Chapter 85 The power of chatterbox, you don’t understand
Saccharin is actually what later generations call cyclamate. In this era, it can be said to be rampant, and you can basically buy it at any supply and marketing cooperative.
And this thing doesn’t require a ticket, and it can even be sold by the piece. You can buy several pieces for one penny.
Many children like to find a bottle and fill it with tap water, and then add two saccharin pills to make the whole bottle of water sweet.
This stuff is not a good thing. Eating too much will affect growth, height, and even cause cancer. This is no joke.
"Go away, has saccharin been added and you can't drink it?"
Although saccharin is sweet, it is easy to drink, which means it has a bitter taste, even for people who have never eaten saccharin. It's also easy to tell.
Because the sweetness of cyclamate is not so pure, it is so sweet that it makes people feel weird.
"No, I just think it's too sweet. I've also drunk watermelon juice, and it's definitely not that sweet. Did you put sugar in it?"
"You can go ahead and play, How much does a pound of sugar cost? I put sugar in watermelon juice, I’m sick!”
The fat little black man scratched his head and said, "Yes, sugar is so expensive, and you still need sugar stamps."
Qian Guo Detie also had some, and there were quite a few, but he didn't have any sugar stamps. He gave them to his father before. Asking for candy coupons, I almost didn't get punished.
Li Jiayi patted the little black fat man on the shoulder and said: "The reason why my watermelon juice is so sweet is because watermelon is sweet."
"That's it!" The little black fat man scratched He scratched his head and asked: "Li Jiayi, where did you buy this watermelon juice? I'll buy some later."
"They don't sell it retail. Look, I don't have this kettle. This kettle costs 50 cents." Money.”
The kettle Li Jiayi carried was a Type 56 military kettle. It was made of aluminum and weighed 0.4 kilograms.
It can hold two liters of water, and the same goes for watermelon juice.
Fifty cents for two liters is equivalent to a dime for 400 ml, while a bottle of 300 ml Arctic Ocean soda costs just a dime!
This pure watermelon juice cannot be inferior to soda, so the price he set is not expensive.
“The price is not expensive.” The little black fat man nodded and said.
He also has a kettle, and of course he knows how much it can hold.
In this era, when family conditions were slightly better, children all had a kettle.
It is so that the children have water to drink when they go to school, except for Li Jiayi, because he always carries a water bottle.
"It's not expensive. A bottle of Arctic Ocean costs a dime! This kettle can hold almost seven bottles of Arctic Ocean."
Li Jiayi is instructing the little black fat man. The concept of delicious food but not expensive.
This concept is best used in comparison. It doesn't work well with other things, but it does in the Arctic Ocean.
After all, people who can afford to buy Beibingyang drink have good family conditions, and they are also his customer group.
"Li Jiayi, can you bring me a pot tomorrow?" the fat little black man asked sheepishly.
"Yes! What's wrong with that? I happen to want to buy it too." Li Jiayi said nonchalantly.
"Thank you, I will give you the kettle after school in the evening."
"Okay."
With Little Fatty, a talkative and active guy, helping to promote it, in a few days, half of the school will probably know about it.
Originally, he wanted to sell the enamel jars for a dime, but that was too troublesome and he wouldn't be able to sell much.
It is better to use a kettle. Although it will cost less, you can sell one kettle at a time! Just think of it as wholesale.
The morning passed quickly, and the school bell rang. Li Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the school bell.
I sat in the classroom all morning. To be honest, it was really uncomfortable.
It's not that he has never thought about not coming to class, but it just doesn't work. Not to mention that his parents can't pass it, even the school doesn't agree. "Li Jiayi, let's eat in the school cafeteria, and we need to exchange meal tickets first." said the fat little black man.
"Well! Let's go and exchange the tickets first."
"Okay."
You can exchange your tickets in the cafeteria, which is more convenient.
Soon the two people came to the canteen. It seemed that there were many people who had the same needs as them.
They came early enough, but they didn’t expect someone to come earlier than them.
However, the exchange of meal tickets in the canteen went very quickly, and it was their turn in less than three minutes.
"Teacher, I will exchange meal stamps for ten kilograms of fine grains, twenty kilograms of coarse grains, two kilograms of meat and vegetables, and ten kilograms of green vegetables." The little black fat man took out the coupons and handed them to the person responsible for exchanging them. personnel.
"Here you go."
In fact, when Guo Detie said it, the staff member had already prepared the quantity he mentioned.
No wonder the ticket exchange went so fast. If people in future generations had this speed, they wouldn't have to wait in line for such a long time.
Of course, the staff member quickly counted the tickets after taking them, and put them in the drawer if there were no problems.
"Hello, teacher, I will exchange fifty catties of fine grain meal stamps and thirty catties of green vegetable stamps."
If fifty pounds of fine grain stamps are exchanged for meal stamps, another ten yuan will be charged. If thirty pounds of green vegetable stamps are exchanged for vegetable stamps, another one and a half yuan will be charged.
This price is definitely higher than the price at the grain station or vegetable market. This is normal, and they will do it for you!
In fact, it is not only this, but also that one pound of grain can definitely produce more than one pound of rice.
So eating in school is not as cost-effective as it seems, but there is no way. Except for factories, this is the case in all schools.
Needless to say, this is Li Jiayi.
The staff member in charge of exchanging tickets looked at him in surprise, not because he didn't exchange for meat and vegetable tickets, but because he exchanged too many fine grain meal tickets.
You must know that there are not so many rations! Each person only has 30% of refined grains including rice.
Li Jiayi exchanged fifty kilograms of fine grain at once. Even a family of ten would not be able to afford so much.
But soon the staff member figured out that he must have exchanged coarse grain stamps for fine grain stamps with someone else.
Of course, it is also possible that they are fine grain stamps exchanged from the pigeon market. You must know that many people are reluctant to eat fine grains and exchange them for coarse grains at the pigeon market.
Even if you cannot exchange for coarse grains, you will exchange them for coarse grain coupons.
"Li Jiayi, why do you have so many fine grain stamps?" After exchanging the tickets and leaving the crowd, the little black fat man couldn't wait to ask.
You must know that even if his family gave him most of the fine grain stamps, it would only be ten kilograms.
Although this is only for this month, it can also be seen from here how rare the fine grain stamps are.
“I exchanged it in the pigeon market, and the other thing is, this is not just for me, it’s half of my sister’s.”
"Your sister?"
"Yes!" Li Jia nodded and said, "My sister is in the second grade of junior high school now and will probably come over soon."
"Okay! Let's go first Go get food or wait for your sister?" asked the fat little black man.
“Wait a moment! It’s still early anyway.”
