Chapter 266 Those Disappearing Notes

In the first year of junior high school, Zhang Xinglong celebrated his birthday, but Liu Guixin and Zhang Qingzhi forgot about their busy schedules.

He boiled two eggs himself, but Zhang Qingzhi saw him beat them a few times.

Although later Liu Guixin remembered that it was his birthday, so he coaxed him, cooked him two more, and scrambled eggs at night, but he couldn't release his inner pain.The attachment to eggs is now in my mind.

In fact, Liu Guixin and Zhang Qingzhi are really not easy. There are three young men in the family, each of whom can eat better than the other, and there are two elderly people who have no food.

It used to be that when there was a shortage of food, you could go back to Zhangjiabao to carry it, but now the people who grow food also come here to eat food.

I have tried all the ways to get food, and I have to save everything that can be exchanged for food.

In fact, before the 80s in China, the policies and systems in all aspects were relatively humane. Only in terms of food, they were particularly resolute, tough and cold-blooded, and they would not waver.

Without food books and stamps, you are really waiting to be starved to death.At that time, there were too many painful or touching stories because of food stamps. They were things that could change lives, and their importance even surpassed money for a time.

Known as China's second currency: absolutely strong, never depreciated.

Cloth tickets, egg tickets, meat tickets, and food tickets are the four basic necessities for people to maintain a normal life.As for industrial vouchers, many people have never seen those things in their entire lives.

At Zhang Qingzhi's house, collecting tickets, buying grain, filling oil, and buying non-staple food and condiments are all Zhang Xinglong's errands.Only the meat was bought by Zhang Qingzhi himself, the one who asked someone to cut the fat.

As for eggs, never bought them.

At this moment in 87, soy sauce, vinegar, monosodium glutamate, white wine, cigarettes, sugar tea, bread, soda, canned pastries, etc. no longer needed tickets and coupons. They were sold in small shops and could be bought with money.

Salt still goes to non-staple food.Salt, fermented bean curd, preserved eggs, eggs, meat, oil, grain, and cloth are all sold by the state-run unit.Still need a ticket.

However, at this time, the supplies are already quite abundant, and they are no longer as tense as before. Many things have begun to be traded among the people, and the problems that money can solve are constantly increasing and expanding.

When the date of each month comes, Zhang Xinglong takes the grain book and pockets to the grain station to buy grain.

First line up at the window to draw the money and pay, and then go to get the food. Weigh the white rice and flour and put it in the pocket that I brought, and then carry it home.

These are food stamps provided by the state, and the price is very low. The food for the five members of Zhang Qing's family is more than 120 catties, more than 30 yuan.There is also a fixed amount of oil, and there is only so much per month. This is not calculated by head, but by household.

There is basically no supply of coarse grains in industrial areas, only rice and white flour.

There was a time when the rice supply was replaced by Sichuan rice. As a result, the common people almost rebelled, and the grain stations were besieged, demanding that the rice be replaced.The rice has no rice taste, and it is slag when boiled, like chewing wax, so people quit.

Because each store has fixed quantities, there is no competition or anything. You just queue up and leave after you get your own share. If you have too much, you can’t buy it.Many families, like Zhang Qing's House, have their children come to buy it when they arrive.

That's the good thing about rationing, you can't go wrong.

Only the meat needs to be scrambled, one is to choose fat, and the other is not available every day.

The non-staple food is served with frozen pork, which needs to be chopped with a big knife.So buying meat here is called chopping meat.

Soybean oil is packed in large iron drums, which look the same as gasoline drums. You have to bring a pot from home, and you just need to draw your skills when you come.

There is a special tool, one end of which extends into the oil barrel, and there is a clip with a scale on it. When the handle is raised to the corresponding scale and pressed down, the corresponding oil will be pressed out.But no one has ever measured whether it is short of catties or two.

People in this era are so simple, as long as you say that, most people will believe it, or believe it firmly.The strange thing is that in this era, most people don't know how to lie, what they talk about is their conscience.

Liars will soon become a stink on the street, and they cannot survive in the crowd.Even a rascal who is a gangster in the society would not cheat, and he would not be able to survive in that circle.

And with the development of society, the development of economy...

I still don't know whether to move forward or backward. Anyway, I can't find my conscience, and my bottom line is gone.

……

In the past two years of 86 and 87, Journey to the West was broadcast, and the alleys were empty.

China's Second Automobile Manufacturing Plant was completed and put into operation, abruptly creating a city of Sy, which later became Dongfeng Factory.

The US Challenger exploded, killing all seven astronauts, followed by the collapse of the New World Hotel in Singapore, the leakage and explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Soviet Union, and a city becoming an uninhabited area.

With the implementation of the Seventh Five-Year Plan in my country, the implementation of the Compulsory Education Law, and the implementation of daylight saving time across the country, Cui Jian sang that he had nothing.

The first state-owned enterprise officially declared bankrupt appeared in China, Shenyang Explosion-Proof Apparatus Factory, which also gave birth to my country's first enterprise bankruptcy law.

German scientists sent China's first e-mail in BJ Daogou: cross the Great Wall and go to the world.

By the end of 87, except for grain and oil, which was still completely controlled by the state and strictly enforced the grain supply, other people's livelihood materials had private transactions, and farmers' markets and wholesale malls sprung up in various places.

In addition to food stamps, other types of supply tickets exist in name only, and they can no longer influence the purchase of ordinary people.

In fact, non-governmental transactions of grain have also begun to appear, but they are more expensive, and they are all carried out secretly and quietly, and the importance of food stamps is also greatly reduced.

……

Zhang Xingjun's business started again, and Goubangzi Roasted Chicken went to the dinner tables of many families in Guojiabao.

Zhang Xingjun bought an aviation leather jacket with the money he earned. This is the most popular clothing among young people at the moment, with more than 400 pieces.

And denim.Wearing a denim suit in this era is definitely a hundred times more awesome than a Dior Versace Armani suit in later generations.

Liu Guixin and Zhang Qingzhi ignored the son earning money and spending it himself.And at this time, the couple didn't care much about Zhang Xingjun anymore, they discussed everything and gave him the greatest freedom.

In addition to helping the family to look after the stall, the rest of the things are basically random.Anyway, I know that my child will not do anything bad.

Zhang Xingbing doesn't understand these things yet, but Zhang Xinglong has reached the age of smugness, and he is drooling with envy.

Then, when Zhang Xingjun didn't pay attention to put it on, he ran away, went to school for a day, and was scolded by Zhang Xingjun again when he came back.Have fun.He and Zhang Xingjun are almost the same size, and the clothes of the two can wear each other.

It's just that Zhang Xingjun didn't want to wear Zhang Xinglong's, because he eliminated them all.
