Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside

After Han Li mailed the letter declaring his safety to his family, he first went to the grain station and the state-run food supply station.

He will rely on himself for the rest of his life, and the kind of life that never worries about prices has completely disappeared.

At the very least, he now needs to know how much the local grain sells for a catty, so that he can arrange his monthly life.

After inquiring, he found out that the current grain price in AA County is fairly stable.

The best quality rice is only 25 cents a catty, and the top Fuqiang rice is 18 cents a catty.

Coarse cornmeal costs eight cents a catty, and all of the above items must be purchased by ticket.

The most difficult thing to buy is soybean oil, although it only sells for nine cents a catty.

But if you want to buy soybean oil, you not only need a ticket, but each person can only buy a maximum of two liang per month.

Han Li didn't want these things at all, he came here simply to inquire about the price.

Afterwards, Han Li came to the state-run food supply station again, and the meat here was already sold out before nine o'clock in the morning.

However, with Han Li's outstanding appearance, he also had a very polite and amiable attitude.

Finally, I found out the prices of all kinds of meat from an elder sister, and the other party took him to buy two catties of thigh bones.

You must know that this thing can usually be purchased only with a doctor's diagnosis certificate, but now Han Li bought it with his face.

There is also chicken in AA County for 70 cents a catty, but it is out of stock now.

Pork costs 8 cents and 8 cents a catty. If you want it, please come early and queue up, preferably before 4 o'clock in the morning.

Sea fish and other meats are temporarily not available for external supply and development, and a batch of goods may be supplied by the end of the year.

After Han Li bought the thigh bone, he escaped from here under various questions from his elder sister.

Then the whole femur was disassembled in the empty alley, and it became lying in the decomposition space section by section.

Next, Han Li arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative in the county seat. Fortunately, today was not a market day, and there were not many people inside.

Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying may have finished shopping and left, and Han Li showed his image of a local tyrant here.

Things that were not easy to bring from home before, here he replenished them at once.

Give me a big black iron pot and put it on my back. I need all accessories such as pot lid, steamer, and grate.

A casserole that can usually be used to cook porridge, and this casserole is also quite easy to use when crispy fish.

There were a few candles in Han Li's decomposition space, but in other respects, the deadly kerosene lamp was still easy to use.

Just one kerosene lamp for the deadly wind, and one kerosene stove. The kerosene is three catties first, and then it is not enough.

One thermos bottle, one kitchen knife, five locks, two plates and two bowls.

Two boxes of matches and one piece of soap. If you don’t have any soap, replace it with soap and washing powder.

The fruit hard candy that you don't want to vote for is two catties, what? There is a limit of half a catty per person, so half a catty will come.

The biscuits cost two catties, and the chicken cakes cost one catty. Originally, I wanted some soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings.

(Relevant tickets for biscuits and ordinary pastries have been canceled in 1970.)

I thought I didn't bring a bottle, so I had to give up temporarily.

However, these commonly used items are also sold in the supply and marketing cooperative over the Hongqi Commune, so I don't need to go to the county to buy them.

Before leaving, Han Li saw a sign on a corner of the counter, asking how much to accept and sell eggs per catty.

When he asked to buy some eggs, the salesperson opposite smiled.

"This comrade-educated youth looks like he came from a big city. We only have the purchase price and the sale price for eggs here."

"The eggs here have always been purchased, and no eggs have ever been sold here."

Han Li immediately understood in his heart that nutritious products such as eggs are also something that has a price but no market.

After the acquisition by the supply and marketing cooperative, it was either taken away by the superior department or digested internally by them.

There is a sign for sale here, which is actually just a joke to everyone.

At this time, the chickens raised in common people's homes were called the chicken butt bank, and the daily expenses such as salt and vinegar at home were all exchanged for eggs.

Especially in summer, each chicken can produce an egg almost every day.

Eggs left for a long time in hot weather will go bad, and ordinary people can only choose to sell them in supply and marketing cooperatives at this time.

Because it is relatively safe here, you don't have to worry about being caught.

Especially in summer, you can come here to sell at any time, and you don’t have to worry about the eggs being spoiled and worthless.

After buying everything he could think of, when Han Li just wanted to put the pot behind his back, he felt something was wrong.

If this big round iron pot is placed behind the back, it will feel like it is carrying a tortoise shell.

Han Li had no choice but to buy another pannier, and walked towards the state-run restaurant with the pot in one hand.

There are very few people who have eaten in state-run restaurants in these years, mainly because it is very uneconomical.

A bowl of ordinary noodles costs 10 cents, plus 2 taels of food stamps.

However, the amount given is relatively sufficient, and even people who often work in the fields can eat enough.

When Han Li came here, Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying had already arrived.

There was also an iron pan under their feet, and some miscellaneous things were wrapped in oiled paper.

"Han Li, we are here."

"Good guy, did you buy a lot of things?"

Han Li: "All of them are what I need in the future, and you bought quite a few."

Hao Hongmin: "We think the same as you, let's go and order food first."

"After dinner later, we still have to ask you about the house."

Han Li went to the window and ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles, while the two of them ordered Yangchun noodles.

During the meal, no one spoke, only the sound of them sucking noodles.

The three of them finished their meal in no time, Yang Xiuying said while touching her stomach that was a little full.

"Hi, the amount given here is really big, but the taste is not as good as ours."

Hao Hongmin: "Keep your voice down, be careful when the chef inside hears it and beats you."

Yang Xiuying..

"Han Li, what kind of house do you plan to build? Tell us for our reference."

When Han Li couldn't sleep last night, he really thought about how to build the house, so he talked about his thoughts.

"My preliminary plan is to build two rooms, one as my bedroom and living room, and the one outside as the kitchen."

"The stove in the kitchen is connected to the fire wall, and the kang is just enough to keep warm, and it can help us survive the long winter here."

"And when cooking, you don't have to worry about the oily smoke getting on your clothes and bedding. Even if someone comes, there is a buffer zone."

"As long as the house has enough area, I don't plan to build it too big. It will be easy to clean, and it won't be so enviable."

(Northeast rural areas used to basically have this kind of layout, and they called the kitchen (Outhouse).)

After Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying heard what Han Li had said, they started chatting about it immediately.
