Harahai Town is a big town, there are two main streets alone, and the streets are lined with state-run shops, including supply and marketing cooperatives, hardware stores, pharmacies, restaurants, hotels, grain stores, and so on.

Each shop is hung with a serious plaque and slogans with very old characteristics, such as the supply and marketing cooperatives, there is a slogan of "developing the economy and ensuring supply", red paper and black letters, it may be a long time, the red paper has faded, and some places are damaged by the wind, and they are pasted on the windows of the supply and marketing cooperatives, like a spirit flag.

Han Mingxiu walked around the town for a while, and saw that there were almost all the shops in the town, and then went to the grain store.

She didn't have much oil left, and she was going to take her three catties of oil back.

The grain store is a slip of five adobe houses, there is also a slogan written on it, "grasp the revolution, promote production", as soon as you enter, you will smell a smell of moldy grain, the red bricks in the house are paved, there are a lot of grain inside, bags of grain pile up the house full, and there are several one-meter-high barrels placed at the door, which should be filled with soybean oil.

After looking at it, I saw a few staff members sitting together at the counter eating melon seeds, Han Mingxiu walked over, took out her three precious oil tickets, and handed them over.

"Comrade, I want to get oil."

Several staff members who were chatting didn't even glance at Han Mingxiu, and they were still chatting enthusiastically.

Han Mingxiu was very angry, but she also knew that it was useless to be angry, the rules of this era were different from those of later generations, the customer was God in the later life, and the waiter treated the customer with a smile throughout the whole process and served the customer wholeheartedly.

The salesmen in this era are all members of the public family, and they eat imperial grain, and they have nothing to do with selling more or less goods, even if they don't sell a penny of goods, they still pay salaries. Therefore, these people are all 2580,000 people, and they don't take customers seriously at all.

Han Mingxiu saw that they ignored them, so he had to say again, "Comrade, I want to receive oil." ”

"Listen, we're not deaf." One of the fat women shouted impatiently, took Han Mingxiu's ticket casually, glanced at it and said, "Soybean oil is two cents and five pounds, and three pounds of soybean oil are seven cents and five cents." ”

Han Mingxiu only knew that it was not enough to have a ticket, she still had to pay money, she thought that as long as she had this oil ticket, she would be able to exchange the oil ticket for three catties of soybean oil directly when she got here.

Looks like she's thinking too much!

She took out the money, counted out seven cents and five cents from it, and handed it to the fat woman.

The fat woman took the money and counted it, bent down and took out a funnel and an oil gourd scoop from under the counter, and lazily walked to a large oil drum and unscrewed the oil drum.

Han Mingxiu opened the lid of his oil jar and handed it over.

The gourd scoop is packed in one catty, and each scoop of oil represents a catty.

When the fat woman gave her oil, it was very annoying, when she took the scoop and poured oil into the funnel, the oil in the scoop had not dripped out, and she began to scoop the second scoop again.

Although Han Mingxiu couldn't get used to their stealing behavior, she didn't say anything, the world was like this, and she was helpless. There is no complaint in these years, and those who can be staff in the grain store must have something to do with the above, even if they complain, it is in vain, and the upper part is designated to protect her, besides, she can't be guilty of making a tongue with someone for half a tael of soybean oil.

After beating the oil, Han Mingxiu put the oil jar back into the back basket, put it into the space by the way, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperatives of this era are equivalent to modern supermarkets, mainly engaged in daily necessities, clothing, shoes and hats, towels and handkerchiefs, books and stationery, enamel aluminum products, pastries, tobacco and alcohol, and non-staple groceries.

Han Mingxiu walked into the supply and marketing cooperative, the supply and marketing cooperatives were only seventy or eighty square meters in size, and she was a big place, and she saw all the things inside at a glance.

The goods of this supply and marketing cooperative, everything for food and clothing, but most of the things in it are ticketed, such as cloth, cotton, sugar, wine, cigarettes, etc., all of which need tickets to buy.

Of course, there are also those that do not require tickets, such as matches, toothpaste, toothbrushes, notebooks, pens, alabaster and clam oil.

After reading it, Han Mingxiu went to the salesperson to buy plastic sheeting, the plastic cloth doesn't need a ticket, and the price is not expensive, only a dime and a half cents for a meter, she bought ten meters at once, and plans to book all the windows in the house after returning home, so as to save the air in the house.

Subsequently, she also bought a household appliance - a flashlight.

The use of the flashlight is very large, such as when you get up at night to fill the stove pit, you can use it at hand, unlike candles, you have to light it, which is strange and troublesome.

However, the price of the flashlight is not low, probably because there is a technological component in it, a flashlight costs three yuan, plus two batteries, it costs her a total of three yuan and five.

She also bought a pack of candles and a pack of matches, which are not expensive, they only cost four cents and a half when they add up, which is much cheaper than a flashlight.

Originally, I wanted to buy some more biscuits and candy, but those things all needed tickets, and she didn't have tickets, so she had to give up.

In the end, she bought three feet of white cotton cloth and two catties of cotton, and kept it for sanitary napkins, and the cotton cloth and cotton cost her five feet of cloth and two cents a piece, although it was quite expensive, but this money could not be saved, and it had to be spent.

After shopping, she didn't rush to leave, she sat by the stove of the supply and marketing cooperative, rubbed the hot air for a while, and was supposed to rest.

It was past noon, she had been on the road all morning, she was already hungry, her chest was close to her back, so she took out the eggs and sweet potatoes that had been boiled in the morning and ate them for lunch, and took out a cup to eat and drink, because the water and eggs and sweet potatoes were hot, and it was very comfortable to eat in the stomach!

After eating and drinking, she was almost rested, and then she picked up the basket and walked home......

As soon as she got outside, she put all the things in the basket into the space, only carried the empty basket, and went home lightly.

Because the snow is heavy, the road is very difficult to walk, she walked from the supply and marketing cooperatives at more than twelve o'clock, and walked home until half past four, when she returned home, she was almost tired, fortunately there was space, the things in the basket were stored in the space, if there was no space, let her carry these old things back, she had to be tired to death in the middle of the road......

When she got home, it was already dark, she took out the key and opened the door, put down the basket after entering the house, quickly chopped some cabbage, grabbed a handful of sorghum rice, and went to the backyard to feed the chickens.

The chicken has not been fed for a day, although she mixed a lot of chicken food before leaving in the morning, but this snowy day, I am afraid that there are wild sparrows or something that can't find food, fly to eat the chicken food, the day is already cold, if you let the chicken hungry for another day, you will definitely lose fat......

As expected, when she arrived in the back garden, she found that the chicken food bowl was really empty, and the hen saw her, as if she had seen a relative, and cooed straight to her.
