Chapter 25
Buy a hoe, a shovel, a sickle, and Luo Xuan bought some necessary farm tools.

On the streets of Hongxing Township, there is also a blacksmith shop.

But when you need to buy ironware, you can only buy it at the raw capital store of the supply and marketing cooperative.

In this period, any industry is organized.

Blacksmiths and artisans who used to work alone are now under the management of the "Iron Ware Producers Service Agency".

Referred to as "Ironware Society".

Any ironware produced by them needs to be purchased and sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives. The ironware cooperatives have no power to decide what to produce or sell.

The hoes and iron catalpas in the supply and marketing cooperatives are divided into specifications, No. 1 and No. 2.
Luo Xuan was weak, so he bought himself a small hoe and a small iron catalpa.

After buying some farm tools, Luo Xuan made an excuse to leave the things with relatives, and carrying these things in batches, he turned around and left the Shengzi store.

Then I ran to the alley in the school and put everything into the space.

After buying these things, Luo Xuan went straight to the meat section of the food station.

Since today is not a day to go to the market, there are not many people who come to buy meat in the pork market.

In front of the butcher shop, there is a particularly huge chopping board with a lot of pork on it.There are also offal and offal such as pig liver and pig intestines hanging on the iron shelf.

Luo Xuan actually likes to eat pig intestines and pig tails.

However, I don't have an iron pan at home, so it's not easy to stir-fry fatty intestines.

He didn't have caustic soda or flour to clean up the pig's large intestine. The original pig's large intestine was really hard to swallow, so Luo Xuan finally had to give up in resentment.

Standing in front of the meat table, Luo Xuan first observed how several customers bought meat.

After looking for a while, Luo Xuan discovered that there was a small blackboard hanging on the wall of the store, on which was written the price of pork today.

Take a closer look at the meat on the chopping board, and then look at the price list on the blackboard.

Luo Xuan seemed to understand that Fatty Gu, one of the reasons why he didn't regard meat tickets as expensive in his eyes:
original.

There are also many kinds of pork at the food station.

Some of these types do not actually require meat tickets and can be purchased in limited quantities.

Pig large intestine, pig liver and lungs are off the water, so there is no need for meat tickets.However, the limit of pork liver is very limited, and one person can only buy 3 taels at most.

"Boneless meat" also does not require a meat ticket.

This kind of meat is in bits and pieces, the meat scraps broken by the butcher, and the meat picked off from the pig bones.

Fatty Gu's "catering service agency" eats a lot of all kinds of meat.

It is very likely that he will buy some of this kind of minced meat from time to time, and then mix it with normal pork to pay for it, so as to get a little meat ticket.

Maybe he doesn't mix minced meat every day, and when he does, it's not too much.

But it adds up.

After a long time, the meat tickets saved by Fatty Gu will be very considerable.

As for how Fatty Gu would find a way to deal with the other managers in the service agency, this was not something that Luo Xuan should consider.

Chickens don't pee, each has its own way.

The more difficult the living environment is, the higher the wisdom of people's survival will be. Everyone has already comprehended a superb philosophy of survival.

There is also a kind of meat on the market, which can be bought without a meat ticket.

That is high temperature meat!

The so-called "high-temperature meat" is cooked pork that is cooked after slaughtering sick pigs, and then sold.

In the meat shop of the food station, this kind of pork sometimes disappears.

High-temperature meat depends on the breeding room of the production team to see if there are any sick pigs these days.

Even if there are sick pigs, they have to go through the inspection of the epidemic prevention station.Let them go to the countryside to see if these sick pigs meet the food standards.

The breeding room of the production team has no right to deal with such sick pigs without permission.

Among the sick pigs, "rice core pigs", pigs with acute heat stroke, or sick pigs that suddenly "fat purple pills" can all be sold as high-temperature meat.

As for the plague pork, it must not be sold.

This kind of sick pig can only be buried on the spot to prevent the spread of the plague.

Luo Xuan is not interested in "high-temperature meat", although it is sold very cheaply, only 2 cents and 7 cents a catty.

That kind of "rice core pig" is actually a pig suffering from pork tapeworm disease. If this parasite is not handled properly, humans will also be infected.

This disease is one of the "zoonotic" diseases.

Too dangerous!

Luo Xuan would rather not eat meat than take the risk.

But even this kind of "high-temperature meat" that Luo Xuan sneered at, rural people are usually reluctant to buy it.

Occasionally, when encountering food stations selling this kind of meat, some commune members grit their teeth and only buy half a catty, or even three taels, to satisfy the cravings of the elderly and children at home.

In the end, Luo Xuan bought a total of 3 catties of pork belly and 1 catty of hind legs.

This time, it cost Luo Xuan another 2 yuan, 2 cents and 6 cents.

I don't have any oil at home, so I need to buy some pork belly, so that there will be a little bit of oil in the cooked vegetables.

Luo Xuan came to buy meat, and the quantity was considerable, but others didn't find it surprising: it was quite normal for rural parents to send their children to the street to buy meat.

Although everyone thinks that this child bought a lot, it is also possible that some of the meat was brought for neighbors.

Or the kid in front of me needs a treat at home.Adults are too busy to take care of it, so it is not uncommon for children to come to buy some meat.

As for the meat ticket
Anyone who has something to do at home will start to accumulate meat tickets a few years in advance.

But meat tickets can only be used in the current year, and unused tickets will also expire.

Many people will find a way to adjust each other: use it for you first this year, and use it for him next year.

In the next year, everyone's meat tickets will be concentrated for their own use.

So in Luo Xuan's hand, he took out 4 catties of meat tickets at one time, which is nothing to be fussed about.

After buying the meat, Luo Xuan didn't have much money left.

Looking at the 1 yuan, 2 yuan, and a few ten-cent bills in his hand, Luo Xuan couldn't help feeling emotional: Spending money is really like washing sand with water!

I fished during the day, caught eels at night, and worked hard for two full days, and my income was not enough to buy a bigger iron pot!

After buying something, Luo Xuan hurried home.

It's only 9 or 10 o'clock now, and the sun is already like a young widow who has been widowed for 10 years.
Hot and spicy.

Luo Xuan was on his way under the scorching sun, and within a few steps his body was already drenched with sweat, as if he had been fished out of a steamer.

Careless.

did not buy.

There were cloaks and straw hats for sale in the Shengzi store, but Luo Xuan was not willing to buy them at the time.

If you go fishing for eels during the day, you actually need a straw hat.

But a straw hat sold at the Shengzi store costs 3 cents, and a cloak is sold at a high price of 8 cents.

In the 3rd production team of Zhengxing Brigade, the members of that team planted many acres of lamp grass. During the slack season, the members of the 3rd production team would weave straw hats and straw mats, and then sell them to supply and marketing cooperatives.

Luo Xuan and they belonged to the same brigade, so he could go to the 3rd production team to find someone and buy a straw hat privately.

It can be 8 cents cheaper!
As a result, I planned to save the 8 cents, but I had to endure the sun and rush on my way.

There was no other way, the matter was at this point, Luo Xuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and hustle on his way. Others at home were helping to build the house, so he had to go back early to cook for them.

Luo Xuan was hurrying on his way.

Under the eaves of the storage room of the No. 6 Production Team, Mrs. Wang was rubbing hemp rope with a group of women.

"Tie Zhu's family."

While working, Mistress Li said to Mrs. Wang, "Your son. Oh, I saw this morning. Luo Xuan went shopping in the village?"

Mrs. Wang bowed her head and worked without saying a word.

Among the members of the production team, if there is anything to do, they will inquire here and there.

When Luo Xuan went out in the morning, it was inevitable that members of the commune would greet him and ask questions.

Luo Xuan didn't want to hide it, and couldn't hide it from them, so he answered truthfully that he was going to Hongxing Township to buy some meat back.

"Buy the meat and come back to entertain the helpers, tsk tsk tsk. Luo Xuan is so generous!"

The second wife of Li praised: "Just cut a few bamboos to make piles, and then cut some moso bamboos to build a shed. Five women with rough hands and feet can get things done in half a day.

Treat them to a full meal, just put a few drops of oil in the dish!

This Luo Xuan actually went to buy meat and came back to eat.Tsk tsk tsk I knew this was the case, I don't even want this day's work points, let's help build Luo Xuan's house! "

What Li Erpo said is true.

A work point for the production team is only a few cents, how can it be worthwhile to go to Luo Xuan's place to eat meat?

"He doesn't have much money, burn the bag!"

Wang said in a cold voice without raising his head: "When his 380-jin ration is finished, let's see what he can do! Look, when he is howling hungry, he is still behind!"

"Yeah, yes!"

Mistress Li was so full of fat pork before, she only thought about eating meat.

She didn't expect that Luo Xuan was a child, and his annual ration was only 380 catties of grain.

If Luo Xuan was extravagant this time, he would have no food to eat in the future, what should he do?
