Chapter 37 Sky-high Price Supplies
at the same time.

After Su Xiaoxiao left Dam Village, she followed her memory to a nearby town two miles away.

The town is called Hongyang Town.

The town is not big in area, and it looks just a little better than the village. There are several streets running across it. There are very simple shops on both sides of the streets. Outside each shop, there are a lot of sundries piled up, and it looks like they want to take advantage of it. Use every available inch.

The streets seemed very narrow and unmanaged, with garbage thrown everywhere.

Su Xiaoxiao remembered that in this market town, there were fixed market times. Evening days were market days, and there were no people on odd days.

Today happens to be a double day, and double days are always very busy in the past.

But in recent months, fewer and fewer people have come to the market.

There were no shops open in the market town, only a butcher shop and a rice and grain store were open.

It seemed that in order to prevent vandalism and looting, there were several police officers standing outside the two stores.

There are also the most people in front of these two stores.

The current prices in the town have skyrocketed, and ordinary people cannot afford them.

Plus, with the police around, no one dares to cause trouble here.

People in the surrounding villages can only go to the mountains or wastelands to find food by themselves.

The people standing in front of the store now are basically from towns and cities and have some wealth to begin with.

All of them were wearing white shirts and floral skirts, and they looked decent.

But if you look carefully, those clothes are covered with various stains and wrinkles. They must have not been cleaned for a long time.

The expressions of those people were also very depressed, their faces were haggard and irritable, and their eyes were all scarlet.

They stood in line at the door of the store, with their hands in their pockets, looking around with wary and bored expressions, and then inside the store, as if wondering when it would be their turn.

Su Xiaoxiao walked to the side and glanced at the door of the store.

There is a paper sign hanging at the door, handwritten, with a few typos.

Su Xiaoxiao went through it carefully before spelling out what the store said.

Pork: 15 per pound plus two pounds of meat coupons.

Beef: 30 per pound plus two pounds of meat coupons. mutton:……

There are many types of meat.

But the price...

Su Xiaoxiao's eyelids jumped fiercely when she saw the price.

Not only is it expensive, but even the meat coupons cost two kilograms to exchange for one kilogram.

Is this... really a robbery?
Su Xiaoxiao pinched her flesh and blood. She originally thought that she had killed Xu Shen severely.

But now it seems that her meat votes are not enough.

Su Xiaoxiao stretched her neck and looked inside the store.

Several pieces of meat were placed on the meat table.

I don’t know how long it has been there, but the amount of each piece of meat is not large. The meat is still dark brown, and the tender red color is gone.

There was also a pungent odor.

I don’t know where this meat came from, or how long it had been there, and it has become rotten and smelly.

In modern times, no one would want this kind of meat if it were thrown on the road.

However, this kind of meat can still be sold at such a high price here, and there are still people willing to snatch it.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at the people in line, as if they couldn't smell the smell of the meat at all. They all looked at the meat with eager eyes, and their eyes almost turned green.

If only in a few months...

Su Xiaoxiao's heart trembled, and she quietly left here and went to the rice noodle shop.

The prices at rice noodle shops are also very outrageous.

One pound of rice requires one pound of food stamps, which costs 20 yuan.

You must know that this was the 70s, and even the public officials in the town only received a salary of twenty or thirty yuan a month.

This pound of rice costs one month's salary.
