Li Jinfeng knew that in that era, food coupons were needed to buy food, but she didn't know that food coupons were also needed to eat in a restaurant.
And she didn't really want to come in to eat, she just wanted to ask about the purchasing power of this era.
"Comrade, I'm sorry, I didn't bring my food coupons. I just wanted to ask you how much a bowl of noodles costs." Li Jinfeng forced out a fairly kind smile.
Unexpectedly, the moment she said she didn't have food coupons, the waiter rolled his eyes almost to the sky.
"You didn't bring it? I take it you didn't have it? How dare you come out to eat without your food coupons? Where did you come from, you country bumpkin? Don't you even know where you are?"
After being criticized again and again, Li Jinfeng could no longer bear it.
"Isn't it just that I don't have food coupons? I just came to ask about the price. Why are you so aggressive? Is there anyone who does business like you?"
It was noon, the weather was hot, her stomach was burning, and she was being scolded all the time. Li Jinfeng couldn't stand it anymore.
After being scolded by Li Jinfeng, the waiter was not as arrogant as before.
But he still pointed at the door and told Li Jinfeng to get out.
Even if you ask Li Jinfeng to come to a place like this, she won't come again.
She walked out angrily and ran into a man who was about thirty years old, wearing an old blue cloth shirt with patches all over his body.
I had been standing outside for a while when I heard what Li Jinfeng said.
The man tried to comfort Li Jinfeng, "This is a state-owned restaurant. They have their eyes on the top of their heads and won't give face to anyone. Don't bother with them."
After hearing what the man said, Li Jinfeng understood.
No wonder he looks so indifferent.
At that time, there was no so-called market economy, and everything was done according to plan.
Those who work in a good company will naturally be very proud, especially those who run restaurants. Eating is definitely more convenient than others and they don’t have to worry about food. In this era, they are basically invincible.
"Thank you!" Li Jinfeng said politely.
The man suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Girl, do you have money but no coupons? I have food and I won't take your food coupons. Let's exchange some."
The man was doing business at the night market. He had some coarse grains on hand and would come to the county town every once in a while.
I originally wanted to go to the night market today to exchange coarse grains for some money. I happened to see Li Jinfeng, so I thought I might as well exchange the coarse grains with Li Jinfeng, so that I don’t have to go to the night market and worry about it.
"Do you have food? What kind of food?" Li Jinfeng asked in a low voice, imitating the man's manner.
The man thought Li Jinfeng wanted to buy something, so he looked around and saw no one around. He said to Li Jinfeng, "Let's go over to that willow tree over there and talk!"
It’s not that Li Jinfeng is bold, but in this era, everyone is generally poor and their only concern is how to fill their stomachs.
There is basically no human trafficking.
After all, if you bring someone over and then give him free food and drinks, only a fool would do such a loss-making business.
Moreover, there are always people patrolling in the county town. If you shout loudly, someone may rush over to rescue you immediately.
Li Jinfeng followed the man to the big tree. The man showed Li Jinfeng the bag he was carrying.
With just one glance, Li Jinfeng could see clearly what was inside. It was just some corn, and the quality was not good. It looked like it was about to mold.
The man said, "It's 80 cents a pound at the night market, I'll give you 75 cents! Cash on delivery!"
