The little girl rubbed her face embarrassedly and said, "I didn't eat lunch. I'm going to buy a meat pie over there. Do you want to eat it?"
Zhou Sese shook her head.
She has three standard meals a day and doesn't eat any staple food other than those three meals a day.
But I still followed Gao Yang.
Gao Yang said, "Give me two meat patties."
The boss smiled with wrinkles on his face, "Okay, lesbian, one is 20 cents, two are 40 cents."
Gao Yang gave the money.
Zhou Sese realized belatedly that in this era, one no longer needed food stamps to buy buns and meat patties; they could be purchased directly with cash.
However, rice, oil, sugar, tofu, etc. require food coupons.
There are also some large items that require daily industrial tickets, such as bicycles, sewing machines, and radios...

Zhou Sese was stunned by the price.
Gao Yang sighed, "Nine out of ten workers in the coal mine are migrant workers from outside. Very few of them bring their wives with them. A bunch of grown men are stuck in the coal mine all day long and don't know the normal prices outside.
My brother works as an accountant in the mine. He said that these workers' wages are around 50 or 60 yuan a month, which is almost as much as that of college students. We locals envy them for earning so much, but we dare not go down to the coal mines because some traders secretly skin them.
But they only spend once or twice a month, and send all their savings back home. It's even more expensive for them to send money and letters."
