When many years and Qin Huairu saw Liu Wanqiu and them, the eyes of the four of them also looked over.

The eyes of the two sides met in the air, and their expressions were different.

For many years, he was indifferent and indifferent, and even a little disliked.

Because in his opinion, Liu Wanqiu and Duan Xiaoyu are synonymous with trouble.

Not to mention Jia Zhang's family, since she returned to the courtyard many years ago, she has never stopped looking for troubles for many years.

As for He Yuzhu, who is stunned, he has just been an ordinary neighbor for many years.

People say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but close neighbors like He Yuzhu should forget it.

When I got married before, I invited each other to help me take charge of the spoon for many years.

Good guy, quit halfway, and then the day before the wedding, I want to come back again.

Such a neighbor, it's really useless to give him a chance, the grass on the wall, while staying.

Qin Huairu just stared at Liu Wanqiu, she still remembered what the latter said to her at the beginning, it was very hurtful.

Therefore, since hearing about Liu Wanqiu's father, Qin Huairu only had happiness in her heart, and she had no sympathy and pity.

Of the four Liu Wanqiu on the opposite side, only He Yuzhu was slightly embarrassed, and the other three looked at him and Qin Huairu with hatred.

Then, many years and Qin Huairu ignored the four of them, passed by them, and didn't look at them.

And just left.

Seeing that Liu Wanqiu and Duan Xiaoyu were still looking at the backs of Qin Huairu for many years, He Yuzhu was slightly jealous and said embarrassedly:

"Well, I've got lunch ready, let's go inside and sit down and talk while eating."

A humble licking dog is just coveting other people's beauty, and sooner or later you will regret it.

It's a pity that He Yuzhu is so lustful, after all, this is a man's true color.

Liu Wanqiuqiang smiled, her smile was very ugly, but He Yuzhu didn't dare to shake her face.

This is a very difficult invitation, and when you look at it up close, they are indeed beautiful.

Damn, he's going to fall, what to do?

After leaving the courtyard with Qin Huairu for many years, he didn't know He Yuzhu's psychological activities at all.

Even if you know, you won't be nosy.

The little couple didn't discuss Liu Wanqiu's affairs, but chatted about what they should buy later.

Qin Huairu, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, was in a beautiful mood.

She really hopes to just rely on her brother Anian and go all the way.

But the department store is not very far, and by bicycle, of course, it will be faster.

After arriving at the place, parking the car, Qin Huairu saw that many years took out five cents to give it to people, and then the other party gave him a ticket, and couldn't help but glance at the ticket curiously.

"Brother Anian, this is a parking ticket? Is it going to be so expensive? ”

"That's right, those who can ride a bicycle now are still rich, spend five cents to buy a safe, don't be stolen by someone when the bicycle is stolen, it's even more troublesome"

Many years smiled lightly, but I can understand this very well.

In this era, the security of the capital is difficult to describe.

In these places such as units or courtyards, it goes without saying that it is definitely safe, and it is very safe.

But in some public places, this is not necessarily the case.

Department stores are very crowded from the beginning of the morning to the end of the evening.

Looking at the lack of materials in this era, there are still many rich people in the capital with a population of 6.6 million.

Not to mention those university professors, Peking Opera actors such as Mei Lanfang, and not to mention those cadre leaders, there are just ordinary working class like many years, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, and there are many people with a monthly salary of about seventy or eighty.

There are also some groups of doctors, relevant departments like Kang Daotong, military officers, etc., many groups can be said to be rich people in this era.

For example, ordinary designers such as Chen Xiaoxian and Hu Shufen have a salary of forty or fifty yuan per month.

There are many rich people, but in comparison, there are more poor people.

Many poor people have backbone, no matter how poor and miserable they are, they will not steal or rob, but rely on their hands to work in exchange for living needs.

However, there are always pickpockets, whose bones are very soft, who do not want to work, and only think about stealing chickens and touching dogs.

and some traffickers and the like, who come to public places to find targets.

In short, this society is very complex, and there are all kinds of people.

So, for many years, every time I came to the department store, I still walked if I didn't have to.

It's just that since I got a bicycle, I don't like to walk very much.

Qin Huairu sighed for a moment, and then followed many years into the store.

Not long after entering, I saw people gathered together, and it was very lively.

The two passed by and heard the people inside shouting moon cakes, moon cake tickets, etc., and then they realized that this was a place to sell moon cakes.

"Brother Anian, this is too crazy, isn't it?"

Looking at the scene in front of him, at least hundreds of people were crowded, holding tickets in their hands to buy mooncakes.

So it gave Qin Huairu a great shock.

Many years smiled and said to her, "Let's go, let's go to the front and have a look, it's normal for there to be a lot of people here, but we don't have mooncake tickets."

Regarding mooncakes, since this year, they have been restricted, and they are still very restrictive.

Therefore, it is estimated that it is some units like independent small kingdoms, such as farms in the Northeast, etc., so that these units may secretly distribute moon cakes.

There are too many people in a large unit like the design institute, and it is impossible for the canteen to make mooncakes and distribute them to everyone.

Therefore, two large pears were distributed to each person a few days ago, which was barely a festival.

In the year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Mid-Autumn Festival in the south had not yet been liberated, but in the southernmost city, major restaurants and cake merchants started a mooncake sales war.

Bonsai is placed in front of the store, and newspapers are advertised, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and there are still very few people who buy cakes and give gifts.

After the festival, all kinds of moon cakes are piled up.

In the year of the Northern War, the most popular thing was the moon cake mold for aiding Korea.

The whole mold is hand-carved from a piece of brown square hardwood, and the groove diameter is about 12 centimeters, which is larger than the mooncakes on the market.

In 1954, the "People's Daily" published a notice that the China Food Company BJ City Company and the BJ City Supply and Marketing Cooperative had prepared a large number of Mid-Autumn Festival food for the people of the capital.

In August of that year, the buyer of the Chinese food company BJ City Company set off to Gansu and NMG grasslands in the northwest region to purchase cattle and sheep.

Apples from the northeast, bananas from the south, etc., were shipped to the capital.

The Beijing Federation of Supply and Marketing Cooperatives has purchased and organized the processing of a number of meat, fish, fruits, moon cakes and other foods.

In addition, in order to facilitate the purchase of holiday food by citizens, the urban supply and marketing cooperatives have also set up some temporary fruit stalls and meat stalls.

However, this year, in 1958, the prosperity of the past is gone.

Mooncakes need to be purchased with a ticket, and the restrictions are extremely strict.

I haven't been to Pigeon Market for many years, and naturally I can't get mooncake tickets.

Qin Huairu was ignorant about these things, but she knew that many small details in life were different from the past.

For example, she can only raise two chickens, for example, she can't eat commercial grain with a rural hukou, and for example, her children can only be like her in the future, which is a rural hukou.

She doesn't know when the above policy was issued, but when she wants to do something, someone will always tell her that this can't be done and that one should be done.

Just like moon cakes, if she hadn't gone out and seen it today, she would have thought that the people in the city were the same as the countryside in Qinjiagou, and there would be no moon cakes to eat during the holidays.

"Do you want to eat mooncakes?"

When Qin Huairu was still shocked and lamented by the scene of so many people buying moon cakes just now, suddenly many years next to her asked her a question.

She subconsciously said of course she wanted to, and then immediately came back to her senses, looked at many years and hurriedly defended:

"No, Brother Anian, I don't want to, in fact, I don't like to eat moon cakes, and moon cakes are not delicious"

She tries to prove that she is not a gluttonous daughter-in-law by belittling mooncakes.

If she thinks she is greedy and wants everything for many years, then she really cries to death.

When I was a child, my family made mooncakes a few times, but they were all homemade and used the cheapest ingredients.

Take saccharin, for example!

Many people may not know about saccharin, but this thing is really cheap.

Last time Qin Huairu went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy sugar, he asked about the price.

White sugar costs eight cents and eight cents a pound, brown sugar costs six cents and five cents a pound, and even breaking Cuban sugar costs four cents and nine cents a pound.

The price of saccharin is only a dime a bag.

Saccharin was discovered by scientists at Johns Hopkins University in the 19th century.

And in the two world wars, due to the shortage of sugar, saccharin was able to spread.

However, later through animal experiments, it was found that saccharin can cause bladder cancer in animal rats, saccharin and its salts are in the list of third class carcinogens, and eating saccharin is harmful to human health.

Saccharin is an organic chemical product, an additive to food rather than a food, and has no nutritional value to the human body except for causing a feeling of sweetness in taste.

Qin Huairu didn't understand these things when she was a child, but the last time she bought a bag of saccharin and came back, she was popularized by science for many years.

That's when I discovered the dangers of saccharin and why it's so cheap.

After crying and laughing for many years, he interrupted Qin Huairu's explanation and said:

"Okay, so many people are watching, I'm not a stingy ghost, what I just meant was that we buy the ingredients and go back to make our own mooncakes to eat, you don't like to eat, I still like to eat it."

She breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at him suspiciously, "Really? ”

"Well, why am I lying to you? Let's go buy materials."

"But Brother Anian, the ingredients for moon cakes are very expensive, they require a lot of oil and sugar."

Listening to her snapping her little finger and counting the materials, many years were full of distress.

White noodles are still available at home, so you don't need to buy them

Before she could finish speaking, many years had already dragged her forward.

When I came to the place where sugar was sold, I took out a one-pound sugar ticket and nine one-dime bills for many years, and handed them to the staff:

"Hello comrade, please help me weigh a pound of sugar."

The staff didn't talk nonsense, just looked for two cents for many years, and then began to weigh them.

Qin Huairu, who was following him, did not speak, but his eyes were full of curiosity.

Brother Ah Nian is so good to me.

After buying the sugar, he carried the white sugar wrapped in paper for many years, and said to Qin Huairu with a smile:

"The sugar has been bought, we can't afford to buy oil, but we can use animal oil instead, let's go, see if there is any pork."

In this era, each person will be issued a monthly oil ticket, and three taels of edible oil can be purchased with the ticket, and each household will be issued an additional "holiday subsidy oil ticket" during the Spring Festival, and one tael of sesame oil can be purchased.

The oil ticket is two in the land market, and it is also six taels of oil, and the quota cannot be changed.

In the family for many years, only one person can get an oil ticket per month for many years, and Qin Huairu is a rural household registration and can't get it.

Or to put it this way, Qin Huairu is not qualified for all the in-demand materials that need to be sold and purchased.

All the unified sales and shopping materials that she now enjoys are her personal share for many years.

Since this year, the residents' grain shopping card, that is, the grain book, has had one for many years, but Qin Huairu has not.

If you are poor, you will think about change!

Qin Huairu's eyes lit up when he heard the words of many years, and when he followed him to the pork sales area, he was still worried:

"Brother Anian, do we still have meat tickets?"

Of course there is!

For many years, he comforted her, saying that he still had it on him, don't worry, it must be enough.

Originally, there was no more, but in the early hours of this morning, more than 300 catties of food stamps came from the corpses of the two little devils, and there were a lot of meat stamps, food stamps, and so on.

Of course, there are not many fuel tickets, only three in total, so they have not been used for many years.

When the two came to this area, they didn't know if it was the reason for tomorrow's holiday, but they happened to come up again with the last half of the big fat pigs.

It is said to be a fat pig, but it is not very fat, and the last side of this is about 130 catties.

Remove more than ten catties of lard, that is, more than 110 catties.

But in the era when there was no feed, such pigs were already considered very obese.

As soon as the pork was put on the shelves, it was immediately rushed by people.

For many years, he couldn't take care of his image, so he let Qin Huairu stand behind, and he took the lead in squeezing in by relying on his physical advantage.

"Comrade, bring me ten catties of meat!"

Airplanes!

Everybody's stunned, who? So arrogant?

The 1958 meat ticket, whose full name is the Jingcheng Meat Purchase Certificate, served only four varieties: pork, beef, mutton and eggs.

That's right, eggs are meat too!

The meat tickets that have been taken out for many years are common to the whole country, and in terms of value, they are higher than local meat tickets.

It is the favorite of many comrades who often go out on business, and it is also the best-selling ticket in the pigeon market.

The meat ticket is not on the grain book, that is, it does not need to be purchased through the grain book.

The food cost is limited to oil, grain and other materials, which also need tickets to buy, but pork only needs meat tickets.

It is not difficult to see from here that grain, oil and non-staple food are more in short supply.

Even so, buying ten catties of pork at one time is considered by many people to be a very wealthy family.

Either it's a big family, or who buys meat for ten catties and ten catties?

The staff was also slightly surprised, and then took the meat tickets and money for many years, and then began to divide the meat.

In this era, when buying meat, you will put some lard or fatty meat on it, and try to be fair and just.

In addition, I am afraid that in the end, only lean meat will be sold, and it will not be easy to sell.

Because everyone is short of oil and water, when buying meat, I like fatty meat the most.

Everything came first and came first, and for many years he was in the middle, and when it was his turn, the staff gave him the rest of the lard.

The remaining lard is about more than a catty, less than two catties.

Then the staff cut more than eight catties of hind leg meat for him.

The hind leg meat is not too fat, but more lean.

But it doesn't matter, there are eight catties of meat in total, and if you count it, you can at least divide nearly one and a half catties of fat.

In this way, there will be three catties of fat, and a lot of oil can be refined by then.

However, just when he was happily taking the pork for many years, he was intercepted by someone who suddenly rushed in next to him.

"Comrade, can you give me five catties of meat? I'm really short of oil."

Zhou Guoping was out of breath, but the pork he was carrying in his hand did not let go.

He was really unlucky today, his daughter-in-law was going to buy mooncakes this morning.

The result was poured, and when I opened the box, the mooncake tickets inside were gone.

If you don't have a mooncake ticket, you can't buy mooncakes, so how can you have a good relationship with the leaders above?

If you don't worship Buddha on holidays, do you wait for people to retire or ascend before worshipping?

And if you don't worship the leader once, people will remember it.

Therefore, after Zhou Guoping went home at noon and learned about it, he hurried to the department store to buy materials and prepare to do it himself.

However, all the materials were bought, except for the lack of oil.

Today's edible oil is in short supply, not only in department stores, but also in supply and marketing cooperatives.

Probably because tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many people buying on these two days.

Originally, the supply of grain and oil was very tight, and he couldn't transfer so much oil for a while, and he happened to be caught up by Zhou Guoping.

In addition, he still has to rush to buy the materials and go home to make moon cakes, and visit the leader tonight as soon as possible.

Time is of the essence!

If there is no oil, then animal oil can only be used instead.

Coincidentally, when he arrived, he only saw this large piece of meat in his hand for many years.

Immediately, he decided to grab it first.

The scene was a little chaotic in an instant, and many people were scolding Zhou Guoping, because when he squeezed through the crowd, he worked very hard.

In addition, Zhou Guoping is still a fat man, and the impact is very strong, which hurts everyone.

He apologized to the crowd of onlookers, and then carried the pork for many years to discuss, while the other hand pulled the meat ticket out of his pocket.

The latter frowned, he could get into trouble buying some meat, and he was really a narrow road.

It's just that looking at Zhou Guoping's appearance, it is obvious that he has forgotten him for many years.

However, when he hadn't spoken for many years, Zhou Guoping suddenly said:

"This comrade, have we met before? I think you're a little familiar, you're so young, aren't you a buyer in any unit? ”

Zhou Guoping was originally a clerk in the sales department of the Beijing Liulihe Cement Factory, and most of the people he dealt with were purchasers of construction units.

In other words, he is Party A, and everyone else is Party B.
