Chapter 178 One month's supply

He quickly ran to the grain warehouse window and Li Xingxing explained his new arrival. Someone behind the window said, "It's really troublesome. Isn't flour four kilograms? Just give me two kilograms of sticks in your hand, the kind with only two kilograms."

"Yes!" You can tell which food ration belongs to by counting the number of different bamboo sticks.

Li Xingxing handed it on, and the staff asked her to collect flour at the entrance of the slide.

As soon as the mouth of the cloth bag was opened and facing it, a few kilograms of flour flowed out along the slide and into the cloth bag.

Not very white, a little gray.

But Li Xingxing knew that this was normal flour. Sixty years later, snow-like flour was refined, and some even added edible additives to whiten. Her family has a grain and oil shop, and she knew the ways of the flour mill very well.

After getting the flour, Li Xingxing made the same preparation and received corn flour, rice and dried sweet potato noodles in turn.

The dried sweet potato noodles are darker, the corn flour is a bit thicker, and the rice is actually brown rice.

At the same time, she remembered the category of signatures, so she would not have to ask the staff who sent the food next time.

I am so tired after carrying more than fifty kilograms of food!

Li Xingxing stepped out of the grain store with the door frame, quickly hung the basket on the back seat of the bicycle, and said to Mrs. Liu, who had come out earlier but did not leave: "Grandma Liu, hang your basket on the handlebars and I'll take you home."

It's exactly what Grandma Liu means.

She refused, "How embarrassed is this?"

"It's nothing. Anyway, we'll be on the way, so I have to send the food home." Li Xingxing took the basket and hung it on the handlebars, and asked Grandma Liu to sit in the back seat, "I'm riding a bicycle, it's very fast."

It hurts to walk with dozens of kilograms of food on his back!

Li Xingxing felt his scalp numb whenever he thought of the photos of his little feet he saw online. Men in feudal society were so bad that they harmed countless women for their deformed aesthetics.

When a woman was a child, she broke her toes and wrapped them under the soles of her feet!

He sent Grandma Liu to her doorstep. Grandma Liu opened the door and invited her in for tea, "I have something to ask for."

Li Xingxing pushed the car into the yard, parked the car, and followed up with three brick and tile houses, "What's the matter?"

She had a little guess in her heart.

Grandma Liu whispered: "If you have a way, can you exchange me some fine grain? Just calculate it at the black price. I see that the situation this year is very serious, and I want to save some grain for myself so that I can avoid being hungry."

Li Xingxing said, "You ask me to think of a solution. My friend doesn't want money, he only collects jewelry and old items."

"I have it!" said Grandma Liu. "When moving, except for some large furniture with poor materials that cannot be moved, they can be sold directly to the Zhu family. I asked people to move the rest of the things I could move. They were purchased by the dead old man in the early years. There were also some jade agate diamonds that could not be sold for money or exchanged. Neighbors, who had these things in their hands."

Anyway, she would not live until the jewelry is in the light of day, so she might as well change the food for herself to eat.

Li Xingxing smiled and said, "Then wait for my news. If there is any news, I will come to you."

"Thank you, thank you." Old Mrs. Liu burst into tears of gratitude.

Li Xingxing waved his hand and said goodbye to go home. He first put the food bag into the kitchen, and then returned to the bedroom to pour out the ticket in the envelope.

Two meat tickets with a denomination of 150 grams, two oil tickets with a half pound, one sugar ticket, one egg ticket, three tofu tickets, one hundred pound coal ball tickets, one piece of soap tickets and twenty bath tickets, plus some daily necessities without tickets, are all the supplies that the mother and daughter can buy in a month according to regulations.

What is this little thing enough? Six taels of meat are not enough for Li Xingxing to stuff his teeth alone.

Sure enough, I still have to take things from the supermarket to subsidize my life.
