Chapter 132 Strange Points

Shopping is like fighting a war, there are people everywhere.

It’s not easy to line up here, and it’s almost the same over there. Fortunately, Jiang Dabao is very smart. If he didn’t see Jiang Xue coming, he would let two people come in front of him. coming.

"Auntie, I'll be the next one in line." Jiang Dabao seemed to like queuing up to buy things very much, with a crooked smile, he ran away after talking to Jiang Xue.

There are too many people, let alone being cut in line, it is not surprising that one loses things if one is not paying attention.

Jiang Xue could only concentrate on following the team, not daring to let go of a single step.

It was not easy to line up, and at first glance, there were six or seven people surrounding the butcher's stall, shouting at the butcher's master for what they wanted.

There wasn't much left at the meat stand, at least not what Jiang Xue wanted.

Ribs?

No more.

Pork belly?
No more.

Hind meat?
No more.

This will leave scattered scraps.

Jiang Xue didn't speak in a hurry, but looked at the meat stall, feeling a little hesitant.

Or forget it?
Take the ones in the space first, and wait until the new year is over, and then find time to spend them?

But Jiang Xue quickly decided to buy it anyway, there was such a long queue, if she didn't buy it, Jiang Dabao knew she would be disappointed, right?

Naturally, she couldn't shout at the others. Soon, the people in front bought meat. Just when Jiang Xue was about to speak, the butcher stall master chopped a large kitchen knife on the cutting board, and the kitchen knife immediately stood on the cutting board. .

Then he turned around to say hello, and someone inside immediately lifted a piece of pork out.

When Jiang Xue saw it, her eyes lit up immediately, oops, this must be bought.

Then she immediately took out her wallet and smiled sweetly at the master chef who had just pulled out the kitchen knife: "Uncle...Comrade, I want three catties of plum blossom meat, two catties of hind legs, and two more catties, no, three catties lean meat."

A person in Jiangcheng City only has two taels of meat tickets a month, but Jiang Xuetao has exchanged meat tickets, and he didn't have a chance to use them before. Now he will see that there is a piece of pork, of course he will not let it go.

When a new door of pork was moved out, the people behind also squeezed forward excitedly, and some people even excitedly held up money and tickets and shouted what they wanted.

But Jiang Xue's series of words immediately attracted the attention of the person who had just filled the vacancy, and even made the people behind have opinions.

"You comrade, why do you buy so much?"

"That's right, that's right, just give out so many meat tickets, you want so much, do you have so many meat tickets?"

"If you buy so much, the people behind will still buy it."

"Yeah, after a new year, I'm still eating and drinking like this."

The master who performed the knife also looked at Jiang Xue, and seemed to be wondering if she had so much money.

The little girl looks pretty, fair and clean, and she speaks politely and nicely. An uncle is an uncle, and it is new to be a comrade uncle.

But buying meat is not only a matter of shouting, but also a meat ticket. It doesn't matter who comes.

Hearing the murmurs around, Jiang Xue immediately took out the meat ticket from her wallet, handed it to the master, and said obediently: "Comrade uncle, I'm not here to make trouble."

She had an idea, and quickly said to the surroundings: "I don't just buy my own, I also buy for my neighbors."

"Okay." Seeing the meat ticket, the master chef will naturally not refuse, seeing the ticket selling meat, that's what he does.

So, amidst the envy of everyone, the master took the meat ticket and the money, picked up the kitchen knife and swished it a few times, cut the meat well according to Jiang Xue's request, tied it with a rope, and threw it to Jiang Xue.

Pork is sold by grade, and what Jiang Xue wants is the best meat, so the price is naturally the same, [-] cents a catty.

Eight catties of meat only cost six yuan and forty cents. Jiang Xue put the meat in a woven bag, and when she carried it away, she exclaimed in her heart, it's so cheap.

There were too many people. Although Aunt Jiang and Jiang Dabao lined up separately, after the three of them bought everything, the whole morning passed.

"Very hungry~"

Jiang Xue rubbed her belly, Jiang Dabao nodded, and Aunt Jiang also said: "Let's go home, I'll make noodles for you."

The three of them carried and hugged and carried them. Halfway through the walk, Mrs. Jiang suddenly remembered and asked hurriedly.

"Girl, where's the food? Didn't you go to the food station first? Why didn't I see you carrying the food?"

Jiang Xue: "Godmother, I only bought three catties of fine grains, and nothing else."

"Ah? Is the grain station out of food?"

"No." Jiang Xue shook her head, carried the woven bag, and said while walking, "Isn't there still food at home? It’s not too late to go shopping when we’re almost done eating.”

Aunt Jiang suddenly nodded, "Yes."

Jiang Dabao's eyes sparkled, and he admired: "My aunt is so smart."

Jiang Xue smiled, this is so clever.

On the way back, Jiang Xue did some calculations. For the sake of two people, the total cost of buying these today, including the pork, was less than ten yuan.

No wonder at this time, as long as people have a job and the family is not too difficult, they can have a lot of extra money in their hands after eating and drinking for a month.

Think about it too, Chinese cabbage and white radish cost two cents a catty, and three Chinese cabbage and three white radishes only cost fifty-four cents.

Onion, ginger, garlic, dried shiitake mushrooms, dried fungus and salt cost one yuan, and one catty of peanut oil cost one yuan.

Three catties of white flour costs [-] cents, and one person can buy ten eggs a month, and twenty is one yuan...

After finally returning home, the three of them sat on chairs, looked at each other, and laughed together.

I was really hungry, so I didn't rest for long.

It's past lunch time, and I don't have time to cook three dishes and one soup at this time.

Boil the water, put the egg noodles in, and when it is almost cooked, break in three eggs, then put a packet of mustard greens, sprinkle with salt, put a few cabbage leaves, sprinkle with two drops of sesame oil, and it will be out of the pan.

A pot of noodles was shared among the three of them, and their stomachs felt plump after eating, and it was only then that they felt their strength returned.

Jiang Xue leaned on the back of the chair, touched her belly, and said, "Shopping is really a physical job, and it's the first time I've seen us crowd together to buy things, stepping on our feet, and there are people everywhere. "

Of course, Jiang Xue refers to her time travel.

In the original world, Jiang Xue had seen scenes more exaggerated than this, and she even lined up for people to buy things.

Aunt Jiang also nodded, and said: "Today's New Year's Eve coincides with the new month when wages and food stamps have just been paid. Everyone wants to have a good meal during the New Year, so there are more people than usual."

It’s okay not to mention this, but as soon as this was mentioned, Jiang Xue immediately began to think about what to have for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

"Mother, I bought eight catties of meat, enough for us to eat during the Chinese New Year."

After finishing the sentence, he continued: "As for the fish, I didn't buy any more. Six catties for two people is enough for two or three days."
