"Okay, Brother Wu, I won't stop any longer. We still have dozens of miles to go."

"Hey! By the way, I live on the street behind the county government now. Uncle Wu and Brother Ma, if you have anything to do in the future or come to the city to play, you can come to me." Li Wen collected the ticket money and greeted the two of them.

"Okay, I was just about to ask where you live. I'd like to stop by your place when I have time." Old Wu said and smiled.

"Stop talking and let's go!"

After walking out of the state-owned hotel, Li Wen tied the box to his bicycle and climbed onto the bicycle as a runner.

Li Wen has undergone a complete transformation in the past six months, and his height has increased by ten centimeters. Now he is close to 1.6 meters. He no longer has to pedal halfway when riding a bicycle. He is much more stable and faster.

It was almost lunch time, and Li Wen returned to the county town. Instead of hanging around, Li Wen went home and washed up first.

The spring winds and sand in the northwest are relatively strong, and the more than 30 miles of road are all dirt roads. When we returned to the county seat, there was a layer of loess on the ground.

Li Wen returned to the space and took a shower and changed his clothes. Then he flushed the water pipes in the bicycle space.

There was a washing machine in the space, and Li Wen washed all the dirty clothes he took off.

Recently, Li Wen came to the county town and went to a state-owned tailor shop in the county town to have some clothes made. The clothes were all gray and black, and they did look rather old-fashioned.

Although there were clothes in the lounge of the space, they were a little too big at most, but Li Wen didn't dare to change them. Moreover, the clothes in the lounge were brightly colored, which was obviously not in line with this era, and he didn't dare to wear them out.

The colors of this era were mainly green, gray and black, with military green at most added. Everyone wore similar clothes. Li Wen didn't pay much attention to clothing, so he didn't care about it.

After washing the clothes and drying the bicycle, Li Wen checked the time and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

After working for a long time, Li Wen was also a little hungry. He was alone at noon and didn't want to cook for himself. Finally, he thought about going out to eat.

Li Wen stuffed the wooden box with pork, locked the door, and rode his bicycle toward the county's state-owned hotel.

Arriving at the door of the county state-owned hotel, Li Wen propped up the car, walked in and ordered a bowl of fried noodles.

Li Wen took out three taels of food stamps, one tael of meat stamps and 20 cents from his pocket and handed them to the state-owned hotel employee at the counter. Then he asked the chef to make noodles first and he would eat them soon.

Li Wen pushed his bicycle to the purchasing office at the back door of the state-owned hotel.

"Aunt Zhang, good afternoon, Brother Wang!" Li Wen stopped the car and saw the two of them purchasing vegetables from a farmer.

"Xiao Wen is here! Come in and sit down first. Let's talk after Auntie is done with this." Zhang Xia was keeping accounts. She glanced at Li Wen and said with a smile.

"It's okay, Auntie, please do your work first while I'm free to wander around!" Li Wen smiled and waved his hand.

"Director Wang, count your ticket money." Zhang Xia smiled and handed Xiaodie's ticket money to the middle-aged man dressed as a farmer.

"Thank you so much, Director Zhang!" The middle-aged man shook hands with Zhang Xia and Wang Desheng with a happy face. He also gave Li Wen a cigarette and drove the ox cart away.

"This uncle is still a director!" Li Wen looked at the middle-aged man walking away and asked with a smile.

"Director, that is, the director of the rural brigade." Wang Desheng lit the production cigarette handed to him by the middle-aged man and said with a smile.

"That one is also a director. He manages a lot of people in the village. He is a capable person at first glance." Li Wen chuckled. He admired the middle-aged man more.

Being able to take the lead in selling vegetables from his own village to the city in this era shows that he is quite courageous.

"Brother Wang, help me carry this wooden box in." Li Wen finished speaking and patted the wooden box on the back seat of the bicycle.

"What is it? This box is not big. It weighs only fifty or sixty pounds at most. Let me carry it!" Wang Desheng came over and took the box directly to the purchasing office.

Wang Desheng's initiative was exactly what Li Wen wanted. He didn't want to carry something weighing fifty or sixty pounds.

"It's not light! The box weighs sixty or seventy kilograms. What's in it?" Wang Defa, who put down the box at the acquisition office, said, lifting the wooden box.

"nice one!"

Li Wen smiled and opened the lock on the box, then pulled out the cover, and a packed box of pork suddenly came into view.

"Hiss!" Wang Defa couldn't help but take a breath.

Wang Defa hasn't had much dealings with Li Wen, and at most he only got the eggs from you last time. But eggs are easy to buy, but this meat is not so easy.

"Xiao Wen has a lot of meat! The fat is four fingers wide. It looks like it was killed no more than a day ago." Zhang Xia has been working in the canteen for more than ten years, and she can tell the quality of the meat just by looking at it.

"Aunt Zhang, you are the one!" Li Wen said and gave Zhang Xia a thumbs up.

"Auntie, can you exchange these pork for tickets for me? Any tickets will be accepted." Li Wen said as he watched the two people take out the pork.

"Okay! Pork is hard currency. It's no problem to exchange it for you. I'll settle the account at some point. Leader, I'm happy to see so much pork." Zhang Xia patted the pork and said happily.

"It's fifty-eight pounds and nine taels in total, let's count it as sixty pounds for you." Wang Desheng fiddled with the scale and said.

Five minutes later, Zhang Xia calculated the exchange ratio and handed a stack of tickets to Li Wen.

"Here, Xiaowen! Just a few days ago, the hotel hosted units from other provinces and collected a lot of national food stamps. Auntie will give you some." Zhang Xia said with a smile.

"Well, thank you, auntie. These national food stamps are a good thing!" Li Wen said with a smile on his face when he heard this.

Li Wen smiled and took the ticket and looked at it. The tickets in the county were better than those in the town. The gas stamps were two kilograms, and there were more than ten kilograms of national food stamps.

It seems that Zhang Xia has not treated herself badly. Many of these tickets are priced but not marketable, such as these gas stamps and national food stamps.

"Oh! I forgot, I left some meat for Auntie and Brother Wang." Li Wen ran and took out two packages of meat wrapped in paper from the bag on the beam of the car.

"Auntie, give it to Brother Wang!" Li Wen smiled and handed the two packages to the two of them.

The two of them weighed the portions in their hands and put them away with a smile.

At this time, someone else walked into the purchasing office carrying a rooster. Seeing that the two of them were busy, Li Wen said hello, got up and left.

When we came to the front hall, the noodles hadn't been made yet, so Li Wen waited for another five or six minutes.

Although the restaurant's attitude is average, the taste is really good. I didn't ask for three taels of food stamps and one tael of meat stamps in vain, and the portions are quite large.

Li Wen asked for another bowl of noodle soup, which was free. Then he ate it with the garlic he brought, a mouthful of noodles and a mouthful of garlic.

"Beautiful, beautiful, this meal is really comfortable!" After finishing the meal, Li Wen rinsed the noodle bowl with noodle soup, drank it, and burped in admiration.

Of course, after eating, he felt sleepy and needed to rest. Li Wen pushed his bicycle and left the state-owned hotel.

After returning home, Li Wen took out three more old hens from the space and put them into the cage. At the same time, he collected the eggs laid by the remaining old hen, and then cleaned them again.

After cleaning up, it was already past four o'clock, so Li Wen simply took a nap.

In the evening, Li Wen was sleeping soundly when he was woken up by the sound of pushing the door open. Li Wen sat up and saw that it was already dark.

"Brother, you are back! Have you eaten?" Li Wen walked out of the room and asked with a smile.

"Eat, we don't know how to cook! You were not here, so we ate at my aunt's house." Li Wu said with a smile.

"You guys are really lazy. There are pancakes I made in the kitchen. You can make some porridge." Li Wen rolled his eyes at Li Wu and said.

"We finished all the pancakes yesterday and this morning. As for cooking, that's impossible." Li Wu's smile really deserves a beating.

"Hey, I came to live with you in the county town to be a nanny for you two!" Li Wen said with a dark look on his face.

"Awen, you got three more old hens!" At this time, Li Quan in the yard said in surprise when he saw the old hens in the cage.

"Well, when I returned to the county today, I asked someone to collect it in the countryside." Li Wen said lightly.

"Well, we can eat scrambled eggs again tomorrow night." Li Wu was very happy and took a bite of his saliva.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. You have been tired for the whole day. Go wash up and rest. I boiled hot water in the afternoon." Li Wen waved his hand and turned around and went back to the room.

Back in the room, Li Wen set the alarm clock in his room. He read for a while and turned off the light.
