Chapter 459 Toddler 1
While the people behind were discussing, it was soon Chen Xueniang's turn.
She took out her grain book, grain coupons, and money, walked into the grain store, and quickly weighed out 15 kilograms of cornmeal. She held the flour bag with both hands and let the clerk pour the weighed cornmeal into the flour bag. She turned around and said to Feng Qingxue who had followed her, "I work in a textile factory and eat in the cafeteria at noon every day, so I have to keep some grain coupons in my hand."
She bought the noodles and stepped aside with the bag of noodles. Feng Qingxue hurried forward and when she got close to her, she found that there were only cornmeal and dried sweet potatoes today, without any fine grains, and the quality was not very good.
"What do you want to buy? How much?" the clerk asked impatiently.
Feng Qingxue hurriedly handed over the food ration book and food coupons, "Thirty-five catties of cornmeal."
The food coupons Wang Cuilan gave her were for 35 kilograms of coarse grains, which was the supply standard for this month.
If there is no sweet potato flour, just buy corn flour. She can bring some back from home when she goes home in the afternoon or tomorrow morning.
The clerk took a look at her food record and immediately smiled. He weighed out the cornmeal for her and put it into the flour bag. "Is this from Mayor Cheng and Director Wang? I haven't seen you before. Cornmeal is 9.2 cents a pound, a total of 3.22 yuan."
The raw grain is 7.2%, the processing fee is 1%, and the finished grain is 9.2%. This should include the loss between the raw grain and the finished product.
Feng Qingxue made some calculations in her mind. She handed over the money, took back the grain book, and took away the flour bag.
There were too many people in the grain store, and everyone was scrambling to get in. There were people who hadn't queued yet and wanted to cut in line, shouting that they had to go to work immediately. However, the other party refused to let them go, and it was very noisy. Chen Xuenniang and she finally squeezed out of the crowd. They looked at each other's embarrassed looks, laughed, and both found each other pleasing to the eye.
When daybreak came, Feng Qingxue saw Chen Xuenniang's appearance more clearly. No wonder Wang Erniu was so wary of her. She was indeed very beautiful, the kind of beauty that was in her bones and no longer affected by the years.
She looked to be around forty years old, but Feng Qingxue knew that her actual age must be over forty.
Chen Xueniang pulled up her scarf to cover her face, "If you don't mind, I'll talk to you when I have time!"
Feng Qingxue smiled and nodded. She saw Wang Cuilan waving at her, so she quickly turned away from Chen Xuenniang and walked to Wang Cuilan.
"Aunt, there are only cornmeal and dried sweet potatoes, so I bought cornmeal. We have plenty of dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato flour at home. I will bring back a sack tomorrow, enough to last for several months. Sweet potatoes are bad for the stomach, so eat less if you can."
"Okay, okay, you can buy anything." Wang Cuilan showed her the basket in her hand and said proudly, "I'm lucky today. I bought half a pig's liver and half a pig's head. I didn't need any tickets. I only used one or two meat tickets to buy a small piece of lean meat for Xibao to make meat porridge. The remaining meat tickets can be used later. I'll stew the pig's head when I come back this afternoon. You can take some home tomorrow morning to satisfy the cravings of the elderly and children."
"Thank you for your concern, Auntie." Feng Qingxue thanked her.
"What are we as a family thanking each other for? Go, go, go, hurry up, send the things home and get to work quickly. It will be too late if you are late!"
At that time, the management of many government agencies was not very strict. It was okay to be late or leave early once or twice, because many staff members had nothing to do and sat in the office drinking tea, chatting and reading newspapers.
Feng Qingxue rushed to the hospital, only to find that everyone was quiet, with Zhou Chengfeng and Chen Yuwan whispering to each other.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
