Brother Hao, the donkey, slowly ate the donkey meat in his lunch box: "A suffering man who goes down to mine, still expects the mine to provide him with free beef and potatoes to eat? Do you think it is possible?"

Hearing what Brother Hao said,

Everyone present was numb: "Well, how much does this meal cost?"

Brother Hao glared at him: "I'm not a food seller. If you ask me, who should I ask?"

"Gudong——"

It was extremely difficult for Jian Teng to swallow the piece of beef in his mouth. Now he felt that it didn't taste good at all.

"Brother Hao, how much is your portion of donkey meat?"

Jian Teng asked: "And those two steamed buns with mixed noodles, how much do they sell for in this canteen?"

Brother Hao sighed: "The prices in the northwest are expensive. A meal like mine only costs eighty cents!"

Behind the mountain in the cafeteria, among the cooks who were responsible for preparing meals, someone spoke at this time: "Brother Hao, your steamed buns come in twos each, and one steamed bun costs 2 cents and 4 cents."

Stir-fried donkey meat with dried chili pepper, one portion is 1 yuan and 5 cents. The total is only 1 yuan and 98 cents. If you give me two yuan, I will have to ask you for 2 cents.

Forget it, you don’t care about those 2 cents, Brother Hao. If you leave it to me, just think of it as money to turn on the water."

In a restaurant outside.

If the food stamps are also converted into money for a 2-liang steamed bun, a 2-liang white-flour steamed bun will cost roughly 8 cents.

In the canteen of this coal mine, there are steamed buns mixed with half of the whole grains.

It is actually three times more expensive than the pure white steamed buns sold outside!

only,

Since coal mines are often opened in remote areas far away from human habitation, the cost of doing anything is very high.

The price of anything in the mining area is double that of other places, which is actually not too much.

But in the Doujiapan Coal Mine Canteen, these steamed buns mixed with half mixed noodles sell for 2.4 cents each.

This price is indeed a bit outrageous.

When he heard the price quoted by the cook, Brother Hao was stunned: "Er Mazi, didn't a portion of donkey meat used to cost 1 yuan and 1.5 cents?"

"It's still selling for 1 yuan and 15 cents now."

The cook smiled and said: "Brother Hao, who are you? What I feed you is high-quality donkey meat."

"Ni Ma!"

Brother Hao muttered: "Momppi! Now in the mine, even I have been killed?"

Just a portion of donkey meat costs 1.5 yuan?

That roasted beef with potatoes, the price is astronomical?!

Jian Teng was now so frightened that he almost collapsed, "Master, how much does a meal like this cost me?"

The man smiled and said: "You can eat with peace of mind. Money is just a piece of paper. Money comes and goes, so don't worry about it."

Jian Teng didn't dare to be so open-minded, so he asked: "Master, I beg you, tell me how much my meal will cost?"

The man lit a cigarette leisurely.

As the smoke slowly exhaled, a sentence floated towards Jian Teng: "Not much. A portion of fine donkey meat costs 1.5 yuan, and half a catty of rice costs 5 cents."

A portion of braised beef with potatoes costs 2 yuan! Just now, I gave you a big portion."

A meal actually cost 4 yuan?!

"Gudong——"

"Bang——"

"Dingling bells and sugarcane——"

For a time, people in the dining hall were on their feet!

Many angry and impatient people fell down because of their extremely prodigal behavior.

4 yuan.

In the rural areas of the production team in the Bashu region, many farmers only have 1 or 2 yuan of pocket money a month!

The whole family wanted to break a penny in half and spend it, and they had to repeatedly calculate: buying salt this month will cost 1 cents and 2 cents.

The monthly payment for kerosene is estimated to be 1.5 cents.

Yue Niang's head often hurts this month, so buying her "headache powder" may cost another 9 cents.

The eldest son goes to school,

The pencil was sharpened until it was only as long as a finger. It would cost another 7 cents to buy him a new pencil.

It has to be the kind without an eraser.

Otherwise, the price will be 1 cent more per piece.

The members of the production team just count their lives minute by minute on their fingers.

Nowadays, these people are far away from home and dreaming of working hard, which is equivalent to working hard, even their lives.

People who plan to make some money to support their families actually end up spending 4 yuan on just one meal?!

"Pah, pah, pah—"

"Uuuuuu——"

There was chaos in the dining room: there was a man with straight eyes, looking at the beef and donkey meat in his bowl, and tears streaming down his face uncontrollably into his lunch box.

There are also people who slap themselves in remorse and try to punish themselves physically in order to alleviate their inner guilt.

There were also middle-aged men squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands, crying loudly!

The saliva in his mouth, along with the remains of food that he had not finished chewing, was mixed with snot, and tears flowed into a pool on the ground.

Among the twenty or so men.

Everyone is venting their guilt and regret in the dining room in what they think is the best way to relieve their anger.

throughout the area.

The only people who can still remain calm at this time are Brother Hao and Luo Xuan.

In fact, Luo Xuan himself does not want to behave differently.

But the problem is: I really can’t cry! I can’t even pretend to be sad.

There's no way around it.

Brother Hao glanced at Luo Xuan and couldn't help but became curious: "Little brother, your family is rich?"

Luo Xuan shook his head.

"Don't you feel bad after eating 4 yuan for a meal?" Brother Hao asked: "Or are you just a bastard and not afraid of debt?"

While Luo Xuan was choosing beef to eat, he still shook his head: "I can eat enough for myself and the whole family is not hungry.

It doesn’t matter what other people say, it doesn’t matter whether they are doing it for my own good or not.

Anyway, I only believe that what you eat into your stomach belongs to you."

"hey-hey--"

Luo Xuan added: "Besides, I don't love money."

"Have the guts."

Brother Hao raised his hand and gave Luo Xuan a thumbs up.
