I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 177 Labor Day Supply

The work efficiency of the grain store was very high, and it didn't take long for Mrs. Liu to enter the store.

Li Xingxing followed her into the door.

If you don't understand, read more and learn again, so as not to make people laugh.

The bicycle was parked in front of the grain store, and someone said to her, "We will watch for you!"

Thank you Li Xingxing.

Actually, she wasn't worried at all.

The old man in Huaihua Town once told her about the 70s and [-]s. He said that the life atmosphere at that time was very good, not to mention the hardship and simplicity. Lose the bicycle, because no matter where it is parked, no one will steal it, even if it is ten days and a half months.

There are those who are hungry enough to steal food, but almost none who steal bicycles, because bicycles are large items, and the report will be strictly investigated to the end.

Of course, it also had something to do with the atmosphere at the time.

Li Xingxing didn't know if it was true or not. She saw that there was only one counter in the grain store, and there were several staff working behind the counter. They were of different ages and genders. They seemed to have different divisions of labor, but they actually supervised each other.

Mrs. Liu stepped forward to hand over various supply notebooks, and a middle-aged man in his fifties was flipping through the notebooks while picking up his abacus and typing, "One person, 25 catties of grain, today is Labor Day, There are plenty of fine grains, you can get three catties of cornmeal, two catties of standard flour and two and a half catties of rice for ninety-eight cents, and seventeen and a half catties of coarse grains are all dried sweet potato noodles for one yuan and twenty-five cents."

Li Xingxing calculated in his heart, the total was two yuan and twenty-five cents!
A person's ration only costs two yuan.

Although he already knew that prices in the 60s were extremely low, Li Xingxing was still surprised.

If she didn't buy luxury goods, the money she earned would be enough for her mother and daughter to live for decades, until the reform and opening up, prices soared.

The middle-aged man reported the total amount, and Mrs. Liu handed over the money. The middle-aged man handed her several different bamboo sticks, and the person next to him sealed a bunch of colorful tickets in an envelope, and handed them back to Mrs. Liu together. , "There is a special supply for Labor Day. Each person has a pair of labor protection gloves, which can be purchased at department stores with the daily necessities purchase certificate."

"Nothing else?" Mrs. Liu asked, "I had two taels of sesame oil on Labor Day last year!"

"Last year was not as short of food as this year! If Wutong City hadn't been lucky enough to get tens of millions of catties of food, you would have to receive half of the food stamps now. Sesame oil will be available at the end of the year, maybe there will be two taels of supply. This year's flour and rice The supply is sufficient, so you can be content." The middle-aged man knocked on the counter, "Next one, hurry up!"

When it was Li Xingxing's turn, he imitated Mrs. Liu and handed over the supply certificate, "I don't get food stamps, I get rations."

The middle-aged man let out an oh, and flipped through the brand-new grain and oil supply certificate, "Are you new here? Let me tell you again, two people, 58 catties of grain, seven and three, seventeen catties and four taels of fine grain, you can get four Standard flour for a catty, rice for five catties, and cornmeal for [-] catties and [-] liang, cornmeal for [-] cents, standard flour for [-] cents, and rice for [-] cents, for a total of two yuan and [-] cents. Seven cents per catty, in total, two yuan, eighty-four cents and two cents. Adding the two together, five yuan and one cent and eight cents."

Li Xingxing quickly handed over a five-yuan and a dime note.

The middle-aged man found the money, wrote a few words in the notebook, stamped it, gave her a large handful of bamboo sticks, and pointed to the side, "Put grain at the window of the grain depot. The window is marked with the type of grain. Give them the lottery and pick up the food directly. If you don’t know how to distinguish the type of lottery, just ask the staff behind the window.”

Li Xingxing discovered that there were four kinds of sticks, with five taels, two catties, five catties and twenty catties marked on them, and the smallest one was one tael.

The person next to her also put colorful tickets into an envelope for her, and at the same time stamped and wrote on the non-staple food supply certificate, daily necessities purchase certificate, and coal purchase certificate, "There are labor protection gloves available, don't forget to buy them. Except coal balls, they come on a seasonal basis. Tickets are collected, and the rest are paid on a monthly basis. Each household has [-] catties of briquettes per season. The briquettes ticket was issued on April [-]st, and you just moved here. Now I put it in for you. Some daily necessities have tickets, some don’t, vegetables There is no ticket for seasoning and condiments, you can buy directly with the book, and the vegetables are rationed at [-] catties per person."

Li Xingxing thanked repeatedly, "Thank you, comrades."
