Corn oil is not available yet, but peanut oil and rapeseed oil are available, and some camellia oil will also be sold, but the price of camellia oil will be higher.
Chen Zhenzhu didn't really like the taste of peanut oil, but there was no corn oil available in those days, so she just made do with it.
"Huh?" Xu Huixue stared blankly at the money her mother-in-law handed her, then looked up at her. "Where can I buy this?"
Whether it's lard or vegetable oil, you need a ration coupon to buy it from a supply and marketing cooperative or a shopping mall.
You don't need a ticket to go to the black market, but the prices there are higher.
Chen Su rolled her eyes at her, "Where are we going to buy it? We've run out of gas coupons, where can we buy more?"
"I remember your maternal grandparents' home was in the countryside, right? Do they have any..."
Before Chen Suwen could finish speaking, Xu Huixue had already shaken her head.
Not everything is available in the countryside.
In the countryside, peanuts and rapeseed are indeed grown, but they work collectively, and the harvest ultimately belongs to the collective.
Peanut oil extraction and rapeseed oil extraction are also collectively carried out, with only a small amount distributed to farmers at the end of the year.
It's similar at Xu Huixue's maternal grandmother's house.
They didn't get to eat oil often; the oil distributed by the brigade couldn't last them long.
The main problem is that there's not enough food available now; crop yields are so-so, and there aren't many animals to raise.
So, we'll have to wait another 10 or 20 years before we can afford to have unlimited cooking oil.
Chen Suwen: "..."
Oh no, I forgot.
She visualized and thought that city dwellers don't have land and can't grow crops, while rural people have land and can grow things like peanuts that can be pressed for oil.
They've all forgotten that life in the countryside might be even worse than that of city dwellers.
"You'll have to figure it out yourself. We're out of oil, so cooking is tasteless. Try to get some oil back."
Chen Suwen was too lazy to care and handed everything over to her daughter-in-law.
She needs to figure out what to use for pressing oil. Should she use soybeans, peanuts, or rapeseed?
In the 21st century, the yield of peanuts was around 1,000 jin per mu, and even if it was slightly higher, it would not exceed 1,500-2,000 jin.
After the apocalypse, the peanuts mutated, becoming slightly larger and producing slightly more peanuts.
However, the yield wasn't particularly high until wood-type ability users came up with a way to research it, and then the peanut yield was increased to about 3,000-5,000 catties per mu.
Chen Suwen had many seeds of mutated crops from the post-apocalyptic world in her space, but she didn't take them out casually.
There's no need to worry about the seeds in her space carrying viruses, because they've all been purified by a purifier.
Among the superhumans in the apocalypse, there is a special type of superhuman who awakens the ability of purification, which allows them to purify zombie viruses or other viruses.
However, there aren't many of these purification ability users, and it will take a long time to completely purify the various viruses in the apocalypse and eliminate the zombies.
Anyway, Chen Suwen and Zhou Qingyun won't be able to see it. Hopefully, those purifiers will eventually end the apocalypse.
Because the items in her space had been purified by a purifier, she wasn't worried that taking them out would carry viruses and bring any disaster to the world.
