Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Zizzi~

Liu Ping'an poured the boiling lard onto the fish meat that was torn apart by the steam.

A faint fragrance wafted out and was instantly absorbed by the spiritual spring space.

"It's really good, but it's a bit annoying to always use lard, and there's not enough of it."

Liu Ping'an scooped a bowl of steamed rice from the other side, took the steamed fish back to the main room and put it on the table.

These days, oil and grain are limited.

Especially during this period, oil coupons have become extremely precious. In the city, each person's monthly grain and oil quota is only three or five taels. Even if there are oil coupons, the maximum denomination is 1 catty.

The "shi" in 1 shijin refers to the unit of weight commonly used in the market, and 1 shijin is one jin.

Currently, only sesame oil and lard are available on the market, while rapeseed oil is a premium product that requires special tickets to purchase.

So Liu Ping'an's grandmother felt particularly distressed when she saw him using so much oil.

The saying “Spring rain is as precious as oil” is very true here.

"Lard and rapeseed oil are still useful to me. I'll find a chance to get a pig someday and raise it in the space so I can have lard sooner or later. But where can I get rapeseed?"

Rapeseed is the raw material for extracting rapeseed oil. It is generally divided into winter rapeseed and spring rapeseed, which should be available near Sijiucheng.

But Liu Ping'an at least didn't see it on the way back to his hometown.

"It seems I need to find time to go shopping more often. As long as I pick up a bunch of rapeseed, I can make rapeseed oil."

While thinking, Liu Ping'an picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks.

After taking a bite, Liu Ping'an showed a comfortable expression.

The fish tastes salty and fresh, the meat is tender and leaves a lingering fragrance in the mouth, making Liu Ping'an unable to stop eating it.

"The fish itself is very delicious, worthy of being the food produced in the Lingquan space."

The fish was particularly appetizing. After Liu Ping'an swallowed it, his mouth was constantly secreting saliva, which prompted him to constantly put rice and fish into his mouth to prevent the saliva from flowing out.

He ate with big mouthfuls, and after a while he got up comfortably to wash the dishes and clean the kitchen.

After finishing the kitchen, Liu Ping'an went outside and took down the mattress that had been exposed to the sun for half a day. The sun was no longer so gentle and it felt a little hot.

No one sits in the yard now, for fear of heatstroke.

Liu Ping'an carried the mattress back into the house. There was a warm and pleasant smell on the mattress.

He put the mattress on the earthen kang and lay down in the warm quilt with a comfortable expression on his face.

But he was not sleepy. He felt bored after lying down for a while.

"Too boring. I heard there are comic books for sale in Sijiu City. I wonder if I can buy a few and have a look. Oh, and there's also the radio thing. How could I have forgotten about it?"

Liu Ping'an slapped his head and immediately got up from the kang.

He had planned to buy a radio this morning, but he forgot about it because of Uncle Three's matter.

Liu Ping'an took out the radio ticket from the space, looked at it, then put the money in his pocket, put on a shoulder bag, and walked out of the house.

After going out, Liu Ping'an got on his bicycle, rode out of the courtyard gate and rode towards the supply and marketing cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperative was not far away. Liu Ping'an parked his bicycle at the door and walked in.

The saleswoman at the door was the same saleswoman Liu Ping'an had seen last time when he bought a bicycle. She was in a good mood today and asked Liu Ping'an in a friendly manner when she saw him, "What do you want to buy?"

Liu Ping'an was a little surprised, but he was not a cheap person and no one could pua him.

"And the radio?"

"Yes, do you have a radio ticket?"

Liu Ping'an took out the ticket and handed it to the salesperson. The salesperson looked at it and nodded, then bent down and took out a radio.

"This is a Meiduo 663-2-6 tube radio from Radio Factory No. 85. It's the latest product. The price is yuan. Do you want it?"

When Liu Ping'an saw this relatively small radio, he liked it very much.

He doesn't need a big portable radio. What's the point of having a big one? The sound will be the same, right?

"That's it."

Liu Ping'an paid the money and the salesperson handed him the radio.

Liu Ping'an took it and played with it for a while. He tried the effect and found it was quite clear. He received the channel immediately. There were not many channels, but it was more than enough for relieving fatigue.

Liu Ping'an originally planned to go back, but then he thought that he would have to go back to his hometown in a while, and he still had some money, so he might as well buy what he could now, and then come here to buy things next time after buying some tickets from Xiao Pan.

With this plan in mind, Liu Ping'an put the radio into his bag, actually into the space, and then took out the tickets he had obtained from the space.

Cloth coupons, shoe coupons, pastry coupons, sugar coupons, bread coupons, meat coupons.

Looking at it this way, I realize that I have quite few tickets.

Among them, the cloth coupons and meat coupons were his own, and the rest of the coupons were bought from Xiao Pan.

"We need to get some more tickets back so we can get more nourishing things for our body."

Liu Pingan estimated in his mind what he wanted, and then looked at the yawning salesman: "Comrade, do you have these things?"

Liu Ping'an kept the meat coupons, saying that the supply and marketing cooperative had no use for them.

He handed over the tickets all at once, and the salesperson took them and looked at them in surprise.

"You want to buy so many things?"

"Yes, I'm going back to my hometown in a few days to bring it to my family."

When the salesperson heard this, an expression of praise appeared on his face: "Good job, young man, you still remember your family, unlike some people..."

Liu Ping'an guessed that the saleswoman must have encountered some troubles, and it was related to what she said.

But Liu Ping'an didn't ask anything of her, so he didn't bother to blame her.

The saleswoman muttered a few words and called the saleswoman next to her to go get the things together.

After a while, the saleswoman stuck her head out and asked, "Comrade, you want 20 pairs of cloth shoes. Do you know the sizes?"

"You know, I wrote it to you?"

The saleswoman came out, took out a pen and paper and waited for Liu Ping'an to report the number.

Liu Ping'an's eyes were like a ruler. After thinking for a while, he told the shoe sizes of the Liu family, from grandpa Liu Xingwang's big feet to Liu Lele's small feet, he counted them one by one.

Then he told me his size.

This is all I have to say about 14 pairs of cloth shoes, as well as my aunt, uncle and her two children.

Needless to say, the aunt who is one’s own family must give it.

My uncle is an honest and decent man. His parents are both dead, but he is a down-to-earth and capable person, and he lives a decent life.

So definitely buy it.

Needless to say, my aunt’s children are my cousins. How can I favor one over the other?

That’s 18 pairs of cloth shoes, and there are two left.

To be honest, Liu Ping'an was just exaggerating when he bought 20 shoe tickets without thinking too much about it. Now there are two extra pairs of shoes here, so why not keep them?

Liu Ping'an suddenly thought of Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru whom he met in Qinjia Village.

One is beautiful, the other is young.

Liu Ping'an dreamed about them yesterday.

"Ahem, to make up for the guilt in my heart, I should buy it for them."

Liu Ping'an accurately said two more sizes and immediately comforted himself in his heart, I'm not lustful, it's just that my eyes are too sharp, I can remember them just by looking at the feet.

It’s definitely not lustful, absolutely not!

The salesperson probably liked Liu Ping'an and didn't think he was troublesome.

After memorizing the shoe size, she went back to find cloth shoes of the corresponding size.

Liu Ping'an was waiting at the supply and marketing cooperative. After looking around, he found that the cooperative was really large, with 6 sales clerks inside.

There were four women and two men, except for the two who were looking for goods, everyone else was just sitting there bored.

After a while, two salesmen came out with things.

"Come and order some bread, pastries, candies, cloth, 20 pairs of shoes. Order whatever you want. We will not be responsible once you leave the store."

Liu Ping'an took the thing and looked at it.

At this time, one ticket can only buy a limited amount of things, especially food.

There weren't many breads and pastries, only 1 pound each, but he could buy a lot of candies, after all, he used candy tickets.

At this time, sugar is classified very carefully.

Just based on the type of sugar, the tickets are divided into white sugar, brown sugar, table sugar, and candy.

Especially the first two, they are in limited supply and very precious.

Liu Ping'an looked at the cloth again. Cloth was precious at that time. One person could only get 3 feet per year, but as long as he had a cloth coupon, he could buy it. Liu Ping'an had 10 coupons and bought 30 feet of cloth.

There are quite a lot of these things, and Liu Ping'an may not be able to carry them all on his bike, but fortunately there is space.

"Yes, thank you comrade."

Liu Ping'an nodded, picked up the bags of things and left the supply and marketing cooperative, attracting the attention of passers-by.

They all looked at Liu Ping'an with envy. If Liu Ping'an's face had not been covered by the cloth, they would probably have wanted to see who this rich man was.

Liu Ping'an hurriedly rode his bike out of the supply and marketing cooperative and waited until there were fewer people around before riding into the alley.

Everyone was eating at this time, so there weren't many people outside.

After entering the alley, Liu Ping'an put all his things into the space, then rode his bicycle out of the alley with ease and rode towards the courtyard.
