happy daughter-in-law

Chapter 100

This year's Chinese New Year is relatively early, and in mid-January, Shen Yunfang began to prepare for travel.

In this day and age, if you want to go out, there are a few things that are necessary, one is a letter of introduction.This is equivalent to a person's identity certificate. It can be said that you have to read the letter of introduction wherever you go, and you have to read the letter of introduction when you go to a hotel by car or boat. If you don't have a letter of introduction, I'm sorry, you can only sleep on the street, so That letter of introduction is very important.

Shen Yunfang is not worried about this, because her uncle is the production team leader, and for her, this is easy to get.

The other is food stamps.This era is a planned economy, and food is distributed uniformly by the state, so no matter where you eat, you will be supplied with food stamps. If you don’t have food stamps, no one will sell you food even if you have a lot of money.So you must prepare some food stamps when you go out.

This Shen Yunfang also inquired in advance that farmers can also have food stamps, as long as they take their family's grain to the grain station in the county to exchange it.It's just that this change is not random, and the production team still needs to issue a certificate, proving that you are indeed going to another place, and then they will exchange national food stamps for you, otherwise they will only give you provincial food stamps.

What's more, this proof is not enough to be just a badge of a small production team, it must be issued by the commune.In this way, Uncle Shen can only help her go to the commune to stamp it.

Another thing is that the grain station does not exchange all grains for food stamps. It only accepts grains such as rice or corn, and does not exchange grains such as sweet potatoes.

On this day, taking advantage of the fine weather outside, Shen Yunfang deliberately went to Uncle Yougen's house to ask Uncle Yougen to help him take a ride and take her to the county to exchange for food stamps.

Because he had already greeted Uncle Shen, Shen Yougen readily agreed.

You must know that the carriage at this time is the property of the state, not Shen Yougen's private property, so at this time, the members of the commune have to ask the production team leader to agree to use the carriage.

In this way, Shen Yunfang and Jianjun's wife carried [-] catties of corn and [-] catties of soybeans each, and carried a thick quilt from home, and set off from Gaijiatun in a wobble.Dashuan's daughter-in-law has a big belly and can't go out.

It's better to go to the brigade first. These days, she and the villagers exchanged some soybeans in private. Taking advantage of the fact that there are no villagers with her today, she hurried to the brigade to squeeze some more oil.Forty catties of soybean oil is really not enough!

Jianjun's daughter-in-law huddled under the thick quilt and chatted with Shen Yunfang.

"Are you changing those old soybeans to extract oil again? What a prodigal." Jianjun's daughter-in-law knew that Shen Yunfang had money, but she still didn't agree with Shen Yunfang's extravagance.

"I don't think this is a prodigal. You can call it a prodigal if you eat it all in your stomach." Shen Yunfang was unconvinced. She has restrained and restrained, kept a low profile and kept a low profile. After she squeezed forty catties of soybean oil after autumn , she kept squinting silently, this time it was a special car pick-up, so she thought about squeezing some more oil, no one would see and save a bunch of old women from being jealous.

"It's not a prodigal. One hundred catties of soybeans can produce less than half of the soybean oil, and more than half is wasted. We old farmers are not used to eating soybean oil." She is used to the beany smell of soybean oil. She has never eaten soybean oil a few times in her entire life. She always buys a piece of fatty meat and refines it at home.

"Hey, I'm used to eating it. I don't dislike the beany smell of soybean oil." Shen Yunfang said with a playful smile, "Eating meat oil all the time is not good for your health."

"Nonsense, we've been eating meat and oil all our lives, and we don't care about anyone's bad behavior. It's a pretense." Jianjun's daughter-in-law glared at her.

Shen Yunfang thinks about it too, people nowadays who can eat a catty of meat oil a year are considered good people, so even if they want to be in poor health. "Actually, it's not a waste. Although the oil output is less than half, don't you still get back those old bean cakes in the end? Let me tell you, this bean cake is also a good thing. It's good to feed pigs as feed, even people can eat it." can eat."

She remembered that her father baked bean cakes for her when she was a child. They were crispy and delicious, and the more they chewed, the more fragrant they became.Of course, it is only eaten occasionally, not as a meal.

Jianjun's daughter-in-law didn't take it seriously, "You give pigs everything that people eat. It's not about spoiling things. You, you just have two dollars in your hand and don't know what to do."

Shen Yunfang was not angry, but nodded in agreement, "Well, you are really right, I am rich and willful."

The two hid in the thick quilt and joked with each other, and they were not lonely along the way.

First, I went to the five-star brigade, carried the soybeans to the oil mill, paid one yuan in advance, put down the plastic oil barrel, and agreed to come to pick them up in the afternoon, and Shen Yunfang took the carriage again and went straight to the county grain station.

Shen Yougen knew where the ration station was, because every year the team handed over the task rations, he drove the carriage here to pay the rations, and he came here every year, so the door was clear.

When I arrived at the entrance of the two stations, I showed the letter of introduction to the uncle at the door. The uncle only read the three characters in the letter of introduction and let him go. I guess he knew these three characters.

It's easier to find it when you get inside. There is a special room for exchanging food stamps.

It didn't take much effort, Shen Yunfang arrived in the room, and showed her letter of introduction to the staff. After checking the letter of introduction, the staff asked blankly, "How much?"

Shen Yunfang hurriedly said: "Fifty catties." She was still reluctant to exchange for more food stamps for the food she had grown so hard. Subconsciously, she felt that the food stamps were not very useful, so she exchanged as much as she could for this trip. If you save too much of this thing, it will be waste paper in the 80s, so it is better to use it now and replace it.

Also, exchanging food stamps is not a one-to-one exchange, but a pair of zero.[-], that is, one catty of grain can be exchanged for nine taels of food stamps.

The staff pointed to a floor scale in the house and signaled Shen Yunfang to put the grain bag on the scale for weighing.

Shen Yunfang obediently put the bag on her back on the scale.

The staff came over and dialed the scale a few times. The tall one was 55 catties. Some of them turned the weight back, and it was only [-] catties before it was leveled.

The staff looked at Shen Yunfang, nodded with satisfaction, pulled open the mouth of the sack, grabbed some corn kernels from the inside to have a look, then threw them back, and then invoiced Shen Yunfang at the desk, and then counted the food stamps.

Of course she was satisfied. When Shen Yunfang weighed the grain at that time, she weighed 53 catties. The sacks weighed the same two catties, and the staff knew the same thing. She said that in exchange for [-] catties of food stamps, the extra grain would of course be work. staff.

Because he knew it was good to get it, the staff member finally had a smile on his face, and asked Shen Yunfang how much the 45 catties of food stamps should be exchanged for.

At this time, there are many kinds of denominations of food stamps, ranging from one tael, two taels, half a catty, one catty, three catties, and five catties.

Shen Yunfang thought that she was going out to eat in a restaurant, so she didn't ask for too much face value. I asked for two tickets for five catties, twenty tickets for one catty, twenty tickets for half a catty, and then two and one two. ten.

It may be because of the benefits, so things are done quickly. Counting from the time Shen Yunfang carried the grain into the grain station, it took only half an hour before she changed the ticket and walked out of the grain station.

After driving for a whole morning, and Uncle Qiu Yougen took the car, so I couldn't let people go hungry. After traveling for a year, Shen Yunfang took the two of them to the restaurant for the first time.
