Chapter 590 Family Meeting
People in Yangcheng nicknamed it as "a body certificate". Only non-agricultural people who hold grain funds do not have to worry about food. In contrast, rural people who do not have grain funds have a very difficult life. For a long time after that, grain funds are like "identity cards", which are a symbol of "identity".
It can be seen that the importance of grain is nicknamed "lifeline" among the people. Eating imperial grain is not just a verbal statement, and many people have paid a lot of money for it.
While getting the grain bank, Lin Xiyan's family also held the first major family meeting for the grain bank.
After dinner on Sunday night, Hua Banzhi and the others cleaned up the Eight Immortals table and sat down.
Lin Xiyan sat on the main seat of the Eight Immortals table and looked at them, and pointed to the grain books and various bills on the Eight Immortals table. "This will be our lifeline from now on. If you lose anything, you can't throw them away, otherwise you won't even have food and you won't have to wear clothes."
"Auntie!" Zhou Guangming said in a low voice, "We have saved a lot of them in our family."
"Little fool, there will be a day when you finish eating. It's not a treasure pot, it's inexhaustible." Lin Xiyan looked at him with a funny look and said.
"I know, I just want to say that my mother and uncle have foresight." Zhou Guangming looked at them with stars all over his eyes.
"Is it a foresight?" Lin Xiyan's eyes fell on Hua Banzhi's body dark and unclear.
"Look at what I do?" Hua Banzhi raised her chin and raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "I'm afraid of being hungry. I don't feel panic. I can only say that I was hit by accident." His eyes turned and looked at him, "I just admire you, my guess is so accurate!"
"The introduction of each of the above policies has its own intentions, especially those related to people's livelihood. It is actually not difficult to analyze it." Lin Xiyan said slowly.
"Why can't I see it?" Zhou Guangming said with a clear expression.
"Add to the point of obedience, read more newspapers, and the editorials above will be analyzed when you accumulate to a certain level, quantitative change causes qualitative change." Lin Xiyan looked at him and said seriously, "Look at it with your heart."
"What does quantitative change cause qualitative change?" Zhou Guangming asked.
"That..." Hua Banzhi reminded them both, "Is our family meeting still open?"
"Open it! The main thing is important." Lin Xiyan looked at her and said quickly, "Now, let's talk about the biggest one, how many kilograms of our family of three are? What about me! Thirty-four kilograms of grain a month, and one 30 kilograms of grain in Zhizhizhi. We are young, fifteen kilograms a month. Total of seventy-nine kilograms of grain."
"So much! It's enough for us to eat! I'll give you half a kilogram of food a day!" Zhou Guangming said after calculating.
"Follower, these foods are not enough for you to eat." Hua Banzhi looked at him and shook his head slightly.
"How could it be? I think I eat quite a little! I didn't eat much food." Zhou Guangming asked in confusion as he looked at her.
"That's because we have a lot of oil and water." Lin Xiyan looked at him and explained, "From the future! All the snacks in this teahouse have to be bought with food coupons. You have bought snacks, so how can you buy rice and flour? You need to have meat tickets for eating meat. There is only a little meat every month, which is not enough for us to eat dumplings!" said solemnly, "Please remember that this is the amount of one month, which means that after these tickets are spent, they will be gone. You must wait until the next month."
"Ah?" Zhou Guangming's face suddenly collapsed, "How can you live this life? It's hard to get from extravagance to frugality!"
"And there are no rice shops now. They are all state-owned grain shops. The rice is grade 3. The quality is poor, yellowed, and it is particularly broken, without the fragrance of rice." Hua Banzhi looked at him and continued to blow, holding the plate and said, "Let me see! This is the rice I bought from the grain shop."
The grain and oil supply of each household varies slightly depending on the industry, gender and age. For example, industrial workers can receive a maximum supply of 40 kilograms of rice per month, while unemployed residents generally only have 27 kilograms of rice. Responsibility will be implemented by the state for residents who have no source of livelihood.
However, most people are unwilling to increase the burden on the country to receive relief. Another trend of thinking is to receive relief to discredit the government, and at the most extreme, they will be labeled as a hat.
"This is like broken rice and scraps, and even pigs don't eat it." Lin Xiyan blurted out.
"You are not allowed to go out to say this." Hua Banzhi said seriously at Lin Xiyan, looking at Guangming and then said, "You are not allowed to go out to learn to speak."
"But my uncle is right! I feel no appetite when I look at it." Zhou Guangming curled his lips in disgust.
"You must get used to it. Who knows how long the food policy will last this time? When you are hungry, you will probably lose all your opinions." Hua Banzhi looked at their stinky faces, looking like they had no choice, "Okay! Our rice in the future will be eaten with these rice."
"There will be a day to finish it sooner or later." Zhou Guangming said unhappily, pouting.
"Don't complain, those who are not like us will be eaten from now on." Hua Banzhi reminded him.
"Oh!" Zhou Guangming nodded.
"The staple food here is rice, so the flour is rationed very little, and it is not rich and strong flour. I guess the taste is not enough." Hua Banzhi paused for a moment and said, "Everyone supplies half a pound of peanut oil every month, and the peanut oil for our family of three is only one pound and two taels of meat, which is as much as Maotai bottles, so it will take one month to eat it." His eyes fell on Lin Xiyan, "We can't put so much oil in the future when cooking."
"This is a bit difficult." Lin Xiyan scratched his head, "it would be more if you pour it into a bottle."
"Then measure it with the spoon we eat, and just one spoon when cooking." Hua Banzhi picked up the porcelain spoon she usually uses.
"Then this is almost the same as boiling in clean water." Lin Xiyan swallowed his saliva and said.
"This is a meal." Hua Banzhi looked at him and reminded again.
"Wait, no matter how many dishes you want, you can just use this spoon of oil in one meal." Lin Xiyan pointed to the porcelain spoon and said.
"Yes!" Hua Banzhi nodded heavily.
"Then we can steam it, stew it, and boil it in water. What we can no longer enjoy is braised pork, braised fish..." Zhou Guangming said with his mouth flat.
"Yes!" Hua Banzhi looked at them and said, "Adap to it as soon as possible."
"The New Year will be around soon. It won't be so miserable during the New Year!" Lin Xiyan couldn't help but say.
"Of course, some meat, oil and the like will be subsidized during the holidays." Hua Banzhi looked at them and said, "But that's also a drop in the bucket and is not enough to support us throughout the year."
Lin Xiyan kept his eyebrows and thought, "This is not possible. I can't live this life just by relying on these lives distributed by the state."
"In addition, there are tofu tickets, cloth tickets, coal ball tickets, snack tickets, match tickets, cigarette tickets..." Hua Banzhi counted with her fingers.
