Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 27 Price
"Well, it happened a few days ago. I was too busy at work and couldn't rest. The doctor also said that I was anemic and malnourished. I came back in the past two days. I am preparing to go to the county hospital to pick up the secretary today!"

Xiao Zeng sighed and said.

"Then we should open a small stove for Secretary Cong and make some delicious food."

Jiang Defu was surprised.

However, malnutrition is not uncommon in these days.

"That's right, I'll have people in the kitchen open a small stove for Secretary Cong in the future. The things you brought here will be used! I'm going to the county to pick up Secretary Cong today. If you come over later, you can also meet Secretary Cong. "

Xiao Zeng said happily.

Jiang Defu still had a lot of things to do today, and Xiao Zeng was also very busy at work, so he naturally refused Xiao Zeng's polite words.

After chatting with Xiao Zeng some more about daily life, Jiang Defu left. He had to go to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative to check out and buy some things.

The state-owned store is on Commercial Street.

It is said to be a commercial street, but it is actually just one store, called the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperative has a large area. It is said to be one store, but it is actually divided into three parts, with separate counters:
The first counter sells grain, oil and salt;
Counter [-] sells fabrics, needlework, etc.;

Counter three sells hardware and other groceries.

The most people are at the grain and oil counter, buying grain, oil, salt and other daily indispensable items.

There were very few people at the other two counters.

Yes, having enough to eat is a big problem these days, who has the time to dress up!
The area of ​​the grain and oil store is indeed quite large. It is divided into grain area and oil and salt area.

There is a paper with the price of the item on it:
Flour: 0.18 yuan/jin;
Rice: 0.2 yuan/jin;
Cornmeal: 0.09 yuan/jin;
Peanut oil: 0.7 yuan/jin;
Salt: 0.15 yuan/jin;
Sugar: 0.7 yuan/jin;
Eggs: 0.5 yuan/jin.

The price is not expensive!

Jiang Defu has never spent money in this world, and he still doesn't know much about the changes in money here.

He now has 52 yuan in his hand and is thinking about how much he can buy.

He originally thought that beef and mutton were sold here. When he came to buy something, Xiao Zeng told him roughly what kind of goods were sold here.

There is no meat to sell now. The supply and marketing cooperatives have just opened not long ago. They are all state-owned. Food is all purchased or brought from the grain depot. As for meat, there are currently no state-owned farms. Naturally, there is no meat to sell. selling.

"Next year, meat and other non-staple foods will gradually be available! Secretary Cong is busy during this period because he is too worried about people's livelihood issues. There are too many things!"

The two talked about shopping at the supply and marketing cooperative, and Xiao Zeng told Jiang Defu the general situation.

Jiang Defu was a little regretful. It seemed that the beef and mutton he wanted to eat might have to wait a little longer.

Jiang Defu asked for 30 kilograms of flour. A bag of flour weighed 30 kilograms. He just wanted a small bag. The word "Fu Qiang" was written on the flour bag.

Jiang Defu remembered that there seemed to be a brand of flour in his previous life, and it was also this brand.

However, he didn't cook often, and he bought relatively few grains and oils, so his memory was a little fuzzy.

I bought another 10 kilograms of rice and cornmeal. Since I still had corn at home, I naturally didn’t buy it.

I bought a 5-pound bucket of peanut oil. There is very little oil at home. When Zhang Guilan cooks, he takes a chopstick and simply dips it in it a few times. He is rarely willing to eat too much oil. This is why it is difficult to have delicious food in this era. .

Yanba Jiang Defu looked at it and saw that it turned out to be large salt grains. This... isn't this industrial salt?
This salt was in the salt shaker that Zhang Guilan cooked in. He was surprised when he saw it and felt that it was unsafe to eat.

The second brother, Jiang Decai, said that he had never seen anyone get into trouble after eating it for several lifetimes. The family only ate this kind of salt.

Jiang Defu still didn't believe it. The most important thing when he came to the town this time was to see what the salt here was like!
The result is still the same!

There is also industrial salt in the system. Jiang Defu has earned nearly 2000 points in these days. If he wants to buy salt, his family will not be able to finish it for several lifetimes.

But considering that those points still need to be used to buy fertilizer and other things, I won’t buy salt yet!
He thought the supply and marketing cooperative sold refined salt, but he didn't expect it to be the same.

However, the system does not want to buy so much at once, and if too much salt suddenly comes out of the system, the family will be surprised, so it is better to buy some first, so as not to be in trouble later.

I asked for another 5 pounds of salt!

As for eggs, the four hens at home can lay pretty good eggs. I was reluctant to eat them before because I had to replace them with salt. Now there will be no shortage of salt to eat, and those eggs can also be used to improve our food.The salesperson calculated the items he bought and found that the total price was 10.9 yuan.

Jiang Defu took out 11 yuan to pay.

"Comrade, we can't give change here. Look at what else you need and convert it into something for you."

the saleswoman said loudly.

This young man was wearing very tacky clothes when he came in. He didn't look like someone who was eating public food at all. He didn't expect that he would be so lavish when he bought things. It seemed that he had made a mistake.

Seeing Jiang Defu taking out 11 yuan without hesitation, he seemed to still have some big bills in his hand. The salesperson's eyes became brighter and his attitude became more eager.

"Why can't you get change?"

Jiang Defu was a little puzzled. Isn't this the shop bullying customers?You don't even have any change, why should you forcefully buy and sell your own things?

If in the previous life, let alone a dime, fifty cents would often fall on the ground, and some people would not want to pick them up.

But now it's different!

Not to mention he was too poor, 1 cent could buy more than a pound of cornmeal.

"I don't have a dime to change! How can I find it?"

The salesperson also felt baffled.

No change?Jiang Defu was a little puzzled.

"Young man, this is your first time to buy something. You may not know that the smallest note we have now is 1 yuan. It's not like before when there were two thousand or a few cents. There are none now. We have to find the rest. You can use the change to buy other things!
After buying the grain and oil here, you can see what else you need to buy for fabrics and chores over there. The money can be converted into it! "

A middle-aged man wearing a Chinese tunic suit said enthusiastically.

No change in this day and age?

The smallest note is 1 yuan?

This is really Jiang Defu's knowledge blind spot. He should go back and ask if there are no dime notes in this era.

"Then I want some cloth!"

Seeing that there are people queuing up behind me, it’s not a problem to stand here by myself.

Since returning to his hometown, he has passed down a few pieces of tattered clothes, which have turned white after being washed.

His clothes are quite good. Many people in the village have large patches on top of small patches. Jiang Decai's pants have two layers of patchwork on the knees, and Zhang Guilan's clothes are the same.

In this case, it is better to buy some fabrics and make clothes for everyone.

"Old Wang, he still has 1 cent left here. Let's buy some cloth from you to pay for it!"

The girl selling grain and oil has quite a loud voice.

"Okay! Young man, what kind of cloth do you want to buy? Come over here quickly!"

A middle-aged man in his forties or fifty shouted to Jiang Defu.

"What kind of cloth are they? What's the price?"

"Young man, now we only have white cloth, which costs 5 cents per foot. The price is the most affordable. This is processed cloth. New cloth will come in a while, and it will cost 6 cents. If you can buy it, hurry up and buy it!"

The middle-aged man said with a smile, he is a good salesman.

Jiang Defu saw that the cloth was coarse white cloth.

"This...isn't this the white cloth used for funerals?"

Jiang Defu couldn't help but blurted out.
