198 Going to the City 1
This is the expectation of the whole production village, and it must not be sloppy.
Regarding the fact that the production team was about to rush to harvest the lack of farm tools, Liu Gensheng also told the members of the production team about the situation.
This matter is related to the entire production team, so it is necessary to let the people in the production team know.
The team members became anxious when they heard that the situation was so serious.
After all, this is not just a matter of the production team, it is closely related to every household.
If they can't complete the work of rushing to harvest, and if they can't distribute much food, their days will be very difficult.
Last winter, their production team was better. I heard that some production teams nearby starved to death.
The production team needs farm tools. Fortunately, Jiangcheng has the money and industrial coupons, and the production team still has a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, they really don’t know what to do.
Regarding Jiang Cheng and Zhao Xiulan going to the city together to buy farm tools, the production team also hoped that they would be able to buy them.
The next morning, Zhao Xiulan and Jiang Cheng got up early, the sky was bright, and they rode their bicycles to the county seat.
The morning bus to the city was at 7 o'clock, and the two caught up. It was about 8:30 in the city, more than an hour's drive, and it was still early in the city.
It was the first time for Zhao Xiulan to come to the city. Even the original owner had been to the county town at most. Few of the production team had been to the city.
Traveling is still inconvenient these days.
To get to the city, you have to take a car, and you have to pay for it.
If it is not necessary, generally few people from the countryside will come here.
Zhao Xiulan took a look at the city. Compared with the county seat, the city is much better, with a little more tall buildings and better roads and urban construction.
In addition, there are many stores, state-run restaurants, department stores, post offices and the like are also larger than those in the county seat.
Of course, the good in the city is only relative to the county seat of this era, and it is still much worse than in the 21st century.
The construction in the city in this era is not as good as the county seat in the 21st century.
Even so, Zhao Xiulan was still a little curious about the city she had never been to.
The city is bigger and better than the county seat, and there are definitely more rich people than the county seat.
If you come to the black market in the city to do business, you may be able to find more and better old objects.
But the purpose of coming to the market today is not to do business in the black market, but to buy farm implements first.
Besides, Jiangcheng is also here with Zhao Xiulan today. She just wants to go to the black market. She can find a chance to come to the city by herself next time, not with Jiangcheng.
The two of them didn't have any extra time to wander around the city, so they headed straight for the department store.
Fortunately, there are indeed a little more resources in the city than in the county seat. When I asked in the past, I quickly bought it.
The two bought eighty sickles, ten hoes, and ten shovels.
What the production team lacks mainly are these iron farm tools, and don't buy the other ones that you can make yourself.
The most important farm tool for harvesting is the sickle. It is fast to cut rice with a sickle, otherwise it is too slow to rely on only one hand.
Eighty sickles, almost enough, can greatly improve the harvesting efficiency of the production team.
These farm tools are not cheap. A sickle is two yuan, plus two yuan for industrial coupons. A hoe and a shovel are both three yuan a handle, so eighty sickles are one hundred and sixty yuan, plus one hundred and sixty yuan. Industrial coupons for dollars. The ten hoes and shovels are sixty yuan plus sixty yuan industrial coupons.
