I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 196 Buying Meat
Aunt Ma approached and exclaimed: "Comrade Xu Feng, is there any more fat? Is there any suet?"

"No, no more. Now the supply is greatly reduced. Only lean meat and bones are available. Meat is subject to a ticket, but bones are not subject to a ticket. But like pork liver, it is a nutritious meal, and you can only buy it with a doctor's certificate." There were several butchers, but the one who answered the question was a middle-aged man with a big shoulder and a round waist. It seemed that he was good at killing pigs and cattle.

"Why is everyone's hands so fast, don't leave some fat for us! Lean meat can't be fried!" Madam Ma complained angrily, and then gave the meat bills and banknotes forward, "Comrade Xu Feng , cut me a couple of lean pieces of meat."

Xu Feng neatly cut off a small piece of meat.

Weigh one on the scale, one or two whole.

But Mrs. Ma put it carefully into the bamboo basket as if she had found a treasure, and said to Li Xiuhong: "Comrade Li Xiuhong, do you want me to wait for you to go back together? Anyway, there is no good meat, you can buy whatever you want, and keep the meat ticket until the next time you have fat meat." Come buy again."

Li Xiuhong smiled and said, "Please go ahead, I have to buy briquettes later."

Aunt Ma left after hearing this.

Compared with her, Li Xiuhong seemed extraordinarily rich in buying meat: "Please cut six taels of meat for me."

Xu Feng looked up at Li Xiuhong, "New here? I haven't seen you before."

"Yes, we only moved in last month." Li Xiuhong said.

"There is only one new family on Wutong Street, house No. 18, it must be your home."

After Xu Feng finished speaking, he slid his fingers over several pieces of lean meat one by one, and finally stopped at a piece of pork foreleg. He cut out a piece of meat the size of a fist, with a little skin and fat, and the scale was raised in front of Li Xiuhong. Gao Qiaoqi was quickly pressed down by him, "Seven cents and sixty cents for lean meat, seven cents for lean meat, and forty-two cents for six taels, plus six taels of meat."

"Thank you." Li Xiuhong paid the money and the ticket.

After buying the meat, she turned around and squeezed into the crowd of candy stores, grain and oil stores, and used up the sugar and oil tickets. She bought half a catty of white sugar for four cents, and a catty of peanut oil for sixty-nine cents. No eggs served, no good!
Whether it is available in other stores, she does not know.

Because, the things with the voucher have to be purchased in the designated store.

Li Xiuhong withdrew the egg ticket with regret, and then used the supply certificate to buy soap, washing powder, labor insurance gloves and some daily necessities that did not require a certificate or ticket, and finally bought briquettes.

Citizens buy briquettes on a quarterly basis, and most of them bought them last month, so there are not many people.

A load of briquettes costs two yuan and four yuan, which is a full hundred catties.

Li Xingxing thought Li Xiuhong's salary was low, but Li Xiuhong bought everything for only five yuan.

The rations for the couple are just over five yuan.

The two add up to a total of ten dollars.

Therefore, under the condition that Li Xingxing does not buy high-priced goods or eat high-priced meals, her one-month salary is enough for the living expenses of the couple, and it is more than enough.

To be honest, the two of them really don't need anything.

Because she planned to go back to Dalizi Village today, and Li Xingxing was not at home for dinner, so she was not in a hurry to buy vegetables home.

Li Xingxing had already left for school, so he wrote back a note to Li Xiuhong.

Next to the note were two baskets, each of which contained things Li Xingxing prepared, including two catties of brown sugar, two bottles of canned food, a bag of candy, a bag of eggs, two pieces of old bacon, two cans of malted milk, ten handfuls of dried noodles, twenty A catty of flour, twenty catties of rice, and a bag of spinning tops she prepared for the children, everyone has a share.

Li Xingxing brought it back last night, but Li Xiuhong didn't know where she got these precious materials.

She always has some doors that others can't find.

The black market price is high, so she must have spent a lot of money.

Li Xiuhong sighed softly. Compared with her daughter's extravagance, the salary of twenty or thirty a month is indeed a bit small. Fortunately, there are 20 yuan from Chen Nianen and 60 yuan from Chen Goudan.

Chen Goudan hasn't sent food stamps for several months, and I don't know if there will be any this month.

With no time to think about it, Li Xiuhong ordered herself a bowl of green vegetable noodles, and hurried to Dalizi Village after eating.
