章節 15: Chapter 15 - Long-term Meat Coupons
Although the food had been harvested now and the overall situation had stabilized, there was still some final work to be done.
After breakfast, Mother Zhou brought the two boys with her to peel corn.
The corn gets peeled, threshed, then dried, and then sent to complete the final payment to the state.
The day that all grain got handed over was the day of food distribution, which was what everyone waiting for.
Especially the pig killing after splitting the grain.
Of course, winter wheat will be planted before the pork is divided.
But these have nothing to do with Lin Qing He, so she left with no burden at all.
Using her impression, she walked along the road toward the town's supply and demand cooperatives.
Although the supply and demand cooperatives in the communal town cannot compare with those in the county city, it still had many things, such as rice, oil, soy sauce, and vinegar.
But they all need ration coupons. The original owner bought them before. There were bottles at home and she washed them a few days earlier to contain the goods that were taken out of the space. So she didn't lack this seasoning.
Fresh edible fungus
With a subsidiary food coupon, she came to buy half a jin of dried edible fungus, as well as half a jin dried seaweed.
After browsing the things nearby, there was nothing she wants.
In fact, the main reason for this trip was to come and walk around, otherwise, how can she explain the materials in my hand?
But toothbrushes, washbasins, and basins had to be bought.
First, get a toothbrush for Da Wa and Er Wa. There was still some toothpaste at home, their mother's leftover. She can use the stock in the space herself.
She didn't plan to buy the washbasin and the basin this time. It was too hard for her to carry it back on such a long distance. She had other plans.
After buying a toothbrush and toothpaste, she headed to the slaughterhouse in the community suburbs according to her memory.
The slaughterhouse on the outskirts of the community was a very small type, and the community applied for it last year. Otherwise, the slaughterhouse was only available in the county city.
However, Lin Qing He just wanted to come to the suburban area and try her luck. In fact, she also wanted to go through the motion. After all, she didn't think she could buy meat at this time.
And what luck she had. She arrived there in an hour and happened to chance upon a Dajie who came out carrying the meat from inside. Lin Qing He immediately stepped up and asked: "Dajie, did you come to buy meat?"
"Yeah, you too? But did you make a reservation? If you didn't make an appointment, then there's nothing." Dajie gave her a glance and pointed out haughtily.
Lin Qing He observed her blue work clothes and knew that this person knew people. She smiled and said, "Dajie, I'm from the country, how could I have your kind of connection? Just don't know if Sister can make it convenient?" Looking around, she made sure no one was around and took a five liang food coupon out.
For those working in the commune who eat supplied food, food coupons were more important than money. Without food coupons, one cannot buy food even if one had money.
This Dajie's age was already in her thirties, so she must have children at home. And at this age, the children are usually at the age with great appetite.
Toward food coupons that weren't from dishonest sources delivered to their doorstep, how could she not refuse? They just have to do the matter well.
"Meizi, just say something if you need something. Dajie can help you for sure, don't be polite." Even if it was just a five liang food ticket, Dajie's tone also eased.
"I know, but I'm from the country. I can buy food without this food ticket. In a few days, there'll be food distribution. I just have to go to the production team to buy it. My man is a soldier. He can't finish these and send them to me. It's basically useless for me to keep." Lin Qing He explained a bit.
Then she went directly to the main point: "The children at home are craving for meat. Truthfully, the team will divide the meat in a few days. But which mother is willing to see her child crave so much? So, I want to come and take a chance."
When Dajie heard the words, she was relieved. As mothers, they really have their children on their minds.
"Dajie, I can see at a glance that you are a helpful samaritan. Can you see if you have any acquaintances? I don't need much. Just half a jin of leftover is enough. I don't have a meat coupon, but I can give more. What do you think? "Lin Qing He stuffed the food coupon over as she talked.
"Big Meizi, you also dotes on kids. I will go in and check for you." This Dajie calmly accepted the food coupon and nodded.
"Alright." Lin Qing He nodded.
Dajie went in for about five minutes before she came out and then announced: "Big Meizi, since you don't have a coupon. it'll be nine point five per jin. If you have a coupon, you can pay seven. Big Meizi, it'll be more expensive without a coupon. How much do you want to buy?"
"Then Dajie, can you go in and get me half a jin. And on the way, if you see any big bones or something, please called the master to weigh some for me." Lin Qing He said and passed some money to Dajie.
"Then I will buy it for you." Said Dajie.
Then she went in and bought the meat, and soon she carried out the meat for Lin Qing He. Half jin of meat, the fatty kind. There were also ribs, big bones, and marrow bones. At this age, only big fat meat was the most popular. Other ones with bones were very cheap.
There are many, but they were for Lin Qing He.
Lin Qing He didn't accept the change of half a yuan.
"Dajie, at your age, nephew and niece must be growing up. Buy them more food and don't let them be hungry." Lin Qing He said.
"Big Meizi, you are too polite." This Dajie directly returned the half yuan to her. She had already gotten a food coupon from her, so she didn't want her money.
Lin Qing He's mind moved and smiled, "Dajie, I feel kindred to you. My name is Lin Qing He, from Zhou Jia Village. My man is a soldier, the only soldier in Zhou Jia Village. You will know once you inquire."
Seeing her announce her family status, Chen Mei returned a smile and introduced herself. She also had a good impression of Lin Qing He.
"The three boys at home are really greedy. Thankfully Mei Jie has a wide range of connections, otherwise, I don't know if I can buy some back this time." Lin Qing He gratefully expressed.
"Meizi, you're so young, and you have three children?" Sister Mei was surprised.
"I married at the age of seventeen and gave birth at the age of eighteen. The oldest one is now five years old. After the new year, he should be counted as six years old." Lin Qing He warmly smiled.
"I really can't tell," Mei Jie said.
"Mei Jie, you work in the Community's Supply and Demand Cooperative. If I come again, can I find you?" Lin Qing He asked.
"Sure, if you need anything, you can go to me. I can definitely help you if I can help. However, this time a master in the slaughterhouse gave his share to you, otherwise it would not be so much. Unless you book in advance, and you have to come early." Mei Jie disclosed to her.
These words weren't false. At this time, the meat was not easy to get, and there was a fixed quota.
Lin Qing He quickly agreed.
She didn't expect this trip to be so smooth and found herself a 'long-term meat ticket'. With Mei Jie, she had a source for the meat in her space.
Lin Qing He mentally calculated again. Truthfully, a lot of things were missing now.
For example, she still needed a stove. In this era, there was a coal stove, which can be used to hold a small pot. In her space, she contained the two old-fashioned double-ear iron pots and the two old casserole pots she bought.
It can also be used in this era, and say it was bought on the black market. Who would investigate so much? Because they are all old-style, very in line with the shape of this era, so she wasn't afraid of being investigated.
