Me! The dark horse of the Siheyuan, my wife Chen Xueru

Chapter 38 Very touched

"Sister Bai, I don't need the meat ticket, you can take it back." Yang Muzi refused.

Bai Yulan sighed, "Muzi, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but life is not the way you want to live. From now on, food will be rationed, and you have to be frugal."

"Sister Bai is right." Yang Muzi smiled, knowing that Bai Yulan was doing this for his own good.

You know, He Daqing and Bai Yulan are now a family with six people in total, and their pork ration is three kilograms.

Although the ration is larger than Yang Muzi's family, there are also more people in their family who can eat, four adults and one half-grown boy, they all consume a lot of food.

Three pounds of meat were not enough for them to eat. In this situation, Bai Yulan was still able to squeeze out one pound of meat for herself, which touched Yang Muzi very much.

"Muzi, keep this meat ticket."

"Really, there's no need. There are so many people in your family and there's not enough food. I don't want it."

Bai Yulan smiled and said, "Our family is fine. Brother He and Sha Zhu both work in the cafeteria, so they have some benefits."

"That's right." Yang Muzi nodded. It's true that a cook who doesn't steal the crops won't harvest them.

It is natural for the cook to steal things. There are two cooks in their family. In this courtyard, apart from Yang Muzi, the family of Bai Yulan is the least likely to worry about starving.

"Muzi, don't be embarrassed. Just put away the meat ticket."

Bai Yulan spoke again, thinking that Yang Muzi was embarrassed to ask for her things because of his status.

"Sister Bai, what do you think this is?"

Yang Muzi stretched out his hand and took out four half-pound meat coupons. "Where did this come from?" Bai Yulan was shocked.

It is common knowledge that Yang Muzi's family has already eaten two kilograms of meat.

The meat coupons have been used up, how could he possibly have more?

Yang Muzi smiled: "Sister Bai, I don't need meat tickets to buy meat." "Really..." Bai Yulan was thoughtful.

Before, she had a lot of contact with Yang Muzi and knew that he was a capable man. She never imagined that in this era of food rationing, Yang Muzi could still get meat.

Even if He Daqing was a cook, it would be impossible for him to take meat home from the factory.

It has to be said that no matter in what era, there are always some people who transcend the world.

Yang Muzi is such a person.

"Then I'm relieved." Bai Yulan put away the meat coupons. "Sister Bai, you take these meat coupons too." "That won't work! Your family needs to eat meat too."

Yang Muzi: "Don't worry, take it. Even if the people in the city are starving, our family will not starve. If you have any difficulties with supplies in the future, just tell me."

"Our Muzi is much more capable than that rough fellow He Daqing. So Sister Bai will not be polite."

"Sister Bai, don't tell anyone about what happened today." "Don't worry, Lao He, I won't tell anyone either."

Bai Yulan happily collected the meat coupons and left Yang Muzi's house. She was sad when she came, but she was overjoyed when she left.

I originally wanted to give away one pound of meat tickets, but in the end, I got two pounds of meat for free.

Five kilograms of meat a month is enough for them to eat.

When she got home, He Daqing came to greet her: "Yulan, did Muzi want it?" "What? Not only did he not want it, but he also gave me two kilograms of meat tickets." "Where did he get the meat tickets?" He Daqing was shocked.

Bai Yulan rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "My dear Muzi, you are so capable, just like me."

"What's wrong with me."

"Give me two pounds of meat tickets and try." "Uh..."

"Yulan, please tell me quickly, where did Muzi get the meat coupons?" "I don't know."

Fourth day of the month. Evening.

Yang Muzi came back from outside carrying a bird cage and a pound of pork belly on a pole.

"Oh my god, Muzi, where did you get the meat?" "Oh my god, they've run out of meat."

"That's strange, really strange, could it be that his meat coupons are for a ration of three catties?"

"What do you mean three jin? When the ration book was issued, I saw it clearly. It was two jin."

"Where did his meat come from?"

As the neighbors talked about it, their eyes turned red. Yang Muzi got this piece of meat, which was of great significance.

What does this prove? It proves that public regulations are dead, but people are alive.

If Yang Muzi can get meat, they can get meat too. It's just that they haven't found the right way to do it. Night.

Three uncles were sitting in Uncle One's house discussing something.

Uncle Er said, "Uncle Yi, have you asked what Yang Muzi's behavior is? Is it considered as speculation? If it is speculation, let's report him."

Uncle Yi smiled bitterly: "I went to the neighborhood committee to ask, Yang Muzi's behavior is illegal or not."

Uncle San: "What do you mean?"

Uncle Yi said: "The food ration is set by the government, but if it is a fixed rule, if there are people who can eat, the government cannot watch them starve to death.

Therefore, people who do not have enough food can buy food at high prices. This is called unplanned supplies.

The meat that Yang Muzi bought today was unplanned supplies.

The government turns a blind eye to this kind of thing, and as long as they are not caught in the act, there is no problem.”

Uncle San's eyes flickered: "Uncle Yi, are the unplanned supplies expensive?"

"expensive!"

Uncle San nodded: "The unplanned supplies are three times the normal supplies."

"It's so expensive!" Uncle San gasped.

The price of a pound of pork is more than 80 cents, 3824, and the unplanned pork costs 2.45 yuan a pound.

Eating a pound of pork costs three days' salary. Who can afford it?

The third uncle gritted his teeth and secretly decided that even if he was dying of greed, he would rather not buy the expensive meat.

Uncle Er asked, "Uncle Yi, do you know where to get the unplanned supplies?"

Uncle One shook his head: "I don't know, I'm asking around too." "How about we go ask Yang Muzi?" Uncle Two suggested. "Good attention!"

The three people's eyes lit up. They were all very interested in the unplanned supplies.

No matter who you are, there is no guarantee that there will be enough food.

Especially Uncle Three and Uncle Two, both families have many children, and their appetite is unstable, so their appetite will increase at any time.

If you eat one more steamed bun at a meal, the family will go hungry. Also, if the food coupons are lost, you can only watch helplessly. Therefore, the unplanned supplies are particularly important at this time. "Uncle Yi, go ask Yang Muzi." Uncle Er said.

"I'm not going!" Uncle Yi quickly shook his head. He had a bad relationship with Yang Muzi, and he would be turned away even if he went.

"Uncle San, you have a good relationship with Yang Muzi, go ask him."

"become!"

Uncle San nodded and came to Yang Muzi's house. "Muzi, Uncle San wants to ask you something." "What is it? Ask."

Uncle San lowered his voice and said, "I heard that you can get supplies beyond the plan."

Yang Muzi shook his head: "Who told you that? I don't have that ability."

"Why, you didn't call your Third Uncle when you have something good to do?" Third Uncle narrowed his eyes.

Yang Muzi: "I really can't get supplies outside the plan."

Uncle San looked unconvinced and said, "Your family clearly has a ration of two kilograms of meat.

But I ate three pounds of meat. Tell me, where did the meat come from?"

Yang Muzi smiled: "I can't get the supplies outside the plan for now, but there is a method that can really get the supplies."

"What's the solution? Tell me quickly!" Uncle San's eyes lit up.

Yang Muzi: "Uncle San, you know that I have a problem, which is that I like to wander around.

In our city, I am familiar with everyone on the ground.

My method is to wander around the city and look for families that are in need and in urgent need of money.

I just use the money to buy their meat tickets, and then I can have meat." "This..."

Uncle San was dumbfounded. This trick really worked, but it was not suitable for them.

First, they didn’t know anyone on the ground, so once they left the door they would be blind, so who could they ask?

Second, they don’t have the time. Yang Muzi doesn’t go to work, but they have to.

"Muzi, it's getting late. I won't disturb you to rest." "Take care, Uncle San."

The third uncle left Yang Muzi's house with a depressed look on his face. He went back and told the second uncle what happened. The first and second uncles were also very depressed.

Yang Muzi's solution was as good as saying nothing. Yang Muzi had also inquired about the issues that Third Uncle and others were concerned about.

It is simply impossible to obtain materials that are not planned. The reason is very simple.

After a while, you can buy supplies at the pigeon market on the overpass, which is the black market.

However, since food coupons had just been issued, the pigeon market on Tianqiao had not yet started.

It will probably take some time before people, starving and forced into a corner, will try to find ways to make do, and then the black market will naturally open up.

Before the black market started, it was almost impossible to get supplies outside the plan.

In addition, food coupons have just been issued, and many new problems will arise.

For example, if one does not know how to use food coupons properly or save them, it is possible that the food coupons will be lost or washed away.

Therefore, during the period when food coupons were just issued, people's lives were extremely difficult.

It is estimated that in the next period of time, the Siheyuan will be in chaos. Especially at the end of the month. One day.

Yang Muzi stayed at home, teaching her children to read. The workers all went to work.

Qin Huairu was washing clothes, and Banggeng was playing alone in the room.

Jia Zhang, Auntie One, and Uncle Two were sitting in the yard sewing shoe soles, chatting as they did so.

"Auntie Yi, have you heard that the supply and marketing cooperative is now open to the public?"

"I heard about it, I heard about it, this is good news. The supply and marketing cooperative is the junction of urban and rural areas. With the supply and marketing cooperative, it will be much more convenient for us. Rural materials and urban materials will circulate in the supply and marketing cooperative. In the future, if you want to buy something, you can go directly to the supply and marketing cooperative."

"That's great. It's mainly convenient."

the other side.

Banggeng crawled around the room alone and finally climbed onto grandma's bed.

I found a small red book under my grandmother's pillow. When I picked it up, the food coupons inside fell out.

"matches!"

The treasure boy discovered a big secret: it turned out that all the matches in the house were under the nanny's pillow.

Stab~~~

Banggeng picked up the match and struck one skillfully.

Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky, and Banggeng was so scared that he sat down under the bed.

"Wow~~~~"

Bang Geng burst into tears.

"What's wrong? Why is the child crying?" "Mr. Jia, go and take a look." "What is this child doing?" Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu hurried into the house.
