Chapter 57 Visiting the Supply and Marketing Cooperative Together



Soon the bicycle stopped at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative. Qin Fang saw an old man looking at the bicycle not far away. He walked over decisively, paid ten cents, then locked the bicycle and parked it in the open space in front of the old man, where there were already several bicycles parked.

This is a special place for parking cars. The old man was quite cautious and gave him a number plate.

It's handwritten, and this is the receipt for picking up the car.

Lin Qiaoqiao's purpose of going to the supply and marketing cooperative this time was quite clear. She first went to the place where grain was sold, took out her small notebook, and bought 5 jin of rice and flour each. When she saw sesame seeds, she bought two liang directly without using a ticket.

As for the other condiments, I had already bought them last time, so I didn’t buy them again.

I passed by a bowl store and saw a few defective products that needed to be disposed of. The plates were pretty good but the edges had some dents, and the bowls also had some minor dents. 6 plates and 6 bowls is a pretty auspicious number.

There was a piece of paper on it saying "Special Sale", so it looked like a pretty good thing.

She waited until the teller was done before asking, "What do we do with these?"

The cashier said, "That bunch is just one piece, but it's a little dented, so I can only sell it at a special price, but it doesn't affect the use. If you can buy it together, I'll give you a few porcelain spoons."

"Give me four!" Lin Qiaoqiao had already taken out her wallet, which she made with scraps of cloth. There was no zipper, so she could only sew a button to open it and take out the money.

"Comrade, you have a nice wallet." The teller said as he packed the items with a rope.

After Lin Qiaoqiao paid the money, she said, "I made it myself. It's good, isn't it? I think it looks good!"

"It's quite good. It's perfect for holding money." The teller tied the thing up with a rope and finally tied a knot before handing it over.

When Lin Qiaoqiao got it, she found it was quite heavy, so she handed it to Qin Fang without hesitation.

"Is this your partner?" the teller asked.

"Yes!" Lin Qiaoqiao successfully saw disappointment on her face, and felt a little proud in her heart.

She wanted to buy bowls last time because there were only four bowls for eating at home and three plates for serving dishes, and they were very worn out. This time she bought new ones to replace them.

I saw some chopsticks on the counter and thought that I only had a few pairs of chopsticks at home.

"How much are these bamboo chopsticks?"

The teller was disappointed and could only say, "It's a dime a handful, grab as many as you can!"

"Then I won't be polite!" Lin Qiaoqiao decisively grabbed a handful and gave her a dime.

Chenggong saw the surprised expression of the cashier, because she grabbed a large handful of chopsticks, it seemed like at least 10 pairs, and then threw them into the cloth bag. This time I was well prepared and took all the bags I could at home, just in case I bought too much and couldn't fit them all.

After the people left, the teller said to himself, "It's a waste for such a good man to be with such a woman! If I can find a partner like this in the future, I can just keep her at home!" Then he said with a "Puh-Puh" sound, "How could I be so depraved? A good-looking man can't be eaten!"

When I arrived at the vegetable market, I saw Chinese cabbage, cucumbers, and green onions. I immediately paid for some, and now one more piece of the bag is gone.

When I arrived at the meat shop, I saw that there were no particularly good bones and the meat had been shaved clean. I can only say that the butcher's knife skills were particularly good today.

"Comrade, are you here to buy meat again?" the boss greeted warmly. He had a very good memory and could remember everyone who came to buy meat.

"You shaved the bones too clean today. There's not even a bit of meat on them!" Lin Qiaoqiao couldn't help but turn over the bones with her hands. Indeed, there was not much meat on the bones.

The boss smiled and said, "It's not much meat, but it's cheap, only 20 cents a pound. It's pretty good to make some soup at home. Add some winter melon and potato slices in it, and it can be a meal!"

Lin Qiaoqiao thought to herself, I can spend a few cents to buy a few pounds of bones. The most important thing is that children will benefit from drinking some bone soup. Then, I can use the bone soup to boil the pig's internal organs and add more salt. It should be enough for a week.

As for the pig's trotters, I plan to make them into braised pig's trotters, which will provide food for a week.

So he picked out two larger bones with some meat on them and said, "Weigh these two for me first!"

The boss did as he was told and saw the number on the scale. "3.6 jin, I'll give you 30 cents! I really shaved the bones a bit hard today!"

Lin Qiaoqiao looked at the pork belly again. Since she had decided to buy meat, she decided to buy more and gestured at the meat.

The boss understood what I meant and cut the meat with a knife, then put it on the scale. "One catty, exactly one catty, not a bit more. Comrade, you have a very accurate hand!"

Lin Qiaoqiao, "Since I'm so accurate, why don't you give me something?"

The teacher thought the girl was interesting. After looking at the meat on the chopping board, he couldn't bear to give her away, so he simply picked up a bone.

"I'm giving it to you!"

"Thank you, boss. I wish you a prosperous business!" Lin Qiaoqiao took out the money and meat coupons and handed them to the boss. This month's meat coupons had been used up.

It’s not easy to come to the supply and marketing cooperative, so I’ll go back and marinate this piece of meat with salt.

If she wants to eat meat again, she has to rely on Qin Fang to get it from outside. Anyway, if he has the ability to make it, then she has the ability to make meat into delicious dishes.

"Your girlfriend is quite tall!" The boss packed the things and handed them over. When he looked up just now, he found that there was a man next to the girl. He was quite tall and a little taller than him.

"It's okay!" Lin Qiaoqiao took the bag handed over by the boss and handed it to Qin Fang. It's different with a man following her. She doesn't have to carry the bag herself.

All I have to do is buy things for him. I’ve bought all the food, drinks and daily necessities.

When they arrived at the cloth store, Lin Qiaoqiao thought that her children would need schoolbags for school, so she picked out a thicker cloth and planned to make two schoolbags for the children. The two children insisted on making two schoolbags.

I saw some dark-colored, thinner cloth and wanted to buy it, but considering that there were only a limited number of cloth coupons, I had to save them up for the New Year to buy cloth for everyone to make clothes.

I didn't notice at all that she had already started calculating the New Year.

"Comrade, give me three feet of this cloth!"

"Okay, go over there and pay the money!" He wrote the bill neatly and handed it to them.

Lin Qiaoqiao took the ticket to the counter and paid the money. She saw the man clip the ticket to the string hanging above his head, then swung it hard and slid it over.

The teller just now received the written ticket, then used a ruler and a pair of scissors to cut the cloth, and then wrapped it in paper.

The movement was extremely fast, and it would take several years to achieve such a fast speed.

Qin Fang, "Aren't you going to buy that light blue cloth?"

Lin Qiaoqiao, "I won't buy it. Summer is almost over and we only have so many cloth coupons at home. I'd better not use them!"

Qin Fang, "Buy it! It's rare to see something you like! How can I let you go without clothes while I'm here?"

"That's what you said!" Lin Qiaoqiao had originally not planned to buy it, but after he said that, the idea in her mind was aroused again and she said to the cashier, "Give me six feet of this cloth!"

The teller bowed his head and wrote down the order with a flourish. He handed it over respectfully with both hands.

"As usual, go over there and pay!"
