Chapter 406: Old Comes Young
There are 320 people in the village, and the two of them can't be busy at all, so they have to add two more male laborers in their fifties.
The people in the village were addicted to eating the canteen, so they asked the village to cook more dishes every day, one vegetarian and one meat.
Everyone is mainly trying to save trouble, no need to cook at noon, just two meals in the morning and evening, and no need to steam buns, the time saved, you can earn money for everything you do.
A lunch meal, even packing up, takes at least two hours. Two pieces of clothing can be processed in two hours, and the manual cost is at least 030 yuan.
You can buy two dishes, one vegetarian, one meat, and the dishes in the room are large, which is enough for the family to eat. Besides, there is a cost to doing it yourself.
The result of running a room is laughable. Elderly people are happy, and they often get together to discuss: "For five or eight years, I shouted slogans every day to realize communism, but I didn't expect it to really be communist."
This house in our village is better than the big pot of rice at that time, there is meat to eat every day, and white buns are eaten every meal. Even the original landlord and old wealth don't have this way to eat. ”
Later, more and more people in the village ate in the room, and most of the people ate at noon in order to save trouble. After school, children don't have to go home, they go directly to the room to eat.
For this reason, the village has made several cupboards, and each family has a fixed place to put dishes and chopsticks. Even for the elderly, the free time they free up to make more handmade insoles is better than cooking.
The house originally set up for outsiders has created convenience for the people in their own village, and has become a welfare for the villagers, and is very popular with everyone.
It was two years since the reform and opening up, and this year it can be regarded as a change. In the rural bazaars, they are open and prosperous, and real freedom of buying and selling has been realized, and the industrial and commercial tax only collects booth fees, and the crackdown is shortage.
No one mentioned buying and selling, speculating and selling, and on the market day, the front of the supply and marketing cooperatives was full of stalls selling clothing by individuals. The clothes on the stall are better than the styles in the supply and marketing cooperatives, the price is low, and the service attitude is good.
Now and unlike later generations, most of the garment factories are state-owned, and there are almost no individual garment factories.
The garment factory in Hantun Village also bears the name of a village-run enterprise, and the processed garments are still orders from Zhenyu Company.
Now there are few styles of clothing, and all stalls are the same clothes, but there are some differences in color and color, and the price is not much different.
People crowded into their stalls, picking out the right clothes, and they could try them on the spot.
Individual stalls can bargain, the same clothes, the asking price is lower than that of the supply and marketing cooperative, and those who can bargain can also reduce the price by a few cents.
Now it's a dime or two, it's not a small amount of money, and you can buy a lot of things. Cabbage is 2 cents a catty, salty salt is 7 cents a catty, and matches are 2 cents a box. A child's pencil is 3 cents. Half a pound of boxed baking soda biscuits is only 018 yuan.
Eggs, pork, grains and other agricultural products are even more open to trading, especially pork, and there are several stores that specialize in selling pork in each episode.
Selling baked cakes, selling steamed buns, fried fritters, sugar cakes, meat boxes, dumplings and meatball soup, and all kinds of snacks are sold.
The masses distributed more grain, and all kinds of pasta were sold in the bazaar, and the price of food stamps was low, but the price of food stamps was high, and everyone was no longer restricted by food stamps.
It's like baked cakes, a pound of food stamps plus 025 yuan to buy 5 baked cakes, and no food stamps are 010 yuan each.
Even the "old and light" dim sum that I haven't seen for many years is sold, and everyone will give the old man half a catty when they rush to the market.
Lao Lai light dim sum is actually a puffed dim sum made of Jiang rice, wrapped in a layer of white cotton candy outside, crispy and refreshing, fragrant and sweet, with a special Jiang rice burnt fragrance, the elderly have bad teeth, very suitable for them.
"Old and light" dim sum is large, half a catty is a big bag, and a red dim sum stick is placed on top of the yellow wrapping paper, tied with a paper rope.
The old man took the snack from the children who were rushing to the market, and complained: "What are you doing with this money, the former landlord is reluctant to eat it." But a happy smile bloomed on his face.
There is also a sesame candy seller, which is made of millet and malt, and is stained with a layer of cooked sesame seeds on the outside, which is crispy and sweet, and makes people want to eat it.
Making sesame candy and "old and light" dim sum are ancestral crafts, and grandma specially went to buy a batch of goods and sold them in the consignment point.
Yoyo especially likes that kind of burnt flavor, and always eats one secretly while grandpa is not paying attention. When Grandpa saw her come in, he raised his spirit and stared at her, afraid that she would have a toothache after eating too much.
However, sugar, cloth and other state-controlled products are still supplied according to tickets, and the purchase and sale of cloth tickets has also become open, and they are openly sold at the door of the supply and marketing cooperatives. The price of the unused cloth ticket has risen to 025 yuan, and some people still buy it.
Now people's lives have improved slightly, and when young people get married, they want to buy two more beds, so they spend money to buy cloth tickets.
The black market, which has been hidden for more than ten years, is completely history. Buying and selling bicycles, sewing machines, and watch tickets has also become public, with prices clearly marked.
Not only does no one care, people are not sure about the authenticity of the ticket, but they can also go to the supply and marketing cooperatives and ask the salesman to help distinguish the authenticity, and no one thinks there is anything inappropriate.
The stalls in the bazaar, in addition to clothing, are at most small commodity stalls. The best-selling not only are the small accessories that girls like, but the sales of various buttons have increased.
People's lives are better, and there are more people who make clothes, and the buttons of plexiglass with novel shapes and shiny metal buttons are deeply loved by women.
In particular, the mid-priced buttons that cost two cents a piece have the best sales. When there is a lot of traffic, no one can be busy.
Yoyo especially likes to visit rural markets, buy when she sees the right one, and grandma doesn't care about her, with her temperament, she can buy whatever she wants.
Special sales activities are often carried out in the e-mall, and every time they can bring huge profits, they are so happy that they can't find the north.
In the e-mall, the most popular is green goat meat. In later generations, green goats were almost extinct, that is, in the special breeding base, and there are some, all of which are artificially captive, and the current free-range green goats, there is a big difference in quality.
In the current market, there are more mutton sellers, and the price is cheaper than pork, and pure mutton is only 060 yuan per catty. Yoyo touched it, and every time it was round.
In fact, in each bazaar, there are at most more than a dozen mutton, each of which is less than ten catties of meat, that is, it must be finished, that is, more than 100 catties of mutton.
The price of green goat meat in the mall is high, thousands of yuan per catty. 100 catties is 100,000 yuan, and every time I catch the market, I can't close my mouth with a smile.
Once, it was raining in the market, and it was difficult to make baked cakes, and he sighed when he looked at more than 50 catties of noodles.
Sheltering from the rain and entering his stall, he smelled the sesame scent of the baked cakes, which aroused the cravings. drummed grandma and asked for all the baked cakes on the baked cake stall.
The one who sells the baked cakes is happy, and each baked cake is deliberately made bigger, and the sesame seeds on it are densely stained.
