Chapter 88 Little Book

"Meat is hard to buy, but pork liver is easy to buy, and it doesn't cost a ticket."

No votes for pork liver?
Yi Chichi raised his eyes and looked over, "Who did you listen to?"

"I don't know about other places. The security guard doesn't charge a ticket for things like pig livers and pig feet in water."

Good guy, there is such a good thing.

Yi Chi regretted it. If she had known that there would be no tickets for these things, she could go to the commune meat stall every day.

"Every day?"

"What are you thinking about? The pork is distributed uniformly by the meat factory."

Having said this, Wu Yongfei was struck by another thunderbolt.

"In addition, pig livers, pig feet, etc. generally cannot be drained out. They are basically divided up by people in the meat joint factory or related households."

Yi Chichi,...that is to say, even if she is willing to go to the commune to squat every day, she may not be able to squat.

In an instant, she gave up the idea of ​​staying there, "It's 23 tomorrow, do we have to clean the house?"

"Go to the commune tomorrow."

"What are you doing?"

"Take a shower, hand over the matchbox, and stop by the supply and marketing cooperative."

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the supply and marketing society has distributed a batch of non-vouched non-staple foods.

"are you going?"

"go with!"

So, a group of people went to the commune the next day.

Yi Chichi followed Wang Nan and the others to the bathhouse in Erdaokou. When they arrived, they found a sea of ​​people. Countless people lined up at the door carrying basins for washing.

Yi Chichi and the others waited in line for almost an hour before it was their turn.

The bathing fee is 3 cents, and employees have a cleaning fee, which is specifically used for bathing and haircuts.

Yi Chichi and the others did not wash the receipts and needed to pay for the tickets on the spot.

Children under one meter are priced at 150 cents, and those above one meter are priced the same as adults, which is 30 cents.

There are also many parents who bring their children to wash.

There are separate areas for men and women. As soon as you enter the vast white area, a wave of heat hits your face.

Yi Chichi took a long breath, thinking it was really warm here.

"Take off your clothes quickly and take a shower. There is a time limit."

Wang Nan and Ge Sujuan, who come here every year for cleaning, are familiar with this place, so they get busy with Yi Chichi and Zhou Qiuyu.

After more than half an hour, the four of them came out refreshed and with rosy cheeks.

Then--

"Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative and meet Bai Chen and the others."

"go!"

As a result, when I arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, I discovered that the people here were more exaggerated than those in the bathhouse.

It would be an understatement to say that there were huge crowds of people.

At any rate, everyone in the bathhouse was queuing up, and it was very orderly. No one came in without the waiter shouting, and they all waited patiently.

The supply and marketing cooperative is different, chaotic and crowded.

As soon as Yi Chichi and the others entered, they were pushed apart by the crowd.

The original plan of going to which counter to buy something was just a dream. I couldn't squeeze through those aunties, aunts and sisters, and there were many men who couldn't squeeze through.

They can only be coerced into action by the flow of people.

After finally breaking through, I reached the counter with the slogan "Serving the People", but was told by the waiter that the goods were sold out.

The smile on Yi Chichi's face froze and he said in disbelief, "All sold out?"

"Everyone who doesn't want tickets is sold out, but there are still people who want tickets."

After tapping the counter at the opposite corner, the waiter said, "You can go there if you have a ticket."

Yi Chichi followed her finger and looked over. She was disappointed that there were just as many people there.

But she can give it a try, just in case she is lucky.

Thinking of this, Yi Chi took a deep breath, turned around, rushed into the crowd and went upstream.

Five minutes later, she arrived at the counter with messy hair and feet that felt swollen from being stepped on.

However, the joy of shopping made her ignore the pain in her toes.

The customer in front of him had just left with his things. Yi Chichi, who had been observing for a long time, excitedly jumped on him and opened his mouth to read a long list of item names.

"Comrade, give me half a pound of hard candies like the white rabbit, biscuits, pastries, red sausages... what are those?" she asked curiously, pointing to the items wrapped in brown paper.

"cake!"

"???"

Are there any cakes for sale now?
She had a question mark on her forehead, looked at the cake with oil soaking the paper, thought about it for two seconds, and then asked, "Sell by the pound or by the piece?"

"catty."

"How much does it cost per pound?"

"2.2 per pound, no votes!"

Wow, this price is really expensive.

"Give me a pound."

Give it a try and see what the cakes of this era taste like.

"Any more?"

"The Spring Festival construction is the same as three packs, and canned goods come in two packs."

To welcome the Spring Festival to my grandpa and the others, and to Da Jianshe to present the team leader and branch secretary, you still have to pay attention to your dealings with people.

"any left?"

"Gone."

The waiter glanced at her and Ma Liu calculated the total, "Total 17.68, six cigarette tickets, candy tickets..."

"Give!"

Here she finished her report, and Yi Chichi also finished counting the tickets and handed over the money.

The waiter took it, looked at it, tore off the slip, clamped the ticket and money on the iron clip on the wire.

Then he pushed hard, and the iron clip flew out with a whoosh, and went straight to the cashier.

After the cashier collected the money, he put the stamped ticket and change in the iron clip and pushed it back.

Yi Chichi took the change, took the basket, and put everything packed by the waiter into it.

After leaving the tobacco, alcohol and non-staple food counter, she was going to go to the daily necessities area, but she ran to the cultural supplies area and saw the little book with her sharp eyes.

You can buy this.

There were not many people in the cultural supplies section, so she bought pencils, stationery and other items, as well as books about small characters such as "Great Changes in the Mountain Country", "Zoya and Shula", "No. 51 Military Station", "Little Heroes Come in the Rain".

A set of four copies of "Great Changes in Mountain Country" costs less than one yuan.

Zoya and Shula 0.25...Four sets of villain books, the total cost is less than 2 yuan.

Looking at the brand new little book in his hand, Yi Chichi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, today's little book is really cheap.

Just as I was about to leave, I saw the calendar again and asked for one.

Then she went to the daily necessities counter. The supply and marketing cooperative had a complete range of daily necessities, including tea sets, thermos bottles, washbasins, etc.

In addition, there are soap, cream, toothbrushes, toothpaste, scalp oil, needles, thread, and the like.

Yi Chichi bought soap, toothbrush and toothpaste.

She didn't buy any cream, she could make it herself.

The oil was almost at the bottom, so I went to the grain and oil section and bought a pound of oil and a pound of vinegar. Then I left the supply and marketing cooperative and waited for my friends at the door.

About half an hour later, Wang Nan came out.

Then came Ge Sujuan and the others.

Wu Yongfei came out last, holding a bunch of candied haws with only one hawthorn fruit left in his hand.

Seeing the candied haws on a stick, Yi Chichi suddenly felt a sour taste in his mouth, "Where did the candied haws on a stick come from?"

"It was on sale before, so I grabbed this one."

I was reluctant to eat it, but in the end I only had one left.

Seeing that Yi was staring at the candied haws for a long time, he took a bite, then handed it over with great reluctance and pretended to be generous, "Would you like to try it?"

"Thank you, no!"

She has no interest in candied haws. She has not liked eating it since she was a child. Even if it is coated with a layer of syrup, it feels sour.

Wu Yongfei was so eager that he immediately retracted his hand and took the candied haws in his mouth.

Bai Chen and the others just rolled their eyes, not really, not really, as if they were trying to snatch his piece of candied haws.

"go back?"

"Back."

A group of people returned with a full load. Halfway there, just after passing the corner, a familiar figure burst into view.
