Return to 1988: Beginning with a marriage robbery, the rich are soaring

Fortunately, it's in a department store.

There are special cloth bags sold in shopping malls.

Liang Baikai and Xu Qingqing first bought two cloth bags, one to hold rice and one to carry other things.

Thinking of buying oil, I bought another oil bottle.

Back to the grain and oil area, I bought five kilograms of rice for 2 yuan.

I bought two kilograms of vegetable oil and negotiated a price of 1 yuan and 4 cents per kilogram, but it cost me 2 yuan and 8 cents.

Then I bought two more bags of salt, one bag of brown sugar, one bag of white sugar, a bottle of soy sauce, a bottle of vinegar, and a bottle of white wine. The prices were also negotiated, and the total cost was another 6 yuan and 4 cents.

I went into a department store and bought so many things for less than 12 yuan in total.

Liang Bai was still feeling happily: "The prices of things in this era are really cheap!"

Xu Qingqing felt extremely distressed.

12 dollars!

This was the first time she spent so much money at once.

Seeing that the original one hundred-yuan blue note had turned into eight big unity notes and a few dime notes, Xu Qingqing gave Liang Baikai a resentful look.

Forget about buying rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and white wine. Why buy brown sugar and white sugar?

And expensive!

It’s not a necessity!

Does he still drink brown sugar water?

Thinking about it this way, forget it.

He likes to drink, so drink it!

The two of them left the department store and walked in the direction of Qifeng Bridge. After a hundred meters of downhill road, they arrived at a street intersection. Walking inside was the Shicheng Physical Education School and the stadium.

Therefore, this street, which is only 400 meters long, is also called Sports Street.

And because many people set up stalls here to buy vegetables, a market was formed, and Sports Street was also called Sports Street Vegetable Market.

The sun was shining brightly at noon, and there were not many people in the market.

On the wooden shelf, the pieces of pork hanging in shackles were more lean and less fat.

Everyone is living a hard life these days. Fatty meat has fat and plenty of oil and water. It tastes more delicious with a mouth full of oil, so everyone prefers to buy fatty meat.

As the morning passed, almost all the fat meat was selected, leaving only a few pieces of pork belly with a little bit of fat.

Liang Baikai looked at it, pointed at one of the pieces, and asked, "How do you sell the meat?"

The butcher stall owner was a middle-aged uncle and asked, "Do you have any meat tickets?"

You also need meat coupons to buy meat. If you don’t have one, you’ll still have to negotiate the price.

"No."

"If you don't have a ticket, pork belly is 1 yuan and 6 pounds per pound."

"Okay, give me this whole piece!"

The butcher stall owner was overjoyed. When others bought meat, they always bought it in quantities of one and a half jins, and rarely bought two jins at a time.

This young man is handsome and energetic, and he is well-dressed. He looks like a wealthy man. No wonder he can buy a whole piece of meat at one time.

He happily took off the large piece of meat and weighed it.

"Six pounds and four ounces!"

"A total of 10 yuan, 2 cents and 4 cents."

After weighing, the stall owner reported the price and said with a smile: "If you buy so much at once, then forget about 4 cents. Just pay 10 yuan and 2 cents."

Liang Bai smiled, when did he also get a hairline surgery?

But he still said thank you.

After all, unlike a few decades later in the 80s, only 50 yuan was considered to be a round sum, and everything in denominations of [-] yuan was considered small change.

When he was about to ask Xu Qingqing to give him money, he saw two big bones in the bamboo frame on the ground, and asked, "Brother, can you sell the big bones?"

The big bone was basically shaved clean, and there was no meat on the bone. The stall owner asked in surprise: "You want to buy it?"

"Buy it."

Liang Baikai nodded.

The stall owner immediately weighed it. Two large bones weighed more than four kilograms. The stall owner said: "Four kilograms and six taels, the price is 4 cents per kilogram. If you count it as four and a half kilograms, you can pay 1 yuan and 8 cents."

10 pieces of pork belly, 2 cents, 1 piece of large bone, 8 cents.

The total was exactly 12 yuan, and Xu Qingqing paid with a look of pain on her face.

It cost another 12 yuan!

After leaving the meat stall, Xu Qingqing complained: "Why did you buy so much meat at once?"

Liang Bai said: "Eat!"

Xu Qingqing was speechless. Of course I know that buying meat is for eating. I mean, there is no need to buy so much.

Well, it’s okay to buy so much meat, but you don’t have to spend 1 yuan and 8 cents to buy those two big bones!

This man is good at everything else, but he spends money too much.

You have to be more careful in the future and don't let him act lavishly.

Just as he was thinking this, Liang Baikai started shopping again.

"No...you buy so many vegetables!"

"Can the two of us finish eating?"

Xu Qingqing said depressedly when she saw Liang Baikai buying non-stop.

Liang Baikai said: "Aren't we going to open a Hezha restaurant? I will prepare a table of "Hezha set meals" today, so I will buy more."

Hearing what he said, Xu Qingqing had no choice but to let Liang Baikai continue to buy groceries, while she followed silently to pay.

Before long, both of them could no longer hold the food in their hands.

Eggs, peppers, ginger, garlic, winter melon, peanuts, potatoes, cucumbers, cowpeas, bitter melon...

There are at least a dozen.

Even, in addition to vegetables, Liang Baikai also bought star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves and other spices.

The Great Unity in Xu Qingqing's hand was missing two more pieces.

"almost!"

Liang Baikai recalled the vegetables he bought and said.

Xu Qingqing:......

There are so many dishes, enough for a banquet for a large table, but you only said that it was almost enough.

She was even wondering, how much would a meal of the "he slag set meal" that Liang Baikai mentioned cost?

In this era, when eating out in restaurants, vegetarian dishes only cost two or three cents a plate, and meat dishes cost about one yuan a plate. Two meat and two vegetarian dishes can be a very good meal for three yuan.

Out of the vegetable market.

There happened to be an empty numb car passing by.

"numbness!"

Liang Baikai shouted immediately.

Xu Qingqing couldn't help but pouted again, this guy wants to take a car again!

But looking at what he was carrying, it was rice, soy sauce, vinegar, wine, meat, and many vegetables, which added up to at least twenty or thirty kilograms.

never mind!

Carrying so many things is heavy and inconvenient.

Take a ride, just take a ride!

Fortunately, it's close to home, and it only costs 5 cents for two people to take a ride on a car.

When they got home, Xu Qingqing said, "You take a rest, I'll soak the soybeans and push them together later."

Just as he finished speaking, he suddenly screamed: "Oh..."

Liang Baikai was almost startled and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

Xu Qingqing said: "I told you in the mall first that there is no grinder to grind the corn noodles. We bought soybeans, how can we grind them together?"

What did you think it was?

That's it!

Liang Baikai breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay, it's okay. You rest, I'll soak the soybeans, and later I'll go to the surrounding households and ask who has a grinder, and we can borrow it."

Xu Qingqing said: "Didn't you just buy a house? You don't know anyone around you, they..."

Liang Bai smiled and said, "Let's just go and get to know him!"

Xu Qingqing thought about it. They have settled here and sooner or later they have to get to know the residents around them, so she said, "Stop soaking the soybeans. I'll come and you can just go find someone to ask."

"also!"

Liang Baikai thought for a while, soaking soybeans was not a tiring job, he could just let his wife do it, he agreed and went out.
