I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 215, food, meat, wine and milk

When I was at Xinhua Bookstore last time, I had seen Wu Jieping's cousin Wu Chengqian for many years.

Since Wu Jieping is so timid and afraid of his cousin, then Wu Chengqian should not be so afraid of his own father, right?
Even if he was afraid, Wu Chengqian had been exposed to it since he was a child, so he should have been in contact with a lot of his father's circle and knew some things.

Surely you'll know some people, then?
Although this is a bit risky, can you get in touch with it first, what if it works?
"Hehe, is it difficult to check your Wu Jieping's information?"

After many years of suspicion, he smiled coldly.

He made the disguise himself, hunchback, overcoat, hat and fake beard.

The kerosene lamp was not facing him, but he was very careful, always covering his face with his arms.

Therefore, Wu Jieping couldn't see clearly what many years looked like.

Wu Jieping's face became even more ugly, and he was completely flustered.

He didn't know when the other party knew his identity, but he had been to Pigeon Market so many times, and nothing happened.

Why did it fall this time?

"Don't think about anything else, Comrade Wu Jieping, bring your cousin here tomorrow, I need to talk to him, as for your dollars"

Many years smiled, and his voice was low and cold: "As long as you cooperate obediently, I will exchange US dollars with you. If you don't want to, I can't guarantee that some bad things will happen."

After all, he left for many years.

As for whether Wu Jieping is willing to continue to cooperate, I believe that the other party will definitely make the right choice for many years.

Coming to the position on the other side, he changed himself into another attire, and then entered Pigeon City.

Too tall, sometimes, is not a good thing.

The height of 1.8 meters [-] is still very high in this era.

Even in the north, people who are 1.8 meters five are the tallest small group of people.

Except in places like the security department or the army, he has basically stood out from the crowd for many years.

Therefore, when he came to Pigeon City, he had to disguise himself every time before he dared to enter Pigeon City.

"Hey, are there so many people today?"

Compared with yesterday, there is actually a small peak today, about 40 to [-] people.

It's a little surprise.

Immediately, many years walked in quickly, and then joined the team of sweeping goods.

Coarse grains such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, cornmeal, and sorghum noodles are the mainstream in Pigeon City. Flour and rice are rarely seen.

There is such an obvious difference in the status of fine grains and coarse grains.

However, for many years, it is the same regardless of whether it is coarse grains or fine grains, and they are all harvested.

However, today he was stopped when he was buying fifty catties of sweet potatoes from a middle-aged man.

"Comrade, you are wrong, obviously I came first!"

The second-hand dealer said angrily to many years.

The latter was not to be outdone, "It's true that you came first, but you didn't make a deal with anyone, right? If that's the case, why can't I compete?"

For fifty catties of sweet potatoes, this is not the first time I have argued with someone in many years.

Even almost got into a fight a few times.

Food has a high status in this era.

Erdao dealers themselves have no legitimate occupations, and they all rely on such surreptitious buying and selling to survive.

It was tiring enough to take the risk for a few cents, or even a cent, for the price difference.

Now that the market is in a downturn, the survival of Erdao dealers is extremely difficult.

That's all, for many years, he still competed with him for business?

In this way, it is no wonder that the Erdao dealers are not angry.

As the saying goes, blocking people's money is like killing parents.

Immediately, the Erdao businessman didn't care too much, took out a knife from behind, and swung it at Many Years.

"Dare to steal business from me? Boy, are you tired of working?"

After all, the Erdao businessman rushed over again with a grinning grin, wielding his knives wildly, trying to scare him off for many years.

After all, he didn't really want to hurt him for many years, but wanted to scare the other party, and then quickly bought the food.

The latter's legs and feet are barely passable, but the Erdao dealer in front of him has no rules, so he can only retreat again and again.

At this time, the middle-aged man who sold the grain turned pale when he saw this scene.

Then, while everyone was paying attention to the fight with Erdao traffickers for many years, the middle-aged man hurriedly picked up the food and left in a hurry.

Don't be afraid, it is very likely that the pond fish will be affected.

He came to sell grain, not to cause trouble.

I noticed the back of the middle-aged man leaving for many years, and I was a little anxious immediately.

Seeing the food in hand, it wants to run away, of course it is not allowed.

So, he quickly squatted down, swept the army with one long leg, like a propeller sweeping the floor, and instantly knocked down the second dealer.

After knocking down the opponent, he didn't care so much for many years, so he ran away directly.

If you don't run away, the middle-aged people will fly away carrying food.

There are many alleys near Pigeon City, and they are winding and winding. If you don't pay attention, you don't know where the other party has gone.

If you follow the wrong route, then you can't even try to catch up with the figure.

The small alleys in the courtyard pattern extend in all directions, so it took many years to catch up in such a hurry.

The Erdao businessman and other onlookers behind him were also stunned when they saw that many years ran away.

But soon everyone also discovered that the middle-aged man had disappeared.

In the alley outside, after many years, he finally caught up with the middle-aged man.

"Comrade, please sell me the food, I am really sincere."

"I want to exchange meat tickets, do you have any here?"

The middle-aged man sighed and had no choice but to stop.

The children in the family are very hungry for meat. It has been more than half a month since the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they have not eaten a meal of meat.

I had no choice but to exchange some food.

Hearing the words for many years, I felt embarrassed for a while.

Damn, he is short of meat tickets himself.

The bills of this era, that is, how many tickets will be printed according to the amount of meat, are all corresponding, and there is no way to reduce them.

Other than that, it's rural.

It's just that they didn't know for many years that the pigs raised in the commune could be killed and eaten separately, but they were not allowed to be sold in the market.

However, many units, such as steel rolling mills and plastic factories, will go to communes in the suburbs of Beijing to buy these pigs.

After all, the regulations are that they are not allowed to be sold on the market, but it didn't say that these units are not allowed to trade by themselves, right?

This is the loophole.

Ordinary residents simply don't have the strength to buy a big fat pig.

Calculated based on a big fat pig of two hundred catties, the meat yield is generally between 60.00% and 75 to [-]%.

Taking the median value and calculating according to the meat yield rate of 70.00%, then a big fat pig is 140 catties.

At the market price of 42 cents a catty, this is [-] yuan.

Who spends so much money to buy a pig to eat?

"Comrade, I don't have a meat ticket either, but I have a wild rabbit. Do you want to see it?"

Compared with meat tickets, for many years I thought it was better to sell wild rabbits.

One is that there are a lot of wild rabbits in his space, and the other is that there are really few meat tickets.

In addition, compared with wild animals, domestic poultry and pigs are actually more delicious and less fishy.

The middle-aged man frowned upon hearing this.

But, having meat is better than not having it, right?
Of course wild rabbits don’t have much fat, they’re all skin and lean meat, but it’s okay to stew them in water and drink broth.

"Well then, where is your hare?"

Without meat, middle-aged people don't want to sell their food.

After seeing this for many years, he asked the other party to wait for him for a while.

After a few minutes, he turned back quickly, already carrying a rabbit in his hand.

During the transaction, the middle-aged man asked, is there no meat ticket in Pigeon Market?

"There are not many meat tickets, because everyone is collecting meat tickets, and you also know that meat tickets are time-limited, so it is difficult to buy a suitable meat ticket."

Like all bills, meat tickets are also time-sensitive and will not wait until they expire.

Generally speaking, food stamps are issued on a monthly or annual basis, that is to say, the food stamps issued need to be used in the current year or the current month, and will not wait for expiration.

From July [-], the state began to issue meat tickets.

The Han people supply six taels to eight taels of pork per person per month; the Hui people supply one catty four taels of beef and mutton per person per month; in addition, they supply fresh fish on May Day and rice dumplings on the Dragon Boat Festival, which are distributed according to the quota of the number of households.

The supply date is within three to seven days of the festival, until sold out.

Except for this festive meat ticket, other meat tickets are basically valid for the current month.

The middle-aged man sighed and said:
"I just don't have money. If I had money, I would buy a pig and kill the pig to eat the meat myself."

Hearing this for many years, he froze for a moment, and asked strangely:

"Can you still buy pigs yourself?"

"You don't know?" The middle-aged man was surprised, and said immediately:
"There is a big family near our house. It is the old and young of the previous dynasty. Last month was not the Mid-Autumn Festival. Good guy, they went directly outside the city and bought a fat pig weighing more than 100 catties. They killed the pig and ate the meat themselves. What about a fragrance?"

Hearing this, I have held a big grass in my heart for many years.

He never thought of this at all, and he could go outside the city to buy pigs for meat.

Immediately, he asked the middle-aged man for more details.

The capital city is big, but small.

He was obviously a native of the capital for many years, but he had never been in contact with the circle of the old and the young, and he didn't know what other people's lives were like.

It was completely unexpected that in the era of [-], there would be such high-profile people who went directly outside the city to buy pigs raised by the commune, and brought them back to the city to kill them for meat.

The middle-aged man said that the family did not buy or sell, they were very open and aboveboard, and there was nothing to be afraid of.

For the pigs raised in suburban communes, it is entirely up to the commune to decide whether to kill them for meat or to sell them to work units.

"The street office and the police station, they don't care about these things, right?"

The middle-aged man pouted, "What's the matter?"

Indeed, the pursuit of a person in this life is nothing more than basic necessities of life.

The food ranking is No.2, and there is no crime, nor is it buying and selling. It is a reasonable and legal thing, so what is there to pursue?

"Then do you know, did the family buy it directly with money, or something else?"

The middle-aged people have also heard this question for many years.

The former probably wants to go outside the city to buy pork, and then sell the meat himself?
In this regard, he should not have guessed it.

If he can really do this for many years, then he will definitely take the opportunity to come to the Pigeon Market to buy some meat.

If you don't need meat tickets, who wouldn't want to buy them?
The price may be a bit more expensive, but even if it costs thirty-five cents a catty, or forty cents, they are happy.

"I'm not very clear either. I heard it was bought with money, right? But the price is definitely not cheap."

"Okay, thank you."

Satisfied for many years, knowing this unexpected news, he also has an additional way to purchase pork.

It's just that it's only October, and it's not yet the end of the year. The pigs in many communes should not have been fattened yet, right?
However, for many years, I felt that it was necessary for me to investigate.

Because it is autumn now, and it will be winter soon.

In winter, the commune has nothing to feed the domestic pigs.

Therefore, it is normal to kill and eat meat.

After finishing the transaction with the middle-aged man, he changed his attire for many years and returned to Pigeon City again.

He suddenly recalled some things. Next year is the first year of the three-year disaster, and it is estimated that it will be even more sad.

In April and May of next year, when the winter wheat grains are not harvested, it will definitely explode directly.

Therefore, at that time, the monthly share of food for many years will no longer be 32 catties, but may be more than 20 catties.

The share of food is reduced, and the quota for meat and other products will definitely continue to be reduced.

The most terrible thing is that there may be no food in Pigeon City by then.

Therefore, it is impossible for the three or four thousand catties of grain in the space for many years to last for three or four years.

Not to mention Lao Xu's big family, but his own small family for many years.

It is foreseeable that Qin Huairu will definitely give birth to a child for him next year.

The mother and child have no share, and Qin Huairu, who is pregnant and confinement, needs more nutrition.

In this way, assuming that after Qin Huairu has a baby, she needs 360 catties of grain and [-] catties of meat per month, which means [-] catties of grain and [-] catties of meat a year.

Therefore, Qin Huairu alone needs to consume 180 catties of grain and [-] catties of meat in three years.

This is just an estimate in ideal conditions.

What about myself for many years?

According to the share on the grain book, he estimated optimistically that there would still be 25 catties of share by then.

It is definitely not enough for him, because if he needs to keep exercising, his monthly food consumption is at least 45 catties.

It can be said that his share with those heavy manual laborers is even more.

Because he still needs to eat a certain amount of meat.

According to this calculation, he needs to take 240 catties of grain from the space every month, 720 catties in one year, and [-] catties in three years.

In other words, he and Qin Huairu had already consumed [-] catties of grain.

Children's food, such as milk powder, complementary food, etc. have not been counted yet.

Then there is Lao Xu and Lao Zhangren, etc. These are extremely close blood and flesh ties, and they can turn a blind eye for many years, so why don't they help?

Even if it doesn't help much, it still needs a helping hand.

Therefore, it is necessary to increase the amount of grain purchases for many years.

At the same time, buy more meat.

There is also the reserve of milk and goat milk. He doesn't want his children to be without nutrition.

Qin Huairu's granary is big enough, but he is not worried that his children will not be nourished.

But it would be great to have some other preparations.

In his previous life, when he made his retirement plan, he developed a comprehensive plan.

It is precisely because of this habit that after so many years of tossing, the retirement plan has not been reached.

It is mainly a retirement plan with tens of millions of assets and cash, which is too difficult for ordinary people.

Back in Pigeon City, I haven't bought any more food for many years.

However, a second-hand dealer said that he had Maotai liquor tickets in his hand, which has attracted attention for many years.

"Cut, what's the point of having Maotai liquor tickets? I also have a milk cow ticket. I just received it a few days ago. Guess how much it cost?"

A few second-hand traffickers were bragging and chatting, their voices were not very loud, and they could be heard clearly when passing by for many years.

Hearing that there are milk tickets, my eyes have brightened a lot for many years.

"Comrade, do you want to sell the milk ticket in your hand?"

The price is not the problem, the most important thing is the availability of milk.

Since I came to this era many years ago, I have never heard of the word milk.

Because this thing is harder to buy than wine.

"Do not sell!"

The Erdao businessman refused without raising his eyelids.

"I collect them here for emergency use, how can I sell them casually?"

"No, how much did you pay for it? I'll pay double the price."

hiss!
A few second-hand traffickers suddenly gasped, so ruthless?
Although Erdao dealers are used to the price difference, they have never encountered such a high profit as double the price difference.

No wonder another second-hand dealer just refused directly.

If it is not an emergency need, who will buy milk?
"Really?"

Erdao Merchant's eyes lit up, and he stared at him for many years.

The latter nodded, "Just tell me, how much is it? I bought it."

He hasn't drunk milk yet, which is a relatively nutritious thing in this era.

It's not greedy, but I want to prepare it for Qin Huairu.

As for money, he is not short of it now. Compared with twenty hundred-dollar bills, it is basically equivalent to more than 6000 yuan.

With so much money, he was able to spend it years ago and exchanged it for food and meat, which is already against the sky.

According to the current pigeon market, he feels that the probability of spending it is not high.

I happened to hear that there was a milk ticket, so it was just right to get it.

The Erdao dealer in front of him took out two milk tickets and said:

"I got it back for fifty cents. Here are two milk tickets in total, one catty each, and a total of two catties."

After many years, I took a dollar and took the two milk tickets in my hand.

I saw the words "Jingcheng Milk Station" and other words engraved on it, as well as a red seal, with a large traditional Chinese character and a simplified Chinese character in the middle: Yijin!
In addition to the stamp, there is a line of small font below: valid for the current month.

According to the year and month on the seal, it has been determined for many years that this is a milk ticket for October.

hiss!
Not to mention expensive, but there are so many restrictions?

"By the way, comrade, you just said that you have Maotai liquor tickets, can you sell them to me too?"
