"Brother, how do you sell this meat?" Shu Zhiqiang led the donkey to the meat stall.

"Do you have a ticket?" The stall owner raised his head and looked at Shu Zhiqiang and asked.

Shu Zhiqiang took out the ticket given by his sister and found a meat ticket with only one kilogram.

Resources are scarce in this era, and every material is in limited supply, so buying many things requires a ticket.

If the eldest sister can give him a pound of meat stamps, she has probably already spent half of the meat stamps at home.

Shu Zhiqiang collected the tickets and looked at the stall owner: "How are you selling without tickets?"

Although you need a ticket to buy anything, it’s not a problem if you don’t have a ticket. You can just buy it at a premium.

The stall owner was not surprised and explained directly: "A piece of fat meat is worth 1 pound, chopped meat is 90 cents to a pound, lean meat is 85 cents to a pound, pork belly is 80 cents to a pound..."

What he said is free of charge. If you have a ticket, it can be a few cents to a dime cheaper.

According to Shu Zhiqiang's memory, he knew that his family had not eaten meat for a long time, so he saved all his money to prepare a wife for him and his brother.

In the last life, in order to marry Fu Huijuan, the whole family was really drained.

In this life, he must stay away from this woman and let his family live a life without worries about food and clothing.

Thinking of this, he looked at the stall owner and said, "Bring me two pounds of fat meat and one pound of pork belly."

The weather is hot now and there is no refrigerator at home. If you buy too much and don't finish it, it will definitely go bad.

He will set up a stall every day, so he can buy fresh food every day.

After hearing Shu Zhiqiang's words, the stall owner glanced at the patches on his clothes in surprise.

Wearing such simple clothes, you actually buy so much meat at once?

Although he was a little curious, he cut the pork quickly.

Two pounds of fat meat and one pound of pork belly cost three yuan in total. Shu Zhiqiang handed the money over and took the meat.

But when he lowered his head, he saw a pair of big bones on the meat rack.

Although there is not much meat in this thing, it is very filling when you take it back and stew the winter melon.

So he looked at the stall owner: "Brother, how do you sell these tube bones?"

"No one wants this thing. If you want it, I'll give you two cents."

"Okay, thank you."

"Uh uh uh"

Perhaps because of the smell of meat, the dock donkey breathed rapidly again.

This is not a vegetarian animal. It is obviously the reincarnation of a carnivorous animal.

Shu Zhiqiang looked back at it with a fierce and threatening expression.

"Stop screaming. It's not your business. If you scream again, I'll sell you and let others eat your flesh."

This trick worked really well, and the donkey stopped moaning after letting out a pitiful howl.

Shu Zhiqiang smiled slightly, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy daily necessities.

I bought a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes and gave two to the man at the door to help look after the donkey cart.

The other party happily took the cigarette and patted his chest to express that he would not lose it even if he lost his donkey.

Most old people in this era are very simple, and Shu Zhiqiang has nothing to worry about.

The cakes he bought last time were shared with his eldest wife's family, but Yuanyuan didn't get to eat them, so he first bought a pound of peach cakes and coconut cakes.

After buying the biscuits, he bought some White Rabbit toffee. Although it was expensive, it was worth it for his younger siblings.

Originally he wanted to buy two bottles of malted milk, but after thinking about it he gave up.

Three and a half dollars a bottle, two bottles would cost seven dollars, and he would have to buy a lot of things next.

After buying snacks, he went to buy two aluminum tubes of Chinese toothpaste and five toothbrushes.

Toothpaste at this time was not cheap. After all, the aluminum packaging alone cost just a few cents.

However, for the sake of his family’s oral health, Shu Zhiqiang is not stingy in this regard.

Next came two rolls of toilet paper. Children of later generations may not have experienced the life of wiping their buttocks with wood blocks and leaves.

The feeling of getting your hands on rice fields is so refreshing.

After buying daily necessities, he went to buy some spices, star anise, cinnamon and dozens of other kinds.

This thing is a necessity for cooking. Without it, meat seems to lose its flavor.

Later, Shu Zhiqiang went to the grain and oil store and bought five kilograms of rice, two kilograms of white flour, and five kilograms of rapeseed oil.

He didn't want to drink cornmeal anymore. It tasted so bad that it couldn't be compared with the cornmeal of later generations.

A shopping trip cost more than half of today's income, and Shu Zhiqiang did not continue spending.

His parents would probably have to scold him and feel sorry for him for a few months if he just bought these things.

When he walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative, he found that the uncle was holding the donkey and staring at him intently.

When he saw Shu Zhiqiang coming out, he stood up directly.

The uncle is the uncle, and he is so honest that it makes people feel distressed.

"Uncle, thank you." Shu Zhiqiang put everything on the cart, then took out a cigarette and hit it.

The uncle stared at his things for a while, then came to his senses and took the cigarette.

"Young man, an important guest is coming to your home? Buy so many things!"

How much do these things cost? His whole family has been reluctant to buy them for several years.

"I don't have any guests. The main reason is that I felt I owed my family before. Now that I have the opportunity, I want to be nice to them."

Shu Zhiqiang explained, then pulled the donkey and walked towards home, buying two bottles of Daqu on the way.

When I came to the market, I carried fish in my bag. I was afraid that the fish would jump out and I walked very slowly, so it took me almost an hour.

Now there are some supplies on the cart, so it is much faster to get home.

In about half an hour, he entered Fu's house above, and then went straight to Shu's house, which was in the middle.

At this time, it was just time for dinner, and the villagers were all coming back from the fields.

When they saw Shu Zhiqiang coming back with his donkey, their faces were full of curiosity.

"Hey, Qiangzi, where did you get this donkey from? Why do you look a bit like that old bachelor Fu Yunshan?"

"Qiangzi, where are you driving the donkey? To the market?"

“Good guy, there’s so much meat, big bones, and even several fish;

How many good things have you bought, and you don’t want to live your life? "

"Don't talk nonsense. Qiangzi must have bought this for that girl Huijuan. After all, they are almost a family, right?"

Facing the essays from a group of fellow villagers, Shu Zhiqiang could still reply calmly.

But when someone mentioned Fu Huijuan, he had to explain.

"Uncles and aunts, I have nothing to do with Fu Huijuan, let me clarify this matter again;

I won't marry her, and I won't get married to her. Let's just pretend that I'm not worthy of her and expose this matter, okay? "

After saying that, he ignored everyone's surprise and drove his donkey home.

Looking at his back, a group of villagers looked at each other.

"Is this Qiangzi crazy, or is he talking nonsense? Girl Huijuan is willing to let such a good daughter-in-law go without her?"

“I’m probably crazy, otherwise I wouldn’t have bought so many things.

Those things can't be bought for less than ten yuan. Who can make them like this? "

"Don't talk nonsense. Qiangzi still knows himself. He is really not worthy of Huijuan as a farmer.

I heard that Huijuan is going to the candy factory tomorrow. It's an iron rice bowl, and it only costs thirty yuan a month. "

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at the man who spoke.
