Chapter 100 for food stamps
This year's Chinese New Year is relatively early, and in the middle of January, Shen Yunfang began to prepare for travel. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this day and age, if you want to go out, there are a few things that are necessary, one is a letter of introduction. This is equivalent to a person's identity certificate, it can be said that wherever you go, you have to read the letter of introduction, you have to read the letter of introduction when you go to the hotel, if you don't have a letter of introduction, then I'm sorry, you can only sleep on the street, so the letter of introduction is very important.
This Shen Yunfang is not worried, because her uncle is the captain of the production team, and for her, this is very easy to get.
The other is food stamps. In this era, it was a planned economy, and the grain was uniformly distributed by the state, so no matter where you went to eat, you were provided with food stamps, and if you didn't have food stamps, no one would sell you food even if you had a lot of money in your hand. So you have to prepare some food stamps when you go out.
This Shen Yunfang also inquired in advance, farmers can also have food stamps, as long as they take the grain at home to the grain station in the county to change. It's just that this exchange is not a casual change, and the production team still has to give a certificate to prove that you really want to go to other places, and people will give you a national food stamp, otherwise they will only give you food stamps in the province.
Moreover, this proves that it is not enough to just have a small production team, but it must be certified by the commune. In this way, Uncle Shen could only help her go to the commune to get her sealed.
In addition, the grain station does not exchange all grain for food stamps, it only accepts grains such as rice or corn, and does not exchange sweet potatoes.
On this day, taking advantage of the good weather outside, Shen Yunfang deliberately went to Uncle Yougen's house to ask Uncle Yougen to help her take a ride and send her to the county to exchange food stamps.
Because he had already said hello to Uncle Shen, Shen Yougen happily agreed.
You must know that the carriage at this time is the property of the state, not his Shen Yougen's private property, so at this time, if the members want to use the car, they have to ask the consent of the production captain.
In this way, Shen Yunfang and Jianjun's daughter-in-law carried 50 catties of corn on their backs, 100 catties of soybeans on their backs, and carried a thick quilt from home, and set off from Gaijiatun in a leisurely manner. The daughter-in-law has a big belly and can't go out.
It's better to go to the brigade first, she has privately exchanged some soybeans with the villagers these days, and took advantage of the fact that there are no villagers to accompany her today, so she hurried to the brigade to squeeze some more oil. Forty pounds of soybean oil is really not enough to eat!
Jianjun's daughter-in-law shrunk in the thick quilt and chatted with Shen Yunfang.
"Are you changing to those old soybeans to extract oil? It's a loser. Jianjun's daughter-in-law knew that Shen Yunfang had money in her hands, but she still disagreed with Shen Yunfang's generosity.
"I don't think this is a loser, it's all in the stomach, why is it called a loser." Shen Yunfang was not convinced, she was already converging and converging, low-key and low-key, since she squeezed forty catties of soybean oil after the autumn, she has been squinting constantly, this time it is a special car pick-up and drop-off, so I want to squeeze some oil again, no one sees a bunch of old ladies in the province.
"This is not called a loser, a hundred catties of soybeans only produce less than half of the soybean oil, and more than half of it has to be wasted, so how can we old farmers eat soybean oil." Jianjun's daughter-in-law sighed twice, she couldn't get used to the smell of soybean oil, she hadn't eaten soybean oil a few times when she was so big, and she bought a piece of fat to refine it at home.
"Hehe, I'm used to eating it, I don't hate the beany smell of soybean oil." Shen Yunfang said with a hippie smile, "Always eating meat oil is not good for your health." ”
"Nonsense, we have eaten meat oil all our lives, and we don't look at anyone who is bad, orthodox." Jianjun's daughter-in-law glared at her.
Shen Yunfang thinks about it, people now can eat a pound of meat oil a year, they are all good people, so they can't be in good health. "Actually, it's not a waste, although the oil is less than half, but in the end, don't you take back the old bean cake, I can tell you, this bean cake is also a good thing, when the feed is fed to the pigs, even people can eat it."
She remembers that when she was a child, her father used to bake bean cakes for her to eat, which were crispy and delicious, and the more she chewed, the more fragrant they became. Of course, it is only eaten occasionally, not as a meal.
Jianjun's daughter-in-law didn't care, "You have given all the things that people eat to the pigs, it's not that you are bad things, you just have two dollars in your hand, I don't know what to do." ”
Shen Yunfang didn't get angry, but nodded approvingly, "Well, you're really right, I'm just rich and willful." ”
The two of them hid in the thick quilt and joked with each other, and they were not lonely along the way.
first arrived at the five-star brigade, carried the soybeans to the oil mill, paid a dollar in advance, put down the plastic oil drum, and said that he would come to pick it up in the afternoon, and Shen Yunfang took the carriage again and went straight to the county grain station.
Shen Yougen knew where the grain was stationing, because every year when the team handed over the task food, he drove the carriage here to deliver the grain, and he came every year, so the door was clear.
When I arrived at the door of the two stations, I showed the uncle who was the gatekeeper the letter of introduction, and the uncle only looked at the words of the letter of introduction and let him go, so I guess I know these words.
It's even easier to find when you get inside, and there is a special room for exchanging food stamps.
It didn't take much effort, Shen Yunfang went to the house and showed his letter of introduction to the staff, and after the staff checked the letter of introduction, he asked expressionlessly, "How much?" ”
Shen Yunfang hurriedly said, "Fifty catties." "The food she worked so hard to grow, she was still reluctant to exchange for more food stamps, and subconsciously she felt that the food stamps were not very useful, so she used as much as she estimated to change when she went out, and if she had more in her hand, it would be waste paper in the eighties, so it was better to use it now.
There is also a one-to-one exchange of food stamps, but a pair of 0.9, that is, one pound of grain can be exchanged for nine taels of food stamps.
The staff pointed to a floor scale in the room and motioned to Shen Yunfang to put the grain bag on the scale and weigh it.
Shen Yunfang obediently put the bag on her back on the scale.
The staff came over and dialed the scales a few times, fifty catties high, and some of them dialed the scales back, and they didn't even until fifty-five catties.
The staff looked at Shen Yunfang, nodded with satisfaction, opened the mouth of the sack, grabbed the corn kernels from it and looked at them, then threw them back, and went to the desk to issue a ticket for Shen Yunfang, and then counted the food stamps.
Of course satisfied, when Shen Yunfang weighed the grain at that time, he weighed fifty-three catties, and the sacks were all the same two catties, and the staff had the same mirror in their hearts, she said that in exchange for fifty catties of food stamps, the extra grain would of course be the staff's.
Because he knew that there was a benefit to take, the staff member finally had a smile on his face, and asked Shen Yunfang, how much face value would be exchanged for forty-five catties of food stamps.
At this time, there were many kinds of face values of grain stamps, ranging from one tael, two taels, half a catty, one catty, three catties, and five catties.
Shen Yunfang thought that she was just going out to eat in a restaurant, so she didn't ask for too much face value, she asked for two pieces of five catties, twenty pieces of one catty, twenty pieces of half a catty, and then ten pieces of two taels and one tael.
may be because of the benefits, so things can be done quickly, from the time Shen Yunfang carried the grain into the grain station, it was only half an hour, she changed her ticket and walked out of the grain station.
After a morning of traveling, plus still asking Uncle Yougen to get out of the car, so how could he not make the family hungry, and after a year, Shen Yunfang took the two of them to the restaurant for the first time. (To be continued.) )
