1983: From Land Sharing to Household Ownership

"Let's go shopping for clothes first." Wang Qiang thought for a while and said.

It's already about half past seven, and in another half an hour, the department store in the county will open.

At this time, there are basically no private clothing stores in the county, but there are quite a few private tailor shops, but they all have to be tailor-made, and it takes two days to get the goods. The waiting time is too long.

Then, going to the department store under the supply and marketing cooperative has become the only choice.

The department store is just on the edge of Cross Street, just at the corner of Cross Street towards the farmers market. It has an excellent location and is very conspicuous.

"It's still early, let's go to the canteen of the trade union to eat a bowl of rice noodles."

After a while, Wang Qiang and his party came to the front of the large street canteen where the county federation of trade unions were open for business. Thinking that they hadn't had breakfast yet, he said.

The rice noodles here are very delicious. A few years ago, when my father was alive, I brought Wang Qiang to eat it once, and it was memorable.

"Eat rice noodles? It should be expensive, right?"

Although Wanjun really wanted to try it in her heart, she didn't want to waste money.

"It's not cheap."

Wang Qiang went into the city to sell fish this year. He passed by here several times and heard about the recent rice noodle prices here.

The rice noodles in the people's cafeteria are really not cheap. A bowl of rice noodles of three taels costs twenty-five cents, and twenty taels of two cents.

Expensive is a little more expensive, but the portion is very large, a large bowl of rice noodles is more than two bowls in the 21st century!

Moreover, that brine is a real incense. Compared with the brine of the 21st century, it is more than eight streets stronger.

There is absolutely no comparison between the two.

Mainly in this era, brine was boiled with precious original ecological medicinal materials, and the materials were pure and sufficient.

Today, I made a small fortune. I brought three younger sisters who have never eaten rice noodles on the street, and each of them had a bowl of rice noodles, which is also what they should.

"Brother, I want to eat rice noodles!"

"Brother, I want to eat too."

Wan Yu and Wan Ling, the two little girls, had their eyes bright when they heard it, and raised their hands to sign up.

"Then... then go in and eat a bowl."

Wan Jun looked at her sister staringly, hesitated for a while, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and agreed.

"Follow me, don't go away."

Wang Qiang said to the three little girls and walked towards the gate with them.

This canteen of the Federation of Trade Unions, with the words "People's Canteen" written on it, has only one floor and a large area of ​​more than 400 square meters.

As soon as I walked into this large dining hall, I saw tables and chairs scattered all over the side, all of which are the Eight Immortals table and two-person stool, which can allow hundreds of people to eat at the same time.

There are many customers, and the people waiting in line form two long queues.

The rice noodles in the Tea City People's Cafeteria used to require food stamps and money to buy them. Starting from the end of this summer, only money will do.

Tea City is a remote mountainous area, which is different from other places, and many other aspects are different from other places.

For example, the division of farmland to households began in 1978 in many places in China, and it took five years for the tea city to come here.

In addition, the province where Chacheng is located is composed of villages and brigades as people's communes. Unlike many places in other places, even the title of village has been cancelled for many years, and it was not restored until the 1980s.

In the past, all kinds of materials in the tea city required various tickets to be purchased. From this autumn, basically no tickets are needed, and you can buy them with money.

Wang Qiang and his sisters waited in line. As the crowd slowly advanced, they waited for about twenty minutes before it was their turn.

"Auntie, there are four of us, and we want four bowls of rice noodles!"

Across the window, he handed over a big unity in one hand, and said to a woman sitting at the counter collecting money.

The other party didn't answer, took the money, and quickly got back and gave him nine dollars, and handed him four rice noodle tickets at the same time.

The rice noodle ticket has three taels written on it. Similar to the student meal ticket of later generations, it is made of plastic.

Take rice noodles, not here, in another place in the big canteen.

To get rice noodles, it is too fast.

In the shop window, there are seven or eight middle-aged women who are constantly hot powdering and adding ingredients, non-stop and fast.

Anyway, now is the peak buying period. No matter how much rice noodles they make, they will all be sold out.

The rice noodles that people buy are basically three taels, and there are very few two taels.

Only the kind of children who are only a few years old, the adults help them out.

After a while, the four brothers and sisters Wang Qiang each carried a large bowl of rice noodles and came to an empty seat in the hall to sit down, and they couldn't wait to eat and drink.

"Whoosh..."

“Delicious! So delicious!”

"I've never eaten something so delicious!"...

The three little girls were hooked and full of praise.

This is a real compliment. Even if Wang Qiang has an extraordinary experience now, and remembers that he has eaten countless delicacies in future generations, he still eats and drinks the rice noodles in the bowl of the sea with the soup and water in one breath!

It's a pity that Wang Qiang knew that after two years, the people's cafeteria was cancelled.

Since then, people have never eaten this unforgettable delicacy.

This kind of good thing that can really conquer human taste, two years later, only legends remain, hidden in people's increasingly weak memory.

After eating and drinking, sitting and resting for a few minutes, the four brothers and sisters walked out of the people's canteen.

"Brother, from now on, shall we come again?"

Wan Yu couldn't help it, she raised her face and asked her brother who was holding her little hand.

"Definitely will come again."

Wang Qiang rubbed her small head with his big hand, "We will come and eat many times in the next two years."

"That would be great!"

The little girl immediately shouted with joy.

The two girls Wanyu and Wanjun on the side were also smiling, and their hearts were full of thoughts.

There is no way, the rice noodles made by the people's cafeteria are so delicious that people will never forget them after eating them once.

The four of them walked south along the main street unhurriedly, and soon returned to the intersection.

Wang Qiang looked up and found that the door of the department store at the corner of the entrance to the farmers market was open, and many customers came in and out.

The department store covers a large area, more than 1,000 square meters.

It has two floors, the second is built of wood and covered with tiles on top.

The time is already more than eight in the morning, and the employees of this department store should also go to work.

He knew that the staff in this department store had a surprisingly poor service attitude. It could be said that there was no service attitude at all.

The goods inside, not only do not bargain, but also do not allow you to tamper with.

Before August this year, to buy things, not only money, but also various tickets can be purchased.

Otherwise, you can't buy it with money.

"Wanjun, Xiaoyu, Xiaoling, after you go in, try not to talk or move things!"

Arriving at the gate of the department store, Wang Qiang stopped and explained carefully to the three girls.

He had to.

Otherwise, you won't be able to buy anything inside if you upset those waiters.

I just won't sell it to you, what are you doing?

That's right, at this time, the department store under the supply and marketing cooperative is so arrogant and awesome!

"Okay, I won't talk or move."

"Me too, very nice."

"Brother, don't worry, I will take care of my sister and them."

The three little girls were a little frightened, and nodded their heads one after another.

In their young minds, the department store under the supply and marketing cooperative is no different from the Longtan Tiger's Den.

After making it clear, Wang Qiang asked Wan Jun to hold the twin girls one by one, and led the way into the gate of the department store, walking straight towards the clothing area.
