Zhou Wu didn't care much about his brother's reaction, but instead spoke vividly.

Slug also felt longing after hearing this.

Zhou Wu: "After drinking half a can of soybean oil, I didn't taste any fishy smell of crab at all... Anyway, it was delicious. But my aunt said that this amount of crab oil is only enough for a few meals. We are out of soybean oil at home, so I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some."

"The supply and marketing cooperative is out of soybean oil."

"How do you know?"

"My mother said that yesterday, and she also said that soybean oil is hard to buy now."

Zhou Wu immediately said to Zhou Jun in front of him: "Brother! The supply and marketing cooperative is out of soybean oil, and Auntie will definitely not be home at noon! Let's go to the cafeteria!"

Zhou Jun paused, handed Xiao Yong to Zhou Wen, and said, "You guys go to the cafeteria to get food first, I'll go home and check."

Zhou Wen nodded, agreeing.

I really had lunch in the cafeteria.

Zhou Wu sipped the clear soup twice, feeling a little scared.

Slug: "What's wrong, Wu? You don't want to eat? If you don't want to eat, give it to me!"

Zhou Wu quickly used his hand to block it, "You're kidding, who doesn't want to eat? I'll eat it!"

After finishing the meal, Zhou Wu sighed, "Auntie is still willing to add oil and sugar."

"Your stepmother puts sugar in her cooking?"

"Yes, the fruit candies melted in the porridge, and it tasted sweet. Auntie also gave each of us a bowl of maltose every night, saying it would nourish our bodies."

Slug: "Ah, then your stepmother is better than my real mother."

Snotlout was crying, "The last time I took maltose was last month, and we've run out of it at home. My mom said there's a famine back home, so we have to save money and send it back. We don't have money to buy maltose anymore."

"Ah... my aunt's grandfather from her family is very powerful, so we eat good food too. I will definitely be nice to my aunt and her grandfather in the future!" Zhou Wu said forcefully.

In the city, in the mall.

Qiao Yu went on a shopping spree again. He saw that there was still cotton. He bought without hesitation.

There were only three pounds of soybean oil in the market, and she bought all of it. Seeing that there was nothing else, she thought of going to the black market.

She asked a stranger who was friendly and easy to talk to, "Auntie, my child is very hungry. I want to ask you if there is a place nearby where I can exchange things, no matter how expensive the things are..."

Upon hearing this, I understood what Qiao Yu was thinking.

The whole country did not openly crack down on the black market. After all, it was a famine year and ordinary people had to survive.

The old lady showed Qiao Yu a way.

There was a person guarding the dark alley. When he saw her approaching in a hunched posture, he simply asked, "Are you buying or selling?"

"Buy."

"Sanmao."

"..." Are the tickets so expensive? They are stealing money! They are definitely stealing money!

Qiao Yu still paid the money honestly.

She was just doing it in her own territory. In a place like this with local tyrants, it's better to be low-key, follow other people's rules and avoid trouble.

There is nothing good on the black market either, all of it is dried seafood and some defective products that cannot be eaten. No receipts are required and the prices are not much higher than in the mall.

Who is Qiao Yu? A money-worshipping little guy.

She just couldn't stop spending money, always thinking that these things were useful. Even if they weren't, it was still 20 years before the 1980s, and by then the children would have grown up, so she would have to buy these things, right?

At that time, there was no shortage of food, so you definitely needed tickets to buy things! Even defective products required connections! It would be better to have them ready now.

Two thermoses in the handles, enamel pots hanging on both sides of the backpack, soap, sandals, and cloth...

Whatever you want.

Finally, she saw Fu Qiang Fan.

I am crying with joy.

I've been wearing this for so long, and this is the first time I've seen a rich and powerful fan!

Just as Qiao Yu was about to speak, the other party raised his hand and said, "Exchange it with meat."

There are only about five pounds of Fuqiang flour, and you need to exchange it for two pounds of meat. It doesn't matter what kind of meat it is, as long as there is meat.

According to the prices before the famine, flour cost 0.30 yuan per pound, and 5 pounds cost 1.5 yuan. Meat cost 0.80 yuan per pound, and 2 pounds cost 1.6 yuan. The exchange rate of Fuqiang flour and meat during the famine was also similar.

I did suffer a bit of a loss, but he is a Fuqiang fan!

Although it was not as white as those in later generations, it was so delicate that Qiao Yu was as excited as if he had been hungry for many years and finally saw meat. He was so impulsive that he forgot to think.

A lot of meat was copied in the space, so I exchanged it for rabbit meat.

Qiao Yu took out a skinned rabbit from the basket on his back and weighed it with a smile. This hare weighed several kilograms.

"What a coincidence, Master! I just caught it today. It's still fresh, so I wanted to exchange it for some food. I didn't expect to run into you here."

The master weighed it, hesitated for a moment, and scooped another pound of coarse grain for Qiao Yu, "I won't take advantage of you."

Qiao Yu didn't ask the other party why he wanted to exchange meat, and the other party didn't specifically ask Qiao Yu where the rabbit meat came from. After the transaction, they went their separate ways.

After putting the things in the space, she ran as fast as she could, fearing that the people from the black market would catch up with her.

The enamel basins hanging on both sides of the backpack made a clanging sound, attracting the attention of passers-by.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Qiao Yu finally found a secluded place and put all his things into the space.

I took out the cabbage from the black box and put in five pounds of Fuqiang flour. I found there was no more room...

She also made way for a pound of coarse grains in the black box with the rice flour.

You won’t have to worry about staple food and meat from now on.

Qiao Yu went to the state-owned hotel again.

It was afternoon and no one was in the state-owned hotel.

The receptionist glanced at Qiao Yu lazily and said, "It's past time. We can't entertain anyone."

Qiao Yu opened the backpack, revealing two freshly skinned rabbits. "I gave the money and food coupons, and the master can do what he wants with these two rabbits. They are freshly caught, and half of the rabbit meat is the master's reward for his hard work."

The receptionist was stunned when he saw two pieces of rabbit meat.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!

"Wait!"

After a while, the receptionist greeted her with a smile: "What do you want to eat? Is there anything you cannot eat?"

"I don't have any dietary restrictions. I want to eat something spicy."

"Okay. I'll let the master do it for you."

"Thank you, sis."

She paid the check and sat down.

After a while, the double pepper diced rabbit was out of the pot. The portion was enough for one person, but she put half in an aluminum lunch box and ate the other half on the spot.

When he met the front desk's gaze, Qiao Yu explained, "I want to give it back to the children to try."

...That's strange.

It is to eat alone.

The black box has to be given to this double-pepper rabbit.

The receptionist sighed: "You look quite young, but I didn't expect you already have a child. How old is the child?"

Not only do they have children, but they have five, and the oldest is eight years younger than the last.

Are you surprised?

Qiao Yu: "A child? Two years old."

"From the production team, right? People from the production team get married early."

Qiao Yu praised: "Sister, what's your brain like? You guessed this, amazing."

The receptionist was also amused by her, "Okay, just eat quickly, I won't bother you anymore."

"Yeah, okay, sis."

Only after eating and drinking enough did Qiao Yu set out on his journey home.

The children have not come back yet, Qiao Yu plans to make five pounds of Fuqiang powder to eat tomorrow, so...

I cooked corn, sweet potatoes and the remaining half of the shrimp in the evening, but without adding soybean oil. I made room in the black box to put the soybean oil in, and it won’t be too late to make a copy tomorrow.

I had lunch in the cafeteria and there was no oil, and there was no oil for dinner either.

But with maltose, the kids were still happy.

As usual, Qiao Yu talked with Zhou Jun.

At the beginning: "Zhou Jun, tomorrow I..."

"Auntie, should I take care of Xiaoyong? He and I are already familiar with each other."

Qiao Yu was filled with gratitude, "Zhou Jun, I am so lucky to have you. Thank you for your hard work, child. I have decided to give you fifty cents a month for childcare!"

"No need, auntie."

"What do you mean you don't need to take care of him? Auntie pushed Xiaoyong to you to take care of him, and who knows how the news will spread outside! For the sake of Auntie's reputation, you should accept him, Zhou Jun."

"……good."
