Reborn in 1940 and survived until the new century

However, this cannot be done in the kitchen. One reason is that the kitchen is outside and it is not very convenient. Another reason is that the child is too young and cannot be left alone.

This can't just be done on Sundays, when the father looks after the child, while you do it in the house using a coal briquette stove.

In this way, even if everyone in the yard knows that the family is stewing pork, they cannot be sure that the family is also frying bacon at the same time, which also makes it convenient for the family.

The only downside is lighting the coal stove in the house, which makes it even hotter on hot days. Fortunately, it doesn't happen every day or every week.

This only happens once a month, and in the eyes of others it's just two pounds of lard.

In fact, it is not the case at all. When planning to make lard, Guo Huaian and I will go to buy it separately. In this way, the number is not just two kilograms.

Add the meat I bought last week and marinate it with salt. That’s all I have to do.

To be honest, even a 10-jin jar can’t hold it all, luckily I have no shortage of jars at home.

Gradually, before the policy came into effect, the family had saved up 5 jars of meat weighing ten kilograms each and 5 jars of animal oil weighing ten kilograms each.

That is, starting from July of this year, there were new restrictions on ordinary people buying meat, requiring a meat purchase certificate or a halal meat purchase certificate.

After the new regulations came down, each person is only supplied with 600 to 800 grams of pork per month. There was no restriction on beef and mutton before, but now there is. Each person is only supplied with 1.4 pound of beef and mutton per month, and only ethnic minorities can buy them.

In addition, even if you could buy pork offal at will last year, it is no longer possible this year once the policy comes out and you still need documents.

At the same time, a non-staple food purchase certificate is also required to buy other meat, poultry, eggs, vegetables, fish, fruits, etc.

In this case, ordinary people will be miserable. They have to plan everything they want to eat.

Even though there is no limit on the number of eggs, to be honest, you still have to be able to grab one.

If we didn't have chickens at home, we would probably have to buy the eggs outside.

However, I'm afraid I can't keep this chicken for too long. But no matter what, as long as I can keep it until early summer next year, I can save some eggs. Even if I wait until the child is a little older, I can eat salted eggs, right?

As for the eggs in the space, they will not be taken out unless it is absolutely necessary.

Even if you can take it out, it has to be already there at home.

You absolutely cannot have something you don't have. Fortunately, I have saved a lot of eggs and wild duck eggs in the past two years. I saved the extra ones and pickled them. Even if I can't eat fresh eggs in the future, it won't be a big problem.

This is what everyone is talking about when the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

"I don't know how this quota is allocated."

"Who knows this?

Fortunately, your family has many people, unlike ours, which has few people. Every time we cut the meat, we really can’t bear to eat it! "

“No one can recognize the food. Even if there are many people, it is impossible to eat it all in one meal.

After buying the meat that time, didn't you render out the fat first and then eat the rest in several portions?

If it wasn’t so hot, I would have made it into bacon and saved it for later.

There is only so much meat this month, how many times can it be eaten?"

"Who says it's not?

There is only a small amount of meat, so we have to save some in case someone comes to visit us someday.

Even if I don't have to entertain guests, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Am I going back to my parents' home empty-handed?"

"If you don't remind me of this, I won't be angry, but now that you mention this, I can't suppress my anger!

Now, not only are there restrictions on buying meat, but aren’t there restrictions on buying other things as well?

In the days ahead, I'm afraid there will be more and more restrictions on what we buy?"

“Why wait until later?

Don’t you see that even if there is no restriction on something now, you are still not allowed to buy too much?

In the past, you could buy sugar at will, but what about now?

Each household can only buy 0.5 kilograms per month, and each working person can only buy 0.125 kilograms per month.

Fortunately, there is no limit on the amount of brown sugar, otherwise how would we live?"

"How to live, just live the same way you lived before!

Otherwise, what else can we do? "

"That's right. After all, we are much better off than the country folks. We can buy things even with restrictions. But the country folks can't even buy things if they want to."

"Who says it's not?

If it really doesn't work, I'll just give a pound of brown sugar and half a pound of meat as a gift when I go back to my parents' home for the holidays this year. Is there really no other way?"

"It's the only way, what else can we do?"

There is indeed no way. If there was a way, everyone wouldn't worry about it.

Not only do you have to go back to your parents' home to give gifts, you can't go back to your husband's home empty-handed, right?

Fortunately, I have neither my own family nor my husband's family, otherwise, to be honest, the little bit of meat I have wouldn't be enough to share.

As for Uncle Zhang and the others, I had already discussed it with Guo Huaian.

"When we celebrate festivals, we can just give a medium-sized fish as a gift, although there are restrictions on the purchase of this fish.

But after all, there is no regulation prohibiting fishing in the river."

"That's true. Then let's send fish. I think we shouldn't send half-grown fish. Don't we have fried fish at home?

Each family can just bring over half a pound, which can be wrapped in oil paper.

Even if others see it, they won’t know what’s inside. We don’t want them to see us giving fish away and then gossip about us behind our back.

And didn’t you notice?

Since shopping certificates are now required to buy fish, more and more people are going to the river to fish or catch fish.

Even though the river nearby is not small, to be honest, it is not big enough for a big guy to fish like this, right?"

“It’s true. When I was fishing recently, I found that the fish I caught were significantly less than before, and they were also significantly smaller than before.

I think it might become harder and harder to catch this fish in the future!"

“It’s hard to fish, so it’s hard to fish!

We have no shortage of fish at home at the moment, it’s just that there’s nothing to do on Sunday.

While we are fishing, let's go and see if there are any wild animals, or wild duck eggs, pheasant eggs, and also dig up some wild vegetables.

Even if we mix them together like this, don't you realize that we have saved a lot of food?"

"It's not that I've saved a lot. I've got a lot of fat in my stomach, so I've eaten less food."

"That's right, but these foods must be hidden well and can't be discovered by others."

"Don't worry about this, no one knows how much food we have hidden in our house.

In fact, I think it is more convenient to hide the food coupons, but what you said makes sense. It is more reassuring to see the actual food."

"That's right. Food coupons are not as real as food. Besides, if something happens, food can save lives, but food coupons may not."

"You're right, but from now on, we will only have so many meat coupons every month, and to be honest, it's not enough to eat!
