After a while, most people knew about this dirty trick, and the effect naturally became worse and worse.
Didn’t you see that she herself is useless? Ye Fengjiao didn’t learn the essence.
Since dirty tricks didn't work, she could only try her best to squeeze in. Jiang Yan was very strong now and she was tall, so after some effort she broke through the crowd and successfully squeezed in front of the meat counter.
"I want seven pounds of pork."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene was silent for a second, and the staff of the supply and marketing cooperative were also stunned.
The monthly meat quota for people who eat rationed food is at most a few ounces per kilogram, and most people buy meat in this amount. No one would ask for seven kilograms of pork right away.
Where do so many meat tickets come from?
Jiang Yan repeated, "I want seven pounds of pork. I have a meat ticket. Can my pretty sister-in-law cut some for me?"
Seeing that Jiang Yan was so pretty and called her beautiful sister-in-law, the stunned sister-in-law was so happy that she directly cut a three-pound piece of pork belly for her, and also cut a four-pound piece of meat that was half fat and half lean.
The butchers at the supply and marketing cooperative were all experienced. They were steady, accurate and ruthless in their work. The amount of meat they cut was not a cent more or less, and all together it was exactly seven pounds of pork.
"Girl, there's only so much pork belly, I can't give it all to you. These four pounds of meat are not bad either, you can take it back and eat it."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
After handing the money to the staff, Jiang Yan squeezed out with the meat.
Seeing that He Hongxiu and the others were still trying to squeeze in, she quickly shouted, "Sister-in-law, stop pushing. I have some here. Let's share it."
Ye Fengjiao hurriedly pulled Zhuang Cuizhu over. She was a little afraid of Jiang Yan, so she had to pull Zhuang Cuizhu to give her courage. He Hongxiu and the other two also came over.
Everyone was very happy looking at the meat in Jiang Yan's hand.
Feng Yingchun took a look and said, "Sister, can I have a pound? My kid has been clamoring for meat for a long time."
"Okay." Jiang Yan nodded. "Sisters-in-law, each family can harvest one jin, and we will keep two jin."
Because the meat was a whole piece and there was no knife at hand, Jiang Yan decided to buy other things first, and then borrow a knife from the staff after the meat was sold.
There were a lot of people at the meat stall, but the other counters were not so crowded.
Putting her hands in her pockets to hide her appearance, Jiang Yan took out money from the space and bought 15 kilograms of rice, 5 kilograms each of wheat flour, cornmeal, and noodles, as well as seasonings and onions, ginger, garlic, etc. that were almost used up.
I can’t take any more if I don’t have it. Next time when Lu Yunsheng is on vacation, I can bring him along and buy more.
Because Jiang Yan is a military wife, she can go to the army logistics department to get her monthly rations. If she doesn't want to get them, she can exchange them for ration coupons and buy them at the supply and marketing cooperative herself.
Last night Jiang Yan gave Lu Yunsheng money and asked him to buy their food supply for this month when he got off work.
Lu Yunsheng had lunch in the army, and since lunch was the main meal, he ate better than morning and evening, so he could only take half of the rations home.
But now the family is well off, so he doesn't need any food.
While shopping, Jiang Yan found a pair of very beautiful cloth shoes on the counter. The shoe body was off-white and had beautiful patterns embroidered on it.
It is obvious that this is hand-embroidered. The embroidery craftsmanship is very exquisite, and the shoe style is very novel. Even Jiang Yan, who came from the future, thinks it looks beautiful.
I asked about the price, and found out that a pair of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles only cost 2.6 yuan, less than 3 yuan.
Jiang Yan decided to take it.
In later generations, a pair of exquisitely embroidered cloth shoes like this would cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars, and it was not always possible to buy shoes with such good embroidery.
After paying the money and the ticket and getting the shoes in her own size, Jiang Yan asked, "Are there any other styles?"
Seeing Jiang Yan's generous move, the staff member quickly replied: "Yes, I'll show it to you."
The staff took out a few more pairs of cloth shoes from under the counter, but none of them were as exquisite as the pair in Jiang Yan's hands. They all had factory prints and were cheaper.
But Jiang Yan didn't want the factory goods. Seeing that she was not satisfied, the staff asked in a low voice: "Girl, do you want the thousand-layer soles on your hands?"
Jiang Yan nodded repeatedly, and the staff member whispered, "This pair of shoes was made by Grandma Hehua from Xiatang Village, Village 3, Brigade 1, Dongli Commune. She is the best embroidery expert I have ever seen.
If you really like it, you can go to the village to find her and ask her to measure your feet and make it for you, but you have to provide the fabric yourself and give grandma some food as a reward for her hard work."
"Thanks."
After knowing the craftsman's address, Jiang Yan decided to go to this grandma and order a few pairs of shoes for her when she has time.
After buying things, the meat in the supply and marketing cooperative was sold out, so Jiang Yan asked the staff to help distribute the meat.
When the staff heard that she was a military wife living nearby, they became more enthusiastic and helped cut the meat into one-pound pieces.
Jiang Yan gave one kilogram of rice to each sister-in-law, and the sisters-in-law took the initiative to give her the money, but when it came to Ye Fengjiao, something went wrong.
Jiang Yan handed the meat over, and seeing the greed on Ye Fengjiao's face, but not seeing her making any move to give her money, Jiang Yan quickly took her hand back.
The meat in hand was gone, and Ye Fengjiao's old habit of taking advantage came back, "Jiang Yan, why don't you give it to me, give it to me quickly."
Jiang Yan spread her hands, her meaning was very clear. Ye Fengjiao chuckled, "Can I owe you the money first? I'll pay you back when I get the meat coupons next month."
