At that time, one dollar could buy thirty kilograms of rice.
Fifty or one hundred dollars can buy a lot of things, beautiful cheongsams, beautiful shoes...
Because of this, Lu Mingfang felt even more distressed about Li Jinfeng's past life.
"This year, we'll just be together for the New Year. We'll have a good meal and make some nice clothes!" Lu Mingfang said proudly.
Li Jinfeng knew that Lu Mingfang said this mostly for herself.
But all these sufferings were borne by the original owner.
In her previous life, although she was not as well-off as Lu Mingfang was when she was young, she was still well-off and had no high requirements for food. She was satisfied as long as she could get by.
And she still has space, no matter how bad it is, it can't be that bad.
"Grandpa, I'm going to the kitchen to help Aunt Da'e cook. You and my aunt and brother Jianguo can chat here."
After showing the last photo in her hand to Mr. Lu, Li Jinfeng spoke.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Mingfang also hurriedly said: "I'm going to the kitchen too, I'm going too!"
"Jianguo, you should spend more time talking to the old man, so that he won't have time to go home after working all the time." Lu Mingfang said.
"Okay!" Lu Jianguo responded softly.
In the kitchen, Sister E was cutting a fish.
Someone delivered the New Year's dishes this morning.
Three fish, five pounds of meat, a chicken, and some vegetables, such as cabbage and white radish.
Although it was not as sumptuous as the New Year celebrations decades later, in that era, such days were already like heaven.
In addition to the fish we ate today, there are two left. Sister E kept them in the fish tank. She will cook one for the New Year’s Eve dinner tomorrow, and another one when relatives come to visit on the second day of the first lunar month.
Li Jinfeng took out carrots and two pieces of lotus root from the vegetables she brought with her, and also a small half of the lamb leg and a pound and a half of ribs that she had cut off a few nights ago.
"Aunt Da'e, these can be used to add a few dishes for the New Year."
Sister E and Lu Mingfang looked at the lamb legs, then at the spare ribs and lotus roots, their eyes widened.
"Oh my God, Jinfeng, where did you get this lamb leg...ribs?" Lu Mingfang looked surprised.
Mutton is the best meat to eat at this time, but it is also very difficult to buy.
Li Jinfeng smiled and said, "It was snowing on the day of the Little New Year, so there were fewer people buying vegetables. I got a bargain."
Lu Mingfang remembers that day, she was freezing to death.
If it were her, she would definitely not choose to go out to buy groceries that day.
Others must be thinking the same thing. If no one goes out, wouldn’t it be easier to buy those limited-supply items?
"You are really awesome, but next time it's this cold, don't go out. If you really need to buy groceries or something, let Jianguo go. He has thick skin and won't die from a cold!" Lu Mingfang said loudly.
Upon hearing this, Li Jinfeng burst into laughter.
She is now certain that Lu Mingfang is her biological aunt, and she really doesn't feel sorry for her eldest nephew at all.
"Aunt, you just watch from the side. Sister E and I will be in charge of cooking lunch."
For lunch, I had a braised fish, a clear-boiled radish soup, a dish of braised pork with cabbage, and scrambled eggs with green onions.
Although there are only four dishes, the portion of each dish is large enough for everyone to have a full meal.
There were six people at the dinner table, including Sister E.
"Girl Jinfeng, you'll be at Grandpa's house these few days. If you want to eat anything, just tell Grandpa and I'll find a way to make it for you."
Mr. Lu was worried that Li Jinfeng didn't eat well, so he deliberately mentioned it during the meal.
