Chapter 013: The same people don't have a different life

The young woman was immediately happy, "Words count!" ”

Waving her hand to send the young woman away, Jiang Shiyue stuffed nineteen yuan and ten catties of food stamps into her pocket, and said to Yang Yang arrogantly: "Let's go, let's have a big meal!" ”

said that it was a big meal, and the food stamps and money in his pocket made Jiang Shiyue not very confident to choose a small roadside restaurant.

The restaurant is not big, but the name is not small. The signboard reads four big words: People's Hotel.

Jiang Shiyue still stood aside first to observe how others ordered.

Not all dishes in this restaurant require food stamps, but mainly staple foods.

For example, Yangchun noodles, if there are two taels of food stamps, it will cost eight cents, and if there are no food stamps, it will cost one dime and two cents.

The Yangchun noodles here are just noodles and a little green onion.

Vegetable noodle soup costs a dime and a half. Vegetable noodle soup is a bit like topping noodles, where freshly fried spinach or tofu is poured over the noodles.

Peach blossom noodles cost three cents and eight cents a bowl, and you have to ask for three taels of food stamps. The noodles will be topped with a piece of braised pork that is one inch wide and two inches long, two croquettes, and a seasoning soup.

Oily meat and mushu meat are four cents and three dishes. Soda is a dime a bottle.

Jiang Shiyue pointed to the wooden sign hanging above the cash register and asked Yangyang, "What do you want to eat?" ”

Yang Yang raised his head and glanced at it, then lowered his head again.

"I almost forgot, you're too young to read." Jiang Shiyue patted her forehead and ordered her own food: "A plate of pork segments, two taels of spring noodles, a plate of braised pork, and a plate of celery fried meat." ”

The people around looked at Jiang Shiyue in unison, as if she had two big words "loser" written on her head.

The pork section is eight cents and six cents for a plate, the braised pork is five cents, and the celery fried pork is three cents plus two taels of shredded pork noodles, a total of seven cents and eight cents.

Jiang Shiyue didn't care what others thought, she would eat first and then talk about it. She specially asked for a plate for Yangyang to divide the dishes.

Count out five pieces of braised pork for him, and then give him a piece of meat when he finishes eating. Then the potatoes in the braised pork were given three pieces, five pieces of celery.

Yang Yang finished eating the same Jiang Shiyue Clip, because she was afraid that the odd number plus the singular number equaled the double number would also commit Yangyang's taboo.

When it was time to eat the staple food, Jiang Shiyue made a difficulty, and the noodles couldn't be counted to him one by one, right?

Jiang Shiyue was entangled for a while, decided not to embarrass herself, and pushed the bowl in front of Yangyang, "Yangyang, keep as many noodles as you eat, and give me the rest." ”

Since Yang Yang can count, counting noodles will definitely not be difficult for him.

Yang Yang glanced up at Jiang Shiyue, pushed the whole bowl in front of Jiang Shiyue, and looked down at his stomach.

Jiang Shiyue lowered her head, saw her round little belly, and understood that he was full.

Only then did he begin to feed himself to the Five Organs Temple.

An ordinary bowl of shredded pork noodles actually feels better than a Michelin-starred chef's meal.

After eating and drinking, Jiang Shiyue also packed a meat platter to take away.

A pork platter is a meat dish with a bowl of beer and two taels of rice, for a total of one dollar.

After lunch, Jiang Shiyue did not rush back to the black market to sell clothes, but went to a nearby bookstore to buy teaching materials first.

She thought about it carefully, and she still had to take the college entrance examination.

The spring breeze of reform only begins to blow at the end of the year, and it blows from the south to the north, and it will take a year and a half before there is a way to make money.

It's better to be admitted to university first.

The college entrance examination was temporarily resumed in the winter of 77, and it has only been half a year now, and this time the college entrance examination is the real resumption of the college entrance examination.

So people always say that the college entrance examination was restored in 78.

For about ten years ago, there were not many review materials related to the college entrance examination in the bookstore, and occasionally there were sporadic and very expensive.

At least for the current Jiang Shiyue, the college entrance examination review materials for eight cents a book are too luxurious.

Jiang Shiyue was about to lead Yang Yang away, but when she saw Yang Yang's eyes fall on the book next to her, she bent down and asked him, "Do you like it?" Then choose two copies that you like, and we bought them, okay? ”

Yang Yang's fingers curled up and looked up at Jiang Shiyue.

Jiang Shiyue smiled and encouraged.

Yang Yang hesitated for a while and picked up a copy of "Xinhua Dictionary".

Jiang Shiyue: "......"

A genius is a genius, and the enlightenment books are selected differently from ordinary children.

Jiang Shiyue did not hesitate to spend a piece of four cents and six cents to buy this Xinhua dictionary.

led Yangyang to the nearby college entrance examination registration point and took the letter of introduction to register.

He took the food stamp given by the first customer and bought ten catties of white flour for two yuan.

According to the quality, the flour ranged from about one dime and eight cents to two cents and two cents a catty, and Jiang Shiyue picked a little medium.

In addition, I also bought half a catty of brown sugar, half a catty of white sugar, half a catty of hard candy and a box of dim sum in the grocery store, which cost a total of eight cents and two.

Of the twenty-five yuan in hand, most of it was gone after a turn, and there were still ten dollars and nine cents left. plus the five cents registration fee given by Chen Shanhe minus the two cents for the black market ticket money, there are still eleven two cents and four cents in total.

Jiang Shiyue stacked the banknotes one by one according to the face value, stuffed them into her pocket very rarely, and muttered, "No matter what era, it's hard to eat and hard to make money!" ”

The feeling of holding a piece of banknotes in your hand is completely different from the feeling of scanning the code to pay decades later, which is particularly realistic.

Jiang Shiyue put all the things she bought in the car and took a few sets of clothes to the black market.

But you can't meet a buyer for a long time.

Although clothing, food, housing and transportation come first, in fact, as long as you are not naked, everyone is more concerned about whether your stomach can be full.

In addition, Jiang Shiyue observed that ordinary people exchanged fine grains for coarse grains and eggs and hens for coarse grains, and almost no one was interested in her clothes.

Jiang Shiyue also tried to actively sell clothes to some people who were dressed and looked like they were not bad for money.

These people either directly and simply stated that they did not buy second-hand clothes, or said that Jiang Shiyue's clothes were all out of season and did not want.

To put it simply, those who have no money can't afford it, and those who have money can't afford it.

Jiang Shiyue saw the embarrassing situation of her clothes clearly, so she wanted to close the stall and go home.

Before leaving, she took a set of clothes from the previous year and gave them to the old woman who sold meat. The old woman was embarrassed to take advantage of Jiang Shiyue and gave her some lard.

The lard was not worth much, and the old woman thought about it and gave her a few catties of pork ribs and four pig's trotters.

The pork ribs are five cents and sixty-one pounds, and the pig's trotters are cheaper.

Because in 78 years, most people are still short of food and clothing, and occasionally buy meat and like to buy big fat meat to satisfy their hunger.

Everyone doesn't like lean meat, and even less like ribs with only bits and pieces of meat hanging from the bones.

But big bones are nutritious products, and you have to open a prescription to buy them.

Jiang Shiyue felt that it was not bad to barter clothes that could not be sold, so she exchanged some eggs with the egg seller.

Eggs are sold for 7 cents a piece, and she asked for twenty, which is equivalent to a set of clothes being sold for a piece of four, which is considered a half gift.

By the time Jiang Shiyue led Yangyang back to the car, most of the sisters-in-law had already returned to the car.

The people who were laughing were instantly silent, and their eyes fell into the bamboo basket on Jiang Shiyue's arm, and then their expressions were different.

A sister-in-law said in a strange manner: "It's really the same life!" Some people have good lives! Come out to buy clothes or food! ”
