Chapter 173: Abolishing Food Stamps
This mutton hotpot meal made everyone dizzy with its delicious taste.
Several sisters-in-law wanted to help clean up after they finished eating, but when they stood up, their stomachs were too full and they couldn't bend down.
Lu Xiang said: "No need, sister-in-law, I will clean it up tomorrow."
No one argued with her. They really couldn't work anymore, so they all went home.
These people really ate a lot and ate up everything Lu Xiang had prepared before. This is enough for twenty people!
Lu Xiang was actually happy to see that there was nothing left.
She also ate very satisfyingly today.
This is the most delicious meal I've had since I became pregnant.
Fu Qinhui said, "If you like, Fatty Liu and I can buy the other two sheep as well!"
They have a large family and they ate this much in one meal today. If they eat it twice more, it will be gone.
Lu Xiang said: "Not good!"
Fu Qinhui thought for a moment and said, "That's right, I didn't think it through. If I have a chance, I'll go get some somewhere else."
Lu Xiang said, "Beef too!" She really wanted to eat beef, especially steamed dumplings stuffed with beef.
Fu Qinhui agreed readily.
Lu Xiang said: "But beef is a bit expensive..."
Before she could finish, Fu Qinhui interrupted her: "No matter what, as long as you like to eat it!"
His most important thing is to protect Lu Xiang.
The next morning, Xiao Cailian came with her two sisters-in-law to pack up.
Lu Xiang said she would do it, but Fu Ersao refused and insisted on helping to clean up.
Hot pot mutton requires a lot of plates and bowls. Lu Xiang also carefully prepared a small condiment area. It's really tiring to clean it all by yourself.
We had mutton hotpot yesterday, and Mrs. Fu San and Mrs. Fu Er are still happy when they think about it.
Xiao Cailian also said that the mutton hotpot was delicious.
This is the first time I’ve eaten meat like this, with both meat and vegetables, it’s really unforgettable.
Lu Xiang said, "We can also make mutton hotpot!" The remaining meat is the leg meat. Lu Xiang plans to roast the leg meat and skewer the rest or make mutton soup.
Xiao Cailian had a gentle smile on her face: "Silly child, how can you eat all the good things in one day?" Yesterday was already too much.
Mrs. Fu said from the side, "Of course not. Who eats like this? Normally, a piece of meat would be cut into three parts. If it can be dipped in oil, it would be considered meat."
Mrs. Fu was also happy. Looking around the whole village, who else could eat as lavishly as they did? Ever since Lu Xiang came into the family, the food was much better than before, not to mention anything else.
It's the best in the world. It made everyone hungry.
Ever since her family started making money, Xiao Cailian is not as stingy as before and is willing to add money and dishes to the dinner table.
Their family is different from other families. In other families, sisters-in-law fight over things openly and secretly, and the mother-in-law fights with her son.
My family is so harmonious. When I came here this morning, my third and second sisters-in-law were urging Xiao Cailian to bring some eggs to Lu Xiang. I ate too much yesterday, so I had to make it up to her.
Xiao Cailian said that everyone had eaten, but she wanted to use my eggs to pay for it, but she still took twenty eggs.
These eggs are nutritious. For a pregnant woman like her, it would be good to eat a few more.
Mrs. Fu's second and third wives chatted as they washed the dishes, and soon they were all shiny.
Then they heard the noisy sounds outside. They were curious about what was going on.
Then someone knocked on the door and announced, "The village chief wants everyone to go outside to thresh the grain."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. It had snowed heavily all night last night. It was still falling. The snow made a crunching sound when they stepped on it.
Why ask them to go over when it’s snowing?
Lu Xiang thought about it and followed them.
Before leaving, Xiao Cailian took advantage of the two daughters-in-law not noticing and secretly said to Lu Xiang: "I left you a piece of pork belly. I'll bring it to you when I'm done."
Lu Xiang was tempted when she heard this. It just so happened that she had a copper pot at home, so she could stew some pickled cabbage and boiled pork. It would be so warm. And the pickled cabbage became more fragrant the longer it stewed.
This piece of meat was what the mother-in-law left when she slaughtered the pig. After dividing some of it, Xiao Cailian watched this little piece of meat very carefully.
It's not allowed on weekdays, but Lu Xiang has mutton but no pork. Xiao Cailian prepared five pounds for her, which is enough for her to eat for a while.
Lu Xiang said, "Thank you, Mom."
Xiao Cailian smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for?" Her eyes were all smiling. She really liked Lu Xiang now. Lu Xiang was sweet-spoken and beautiful, and now she was pregnant with her eldest grandson.
It really has all four corners.
When they went out together, Xiao Cailian held Lu Xiang's arm, and if you didn't know them, you would think they were mother and daughter.
When we arrived at the threshing ground, we saw the village chief standing on the pile of firewood.
Everyone came out, some of them were wearing thin clothes, and some were wearing thin clothes.
The village chief said, "I called you here today for one thing!" As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's heart was lifted.
I don’t know what’s going on with the village chief, and I’m afraid something bad has happened.
The village chief said: "According to instructions from higher authorities, the country has completely abolished food coupons!" As soon as these words fell, everyone was stunned. What did this mean?
People in the village are afraid of change. Every time a change occurs, they don’t know what to do. They like a monotonous life.
Some people tried to ask: "What does this mean?"
“Don’t you want tickets anymore?”
Although the village chief had made it very clear, no one dared to believe it.
I have used food coupons for decades, and now I don’t need them anymore. I am full of doubts.
The village chief said, "It's true!" He had the same mentality as the villagers.
I don’t know whether the discontinuation of food coupons is a good thing or a bad thing.
This has made things more convenient for many villagers.
Workers were given more food coupons, but the villagers didn't have many. You always needed a coupon for everything: thermoses, rice, meat, grain, and so on.
Sometimes I can’t get it, so I have to exchange it with others at a high price.
From now on, we don’t need tickets, we only need money, which saves money for the villagers.
However, everyone still looked at each other in confusion after this move.
"Then I'm going to buy some grain and oil to try it out!" She just wanted to feel it.
"I want to buy a watch."
"I want to buy a radio."
"No tickets, that's great! Let's wait until the snow stops and go out for a walk." After all, they had money after the autumn harvest, and there weren't many people in the greenhouse. Everyone wanted to know if this was true.
The village chief had actually received the order several days earlier. He had digested it for a few days before sharing the good news with everyone.
After saying that, he told everyone to disperse.
No one noticed the smile on Lu Xiang's lips.
It seems that the planned economy is not far away.
