Chapter 103 County Turmoil Part 1
Chapter 103 Unrest in the County (1)
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the small mountain village is still as peaceful as ever. Everyone wakes up from sunrise to sunset every day.
For more than a month, Lu Xiaoxiao did not only cut pigweed and go to the mountains to collect herbs, but also practiced Qigong at home.
Her mental skills have now reached the seventh level, and her skills can also be used to break a tree by releasing her internal energy to the outside.
There are also more than ten kinds of medicinal materials collected in the mountains, all of which have been successfully prepared.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought that she had not been to the county seat for more than a month, and had not received the subsidy for two months, and many of the tickets at home were about to expire, so she planned to go to the county seat tomorrow.
But this time when I go to the county town, I have to go to the captain’s house to get a letter of introduction first, which is really troublesome.
After Lu Xiaoxiao finished her meal early the next morning, she walked toward the entrance of the village carrying a crossbody bag and a black fisherman hat.
Now that spring plowing has ended, the oxcarts have begun to operate normally, so you can go to the county town by oxcart again.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the entrance of the village, she saw several educated youths standing there, so she went over to say hello to them, and then stood beside them and waited for the bullock cart.
Not long after, she saw Uncle Liu driving the oxcart. She sat behind Uncle Liu after the oxcart stopped. Because Uncle Liu had to drive to the county town every day, she planned to ask Uncle Liu where he was now.
She also had a good idea of the county's material situation.
But before she could ask, she heard Uncle Liu's low voice. He said, "Xiaoxiao, when you go to the county town this time, after you finish shopping, hurry back to the oxcart and stop wandering around."
, there are many traffickers in the county now."
After listening to Uncle Liu's words, Lu Xiaoxiao replied: "Uncle Liu, I understand. I will be back as soon as I finish shopping."
After the oxcart arrived at the county seat, Lu Xiaoxiao got off the oxcart. Then she went to the post office to receive the subsidy. When she saw the latest special 75 stamps in the post office, she bought two sets, planning to use one for collection and one for use.
.
After leaving the post office, Lu Xiaoxiao walked towards the state-owned hotel. She had too many food stamps and meat stamps that were about to expire, so she had to use them today.
Lu Xiaoxiao entered the state-owned hotel and saw that the breakfast served today was much less than it was more than a month ago. In the past, there were meat dumplings and the like, but now there are only three kinds: steamed buns, egg noodles and clear soup noodles.
It's really pitiful.
She packed ten steamed buns and a bowl of egg noodles and left the state-owned hotel. It seems that supplies in the county are much scarcer now than a month ago.
She thought about the various tickets in her bag that were about to expire, and walked towards the department store.
Lu Xiaoxiao came to the pastry store in the department store. She saw that there were only three types of pastries, so she weighed two kilograms of each.
After buying the cakes, Lu Xiaoxiao went to the candy store again. Because the White Rabbit milk candies at this time were real and full of milky flavor, she liked eating them very much, so she bought all the two kilograms of candy tickets for White Rabbit milk.
sugar.
Lu Xiaoxiao would not buy too many things in one place because of her previous lessons, so after buying pastries and candies, she left the department store and planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to continue shopping.
When Lu Xiaoxiao came to the supply and marketing cooperative, she saw that the supply of grain and meat was still in short supply. The pork stall only had some bones and pig trotters and lean meat left, and the grain stall was even more pitiful, with only some sweet potatoes and black noodles and other whole grains left.
She thought of the meat coupons in the bag and asked the pork saleswoman how much the price of pork was.
The saleswoman replied: "Fat and lean meat are all 70 cents per catty plus a pound of meat stamps. Bones and pig trotters are free of charge for 50 cents per catty."
After Lu Xiaoxiao heard the price, she said to the saleswoman: "I want two kilograms of lean meat and two big bones."
