"Is your father a martyr?" Liang Ladi was stunned. This salary was a little higher than hers. Are electricians paid so well? Even the leaders in the factory didn't have such a high salary.
"Yes, he died helping the police capture enemy spies."
Liang Ladi's eyes became more respectful. "Then your father is really worthy of respect. You are the only one in your family. Your life must be very difficult."
"Not really. I know quite a few friends who have some connections. They don't lack rice or flour. They can have chicken or braised pork every two or three days."
Liang Ladi's eyes widened in shock at these words. Li Qinghe pretended not to know while talking and walked forward. After he finished speaking, he looked beside him. There was no one around him at this time. He turned around and saw Liang Ladi standing there in a daze.
"Sister Liang, what's wrong with you?"
"Ah? No, you are not bragging, are you? Even if your father is a martyr, he can't eat fine grains every day, right? And there is meat." Liang Ladi shook her head vigorously and asked in surprise and doubt.
"That's definitely not possible." Li Qinghe shook his head.
Liang Ladi breathed a sigh of relief, "I told you, you..."
Before she finished speaking, Li Qinghe's next words shocked her.
"I occasionally eat some whole grains. After all, eating whole grains is good for the body. Besides, I live in a large compound and I dare not eat meat freely. I can only eat it every few days. But if I want, it is not difficult to get some meat."
Liang Ladi: “…”
Did people say so?
I seldom see meat in a year. In order to have a taste of it once, I have to beg for mercy every time. How could you say that so casually?
What's the point of eating whole grains being good for the body? I don't want to be good for my body. Can I let fine grains damage my body as much as I want?
It has only been two years since the disaster and we have not yet fully recovered. Supplies are extremely scarce, especially meat, which is extremely precious.
Each person has a quota, only a few kilograms per year. If it is gone, you can do nothing but watch, unless you go to the pigeon market, but the price there is not affordable for ordinary people.
The price of meat there has risen much more sharply than that of grain. Now if you go to the market, a pound of meat costs more than 70 cents, and it can be sold for more than two yuan in the pigeon market. Sometimes, when the supply of meat decreases, the price can rise to three yuan.
Even so, there is no choice. Whether it is fat or thin depends on luck, and you can't buy much.
You know, in this era, everyone is short of fat and water in their stomachs, so when buying meat, they like fatter ones, the fatter the better, and it’s best if it’s all fat.
Fatty meat is very satisfying to eat, and lard can be made into lard for cooking, and the lard residue can be eaten as a vegetable.
Liang Ladi swallowed hard, "Then the meal coupons issued by the factory this time..."
Li Qinghe glanced at her and asked, "You want it?"
Liang Ladi's eyes lit up, and just as she was about to speak, Li Qinghe spoke up, "Then I'll give it to you. It's not much anyway, and pork is too greasy. I like to eat beef, or chicken or duck will do."
Liang Ladi was overjoyed, but then she felt depressed. This boy was really not a good person. Other people like to eat pork because it has fat, but beef has too much lean meat and is not very pleasing. But this boy does the opposite of others.
