The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 90 Linshan Commune
Back at Nanluoyuan, Jiang Cheng still didn't ask Zhou Lingying to help him take a bath or scrub his back. The main reason was that there were neighbors with lights on in the yard at this time, and he was a grown man, and he was not used to taking a bath in a big wooden tub unless he had no choice.

But Jiang Cheng still helped Zhou Lingying take a bath tonight, because they would drive to Shanghai tomorrow and would be gone for more than ten days. Tonight was not as simple as delivering food, it had to be described as "squeezing".

After Jiang Cheng finished his shower and entered the room, Zhou Lingying was sitting on the bed waiting for him. When she saw him come back, she shouted, "Come here quickly."

The next morning, when Jiang Cheng woke up, Zhou Lingying was getting dressed.

Looking at Zhou Lingying's radiant appearance last night, Jiang Cheng finally understood how she managed to be both pure and sexy.

Because Zhou Lingying had a very simple mindset, she felt that this was how a couple should be, otherwise how would they have children in the future.

Jiang Cheng also understood the words of some women in the future. Some women in the future might really be forced by life to take a shortcut. Their bodies might be dirty, but their hearts might still be pure.

There are many reports about bad women being cheated by men. Jiang Cheng laughed at them and said they deserved it. Now I think I was wrong, because in the future, it may be these women you look down on, they are the last group of people who believe in love. Otherwise, how could they be cheated? They are just too naive.

Jiang Cheng lay down for a while and then got up. It was cool in the morning and comfortable to drive. If the temperature was too high at noon, it would be unbearable to drive, so he couldn't waste time.

After all, he has to go to Nanjing at that time, so he has to squeeze out the time.

After Jiang Cheng got up, Zhou Lingying also packed his things. She had written a letter to her family, and a bottle of wine that Jiang Cheng had left at home that he hadn't opened.

He simply had two bowls of porridge with pickles in the morning, and then Zhou Lingying helped Jiang Cheng carry his things to the car.

After Jiang Cheng set off, he drove along the county road according to the map. From Wannian County, he went to Dexing City first. If he went in this direction, he would inevitably pass by Yaoxi Lake, which was another large lake.

This time Jiang Cheng still couldn't help but stop the car, but he continued on his way after not stopping for long. Because he had fished many times but didn't release the lake water that he had fished into the space, he planned to find a place to clean it up when he wanted to take a rest.

In order to avoid being questioned all the time, Jiang Cheng put half of the goods in the car. It may be difficult to meet other drivers on the rural roads, but on the county roads, you will often meet cars on the intersection.

If you see an empty truck running, especially one from a transport station, people will always ask out of curiosity.

When passing through county towns or urban areas, you still have to go to restaurants and sell fish wherever there is a need. However, Jiang Cheng is no longer satisfied with just making money, or in other words, having money alone is useless in this era.

According to Jiang Cheng's current rate of making money from selling fish, he could easily earn a few hundred yuan a month. This was even though he didn't deliberately make money, because when passing through a big city, it was impossible for it to have only one restaurant. Jiang Cheng would drive directly to the avenue after entering the city.

If he visits all the restaurants, big and small, in every city he enters, he can make thousands of dollars a day.

It’s just that these days, people have too much money to spend, and once they have enough money to spend, even if they have a lot of fish in the space, there’s no need to rush to cash them out.

Because in this era, many things that money can't buy are different if you exchange them with materials. Just like what happened at the coal factory last time, you spent money to buy coal, but the factory staff couldn't sell it to individuals, and the money was hard to put in your pocket.

But if you exchange fish for coal, the logistics department will be interested because they can use fish as welfare, but they cannot give money as welfare to employees.

So this time when Jiang Cheng drove all the way here and sold fish to restaurants, he always asked for changes in some condiments and seasonings.

When ordinary urban residents buy condiments, they are considered to be buying side dishes, and the quantity is limited. However, it is different for restaurants. As long as the condiments are used up, they can be bought without limit. The premise is that there is a corresponding proportion of the restaurant's income.

Salt, soy sauce, vinegar, onion, ginger, garlic, chili powder, sugar, etc. Jiang Cheng doesn't ask for much from each restaurant, so it's not difficult to get a pack of salt and a pound of sugar.

If Jiang Cheng didn't change this, some seasonings wouldn't matter. But salt is rationed, half a pound of salt per person per month. As a driver, Jiang Cheng has a subsidy in this regard, just like many heavy laborers, they will have some extra subsidies.

Because salt helps the human body lock in water and reduces excessive water loss. Working in this hot weather, Jiang Cheng sweats a lot just driving a car, not to mention some porters and loaders.

So Jiang Cheng had to change some salt and other seasonings, so that if the car didn't drive to the city to rest, he could cook some vegetables in the wild. Even if he always ate grilled food, it would be more delicious with seasoning. Maybe the route Jiang Cheng chose this time was more mountainous, and Jiangxi Province originally had many mountains and forests. Even if he drove on a county road, the road surface was at most wider than a rural road, but it was still uneven, and the car couldn't drive too fast.

It was not until about 5:30 that afternoon that Jiang Chengcai passed by a place called Linshan Commune. There was no navigation, and the maps of that era were only a rough reference for routes, not very comprehensive, and you had to mark them yourself.

The most you can find on the map is a rough route and the names of some cities, but it is impossible to be so accurate as to mark out every town and commune.

Not long after passing Linshan Commune, Jiang Cheng found a remote place to park the car.

Jiang Cheng brought a pot with him on this long trip, which he asked Zhou Lingying to buy when she bought a flashlight. He planned to roast a bird and stew some fish soup.

There were woods on both sides of the road. Jiang Cheng found an open space and dug a small stove pit. Then he picked up some firewood from the surrounding area and started to make a fire.

After more than half an hour of hard work, the bird was not roasted properly, probably due to technical problems. The bird did not have much fat, and it was roasted black and dry. It was not like roasted fish, which is easy to cook, and even if the surface is burnt, it is still tender inside after peeling it.

The bird was placed too close to the fire. If there had been some oil, I could have brushed a layer of oil on the bird's surface with a brush from time to time, and this might not have happened.

It was a waste of a bird, as Jiang Cheng threw it aside. However, the fish was well stewed, seasoning was added to remove the fishy smell, and some river shrimps were added later.

There is rice in the space, and rice is also exchanged in restaurants. As long as you don't exchange too many things in a restaurant, you can actually exchange a lot of things.

After eating, Jiang Cheng took a shower. Anyway, as long as he didn't stay in the city, he could expose himself wherever he rested at night.

After taking a shower, Jiang Cheng put all the goods in the car into the space and lay down in the back compartment with the mosquito net.

Sleeping by the woods is different from sleeping by the river. From time to time, some strange bird calls can be heard from the woods on both sides.

Jiang Cheng is a brave man and as a driver he is not afraid of a few strange noises.

Oh, don’t be afraid, just treat it as an accompaniment before going to bed~~~.

As the night deepened, Jiang Cheng, who had eaten and drunk his fill, fell asleep.

Late at night, Jiang Cheng was at the place where he had been eating and drinking not far away.

The unroasted birds, fish bones and the like were not processed, so naturally someone would help Jiang Cheng deal with them.

The forest was immersed in silence. At this time, several large and slightly clumsy figures appeared beside the fish bones. The black figures appeared and disappeared in the dim moonlight, and the rough fur seemed to be given a mysterious luster by the night.

The fish bones and unroasted birds were cleaned up in a short while.

Not long after, the black shadow smelled the scent and discovered a car not far away, and slowly and cautiously approached it.

Dong~~.

Jiang Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and he heard something hit the car. After waking up, he didn't dare to move much because he could hear something moving next to the car, and making some low noises from time to time.

Jiang Cheng tiptoed out of the mosquito net and crawled to the guardrail of the car as quietly as possible.
