Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

"Sure, I couldn't bear to spend it all, so you see I just bought these."

Mayila also opened her cloth bag openly to show what she bought.

Her reddish cloth bag can not only be used as a shopping bag, but also made into a scarf. It is also Mayira's favorite and most frequently used bag.

Compared to Chengcheng's, hers is closer to life. She bought various noodles, brown rice and sweet potatoes.

Chengcheng was jealous when she saw this, because Mayila was much more attentive than her.

"Mayila, you bought everything. Can I trade you some rice and oil?"

"Okay, I didn't buy any oil."

Cheng Cheng asked curiously, "Why didn't you buy oil? Then how do you cook?"

"I've replaced some salt and put it in the cooking to give it some flavor. We still have meat, right?! We can refine some later."

Yes, the ten pounds of meat can be used to produce a lot of lard, enough to eat for a while.

But you can eat the oil she has occasionally. This soybean oil doesn’t have a strong smell like lard and tastes good.

"You also bought salt. You are such a virtuous woman. Mayila, you are so virtuous."

Ma Yila felt a little embarrassed when she was praised. She leaned against her and said, "I can give you some if you need it."

"How can I take advantage of you?" Cheng Cheng wanted it in her heart but still refused.

It was already a great bargain to exchange refined rice with Mayira for other staple foods. The prices of several categories of things were different. Mayira only asked for half a finger-sized amount of rice but got her a lot of things.

It's too much to ask for more from others, you're grabbing a little girl.

"It's okay, I still have some."

Seeing that her hand seemed to be about to take it out, Cheng Cheng immediately refused: "No, no, Mayila, is it okay for me to borrow it from you when I need it?"

"Okay, then tell me when you need it."

"Ah."

The male educated youth heard the female educated youth's noise and started asking each other what they had bought, and there was another display on the cart.

Those who saw others buying something they didn't buy also made exchanges with others at this time.

No one bought Orange's oil, mainly because they didn't have the oil coupons on hand and also because the price of oil was expensive.

You also need to prepare your own oil barrel which is very troublesome. When I saw her buying one, I asked her whether she prepared the oil barrel herself or exchanged it with people in the city.

Cheng Cheng said truthfully: "I met a sister and she gave it to me. I also exchanged some tickets with her."

Hearing this, people all asked about the sister she was talking about.

Chengcheng didn't say anything because he was afraid of bringing a bad influence to the salesperson. If someone reported him, he would be in trouble.

She was thinking that if she could attract other educated youth to exchange bills or something, she could act as a middleman and not only bring some business to the salesman, but also make some profits for herself.

Many relationships are created out of nothing.

People in this era were relatively simple and unpretentious. There weren't as many double-dealing people as in later generations. What everyone wanted in life were just a few things.

And she can be the ladder that meets people's needs, and it is also beneficial for her to achieve mutual benefit on both sides.

The educated youth were curious about the sister she was talking about, and thought she must be a very powerful person to have such things.

In fact, he was just a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative. Most people had a natural respect for people working in supply and marketing cooperatives, especially since such jobs were stable jobs in that era.

I don't dare to contact this kind of people. Even when buying things, I don't dare to say too much or ask too many questions, for fear that they will laugh at me for having never been here.

People like Chengcheng are rare, and it is precisely because there are so few of them that she got lucky.

On the way back, people were full of satisfaction, having bought all the necessities of life and knowing they could survive on this grassland.

Just use the things everyone buys and the ten pounds of meat given by the patriarch to make something good.

Hope ignited in my heart, and even looking at the prairie seemed clear blue and vast.

Breathing the air here makes people feel relaxed and comfortable.

"Uncle Da, the air here is really nice."

"That's because the air in our grassland is the purest. That's why we have lived here for so many years without moving away."

The educated youth took another breath and saw that the male educated youth were trying their best to breathe.

Uncle Da was amused and said, "Don't breathe so hard. If you breathe too much cold air, you will have a stomachache when you go back home, and it will be easy to go to the toilet."

Hearing what he said, the male educated youth covered his stomach as if he felt something, which made Chengcheng and Mayila laugh as well.

Sure enough, as soon as Uncle Da's cart arrived at the destination, some of the male educated youth rushed out of the car and went to the toilet.

The toilets here are also very simple, but they are divided into men's and women's toilets. Sometimes there are special people to clean them. Every once in a while, the clan leader will ask the commune whether it is time to send someone to clean the toilets here.

Not cleaning will pollute the grassland environment.

Of course, the commune will not let go of this beautiful grassland, and it is always the first to pay attention to such things. The environment of the grassland is related to the lives of herders and livestock.

If no one takes care of the environment, the meat will not be collected. Even the toilets here are cleaned more frequently than in the city.

Seeing that what Uncle Da said was right, the educated youth who had not yet gotten off the bus all laughed.

"Uncle Da, you really have a golden tongue, so smart."

"I told you that you'd go to the toilet if you breathe too much air, but some people actually went there. It's amazing."

"Uncle Da, you are really a prophet."

"Hahahaha... Stop teasing me. I'm in a hurry. If I were so smart, I wouldn't say any curse words to you."

Everyone got out of the car with a smile on their face, and thanked Uncle Da with the things they had bought.

Then he said, "Uncle Da, we have learned our lesson this time. Next time, we must not open our mouths to breathe in air."

"Remember this, don't come looking for me next time you go to the toilet."

"Hahaha Uncle Da, that's not okay. I have a stomachache and I still have to ask you how it happened."

Uncle Da chased after him and shouted, "You brat!"

The other educated youth watched the noisy scene and laughed along.

It is rare to come here and see such a scene.

It was the first time for the educated youth to laugh heartily here, and the only reason for the laughter was Uncle Da's words and the male educated youth who went to the toilet.

……

Before leaving, Chengcheng took out the plastic fruit candy he had bought and distributed two pieces to everyone, even to the one who was going to the toilet, who was given one by another educated youth.

Uncle Da just ate a piece of candy and helped them put the doors and windows in the half-finished felt tent.

Chengcheng and Mayila both thanked Uncle Da.

After parting, the educated youth returned to the yurt and happily discussed what to eat in the evening.

This time when they went to the city, they really let loose. After seeing the slightly serious look of the city, they felt that this place was freer compared to the vast prairie.

The educated youth who were good at asking questions distributed some melon seeds to everyone and shared what they had heard with everyone for free.
