Chapter 4 Buying Pastries

What Aunt He thinks, Ye Tan ignores it for the time being, anyway, according to Aunt He's usual behavior, within half a day, the story of her being beaten will definitely spread in the alley.

Out of the alley, she went straight to the grocery store.

Fengtang Town is not too big, and the alley where Ye's family lives is in the center of the town, so Ye Tan found a non-staple food store based on the original owner's memory.

There is only one main road in Fengtang Town. Non-staple food stores, department stores and hardware stores, including state-run restaurants, are all on this street. There are a lot of bungalows.

Looking at the very old-fashioned store in front of her and the people in gray, blue and black clothes around her, Ye Tan once again felt that she had really come to this era of scarcity of supplies, and she took a deep breath. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and planned to go to the non-staple food store to have a look. I don't know what pastries can be bought in this age.

There are almost no records of these in the memory of the original owner.

Today is a working day, there are not many people in the non-staple food store, Ye Tan looked around, candy, canned food, tea, cakes, tobacco and alcohol, etc., there are many types, finally, Ye Tan stood in front of the pastry counter .

Salesmen in this era are all earning jobs, but there is no concept that customers are gods. The salesman in his 30s sitting behind the counter raised his eyelids and glanced at Ye Tan, knitting sweaters in his hands. He said, "What do you want to buy?"

Fengtang Town is a small town, so there are not many types of pastries, only some bad cakes, glutinous rice noodles, honey three knives and so on.

Ye Tan then asked: "How do you sell bad cakes?"

"Seven cents a catty, plus six taels of food stamps." The salesman still didn't get up, and replied indifferently.

"Where's the rice noodles?"

"Nine cents a catty, no food stamps."

"Then I want two catties of bad cakes and two catties of glutinous rice sticks, each of which will be served in one catty."

"It's three yuan and twenty-four cents in total, plus food stamps of one catty and two taels. Are you sure you want to buy it? Pay first, and I'll pack it for you after paying the money." Hearing Ye Tan's words, the salesman looked up at Ye Tan. Fan, dressed in old clothes, doesn't look like someone who can spend money lavishly.

"Buy." Ye Tan nodded, and immediately took out the money and put it on the counter. It is said that the dim sum in this era is very honest. She has to save a catty to try it herself. Anyway, she is not short of money now. Besides, the various tickets in her hand are all local tickets, and it is useless to go back to the Northeast. It is serious to spend them quickly before leaving.

Seeing that Ye Tan took out all the bills, the salesperson raised his eyebrows, and without saying anything, after receiving the money bills, he wrapped the snacks and handed them to Ye Tan.

Carrying the snacks, Ye Tan went to the candy counter again, looked at the candies behind the counter, and said to the salesperson, "I bought two catties of white sugar, two catties of brown sugar, and two catties of fruit candy, each in a catty bag. One portion."

"A person can buy at most one catty of white sugar and half a catty of brown sugar." After finishing speaking, the salesman flicked the beads with the abacus, and finally said: "White sugar is seventy-eight cents a catty, add half a catty of white sugar tickets, and half a catty of brown sugar." Forty-nine cents, plus three taels of brown sugar tickets, and two cents a catty of fruit candy, a total of one sixty-seven cents, plus half a catty of white sugar tickets and three taels of brown sugar tickets."

Ye Tan froze for a moment, she almost forgot that supply is restricted in this era, it is impossible to buy as much as she wants.

Seeing that Ye Tan didn't speak, the salesperson frowned: "Do you want to buy it?"

"Ah, buy." Ye Tan nodded hurriedly, took out the money ticket and handed it to the salesperson. Then he took the things and prepared to look at other things. Who knew that when he looked up, he saw two familiar people from a distance. The figure with his back turned to her was talking to the salesperson at the pastry counter. Looking closely, it was the stepmother and step-sister of the original owner?
Ye Tan didn't want to meet the two of them at this time, so he turned around and left the grocery store.

Ye Xiaozhen was chasing Qian Huaihua to buy bad food, but Qian Huaihua didn't bring food stamps, so she coaxed Ye Xiaozhen to come back and buy again.

Ye Xiaozhen didn't agree, she pouted and refused to leave.

The salesperson at the pastry counter was impatient, frowned and said, "Do you want to buy it? If you don't buy it, don't get in the way. People still want to buy it."

After all, he rolled his eyes and looked at Qian Huaihua. He didn't bring food stamps when he went out to buy things. It's a lie. Look at that little girl before her, she didn't even blink when she bought things. Which family's prodigal child.

It was true that Qian Huaihua did not bring food stamps with her, so she made a promise and persuaded Ye Xiaozhen to leave the non-staple food store.

Ye Tan left first, thinking about what she told Mrs. He to go to the hospital, so she turned around, found a place where no one was around, put all the pastries and candies into the warehouse, and went to Fengtang Town People's Hospital.

She was beaten, there must be some proof.
