Chapter 57, you still need to have acquaintances

Everything Fatty Ma wants is ready.

After drinking some well water to calm down the fire, I quietly left the space.

Instead of leaving directly, he quietly came to the side and put his hand deep into the water. Suddenly, the river water directly entered the puddle in the space.

After the puddle was full, he pushed the cart toward the roadside with great difficulty.

It's much easier to walk on the main road.

After giving it a try, I pushed the cart back to the Dongfeng Restaurant, where Fatty Ma was already there.

Seeing people coming, Ma Baoshan pointed to the basket next to him and said, "Put it in here!"

Yang Xiaole opened the bag and said with a smile: "Please help me get it. This is too heavy. My father put it on when it came here."

Fatty Ma looked at his small body, went over to untie the bag, and poured the things into the bamboo basket.

He picked up the long scale beam next to him and hung it on the basket to weigh it.

"Without the basket, the total is 63 kilograms and 2 taels."

Yang Xiaole just nodded and said nothing. After all, he just felt it. He didn't know the exact weight yet.

After weighing, pour it into another basket.

Then he poured out another cloth bag.

"Wait a minute! These eels cannot be weighed together."

Yang Xiaole picked up two large eels into the bag and asked him to continue weighing them.

Fatty Ma took one look and continued weighing the remaining fish.

"57 pounds and 4 taels."

"Eel weighs 6 pounds and 9 taels."

"The bastard weighs 46 pounds and 4 taels."

After weighing himself, Fatty Ma wiped the sweat from his head.

He did some math on the side and said: "Let's count the fish first. It's 120 kilograms and 6 taels in total. Let's count it as 120 kilograms. It's 3 cents and 5 cents per kilogram. It's 42 yuan in total. Let's count this eel as 1 yuan a kilogram. It's the same as the tortoise.

, a total of 53 kilograms and 53 yuan, adding up to 95, right."

Yang Xiaole naturally did the math, "Well, the number is right."

As for the erased fractions, he didn't care.

Hearing this, Fatty Ma ordered eight ten-dollar bills and one five-dollar bill and handed them to him, and then said:

"Here are the tickets. The food stamps are only 20 kilograms, 1 cents per kilogram, 2 yuan and 2 cents.

Meat coupons are 5 pounds, 8 cents per pound, 4 yuan.

Gas stamps cost 4 kilograms, 6 cents per kilogram, a total of 2 yuan and 4.

The tofu ticket is 28 pounds, 5 cents per pound, a total of 1.5 yuan, exactly 10 yuan, right."

Yang Xiaole calculated it for a while, then took it with a smile: "The number is just right, no more, no less."

Some are even cheaper than Pigeon Market.

I guess it was the price the fat man paid for it, or he charged too much.

As for tofu tickets being so cheap, the main reason is that tofu is not expensive at 7 cents per pound, so few people sell it.

Because this is the best source of protein for ordinary people, it is not just a question of whether it tastes good or not.

In the past, you could exchange beans for them by going to the commune.

He doesn't know if it will work now. If he can still change it like before, he won't even bother to get tofu tickets.

When the food is cooked, you can make it yourself or change it.

After counting the money in my hand, plus what was left before, the total is 90 yuan and 70 cents.

Don’t buy big items, it will save you a lot of time.

Fatty Ma looked at him and said, "If you have any good things in the future, remember to bring them to me. You will never be short of money."

"Hey, okay, don't worry."

Yang Xiaole agreed, he must be looking for trouble!

Just the good things the other person said?

What is a good thing?

Everything depends on the time. If you haven't eaten it for a while, let alone ordinary chicken, duck and fish, sweet potatoes are rare things.

Sweet potatoes that originally cost three cents a pound, let alone three cents, are still wanted for three cents.

After putting the things away, he put the cloth bag back, and then said to Fatty Ma: "Uncle, my dad is waiting for me over there! I'm going back, it's almost dark."

The factory has an 8-hour working day and gets off work at 5 o'clock, so it's already close to 6 o'clock.

Fatty Ma waved his hand nonchalantly, "Okay, you go first, I have something else to do."

Upon seeing this, Yang Xiaole said hello and left.

You have to buy everything you need quickly and go home quickly, don't get caught.

There are non-staple food stores and grain stations in the textile factory family area, because not all people here live in dormitories, and there are also many couples and families here.

Since there was one here and it wasn't closed, he went in directly.

Look at the dazzling array of things, candies, cans, tea, condiments, biscuits, pastries, snacks, cigarettes, wine, and fruits.

Looking at the cigarette counter, he went over to take a look.

There are cigarette sellers in the commune, so they naturally know some things.

Class A and Class B cigarettes require tickets. Zhonghua is naturally a Class A cigarette, while later cheap cigarettes such as Daqianmen and Mudan are Class B.

There are a bunch of brands that have never been heard of in later generations, such as Aimin, Seven Diamonds, Cart, Daxing, and Five-Star.

These are free of charge and the prices are cheap.

I thought that although I don't smoke, having a cigarette when I go out can save a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, he came to the counter and said to the waiter: "Bring me three packs of big cocks."

After saying that, he took out 4 cents and handed it to the other party.

The waiter didn't pay attention, and the children bought a lot of cigarettes for me.

I took three packets and handed them over, giving him 4 cents in change.

Yang Xiaole took the things and glanced at the egg seller next to him.

At this time, an aunt was pleading there: "Please take a look at it. Many of the eggs I bought last time smelled bad. We don't have much ration this month."

Yang Xiaole knew what the aunt meant.

There is a lamp next to it, and you can tell if the eggs are broken by putting them on it.

The waitress picked the eggs without raising her head.

After making the selection, she drooped her eyes and said angrily:

"Okay, some will be good to eat. It's such a hot day. This batch of eggs is sent from your province. It's thousands of miles away. How can there be a few bad ones? You can pick him, too. These eggs

Who are you selling it to? Don’t try to poach the public!”

The shopping aunt sighed.

I could only pay the money obediently. The waitress took the money and the ration book, wrote and drew on them, and returned them.

After the person just left, another aunt came.

She called the egg seller affectionately: "Yue'e, Guanglin will come back tomorrow and weigh some eggs for me. You have to choose good ones!"

Seeing this person, the attitude of the waitress immediately changed.

"Hey, can someone from the yard let you take the smelly stuff back? Don't worry."

Then he opened the box and took pictures of the eggs with a smile, while chatting there.

Yang Xiaole took a look and realized that someone still needs someone to do it!

I turned around and went to the place selling oil next door.

Looking at the man smoking there, he smiled and said, "Uncle, give me some oil, 5 pounds of peanut oil."

What the fat man gave me today plus the one pound of gas stamps I bought last time, totaling 5 pounds, I bought them all. Anyway, these things are not like food stamps and can be used when going out.

It's a pity that I can't buy sesame oil.
