Bai Fumei in the ’70s

8 Chapter 008

Zhao Lanxiang went to Qinghe Town to buy a pound of pork. A new batch of rich and strong flour was added to the grain station. The residents of the town lined up a long dragon before dawn.Zhao Lanxiang couldn't buy it before finishing.She had enough money in her pocket, but there was no place to spend it, which made Zhao Lanxiang, who was used to buying it for later generations, quite uncomfortable.

Zhou Jiazhen said: "I have no more flourishes, can I buy other ones?"

When I came to the county, I needed to pay for Sanmao's ticket to and from Liumao.She could not bear to spend the money in vain, and she couldn't hurt Zhao Lanxiang's meat.

In the end, Zhao Lanxiang did not care about good or bad, and bought a bag of construction powder.The country distinguishes the quality of flour according to gluten content and fineness. Fuqiang flour is the best, equivalent to No. 1 flour, followed by construction flour.

She gave the 30-jin food stamp to the salesperson. In addition to the money and food stamp, she also handed over a small book to the head of the grain station.

In the 1970s, there was no decent food sales on the market, which were all purchased and sold by the state.Non-agricultural household registrations in cities and towns are divided according to headcount, while rural household registrations are divided by production teams at the end of the year.Before going to the countryside, Feng Lian was worried that the cents her daughter was likely to earn were not enough to feed herself, so she handed over her grain and oil supply to her daughter.

She can distribute thirty-five kilograms of food every month, and the treatment is very good.Generally, the average monthly food distributed by the residents in the city ranges from 30 to 35 kg.Feng Lian's school has good welfare, and has increased the monthly salary of five pounds for the old employees.

Last month, Zhao Lanxiang consumed 30 pounds of food, and after eating 20 pounds, saved 10 pounds.The five-jin share of the surplus grain and oil lent to Zhou Jiazhen.

Zhao Lanxiang bought 30 pounds of flour in one breath, which made Zhou Jiazhen take a breath.

Zhao Lanxiang is definitely the most generous rich man Zhou Jiazhen has ever seen. She always buys food without blinking, and she eats flowers everywhere. Every time she comes to town, she buys pork, and she loves to pick thin people. buy.You should know that fat meat is much more valuable than lean meat. Fat meat can be squeezed oil, and it is delicious. The fried meat is crispy and tender.However, Zhao Lanxiang wanted to buy pork and oil separately, so he was very particular.

But when it was time to buy pork, the lavish "rich man" Zhao Lanxiang found that she wanted to eat meat at the speed she had yesterday, and soon the meat ticket sent by her parents would bottom out, her brows twisted invisible stand up.

In fact, it wasn't that Zhao Yongqing and Feng Lian gave enough shares, but that Zhao Lanxiang's appetite seemed to be quite different from the past. After coming to the country, she ate a little bit of meat to resolve the greed.Of course, it is economical for Zhao Lanxiang, who eats meat in later generations, but compared to the 18-year-old Zhao Lanxiang, who is used to lacking supplies and what to eat, it seems to be extravagant and wasteful.

Zhou Jiazhen saw Zhao Lanxiang raise footsteps again and walked to the grocery store, quickly grabbing her: "I still buy pork, did you finish all those yesterday?"

Zhao Lanxiang replied: "It's finished."

Although the meat ticket cost her much more, she was grieving, but the worms in her stomach had groaned loudly.Live alive, live three times a day.In the past, 18-year-old Zhao Lanxiang didn't even see the world. Now Zhao Lanxiang is an old man who has gone through decades of vicissitudes. The conservative savings in his bones have been thoroughly changed by the spirit of the new era.

In the end, she cut boldly... a pound of meat went back, half a catty pig intestine and half a catty pig's feet.

Zhou Jiazhen watched "Gao Zhao" bought pork, and then turned to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some cloves, nutmeg, star anise, cinnamon, etc. spices, soy sauce, liquor, vinegar, etc. also bought some.Zhao Lanxiang folds the listed shopping list steadily in his pocket.Too many things to buy, she was afraid that she would forget.

Although Zhao Lanxiang in her last life was the one who didn't touch Yang Chunshui, but in order to please Jiang Jianjun, she was a military sister-in-law who was a virtuous Shuliang. Delicious meals.As time went on, her hands were gradually ground into cocoons, her palms became rough, and the food she cooked was not good in the entire courtyard.The oil heated the pan, and the smell overflowing from the kitchen caught everyone's mouth.

Later, Zhao Lanxiang married He Songbai, and the He family also had a big foodie, and the two happened to be together.As soon as the weekend ended, the He family kitchen was filled with fragrance, and He Songbai was fed by her all around.

She listed more than 30 kinds of spices on the list and searched everywhere to get only a small part of the list.Zhao Lanxiang is not discouraged. After all, the economic conditions and material levels in the county are far inferior to those in the city. It is good to be able to buy half of it.

Zhao Lanxiang's trip was full of return. Zhou Jiazhen also piggybacked two feet of cloth to prepare for summer clothes.The conditions of her family are incomparable to that of Zhao Lanxiang, but she has a good attitude. She has saved a small sum of money for many years after going to the countryside, and has no worry about food and clothing.

It's just that reaching the age of marriage, Zhou Jiazhen, who has never been bored and frustrated, is worried for the first time.

Is she really going to take her roots in the village?

She glanced at Zhao Lanxiang, who returned to the brigade satisfactorily with the big bag, and envied her youth and vitality for the first time.

...

Zhou Jiazhen helped Zhao Lanxiang carry a bag of white noodles back to the old house of He's family. Zhao Lanxiang took out the wild fruit that Sanya had left for her to treat Zhou Jiazhen.This kind of purple-black fruit is called Zuanzi. It is sweet and sweet when it is ripe, and it is everywhere in the mountains and the wild.When Sanya went to the mountains to play pigweed, she could bring back a bag. Sanya, who had no sugar to eat, regarded it as a precious treasure. Every year she looked forward to coming soon in summer, and the twigs in the mountains would be cooked sooner.

Obviously, Zhou Jiazhen also loved this fruit very much. She was so surprised that she even ate a big catch, and her fingertips were soaked with juice. She licked her mouth with satisfaction after eating.

"You picked it. I didn't see it when I went to the mountain to pick firewood a few days ago. I was bald."

Sister He and Sanya, who are used to playing pigweed in the mountains, are familiar with the babies in the mountains.

Zhao Lanxiang just smiled and poured her a glass of water.

Zhou Jiazhen dunked two large bowls of water and burped, "I can't think that although the He family is poor, these old houses are quite real. Although you don't like to listen to me, but the He family's People are really—"

As she spoke, she walked out of Zhao Lanxiang's room and suddenly found something, shook her head and left.

At this time, Zhao Lanxiang was carrying a pair of pig intestines and was about to clean by the well. He was surprised to find a man squatting in a reserved field to water the seedlings. The pea seedlings crawled up the fence and covered his tall and thin body.

He saw Zhao Lanxiang's surprised eyes cast his head indifferently.
