On the way to the supply and marketing cooperative, Aunt Ma suddenly asked:
"Why don't you see your cousin? She usually goes out shopping."
"She said she had been working too much lately and her waist was hurting, so she asked 놖 to go out for a while."
Tie Lanyan had already thought of what to say to the outside world.
"That's right." Aunt Ma glanced at Tie Lanyan and sighed:
"I heard from your cousin that you haven't been feeling well lately. Poor kid, are you feeling better?"
Thanks to Zhang Cui, the rumor is that Yuan has gone mad, so Aunt Ma's words are an understatement.
Tie Lanyan felt a little warm in her heart and nodded with a smile: "I'm much better now. Thank you for your concern, Auntie."
Aunt Ma's expression relaxed: "That's good, do you want to go out for a walk? Let Chen Jian take you out to relax."
Chen Jian is Aunt Ma's son, only a few years older than Tie Lanyan, and is a temporary worker in a textile factory.
Tie Lanyan: "No need, Auntie, I have something else to do recently."
She was busy dealing with Zhang Cui's family and stockpiling goods to make money, so she really had no time.
Besides, if she and Chen Jian went out for a stroll alone, people would gossip if they saw them.
If it were modern times, Tie Lanyan would definitely not care about these.
But now is the 70s, and the social atmosphere is very serious, so it is better to be careful.
Aunt Ma had a look of despair on her face: "Okay, then, we'll talk about it when you have time."
The supply and marketing cooperative is not far from Tiejia, and it only takes about 40 minutes to walk there.
When she went in to buy something, Tie Lanyan was dumbfounded.
She forgot that a ticket is required for purchasing items on behalf of others.
All the tickets in the house had been used up by Zhang Cui a long time ago, and she didn't have any tickets at all.
Auntie Ma, who was standing by, learned that she didn't have a ticket and said:
"I have a few extra bills on my hand. I'll lend them to you first if you want to buy something. You can exchange them with me later."
Tie Lanyan's face lit up: "Thank you very much, Auntie."
The price here is very cheap.
Brown rice was only 0.12 yuan per pound, while polished rice and white flour were 0.2 yuan per pound, and of course both required food coupons.
Soybean oil costs 50 cents per pound, and you also need an oil coupon.
Brown sugar is also 50 cents a piece, and white sugar is 80 cents a piece, and you need a sugar ticket.
Pork is 90 cents a piece, chicken and duck meat are 1 yuan a piece, and you also need meat tickets.
Eggs also require egg tickets, 9 cents each.
Because they were all free-range eggs, the eggs were small, and 11 of them cost exactly one dollar each.
Finally, vegetables are very cheap, only 5 cents a handful.
This does not require a ticket. Farmers in the suburbs of Beijing or the countryside grow their own vegetables and walk more than ten kilometers to the supply and marketing cooperatives to exchange them, carrying baskets on their backs.
Aunt Ma has a five-city grain coupon in her hand (as shown in the picture).
There was also a one-market meat ticket, a five-market egg ticket, and a two-market candy ticket.
Tie Lanyan borrowed all the tickets.
I bought 5 grams of flour, 1 grams of pork, 5 grams of eggs, and 2 grams of sugar, spending a total of 8.5 yuan.
Because demand outstrips supply, the tickets are worth more than money.
Tie Lanyan directly gave Aunt Ma a big reunion photo.
Auntie Ma did not refuse and reminded him:
"Lan Yan, you're a bit too lavish in spending money. You need to be more careful when you start a family. You can't be like this."
Tie Lanyan didn't take it to heart and nodded perfunctorily.
She wants to gain 30kg, so she has to eat more.
Besides, money is meant to be spent, and you can earn it again after you spend it.
Before leaving, Tie Lanyan spent another dime to buy two handfuls of bean sticks.
This bean stick is really good stuff, it tastes crisp and delicious.
There are many ways to cook it, such as stewed beans with noodles, stewed beans with noodles, stewed pork ribs with rice, etc.
Paired with spicy chili sauce, it tastes amazing.
Tie Lanyan decided to make green bean glutinous rice for dinner tonight.
There are no spare ribs, but there is plenty of braised pork. It makes me happy just thinking about it!
......
After saying goodbye to Aunt Ma.
Tie Lanyan did not go home immediately, but went to the hospital.
She wanted to look for the legendary black market in Daiwenli.
The iron orchid has a big appetite and needs to be supplemented with more nutritious food.
The food we have today will be gone in three or four days. I can't borrow tickets from others.
The black market is the best place to go.
But Tie Lanyan didn't know the exact location.
She didn't feel comfortable asking Aunt Ma directly.
Before the reform and opening up, private transactions were not allowed and were considered speculation.
If you get caught, the consequences could be confiscation of property, criticism and a lecture, or even eating peanuts.
That’s why everyone avoids talking about the black market and only tries to get in secretly by finding ways to do so.
The reason why Tielanyan goes to the vicinity of hospitals is because hospitals are full of patients who are in urgent need of nutritional supplements, so there will definitely be some brave people selling nearby.
Tie Lanyan first saw this method in a modern novel.
Before the end of the world, she was also a bookworm, especially fond of modern novels.
I didn't expect it would come in handy one day, haha ヾ(≧▽≦*)o!
Tie Lanyan strolled around the Municipal People's Hospital for two laps.
After eliminating several suspicious persons, they finally located a fat man.
The fat guy was well dressed, standing under a big tree, carrying a backpack, with a pair of sneaky eyes.
Tie Lanyan walked over quietly and said in a low voice:
"Comrade, can we talk?"
This large backpack is covered with cloth and wrapped tightly. You can tell at a glance that it contains a lot of good things.
When the fat man heard this, his anxious expression immediately turned into a happy smile:
"Come on, let's go to that alley and talk!"
The two of them walked quickly, one in front and one behind, towards a hidden alley not far away.
When they got there, they said almost in unison:
"What good stuff do you have?"
"How are you?"
When these words were spoken, both parties were dumbfounded.
It turns out that they are all here to find sellers!
This is so embarrassing!
Niu Dapang: "Ahem... Big sister... We both made a mistake."
Tie Lanyan looked at the backpack behind him with some curiosity: "What are you carrying on your back?"
Fat Niu: "This is the soil that my grandma dug from the park. She insisted that this soil is better than the soil at home and she wanted to bring it back to grow vegetables.
But halfway through the journey I accidentally sprained my waist and now I am in the hospital for treatment.
She was afraid that 놖 would throw away the soil, so she asked 놖 to carry it to her every day so that she could have a look at it. "
Tie Lanyan: ...This old lady is quite troublesome.
A basket of soil on his back is more important than his grandson, and he is not afraid of breaking his grandson's back again.
Tie Lanyan was a little speechless: "I thought pretending was something good...it's wrapped so tightly."
"I'm not afraid of being seen as a joke." Fatty Niu touched the back of his head embarrassedly and said:
"In fact, I was just waiting for a friend to introduce me to Daoye, so I was going to buy some beef bones from him to nourish my body.
I didn’t expect to bump into you... I’m sorry...”
When Tie Lanyan heard this, her lifeless eyes immediately brightened up.
"It's okay, bro. It was just an accident!
"I see you and I are very compatible. Let's be friends. Can you recommend that guy to me?"
Niu Dapang's mouth twitched:...
Wow, man, you change your expression so quickly.
I'm afraid making friends is fake, and wanting to know that person through 놛 is real.
But I don't object at all, I'm actually quite happy to object.
This older sister is a sly sly girl, quite to my taste, it would be nice to make friends with her!
