Chapter 196 Buying Meat
Aunt Ma approached and exclaimed: "Comrade Xu Feng, there is no fat? Is there any roe?"
"No, no, now the supply has been greatly reduced. Only lean meat and bones are available. Meat is based on tickets, and bones are not available. But like pork liver, it is a nutritious meal and can only be purchased with a certificate issued by a doctor." There were several meat-selling staff behind the meat case, but the answer was a middle-aged man with a big shoulder and a round waist. He looked like a good way to kill pigs and cows.
"Why are your hands so fast? Don't leave us some fat! Lean meat can't be fried with oil!" Aunt Ma complained angrily, and then handed the meat bills and banknotes forward, "Comrade Xu Feng, cut me a liang of lean meat."
Xu Feng cut off a small piece of meat neatly.
Put on the scale and weigh it one or two.
Aunt Ma felt like she had a treasure, so she carefully put it into the bamboo basket and said to Li Xiuhong: "Comrade Li Xiuhong, do you want me to wait for you to go back together? Anyway, there is no good meat, so you can buy some meat tickets and wait until you have fat next time."
Li Xiuhong smiled and said, "Please please, I have to buy coal balls later."
Aunt Ma left first after hearing this.
Compared to her, Li Xiuhong seemed particularly generous when buying meat: "Please cut six taels of meat for me."
Xu Feng looked up at Li Xiuhong, "New? I haven't seen you before."
"Yes, I moved here only last month." Li Xiuhong said.
"There is only one newly moved to Wutong Street, the villa No. 18, I guess it is yours."
After Xu Feng said this, his fingers passed through several pieces of lean meat one by one, and finally stopped at a piece of pork front leg meat, cut out a piece of meat that was as big as a fist, with a little skin and fat. The scale rod was raised high in front of Li Xiuhong but was quickly pressed by him, "Seventy cents and sixty cents, seventy cents and sixty cents, fourty cents and sixty cents."
"Thank you." Li Xiuhong paid the money and the ticket.
After buying the meat, she turned around and squeezed into the candy store. The people in the grain and oil store used up the sugar tickets and oil tickets. They bought half a pound of sugar for 40 cents and 60 cents and beat a pound of peanut oil. It’s a pity that she has egg tickets but there is no egg supply in the store, which is useless!
She doesn't know if there are any other stores.
Because, the voucher items are purchased from designated stores.
Li Xiuhong regretfully took back the egg ticket, then bought soap, laundry detergent, labor protection gloves and some daily necessities that did not have a certificate or a ticket, and finally bought coal briquettes.
Citizens buy coal balls on a quarterly basis, and most of them bought them last month, so there are not many people.
A load of coal balls is two pieces and four pieces, and a full hundred kilograms.
Li Xingxing thought Li Xiuhong’s salary was low, but Li Xiuhong only spent five yuan to buy everything.
The food rations for the mother and the mother are just over five yuan.
The two are added together for a total of ten yuan.
Therefore, when Li Xingxing does not buy high-priced goods and does not eat high-priced food, her monthly salary is enough for the mother and her living expenses, and it is more than enough.
To be honest, they really have nothing to lack.
Because she planned to go back to Dalizi Village today and Li Xingxing was not at home for dinner, she was not busy buying vegetables home.
Li Xingxing had already gone to school and replied to Li Xiuhong with a note.
Next to the note, there were two baskets containing the things prepared by Li Xingxing, including two kilograms of brown sugar, two bottles of canned food, a bag of candies, an egg, two pieces of old bacon, two kilograms of wheat paste, ten handfuls of noodles, twenty kilograms of flour, twenty kilograms of rice, and a bag of gyros she prepared for the children. Everyone has a share.
Li Xingxing brought it back last night, but Li Xiuhong didn't know where she got these precious materials.
She always has some ways that others can't find.
The black market price is high, so she probably spent a lot of money again.
Li Xiuhong sighed softly. The salary of 20 or 30 a month is indeed a little less than that of her daughter's big hands. Fortunately, there are 20 yuan for Chen Nianen and 60 yuan for Chen Goudan.
Chen Goudan hasn't sent food coupons for several months, I don't know if it's going to happen this month.
Having no time to think about it, Li Xiuhong gave herself a bowl of vegetable noodles, and after eating, she hurried to Dalizi Village.
