Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Chapter 74: Can I sacrifice my own family for the sake of everyone?

This morning.

Fang Wei, Zheng Hu, Deng Yuanen and others carried their loads and went to the market.

With nothing to do lately, Fang Wei would go to the big and small markets. Every time he went, he would bring some extra sweet potatoes and occasionally a duck.

This year, our family had a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes. Even after brewing two jars of wine, there was still quite a bit left.

Part of it was made into dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato vermicelli, and the rest was planned to be sold.

After the severe drought, the county recovered a little, but the food supply was still in a tight situation.

In particular, there were always people from other places coming to get food, and the underground trade suddenly became very prosperous.

The price of sweet potatoes has not fallen, while the prices of rice, live pigs, and especially chickens and ducks are still soaring.

For example, chicken that cost a few cents per pound in the first two years is now sold for 1 yuan per pound.

"Third brother, you are busy here, let's go look somewhere else."

Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. After arriving at the field, Zheng Hu pulled Deng Yuanen and ran away.

They came here just to play and help Fang Wei.

There are a total of 3 loads of sweet potatoes, which is almost 400 kilograms, a considerable quantity.

As soon as Fang Wei opened the lid of the basket, someone came over to ask the price, and soon a crowd gathered around him.

"Young man, we meet again. I want 100 jin, the price is still 2 yuan, how about it?"

One of the men greeted Fang Wei enthusiastically. Fang Wei thought for a long time before he remembered that he had met this man at the market once. He seemed to be a professional in the underground trading market.

He doesn't know his last name or his first name, nor does he want to know.

"Okay, give me the money first."

Fang Wei remembered the other person's identity and was unwilling to argue any longer, so he directly took the 20 yuan and gave the man 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes.

The other party packed the sweet potatoes in a bag, put them on his cart, and pushed it away immediately.

Then more and more people paid to buy sweet potatoes, and all 400 kilograms of sweet potatoes were sold out in less than an hour.

He stuffed 80 yuan into his clothes, then stacked the baskets together and squatted in the corner to rest.

After waiting for a long time, Zheng Hu and Deng Yuanen came back. Both of them were carrying things in their hands, all of which were bought at the market.

"Third brother, are you done now?"

Zheng Hu and Deng Yuanen were a little dumbfounded. They had only turned around once, and the other person's baskets were empty.

Afterwards, Fang Wei also went to buy some things, and the three of them returned to Murakami.

The market is lively, but it costs too much.

After a while, Fang Wei and his elder brother and sister-in-law went to the market again, and this time they met the guy who bought 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes last time.

"Young man, I'm glad to meet you. How many sweet potatoes did you bring today? I want them all."

"I don't have much here, but my two companions have about 200 pounds."

Fang Wei winked at his elder brother and sister-in-law, and the three of them sold their sweet potatoes to this guy.

It was still 400 kilograms. The three of them collected the money and left together.

He made up his mind that next time he would not come to the market himself, but would let his elder brother and sister-in-law come so that he would not be targeted.

However, he was obviously overthinking it. He sold a total of 2500 kilograms of sweet potatoes and nothing happened.

Having 500 yuan in your pocket makes you feel more secure than anything else.

"Brother, sister-in-law, you keep these 200 yuan. I'll keep 200 yuan for myself, and give sister-in-law another 100 yuan and these cloth coupons. Everyone in our family can make a new set of clothes."

Fang Wei did not keep the money from selling sweet potatoes to himself. He not only gave 200 yuan to his brother and sister-in-law, but also gave another 100 yuan to Tian Guihua.

The clothes of the people in the family are all patched up, and the key is to make a new cotton jacket for Taotao.

Taotao walks a long way to school every day, leaving early and returning late, and he won’t be able to withstand the cold wave.

"Little brother, you really saved up so many cloth coupons."

Tian Guihua knew how difficult it was to get cloth coupons, but she didn't expect that her younger brother had actually gathered them all.

These cloth coupons were just enough for everyone in the family to make a set of clothes, and they could also make two new cotton-padded jackets for the two children.

At this moment, she was indeed a little moved. Fang Wei couldn't stand this and turned around and went outside.

When he passed by the cowshed, he saw a lot of people gathered together and thought something had happened.

When I got closer, I saw that Guan Chongyang was playing chess with someone.

The man was a resettlement worker. He loved playing chess. Even when he was assigned to the second team this time, he did not forget to bring his chessboard and chess pieces.

Among the onlookers were members of the second team and resettlement personnel, who were watching very attentively.

"That's good. Play chess when you have nothing to do, and stop giving advice."

Fang Wei didn't join in the fun and just walked around the cowshed.

After the renovation, the cowshed was expanded a lot, so Zheng Xianfa selected a few people from the resettled staff to come over and feed the buffaloes.

Of course, the team also sent a veteran to keep an eye on things and guide the newcomers.

"Hello, Xiao Fang."

"Engineer Wen, Engineer Luo, hello."

There were two people working in the cowshed, a man and a woman. They were also resettlement workers and a couple.

The man's surname was Wen, and the woman's surname was Luo. Before they were separated, they were engineers at a tractor factory. They looked gentle and refined, but their ideas were somewhat radical, otherwise they would not have been separated.

But after arriving, the couple quickly adapted to their current life and saw huge changes in all aspects.

However, Fang Wei was not familiar with them. After greeting each other, he went to the newly built [poultry house].

The poultry house was built to house 1000 chickens and ducks. It occupies a large area and was built to a high standard.

Suddenly, some information floated past his eyes, and he glanced at it and smiled.

A generally qualified poultry facility with a good rating.

【Have you designated this area as a temporary poultry house? 】

Sure enough, with the title of "Duck Commander", he could make temporary designations for the newly built poultry houses.

Is there anything else to say? Just specify it.

[Temporary facilities] → [Production facilities] → [Poultry house No. 2]

【Facility Level: (Level 1, 0\10)】

[Facility attributes: disease prevention, strengthening, accelerated growth, increased egg production, nesting]

[Raising chickens in this building will increase all attributes by an additional 5%]

Fang Wei suddenly had an urge to laugh out loud.

After such a long period of exploration, he also figured out some of the system's routines.

For example, the experimental fields and the newly built poultry houses are nominally under his management, and he can do whatever he wants with them. It is almost equivalent to his "private territory".

"It seems that only areas like deep mountains and old forests or remote wastelands, or areas that are nominally under my management, can be temporarily designated."

Fang Wei nodded, confirming some of his thoughts.

The deep mountains and old forests, including the valley areas, are nominally owned by the state, but there is currently no specific person responsible for their management, so he can make a temporary designation.

For example, areas like the [hunting area], [picking area], and the acre of land in the valley all fall into this category.

He had nominal management authority over the experimental fields and the newly built poultry houses, and could basically act according to his own will.

"So if I become the team leader in the future, can I designate any farmland or building within the team?"

He thought about it and felt that this judgment might not be correct.

Of course, even if it was right, he wouldn't want to be the captain.

If you want to sit in that position, you really can’t do it without some dedication!
He felt that he might not be able to sacrifice his own family for the sake of everyone and worry about everything all year round.

Fortunately, Fang Wei is not the type of person who gets entangled. He just thought about it and let it go soon.
