Chapter 8: Being Beaten and Being Beaten
After coming out of the tailor's shop, Fang Yuan came to the street and first went to a nearby blacksmith shop, where he wanted to buy an iron pot.
Fortunately, he didn't need a ticket to buy a pot, which also made Fang Yuan breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to buy a pot.
In addition to the pot, Fang Yuan also had to buy a kitchen knife, which was an indispensable thing in the kitchen.
In addition, I have to buy an axe, Fang Yuan is going to use it to chop firewood, it is about to enter winter, and I need to prepare a lot of firewood.
Finally, Fang Yuan bought another brick knife, and he planned to build a small room above the vegetable cellar, to be precise, to cover the entrance of the vegetable cellar.
In the winter of this era, it often snows heavily, and in winter, it is likely that there will be snow all winter, and if there is no cover-up, it will be easy to be discovered by others.
A kitchen knife, an axe, and a brick knife cost a total of two cents for a square circle, the kitchen knife is five cents, the axe is four cents and five, and the brick knife is two cents and five.
Then I spent two cents to buy a bamboo basket in the shop next to the blacksmith and put these things in it.
After buying these, Fang Yuan went to buy bowls and chopsticks again, and when he passed by a non-staple food store, he saw the dim sum sold inside, Fang Yuan swallowed his saliva and left quickly.
No way, he doesn't have a dim sum ticket, and you have to use a ticket to buy dim sum, otherwise he won't sell it to you for any money.
It's sixty years now, and the most expensive thing is grain, but Fang Yuan doesn't know about it now, because he hasn't bought grain yet.
It is now the year of 60, and it is also the most serious year of the three-year difficult period, as for how the three-year difficult period came about, many people say that it is a natural disaster, but in fact, the real statement should be a man-made disaster.
To put it bluntly, it was because of the exaggerated style, which eventually led to the peasants leaving only a small amount of grain, or even no grain, and handing over all the grain to the public grain.
This led to the fact that there was no grain to grow in the end, and at this time, the state was paying off Lao Maozi's account, and the grain was also shipped to Lao Maozi.
At that time, the exaggeration was really too serious, what three years to surpass the British, five years to catch up with the United States, everyone stopped working, and bragged every day about how much grain they had in the field.
You say that one mu of land is worth 1,000 catties, and he dares to say 2,000 catties, and in the end, there will even be tens of thousands of catties per mu.
And the real one, not to mention that the yield per mu is tens of thousands of catties, hundreds of catties are difficult, until how many years later, after the popularization of chemical fertilizers, the yield per mu is only seven or eight hundred catties.
The words of eating cotton and gnawing tree bark in later generations only found out that it was true after coming to this era, especially after he received the memory of this body, it became clearer.
Of course, this is talking about the countryside, and it is much better in the cities, because in the cities they eat commercial grain, and everyone has a ration every month.
Of course, this ration is not much, but it will definitely not starve people to death, and you can also use food stamps to buy it after eating the ration.
Fang Yuan did have food stamps in his hand, but he was not short of food now, so he would not buy it, but there was one thing he lacked, and that was oil.
Fang Yuan has a gas ticket, and there are seven catties, but he brought half a catty when he came out this time, it's not that he is reluctant to buy it, but he doesn't dare.
Seven catties of oil tickets, that's a lot, many families don't have so much for two or three years, how dare he take out so much at once, isn't he looking for something for himself?
"Hello, Auntie! Coming to a supply and marketing cooperative, Fang Yuan said to the salesperson.
Let a man in his forties call a woman in her twenties an aunt, to be honest, it is really embarrassing for him, but there is no way, who made him only eight years old now.
"Buy oil?" The salesman was stunned for a moment and looked at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan still didn't understand what was going on, and hurriedly took out the gas ticket from his pocket and handed it to the salesman.
The salesman took it and took a look, it was half a catty of fuel ticket, looked at Fang Yuan in surprise and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get it for you." ”
In addition to the national grain stamps, other stamps belong to local governments, such as the imperial capital, and all the bills are issued by various bureaus in the imperial capital.
For example, non-staple food, all of which are printed by the Imperial Capital Non-staple Food Business Bureau, grain and oil, are printed by the Food Bureau, and cloth stamps, small commodities and other things are printed by the Material Bureau.
Because at this time, it was all a planned economy, and as many votes were printed as much as something was produced, of course, this ticket was the same as the money, and in the end it was back to the printing unit.
When it is reproduced, there is no need to print it, just send out the recovered tickets again.
Soon the salesman came out with a small bottle, which was the kind of hanging bottle that filled half a catty, which was the kind of bottle that the hospital used to infuse water into patients.
Because this kind of bottle has a rubber cap, after the lid is very tight, it will never be spilled, this is oil! It is distressing to sprinkle at all.
"How much?" asked Fang Yuan, taking the oil.
"Sanmao. ”
Fang Yuan hurriedly took out three cents from his pocket and handed it over, all he brought when he came out this time were gross tickets, and he didn't dare to take a big ticket.
There is no way, at this time, you have to be careful everywhere, because if you are not careful, it is likely to be a catastrophe, which is definitely not a joke.
After buying the oil, Fang Yuan looked up at the position of the sun, and it was still early, so he was ready to walk around the street.
The city is not like Qinghe, there are not even people on the street, it is very lively, and there is a long queue at the door of the grocery store, all waiting for people to buy non-staple food.
The streets were also full of people, Fang Yuan carried a small iron pot on his back and a bamboo basket on his arm, although it looked very funny, it was inconspicuous.
Speaking of eyes, it's the patched clothes he wears, but no one seems to pay special attention to him.
"Stop!"
Just as Fang Yuan was wandering aimlessly, a loud shout sounded in front of him, and Fang Yuan withdrew his gaze from the shops on both sides and looked ahead of him.
"What are you looking at?"
It was a little boy who was not much older than Fang Yuan, at most a year or two older!
Behind this boy, there are two boys, who seem to belong to the kind of followers at first glance, and the one that the other party is drinking is estimated to be the head of the two of them.
The boy in the lead was dressed in olive green, which looked like he had been converted from a military uniform, and he also wore a locomotive hat.
Wearing this kind of hat at this time is said to be pretending to be 13 in later generations, because it is not so cold at all now.
In addition to these, this guy also carried a school bag with a five-pointed star and a military kettle on the left and right.
If you put an armed belt around your waist, it's even more like that.
The two guys behind him were similar to him, except that they didn't wear a locomotive hat and a schoolbag or kettle.
"What's the matter with you?" Fang Yuan didn't want to cause trouble, after all, he was a newcomer, and he was a local.
Isn't there that old saying! The strong dragon does not suppress the earth-headed snake, in Fang Yuan's eyes, these three boys belong to the category of earth-headed snakes.
"What's in your basket?"
Of course, the basket contained kitchen knives, axes and brick knives, as well as a bottle of oil, and in order not to attract attention, he found an old newspaper at the supply and marketing cooperatives and covered it.
Unexpectedly, it didn't attract the attention of adults, but it attracted the attention of a few children, which made Fang Yuan a little crying and laughing.
Obviously, it is estimated that these children thought that Fang Yuan's basket contained food, so they stopped him, which was normal at this time.
However, Fang Yuan didn't want to cause trouble, but he wasn't afraid of things, besides, it was just three children, Fang Yuan really didn't care about it.
Anyway, he also lived to be in his forties in his previous life, and if these three children were five or six years older than him, he would really think about it, but the other party was one or two years older than him, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
"What's the matter with you?" Fang Yuan gave the other party a roll of his eyes.
"What did you say?" the guy in the locomotive hat thought he had misheard.
Also, Fang Yuan looked younger than them at first glance, and his age was so horizontal, how could he not think that he had heard it wrong.
"What did I say about you!" Fang Yuan repeated.
What happened between the children did not attract the attention of the adults passing by.
This is normal, no matter when, it is common for children to fight.
Hearing Fang Yuan say this, the guy wearing the locomotive hat punched over, Fang Yuan sneered, and then turned around.
As soon as he turned around, the guy wearing the locomotive hat was unlucky, don't forget, Fang Yuan was carrying an iron pot on his back, the pot at this time was not as thin as in later generations, but a very thick one.
"Bang!" the locomotive hat punched the pot.
"Ahh
A scream sounded from behind Fang Yuan, and when Fang Yuan glanced back, he saw the locomotive hat jumping while shaking his hand.
Fang Yuan smiled at him, and then ran away, of course, he didn't really run, but entered the alley next to him.
Because it's a bit inappropriate to clean them up on the main road, it's better to go into the alley, at least not to be seen.
The three guys saw Fang Yuan running into the alley, and chased after him directly, they lived nearby, they were very familiar with the neighborhood, and when they saw the alley that Fang Yuan entered, they knew that it was a dead end.
Fang Yuan didn't know that this was a dead end, but for him, it didn't matter what the alley was, because he just didn't want to clean them up in public.
He didn't run far after entering the alley, and when he reached the end of the alley, Fang Yuan stopped, and at this time, the three guys also caught up.
Seeing that Fang Yuan had stopped, the guy in the locomotive hat rubbed his hands and said, "Run! Why don't you run?"
Fang Yuan smiled, put the basket on the ground, and then took the newspaper in the basket away, and came out with an axe in one hand and a knife in the other.
Seeing what Fang Yuan was holding in his hand, the faces of the three guys turned green, and one of them even took two steps back.
"Don't move, rob. Fang Yuan smiled after speaking.
Although his smile was not terrifying at all, in the eyes of these three guys, Fang Yuan's smile was terrifying, making their legs a little weak.
Fang Yuan walked towards the three guys, and when they saw Fang Yuan coming, the three guys hurriedly retreated.
