Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 43
"My lord, can't I eat this big steamed bun and stewed meat today?"

someone asked.

Only a small half of people rushed to redeem the grain.

Most of the people remained in the cafeteria.

Everyone trusts Zhao Cheng.

Since Mr. Zhao said that the grain can be exchanged at any time, it must be able to be exchanged.

"Eating adults' meals, I still don't believe adults...

He~ spit!
I will not be friends with that kind of person in the future! "

"It's so unreasonable! It's like a starving ghost who goes crazy when he hears about food."

"..."

Those who stayed behind were full of superiority in their words, looked down on those who rushed to exchange, and felt that they were not generous enough.

"Eat!"

Zhao Cheng smiled.

"These are prepared for you, of course you can eat them.

But it's not free, you have to buy it with the food stamps in your hand.

Big steamed buns cost [-] cents each... Oh, [-] cents means [-] cents.

The stew is five yuan a piece.Eat more and buy more, eat less and buy less, practice strict saving and no waste. "

"My lord, I want to buy some steamed buns and two catties of meat, and bring them home for my family to eat, is that okay?" The same person asked just now.

"of course can!"

Zhao Cheng nodded.

"This food stamp is your own, you can spend it however you want.

I'm only responsible for assuring you that as long as I, Zhao Cheng, are around for a day, you can exchange this food stamp for food at any time. "

"it is good!"

"Good job, my lord!"

"Thank you sir!"

"My lord is very merciful!"

"..."

Suddenly, there was another burst of applause.

Only young and strong people are eligible to be selected as long-term workers.

Therefore, even though the living standards of the Qiangdi people have generally improved, there are still many old and young women who still cannot eat meat.

In the past, there was a rule in the cafeteria that you can only eat by yourself, and you cannot take it home.

I have literacy class in the evening, and after I finish the class, I can only bring big steamed buns home, not meat.

Now finally has a chance.

"I want two catties of meat! Ten big steamed buns."

"I also want two catties of meat! Eight big steamed buns."

"I want three catties of meat and twenty steamed buns."

"..."

People rushed forward to buy it one after another, wanting to take it home for their family to taste.

"In the past, when my child heard that he ate big meat every day, he clamored all day long that he wanted to grow up early, and followed me to work for adults and eat big meat.

Hey!Don't you just eat it? "

As a man, it is very pleasant to be able to go home with food and support his wife and children.

The meals in the cafeteria were sold out quickly, and many people were holding meal tickets but failed to grab them.

"We have no shortage of food, but we didn't expect you to buy so much, so we did less...

If you are short of food, you can go to exchange food first!
There is a lot of grain in the warehouse, piled up like a mountain.

You guys changed the food and went home to make it yourself, come to the cafeteria early tomorrow..."

The canteen chef held a loudspeaker and yelled loudly to reassure everyone.

It's not that there's a shortage of food, it's because the canteen is doing about the same amount as usual today.

As a result, I didn't expect that everyone's enthusiasm for buying food in the cafeteria was so high.

"Hahaha!"

There was a burst of good-natured laughter in the cafeteria, full of joy.

"Come and see, everyone! There's something interesting in the warehouse!"

Someone shouted outside.

"What's the fun?"

Curious people flocked towards the warehouse.

……

Yang Erxian arrived one step later than the first group of people who rushed out.

Because he was with Yang Ni, he wasted some time.

"Damn girl!

Sure enough, girls are not allowed to stay, the girls' elbows are all turned outwards!

It is useless to have a daughter! "

Yang Erxian was still cursing.

"You don't want to give me food stamps? Don't let me beat your own daughter?
I want to exchange all the food stamps!
If you dare not exchange it for me, I will make trouble here!
Let everyone know that his two idiots don't count! "

Of course, Yang Erxian only dared to whisper these words, but never dared to say them out loud.

Now Zhao Cheng's prestige is too high.

If people heard that he dared to scold Zhao Cheng, he might be beaten to death.

There is a new warehouse in Huoludun, with a very large area, and it is still under construction. The scale can already be seen, which is very shocking.

What is being used now is a temporary warehouse. In the simple house made of colored steel tiles, grain is piled up like a mountain.

There is also a counter, against the wall.

On the wall behind the counter, there are shelves leaning against each other.

There are not only grains on the shelves, but also various commodities, which are dazzling.

Young people in blue clothes stood behind the counter with bright smiles on their faces.

The products on the shelves are all clearly marked.

When Yang Erxian came in, he saw everyone crowded around the counter.

Without saying a word, he first rushed to exchange the grain and piled it under his feet, so that he felt at ease.

Then, follow along to watch the excitement and see what the dazzling array of things behind the counter are.

Some people are not in a hurry to exchange grain when they see the grain piled up in the warehouse.

Anyway, with so much food, it is impossible to be unable to exchange it.

Of course, there are also people who, like Yang Erxian, are timid and suspicious by nature, rushing to redeem first.

"Is this salt? It says five cents a catty of food stamps...

Does it mean that you can buy a catty of salt for five cents of food stamps? "

Someone asked, pointing to bags of salt.

The products on the shelves are all from the system mall.

One advantage of products produced by the system mall is that the product packaging is very simple, without any modern instructions printed, only the type and weight of the product are marked.

For example, table salt is packaged in a moisture-proof paper bag with the word "salt" written on it and "weight: one catty".

"Yes! We are called a supply and marketing cooperative here, and it is Mr. Zhao's property, buying and selling all daily necessities.

No silver or copper coins are accepted here, only food stamps.

As long as you have food stamps, you can buy anything you want here. "

The salesperson speaks clearly with a smile on his face.

"Then I want two catties... ten catties... no! I want twenty catties of salt!" the person who asked the question said immediately.

"Okay, twenty catties of salt, here it is for you!"

With a smile on his face, the salesperson brought him [-] catties of salt and received a [-]-yuan food stamp.

Salt, like food, is a necessity of life.

People can't eat salt.

It is secondary that the rice has no taste. These days, people are going to starve to death, as long as they can eat, who cares about the taste?
The key is that if you don't eat salt, you will have no strength!
People will die!

There is no salt production in the Xuanfu area, and the salt they eat is all brought in by merchants from Shanxi.

The price is high.

A catty of grain cannot even be exchanged for a catty of salt.

Now, one catty of grain can be exchanged for two catties of salt...

No matter how you calculate it, it's all earned!
"I want fifty catties."

"I want fifty catties too."

"..."

People first started grabbing the salt.

Fortunately, the warehouse is well stocked, and the salesperson is not in a hurry and sells in an orderly manner.

"To cook by yourself, you need oil. I need to buy a few catties of oil."

"That red-headed rope is so pretty. I'll buy one for Erhua, the head of the village."

"..."

People have food stamps in their hands, and they can have enough food in their stomachs. When they see something they like, they want to buy it.
