Chapter 5 No matter how bad it is, it can go bad

"What can I do?" Li Siyan asked with a confused look on his face.

"Just do whatever you can." Jiang Xiaobai said casually and turned his eyes elsewhere. Wang Xiaojun and Liu Aiguo had already returned with the wine.

"Two and a half pounds of sweet potato wine. Brother Xiaobai, will you taste the authentic taste?" Wang Xiaojun handed a bottle in his hand to Jiang Xiaobai like offering treasures.

"Okay, you have tasted it, I won't try it anymore. Go and help Liu Feng and the others." Jiang Xiaobai knew the smell of wine when he smelled Wang Xiaojun.

Wang Xiaojun smiled and didn't say anything. He turned around and put two bottles of wine on the table, and then went to help Liu Feng and the others.

The sky gradually darkened, and the electric lights in the yard lighted up for the first time when Jiang Xiaobai and the others moved in.

It turns out that kerosene lamps are lighted every day, and I can’t even afford candles in rural areas.

Although some rural areas had powered on electricity at this time, the price of electricity at one kilowatt-hour was kept at 50 cents, and some places even reached 1 yuan or 1 and a half yuan.

That's it, the power supply is often limited, so in rural areas, the lights are basically arranged. It was not until the late 1980s and early 1990s that electricity prices returned to normal, and that rural areas were basically powered on.

Fortunately, the boss gave me some face tonight and did not shut down the power limit. The smell of food came from the yard, which made many people secretly swallow their saliva.

Several female educated youths were busy with their last dish in the kitchen, and the male educated youths had already sat down around the table.

Soon the food was ready, four eight immortal tables were put together, and after a few years, they would be considered antique tables. No one cherished them at this time, and some eight immortal tables even chopped firewood and burned fire.

The big meat slices are constantly floating with pork stewed vermicelli, green cold wild vegetables, golden fried eggs, spicy and sour shredded potatoes, and corn flour pancakes.

This is a sumptuous dinner. Needless to mention that in this place, such food is not something you can often eat before you go to the line.

Of course, Jiang Xiaobai was an exception. Although he was not a rich second generation before his rebirth, he had no worries about food and drink.

Many people were already swallowing their saliva when they looked at the table full of food, staring at the food on the table, waiting for a command to start eating.

Wang Xiaojun quickly poured a glass of wine for everyone. Jiang Xiaobai slowly stood up from the seat with a glass of wine, looked at the 14 educated youth, and said, "Dear comrades, brothers and sisters, we are from all over the world, we are together today. Let's have a drink."

After Jiang Xiaobai said that, he drank it all in a white porcelain jar, and everyone else drank a glass. Put down the wine glass, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes swept across everyone.

"I believe everyone knows what happened today. The Jianhua brigade is very poor. The poor are no longer able to make a living. Have you heard of it? A worker in other wealthy villages can reach 50 cents or even 80 cents."

Jiang Xiaobai paused slowly and continued, "I believe everyone knows the situation we are facing now. There is no food. It's summer. It's okay for everyone. I really wait until next spring when the weather is out of control, and everyone may not be able to survive."

Jiang Xiaobai said, everyone was silent, and even the most lively Liu Feng lowered his head and said nothing. This is a fact that no one can avoid.

Because everyone came here the previous month, I heard from the villagers that March and April were even more terrifying.

"The food on the table is quite delicious, but I think everyone knows how this meal came about today. I will ask you, do you want to endure hunger or drink and eat meat every meal in the future?" Jiang Xiaobai looked at everyone and asked loudly.

"Drink and eat meat." The 14 educated youth roared, and even Li Siyan's face was red.

"Okay, since you want to drink and eat meat, you must take risks. I will tell you about our next plan later. If you don't want to do anything, you can also quit, but if you decide to do it, you can't betray everyone."

Jiang Xiaobai said in a deep voice, there is no way. If you want to do something in this era, you must be careful. The family contracting system in Xiaogang Village is also marked with blood.

"Brother Xiaobai, just say how to do it? How can it be broken even if it is bad? Everyone said, right?" Liu Feng stood up and said excitedly.

"Yes, Brother Bai, do whatever you say, I'll live enough like this." Wang Xiaojun smashed the white porcelain jar in his hand heavily on the table, and several pieces of paint fell off the already worn white porcelain jar.

"Xiaobai, tell me, let's listen to you."

"Comrade Liu Feng is right. This is the case these days. How bad can it be? "

"We want to change, we want to drink and eat meat every meal."

Jiang Xiaobai looked at everyone's reaction and continued, "It's the end of June. The yellow peaches in the back mountain are our precious wealth, so my plan is to make canned yellow peaches."

After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, everyone was in a panic and they all started to talk.

"Making canned yellow peaches is simple, but what about the glass bottles used to store yellow peaches?"

"Yes, if you want glass bottles, you must go to those state-owned factories, but how could those state-owned factories sell glass bottles to us?"

"Yes, this is not something that can be solved with money, and we have no money anymore."

Jiang Xiaobai listened to everyone's discussion and showed a gratified smile on his face. There must be difficulties, but what Jiang Xiaobai feared the most was that he talked about making canned yellow peaches. What everyone was discussing was not the difficulty of making canned yellow peaches, but the fact that he did not dare to make canned yellow peaches.

"Ying Jing, listen to Brother Xiaobai." Wang Xiaojun looked at Jiang Xiaobai's expression and spoke.

After everyone calmed down, Jiang Xiaobai spoke, "I know there are difficulties. What is not difficult is to go to work and earn work points, but can you have enough food?

In this way, everyone will follow my arrangements. Tomorrow, Zhang Yanmei will take people to free up two houses where we live and prepare them as factories for canned yellow peaches."

"Okay," Zhang Yanmei nodded and replied, this is the least difficult one.

"Wang Xiaojun, Liu Aiguo, you two go to the county town with me tomorrow to see if you can buy glass bottles."

"Okay, Brother Xiaobai." Wang Xiaojun and Liu Aiguo agreed in unison, and among these educated youth, Wang Xiaojun and Liu Aiguo were talking about each other.

"Liu Feng, take the rest of the people to the back mountain and clear out a way to the mountain."

"Okay, Xiaobai."

"It's already the end of June, and the yellow peaches have begun to mature. We must hurry up. Whether to eat meat and drink wine this winter or to endure hunger, it's up to this time."

Jiang Xiaobai looked at everyone and said solemnly.

"Don't worry, Xiaobai, as long as the task assigned by you is, we will definitely complete it seriously."

"Yes, Brother Xiaobai, don't worry."

"Don't worry, Xiaobai." As soon as they said eating meat and drinking, everyone was immediately full of energy.
