“Everyone in the third house wears a Zi Fu, while your two cousins in the second house only wear ordinary ornaments.
The rest of the people, your grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, cousin's wife, nephew, and all your cousins are wearing mother amulets."
As expected, it was just as Shen Qingli thought. Everyone in the third room was wearing a talisman that absorbed bad luck.
However, why are the two cousins wearing only ordinary ornaments?
Is it because they are girls that they are not worthy of extradition tokens?
And the reason they used the extradition talisman on themselves was because they wanted to catch the third branch in one fell swoop?
Shen Qingli didn't expect that her guess was almost the same as the fact!
"It's a pity that you didn't go to the commune hospital with me last time. Otherwise, we would have been able to confirm now whether the second wife was wearing a son or mother amulet, or if it was just an ordinary decoration like the two cousins."
"Let's go to the commune tomorrow!" 98K raised his little head and looked at Shen Qingli, his black eyes sparkling.
"You want a snack, don't you?" Shen Qingli flicked 98K's nose in a funny way.
"Don't you want to figure it out as soon as possible?" 98K nudged Shen Qingli's arm flatteringly, "Go! Go!"
"Okay!" The way this little guy tried so hard to please her was so cute that Shen Qingli finally agreed out of kindness.
It would be a good opportunity to find out what the second wife is wearing as soon as possible so that I can make my next plan.
After breakfast the next day, Shen Qingli left Xiaorongshu Village.
While having breakfast today, Old Man Shen stared at Shen Qingli's neck for a long time. It was not until Shen Qingli deliberately revealed the red rope around her neck that Old Man Shen finally started to eat with peace of mind.
This red rope is not the red rope for the extradition talisman. How could Shen Qingli be so stupid as to wear it when she knew it was harmful to herself?
This red lanyard was the one from the jewelry that Shi Yunyi bought for himself. It had become a little dark after being worn for a long time, so it was just right to use it to fool Old Man Shen.
Shen Qingli walked for twenty minutes holding her 98K before she came across a mule cart. She paid two cents to the old man driving the mule cart to take her to the commune.
If it weren't for the pedestrians rushing on the road from time to time, Shen Qingli actually wanted to ride in the enlarged 98K to travel.
That speed is absolutely amazing!
When they arrived near the food factory, Shen Qingli put down the 98K in her arms and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Shen Qingli arrived not too late, the pork at the side of the food stall had not been sold out yet.
Although there is only some lean meat left, it is better than nothing.
The most precious thing for people in this era is big fat meat, which can be refined into oil and fried. One bite will make your mouth full of oil!
"Hello, comrade. Please buy me two pounds of pork." Shen Qingli said to the salesperson with a smile.
"I'm sorry, comrade. This batch of pork is specially supplied, so the purchase is limited. Each person can only buy one kilogram at most!" The salesperson was a young man who looked very shy. He said to Shen Qingli with red ears.
No wonder there is still pork left at this time, it turns out it’s because of the purchase limit.
Shen Qingli originally wanted to buy more so that she could eat more meat, but now she has to give up this plan.
"Then give me a pound!"
"Comrade, we only have lean meat left now. The price of lean meat is the same as fatty meat, 78 cents per pound. Are you sure you want to buy it?" Because many people don't like to eat lean meat and dislike it being dry, the salesperson asked an extra question.
"It doesn't matter, at least it's meat!" Compared to fat meat, Shen Qingli actually prefers lean meat.
After all, she was not born and raised in this era, and she really couldn't like the greasy fat meat, it was too disgusting!
"Okay!" The salesperson picked up the meat-cutting knife, cut the meat deftly, and placed it on the tray scale to weigh it.
I didn't expect the salesperson to be so accurate, the price was exactly one pound, not even one ounce off.
"Comrade, do you want two more big bone sticks?" the salesperson asked, pointing to the two smooth, bare bone sticks. "Even though there's not much meat on them, they're great for making soup!"
"Okay, weigh it for me!" Although Shen Qingli disliked the fact that there was not much meat left on the big bone stick after it was scraped off and it could not be used to make braised big bones, it would be nice to stew it in soup, at least there would be some meaty taste.
"Comrade, this big bone stick is fifty cents a pound. No meat coupons required." The salesperson placed the big bone stick on the scale, added a weight, and fiddled with the weight on the scale bar. "Five pounds and six ounces."
"Okay! Help me pack it!" Shen Qingli nodded, took off the backpack behind her and handed it to the salesperson.
"Okay! The total is three dollars and fifty-eight cents and a pound of meat ticket." The salesperson said to Shen Qingli while helping her pack the meat and large bone sticks.
Shen Qingli took out some money from her shoulder bag.
In fact, it was taken out from the ring space, and the shoulder bag was just used to cover it up.
After all, her space is not safe anywhere!
He counted out three dollars and fifty-eight cents and handed it to the salesperson.
He then took out two meat coupons with the words "Shangdu City Non-staple Food Commercial Bureau - Subsidized Meat Coupon" and "Half a Catty" written on them and handed them to the salesperson.
The tickets in Shen Qingli's hand were all bought from someone on the black market a while ago.
Since we have the conditions, we naturally cannot treat ourselves badly.
Unfortunately, we haven’t divided up the family yet, so it’s not convenient to take some things back openly. I can only let my parents and brothers take care of them for the time being.
After buying the meat, Shen Qingli went around again and bought some egg cakes to save for her parents and brothers as a snack.
Thinking about my father, mother and elder brother who worked in the fields all day, I bought each of them a pair of Liberation shoes.
"Comrade, do you need work gloves?"
The saleswoman took out a stack of white work gloves from under the counter and asked Shen Qingli.
"These gloves were originally intended for the factory, but because they misreported the quantity, the excess was sent to our supply and marketing cooperative. They are of excellent quality and very sturdy!"
"How much are these gloves?" Shen Qingli picked up the work gloves, looked at them and asked.
The salesman held up a finger and said, "Two pairs for fifty cents. If you buy ten pairs, I'll give you an industrial coupon."
Working in the fields, chopping wood, and collecting firewood all wear out your hands, so I bought a few more pairs of gloves, just enough for my dad, mom, and brothers to each have a pair, and the rest will be kept as spares.
"Okay, install it for me!" Shen Qingli counted out 5 yuan and an industrial voucher and handed them to the salesperson.
Shen Qingli, who was about to leave after buying something, suddenly saw a red rope on the counter that no one was interested in.
"Comrade, how much is this red rope?" Shen Qingli walked over and asked.
The dazed salesperson ignored her and didn't even look at Shen Qingli.
"Comrade, how much is this red rope?" Shen Qingli was not angry, but asked again patiently.
After all, salesperson was a very popular profession in that era, so they developed this arrogant temperament and thought everyone else was a country bumpkin.
Unexpectedly, the salesperson gave Shen Qingli a cold look and continued to stare blankly.
Hey!
I'm giving you face, right?
Shen Qingli's temper immediately flared up!
