A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Chapter 165 Asking the Military Dog What to Eat

Su Hongmei waited for a long time and saw that Shen Jiaren didn't follow her words. She thought she had said something wrong, so she quickly changed the subject and asked, "How is it, Xiao Shen, have you stocked up for the winter?

Cabbage, radish, potato, meat, and other miscellaneous things?"

When Shen Jiaren heard Su Hongmei asking her, she quickly responded and said, "It's okay. This is my first time to spend the winter alone, so I didn't prepare much."

When Shen Jiaren said this, she suddenly realized, oh, coal. She immediately said to Su Hongmei, "Sister Hongmei, when you said this, I remembered something, the coal, the coal I told you I wanted to buy.

Brother Chang Kai, when you have time, please help me deliver it.

This time I may have to trouble Brother Chang Kai to deliver the goods to my door and pile them in the yard for me.

There was no help this time.”

Su Hongmei wanted to ask about the young man who helped last time, but because it was someone else’s privacy, she didn’t ask, but replied, “Sure, it’s a piece of cake for your brother Chang Kai to help with loading and unloading and delivering goods to the door.

It costs money to use this tractor. You have to pay for it.

It’s not that I’m calculating too much for you, it’s mainly because it’s almost winter and everyone has to be careful with their money.”

Shen Jiaren nodded and replied, "Don't worry, sister, I understand this.

When the time comes, you can include the tractor usage fee and the labor loading and unloading fee, and I will agree to use money to settle the bill."

"Okay, I'll tell your brother Chang Kai when I get back, but when do you want it? Give me a time, don't let me go in vain."

Shen Jiaren thought for a while and replied, "It would be best if Brother Chang Kai went after get off work in the evening. This way, although the tractor is noisy, I am far away from the team and will not attract too much attention."

Su Hongmei nodded. She also understood that in this era, meat had to be hidden under rice. As a single woman, she had to be careful.

"When will it be delivered?"

"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is fine. I basically work during the day and stay at home at night. I won't be staying in a guesthouse in town like before."

"Okay, I'll go back and tell you."

"How much should I pay?"

"There's no rush for this. When your brother is gone, he will calculate it for you. I don't know the details, so don't calculate too much for you."

Shen Jiaren nodded and said to Su Hongmei, "Sister Hongmei, I'll leave first. I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Seeing Shen Jiaren was about to leave, Su Hongmei remembered what she had said just now about spending the winter alone and preparing winter necessities casually, so she quickly stopped Shen Jiaren who was turning around and said, "Have you prepared the winter necessities? If not, I'm going to send you some coal. I'll go to my sister's place to buy some for you and ask your brother to bring it to you. When the time comes, you can give the money to your brother."

Shen Jiaren thought about it and thought that if she only relied on the inventory in her own manor, it would be no problem for her to eat it herself, but it would be difficult to explain if others asked her about it. In addition, it would be unreasonable not to prepare some food for the winter, so she replied, "Okay, then bring them all here."

"Okay, then I'll ask your brother to deliver the coal the day after tomorrow. I'll buy you more this afternoon and tomorrow. Is there anything you want or something you avoid eating?"

"I'll eat it all." Shen Jiaren looked at Su Hongmei's attitude towards her and asked embarrassedly, "Sister Hongmei, why are you so nice to me?"

Su Hongmei groaned and said, "This is not about being good to you, it's just about helping each other. I'm also waiting for you to send me pine nuts and chestnuts, as well as fresh vegetables from the village.

It’s true that you can buy vegetables in town, but they are just common cabbage and potatoes, and you have to fight for them. It’s not like in your village, where you can grow everything and eat everything.”

When Su Hongmei said this, Shen Jiaren suddenly thought, yes, vegetables can also be bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, so why did Su Hongmei ask her to ask about the vegetables in the village? She hurriedly asked, "Sister Hongmei, you just asked me to find some fresh vegetables in the village, but you can buy them in town, so what are you asking me to exchange?

Aren't you afraid that the one I exchanged for is the same as the one you bought?"

When Su Hongmei heard Shen Jiaren say this, she remembered that Shen Jiaren was an educated youth who went to the countryside. This was her first time here, so she must not have a good understanding of this winter product. She quickly smiled and explained, "Hey, I forgot that you are an educated youth and are not familiar with this place.

The only vegetables that can be bought in the town are cabbage, radish, and potatoes. These things are still in limited supply and require tickets. If you want to buy them with money, you have to use other means.

I asked you to go to the village to exchange some vegetables other than cabbage, radish and potatoes.

We have many relatives in our family, so every winter we prepare a lot of these things, for fear that there won’t be enough to eat.

So when I tell you to buy it, you can definitely buy it.

But other things like beans, eggplants, cucumbers, tomatoes, and green vegetables were all bought little by little and dried in the past. But at this time, the vegetables were about to be pulled out, and many villagers could not eat them all, or they had already prepared food for the winter, so they would take out the remaining items to exchange.

I just want to take this opportunity to buy some fresh vegetables and store them for winter."

Shen Jiaren nodded, "I see. I was just wondering, you have to change your own dishes, and you are still preparing them for me, so you have even less, right?"

"Silly boy, didn't I tell you that before satisfying other people's requests, you must satisfy yourself first. Have you forgotten again?"

Shen Jiaren lowered her head embarrassedly because she had indeed forgotten.

Su Hongmei saw this and said, "Okay, let's go quickly. You still have things to do, so go quickly. Go back and pick up some mountain products. I'm waiting for you."

Shen Jiaren smiled and nodded, then left the supply and marketing cooperative and walked towards the Public Security Bureau.

When Shen Jiaren entered the Public Security Bureau, she found Xiao Li waiting for her in the guard room of the Public Security Bureau.

Shen Jiaren asked curiously, "Is there something going on? Are you waiting for me here?"

Policeman Xiao Li replied, "No, it just happened. Let's go. We will go outside today. I will lead the way for you."

Although Shen Jiaren was very curious as to why she was not allowed to leave the Public Security Bureau, she did not say anything and just followed Public Security Officer Xiao Li silently.

There was no other sound except the sound of footsteps along the way, which was a little awkward.

Policeman Li walked for a while, and after sensing the atmosphere, he said to Shen Jiaren, "Don't think too much. It's nothing. We just went through the back door before, and this time we'll go through the front door."

Shen Jiaren nodded without saying anything.

But seeing the expression of Public Security Officer Xiao Li who wanted to say something but hesitated, he asked again, "By the way, Public Security Officer Xiao Li, I want to ask, what do these military dogs eat when they go back?

I asked you before what the military dogs eat, and you all said that whatever Duoduo eats is the same thing the military dogs will eat when they return.

But when I went back to feed it yesterday, I found that this simply didn't work.

Duoduo is still young and can be full with just egg soup and milk.

But Black Panther is so big, how can the egg soup and milk be enough? "

When policeman Xiao Li heard Shen Jiaren's question, he laughed out loud, "If this were all eggs and milk, it would probably make you bankrupt.

If you have money, you can feed them some leftover rice and vegetables, together with some bones, heads, etc.

If you have no money, they will eat whatever the pigs eat.

If you don’t know what pigs eat, you can go back and see what the pigs on the brigade mainly eat.”

When Shen Jiaren heard what Xiao Li said, she said to Xiao Li, "After all, I have been a pig farmer.

How can you not know what pigs eat?

But pigs eat cooked bran, pig grass, bean cakes, vegetables, grains and the like.

This dog won’t eat pig grass.”

After hearing Shen Jiaren's answer, Xiao Li stopped walking forward with laughter. After Xiao Li finished laughing and wiped away the tears from his eyes, he said to Shen Jiaren, "Pigs are omnivorous animals, so they eat everything and are not picky. The only difference may be whether they grow tigers or not.

Therefore, in order to make the pigs fatter, some teams would mix various grains into their feed.

But dogs are not omnivores and do not eat as much as pigs.

What it eats is very similar to that of humans, and of course also similar to that of wolves.

Either eat the meat cooked or completely raw.

When the time comes, you will see that it will eat whatever you want.

If this doesn't work, you can also cook your food with wheat bran and feed it to the baby after it's cooked.

In fact, the food standards for military dogs are higher than this.

But since it’s already this time, just eat until you’re full and don’t be picky.”
