Siheyuan: After being reincarnated as a master's daughter

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he went to find Sha Zhu without saying a word and made an excuse, asking Sha Zhu to help him take a day off.

Then he asked his wife and daughter to stay at home, and then Yi Zhonghai rode his bicycle out with the money and various physical bills.

Winter is a good time for hunting. The militias in the villages around the city would organize villagers to go hunting in the mountains during this time. This is because the leaves in the forest or on the mountain have fallen off in winter, so the leaves are relatively open and it is easier for wild animals to find them. In addition, there is a shortage of food in winter, and the animals are hungry. They all come out to look for food, so it is easy to find food.

Or if you encounter a hibernating snake, just reach into the hole and dig it out. Some snakes won’t wake up, and some won’t wake up immediately. However, snakes move slowly in the winter, so just put them in the bag quickly and don’t worry about being bitten.

The communes near Sijiucheng were reluctant to eat any large animals they hunted, so they were organized and led by the commune to sell them to factories, specialized purchasing agencies, or supply and marketing cooperatives.

Of course, if the commune does not want to sell these, it can file a certificate with the higher authorities and the commune can organize the sale among itself, but the money and receipts must be kept in the commune’s collective account and divided equally among the whole village based on centimeters. However, there will be differences, as some villages divide the money based on the number of people.

Smaller prey, such as snakes, birds, pheasants, rabbits, etc., are distributed among hunters according to their merits. Some people take these small prey home, but are reluctant to eat them, so they go to the black market to see if they can exchange them for some food coupons or money.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to go around the black market and the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy as much meat as possible. After all, his daughter had said that she needed adequate nutrition and sufficient food. Although he didn't know how much preparation he needed, Yi Zhonghai still decided to prepare more to be on the safe side.

Yi Zhonghai first went to the supply and marketing cooperative, where he saw two large tables at the door. One of the tables was for wild boars, as you could tell by the fangs and hair on the pigs' heads; the other table was for domesticated black pigs, which are unique to China.

The two pigs had already been cut up, after all, the Chinese New Year was only two or three weeks away, and every household had to buy some meat to make dumplings. So there were many people rushing to buy meat at the stalls. Not only was it cheaper than before the Chinese New Year, but the weather was cold now, so if you bought some meat and left it outside to freeze, you wouldn't have to worry about it going bad.

Wild boars are 2 cents per pound with a ticket, and domestic pigs are cents per pound with a ticket. Both are cents more expensive than before. Before, wild boars were only cents, and pigs raised in the commune were only cents. Although the price has increased by cents, it does not affect the mood of the people scrambling for meat.

Of course, other pig's trotters, pig's head and pig's offal are also relatively cheap, all of which are only 50 cents per pound, and no receipts are required! Some families really don't have receipts, so they will buy these offal pig's head and pig's trotters to eat.

There were many people gathered around the table of domestic pigs. Although wild boar meat was one cent cheaper than domestic pigs, it was really fishy and smelly. Those who had some money at home would not give priority to wild boar meat if they had a choice.

Yi Zhonghai was also listed in the row of domestic pigs.

Soon it was Yi Zhonghai's turn. The man in front of him, wearing the uniform of the meat processing factory and with the word "meat processing factory" written on his uniform, held a knife and said very quickly, "Do you want that piece of meat?"

Yi Zhonghai didn't waste any words and pointed to the part with more fat and less lean meat: "Comrade, I want this piece of meat!"

The uncle looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Old comrade, I see that piece of meat on your finger is more than three pounds. Do you have a meat ticket?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded, took out the receipt from his pocket and showed it to the uncle. The uncle then cut it and put it on the scale. He looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Comrade, three catties and six ounces." After saying three catties and six ounces and two cents, the uncle thought for a moment and said, "A total of two dollars and ninety-five cents."

Yi Zhonghai gave the money and the ticket to another comrade who had the money. The comrade gave the change, tied the meat with a rope, and then handed it to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai took the meat, thanked him politely, and then walked into the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something else. He saw a lamb being sold in the supply and marketing cooperative. There was a lamb leg left. Yi Zhonghai walked over and said, "Comrade, may I ask how much is this lamb leg?"

The salesman selling lamb legs smiled politely at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Comrade, 60 cents a pound! And you need a meat ticket."

Yi Zhonghai looked at the mutton and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Forget it. If I only have money, I can buy the whole leg. As for tickets, I only have half an ounce of meat ticket on me now."

When the salesman selling the lamb legs heard that Yi Zhonghai only had a meat ticket for half an ounce, he ignored Yi Zhonghai's reply and started to greet the next person who came to buy meat.

Yi Zhonghai looked left and right, and bought some white flour and rice shipped from the south, and then he didn't buy anything else. The family also had a fixed amount of food, but their daughter was picky about food and only ate white flour and rice, so in this regard Yi Zhonghai and his wife were particularly pampering to their daughter and never let her go hungry.

The family had stockpiled a lot of long-lasting food such as cabbage and potatoes when winter came, and they were all stored in the cellar in the yard. So Yi Zhonghai took a look and saw nothing to buy, so he carried the meat and food and went out.

Yi Zhonghai deliberately pressed the meat to the bottom of the basket and put some grain on top to cover it. The grain bag was made of canvas, so others could not tell that it was refined rice and flour.

Yi Zhonghai rode his bicycle to the black market known to everyone in the city to see if anyone was bringing in any wild goods.

Yi Zhonghai was pushing a bicycle, his whole body covered tightly, with only his eyes showing. Everyone in this black market was dressed like this. Those selling things did not shout, and those buying things either gestured with their hands without saying a word, or spoke in a low voice. After the transaction was successful, they handed over the money and the receipt, stuffed the food into their clothes, and hurried home.

Yi Zhonghai looked at it from beginning to end, and finally spent 2 yuan to buy a fat big gray rabbit, and then spent 6 cents to buy ten eggs. These did not require receipts, so they were a little more expensive than the supply and marketing cooperative. For example, eggs in the supply and marketing cooperative cost only one cent for a small egg, and two cents for a big one, but egg tickets were required. In the black market, no tickets were required, but eggs were three cents each.
