Chapter 21 A Long Experience
As for when it will be in short supply, it depends on the production decision. Sometimes an item may not need coupons this month, but it will be needed next month.

For example, to buy kerosene lamps, you need industrial vouchers and fuel tickets. Fuel tickets cost two catties per person per quarter and are used to buy kerosene.

If you want to cook and keep warm, you have to apply for a coal purchase certificate. Only after obtaining a coal purchase certificate can you buy briquettes, otherwise you can only burn firewood.

Not to mention enamel pots, kettles, electric fans, etc. Not only do they need industrial coupons, but they also need a lot of them.

But there are also unnecessary ones. For example, in the first two months, soap tickets were required, and towel tickets were also required, but this month, there is no need for them. The container is crowded with people who bought them all at once. Tickets will be collected again in a month.

Jiang Xue doesn't even have a household registration, so how could there be industrial vouchers for working people? Originally, she wanted to buy kerosene lamps, but now she can only buy candles.

She had seen a similarly burnt candle tail in Mrs. Jiang's house, so it would not be awkward to buy a candle.

Simple white wrapping paper, ten candles in a pack, cost [-] cents, Jiang Xue thought about it, bought two packs, and spent [-] cents.

Thinking of the small broken aluminum pot in Mrs. Jiang's house, Jiang Xue bought a large casserole, three plates, and five bowls for one yuan and twenty cents, all of which were free of charge.

It's not that Jiang Xue doesn't want to buy an iron or aluminum pot, it's just that she can't afford the ticket.

Glancing at the beautiful enamel basin, Jiang Xue felt a little regretful. It seems that next time she will not only need money, but also various tickets.

At this time, the kettle had a bamboo shell, and the inner pot could be seen. It was cheap but not very beautiful. After a long time, the shell would gradually turn gray and black.

The other is the more expensive kettle with a silver mouth and an iron shell. The outer skin is either bright red or pink, and there are patterns of magpies climbing branches, flowers blooming and wealth, or double happiness.

Needless to say, Jiang Xue couldn't buy a thermos, but fortunately she didn't plan to buy one. She thought of making the floor by herself, so she just bought a straw mat.

The straw mats looked like they were made by rural craftsmen in the countryside, because there was no red logo of which factory was on the top. A straw mat cost eight cents, and Jiang Xue had already paid for it, but after thinking about it later, she asked for more one sheet.

The candle was put in the shoulder bag, and the grass mat was rolled into a ball and tied with two straps at the bottom of the shoulder bag. Jiang Xue left the grocery store with the big casserole in her arms. The dishes were naturally placed in the big casserole.

Jiang Xue still left the city when it was getting dark. She bought something and walked around the city. Seeing that she had nothing to gain and it was getting late, she was ready to leave the city.

Not long after leaving the city, I ran into Jiang Dabao.

"Sister Xue~" Jiang Dabao was very happy when he saw Jiang Xue, called out, and ran over happily.

"Dabao." Jiang Xue also smiled, she knew he was here to pick her up.

Seeing him holding a long stick, Jiang Xue didn't know what was going on, she just felt warm in her heart.

"Sister Xue, you bought so many things."

"It's nothing, let's go, we'll talk when we go back."

"Sister Xue, have you found your family yet?"

"Uh..." Jiang Xue froze for a moment: "No."

When Jiang Dabao heard this, he was afraid that she would be sad, so he hurriedly comforted her clumsily: "Sister Xue, don't be too anxious, there will definitely be good news."

"Well, I know." Jiang Xue murmured in her heart, I'm not in a hurry, I just said it casually, and if I want to be in a hurry, I'm also worried about the black household's affairs.

Although Mrs. Jiang said she was hungry and her health was not good, after all, she had something to eat in the past two or three days, and she was more energetic. When Jiang Xue and Jiang Dabao came back, she was lighting a fire in front of the stove.

"Comrade Jiang, you guys are back~"

"Hey, ma'am."

"Grandma, why did you get out of bed? Get some rest, I'll be fine." Jiang Dabao saw it and ran over quickly.

Aunt Jiang smiled: "It's okay, I feel uncomfortable lying down all day, just got up and boiled some water when it was dark, so you can drink to warm up when you come back."

"I'll come, I'll come..." Jiang Dabao stepped forward and snatched the fire stick from grandma's hand.

When Mrs. Jiang saw it, she got up and slowly sat down at the end of the bed.

Jiang Xue took a glance and found that there were three more bundles of firewood in the house than yesterday, and it looked like it could burn for five or six days.

That's right, it's already winter, and this is the junction of lakes, rivers, and Ansan provinces in later generations, and sometimes it snows a lot in winter.

If you don’t prepare firewood, you don’t have briquettes to burn for heating, and you don’t have thick clothes and quilts, it’s probably not enough.

Seeing Jiang Dabao carrying a bag from the bed to prepare for cooking, Jiang Xue was surprised, and when she saw the food Jiang Dabao spooned out, she was stunned.

Aunt Jiang noticed her expression and hurriedly explained: "Comrade Jiang, this sorghum rice was exchanged by Sanwa for the millet you gave to the production team below."

"Millet is very expensive, so if you change it to sorghum rice, you can eat it for a while." Jiang Xue provided the food, so Mrs. Jiang felt that it was better to tell people about it.

Jiang Xue understood what she said, and she didn't say she had a lot, but asked curiously, "How much can I change?"

Jiang Dabao was carefully washing the sorghum rice and adding it to the pot. When he heard her ask, he raised his head and said, "I changed 26 catties of sorghum rice."

26 pounds?

Can less than two catties of millet be exchanged for so much sorghum rice?
Jiang Xue was a little speechless, is Xiaomi so expensive at this time?

Aunt Jiang explained from the side: "The third baby was bought by the captain's family who gave birth. The daughter-in-law of the captain's family just gave birth to a boy and is in need of millet. Comrade Jiang, the millet you gave is also good Well, it’s clean and beautiful, so naturally we can change more.”

In this way, Jiang Xue thought of the price of fine grains on the black market, so she nodded to express her understanding.

Her eyes fell on the sorghum rice in the small aluminum pot, and she was about to hesitate whether she should say that she had eaten, and then went out to slander her for something to eat, but Jiang Dabao took out two steamed buns and put them on the lid of the aluminum pot to heat them up. with.

From this posture, it looked like he was preparing hot buns for her to eat.

At this time, the fire in the stove was shaken by the wind blowing in from the crack of the house, Jiang Xue also remembered, and quickly took out two packs of candles from her shoulder bag.

"Ma'am, I bought candles. If it's late, I'll light the candles first, otherwise I can't see clearly under my feet, and it's not worth it if I fall."

"I bought this casserole because it looked pretty good. I will use it to cook some ginger soup later. It's cold, so I can drive away the cold." As she spoke, Jiang Xue took out two pieces of old ginger the size of a palm from her pocket and handed it over To Jiang Dabao.

She took this ginger out of the space, she didn't have a non-staple food book, and she couldn't even buy onions, ginger, and garlic.

Jiang Xue once again felt the importance of household registration in her heart.

Aunt Jiang had seen what Jiang Xue brought back a long time ago. She originally thought that Jiang Xue had found her family and was going to bring them to the door tomorrow, but she never expected that Jiang Xue would actually buy them for her family.
