Chapter 123

Ten yellow sheep sold for a total of 247.5 yuan!

This was because these ten yellow sheep were carefully selected by Liu Liu Guilan from the big pile of yellow sheep, the biggest being 52 pounds and the smallest 47 pounds.

The cafeteria director took the middle value based on the weight of these two sheep, so it was 247.5, with odd numbers.

Because Wang An gifted the cafeteria director a yellow sheep, when Wang An left, the cafeteria director told Wang An that if he had any rare items in the future, he didn't need to trouble Wu Dong and could come directly to him!

To be honest, as a government cafeteria, even in this era of extreme material scarcity, it was not lacking in meat supply. So common meat like wild boar and roe deer would definitely be provided to the government cafeteria by fixed hunters. It was basically impossible for Wang An to join in!

Therefore, the cafeteria director's words were basically nonsense to Wang An! But no matter what, it was a show of goodwill from the cafeteria director, and Wang An naturally thanked him repeatedly!

Leaving the government cafeteria, Wang An and Wu Dong sent the tiger cub to Wu Dong's residence. Wang An asked Wu Dong if he had bullets for the revolver. Unexpectedly, Wu Dong really had them!

Wu Dong casually took two boxes, a total of 60 bullets, and handed them to Wang An! This made Wang An wonder, what exactly is Wu Dong's job? This is too awesome, right?

Wang An sent Wu Dong back to the government to work, then headed straight for the supply and marketing cooperative.

It's impossible to eat fine grain every meal, but it's very necessary to be able to eat it often!

Wang An made up his mind that after the land is divided to households, he must plant more rice and wheat. This damn eating flatbread every meal, or sorghum rice!

Fortunately, there is a lot of meat at home and plenty of oil, otherwise, he would be constipated every day, and even pooping would be difficult. This life is not going smoothly!

Arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, he used 150 pounds of fine grain tickets to buy 100 pounds of white flour and 50 pounds of rice.

Five pounds of sugar tickets, bought 2 pounds of brown sugar, 2 pounds of hard candy, and 1 pound of maltose.

Sugar in this era is very simple. Besides white sugar, brown sugar, and rock sugar, the only snack sugars are bulk hard candy, bulk maltose, and White Rabbit creamy candy.

White Rabbit creamy candy is a high-end product. In the supply and marketing cooperative, it only has stock for sale during the New Year or festivals. Usually, you can't even see it, and wanting to buy it is even more impossible!

After buying grain and sugar, there were no tickets left in his hand!

Wang An wandered around the supply and marketing cooperative, looking left and right, trying to find things that didn't need tickets and could be bought with money.

Believe it or not, Wang An really found one: snow cream!

Women in rural areas of the Northeast in this era either don't put anything on their faces, or if they do, it's grease, or "Ten Thousand Flowers Blooming"!

Snow cream is a proper high-end product among cosmetics in this era! Of course, many people use it, but they are all families that are relatively wealthy!

A bottle of snow cream, 3.5 yuan, three days' wages for a formal employee, six days' wages for a temporary worker!

A white porcelain bottle the size of a goose egg, with a green painted iron cap. This bottle is enough for one person to use for two years if used sparingly!

This is snow cream.

Wang An didn't hesitate and bought 5 bottles directly: one for his mother, one for his wife, and one for his two younger sisters to share.

Things in this era basically don't distinguish between adults and children. Things are so reassuring, and there are no additives or various irritating chemical products!

The last two bottles: one for his wife, and let her take one to her maiden home, which is also her filial piety as a daughter!

The last bottle for Shen Wei. Although this woman is just looking for his help, besides helping his family work, the work on the kang is also tireless!

And on the kang, she is quite obedient, doing whatever she is told, never knowing what resistance is! So, he couldn't just think of her when he wanted her to work!

To be a person, you still have to be particular, at least you have to have humanity! As for morality and loyalty, just about enough!

After buying the snow cream, Wang An bought 4 cartons of Bingcheng cigarettes, mainly for his father Wang Wang Dazhu to smoke. Wang An himself only needs two or three packs a month, and he often buys them in small quantities at the small shop!

Although his father can sell 20 or 30 yuan worth of meat every time he comes to the county town, he doesn't dare to buy cigarettes, mainly because he is afraid of being scolded by his mother Liu Liu Guilan!

You know, Liu Liu Guilan is the real boss at home, and the whole family is managed by her!

Actually, there are cigarette tickets in this era, but it depends on the brand. Local cigarettes in the Northeast don't need tickets, such as Bingcheng, Mount Zhangbai, Great Production, Lingzhi, Ginseng, Sun Island, etc., all don't need tickets!

Finally, he bought 50 pounds of yellow paper and 5 pounds of old newspapers.

Yellow paper, 4 cents a pound, is actually a very good thing. When Wang An was in school, he used this to staple together as a workbook.

And this thing can also be burned, used as yellow paper!

The last use was discovered by Wang An when he bought the paper. Originally, Wang An wanted to buy 3 pounds, which would be enough to burn, but suddenly he found that the paper quality was very soft!

Wang An now feels that every time he finishes the latrine, the tree stick or dirt clod is not easy to use, and there is a feeling of not being able to wipe clean!

And toilet paper is not valued at all now, and it is also a quite scarce material! In the supply and marketing cooperative, such a commodity does not exist at all!

Wang An only remembers that toilet paper seemed to start to become popular in 1990. But now, suddenly he found that the softness of this yellow paper can completely take on the responsibility of toilet paper!

Therefore, this is the reason why Wang An wanted to buy so much yellow paper!

As for the newspaper, Wang An intended to use it to paste walls and ceilings. He didn't have this condition before, mainly because there was no white flour to make paste.

The little white flour bought before, he couldn't bear to eat, how could his mother agree to use it to paste walls?

Although it was just a layer of paper pasted on the wall and ceiling, don't underestimate the role of this layer of paper. The temperature in the room would rise by at least two or three degrees because of the existence of this layer of paper, and it would look much cleaner and tidier!

Not looking at those goods that don't need tickets but only let you look, don't sell to you, Wang An turned and left!

Drove the sled and went straight home!

On the way, Wang An pondered that he would hunt that bear tomorrow. The damage of those few shots to the bear should have taken effect. It is possible that the bear is already hiding somewhere waiting to die!

Walking to the turn where special things always happen, Wang An pulled a stack of yellow paper from the sled, and then simply folded it twice. It is said that it only works if you fold it twice before burning. I don't know what kind of saying this is!

Wang An squatted at the turn, put the folded paper on the ground, then struck a match to ignite the paper, and muttered sounds in his mouth. Wang An himself didn't know what he was saying!

Because he also saw those who jumped the gods do this. As for what they were muttering, Wang An pricked up his ears to listen very carefully, but still couldn't hear clearly!

So he didn't know what they were muttering. Anyway, the mouth is moving, and there is sound, that's it!

Wang An found that the paper burned very slowly, so he broke a tree stick and stirred it, muttering while stirring, but suddenly remembered that he had forgotten a big thing!

Forgot to burn incense, damn! Isn't this nonsense!

Those gods burn at least three sticks of incense, sometimes a whole bunch. Although I don't know what's going on, since I've done it, I have to look like it!

But there is no incense here. Wang An rolled his eyes, took out the cigarette from his pocket, lit three sticks, and inserted them upside down in the snow. This time he muttered very clearly: "Come, come, smoke, smoke a cigarette to warm up, warm up and go to work quickly!"

Just like Wang An's appearance now, whoever passes by here will be scared to paralysis. This must be meeting a ghost! This person is crazy, eight out of ten is possessed by a ghost!

Wang An finished lighting the cigarette and muttering, thinking: Anyway, that's it! The meaning is there!

Besides, it is very likely that those gods like this cigarette smell! In this day and age, that's all uncertain!

This paper, I don't know what the hell is going on, it's really damn durable! Wang An squatted boredly, and he also lit a cigarette and smoked it!

Please follow, please reward with tickets.
