Chapter 18: Go to the supply and marketing cooperative and go crazy shopping, so cool!
After Song Cenyue arrived at the black market, he first looked for flour and successfully found someone selling flour. He bought five kilograms of flour and then took out his food coupons and grain purchase books to sell.
Grain coupons and grain purchase books were in great demand at that time, and soon an old man came and bought them all, allowing Song Cenyue to earn a total of 170 yuan.
After selling the food coupons and food purchase books, Song Cenyue left the black market and returned home, then entered the space to plant "flour". However, she was disappointed because the flour did not turn into wheat, but turned into paste after being watered with spiritual spring water.
Song Cenyue was depressed. Fortunately, she only grabbed a handful of flour to try planting and did not plant all five kilograms of flour, otherwise five kilograms of flour would have been wasted.
Although flour could not be grown as successfully as rice, Song Cenyue still planned to try growing other crops to see if they could be grown.
She took the corn, red beans and other crops she had at home to the space to plant, but all failed.
It seems that I can only grow rice! Song Cenyue felt a little sorry, but being able to grow rice was already good enough.
Rice is the most important staple food and the most indispensable. If you have space to grow rice, not only will you not have to worry about running out of rice to eat in the future and be able to have enough to eat throughout your life, but you can also sell some of it and make money.
I thought about planting more rice, but there is no rice mill now, so I can't husk the rice after planting it. It would be very stressful to have a pile of rice. So I won't plant rice for the time being until a rice mill is built.
Song Cenyue left the space, left home, and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
She had a ton of tickets and had to buy them all and stock up on everything she needed.
Arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, Song Cenyue went to the place where sugar was sold first and said to the sugar salesman, "Comrade, I would like to weigh ten kilograms of brown sugar and white sugar each."
At that time, supplies were too scarce, and things like sugar became a good thing. If you gave some sugar to someone's family, that family would be very happy and would treat you as a distinguished guest.
There was no other way. At that time, each person was only supplied with two taels of sugar per month, which was pitifully little.
"Little girl, you want ten pounds of brown sugar and white sugar each. Did I hear you correctly?" the salesperson exclaimed, with a look of shock on his face, and hurriedly looked closely at Song Cenyue in front of him.
It's rare to see someone so arrogant that he asked for ten kilograms of brown sugar and white sugar right away. You have to know that at that time, a person was only supplied with two taels of sugar a month, so people who came to buy sugar weighed them in taels, and some even only weighed one tael. It was rare to see someone weighing three or five kilograms, let alone ten kilograms of each, a total of twenty kilograms.
This little girl is so pretty. Her face and figure are so rare that even a woman like her feels a little moved when she sees her.
She has a good temperament...but her clothes are ordinary. Judging from her attire, she doesn't look like a high-ranking official's daughter. She shouldn't have so much money and so many candies.
Seeing the salesperson looking at her suspiciously, Song Cenyue's pretty eyebrows twitched slightly. Was he doubting that she couldn't afford it?
"You heard me right, I just want to weigh ten kilograms of brown sugar and ten kilograms of white sugar." Song Cenyue said as she took out a small stack of sugar tickets, and then took out two big unity tickets and handed them to the salesperson.
Each of these sugar tickets weighs two kilograms, and there are ten in total, which is just enough to weigh twenty kilograms of sugar.
At that time, sugar was 78 cents per pound, and 20 pounds of sugar cost 15.6 yuan. For ordinary people, this was too much and might hurt, but for her, it was just a drop in the bucket. She was now a millionaire and could say arrogantly: I have plenty of money! I am very rich!
The salesperson was a little dumbfounded when he saw the ticket and money Song Cenyue handed over. He kept saying in his heart: You can't judge a person by his appearance, and you can't measure the depth of the sea! Who would have thought that this little girl in such ordinary clothes was a rich person and so arrogant.
"Young comrade, please wait a moment. I will weigh the sugar for you right away." The salesperson immediately put on a warm business smile and said politely.
Song Cenyue snorted in her heart: Her attitude changed so quickly! But her previous attitude wasn't that bad, so she didn't bother with her.
The salesperson quickly weighed twenty kilograms for Song Cenyue, and Song Cenyue went to buy other things with the candy.
She planned to buy all the tickets she had looted from the Song family before. There were a lot of tickets, including all kinds of tickets.
In just over ten minutes, Song Cenyue bought a lot of things from the sales department, including oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, eggs, rapeseed oil, malted milk, vermicelli, peanuts, kelp skins and a bunch of other food.
There were also military water bottles, canvas satchels, toilet paper, sanitary belts, soap, scented soap, soap boxes, washing powder, washbasins, towels, light bulbs, flashlights, batteries, matches, kerosene, coal briquettes, thermos bottles, kettles, aluminum lunch boxes, pencils, pens, brushes, notebooks and a lot of other things, even needles and thread.
Anyway, I have the tickets, it would be a waste not to buy them.
She also bought two pairs of Jiefang brand rubber shoes, thinking of wearing them when working in the fields, and a few pairs of cotton gloves, two scarves, and half a piece of flowered cloth, since she had the tickets.
Because she still had cigarette and wine coupons, she also bought two packs of cigarettes, two bottles of wine, and two cans of oranges.
She used up all the pastry tickets and weighed a lot of pastries. When she left the supply and marketing cooperative, she was carrying large and small bags, which she carried on her back, clamped, and lifted. Everyone in the supply and marketing cooperative was shocked and stunned.
Where did this rich woman come from? She could afford so many things and she is so strong that she can carry so many things. I think it would take three people to carry all the things she bought, but she carried them all by herself. She is really as strong as an ox.
Song Cenyue didn't care what others thought. She was thinking that she still had tofu coupons, vegetable coupons, and oil coupons that had not been used, so she had to use them.
In fact, there are urine tickets, but these are really useless and I don’t want to use them.
Thinking about this era is a bit bizarre. Not only do there are things like urine tickets, but there are also things like feces tickets.
Song Cenyue left the supply and marketing cooperative, found a deserted place, entered the space, put all the things she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative in the space, and then ran to the vegetable company's store to buy vegetables.
At this time, vegetables for city dwellers were supplied by vegetable companies, and you needed tickets to buy them.
Song Cenyue used the vegetable coupons to buy a total of 21 kilograms of various vegetables, then ran to the tofu factory's sales outlet to buy five kilograms of tofu, and finally went to the meat processing factory's sales outlet to buy 50 kilograms of meat.
The butcher at the meat processing plant's sales outlet was dumbfounded when he heard that Song Cenyue wanted to weigh 50 kilograms of meat. He seriously suspected that he had heard it wrong. She said three times with a very sure expression that she was really buying 50 kilograms of meat, and even took out the ticket, before the other party believed her.
It's no wonder that the other party was like this. At that time, it was rare to see people weighing five kilograms of meat at a time, let alone weighing fifty kilograms at a time.
After leaving the meat processing plant's sales outlet, Song Cenyue went home. On the way, she found a deserted place, entered the space, and put the purchased meat into the space.
Because it was already late when she arrived at the meat processing plant's sales outlet, only tenderloin and front leg meat were left.
Song Cenyue looked at the thin tenderloin weighing about ten pounds without any fat in front of her, and the whole front leg with not much fat, and nodded with satisfaction.
There is a lack of oil and fishy smell at this time, so people like to buy meat with more fat and do not like meat with more lean meat. If the butcher cuts all lean meat or has less fat when buying meat, they will be very depressed, and some will get angry or even hate him.
If the meat is full of fat, I will love it and be very happy. But if the meat is all fat, I will not like it either because I cannot afford to eat all the fat. I will still have to take some lean meat depending on the person.
But people nowadays are the opposite of those people. They don’t like to eat fat, but prefer to eat lean food. Therefore, tenderloin without any fat and front leg meat with not much fat are very popular nowadays. Many people buy tenderloin and front leg meat nowadays, and if you go too late, you won’t be able to buy them.
But at this time, the fattier parts like pork belly and hind leg meat were sold first, so she went late but was able to find tenderloin and front leg meat.
As a modern person, she must like to eat tenderloin and front leg meat.
Originally, there was so much meat that it could not be eaten all at once, so it had to be marinated with salt to prevent it from going rancid after being kept for a long time. However, this space has a fresh-keeping function, so no matter what you eat, it will not go bad no matter how long it is kept, and it will be as fresh as when you first put it into the space, so there is no need to rub it with salt to marinate it.
Personally, she prefers eating fresh meat to eating cured bacon.
Song Cenyue looked at the other things she had bought today and felt that there was nothing else to buy. Besides, the Song family already had everything they needed, enough for her to eat and drink for a long time. Even if she went to a deserted place where nothing was produced, there was no need to worry.
Song Cenyue left the space and wanted to go home, but after taking a few steps, she saw black smoke billowing in front of her, and it was obvious that there was a fire in front.
