I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 251 Life is too good

These days, food is the main thing.

Meat, you have to lose a little bit.

Is the king.

Seeing Li Xingxing take out a knife of pork belly from the basket, Grandpa Thirteen and Li Dazhu's eyes almost fell out.

"Can one person buy so much meat?" Li Dazhu often goes to the commune to the county seat, and knows more about the world than the members of Dalizi Village. The poultry and eggs purchased by the Supply and Marketing Cooperative of Huaihua Commune are not sold outside.

The reason is simple, it is all provided to cadres' families and senior intellectuals.

The piece of meat that Li Xingxing took was very fatty, and everyone knew it was good meat, the best kind.

Li Xingxing blinked at him, "Uncle, don't tell me if you see through!"

Li Dazhu was shocked: "Did you really buy it on the black market?"

"You know about the black market?" Li Xingxing was curious about this.

She always thought that uncle was an exceptionally well-behaved person!
Li Dazhu laughed, "I'm a team leader, so why don't I know the existence of the black market? It's the underground economy! I've also seen underground factories and underground transportation with my own eyes! Our Dalizi Village is rich in sweet potatoes. Although we can't eat enough, sweet potatoes also burn our hearts and stomachs. It is bloated, but it makes people hungry! There are often urban residents wandering around our village, spending some money to buy dozens of catties of sweet potatoes to tide over difficulties, and those who run underground factories buy them back to make vermicelli. People who are short of money are willing to sell them secretly. Give it to them. Some other people pick some vegetables and sweet potatoes and go to the black market to buy tickets and tickets. Even if they sell it for money, the price is a little higher than that offered by the supply and marketing cooperative."

Black market, most locations are outside the city.

Driven by profit, there are always people who rush into the black market one after another.

People die for money, birds die for food, a wise saying that has not changed through the ages.

How did the meat, eggs and fine grains in the black market come from?Some are sold by the countrymen themselves, some are bought by black market managers at high prices in the countryside, and then sold at a higher price, and old objects are also collected in gold bars and silver dollars, and some are secretly farmed by desperadoes in deep mountains and old forests , planting, harvesting and then selling at a high price, everyone pays a penny.

In short, the black market is very complicated, and it has its own set of mature operating methods, which the country repeatedly prohibits.

Now that the food supply is difficult, it is even more rampant.

Recently, despite the famine still spreading, some commune members secretly sold dried sweet potatoes. Dried sweet potatoes that cost a few cents a catty in the grain store can be sold for one or two yuan on the black market. They made a huge windfall.

Cuihua said it was a big loss.

A basket of sweet potatoes can be sold for dozens of yuan, enough to marry two daughters-in-law, but she only got one daughter-in-law back, and her natal family is a burden.

Therefore, the eyes are not the eyes, and the nose is not the nose.

Li Xingxing wiped off his sweat after listening to Li Dazhu's explanation of what he knew about the black market.

She is one of those who sell food and meat at a high price!

Does it count as helping the evildoers?
However, to be honest, it is generally the rich who buy high-priced refined grains, meat and eggs on the black market, and the poor will only buy coarse grains as much as possible, or exchange fine grains for coarse grains, so that they can satisfy themselves with large quantities.

Touching his nose, Li Xingxing hurriedly said: "Mother, cut two catties to make braised pork, and take the rest to grandma and grandpa."

Good stuff, let's share it together!

Everyone is short of oil and water, and braised pork should be everyone's yearning.

When she couldn't eat meat at Lao Li's house, she missed the oily and greasy braised pork very much.

Grandpa Thirteen was surprised and said: "Make two catties of braised pork? No, no, Chinese New Year is not such a luxury."

"Where is the extravagance?" Li Xingxing puffed up his cheeks.

Afraid to scare Grandpa Shisan and uncle, she didn't dare to take out cooked food such as pork head meat and sauced beef. She only took out a roast chicken after the pork belly, "I bought it at the roast chicken shop, mother cut it up and put it plate."

There are two hard dishes as the base, and what Li Xiuhong cooks is vegetarian dishes.

A stir-fried loofah and a stir-fried green vegetable.

The greasy look made Grandpa Thirteen and Li Dazhu inhale and inhale again, but they didn't catch their saliva.

Have a great time, right?
