Chapter 94 Buying food

Shen Wanxi walked to the familiar counter, took out money from her pocket and put it on the table.

When the originally casual employee saw her, his attitude immediately became respectful: "Comrade, you are here again, do you want two cans of malted milk? Wait a moment, I will get it for you right away!"

The staff was very fast, no one waited long enough for Shen Wanxi to take out two cans of milk essence: "Comrade, this is your malted milk, six yuan a can, a total of 12 yuan, no ticket!"

"Success!" Shen Wanxi nodded and pushed the money in front of her. The staff took the money and put it away.

With a sweet smile on his face, he put what Shen Wanxi wanted in front of him like a dog: "Comrade, do you want something else? We have some new good things here."

The staff's voice became smaller and smaller, and they would look left and right from time to time to see if anyone was eavesdropping.
Seeing the vigilance of the other party, Shen Wanxi raised her eyebrows, and then went over to ask: "What good things came?"

Seeing the other party's mysterious appearance, Shen Wanxi couldn't help being a little curious. What can be called a good thing in this era?

"Recently, some milk powder came from the supply and marketing agency, comrade, do you want it?" Seeing that Shen Wanxi was curious, the staff whispered the things.

Originally, she wanted to keep this milk powder for her aunt. After all, her aunt had two children who needed milk powder.

But this milk powder is too expensive. Although there is no ticket, it costs ten yuan for a pack. This is half a month's salary for her, and she is really reluctant to part with it.

Now, seeing this little girl again, remembering how rich she was before, the staff said it out of nowhere.

"Milk powder?" Shen Wanxi raised her eyebrows, a little disinterested. There are a lot of milk powder in her space, all of which are imported, so there is no need to spend money to buy them.

Just when she was about to open her mouth to reject the other party, she suddenly thought of the two children of her sister-in-law's family. It was true that she had milk powder in her space, but that milk powder could not be given to my sister-in-law.

My sister-in-law lives in the town, not far from the supply and marketing cooperative. If I come here with milk powder and ask, wouldn't I have to wear it?
Forget it, let's buy a few packs here, at worst, when the time comes, change the powder in the milk powder.

Thinking of this, Shen Wanxi nodded: "How many do you have? How is the price calculated? Do you want a ticket?"

If he wanted a ticket, he probably wouldn't buy it. After all, he had all the tickets in his hand, but he didn't have a milk powder ticket.

This milk powder ticket is more expensive than food stamps, Shen Wanxi thinks he can't find it, so... If he wants a ticket, he won't buy it.

"Milk powder costs [-] yuan a can. No ticket is required. Each person can buy up to three bags. How many bags do you want?"

Hearing that Shen Wanxi wanted to buy milk powder, the clerk's eyes lit up, and he immediately told the price, after hearing the price, Shen Wanxi nodded, took out three big union cards from his pocket and handed them to the other party: "Give me three cans. "

Since there is no need for a ticket, Shen Wanxi can't let it go. Of the three cans of milk powder, two cans are given to my sister-in-law, and the remaining one can be brought home for him to have an excuse to let the children drink milk powder openly.

You don't have to hide in his room all the time, lest your mother have to knock on the door every evening.

"Success!" The clerk nodded and took the money in Shen Wanxi's hand: "Comrade, just wait for me now, and I'll pretend for you later!"

After finishing speaking, he walked directly to a door and opened it, and walked in quickly.

Shen Wanxi, on the other hand, stood aside and waited quietly, while thinking about the possibility of going to the grain station in her mind.

She had to buy some coarse grains to go back. The space was basically fine grains. It was fine to eat once or twice. If she ate them every day, no one would find out.

Their house is surrounded by neighbors. If they are seen, let alone whether it will cause jealousy or not, there will definitely be doubts.

One thing more is worse than one thing less. Shen Wanxi just wants to live an ordinary life, farming every day, going to town in her spare time, or taking a stroll in the back mountain.

Just when Shen Wanxi was thinking wildly, the staff who went to get the milk powder came back, and she put the milk powder in a pocket and handed it to Shen Wanxi:
"Comrade, this is what you want, please take it!"

"Thank you!" Shen Wanxi thanked politely and took the bag, the staff smiled: "You're welcome, you're welcome, go slowly!"

After Shen Wanxi nodded from the other party, she turned around and left the supply and marketing cooperative with a cloth bag, and went out the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative. Shen Wanxi found the grain station by asking for directions.

Today's grain station is extremely deserted, except for a staff member who is sitting behind the counter, the huge grain station is empty.

Standing at the door for a long time, after confirming that she did not go the wrong way, Shen Wanxi walked in with a small cloth bag.

"Hello, comrade, may I ask if you buy food here?" Shen Wanxi approached the other party politely to say hello, and then asked.

Hearing someone come to ask, the man sitting behind the counter stood up: "We buy food from us, but you need food stamps to buy food. Do you have food stamps?"

The man's tone was quite polite, and he first asked Shen Wanxi if he had any food stamps.

"Yes!" Shen Wanxi nodded and took out the food stamps she had been saving from her pocket: "Comrade, I want to buy ten catties of grain." Shen Wanxi said while putting the food stamps on the counter.

"Ten catties?" The clerk was a little surprised. He took the food stamp on the table and began to examine it carefully. After the food stamp was real, he nodded: "Yes, ten catties of grain costs one yuan and fifty cents."

Shen Wanxi took out the money very readily, but you didn't say anything when the other party took the money, you turned around and took a bag, and went to fill her with coarse food.

Now outside the counter, Shen Wanxi also saw a lot of coarse grains with various categories. Shen Wanxi didn't know how to buy coarse grains here.

Some places buy rice mixed with some coarse grains, such as sweet potatoes, yams and other grains. I don’t know if it will be mixed like this here.

As soon as Shen Wanxi came up with the idea, she saw a staff member walking towards her with a bag: "Comrade, here are your ten catties of grain, and here are five catties of rice and five catties of coarse grains."

"Okay, thank you, comrade!" Shen Wanxi took the bag after politely thanking the other party. She guessed right, it was half rice and half coarse grains.

After Shen Wanxi took the grain, she quickly left the grain station, looked up at the sun high in the sky, and found that it was getting late, Shen Wanxi planned to go to her sister-in-law's house and then went back.

She wanted to go up the mountain to pick some mushrooms again today. Her mother thought the mushrooms she picked last time tasted good. This time, she had to go up the mountain quietly, pick more mushrooms, and dig some wild vegetables by the way.

Thinking about it, Shen Wanxi couldn't help speeding up a bit, and after going around three or four alleys, she finally arrived at my sister-in-law's house.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Shen Wanxi just wanted to knock on the door, but the door opened as soon as her hand touched the popular door.

There were waves of quarrels and children's cries coming from inside the door, and Shen Wanxi couldn't help but walked in quickly.
