Chapter 383 Disturbing house spirits in the 1970s (14)

  The aunt asked her in a low voice: "Girl, do you have no ticket? I still have a one-jin meat ticket here, which I haven't been willing to use, so I can share it with you."

  Xu Yin heard the words, and quickly answered: "What do you need?"

  The aunt gave her a look of "spirituality", lowered her voice and said, "It doesn't matter if you have coarse grains or fine grains, if you have any, you can share it with the aunt."

  Need food? That's no problem, she has plenty.

  Xu Yin pretended to take out a millet bag containing three catties of flour from the basket.

  The aunt happily took it, and quietly gave her a meat ticket with the words "One Shijin" printed on it, and the deadline was only two days.

   "Mother, you gave me the ticket, what about yourself?"

   "I have, I still have more." The aunt patted her pocket.

  The meat buying team moved forward slowly.

   When it was finally the turn of the middle-aged woman in front of the aunt, the master who chopped the meat suddenly felt a pain in his stomach, ouch! It is specified that the rotten rice in the morning has been eaten, and the stomach is going to be loose!

   Quickly called the new apprentice: "Xiao Zhu, hurry up, come on top! I'll come as soon as I go."

   After finishing speaking, he put the butcher knife on the cutting board, clutched his stomach and went to the toilet.

   Apprentice Xiao Zhu was dumbfounded: "Ah? But I... hey, Master Li—"

  He was holding a meat cutter, and he was a little helpless.

  The middle-aged woman urged him: "Why are you so grindy! There are guests at home today, and they are still waiting for the meat to be cooked! Hurry up! I want a catty of hoof meat."

   Hoof meat? There is a big bone in the middle.

  Xiao Zhu switched to a machete and tried to cut it, but the bone that was connected to the meat did not move at all.

   "..."

  He looked back at the back door tremblingly, why didn't Master Li come here yet!

  The middle-aged woman urged impatiently: "Hurry up! What are you talking about! I waited in line for a long time, and finally it was my turn. The master ran away, and another junior apprentice didn't understand anything. It's really unlucky..."

  Xiao Zhu's face was blushing.

  He is a new apprentice, and he has only been selling meat with Master Li for three days.

  Master Li cut the meat two days ago, and he weighed it. He hadn’t had a chance to touch the meat cutter, let alone hold the machete. He was suddenly asked to chop the hoof with the big bone attached.

  At this moment, Xu Yin stepped forward and took the machete and said, "Let me chop it for you. Where is the position of a catty?"

   This little Zhu could tell by feeling, he pointed to a general location.

  Xu Yin raised the knife in his hand, and chopped off a piece of hoof meat connected to the bone.

  Xiao Zhu glanced at her gratefully, picked up the steelyard and weighed it, no more, no less, exactly one catty.

  The middle-aged woman looks uneasy.

  I thought it would cut more points, and asked the apprentices to raise the scale beam higher when weighing. Anyway, the master is not around, so it is a little bit cheaper.

   I didn't expect that she would actually give her a catty if she wanted one catty. Not too much, not too little, just right, can you be happy if you don't take advantage of it?

   Muttering something in his mouth, he reluctantly paid the money and ticket, picked up the meat and left.

  The aunt behind her smiled and said to Xu Yin: "I want a tael of pork belly, and a stick bone."

   "How much?" Xu Yin thought she heard it wrong.

  The aunt handed over the ticket: "One tael."

  Xu Yin saw clearly the words on the meat ticket—two for one city.

  Xu Yin: "..."

  Your aunt is still your aunt!

   Not to mention that the time limit for hiding meat tickets is approaching, you can still sell a pound of meat tickets when you are in line, and you only keep one tael of meat tickets.

  Speaking of a tael of meat, how much is it?

  She watched Xiao Zhu cut off a narrow strip, twitched the corners of her mouth, and shaved a stick bone for the aunt.

  It was supposed to be her turn next, but there were quite a lot of people queuing up behind her, so Xu Yin said to Xiao Zhu, "Let me take it easy, and help the people behind me first."

  The apprentice said: "That's so embarrassing, or you should save the meat you want to buy first."

   Xu Yin may as well think about it, what if it is sold out.

  So I asked for a catty of pork belly and a pig's trotter.

   Pig trotters don’t need a ticket, and they only cost fifteen cents, which is very cheap in Xu Yin’s opinion. But this is the only one left, otherwise she would want to make a round.

   A pound of pork belly cost her fifty cents.

  Painting a thousand matchboxes and earning fifty cents is not enough to buy this meat, and I have to advance some money that Grandma Xu gave her yesterday.

   Meat is really expensive these days!

  Xu Yin sighed in her heart.

   Put away your own meat, and continue to help Xiao Zhu chop hoofs and ribs.

  Using her divine power on this is simply overkill.

  But others don't think so.

  They just thought this little girl was too tough, just like the Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang in "Water Margin".

   Not only is it powerful, but the knife technique is also extremely accurate, and the knife will not be skewed when it is cut.

  Xiao Zhu refers to where she chops, never a little more, and never less, so that they can't find a chance to take advantage of it.

  By the time Master Li came back, Xu Yin had already helped Xiao Zhu settle about twenty customers.

  Master Li saw Xu Yin chopping bones neatly, and felt that this was the assistant apprentice he wanted.

  For a young man with slender arms and legs like Xiao Zhu, it’s okay to hold a scale, and it’s okay to settle accounts and find money, but it’s really worrying to hold a machete.

   "Master Li, are you back?"

   When Xiao Zhu raised his arm to wipe his sweat, he saw Master Li behind him and reported happily:

   "Master Li, thanks to the enthusiastic comrade Xiao Xu, if it weren't for him, I really don't know what to do."

  Master Li sighed in his heart: Are you at ease when I am in the toilet? If it wasn't for the grumbling stomach and the desire to defecate as soon as I got out of the toilet, it would have been so long.

  Master Li took the machete that Xu Yin put down, and chopped a rib neatly:

   "Thank you, little girl. Meat is rationed. I can't decide to give it away. Anyway, the ribs don't need a ticket. Just treat it as if I bought it for you. Take it back and add another dish."

  Xu Yin refused to accept it, so he just stuffed it into her back basket.

   Just like that, I did a little favor to the apprentice and received a spare rib as a thank you gift.

  Xu Yin raised her eyebrows, and really wanted to ask Master Li: Do you recruit apprentices? The kind that doesn’t need ribs for salary?

   But you don’t need to ask, you know that the jobs in the city are determined one by one.

   Besides, there are so many radishes and so few pits, people in the city are all waiting in line, so how could she have a share.

  She should go back to the countryside to farm!

The thoughtful Xu Fo is farming Yin, with a snakeskin bag full of matchboxes in his hand and a small basket of meat on his shoulder, walked briskly to the main entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative to see if there was any free ticket and relatively cost-effective commodity.

  Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

   Cigarettes do not need tickets!

   "Comrade, give me a pack of red plum cigarettes."

   Open the ticket and see, twenty eight cents.

good! Comrade Xu Laosan can earn a few more days of work points with enthusiasm.

  It's a pity that the fabric needs to be voted.

   "Do you want the newly arrived cream? It's a bit expensive, but you don't need a ticket."

  At this time, she heard a salesperson at the daily necessities counter next door asking a regular customer.

   Regular customers asked: "How much is a box?"

  Salesperson: "One dollar and five."

   "Hey! So expensive! You can eat pork for several meals!"

  The salesperson opened the outer package and showed her: "The bottle is also worth a lot of money."

  The regular customer shook his head, reluctant to buy.

  Xu Yin leaned over with bright apricot eyes and asked, "You really don't want a ticket?"

   "Yes! New arrivals, don't need a ticket yet."

   "Give me two bottles."

  She counted out three dollars.

  I said to Comrade Chen Huilan, you have to behave well in the future and earn a few more work points, so that the private money I lost is not in vain!

  Two bottles of cream, one for the cheap mother, and the other for Xu Sang.

   Just in time, a new batch of chicken cakes arrived at the non-staple food counter.

   But this requires a food ticket, so Xu Yin can't buy it.

   But she remembers stockpiling a similar batch of old-fashioned egg cakes.

It seems to be the small world of the movie queen. When I went to an ancient town to record a program, I saw many shops that resembled the 1970s and 1980s, selling some pastries, pastries and candies that fit the occasion. some.
