Just when Li Weiguo was about to pay for food stamps again, Fangyuan patted him on the shoulder, and Li Weiguo looked back at Fangyuan.

"Let's go!"

"Oh!"

Regarding Fangyuan's words, Li Weiguo would implement it 100%. Even if he couldn't understand it, he wouldn't ask.

However, Fangyuan did not go out, but went in, to be precise, a few rows away from here.

Fangyuan only has 2,000 kilograms of coarse grain coupons in hand, and he has just sold 300 kilograms, which means he still has 1,700 kilograms in hand.

In such a big pigeon market, food is so scarce right now. Not to mention 1,700 catties, even 170,000 catties are in short supply.

And this is only for one day. Unfortunately, there is no way around this area, and we can't get so much food.

Don't talk about him, even the woolen mill probably wouldn't be able to produce so much food, otherwise the woolen mill cafeteria wouldn't be able to eat black buns.

It is estimated that only some large factories in the city can get it. After all, they stay in the city, so they must have some connections.

"Boss, why are we moving somewhere? Weren't there a lot of people asking for it just now?"

After finding another place, the little fat man asked in confusion.

"What do you know, if you take out so many food stamps at once, what will others think?"

"Uh!" The little fat man scratched his head. Although he still didn't understand, he didn't dare to ask again.

"Okay, just watch."

"Oh!"

Li Weiguo knelt down and took out a bunch of food stamps from his arms, which were one pound in size.

"Little comrade, how do you sell these food stamps?"

"One dollar a pound."

Maybe it’s because it was sold at this price just now! Li Weiguo opened his mouth and asked for a dollar.

"It's so expensive, isn't it 80 cents?"

The person who wants to buy food stamps is an old man. He is said to be an old man, but he is actually only in his fifties. At this time, a man in his fifties already looks very old.

"I want these food stamps." A young man handed the money to Li Weiguo and said.

Li Weiguo took the money and handed it to Fangyuan. Fangyuan counted exactly ten big black tens and nodded to Li Weiguo.

Li Weiguo handed the ticket to the young man. At this time, the old man said: "Young man, didn't you see that I was buying it?"

"Don't you think it's too expensive?" The young man said to the old man and left.

"You..." The old man was very angry at the young man.

"Uncle, there are more here, how much do you want?" Seeing the old man's anger, Li Weiguo said quickly.

This made Fangyuan standing behind him slap his head. He felt that it was not very wise to ask Li Weiguo to help sell things.

However, this cannot be blamed on Li Weiguo. If we are to blame, we can only blame him for not making arrangements beforehand.

In this way, Fangyuan no longer plans to change places, but plans to sell out all the food stamps here.

"Do you have any more?" the old man looked at Li Weiguo and asked.

"Yes, how much do you want?"

Hearing what Li Weiguo said, the old man took out all the money he had and said, "I bought all this money."

Li Weiguo took the money and handed it to Fangyuan. Fangyuan counted it and said, "The total is two hundred and fifteen yuan."

After finishing speaking, Fangyuan put the money into his schoolbag, and then stretched out his hand to Li Weiguo, who quickly handed the food stamps to Fangyuan.

After receiving the food stamps, Fangyuan counted two hundred and fifteen kilograms and handed it to the old man and said, "This is two hundred and fifteen kilograms. Count it."

"Okay, okay." The old man quickly took it and counted it carefully.

The bundle Li Weiguo handed to Fangyuan was in denominations of five jins. Two hundred and fifteen jins was only forty-three denominations, which was less than half of the bundle.

The old man quickly finished counting the food stamps, and then said: "Just right, not bad at all."

"I want the rest." Just when Fangyuan was about to hand the food stamps to Li Weiguo, a middle-aged man said.

"Okay, there are still two hundred and eighty-five pounds here."

"The middle-aged man quickly took out the money from his pocket, counted two hundred and eighty-five and handed it to Fangyuan."

Fang Yuan was watching while he was counting, so after taking it, Fang Yuan handed the food stamps over and said, "You count them."

Of course, Fangyuan also counted the money. Although he was watching when the middle-aged people were counting the money, they still had to count it. This is called clearing out money and goods.

After learning that there were food stamps here, they quickly formed a circle. Anyway, Fangyuan planned to sell out all the food stamps here, so he took them all out.

In just ten minutes, Fangyuan didn't have a pound of coarse grain stamps left in his hand. At this time, Fangyuan took Li Weiguo and the little fat man and walked out of the pigeon market.

We couldn't stay here now, not even for one more minute. We finally squeezed outside the pigeon market, and Fangyuan took the two of them and ran away.

Of course he ran to the city. Although Li Weiguo and the little fat man didn't understand why Fangyuan was like this, they didn't ask and just ran along.

While running around Fangyuan, I looked back, but people were coming and going, so Fangyuan was not sure.

It took the three of them three minutes at most to run the distance of five to six hundred meters, and by this time, the three of them had already entered the city.

Fangyuan did not stop when he arrived in the city, but continued running. Not only that, he also led Li Weiguo and others into the alley.

Fangyuan has been here many times and explored alleys many times. It can be said that which alley is passable and which alley is a dead end, Fangyuan is very clear.

After running through alleys one after another, Fangyuan stopped out of breath.

Fangyuan was out of breath, not to mention the little fat boy, who had difficulty breathing now. If Fangyuan and Li Weiguo hadn't been pulling him to run, he would have fallen down long ago.

"Boss, why are we running?" The little fat man asked after finally catching his breath.

"Why are you asking so many questions? Let's go and find a place to rest."

"Oh!"

The three people did not go to the street, but found a place to squat down and rest at the entrance of an alley.

After the little fat man had rested, Fangyuan raised his head and said, "It's getting late. Let's go eat something first, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something more."

When he heard about eating, the little fat man's eyes lit up and he immediately became energetic and said: "Let's go eat."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Seeing the little fat man like this, Fangyuan shook his head, patted the little fat man on the head and said, "I just know how to eat."

The three of them found a small restaurant nearby and ordered two dishes, one soup, and six white-flour steamed buns.

After finishing the meal, Fangyuan asked Li Weiguo and the little fat man to rest for a while in the small restaurant.

Then he left the small restaurant by himself. He had no choice but to buy some things first, and these things could not be seen by two people.

First, Fangyuan went to the butcher shop and bought three kilograms of pork. The main reason was that he couldn't buy that much in a butcher shop, so he bought three kilograms.

Although three kilograms is already a lot, it’s not to the point where people care too much.

Next, Fangyuan went to the non-staple food store and bought some snacks and peach cakes. It didn't matter, as long as you have money and tickets, you can have as much as you want, and no one else will say anything.

After buying peach cakes and snacks, Fangyuan went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought ten kilograms of rice and twenty kilograms of white flour.

Of course, he was empty-handed before entering the store, and the things he bought had already been stored in the space.

These things are all bought from supply and marketing cooperatives on the street. There are many supply and marketing cooperatives on this street, and there is basically one on each street.

And this is still a small street. If it is a street several kilometers long, there will be several houses on one street.

Then Fangyuan went to a butcher shop and also bought three kilograms of meat.

Next came the non-staple food stores and supply and marketing cooperatives. In more than an hour, Fangyuan bought a total of fifteen kilograms of pork, fifty kilograms of rice, and one hundred kilograms of white flour.

Of course, although it is said to be white noodles, it is actually not very white, and it is incomparable to the white noodles of later generations.

Today's flour is called Bayian, which means that one hundred pounds of wheat is beaten into eighty-one pounds of flour.

To put it bluntly, all it takes is to beat the wheat husks into flour. How can such white flour be white?

It’s not just flour, it’s the same with rice. Nowadays, rice is called ninety-two meters, which means that ninety-two catties of rice are produced from one hundred catties of rice. What is the concept?

Although neither rice nor white flour is very good, it is much better than coarse and fine grains, and at least it tastes much better.

Take white flour for example! Although it is not very white, the steamed buns made from it are very soft, unlike the steamed buns made from coarse and fine grains that are hard and difficult to swallow.

Of course, Fangyuan didn't just buy these things. In addition to snacks and peach cakes, Fangyuan also bought ten kilograms of vermicelli, five kilograms of vermicelli, two kilograms of fungus, and two kilograms of day lily.

You must know that these are in short supply and can only be purchased with tickets. Where do the tickets come from, they are issued during the New Year.

During the Chinese New Year, each person’s ration is two liang of vermicelli, one liang of vermicelli, half a liang of fungus, and half a liang of day lily.

For example, the five members of the Fangyuan family will give tickets for one pound of vermicelli, half a pound of vermicelli, two and a half fungus and two and a half day lily before the Chinese New Year.

These are the supplies for the Chinese New Year. Of course, there is also one tael of sesame paste, but this is not given based on population, but on a household basis, which means one tael per family.

In addition, every household is given one tael of tea coupons (low-end) during the three festivals (Spring Festival, May Day, and National Day). Since tea was classified as a "national second-class material" in 1959, it is rare in the market.

In addition to these, there are two other things during the New Year, which are peanuts and melon seeds. For ordinary people, peanuts and melon seeds are tasted once a year.

Every Spring Festival, each household is provided with half a catty of peanuts with the skin on, and two taels of melon seeds, cooked.

This situation lasted until 1965, when it was changed from per household to half a catty of peanuts and two taels of melon seeds per person.

Of course, this is talking about ordinary people. For some people, or for a small number of people, this is not a problem at all.

Because they have tickets, they can usually buy them, just like Fangyuan, he has a lot of peanut and melon seed tickets in his hand.

But he got these votes from that group of people.

After buying these things, Fangyuan was ready to go back to find Li Weiguo and the little fat man.

Just when Fangyuan had walked not far, he heard someone in front shouting: "Little liar, just stand still."
