I left the door and walked towards the bus stop. It took me ten minutes to arrive at Dongdan Market.

The Dongdan vegetable market is not small in size and is one of the four major vegetable markets in the imperial capital. It has a complete range of vegetables, fish and dry goods, but Li Weiguo doesn’t need them much. He has vegetables himself, so he just needs to buy a chicken and some meat.

But after walking for a long time, Li Weiguo realized that he had been hasty.

This chicken is not so easy to buy.

Chicken, ducks and geese are only available once a year on major festivals (Spring Festival, National Day, Mid-Autumn Festival, etc.).

According to household registration, it is divided into "big households" and "small households". The population is different and the amount of supply is different.

At that time, you need to go to the vegetable market at 3 o'clock in the middle of the night to start queuing, and you can also take up seats with vegetable baskets, bricks, and benches.

At that time, the entire vegetable market was crowded with people and noisy.

If you want to buy chicken, duck and geese, you have to queue up for about 6-8 hours to buy it, which is very difficult.

If you want to buy chicken, duck and geese in the vegetable market on weekdays, you can’t think about it.

Get up earlier in the morning and try your luck at Pigeon Market.

If you can’t buy chicken, then buy meat. Fortunately, there are still 5 taels of meat tickets in your pocket.

At this time, the meat pavilion had not started construction, but hundreds of people lined up one by one, waiting patiently.

This was the first time Li Weiguo experienced this scene, and he followed the team with great interest.

It was not until eight or nine o'clock that the pork guy slowly came out, and then he began to put various pieces of meat and chop meat, and tools to sell meat.

First, cut off the good meat pieces ordered by relevant departments of the government agencies and groups.

Secondly, some of the pork liver and pork ribs are left to the hospital and kindergarten, and then the back door meat for everyone's relationship is cut.

In front of everyone, in a short while, there was only a few good pieces of meat I wanted in my heart.

After the pork guy cut the back door meat, he started selling it to the people.

From the 1950s to the early 1980s, there was a general lack of oil and water, so fatty meat was more popular than lean meat.

If you know a meat seller and let him "skew" him while doing it, it will definitely be more face-saving and worth showing off for five minutes.

The team of buying meat is constantly shortening. Some people buy more fatty meat. They are happy for a long time and continue to thank the pork guys.

Some people have more lean meat and can only admit that they are unlucky and say a few words secretly, but they dare not blame the pork guy in person.

The person behind him was stretching his neck and kept looking forward, wanting to see how much meat had been sold.

It was Li Weiguo's turn to line up for almost two hours.

At this moment, the meat was spread out, and the pork butter was gone. Only the thin meat pieces, the pig water and the big pork bones were left, and there were still some ribs left.

There is nothing to choose, it depends on how they handle it.

"Master, please help me cut 5 taels of meat. How to sell these big bones?" Li Weiguo looked at the meat stall and asked at a pile of bones.

"5 taels of meat, 30 cents, 5 taels of meat. Bones, 5 cents per pound of ribs, don't have to pay." The pork man said while cutting the meat.

Li Weiguo: "Okay, the master helped me ask for ten kilograms of big bones and ten kilograms of pork ribs."

As he said that, he took out ten yuan, three cents and five cents and five cents from his pocket and handed it over.

The pork guy was stunned and looked up at Li Weiguo, but he didn't say anything.

After collecting the money ticket, I quickly cut 5 taels of pork with fat and thinness, and skewed them with bamboo sticks.

At the same time, 10 kilograms of bones were weighed, the rope was tied, and another 10 kilograms of ribs were cut. A pack of oil paper was used, and all of them were put into Li Weiguo's vegetable basket.

After buying the meat, I went to the vegetable market again. I saw that there was a fish sold at the fish stall and wanted to buy one, but I thought about it and gave up. Making fish was too oily and there was not a few taels of oil left at home. If the fish was not cooked well, I would like to talk about it later.

I took another ten minutes of bus before returning to Nanluoguxiang.

When I passed by the side food restaurant, I bought two bottles of Red Star.

When I walked to a place where there was no one, I thought about it and collected 5 kilograms of pig bones in the vegetable basket and 5 kilograms of pork ribs.

At the same time, more than ten kilograms of vegetables were added, including white radish, cabbage, green pepper, oilseed vegetables, beans, etc., and some of them were taken.

Cover the pork and bones with vegetables, and then slowly walked home.

As soon as I entered the front yard, I saw the third uncle taking care of the onions planted at his door.

When the third uncle saw Li Weiguo coming back with a basket of vegetables, he immediately came over: "Oh, Weiguo, why do you buy so many vegetables like this? These carrots and cabbage look so fresh."

He touched the white radish in the vegetable basket, and said with a smile: "Weiguo, it's troublesome to cook alone. Do you want to make a group with the third uncle? In the future, you can just sit and wait for the meal. How about it?"

It’s worthy of being an iron abacus, and you can scrape out a few taels of oil when you pass by his door.

However, although the third uncle was stingy and scheming, Li Weiguo still admired it more.

A primary school teacher has a monthly salary of only 42 yuan, supporting a family of six.

It is said that half of the eldest son is dying, with three sons and one daughter. The oldest Yan Jiecheng is two years younger than Li Wei and is still in high school. The youngest Yan Jiedi is about the same age as Bang Geum, and is only 6 years old.

The four kids and daughters were growing up, and in the era of lack of oil and water, they were really better than the other. They only rely on their own salary to support the whole family, survived three years of famine, and helped them all the way to get married and start a business. This is amazing.

In the original drama, the character of the third uncle can be seen by picking up garbage and earning money to subsidize Sha Zhu.

Although he was stingy, had some minor flaws, he was not lost in integrity. Li Weiguo still admired the third uncle very much.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo smiled and said, "Mr. Third uncle, have I joined the steel rolling mill? I made an appointment with Sha Zhu to celebrate together. I offer food, and he offers skills."

He paused and said, "Why don't you have two drinks together in a while?"

As soon as he heard this, the third uncle was excited: "That's good, okay, I have a bottle of Xifeng. I'll take it over later and have two drinks together."

"No need, I've bought some good wine, so the third uncle can come." Li Weiguo shook his head and pointed at the Red Star Erguotou in the vegetable basket and said.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Just kidding, is the third uncle's wine so delicious? He is a stingy person who is mixed with water in the wine, so he dare not drink his wine.

Nothing has to be done, and I can have a free meal. The third uncle should not be too happy: "Okay, then I'll come to you later."

After dealing with the third uncle, Li Weiguo walked straight to the house of Sha Zhu in the Intermediate Courtyard.

The Shazhu House was just open and crossed the door and entered.

At this time, Sha Zhu and his sister were all in the house, and Yushui was helping to clean.

Li Weiguo: "Brother Zhu, I bought the vegetables and I will leave the rest to you. Oh, the rain is here, I'll eat together for lunch later."

"Okay, I'll see what's there first." He Yuzhu took the vegetable basket and replied.

He Yushui, 15 years old, is in the third year of junior high school, and Xiaohe has just revealed her sharp corners, but she is quite tall, 1.65 meters tall.

When He Yushui saw Li Weiguo coming in with something, he called out to Brother Wei Guo and curiously stretched his neck to look at the things in the vegetable basket.

"Wow, Weiguo, you're just a little bit of life. You're buying so many bones and vegetables."

"There is no choice. It's too late to go out. The pigeon market has dispersed and I didn't buy chicken. I didn't have many meat tickets in my hand, so I only bought 5 taels of meat. I had to buy some big bones and ribs. The vegetables are purely filled with quantity. You can watch it." Li Weiguo said helplessly.

"Okay, no problem, you have to do whatever you want, look at you."

After saying that, Sha Zhu put the vegetable basket on the chopping board next to him, rolled up his sleeves and started preparing.

Although Sha Zhuren is sloppy, the kitchen in the house is clean and tidy, with all kinds of utensils and seasonings.

"Oh, by the way, I bought some white flour and took it over to help make steamed buns, so that everyone could bring their own food for a while." Li Hongjun thought of this and got up and went back to the house to get the food.

Nowadays, everyone's food rations are quantitative, and adults usually only have about 30 kilograms per month. The differences are also increased and decreased depending on the specific work.

Therefore, most people don’t easily use rations to invite people to dinner. Even if they invite them, the host will prepare the dishes and the guests will bring their own rations.

After all, everyone has so much rations, and if you eat it, others will be gone.

When I got home, I took out a used noodle bag and released 4 kilograms of white flour from the space. I guess I could make thirty or forty steamed buns, so I carried the bag back to Sha Zhu's house.

He handed the bag in front of the rainwater: "Come on, the rainwater, I'll hand it over to you."

He Yushui took the bag and nodded with a smile: "Cheng, Brother Wei Guo, please sit down, I'll do the rest."

When he opened the bag, the rain started to exclaim.

"Wow... Brother Wei Guo, this is too luxurious. He actually uses rich and strong fans." He Yushui looked like he wanted to do it but was reluctant to let it go.

Li Weiguo: "It's okay, just make steamed buns. I'll just be extravagant today and still eat braised vegetables in the future."

"Okay, Brother Wei Guo, you have to save some time in the future."

After saying that, the rain began to add water to the dough.
