Reborn in the 60s, starting with going to the mountains and countryside

This road was basically desert, and there was no green at all. This was Ye Hao's first time to go to the Fire Island Basin. He could feel the high temperature here even before he arrived at the Fire Island Basin on the train.

Fortunately, it was already late at night when we arrived at the Fire Island Basin, so we didn't feel the intense heat of the sun during the day.

It was so late, so Ye Hao found a deserted corner and slipped into the space. He wanted to rest first and wait until daybreak to talk about anything.

When the sky was slightly bright, Ye Hao came out of the space. While it was still early, Ye Hao came to a breakfast shop in the city. After searching for several times, Ye Hao found a breakfast shop. At this time, the shops were either state-owned or like this breakfast shop. The shop is also a public-private partnership.

Looking at the naan pancakes, baked buns and other breakfast items on the shop floor, Ye Hao said casually, "Hello, comrade, one naan pancake and a bowl of porridge."

There are many steamed buns and pancakes in Ye Hao's space, but Ye Hao really likes the chewy texture of this naan pancake.

"Comrade, do you want something sweet, salty or stuffed?"

"Ah? I want naan, not steamed buns." When Ye Hao heard that it was stuffed, he thought it was steamed buns.

"Comrade, you have just come to our place. There are naan pancakes with fillings." When the aunt who sells breakfast inside heard Ye Hao's words, she knew that Ye Hao must be from outside. She didn't even know the type of naan pancakes.

"I'm sorry, it's my first time to come to Xinjiang Province. I always thought there was only one kind of naan pancake, but I didn't expect it to have stuffed ones. What does this stuffed pancake look like and what's the stuffing inside?"

Ye Hao was curious when he heard that there were also stuffed naan pancakes. In his impression, there was only one kind of naan pancake, which was the kind that was as big as a plate and was eaten in later generations. It was thin in the middle, thick around the edges, and stuffed on top. There are sesame seeds, the naan bread Ayima gave me on the train was like that.

"This one is filled with mutton and onions..."

After hearing this introduction, Ye Hao decided to eat this stuffed naan today. It sounded delicious.

Although Ye Hao didn't have any meat coupons here, he still bought naan with meat fillings because he had the money.

Sure enough, the ones with meat fillings are delicious...

After finishing breakfast, Ye Hao asked the aunt at the breakfast shop about the local situation. Fortunately, the breakfast shop was not very busy at the moment, otherwise she would not have the time to talk to him.

As Ye Hao walked along the streets of the city, he could see many people driving donkeys, carts, and mule carts, which were all filled with melons and fruits, mostly cantaloupes, and some were grapes.

After some chatting, Ye Hao learned that the surrounding melons and fruits were ripe and had just been picked in the morning. The cantaloupes were to be shipped out of Xinjiang Province, and the grapes were made into raisins.

Ye Hao ignored the people transporting melons and fruits and walked out of the city on his own.

When you leave the city, you can see melon fields and grape vines, which are lush and green. In fact, this place is different from Ye Hao's impression. Although it is hot here, there are also large deserts around it, but this place is in the south of Tianshan Mountain. The melted snow is enough to form an oasis here.

Moistened by the melting snow of the Tianshan Mountains, this basin came to life and became a famous hometown of fruits and melons.

Ye Hao didn't see a single car along the way, not to mention cars, not even a bicycle. He could only see the most primitive means of transportation, vehicles pulled by various livestock.

Ye Hao did not go to these places where grapes and fruits were grown, but went farther away. These fruits and melons were all available in Ye Hao's space. Even those that were not available before, he also got them at Captain Maidaniyat's house.

The climate of the two places is similar, and the crops grown are also very similar. It's just that there are more grapes here. When you look over, you can see that a large area is planted with grapes.

I kept walking towards a remote place and after walking for a long time I saw that the surrounding fields were full of cotton and there were many people picking cotton.

In this era, there was no mechanization of later generations. Cotton picking relied entirely on manpower. You can see men, women, old and young working together in the cotton fields. They wore straw hats on their heads. Some did not even wear straw hats. They had a cloth bag tied around their waists. He bent down to pick cotton one by one, and put the picked cotton in the cloth pocket on his waist.

When the pockets were almost full, I went to the field and poured the cotton in the pockets into the big bag here.

……

Ye Hao came here to communicate with the captain here. As Ye Hao expected, there was no excess. Even the cotton in the field might not be enough for them to hand over.

Seeing that the captain was so talkative, Ye Hao asked him where he could purchase unplanned cotton.

This sentence was really not in vain, Ye Hao got the best news these days.

The captain said that it is impossible to purchase unplanned cotton around the city. All production here is rationed, and you can only go to very remote places where you can sometimes encounter a lot of people. Most of the cotton that comes out, the cotton on the black market here, comes from those places.

In places close to the city, their annual output is fixed, and no amount should be paid less...

Ye Hao asked again how to get to those places.

But the response he received left him speechless.

For locals who are far away, they have livestock pulling carts into the city, or they ride camels or horses. People like him from outside can only walk.

……

A lot of the surrounding land has not been hardened, so you can't ride a bicycle, so just walk honestly and treat it as exercise.

Ye Hao was walking on this sandy ground. Everything else was okay, but the weather was really too hot. Walking on this soft ground, if Ye Hao hadn't had space and water in it, he wouldn't have been able to hold on.

Ye Hao, who has such a good physique, feels like he is being roasted on an iron plate. It is really hard to imagine how the locals can persist.

It was not until almost dusk that Ye Hao came to a village that the team leader had mentioned in the morning. It was not like the village that had just left the city. Fruits and melons were grown everywhere. Basically, it was all cotton. Only some could be seen around the yard of each house. Green fruits.

Since it's not dark yet, you can see many people picking cotton in the cotton fields. They should pick more while the weather is not as hot as in the afternoon.

Ye Hao did not step forward to disturb them, and stood watching from a distance. However, just because Ye Hao did not disturb them did not mean that these people did not see Ye Hao.

The clothes on Ye Hao are very different from the clothes with ethnic characteristics here. It can be seen at a glance that Ye Hao is not from here, because there are no Han people in this village.

Soon a tough-looking uncle came over, holding a knife in his hand.

When Ye Hao saw this tough uncle coming over, he hurriedly expressed that he meant no harm.

"Hello, comrade, I don't mean any harm. I came from the capital. The main reason I came here this time is to purchase an unplanned batch of cotton. This is my ID..."
