Chapter 42 Buying
When the college entrance examination resumes and the economy develops and opens up to the self-employed, these people will lose their jobs... But by then, the tricky people will become another group.

"why?"

Ren Bingxin asked confusedly, but Lu Miao kept silent, "Where are there so many and why? Don't worry about it yet. Gu Ying and the others are still waiting at the door. We have to go back after shopping."

"Ok."

Lu Miao bought soy sauce and vinegar, and also ordered two packages of MSG wrapped in one-inch oil paper.

Soy sauce and vinegar usually come from home in bottles. Lu Miao didn't have bottles, so she spent an extra ten cents to buy two.

The non-staple food station has many items, but they are not complete. For spices, I only found star anise, tangerine peel, bay leaves, cinnamon, and peppercorns. Cumin, nutmeg, and herbs are not available here.

Lu Miao bought some of what he could find. There were not many people in demand for such things in the market, and they were sold very cheaply. They were almost two cents a liang. Lu Miao picked and picked and bought them for [-] cents. A big bag.

Thinking about the previous meal at Fu Jingyou's place, Fu Jingyou used ginger to pick and choose. After Lu Miao bought the spices, she took Ren Bingxin and Gu Ying to the farmer's food station. She couldn't even see the ginger that cost five cents a pound. With a blink of an eye, I bought five kilograms in one go.

Gu Ying's jaw almost dropped in shock, "Why did you buy so much ginger? Ginger can't be used as food!"

Moreover, this ginger is not cheap. Other vegetables and fungi cost two cents per catty. Ginger costs five cents. Five catties went to two cents and five cents. Lu Miao paid so neatly that Gu Ying felt her flesh ache just looking at it.

Lu Miao curled her lips and smiled, then she leaned into Gu Ying's ear and made a random excuse:

"My aunt... I am weak and have stomachache during menstruation. When I came here, my family told me to drink more ginger water."

Lu Miao reluctantly deceived Gu Ying.

Lu Miao had a plan in her mind. She did buy a lot of ginger, but most of it was bought with pieces of ginger with lots of buds. She would go back and deal with it later. A whole piece of ginger can be divided into several pieces of small ginger. Sometimes you can try to breed yourself.

The reason why ginger is more expensive than other seasonal vegetables can most intuitively reflect two points. First, there are requirements for planting, or the planting technology is lacking, resulting in a failure to keep up with the output. The second is that there are few people growing it.

Think about it, in an era when food was not enough to satisfy hunger, people of course paid more attention to substantive food rations, such as rice, wheat flour, cane sugar, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, etc.

In the eyes of the public, any of these is more promising than growing ginger.

Lu Miao never thought about the big picture, she only thought about herself.

Fu Jingyou said that there are many turtles, eels and loaches in the channels and ditches.

Even if you go to the lake to catch them, no one will care about them, because these are things that others cannot eat.

This is the opinion of others. In Lu Miao's opinion, as long as there are enough seasonings, things that others don't like can become delicious.

If you really can't get meat, eating a whole meal of river fresh food once in a while can be regarded as a kind of compensation for the body and mind. Moreover, the nutritional value of eels and soft-shell turtles is not worse than that of pork.

"Is there anything else you haven't bought yet?"

"Yeah." Lu Miao nodded, basically buying everything except for the last thing, "Where can I buy wine?"

Not to mention Gu Ying, both Geng Xiaoyun and Ren Bingxin looked surprised, "Wine? Are you still drinking?"

"Oh no, tell me first!"

Lu Miao used the magical skill of coquettishness, but Gu Ying couldn't resist it, so she had to say truthfully:

"They are sold at supply and marketing cooperatives, but you need foreign exchange coupons. Do you have them?" Yes, of course, you must have them!
Lu Miao took Gu Ying's arm, and the group jogged all the way back to the supply and marketing cooperative.

When buying wine, Lu Miao bought one bottle each of yellow wine and white wine. The bottles of the two bottles were not much bigger than her palm, and they were the ones Fu Jingyou used before.

It's not easy to come out at ordinary times. If it weren't for the presence of others and the fact that he had already "squandered" today, Lu Miao would have loved to buy a few more bottles of consumables like this.

The letter was sent, the food was eaten, and almost all the things they wanted were bought. This outing was a perfect end. The girls packed up and walked home together.

The atmosphere was just right. Geng Xiaoyun carried a bamboo basket on his back, straightened his back, and couldn't help but sing:
"The red flag is waving in the wind, and the silver sickle is shining in the waves.

The singing is soaring into the sky, where are you chasing me?

Chairman M shows us the way, let’s go, sweat brings a good harvest.

Hey, the food is piled up like a mountain, and everyone is smiling.

Facing the harvest scene, express your wishes to the party.

We must turn the wasteland into a granary, and we must contribute more to the revolution..."

There are no luxury cars, jewelry, or high-rise buildings. Wherever you walk along the street, there are only gray adobe walls. The only thing with bright colors is probably the slogan "Grasp the Revolution, Promote Production" written on red paper on the wall.

People worked hard and lacked radical utilitarianism. Lu Miao was a little uncomfortable at first, but as Geng Xiaoyun sang, the girls gradually started to sing along. Lu Miao was infected by the atmosphere, and some kind of power seemed to gather in her heart, and she gradually became more and more aware of it. A little more calm.

"Lu Miao, everyone is singing, how do you sing? Let's sing together!"

"Haha..." Lu Miao smiled sadly, her pretty face showing a rare trace of confusion, "I don't know... you guys sing, I'll listen to you sing a few times first, and then I can follow along next time."

"Good~"

The girls were laughing and joking, walking in the afterglow of the sunset and returning to the production team. When they arrived at the educated youth point, Lu Miao, who had been quiet all the way, suddenly jumped up and rushed to the door of the educated youth point with a cry of surprise.

The educated youth point was locked when I went out in the morning, but at this moment, a rope was tied to the chain door knocker, and a hat with a wide brim and a unique style was falling there, swaying in the breeze from time to time.

her hat!

Fu Jingyou made it up for her and sent it over!

Lu Miao took off her hat in surprise, like a little girl who received her favorite gift. She couldn't wait to put the hat on her head, turned her back and showed it to everyone, "Does it look good? Does it look good?" this is mine!"

Different from the hats that the members wear when working, this hat was made according to Lu Miao's requirements. The brim is much wider. Because there is no support for gravity, the brim is slightly rolled and has a slightly wavy arc. It is a proper beach lady hat.

Not only does it look good, the workmanship is much better than the previous one.

Lu Miao was happy, but also a little angry, because she was basically sure that Fu Jingyou made up the previous hat because of her!

Damn Fu Jingyou, how dare you deal with her!
Huh, she can't spare him!Next time she must punish him by knitting more hats for her!

Lu Miao thought to herself, took off her hat and looked at it carefully for a long time, and couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

Lu Miao's soul comes from later generations. What she thinks looks good may not be recognized by Geng Xiaoyun and others.
