Chapter 42 Purchasing
When the college entrance examination resumes and the economy develops and opens up to the self-employed, these people will lose their jobs... But by then, the tricky people will become another group.
"Why?"
Ren Bingxin asked confused, but Lu Miao kept silent, "Where are there so many and why? Don't worry about it yet, Gu Ying and the others are still waiting at the door. We have to go back after we finish shopping.”
“Okay.”
Lu Miao bought soy sauce and vinegar, and also ordered two packages of MSG wrapped in one-inch oil paper.
Soy sauce and vinegar usually come from home in bottles. Lu Miao didn’t have bottles, so she spent an extra ten cents to buy two.
There are many things in the non-staple food station, but they are not complete. For spices, I only find star anise, tangerine peel, bay leaves, cinnamon and peppercorns. Cumin, nutmeg, grass fruits, etc. are all here. No.
Lu Miao bought some of what he could find. There were not many people in demand for such things in the market, and they were sold very cheaply. They cost almost two cents a liang. Lu Miao picked and picked. , bought a big bag for fifty cents.
Remembering that Fu Jingyou had eaten at Fu Jingyou's place before, and Fu Jingyou used ginger to pick and choose the spices. After Lu Miao bought the spices, he took Ren Bingxin and Gu Ying to the farmer's food station.
She bought five kilograms of ginger at five cents a pound without blinking an eye.
Gu Ying's jaw almost dropped, "Why did you buy so much ginger? Ginger can't be eaten as food!"
And this ginger is not cheap, other vegetables, fungi They were all two cents a pound, ginger cost five cents, and five pounds went to two cents and a quarter. Lu Miao paid so neatly that Gu Ying felt her flesh ache just looking at it.
Lu Miao curled her lips and smiled. She leaned into Gu Ying's ear and made a random excuse:
"My aunt... I am weak and have stomachache during menstruation. My family told me when I came here. , usually drink more ginger water.”
Lu Miao reluctantly deceived Gu Ying.
Lu Miao had a plan in mind. She did buy a lot of ginger, but most of it was bought from pieces with lots of buds. She would go back and deal with it later. A whole piece of ginger can be divided into different parts. With a few pieces of ginger, you can try to propagate it yourself.
The reason why ginger is more expensive than other seasonal vegetables can most intuitively reflect two points. One is the planting aspect. There are requirements for planting, or the planting technology is lacking, resulting in a failure to keep up with the yield. The other is the planting. There are few people.
Think about it, in an era when food was not enough to satisfy hunger, people of course paid more attention to substantive rations, such as rice, wheat flour, cane sugar, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, etc.
In the eyes of the public, any of these is more promising than growing ginger.
Lu Miao never thought about the big picture, she only thought about herself.
Fu Jingyou said that there are many turtles, eels and loaches in the channels and ditches.
Even if you go to the lake to catch them, no one will care about them, because these are things that others cannot eat.
This is the opinion of others. In Lu Miao's opinion, as long as there are enough seasonings, things that others don't like can become delicious.
If you can’t get enough meat, eating a whole meal of river fresh food once in a while can be regarded as a kind of compensation for the body and mind. Moreover, the nutritional value of eels and soft-shell turtles is not worse than that of pork.
"What's left to buy?"
"Yeah." Lu Miao nodded, almost everything was bought, except for the last thing, "Where can I buy wine?"
Don't say Gu Ying, Geng Xiaoyun and Ren Bingxin were all surprised. With a strange expression, "Wine? Are you still drinking?"
"Oh no, tell me first!"
Lu Miao used the coquettish skill, Gu Ying couldn't resist, so she had to say truthfully:< br>
"They are sold at the supply and marketing cooperative, but you need a drink ticket. Do you have one?" Yes, of course, you must have it!
Lu Miao took Gu Ying's arm, and the group jogged all the way back to the supply and marketing cooperative.
When buying wine, Lu Miao bought one bottle each of yellow wine and white wine. The bottles of the two bottles were not much bigger than her palm, and they were the ones Fu Jingyou used before.
It’s not easy to come out in normal times. If it weren’t for the presence of others and the fact that he had already “squandered” today, Lu Miao would have wished she could have bought a few more bottles of consumables like this.
The letter was sent, the food was eaten, and almost all the things they wanted were bought. This outing was a perfect end. The girls packed up and walked home together.
The atmosphere was just right. Geng Xiaoyun carried a bamboo basket on his back, straightened his back, and couldn't help but sang:
"The red flag is swinging in the wind, and the silver sickle is shining in the waves.
The singing is soaring into the sky, but I am chasing after you.
Chairman M shows us the way, and our sweat brings a good harvest.
Hey, the food is piled up like a mountain, and everyone is smiling.
Facing the harvest scene, express your wishes to the party.
Let the wasteland be turned into a granary, and contribute more to the revolution..."
There are no luxury cars, jewelry, or high-rise buildings. The places you walk along the street are all dusty adobe walls. , the only thing with bright colors is probably the slogan "Grassing the Revolution, Promoting Production" written on red paper on the wall.
People work hard and lack radical utilitarianism. Lu Miao was a little uncomfortable at first, but as Geng Xiaoyun sang, the girls gradually started to sing along. Lu Miao was infected by the atmosphere, and her heart seemed to condense. I gained a certain strength and gradually gained a trace of calmness
"Lu Miao, everyone is singing, how do you sing? Let's sing together!"
"Haha..." Lu Miao smiled sadly, with a rare hint of confusion on her pretty face, "I can't... you guys Sing, let me listen to you sing a few times first, and then I can follow you next time Let’s get together.”
“Okay~”
The girls laughed and walked back to the production team in the sunset. When they arrived at the educated youth point, Lu Miao, who had been quiet all the way, suddenly started jumping up and down. Surprise shouted and rushed to the door of the educated youth spot.
When I went out in the morning, the Zhiqing Point was locked. At this moment, a rope was tied to the chain door knocker. A hat with a wide brim and a unique style was falling there, and it would sway in the breeze from time to time. Down.
Her hat!
Fu Jingyou made it up for her and sent it over!
Lu Miao took off her hat in surprise, like a little girl who received her favorite gift. She couldn't wait to put the hat on her head, turned her back and showed it to everyone, " Does it look good? Does it look good? This is mine! ”
Different from the hats worn by commune members when working, this hat was made according to Lu Miao’s requirements. The brim is much wider. Because gravity cannot support it, the brim is slightly rolled and has a slightly wavy arc. A perfect beach lady hat.
Not only does it look good, the workmanship is much better than the previous one.
Lu Miao was happy, but also a little angry, because she was basically sure that Fu Jingyou had made up the hat before for her!
Damn Fu Jingyou, how dare you deal with her!
Hmph, she can’t spare him! Next time she must punish him by knitting more hats for her!
Lu Miao thought to herself, took off her hat and looked at it carefully for a long time, and couldn't help but burst out laughing again.
Lu Miao’s soul comes from later generations. What she thinks looks good may not be recognized by Geng Xiaoyun and others.
