I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 1355 Leading a Fashion

Xia Mingxing immediately looked at the old man, "You don't want to change your watch too, do you? Let me tell you, get rid of it, don't say I don't know if I have one at home, even if I do, it's impossible to have ten yuan and 20 yuan. People talk."

There is definitely no ten yuan and 20 yuan, but there are ten yuan and eight yuan.

He remembered that he and Li Xingxing bought five or a few pairs of watches in overseas Chinese stores.

They are all Shanghai brand, 60 yuan a piece.

It's been too long, I don't remember clearly.

The old man smiled, his wrinkled face looked like an old yellow flower, "I don't want a watch, and I can't afford it either. My son works in my family, and one person's salary supports the whole family. There are eight or nine people in total. How can I be willing to spend money?" Buying a watch? It costs a hundred or ten yuan a piece! I just think the flowered padded jacket worn by your daughter-in-law and your daughter-in-law is really beautiful. I would like to ask if you have any extra cloth at home. After snowing, everywhere is white, so you have to decorate it with bright colors The color is beautiful, I want to tear a piece of printed cloth to make a flowered jacket for my old woman and my daughter-in-law, if the cloth is not enough, I can make a headscarf, and they will be happy."

Xia Mingxing smiled and said, "I can promise you this. The cotton cloth in the supply and marketing cooperative is [-] cents a foot. I will also calculate it according to this price, which is equivalent to your duck and duck eggs."

The old man hurriedly said: "It must be enough to make two padded jackets, at worst I will kill two more ducks for you and give you more eggs."

"How many feet of cloth does a padded jacket cost?" Xia Mingxing didn't know because of his inexperience.

The old man thought for a while, "I remember that the old lady used ten feet of cloth to make a padded jacket and trousers last year. It was only for saving face, not counting the lining. Ten feet of cloth cost six yuan, and twenty feet was 12 yuan. My duck If it’s not enough, I’ll kill two more for you.”

Don't look at his ducks are well raised, all of them are fat, but duck meat is extremely cheap.

The cafeteria occasionally sells homemade salted ducks, each costing more than one yuan.

Xia Mingxing seemed to have bought a lot of chickens, ducks, geese, and eggs, but it didn't cost much. He raised his hand to check the time, and hurried home with the bought vegetables to cook, and bought something else on the way back.

When you get home, wash the meat and vegetables and chop stuffing.

While chopping, he told Li Xingxing what happened today, "You said that eating pork is easy to get high blood pressure, let's eat more chicken, duck, geese and fish, and they will kill it and send it to me. It will save me a lot of trouble, but is the watch still on? Is there any calico?"

Li Xingxing teased the eldest and second babies who were both awake, and said casually, "I didn't give away the watch, of course I have it, and there are plenty of floral cloths."

She remembers clearly what her grandfather bought.

The year I wore them back, the cotton-padded jackets with patterns were very popular in rural areas. The thin ones wore one-sided skirts, while the fat ones wore double-breasted ones. Although most of them were made of small floral patterns on red backgrounds, blue backgrounds, and pink backgrounds, the cotton-padded jackets with Northeast patterns were also the same. someone loves.

There is a clothing store on the street, and there are ready-made floral cotton jackets and cotton trousers in the store!

Maybe it was because the temptation of the cotton-padded jacket was too great, the old man who sold the ducks came very quickly, and at noon, when Li Xingxing and Xia Xingxing were eating hot dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage, he brought over twelve ducks that had been slaughtered.

In addition to ducks, there is also a basket of duck eggs.

"Ducks are easy to feed and grow fast. My wife and I mainly raise ducks. If we can't sell them, we kill them to eat for ourselves. As Xia Gong said, they can be regarded as supplementing nutrition for our family." The old man told Li Xingxing like this, " The duck eggs I picked for you are the biggest in the house, and they are salted for a month or two, and when they are cooked, they will emit oil when you poke them with chopsticks, they are very delicious."
