Chapter 26 White Rabbit Milk Candy, you deserve it
“Little comrade, you’ll pay for the food stamps later, forget the money, I’ll treat you to this meal.”
Li Jiayi again I didn’t ask for any other dishes, just this meat, and at most a few steamed buns at a time.
“Isn’t this not good?”
“It’s okay, I’ll give you the money. Don’t worry, I won’t take advantage of the public.”
A steamed bun costs 20 taels, and five of them weigh one pound. Li Jia paid for it with a handful of food stamps, which meant that he only paid 20 cents.
Exchanging two cents for half a pound of such good pork is definitely worth it.
Don’t forget, pork is something even money can’t buy. It requires a ticket!
Pigeon Market does not require tickets, but there are none for sale.
“Thank you, uncle.”
"It's okay. Just sit down and wait for a while. I'll cook for you right now."
"Okay."
After Master Liu came in, Li and a pair of waiters Said: "I want five steamed buns, how much do they cost in total?"
"Just give me a pound of fine grain stamps, Master Qian Liu will pay."
"No, I will pay for it myself." Pay.”
We don’t have much money, so why let others help us pay for it? Besides, I gave Master Liu half a catty of meat because he was cooking for him.
This is the income from other people’s labor.
"Then you can give me another two cents for the steamed buns!"
Five steamed buns per catty. Of course, this refers to the weight of the steamed buns. You can't use a catty of white flour at all, but people You can’t work in a restaurant in vain! No matter what, you have to make some money.
Master Liu soon finished frying the vegetables. Not to mention, the half kilogram of meat was fried quite a lot, mainly because Master Liu added green peppers.
Li Jiayi ate two of the five steamed buns and finished the whole plate of meat.
Of course the remaining three steamed buns have to be taken away, since he has still space anyway.
I don’t know when I’m hungry, I can just take it out and eat it.
But he didn’t have many food stamps in his hand. He wanted to get some later and put them in the space. He didn’t know what to use.
Of course, to get food stamps, you must get national food stamps, because local food stamps have an expiration date.
Basically, they are for the current month, and they do not need to expire or be invalidated in that month. However, the national food stamps are different. The national food stamps are long-term.
There is no expiration date on it. You can use it whenever you want, but it is just more expensive than local food stamps.
The current price of a pound of local fine food stamps is 20 cents, while the national food stamps are 25 cents, which is five cents more expensive.
After eating, Li Jiayi walked from the small restaurant to Jianguomen. It was time to eat.
So he was not in a hurry, but passed slowly and leisurely.
But even so, when he arrived, there was no one here.
Although Pigeon Market is open all day, there is really no one there during lunch.
This didn't matter to Li Jiayi, he just found a forest and got into it, and then entered the space.
There is a place to live in space, why not take a nap.
But before taking a nap, he went to the pool to take a bath.
After running all morning, I felt sticky, so it would be more comfortable to take a shower.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jia woke up, stretched, and sat up from the bed.
With a thought, Li Jiayi appeared outside the space. At this time, Pigeon Market was already crowded.
Moving his mind again, a large basket made of rattan appeared in his hand.
Of course, there is also a lot of pork in it. Although he is young and not tall, he is really strong.
He was already stronger than his age or stronger, and since he had been drinking spiritual spring water for a while, he became even stronger.
I dare not say that it is too much, but a hundred pounds is nothing at all.
Of course, he didn’t put that much in the basket. He knew how strong he was, but others didn’t!
Finding a random spot, Li Jia put down the basket and took out the canvas he used before. Just spread it out on the ground and put three pieces of meat, one pound, two pounds and five pounds.
"The best wild boar meat! Don't miss it if you pass by."
"Little comrade, how do you sell this wild boar meat?"
"Eighty cents per catty."
< br>"Eighty cents per catty! It's not expensive. Give me five catties."
"Okay! Take the five catties."
The aunt paid the money, took the meat handed over by Li Jiayi and said, "Oh! If it weren't for the hot weather and it's easy to spoil, I would definitely buy more."
It's not easy to eat meat, but If you don’t eat meat, there will be no oil or water in your body, and you will get hungry more easily.
Housewives are better off because they don’t need to do any physical work, but the same cannot be said for those who work in factories.
“Comrade, give me two pounds.”
“Okay!”
"I also want two catties."
"I want one catty."
In just ten minutes, Li Jia calculated that he would sell at least forty catties. above.
He stood up quickly, picked up the basket and left.
But then Li Jiayi was not anxious to find a place to sell meat, but started walking around the pigeon market with a basket in hand.
"Hello, uncle!" Li Jiayi walked up to a middle-aged man and said.
"Oh! Hello, what's the matter?" the middle-aged man asked.
"What tickets do you have in your hand?"
Just now he saw this middle-aged man selling his tickets to others, so he came over to ask.
“I have two catties of sugar stamps, fifteen catties of local food stamps, and one rubber shoe stamp.”
"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment.
Originally, he thought that this uncle was selling tickets to others and would have a lot of them, but he didn’t expect this.
And they are basically tickets that he does not need, such as rubber shoe tickets and local food stamps.
Although it is said that eating local food stamps here in the Imperial Capital is the same as eating national food stamps, there are still differences.
If you only use local food stamps, the restaurant will not give you oil when cooking, but the national food stamps are different.
One kilogram of national food stamps contains one yuan of oil, which is five grams. You pay the money and the cashier will tell the kitchen.
“How do you sell these candy tickets?”
Sugar is a good thing! There were some in their house, but very few, and they were all released by Li Ma.
We usually only buy candies during the Chinese New Year. Yes, candy tickets are also long-term tickets.
After all, sugar is relatively expensive in this era, and not many people are willing to buy it.
Even the cheapest hard fruit candy costs 87 cents per pound, and that’s if you have a ticket.
It can be said that it is much more expensive than pork. For example, the famous White Rabbit toffee costs three and a half yuan per pound.
(White Rabbit Milk Candy was produced in 1943. Before 1950, it was called Mickey Mouse. From 1950 to 1959, it was called White Rabbit Milk Candy. After 1959, it was changed to White Rabbit Milk Candy.)
What is the concept of three and a half yuan per pound? You must know that one White Rabbit toffee is ten grams, and fifty pieces are one pound.
On average, a White Rabbit toffee costs seven cents, and a pound of cornmeal only costs seven cents!
If you buy half a kilogram of this, it will be enough for an adult to eat for a month.
“One yuan per catty.” The middle-aged man thought for a while and said.
PS: Love is always the same across thousands of rivers and mountains, can you give me a ticket? Thanks!
