Ye Lin came back a little late today. When he came to the door of the yard where the rags were kept, the place was already crowded with people. Seeing so many people, Ye Lin was stunned because there was no such thing in the large courtyard where their family lived.

So many children.

After taking a closer look, it turned out to be children from several nearby yards. It was probably because Liu Wei and the others were too showy, and then the kids from other yards found out about it and joined in.

This doesn't matter to Ye Lin. The more people join, the happier he will be, because these guys help him make money. The more people join, the more he will make.

"Let's go in, there are a lot of people today, let's come one by one." After opening the door, Ye Lin said to everyone.

"Um."

After entering, Ye Lin asked a guy to pour the contents out of the woven bag, then pulled it a few times and said: "Zhang Qi, thirty-five cents."

Zhang Qi and Ye Lin live in the same courtyard. Yesterday, this guy made 23 cents. Unexpectedly, he made more today, more than 30 cents. Yes, scavenging is also a technical job. The more skilled you are, the more you can pick up.

It is estimated that after a while, these guys will pick up more.

Ye Lin handed the money to Zhang Qi and said, "Put these rags of yours over."

"Okay." Zhang Qi was very excited when he heard that he was thirty-five cents.

Three times five times two divided the pile of things he picked up. In Ye Lin's place, you have to sort the things you picked up by yourself. Ye Lin can't do the work. This doesn't mean that he can't do it, but that he can't do it.

Don't want to do it.

After Zhang Qi picked up the things, he ran out. Needless to say, he probably went shopping. These guys are all the guys who can't keep the leftovers in the doghouse. They can't have a little money in their hands.

Just spent.

At this point, they are really far behind Ye Lin. Although Ye Lin spends money much better than them, when he spends money, he will calculate what should be spent and what should not be spent. Who is better than Ye Lin?

All clear.

Also, Ye Lin can spend and earn money, but these guys spend less.

"Come, come one by one, I won't call you by name."

"Twenty-seven cents."

"Three cents a dollar."

"Three cents three."

"..."

"..."

It took about twenty minutes for Ye Lin to collect the rags from these guys and pay the money. More people make it easier to work, while fewer people make it easier to eat buns. Ye Lin finished collecting the last guy's rags.

, everyone else also divided their own rags.

After the last person sorted the rags, Ye Lin said to Liu Wei: "Let's go back."

"Um."

"You are doing well today, much better than yesterday." Ye Lin said while locking the door.

Liu Wei sold junk yesterday for 27 cents, and today he sold it for 43 cents, which is 16 cents more than yesterday. For these children in the courtyard, 16 cents is definitely a lot of money.

"It's not bad. I ran quite far today."

"Did you inform those guys in the other courtyard?" Ye Lin asked.

"No, those guys saw us scavenging and asked us what we were doing. We accidentally let it slip." After Liu Wei finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Lin and thought Ye Lin was angry.

"Look at you, I'm just asking, would it be better if there were more people?"

"Ah! Er Sha, you mean you can let others know?"

"Okay, but you tell them and you can't let the adults know."

"I understand, I will tell them."

"Well, let's go back."

When the two people came to the gate of the compound, they saw a group of children gathered there, and these children were the same children who had just been selling rags in his place. Ye Lin went over and took a look. It turned out that it was Ye Qi who was renting comic books. Now it seemed that

Why did you come out before it's time to eat?

"Sister, why are you so early today?"

Yesterday, when Ye Lin asked Ye Qi to come out to rent comic books, he told her to come out after dinner. Not to mention that it was not time to have dinner yet.

"I came back early today. I didn't have anything to do, so I came out. By the way, brother, I will help my sister deliver some food later."

"No." Ye Lin rolled his eyes.

"Brother, be good, sister will buy you some candies later."

Buy candy! Ye Lin rolled his eyes again. He still didn’t know who was buying candy for whom. Ye Qi really didn’t like the little money Ye Qi earned from renting comic books. He probably made less money in a month than he did.

That’s a lot of money in one afternoon.

"I won't eat." After saying that, Ye Lin went in.

When he returned to the backyard, he saw his mother cooking. Ye Lin ran over and hugged his mother and said, "Mom, what are you cooking?"

Li Ran knocked Ye Lin on the head and said, "You brat, let me ask you, where did you go today?"

"Uh! Mom, I'm sorry, I forgot the time while playing. When I saw that the time was wrong, it would be too late even if I came back, so I just ate a little outside."

No wonder my mother came back early today. It turned out to be because she didn't come back at noon. My mother was probably worried, so she came back early in the afternoon to see if she had gone home.

"You brat, even if you can't come back, you should call the supply and marketing cooperative and ask them to tell me."

"I know, Mom, be careful next time. If you can't come back, call the supply and marketing cooperative."

"You stinky boy, do you really want a next time?" Ye Lin was hit on the head again by Li Ran.

Ye Lin rubbed his head and said, "Didn't you say that?"

"What did I say?"

"No, no, you didn't say anything. Oh, by the way, Mom, I brought you some good things."

After Ye Lin finished speaking, he opened the bag on his body, took out two paper bags from it, handed it to Li Ran and said: "Mom, I bought you two kilograms of brown sugar. You can soak it in water later. I heard from others that this is fine."

Replenish the body.”

Hearing Ye Lin's words and seeing the paper bag in Ye Lin's hand, Li Ran's eyes were a little moist. Ye Lin's actions made her feel that she had not loved her son in vain for so many years, but he still thought of her.

"Son, thank you, don't worry, mom will drink a little."

"Well, tell me after you drink it and I'll buy it for you."

This time Li Ran didn't ask Ye Lin where the money for buying brown sugar came from, let alone where the sugar coupons came from. Her heart was full of happiness now, and her son knew that she felt sorry for her. This was better than anything else.

are all important.

"Yeah." Li Ran nodded.

"By the way, Mom, there is another piece of meat here. Let's see what we can cook. We can eat it tonight."

Ye Lin bought three kilograms of meat from the uncle. Before he came back, Ye Lin gave half to the uncle's son. Now he still has half here. Although it is only half, it is still more than a kilogram. There are only three people in Ye Lin's family.

Enough to eat.

"Why did you buy meat again?"

"Mom, this is not ordinary pork, this is wild boar."

"What! Wild... wild boar?"

"Um."

"Okay, let's make braised pork tonight. Isn't it your favorite?"

"Thank you, Mom."

"Okay, let's go play and don't delay my cooking."

"oh."

Ye Lin returned to the room, closed the door, and then entered the space. Three small wild boars had been put into the pigsty. The number was also displayed on the pigsty, which was 3/20. In other words, the pigsty could

Raise twenty pigs.

This is definitely a good thing for Ye Lin. Twenty pigs are not comparable to sixty chickens and forty ducks. No matter how many times more, there is no way to compare. Let's put it this way, sixty chickens

, priced at 1.50 yuan each, it only costs 90 yuan.

Forty ducks cost two yuan each, which is only eighty yuan. But how much does a pig cost? If it’s too much, let’s calculate it as two hundred kilograms. Excluding the pigs’ guts and bones, at least

There must be a hundred pounds of meat.

Not to mention one dollar per pound, but one dollar per pound, that's one hundred dollars. This is just one pig, twenty of them, that's two thousand dollars. How can these chickens and ducks be comparable?

This does not include those pigs in the water, pig heads and pig trotters, etc. If they were all included, it would probably be more, so how could Ye Lin not be excited, but he was excited, and Ye Lin was also a little worried.

How much grain do twenty pigs need to eat? I guess even feeding them the wheat I grew is not enough.

"Wait, sweet potato."

At noon, Ye Lin took two sweet potatoes from the old party secretary's house. He originally wanted to plant some sweet potatoes, because the yield of sweet potatoes is relatively high. It is already the second half of 1959, and the three-year difficult period will affect the city.

That's why Ye Lin wanted to plant some sweet potatoes. At that time, he never thought of planting all sweet potatoes. But now, Ye Lin has changed his mind and plans to plant all sweet potatoes. Not to mention using sweet potatoes to raise pigs, sweet potato seedlings can also be eaten by pigs.

Just do it as soon as you think of it. Ye Lin made a small piece of land on the vegetable field to cultivate sweet potato seedlings. After harvesting the wheat in the evening, you can directly plant sweet potatoes. It is now twelve o'clock, and there are still six

Hours.

In reality, six hours is six days in space. Sweet potato seedlings can definitely be cultivated. Plant a small area first, and when there are more sweet potato seedlings, plant seven-quarters of the entire wheat field with sweet potatoes.

After cultivating the sweet potatoes, Ye Lin came out of the space. His mother hadn't finished cooking yet, so Ye Lin could only eat melon seeds and wait. To be honest, Ye Lin didn't eat enough at the old party secretary's house at noon.

It's not that Ye Lin doesn't eat, it's that he can't eat. There are about ten people, including him, there are eleven people. There are only three dishes in total, one egg, one stir-fried green vegetables, and one stir-fried meat with fungus.

, I guess it’s the meat that was portioned yesterday.

However, there was very little meat and not many eggs. How could Ye Lin eat it? Especially when he saw that the grandchildren of the old party secretary were so poor, Ye Lin was even more embarrassed to eat, so he just took a few bites.

During this afternoon, Ye Lin was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. Of course, he could also buy something to eat outside, but he didn't have time. He was so busy all day now.
