Reborn in the fiery age, I am a salted fish in the mountains

Chapter 200 Marriage can't be postponed
For the dish of steamed hoof knuckles, if there is a meat ticket, the catering service agency sells it for 2 yuan and 8 cents.

The hoofs, which are steamed from the hind legs of a full 3 catties of pigs, are oily and golden, trembling and looking greedy.

If a customer doesn't have a meat ticket and wants to eat, the price will almost double: 5 yuan and 3 cents for 2 pieces.

This price is roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary employee who has just started working, and he earns 1/4 of his salary a month.

Can't afford it, how can I afford it?
Unless it's a child's wife or an old man's birthday, or the leader is invited, otherwise, most of these city workers are reluctant to buy a steamed hoof to satisfy their hunger.

A fragrant steamed hoof is sold for 5 yuan, 3 cents and 2 cents.

It was the price calculated by the Price Bureau and the Planning Commission after several days of clattering with the abacus, and no one could change a single cent without permission.

Otherwise, it is quite a serious error of principle.

Buying anything during this period is generally the same: the price varies from fraction to fraction.

Don't say why the prices of every commodity, including food, are accurate to the point?
Actually not.

There are many things whose prices are actually accurate to the centimeter: for example, if you take the "Grain Supply Book" to buy second-grade rice at the grain station's store, you need to make up the difference of 1 cents and 5 cents.

Buy sweet potato starch at the "Nongside and Local Products Store" of the supply and marketing cooperative, and the price per catty is 2 cents 7 cents 7.

Vermicelli is 2 cents, 9 cents and 3 pounds.

And so on.

Because the above set the price too carefully, the salesperson often scolded his mother in his heart: he is a bastard!It made it difficult for me to collect money, and I had to round it up from time to time to settle with customers.

If you say one or two customers, that's fine.

The price difference in the middle is not big, and the worst result is that the salesperson pays out of his own pocket and puts a penny or two cents in it.

Merchandise is an exclusive business, and sometimes, it needs to face hundreds of customers to buy things in a day.

Give Zhang three and four houses, and give Li four and five houses.
The last customer gave up 4% of the change, and the next customer charged 2% more. As a result, after a whole day, there will inevitably be a difference of 3 cents and 5 cents between the amount receivable and the actual storage.

It's not okay for the person in charge of the store to put in the money, and it's not okay if you don't make up for the error that should be handed over to the unit.

After all, in this period, everyone is desperately striving to be "clean and self-disciplined", guarding the gates for the public, "absolutely not to make a mistake of 1 cent and 1 cent", this is the most basic professional quality and moral requirement.

So there are many people who actually have great complaints about the prices set by the Price Bureau and the Planning Commission.

but no one dared to say
If any serious guy has to report this kind of problem to the Price Bureau and the Planning Commission.

The custodian will get a very serious and official reply: Ah, comrade, we are based on the relevant documents and regulations, after scientific planning, the comrades with the most rigorous working attitude and the highest professional level in our unit carefully calculated and repeated Check. Ah, the price that is finally figured out.

Ah, we are rigorous!Call it serious and responsible! !
Public pricing involves the vital interests of millions of people, so can it be set at will?

Comrade, your response to this question is very good. We also thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to ask us your questions. Ah.

But the problem is, comrade, the problem you raised is not a problem in the first place. If it is a problem, we will study it seriously and solve it based on the concept of putting the interests of the masses first.
The thing is, it's not a problem in itself, right?Comrade. Do you have any questions?
: Uh, no problem.

Han Xiaokang wandered to the store of the catering service agency, just in time for the service agency's steamed vegetables to come out.

When the staff stood on the stove and reached out to open the lid of the steamer, the smell of meat instantly permeated the entire hall of the catering service agency.

The simple dining hall can't hold such a strong fragrance, so every corner and corner of 1/3 of the streets in Zhenxing District is full of this tempting smell that can make everyone cry.
"Gudong."

"Uh gurgling."

The smell of meat is really gluttonous, not to mention those residents who are boiling sweet potato leaves, blanching amaranth at home, or bending over to fish 42-year-old sauerkraut from the old sauerkraut altar, all feel their stomachs tighten.

Even the customers who are eating at the "event" in the catering service agency, their saliva is pouring up like they don't want money
So gluttonous!

"Yongqiang. Have you noticed that today's steamed knuckles are quite big?"

Fu Hongying, who was eating lunch in the catering service hall, dug "Ma Po Tofu" into her bowl with a spoon, and said casually, "I don't know that the catering service agency uses such solid materials. Profit?"

Wang Yongqiang replied without raising his head as he pawed at the rice, "Should there be, right? The fat man in the service agency is very smart. How could he let the service agency pay for it?"

"Hey, Hongying, do you want to eat steamed knuckles?" Wang Yongqiang, whose reflex arc was obviously a bit long, suddenly raised his head and asked his girlfriend.

"no no."

Fu Hongying secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "I'm just asking casually, thinking that using such a big hoof to cook this dish must not let the public suffer."

"Oh."

Wang Yongqiang continued to fill his mouth with miscellaneous grains and rice, "If you want to eat it, wait until I get the meat ticket from my unit next month.

You know the meat ticket for this month. In order to thank others for their help, I sent you to work in a supply and marketing cooperative and used it to treat guests to dinner. Hey, my parents have meat tickets, but he knows the two of us I'm not willing to take it out for my use. "

"Well, it's okay, I won't eat."

Fu Hongying chewed the tofu cubes carefully, and replied softly, "I can get my salary next month, maybe there will be meat tickets too! At that time, I will treat you to a good meal to make up for it." Body. Yongqiang, you have to strengthen your exercise, I think your body is really weak."

"What's wrong!"

Wang Yongqiang was displeased, "Didn't this last month go around for you and ask for connections in order to solve your work problems?

And for a while, because the People's Commune was about to be established, I had to go to the production team in the countryside every day.

No, after dinner, I have to go to the Shengli production team right away.

Urge them to hurry up and get ready the colorful flags, red silk, gongs and drums, etc., then they have to make the celebrations lively and decent, running around every day, tired, I'm just tired . "

tired?
If this girl didn't know everything about you, I would almost believe your words.

Fu Hongying nodded gently, "Then you have to take care of your body, after all, your body is the capital of the song title!"

But she was thinking in her heart: Just because you can't run 30 steps and you have to stop to breathe, you think it's dewy when you go out in the morning, you think the sun is too hot when you work at noon, and you are always trying to find ways to be lazy, you are so tired!

Other officers of the district office went to the countryside to station. Due to the tight schedule and heavy tasks, they would not go home for ten days and a half months.

Focus on work.

You're good, sneaking home from time to time, and rushing to my old lady, but unfortunately, it's faster than a chef in a catering service agency.

Really boring!
Fu Hongying suppressed the greediness of her two mouths, glanced at the stove, and two staff members of the service agency worked together to lift the steamer down.

As a result, the dishes in the huge steamer on several layers were completely displayed in Fu Hongying's eyes:
Steamed meatballs, steamed crispy meat, steamed knuckles, steamed whole chicken with wolfberry and jujube, steamed salty and sweet roasted white, steamed pork ribs, steamed old duck with sour radish, steamed beef with flour.
Proper nine bowls!
It seems that today's catering service agency may have received a group dinner task from a certain unit, so so many steamed vegetables have been prepared.

There are more than a dozen tables or even dozens of tables for entertaining and dining, and the catering service agency usually prepares some extra dishes for emergencies.

Especially things like steamed vegetables, there can only be more but not less.

Otherwise, it is too late to do it temporarily.And because the steamed vegetable oil is large, there is always a thick layer of oily flowers on the dishes to isolate the air, so it is very durable.

Therefore, the steamed dishes made by the catering service agency will always come out much more than expected. When the time comes, they will be used for the banquet. If they are not used, the catering service agency can sell them to customers.

If it is not possible, the catering service agency can also contact the canteens of those units to share the excess steamed vegetables.

Especially the canteens of the district offices and the staff canteens of the supply and marketing cooperatives, please share some of the steamed vegetables back to help eliminate the inventory.

Therefore, catering is not a steamed dish every time, so there is no need to worry about indigestion.

"gone."

Fu Hongying was in a complicated state of mind, and Wang Yongqiang, who had always done things simply and rudely, was already full by himself.

He wiped his mouth, then stood up, "I won't invite you out of the restaurant for the next few days, you'd better go back to the staff cafeteria of your unit to get a meal!
Oh.. You will go to the counter to make up for the food stamps and price difference for today's meal.

If it weren’t for the fact that I’m an officer of the commune, the catering service agency wouldn’t allow me to pay for the fare after eating. I’m leaving, and the production team still has a lot of messy things, and I need to urge them to work. "

"I won't be back these days."

Wang Yongqiang muttered as he walked out, "For this celebration, the production teams have to judge each other. Damn, I don't expect to be in the top three, but I can't be at the bottom, right?
The cadres of the production team were so incapable of doing things that they didn't have any savvy to stare at them for a day, and they were sure to make mistakes. "

"Oh, and, last time you said that you should conceive with the flesh and blood of our old Wang's family first, and then go to my parents to discuss marriage. I have no objection, but you have to hurry up."

Wang Yongqiang suddenly remembered something.

Then she turned around, leaned over and whispered in Fu Hongying's ear, "You have to fight hard, get pregnant before the end of the year, and then I will have the confidence to go back and have a showdown with my parents."

Fu Hongying nodded with a blushing face, "Okay, after you've finished your work for a while, let's work overtime and try to live together as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Wang Yongqiang responded, then turned and left again.

Looking at Wang Yongqiang's leaving back, Fu Hongying's face was full of helplessness: Who doesn't know the truth of sowing one seed in spring and harvesting ten thousand grains in autumn?

But I don’t know how many times it has been sown, and there is still no sign of germination in the field.

Could it be that it's the seeds?
Alas. My sister and brother-in-law were two successes at one time.

But why can't it work when I come to my own place?

Fu Hongying sat there, full of sadness and helplessness.

". Ho, tui!"

And Wang Yongqiang, who had just walked to the door of the catering service agency, couldn't wait to spit out a mouthful of old phlegm.

Just as he was wiping his mouth and about to leave, he suddenly saw Han Xiaokang walking over carrying a basket with several dishes in it.

"Ho boy, are you here to buy steamed buns or fritters?"

Wang Yongqiang stood on the steps at the entrance of the service agency, contemptuously contemptuously at Han Xiaokang, "It's late. Don't even think about it. The service agency makes pancakes and steamed buns in the morning.

It's time, how many leftover steamed buns and fried dough sticks can there be?Those three melons and two dates have already been snatched up by others."

"Rang, good dogs don't get in the way."

Han Xiaokang grabbed Wang Yongqiang, "Comrade, give me a steamed pork belly. In addition, two bowls of steamed crispy pork and steamed pork ribs. Some people in the family love this dish, so I will take another one back."

Wang Yongqiang's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

At that moment, he actually forgot that he was dragged down the steps by the other party just now, and he didn't even bother to get angry.

Take several bowls of steamed vegetables at once?
Do you want to be so arrogant?

Residents living in the streets of Zhenxing District are not among them who do not have better economic conditions.

It's not uncommon for them to come over occasionally with an enamel basin to cut some cold dishes, make a serving of twice-cooked pork or something.

But like Han Xiaokang, coming here to buy those expensive steamed vegetables is like going to an unfamiliar store of a supply and marketing cooperative to buy three handfuls of water spinach.
This kind of scene, to be honest, rarely happens on the streets of the revitalization district today.

"Shaking."

Wang Yongqiang muttered, and left on his own.

At this juncture, the establishment of the People's Commune is imminent, and the higher authorities need to vigorously publicize how happy and prosperous the life of the members of the production team is.

Under such circumstances, Wang Yongqiang did not dare to argue with Han Xiaokang who came to consume:

If because of a member of the production team, with a lot of money, he came to the catering service agency to improve his life.

But Wang Yongqiang, who is a cadre of the district office, is serious with the peasants who have turned over and their lives are getting sweeter?

That would seriously damage the current happy atmosphere where all members of the production team are beaming.

If Wang Yongqiang really dared to fight Han Xiaokang today, he would be severely punished by the leaders of the district office before it was night!
It's like a member of the production team getting married at home, but he ran to make trouble.Everyone else was beaming, but this guy just made everyone break up?

That's great!
