Chapter 4 Where the Fruit Comes From
Lian Momo walked slowly behind, and when he saw the entrance of the street, the twins rushed out and squeezed into the crowd with all their strength. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lian Qingyi shouted excitedly, "Sister, cabbage has been supplied this month, 20 catties per household, and the fine grain is one pound more than last month!
Lian Momo almost forgot that the New Year of 65 was January 20th, and it looked like the New Year was coming, no wonder there were fish.
Lian Qingyi's favorite food is fish, but unfortunately the conditions do not allow it, and it can be encountered during the festival a year, and whether you can buy it depends on luck, pulling Momo, "Sister, we will go to line up at three o'clock in the morning." ”
Even Qingren patted his younger brother on the head, and his hat was crooked, "Look at your little bit of talent." ”
Lian Qingyi snorted, "You have a good time, don't eat it when the time comes." ”
The two brothers made a fuss again, pushing each other, the snowballs in their hands flew all over the sky, and the corners of Lian Momo's mouth were filled with a cheerful smile, although the times have created a hard life, but it is enough for the family to be together, "You two wait for me." ”
After dinner in the evening, Tian Qing took out thirty yuan to Momo, and at the beginning of tomorrow, he would take the grain book to buy grain and non-staple food for the family.
Since Tian Qing went to work, the food at home has been returned to Momo, and Momo is placed in a wooden box, with two layers of wooden boxes, with grain books on top and all kinds of tickets below.
Lian Momo took out the box where she saved money, it was all the money she had saved, she had forgotten how much money she had for too long, and it was really a lot to take it out, there were twenty-two yuan and two cents, twenty yuan was a huge amount of money in the sixties, but it was not enough for a meal in the future.
The gold of the prosperous antique troubled times, gold is now not allowed to be bought and sold privately, and Huaxia is unified to purchase. Antique Lian Momo is not a student of archaeology, and he doesn't have that eyesight. Now the safest is the stamps, although I don't know which edition is valuable, but they have been collected, there is always something valuable.
At three o'clock in the morning, Lian Momo followed his two younger brothers to the grain station with his father's only military coat, the cart was his own, and Lian Momo left the grain book to the two younger brothers, "Qingren, you come to line up the grain, Qingyi will line up the cabbage, I will go to the line of non-staple food, and you two will go back together after buying it, and you don't have to wait for me." ”
Lian Qingren took the food book, "I know, sister." ”
Lian Momo left the money and walked in the direction of non-staple food, she came to buy non-staple food with selfish intentions, she wanted to smuggle something out of the space openly.
There are more non-staple food people, there are already a lot of people in front of Lian Momo, who have stayed in the future for six years, Lian Momo has adapted to the warm winter, standing in the snow and blowing the biting cold wind, her whole body is cold, and her whole body is so cold that her whole person is shrunk into her coat.
At eight o'clock, the grain station opened, and after more than ten minutes of queuing, the twins finally arrived, and even Momo was still in line, the two brothers bought the grain and cabbage first, and gave the grain to Momo to go home first.
Five minutes later, Momo was lined up, and Momo didn't have much meat in front of the pork case, "One catty, two taels of pork belly, this is a meat ticket." ”
The uncle who sold meat went down with a knife exactly one catty and two taels, and handed it to Lian Momo, "One catty, two taels of meat, eight cents." ”
Lian Momo handed over the money, carried the meat to make way of the position, looked at the thin piece of meat in his hand as he walked, and sighed.
The meat per person in the town is rationed every month, two taels of meat tickets, sometimes there will be a shortage of supply, and you can't eat a mouthful of meat for several months, this catty of two taels of meat is the amount of six people a month, but it is much better than in the countryside.
Lian Momo arrived at the fish stall, fortunately the row was early, and a board was set up in front, and it was written in front of the board that each household was limited to one, and the size of the fish was all up to their luck.
"Comrade, get me one. ”
Lian Momo didn't expect her luck to be so good, she fished out at least three catties of carp from the water, and the scale was three catties and eight taels high, "Little comrade, a total of three pieces and four points." ”
Lian Momo hurriedly took out the money and walked away with the carp in envy, thinking as she walked, she was reborn, and it was not uncommon for her to be lucky.
Then she went straight to the place where eggs were sold, egg tickets were issued by households, one egg ticket per household, you could buy ten eggs, five cents a piece, bought eggs, and then oil, oil tickets and pork are the same, two taels per person, one pound of two taels of oil, and then bought half a pound of sugar, and some seasonings, and the back basket was hidden.
Even Momo didn't have anything to buy, thinking about what to smuggle into, she took out about half a catty of fat, four pig's trotters, and two leg bones from the space, and took out half a catty of fruit candy that she had unpacked last night, six apples, six oranges, a roll of dried kelp, a pack of about two catties of mung beans, and half a piece of tofu left over from the space.
When Lian Momo arrived home, the two brothers were already at home, and the food was put in the kitchen jar, and they were holding a notebook to remember how much money they spent.
Lian Qingyi jumped up and asked eagerly, "Sister, did you buy fish?"
Even Qingyi saw that Momo didn't speak, and the whole person was not good, when they came back, they saw that someone went late and didn't buy fish, and it seems that my sister didn't buy it either.
Lian Momo couldn't help laughing, Lian Qingyi saw it, his mouth cracked, and he hugged Momo in a circle, "Haha, I bought it." ”
Even Momo twitched the corners of his mouth, this kid didn't have any steadyness, "Okay, let me down, everything is in the back basket, you see for yourself, I'll see what you bought first." ”
When Lian Qingyi heard this, he put down Lian Momo and turned over the back basket, Momo picked up the notebook, his father is 35 catties of grain per month, his mother is 32 catties of grain, she is a high school student with 29 catties of grain, the two younger brothers are 27 catties, and the younger brother is 20 catties of the minimum standard, a total of 142 catties of grain.
This month, each person has three catties of fine grain, one catty of second-grade Fuqiang flour, two catties of second-class rice, and this month, 6 catties of Fuqiang flour and 12 catties of rice, a total of 18 catties.
Except for 18 catties of fine grains, the remaining 124 catties of grain are bought according to the ratio of 7:2:1, 7 is cornmeal, 2 is dried sweet potato, and 1 is other grains, which is different every month.
Cornmeal is 1 Mao 4, a total of 87 catties, 12 pieces of 1 Mao 8, 25 catties of dried sweet potatoes 5 cents a catty, 2 pieces of 6, 12 catties of sorghum rice 1 Mao a catty, 1 piece of 2 Mao, Fuqiang flour 6 catties of 2 Mao, 1 piece of 2, 12 catties of rice 2 Mao 2, 2 pieces of 6 Mao 4, 20 catties of cabbage, 5 cents a catty 1 yuan.
Momo silently calculated, this trip cost 26 yuan and eight cents, her mother gave thirty, and there were still 3 yuan and 9 cents left, but there were a lot of scarce things in her basket, and the money could not be returned to her mother, so it could only be stored here for her.
Even Qingyi had already put all the things in the basket on the table, and his voice trembled a little, "Sister, there is a fruit seller today, and the meat is not right?"
Lian Momo put down the notebook, and the lie was written again before he spoke, "When I went to buy meat, I saw that no one wanted pig's trotters and bones, so I bought it without a ticket, as for the extra fat, I exchanged it for fruit, I originally bought eight apples, but I exchanged it for two, and the fruit candy is going to be the New Year, so I bought more if I don't want a ticket." ”
Although Lian Qingyi was puzzled, her sister never lied, so she believed it, but she was very annoyed, "I knew that I would let my second brother send food back, and my sister and I will continue to line up, maybe we can buy more." ”
Momo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then rolled her eyes, "Fruits are also limited, and each household can buy up to five catties." ”
Lian Qingyi pouted, "I know that there is no limit to the good thing." ”
