Chapter 119: Increasing Income and Reducing Expenditure 3

Feng Qingxue counted the materials in the space with her consciousness while making plans for the next twenty years.

She was used to enjoying life, so she certainly didn't like to do farm work, but the era she lived in determined that she had to do it.

It was the beginning of spring. Whether in Caohu Brigade or marrying into Wanglou Brigade in the future, it was necessary to go to work. If she went to work, she would get work points, and if she had work points, she would get food to share, so she could save some food in the space.

Besides, after getting through the three difficult years, she would gradually reduce the food supply to her relatives and friends.

She didn't have the responsibility to support them, but only to help them in emergencies.

Thinking of this, Feng Qingxue continued her sorting work. Food was the most used of the space materials, followed by clothes and cotton, which was also the most important part of life.

When sorting out the armed equipment, Feng Qingxue suddenly found more than twenty high-level bulletproof vests.

In order to get these bulletproof vests, she spent a lot of effort, even using the connections of her grandparents and parents. After all, bulletproof vests are not accessible to ordinary people. However, in order to survive in the end times, she still made sufficient preparations. Unfortunately, she did not get firearms because the country has very strict management in this regard.

Bulletproof vests were the most advanced at the time, and they were soft bulletproof vests, vest-style, and relatively light.

Soldiers who do not see blood are not real soldiers. Lu Jiang should need them, right?

Feng Qingxue disassembled the camouflage jackets on the two bulletproof vests overnight, and used the military green fabric that Lu Jiang bought for her that day to sew a new one in the style of the original jacket, covered it on the bulletproof vest, and sent it to Lu Jiang.

She said in Lu Jiang's letter that it was a foreign product that she asked someone to get, a high-tech product.

After sending the letter and things, she turned around to send New Year's goods to several of Lu Jiang's comrades-in-arms. There were not many, and they were all different.

Chen Ming was not short of food, so she gave him a piece of bacon and a smoked chicken. Xu Aiguo from the coal factory lived a decent life, so she gave him five catties of flour and a dried wild rabbit. If there was a pregnant woman at home, she gave him twenty eggs, two catties of millet and two bags of brown sugar. If there were many people at home and there was an extreme shortage of food, she gave him ten catties of cornmeal and thirty catties of dried sweet potatoes. These were all very valuable gifts in such a world.

When the gifts arrived, the relationship improved and the exchanges increased.

People in this era were very simple and no one accepted gifts for nothing.

Xu Aiguo returned half a bag of charcoal, so Chen Ming gave him nearly twenty catties of corn kernels. Others returned to Feng Qingxue daily necessities such as enamelware pots, soaps, toothbrushes, etc. that were available in the city but not in the countryside.

Although the amount was not much, the intention was real.

The family with the pregnant woman was so grateful that they gave her a bamboo-shell hot water kettle directly.

In the past two years, food was in short supply, and daily necessities were also extremely tight. Kettles were bought with coupons, and department stores might not have them when there were coupons. Feng Qingxue's family was in need of a kettle.

There was one in the space, but could she take it out? No.

So, after this trip, the family had several more things.

Because very few of the families she sent gifts to knew each other, most of them thought she only sent gifts to her family, so she did not arouse suspicion after sending a lot of New Year's goods.

New Year's goods must be sent, not only did it not increase revenue, but it also did not save money.

Fortunately, a day later, through Chen Ming's introduction, Feng Qingxue met the person in charge of the county grain station, named Cheng An. All grain stores bought grain from him. Feng Qingxue exchanged 30 kilograms of white flour for 100 kilograms of black flour.
