Seeing everyone walking towards the supply and marketing cooperative, Shen Man followed them there.
I came here just to buy something. If you can't buy it, just take it from the space. Anyway, you can't wrong yourself. You should eat and drink.
At this time, heavy snow fell from the sky, and the vast expanse of white made the whole world beautiful.
Shen Man couldn't help but slow down when she saw this scene. She has always liked the Northeast because it has four distinct seasons, the snow in winter is beautiful and the wind in summer is cool.
After graduating from Beijing, she opened a store in her hometown to make money. No matter where she went, she always liked the Northeast.
When we entered the supply and marketing cooperative, there were quite a lot of people in the house. Because the autumn harvest was over, everyone came out to buy things when there was nothing else to do.
Each brigade also has special vehicles coming here. After this time, no vehicles will come to the town again until the Chinese New Year. In that case, they will have to walk here.
"Comrade, give me two bundles of vermicelli!"
"I want two bundles too!"
Looking at the queue, Shen Man discovered that the counter for non-staple food was also here.
The non-staple food stores in Beijing are separate stores, but here they are in the same room, but not at the same counter.
She didn’t have a ticket or book, so she could only read these Winter Solstice books.
After looking around, she found that she couldn't use anything that didn't require a ticket, and she didn't have any tickets that she needed.
In the end, I could only squeeze out of the crowd, find a deserted place, and secretly take out a package that I had prepared in advance.
There are some food items in here, and the most important thing is to show off, so that the extra things can be easily explained if someone finds them.
Just as she was standing at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, ready to go to the restaurant, Gu Nan called her loudly and ran over.
"Have you finished delivering the things?" When Shen Man saw that the cotton pants she was carrying were missing, she knew that the things had been delivered.
Hearing this, Gu Nan nodded, "Yeah, what are you going to do? What kind of big bag is this?"
The dark green duffel bag is very big, like a bedding bag.
Shen Man didn't hide anything and replied: "This was mailed from home. I just happened to come over to pick it up."
"That's it, then you don't need to buy anything else?" Gu Nan didn't ask about the package, mainly because it was hard to ask about other people's things.
The two exchanged a few words. Shen Man stood at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative and waited for her for a while, while Gu Nan went in to buy the things she had been asked to bring.
After a while, the girl came out carrying something, two bundles of vermicelli and a large roll of cloth, which was quite a lot.
"The car hasn't left yet, shall we go over and wait?" Gu Nan asked. Just now she saw the time on the clock in the house, and there was still an hour before the tractor could leave.
As for Shen Man, who was wearing a watch, she naturally knew that it was still early. Smelling the fragrance coming from next door, she pulled someone to carry the package and walked aside.
"They don't let anyone in casually. You can't go in without eating." Gu Nan stopped her in a low voice, but the other party seemed not to hear.
After entering the room, the person taking orders at the counter glanced at them and said nothing.
But Gu Nan was extremely nervous and wished she could go home right now.
Shen Man looked at the supply on the blackboard with a calm expression, "Comrade, give me two pounds of cabbage, vermicelli and dumplings!"
A pound of dumplings with vegetarian fillings costs 50 cents, and meat fillings cost 80 cents. Since there are no meat tickets, she can only eat vegetarian food.
As for food stamps, before she left, she exchanged the national food stamps for local food stamps here, and she got an extra five pounds.
The person at the counter said calmly, "One yuan plus two kilograms of food stamps."
Although the price of dumplings is a bit expensive, a pound of dumplings now costs more than forty. When these more than eighty dumplings were served on the table, the two of them were dumbfounded.
Gu Nan watched her in a daze as she ordered the dumplings, then was asked to come over and sit down, and then watched Shen Man bring the dumplings one by one, somewhat unresponsive.
Shen Man was also confused. People don't serve you food at this time. I originally thought that two kilograms would be enough for four plates, but now six plates were served, and each plate was full.
"Uh...Nannan, you should eat too, I can't." She said awkwardly.
Not to mention that she couldn't eat it, even if she forced it into her mouth, she couldn't get it in.
"Sister Man." Gu Nan said hesitantly: "I know you can't eat it, but I can't eat it either!"
Who can eat this? The seven members of their family can eat it, but it’s not enough. But the problem is how the two of them can eat it.
"Eat first, take it away if you can't eat it." Shen Man said no more, poured soy sauce and garlic paste for the person opposite, and then started eating himself.
Gu Nan swallowed and saw that there were indeed a lot of dumplings. After all, he could not resist the temptation and started eating.
I originally thought of just eating a few, but eating too many was not good, but I didn’t expect that these dumplings were so delicious that I couldn’t stop eating them.
Not to mention that although these dumplings are vegetarian, they are filled with a lot of meat and oil, making them delicious!
Shen Man ate a plate of about twelve or three dumplings, and Gu Nan across from him ate more, eating two plates in total.
At this time, people don’t have much fat and water in their stomachs, and they have a big appetite for food, so it’s not surprising.
It's not like those little girls in later generations who couldn't finish two dumplings.
"Sister Man, I ate a little too much, hiccup..." Gu Nan covered her mouth in embarrassment, picked up a bowl of dumpling soup and drank it in embarrassment.
This dumpling soup is free, which is equivalent to boiling water, but after all, the food has been cooked, and everyone is willing to drink this soup.
Shen Man also ate a lot. The dumplings were not small, and they were both fragrant and delicious.
"There are still three plates left. Forget it, let's pack them." As she said that, she took out two aluminum lunch boxes from her pocket.
This thing still belonged to the original owner, but even two lunch boxes couldn't fit in it. In the end, I took out a bowl and put everything in it.
There was a lunch box in the space, but it was different from the current lunch box, so I just put it in a new big bowl.
Cover the big bowl with the same small plate and carry them together. Because the backpack is easy to scatter when put in it, it can only be carried like this.
Gu Nan was very smart and helped her carry the package. The two of them each pulled one end and then headed towards the tractor.
There were already several people sitting on the car here. With everyone's help, the two finally sat on the pony and waited for the train to start.
"How many things did you buy? It's such a big package." A woman in her thirties looked at the package and wondered what was inside.
Shen Man replied calmly: "This was sent from home, not bought."
As long as the wealth is not leaked, everything she has now will be pushed to that family. Anyway, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and no one understands anyone.
There's no way anyone would go to the capital to inquire about her situation, right? If that were the case, then she would give up.
Seeing what she said, everyone felt that the children in the city were really nice, their families were in good condition, and they could even send things.
Other educated youths in collective households also often receive packages, so they are not surprised.
