"What can I do?" Li Siyan asked confused.

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

"Two and a half kilograms of sweet potato soju. Brother Xiaobai, do you think it tastes authentic?" Wang Xiaojun handed a bottle to Jiang Xiaobai as if he was offering a treasure.

"Okay, you have tasted it, but I won't. Go and help Liu Feng and the others." Jiang Xiaobai knew the smell of alcohol on Wang Xiaojun.

Wang Xiaojun chuckled, said nothing, turned around, put two bottles of wine on the table, and then went to help Liu Feng and the others.

It was getting dark, and the lights in the yard turned on for the first time since Jiang Xiaobai and the others moved in.

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

Although some rural areas had already received electricity at this time, the price of electricity remained at 5 cents per kilowatt hour, and even reached 1 yuan or 1.5 yuan in some places.

Even so, there were frequent power cuts, so electric lights were basically just decorations in rural areas at this time. It was not until the late 1980s and early 1990s when electricity prices returned to normal that rural areas basically had electricity.

Fortunately, the electricity boss showed some respect tonight and did not turn off the power supply. The smell of food came from the yard, making many people secretly take a sip of saliva.

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

Soon the dishes were all ready, and the four Eight Immortals tables were put together. In a few years, the tables would be considered antiques. No one cherished them at this time, and some of the Eight Immortals tables were even chopped up to make fires.

The large meat slices are constantly floating with pork stewed vermicelli, green cold wild vegetables, golden scrambled eggs, spicy and sour potato shreds, and cornmeal pancakes.

This is a sumptuous dinner. Needless to say, in this place, even before jumping in line, such food is not always available.

Of course, Jiang Xiaobai is an exception. Although he was not a rich second generation before his rebirth, he still had enough to eat and drink.

Many people were already swallowing saliva as they looked at the table full of food, staring directly at the food on the table, waiting for the order to start eating.

Wang Xiaojun quickly poured a glass of wine for everyone. Jiang Xiaobai slowly stood up from his seat with the wine glass in hand, looked at the 14 educated youths, and said: "Comrades, brothers and sisters, we come from all over the world to gather together today.

It’s fate, let’s have a drink.”

After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, he drank from the white porcelain jar in one gulp, and everyone else also drank. Putting down the wine glass, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes swept over everyone.

"I believe everyone knows what happened today. This Jianhua brigade is very poor. It's so poor that it can't be blamed. A worker is paid 10 cents. Have you ever heard of it? In other wealthy villages, a worker can earn 50 cents, or even 50 cents.

8 cents.”

Jiang Xiaobai paused slowly and continued: "I believe everyone is aware of the situation we are facing now. We are running out of food. It is summer and everyone is okay. But when the shortage of crops comes next spring, we may not be able to survive."

As Jiang Xiaobai spoke, everyone fell silent. Even the most lively Liu Feng lowered his head and remained silent. This was a fact that no one could avoid.

Because everyone came here like this in the previous month, and I heard from people in the village that March and April were even more terrifying.

"The food on the table is very delicious, but I think everyone knows where today's meal came from. Let me ask you, do you want to starve in the future or drink and eat meat every meal?" Jiang Xiaobai looked at it.

Everyone asked loudly.

"Drink, eat meat." 14 educated youths roared, and even Li Siyan's face turned red.

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

."

Jiang Xiaobai said in a deep voice, "There is no way. You must be careful what you want to do in this era. The household contract system in Xiaogang Village also has bloody fingerprints."

"Brother Xiaobai, just tell me what to do. How bad can it be? Do you think so?" Liu Feng stood up and said excitedly.

"Yes, Brother Xiaobai, I can do whatever you say. I've had enough of this kind of life." Wang Xiaojun slammed the white porcelain vat in his hand onto the table, and the old white porcelain vat fell again.

Several patches of paint.

"Xiao Bai, just say it, we will listen to you."

"Comrade Liu Feng is right. Things are already like this. No matter how bad it is, how bad can it get?"

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

Jiang Xiaobai looked at everyone's reaction and continued: "It's the end of June now, and the yellow peaches all over the mountains and fields are our precious wealth, so my plan is to make canned yellow peaches."

After Jiang Xiaobai finished speaking, everyone exploded and started talking one after another.

"It's easy to make canned yellow peaches, but what about the glass bottles used to put the yellow peaches?"

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

"Yes, this is simply not something that can be solved with money, and we don't have any money anymore."

Jiang Xiaobai listened to everyone's discussion with a happy smile on his face. There must be difficulties, but what Jiang Xiaobai is most afraid of is when it comes to making canned yellow peaches. What everyone is discussing is not the difficulty of making canned yellow peaches, but the fear of making canned yellow peaches.

Make canned yellow peaches.

"Quiet, everyone, listen to Brother Xiaobai." Wang Xiaojun looked at Jiang Xiaobai's expression and said.

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

In this way, everyone listens to my arrangement. Tomorrow Zhang Yanmei will lead people to vacate two rooms of the house where we live, and prepare to use it as a factory for making canned yellow peaches."

"Okay," Zhang Yanmei nodded and responded. This is the least difficult thing.

"Wang Xiaojun, Liu Aiguo, you two and I will go to the county town tomorrow to see if we can buy glass bottles."

"Okay, Brother Xiaobai." Wang Xiaojun and Liu Aiguo agreed in unison. Among these educated youths, Wang Xiaojun and Liu Aiguo were the most talkative.

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

"Okay, Xiaobai."

"It's already the end of June, and the yellow peaches have begun to ripen. We must seize the time. It depends on whether we eat meat and drink wine this winter, or whether we go hungry."

Jiang Xiaobai looked at everyone and said solemnly.

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

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

"Don't worry, Xiaobai." As soon as he mentioned eating meat and drinking wine, everyone suddenly became more energetic.
Chapter completed!
