Chapter 492 Cargo
Some people have built small cages on their balconies to raise chickens. This is also allowed. Many people sell chickens in the market. The government sells livestock and poultry meat in big markets, but they do not have a monopoly and say that everyone cannot do it themselves. Breeding.
As long as everyone can live a good life and do not violate legal provisions, all policies will be people-oriented.
Vegetables sold in the city are not expensive. As a major agricultural country in the world, growing vegetables is already very familiar. The mountain people bring vegetables to the market to sell them. In fact, it is not for how much money they sell, but just for some exchange. Daily necessities go back.
For example, the first person today to say that he exchanged five toothbrushes for wool with Mu Xi works in a daily chemical products factory. Sometimes the factory's perks include giving out toothbrushes and towels.
Nowadays, resources are tight in all aspects, and the number distributed is actually not that much. It’s just that everyone has worked hard over the years and is used to it. I don’t need this toothbrush until half of the hair has fallen out and I don’t want to replace it. I would rather save it and buy something else. Things go back.
The person who took away Mu Xi's wool was planning to give the old man a woolen kneepad, so that the old man could feel better in wet and cold weather.
Medicines are the most rare thing, and Mu Xi happened to bump into someone who was willing to exchange medicines for wool. The man said that this was originally prepared for the old man, but the weather has been warm in the past two years, and the old man had suffered greatly in the past few years. I got through it, and I haven't had a cold in the past two years.
It's just that my legs and feet tend to feel uncomfortable. This medicine has a shelf life of four years, so I might as well take it out and replace it with wool that I haven't seen in many years.
Not to mention wool, even cotton is rarely seen in this city. There is not much land, and it is all used to grow food. The cotton clothes everyone wears for the winter are either old clothes from the past, or fake cotton clothes filled with chemical fiber. It would be nice to have them. No one is in a position to be picky.
After all, the most important thing is to be fed, not to die from the cold.
"So the focus is still on eating? Is it possible that we still sell the grain?"
According to Mu Xi, food is scarce in this city and it is not as easy to grow as vegetables, but if the two of them bring rice and wheat to sell, it would be too eye-catching.
If someone can bring grain to the city to sell, Mu Xi thinks that the government won't mind. It can also alleviate the food shortage. He is afraid that he will be targeted by the officials and become a designated grain grower. , there must be benefits, just like the mountain people nearby who help grow vegetables and food.
There are advantages and disadvantages. If that happens, they will be more or less controlled. What's more, if their location is exposed and it is known that they have semi-automated agricultural equipment in such an open place, don't send people to station next door. , turning meadows into large food fields...
I can't even think about it. Then the two of them will have to go to work as before...
Zhao Yeqing also thought about this. It wasn't that she was unwilling to contribute to the city, but it couldn't be that simple. According to what Mu Xi found out in the city, in the past two years, the city had planned grain planting areas outside of They were blown up by those reactionaries. If they drove to the meadow, the two of them would also be blown up in an unknown way someday.
She is not that noble, but she is not completely egoistic. Unless the official can guarantee their safety, they will be willing to share the results of so many years.
But what is something that can be exchanged and rare without attracting attention?
cotton?
As Mu Xi mentioned before, the winter clothes worn by most people in the city are either old clothes or filled with chemical fiber.
Cotton should also be popular, but it will take several months before the cotton can be harvested. Zhao Yeqing can't wait to go to the city.
But it can’t be too frequent. After all, Mu Xi said he came from a relatively far away place, and his identity and address are still in Meishan. When chatting with his aunt, he said that before the earthquake, he opened a farmhouse and B&B in the county outside Meishan. , was trapped on the mountain when the accident happened, so he stayed up there.
The location he mentioned is neither too far nor too close to here, more than a hundred kilometers away by mountain road.
The half-truths and half-false words should not be revealed.
If the two plan to come next time, they will have to wait for more than half a month, which is more reasonable in terms of distance.
When it got dark, Mu Xi started the helicopter and returned home in more than an hour.
As soon as we walked into the wooden fence, the dogs rushed to greet us.
The moment she returned home and sat down, Zhao Yeqing relaxed all over. The weather was cool during this period, and she didn't move much to keep her body from getting sticky. She only urged Mu Xi to take a shower.
When he finished washing and came out, the noodles were already cooked in the kitchen.
Zhao Yeqing was squatting next to the cupboard. The cupboard door opened. When she heard Mu Xi come in, she turned around excitedly and said, "Come here quickly. Can you see if these can be sold?"
There are two jars of lotus root starch on the cooking table.
This was made by the two of them last year after they dug out the lotus roots. They gained about ten kilograms in total. They ate less and have only consumed more than one kilogram so far.
After opening, the lotus root starch is often scooped out with a spoon. Since the humidity in the meadow is relatively high, Zhao Yeqing divides the original two large cans into small cans, each weighing two kilograms.
"I dare say there is absolutely no such thing in the market. Lotus root starch is not something that can fill the stomach. Even if they think we have a big lotus pond, they will not covet it. But this thing is rare in the market. I want to take it. Come back and change some daily necessities."
Zhao Yeqing's idea was very correct. Mu Xi took out a few more small jars from the cabinet, "Two kilograms per serving is too much, about one kilogram is more appropriate."
There was no hurry about the packing matter. The two finished eating the noodles, filled some feed for the livestock, and then went back to the room to sleep.
She thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night. All night long in Zhao Yeqing's sleep, she saw the bustling market, and the faces of relatives and friends she hadn't seen for many years and whom she thought she had forgotten, quickly flashed through her dreams.
This dream was neither wonderful nor bizarre. It just made her want to go to the city more urgent.
Zhao Yeqing also wanted to bring something else besides lotus root powder, because after this trip, he probably didn’t know when he would go next time. Otherwise, people who make a living in the mountains would not spend their time taking care of an acre of land, but instead waste their time. It’s too unreasonable to spend it all on the way into the city.
Besides lotus root starch, are there other rare but inconspicuous ones?
Go hunt two rabbits and sell them in the city? I don’t know if this thing can be sold without inspection and quarantine.
Beans are quite suitable, but they were just planted this spring, and so far they are only small seedlings of about ten centimeters.
Zhao Yeqing was planting garlic in the cotton field, squatting on the ground and thinking while working.
This cotton is the most likely to attract bugs. She has seen it before, so she is not afraid when it is planted. It has already tillered during this period, and the leaves will attract bugs, especially aphids that love the young leaves most.
Zhao Yeqing really hates aphids. They will take a bite of everything. Taking advantage of the fact that the seedlings have not grown up yet, he quickly planted the sprouted garlic heads densely among the cotton.
I can't eat all of this stuff even if I grow it in large quantities. It's mainly used as a pesticide.
How about selling this garlic when the time comes?
