The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 73 People who eat melons
Jiang Cheng carried the fried dough sticks and walked towards the warehouse, and put them into the space in a corner where no one was.

After arriving at the warehouse, some of the porters and unloaders came to work. The goods in Jiang Cheng's car had not been unloaded yet, so he had to wait for the people in charge of the warehouse to make arrangements.

I stayed in the warehouse until nine o'clock, and the goods at Yu Xin's place were unloaded.

Driving out of the warehouse, Jiang Cheng decided to take as few orders as possible from the transfer station in the future. Not to mention mixed cigarettes and other things, if you don't give one or two cigarettes to the warehouse manager here, they may not arrange to unload your goods first.

After coming out of the warehouse of the transport station, Jiang Cheng did not delay any longer and went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a mosquito net. Then he found a restaurant and did not ask any questions. He just brought a sack of fish into the restaurant and asked if they would accept fish.

I've seen arrogant people, but I've never seen anyone as arrogant as this.

The people in the restaurant looked at the fish in the sacks, and then at the Yellow River heavy truck parked outside the door.

There are many employees in a restaurant. Even if the fish is not eaten in the restaurant, each person can buy a few kilograms to take home. This can improve the food for the whole family and make them happy.

What's wrong with being arrogant? He is just a truck driver.

Jiang Cheng left the restaurant with more than 30 yuan in his space and a pot of boiled water in his kettle.

Yuxin is 130 kilometers away from Xiangping, and Jiang Cheng plans to get there by noon. But after leaving Yuxin, the road is actually better, no longer a rural road, but can be driven along the county road.

In this case, Jiang Cheng had to stop when passing through some county towns. There were restaurants in county towns, and Jiang Cheng wanted to sell fish in places with restaurants.

Therefore, the plan was to arrive at Yuxin at twelve o'clock in about three hours, but it was delayed for another hour and arrived at about one o'clock. However, there was more than one hundred yuan more in the space.

On the way to Xiangping, Jiang Cheng encountered several trucks carrying coal. Trucks carrying coal usually do not travel long distances, at most they go to nearby cities.

If a slightly farther city does not have its own coal mine, it basically relies on trains and ships for transportation. If you can see coal trucks, it means there are coal mines nearby.

Jiang Chengzhen didn't know much about the urban industries of that era. Only when he arrived here did he realize that a county town under Xiangping was a large coal production base, and was also known as the No. 1 coal mine in Jiangnan.

There is also a steel plant with tens of thousands of employees, a No. 1 coal mine and a steel plant with 10,000 employees, which consume a lot of materials every day. Therefore, many out-of-town vehicles unload goods in the warehouse of the station.

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng is not without advantages in the warehouse. The vehicles from the transport station here will be given priority for unloading. The vehicles from other factories and units have to queue up for unloading.

Jiang Cheng had a meal in a restaurant while unloading the goods. As it was still early, he did not pick up the order to return to Changcheng at the transportation station here, but drove directly to Fengcheng.

Jiang Cheng was planning to seek a benefit for his unit. The coal plant in Fengcheng supplied coal to Changcheng. He went there to pull a truck back. Not to mention anthracite, even ordinary coal lumps were good.

But when the car arrived in Zhangcheng, it was already dark. Even if we drove to Fengcheng, the coal plant would have been closed.

So Jiang Cheng was resting by the Gan River in Zhangcheng. He had no plan to come back here to fish or anything like that. But it just happened that sleeping in the city would be hot even if there was a guesthouse. The riverside was cool and windy at night, and he had a mosquito net, so he didn't go into the city for a comfortable sleep.

But God let Jiang Cheng rest by the river, and it would be unfair to God if he didn't catch some fish before it got completely dark.

It was very easy to catch fish and shrimp. If you walk on the road at night too much, you will always see ghosts. We caught a lot of fish in the river, and even caught Yangtze River porpoises and Chinese sturgeons.

There are also some other fish that became precious in later generations. Anyway, there are many species.

When it was getting dark, Jiang Cheng looked at some of the fish he had caught, their mouths opening and closing, and had a bold idea. At night by the river, Jiang Cheng started grilling the fish and found some branches to pass directly through the fish's mouths.

In addition to the fish from the river, we also got a sea fish. Sea fish is tasty even without salt. We also grilled a large lobster and paired it with a raw tomato and cucumber. If only we had a radio at this time, and played a piece of opera, it would be perfect.

After a hearty meal, he took a shower and cooled down in the old way. Then Jiang Cheng lay in the back of the car with a mosquito net, smoked a cigarette, and looked up at the starry sky.

The breeze by the river is very comfortable, and people tend to feel sleepy when they are comfortable.

Changcheng, Nanluoyuan.

Today Zhou Lingying had another wonderful day. Master Li came to work early in the morning with his apprentice. He cooked some porridge with pickles, but nothing was left.

At noon, I cooked all the remaining tofu. It was hot that day, so I put the tofu that I didn't use up yesterday into a small enamel basin. Then I filled a wooden barrel with half a bucket of water and put the basin with tofu on top of the water. In this way, as long as the water is cold, it can keep the tofu fresh.

The same is true when storing overnight vegetables in rural areas when it is hot. Put them in a basin and place them directly in the water tank.

Today, a set of very nice tables and stools has been made. Master Li has superb craftsmanship. After the tables and stools are made, you can't tell that they are made of old materials.

Now that there is a table and stools in the room, it suddenly feels like a home.

Zhou Lingying has taken a shower today. Her face turned red while showering, mainly because she remembered the last time her shameless man gave her a bath.

At this time, Zhou Lingying was sitting at the table with her arms on the table and looking up at the roof. At first, there was only a gecko on the roof, catching mosquitoes near the light bulb. As she watched, another one came and joined the mosquito feast.

It was interesting to watch the gecko eating insects, but Zhou Lingying was also a little puzzled. She had cleaned the place very well. How did this gecko appear? It was really strange.

"Lingying, sister Lingying."

"Hey, Sister Wang, what's wrong?"

Just as Zhou Lingying was watching the gecko eating insects enthusiastically, her next-door neighbor Wang Yuzhen came to see her.

"Liu Cui'e and her husband are fighting in the backyard. Do you want to go and see?" Wang Yuzhen replied immediately.

"Well, I'll go with you to take a look." Zhou Lingying didn't know who Liu Cui'e was, but how could she not go to see such a lively event?

When Wang Yuzhen heard that Zhou Lingying was going to see it with her, she immediately went to the backyard. Zhou Lingying closed the door slightly and followed her.

As soon as she entered the backyard from the front yard, Zhou Lingying heard "This life is unbearable." Then she saw Wang Yuzhen quickening her pace and walking towards the right side of the backyard, and Zhou Lingying also quickened her pace.

I felt a little anxious. How could I not live like this? Zhou Lingying wanted to know the reason. Eating melons must be done from beginning to end to make it more interesting.

When Zhou Lingying arrived at Liu Cui'e's home in the backyard, she saw Liu Cui'e crying and wailing in the backyard. Her hair was messy and her clothes seemed to be torn in some places because of the fight.
