Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home.

Chapter 17 Grain Conversion (Seeking Tickets and Collecting)
In the past, when there was enough to eat, many people in the city were willing to buy some fine grains to eat.Such as flour and rice, flour can make dumplings, noodles and so on.But generally you can only buy [-]% to [-]% fine grains, and the rest will be converted into coarse grains for you.

A ticket for ten catties of fine grains can be exchanged for thirty catties of coarse grains.Under such circumstances, a person's ration is about [-] catties, and if most of the people receive coarse grains, they can have about [-] to [-] catties of grain.

Under such circumstances, if there are children and elderly people in the family, if they do not have urban hukou, they can barely make a living.

But now that there is a famine, the ration is reduced, and the people in the city don’t have enough to eat.So everyone wants to use fine grains to replace coarse grains, regardless of whether the food is good or not, the premise is that there is enough food first.

But the national food stamps are different, and there is no such thing as a quantitative statement.If it was in the past, if you had national food stamps, you would definitely be able to buy whatever food you wanted, and it would be given to you in proportion.But now that everyone wants to buy coarse grains, the Luo family, who have never bought grains, actually have no idea.

I don't know what kind of grain Luo Cheng can buy with the more than 50 catties of grain.

This means that Luo Cheng is not really a person of this era. If he was a person of this era, he would not think about how to buy.

If Luo Cheng is not retired, but still in the army, especially the logistics procurement department of the army.In fact, there is also a kind of food stamp, military food stamp, also called military grain certificate.

In fact, there is no restriction on coarse grains and fine grains for military food stamps. According to the market ratio, you can buy whatever you want.However, military food stamps have geographical restrictions, so after Luo Cheng retired from the army, he was issued national food stamps.

Anyone who has used national food stamps knows that there are no restrictions on those who use this kind of ticket to buy food.Even if it is a famine year, you can buy coarse grains if you want to buy coarse grains if you want to buy coarse grains, and fine grains if you want to buy fine grains with the national food stamps.

You know, the department that can find the national food stamps is not an ordinary department.Let's put it this way, in Longyang Town, even if it is a government official, without a special reason, it will definitely not be able to receive a national food stamp.

The location of the food station is close to the main road to Ngee An, which is more convenient for traffic.There are special warehouses, and ordinary people cannot enter.

If you want to buy grain or sell grain here, there are several houses with external nutrition.

Also because of the famine, there are more people guarding the grain station now.People from towns and villages rarely come here to buy food, mainly because there are no food stamps.When there is grain to buy, basically the ration is bought up in one go.Don't come here often.

As soon as Luo Cheng followed his father and younger brother here, he was questioned.They are all from the town. As soon as Luo Wen reports the name of the brigade, they will know roughly where it is.After learning that they were buying grain, the people at the grain station even called for an accountant.

"What kind of food do you want to buy here? They are all national food stamps. Your son is a veteran. Does he have a discharge certificate?"

Because it was mainly his father Luo Wen who was negotiating, the people at the food station were also surprised when they saw that the national food coupons were brought out.This food stamp is rare in towns, but the people in the grain station are knowledgeable and know that this food stamp is universal, which means it has added value.

According to the logic, those who have national food stamps can buy food, and there is no need to check Luo Cheng's discharge certificate.If you buy food with national food stamps but don’t sell it, it’s the same as merchants in later generations who don’t accept RMB, and you will make mistakes.

But the people in the grain station asked this, not because they didn't sell grain, but because they were simple people these days. Since the other party was from the town, they also knew the brigade his father was in.If we use national food stamps, we have to take care of them.

"Comrade, here is my discharge certificate, please check it."

The certificate of discharge from the army is always carried by Luo Cheng. These days, everyone doesn't even have an ID card, and most people have to have a letter of introduction when they go out.Those who have a unit need to bring a work permit, and veterans also have a discharge certificate, which is very handy when going out.

"Comrade, please let me know first. This is a national food stamp. If you use it, it will not be refunded."

For Luo Cheng, the people in the grain station gave him a high-level look and spoke more politely.

Explaining this to Luo Cheng in this way is also because he is afraid that he will feel that he has lost money, and don't exchange it with ordinary food stamps at that time.This grain station receives national food stamps, but they will not keep them here all the time, and they will basically hand them in on the same day.

"understood."

Without hesitation, Luo Cheng nodded and said, what else can I do if I don't take out the food stamps to buy food.It is also impossible for me to go to other places to do anything, although I usually buy food and so on, and food stamps are still used.But this is not a famine year, the family and those relatives need this food.

However, Luo Cheng also kept a few catties of food stamps, and took out a total of fifty catties of food stamps.Luo Cheng kept the rest as a spare, even if he bought some vegetarian buns for grandma every day.

Seeing that Luo Cheng didn't hesitate, the people in the grain station were not polite.After receiving Luo Cheng's food stamps, he told him directly that he would take care of him better than ordinary food stamps. After all, Luo Cheng was a veteran and had served the country.With proper care, it's fine.

In fact, it was implying to Luo Cheng that rules are dead, but people are alive.His food stamps will not go to the public account. If you want to issue a receipt, you can only buy it at face value.But you don't need a bill, at least you can buy it in the amount of sixty catties.

That is to say, if the national food stamps and grain stations are collected, they will be exchanged for them, and they will be handed in with normal [-]-jin provincial food stamps or regional food stamps.

Faced with such a thing, Luo Cheng and the others must have chosen not to use the receipt.Anyway, the food is all they need, and the food station allows them to pick whatever they want.

If you are buying fine grains, rice and flour, you can buy 180 catties.If you want miscellaneous grains and coarse grains, you can buy [-] catties.There are even sweet potatoes, which are not considered grains, in the grain station. One catty of coarse grains can be exchanged for five catties of sweet potatoes.

However, there is a limit to changing sweet potatoes, otherwise those who eat commodity grains will have to change a lot of sweet potatoes in this year.The same is true of sweet potatoes. If you replace more, others will not be able to replace them.So if you want to exchange sweet potatoes, with the food book, you can exchange five catties of coarse grains for sweet potatoes, that is, five catties of coarse grains for 25 catties of sweet potatoes.

But Luo Cheng used the national food stamps, and he didn't eat commercial food now, so he didn't have any food.The same is true for the grain station. After all, it is a grain station in the town, and it is really rare to receive national food stamps once a year.

So in the end, it is up to the grain station to decide in private. If you want to change sweet potatoes, you can, but you can't change all of them. After all, you have to consider other people.If Luo Cheng's fifty catties of national food stamps were all bought with sweet potatoes, he could buy nine hundred catties.

The Luo family really didn't worry about starving to death this year, but if they ate sweet potatoes every day, Luo Cheng felt that he would get tired of eating them.It's fine if the grain station refuses to give all the sweet potatoes.

The grain station is willing to give Luo Cheng 150 catties of sweet potatoes. According to the amount of three catties of coarse grains for one catty of grain stamps, and five catties of sweet potatoes for one catty of coarse grains, 150 catties is just ten catties of fine grain stamps.

As for coarse grains, there are many such as sorghum noodles, cornmeal (cob noodles), soybeans and millet.Luo Cheng wants to buy rice. He is not used to eating pasta, but his father Luo Wen wants to buy all stick noodles, and he can buy 150 catties.Buy some soybeans at most.Everyone else buys stick noodles, so that I can better help my younger siblings.

In the last discussion, my father still respected Luo Cheng's opinion, and ordered five catties of rice and five catties of white flour. Others were mainly stick noodles, and some millet and soybeans were also bought.

But the three bags I brought couldn't hold such a large amount. Fortunately, there are hemp bags for sale at the grain station. The bags are so big that one bag can weigh a hundred catties.

　There should be many older generations who eat sweet potatoes every day in this era.Although I eat it every day, let alone get tired of it, if I can eat sweet potatoes, it is considered a good year.When I am hungry, I eat grass roots every day.By the way, thanks to xiyi for the monthly pass.There are still a lot of recommendation tickets from my brothers. It is still necessary to enter the list in the early stage. I read it today and entered the top 100 in the urban category. Today's goal is between 60 and 80.
