the door.

After a while, the people in the room followed Tengzi into the car.

"Brother Fu, I have already arranged the room two days ago. Should we go for dinner first or go to the guesthouse first?" The man who got in the car was short but had a mature face. He spoke to Fu Biao in a familiar manner, so it should not be their first acquaintance.

"Let's go to the room and clean up first, and then we'll have dinner together." This way, they wouldn't have to drive around, which would be too conspicuous. Fu Biao thought they should keep a low profile to avoid being robbed.

"Okay, Tengzi, I'll show you the way." said the man.

The car started again and headed towards the guesthouse.

After arriving at the guesthouse, Jiang Yu took her backpack and went to her private room to tidy up a little.

Although she had only been out for a short time, she already felt how difficult it was.

If people sit in one position for a long time, it is very easy to get joint pain and discomfort.

She felt that she must have a good rest this night, and she would cherish every opportunity to lie in bed and sleep thereafter.

Since they had to go eat, Jiang Yu simply washed up, then took the key, locked the door, and went downstairs to meet up with the others.

Dinner was also arranged by the man. It was a local specialty. Since it was eaten in a state-owned restaurant, there was no need to worry about the taste. I enjoyed the ginger fish very much.

The good thing about going out is that there are different foods to try everywhere, which is great!

The other men ate and chatted. The man who showed the way in the afternoon was the business manager of this commune. Although the business was not big, he already had a job and doing business was a part-time job. He could take care of it anyway.

Fu Biao listened to him talk about recent changes in business, discussed with Xiong Lijin from time to time, and then talked about new policy changes so that the other party could do things more smoothly.

They were talking animatedly while Jiang Yu was eating contentedly.

After dinner, Fu Biao said that we would set off at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning and everyone could move around freely now.

Jiang Yu looked at the sky and saw that it was already dark. After thinking it over, she decided to go back and rest early, so she said goodbye to Fu Biao and went back to the guesthouse first.

As for when the other men returned to their rooms, Jiang Yu didn't care at all.

After a good night's sleep, she packed her things energetically. Because she got up early, she even bought breakfast and leaned against the door of the guesthouse, eating while watching the people coming and going.

People from the nearby factory dormitories would carry enamel pots to get soy milk and tofu pudding. Some would chat and laugh with their neighbors, while others would hurry along in a hurry.

The smell of fireworks, Jiang Yu likes this lively world, which is completely different from the previous life. How wonderful.

She bit into the sizzling meat patty and was scalded by the soup inside. But she was reluctant to spit it out, so she chewed while breathing out.

Not long after, Fu Biao and his companions came down from upstairs. Seeing Jiang Yu eating by the door, they couldn't help but smile knowingly. This girl, maybe she went to bed early just for this breakfast!

Seeing that she was eating with relish, Xiong Lijin quickly went over to ask her where she bought it. Jiang Yu said it was from the state-owned restaurant next door, and he immediately ran out.

"Then let's go buy some food. Please wait for us for a while." Fu Biao said to Jiang Yu.

"Go ahead." Jiang Yu didn't mind. She hadn't finished her breakfast yet, so she wasn't in a hurry.
