"That's not true. They were using the half steamed buns to wash the dishes."
"Washing dishes!" Gao Fan was shocked. What kind of operation was this?
Xia Shihui said: "The food in our school doesn't taste very oily, but after eating, the bowl is full of oil and cannot be washed clean. I don't know who invented this method. After the meal, I buy half a steamed bun and remove the oil from the bowl.
Rub it off and it will be easier to wash."
"Where are the steamed buns?"
"Of course I threw it away. Do you think they would eat it?"
"..."
Gao Fan was speechless. Does this count as a long-term reunion?
The oil in the big pot is difficult to wash, and Gao Fan also knows that. The boys here always take the rice bowl back to the dormitory and sprinkle some washing powder to wash it. There are a few people from good families who can afford the washing liquid, so
It's another story.
He had never paid attention to how girls washed dishes. After hearing what Xia Shihui said, he thought it was not strange for some girls to buy half a steamed bun to wash dishes.
The big steamed buns in the school come in two-two pieces, and some students can't eat the whole one, so the cafeteria cuts the steamed buns in half, so you can buy only half. The price of half a steamed bun is one or two noodles plus one penny, including the upper ticket.
The cost is just over two cents.
Calculated based on two meals a day, the cost of washing dishes in a month is 1.5 yuan. For students from a decent family, it is not a burden, and it is even cheaper than buying dishwashing liquid.
In fact, in some household experiences in later generations, they will also teach you how to use flour to wash pots and dishes, which is no different from using steamed buns to wash dishes.
However, for a country that values food as important as the sky, this kind of behavior is called a waste of food. And then think about students like Wu Zixian who have to save their own food rations to support their families, and they only look forward to their younger brothers and sisters.
Gao Fan didn't know what to say about being able to have a few full meals.
"You went to fight with them?" Gao Fan sighed and asked Xia Shihui.
"I want to fight, but I'm afraid of being expelled," Xia Shihui said.
"Everyone has his or her own ambitions. People use their own quota and spend their parents' money. We have no control over it," Gao Fan advised.
Xia Shihui said: "That's the truth. It's just like when I was a child, I tore off the buns and threw them away. Isn't that the same thing? But now I know that is not the right thing to do."
"Well, it doesn't really matter. When the country becomes rich in the future, our next generation will be able to throw away the steamed bun scalp with peace of mind," Gao Fan said.
In the era before he traveled through time, it was not a treasonous thing to throw away some steamed bun scalps. There were also people who imitated foreigners and slapped cakes on other people's faces. Outsiders couldn't say anything.
Xia Shihui did not answer Gao Fan's words, but said: "By the way, you just said that your classmate wants to send food stamps to his family. He should want national food stamps, right? I have some national food stamps in my hand. I will give them to you later.
Please pass it on to your classmates."
"There's no need for this," Gao Fan said. "Actually, I also have a surplus of national food stamps. I asked him to give some to him, but he refused to take it. He said that he would use his own ration to exchange for my national food stamps, and it was a
I can exchange two pounds of coupons for one pound of national food stamps."
"You boys have a big appetite, but you are not rich with food stamps. We girls have a small appetite, and the food stamps themselves are redundant. Many of our classmates exchange food stamps with fellow villagers for eggs," Xia Shihui said.
"Oh, is this kind of thing common?" Gao Fan asked.
Xia Shihui said: "Of course it's common. You boys don't have enough food stamps to eat, so you don't have much to change. Almost everyone here among girls is like this."
