My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 85 Grain Card
On Monday, October 10th, Xiang Xin returned to work on the first day.

In the office, Xu Dong took the gift from Xiang Xin and asked with a smile:

"It's so tightly packed, what's in it?"

"Two silver bracelets, Brother Xu, don't you have two daughters, just one for each person." Xiang Xin said politely.

Xu Dong opened the package and saw two exotic bracelets in front of him. Even at the current price of silver, they were not precious gifts.

However, it is very suitable as a souvenir.

"The bracelet is very beautiful, I thank you for our eldest and second child." Xu Dong thanked with a smile.

Xiang Xin waved his hand, "It's just a small gift, the silver price in Jinglong is so cheap, it's not worth much."

Next, Xu Dong inquired about the current situation in the southern border, and Xiang Xin did not hide it, and told everything he knew.

"It's a pity that Xiao Wang is gone, otherwise we can go to Jinglong to marry a wife." Xu Dong sighed.

Xiang Xin blushed slightly, and said angrily: "Brother Xu, why do you have such a dirty... bad idea, this is taking advantage of others' danger and disrespecting women..."

"Okay, I'm just saying that, you're still serious, are you worried that He Jian won't be able to control yourself?" Xu Dong teased.

Xiang Xin blushed, turned her head and took someone out for patrol.

……

Turning her gaze back to the courtyard, Xu Ma was looking for the household registration book in the bedroom.

Just a few days ago, the Daxia Congress officially passed the "National Grain Rationing Act", which caused a sensation across the country.

This bill further clarifies the principle of unified purchase and sales of grain in terms of policy, and establishes the basic national policy of quantitative supply according to the registered population.

To put it simply, the production and sales of food in the future will be 100% monopolized by the state, which is somewhat similar to the tobacco monopoly system.

For a while, many people exclaimed that the era of food stamps is about to make a comeback!
Of course, according to the current level of technology, it is impossible for food stamps to come back.

After all, the management methods are too extensive, and replaced by a more advanced grain card system.

The so-called food card is roughly similar in function to the food stamp, and it is used as a food purchase certificate.

It is a chip card issued by the National Bureau of Statistics and entrusted by the four major state-owned banks.

In theory, one card per household is required.

Every month, every week, and even every day, the Bureau of Statistics will use big data technology, combined with national grain reserves, to uniformly distribute rations to all households.

Compared with food stamps, food cards can be accurate to the age of each person, thereby establishing the ration standard for each family, and it is also more flexible, avoiding one-size-fits-all.

For example, Xu Dong's family of seven has five children, three of which are infants.

This is a special family.

Therefore, big data will definitely reduce the number of rations, but it will also increase the proportion of refined grains. It can be said that the advantages and disadvantages are half and half.

At this moment, Yang Lina came in with her household registration book: "Mom, have you found it here?"

"found it."

Xu Ma held up the household registration book and said that when people are old, their memory is not good, and it took a long time to find them.

"Then let's go quickly, there will be many people later."

Today is the first day to apply for a food card.

I don't know where the news came from, saying that the higher the number of the ration card, the more advantage it will have in allocating rations, so Yang Lina and her mother-in-law are so anxious.

"Walk around, don't forget the bottle."

Xu’s father and Xu’s mother belong to an independent household, and the family needs to apply for two food cards. Yang Lina and Xu’s mother both need to go in person. Considering that the triplets are not taken care of, they can only take them together.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law brought triplets to a nearby bank, and there was already a long line in front of the bank gate.

"Old Zhang, this way." Lao Qian of the Square Dance Troupe waved.

Xu Ma replied, "Well, Lao Qian, you came very early!"

"Aunt Qian is early!" Yang Lina also nodded at the other party.

Xu Ma held Dabao in her left hand, Erbao in her right hand, Yang Lina held Xiaobao, and they walked to the back of the team.

"It's not too early, just ten minutes earlier than you."

"Dabao, Erbao, this is your grandma Qian. Say hello to grandma."

"Grandma... Milk is good!" Dabao shouted loudly.

Dabao is the most lively of the triplets. He usually listens to Xu's mother and is not very afraid of people.

Lao Qian looked at the triplets with admiration: "I haven't seen each other for a month. Dabao and the others have grown so big. Look at each of them. They are so white and tender. They are so attractive."

"Children, they grow up fast." Xu Ma said with a smile.

Yang Lina took out the parasol, let the three little guys stand under the umbrella, and put on sunscreen.

On the other side, Xu Ma and Lao Qian chatted about the food card.

"Old Zhang, your family is going to suffer a lot this time."

Mother Xu's face tightened, and she quickly asked, "How do you say it?"

"I heard people say that in the future, food will be distributed according to age. Your triplets are too young. Together, they will be divided into a dozen catties each month at most." Lao Qian said regretfully.

"Hey, there's nothing you can do about it. If you have less food, you should eat less. It's enough to eat."

Xu Ma sighed, but she wasn't disappointed in her heart. She had sufficient food reserves, and a little less would have no effect at all.

Lao Qian comforted: "That's right, you're still in a good mood. My family, these days, run to Panjiayuan every day, and I didn't buy much food, but I caught a cold from the cold."

"Is it serious?" Xu Ma asked with concern.

"Fortunately, I have a small cold, I guess it will be fine after two days of medicine."

"It's fine. By the way, what is the price of food in Panjiayuan now?" Xu Ma asked curiously.

Old Qian lowered his head and replied softly: "Rice costs more than 130 a catty, flour costs a hundred pounds a catty, and the cheapest corn costs more than 80."

"So expensive?"

Mother Xu was taken aback. She had not paid attention to the food prices on the market for a long time.

"It's still expensive. Now, even if you have money, you can't buy food. Fortunately, Lao Sun reminded him earlier, and with the two bags of rice we bought from you, our family managed to stock up a few hundred kilograms of rice." The old money said happily.

"One day find an opportunity to ask the old grandson to come out and sit, and let's get together again." Xu Ma suggested.

"Okay, Lao Zhang, how much rice does your family hoard?"

Mama Xu shook her head: "There wasn't much rice left in the store back then, only more than 300 catties, maybe not as much as yours!"

"It's almost, it's almost the same!" Lao Sun said embarrassedly. Speaking of which, he took advantage of Lao Zhang's family.

After waiting in line for more than an hour, the food card was finally completed. Yang Lina looked at the food card in her hand and felt that it was not much different from ordinary bank cards.

The front of the card is printed with the national emblem, country name, issuing unit, and a string of thirteen-digit card numbers.

Some precautions are printed on the back of the card, such as the function of the food card, the scope of use, the instructions for reporting the loss, the service hotline, and the official website URL.

There is also a warning text at the bottom, to the effect that stealing other people's food cards is a serious crime, starting in ten years.

In addition, it should also be noted that each time you "swipe your card", you need to enter a password or fingerprint authentication.
