But what is unexpected is that the management of these "state-owned hotels" privately opened by various units is even stricter!
If there were no food stamps, they would not sell soy milk and fried dough sticks to customers.
Perhaps this is the so-called "small places respect favors, big places follow rules".
Although the county is small, the rules are still stricter than those in Hongxing Township.
Don't be afraid to ask for food stamps.
Luo Xuan went to Fatty Gu the day before yesterday and asked him to transfer 10 kilograms of fine grain stamps to him. At the frog market, he also bought 50 kilograms of fine grain stamps and 50 kilograms of coarse grain stamps.
In addition to the 20 kilograms of provincial food stamps I got from Chen Xiaoduan, I now have 80 kilograms of fine grain stamps and 50 kilograms of coarse grain stamps!
Luo Xuan took out a food stamp and bought two fried dough sticks and a bowl of soy milk.
A 10-pound fine grain stamp is considered a very large denomination.
The food stamps of this period were as small as 1 tael, 2 taels, or even 2 taels or 5 taels.
So Luo Xuan took out these 10 kilograms of fine grain coupons and kept the person in charge at the hotel counter busy for a long time!
All kinds of things, I gave Luo Xuan a lot of fine food stamps, and that was the end of the matter.
After breakfast, it was still a bit early.
Luo Xuan went to the department store of the supply and marketing cooperative, intending to buy some daily necessities.
The last time I went into the mountains, I gained a lot, and I still owe a large debt of gratitude to Du Juan and his daughter.
Since they wouldn't accept the money he gave him, Luo Xuan planned to buy something as a little compensation for them.
Nowadays, industrial coupons are not required to buy these industrial products, so as long as you have money in your pocket, you can buy these industrial products at any time.
If in a few years, after the "industrial product rationing system" is implemented, almost everything will be rationed.
By that time, if you don't have industrial coupons in your hand, no matter how much money you have in your pocket, you won't be able to buy anything.
At the daily necessities counter,
Luo Xuan first bought a few enamel water cups with the words "More fast, more economical, rush x and surpass x" printed on them.
Then, Luo Xuan bought a five-pound bamboo shell thermos bottle.
This kind of bamboo shell thermos bottle sells for 1 yuan, 80 cents and 7 cents each.
Luo Xuan bought two thermos bottles at once, preparing one for himself and planning to give one to Du Juan and his daughter.
During this period, the pricing for bamboo-shell thermos bottles produced in Shanghai was very strange: just the thermos bladder inside cost 1 yuan and 50 cents for one!
And the shell, the bladder, and the cork on the thermos bottle only cost 1 yuan and 80 cents.
Luo Xuan really couldn't understand: If the thermos bottle was accidentally broken, who would just buy a bottle and take it back?
After all, it's not an advantage.
After buying the kettle and mosquito net, Luo Xuan deposited it on the daily necessities counter.
Then he turned around and went to the cosmetics counter and bought two pieces of "Jiaozhai" brand soap.
There were three kinds of soaps in this period: the highest-end soap was the "Jiaozhai" brand, the "Double Happiness" brand was the mid-range soap, and the "White Cat" soap produced in Shanghai was the lowest-end soap.
Commendation medal soap sells for 9 cents per piece, Double Happiness soap costs 5 cents for 5 cents, and White Cat soap costs 2 cents for 2 cents. The price gap between them is really not small!
And what Luo Xuan bought was the best "Commendation Medal" soap in the department store... Who allows himself to have money in his pocket?
Moreover, you can buy it for two yuan at one time!
The soaps of this period were sold by the dozen and were not individually packaged.
A long list of soaps is a dozen, 12 bars in total.
When customers buy, the salesperson will use a rope tied on the counter to cut off the soap.
There is a groove between the two soaps, and the salesperson will use the rope to wrap around the soap.
Then pull the rope gently.
In this way, the soap can be cut off easily.
Finally, the salesperson will use a piece of oil paper to wrap the soap for the customer.
The sales method is very original.
After buying the soap, Luo Xuan bought two more bars of soap.
The salesperson sold soap in the same way as selling soap, except that the soap in this period was not much cheaper than soap.
But fortunately, the soap is big, weighing 300 grams together.
Two pieces of "Lighthouse" soap cost another RMB 7.4.
Inside the daily cosmetics counter, they also sell cream, clam oil, Friendship brand skin cream, colorful moisturizer...
There are also cosmetics and skin care products such as Mermaid and Phoenix Glycerin No. 1.
After thinking about it, Luo Xuan didn't buy these things.
She originally wanted to keep a proper distance from Du Juan. Luo Xuan was worried that buying these things to give to her would cause misunderstanding.
So in the end Luo Xuan bought 2 bottles of "Gonghua Brand" shampoo and 1 bottle of "Fenghua Brand" conditioner.
There was a bottle of shampoo among them, which Luo Xuan wanted to use, and he didn't need conditioner for his short hair.
So that bottle of shampoo and conditioner were all given to Du Juan.
After buying the gift for Du Juan, Luo Xuan went to buy a knife of toilet paper.
Toilet paper in this period was not rolled in a roll, but was cut with a paper knife into a piece of paper that was two feet long and one and a half feet wide.
Such a thick pile of toilet paper is called "a knife".
Now that I have money, I don't have to worry about food and drink for the time being.
But chrysanthemums also need to be protected. The feeling of wiping your buttocks with bamboo strips every day is really unpleasant.
Buy all these miscellaneous things.
Luo Xuan wandered around the store again, wanting to see what he could buy for Eucommia ulmoides.
When he walked to the non-staple food counter, Luo Xuan had a sudden thought: The Du Zhong family had no worries about food and drink, so why not give him something slightly rare?
So after asking the salesperson to find out that no receipt was required to purchase canned food, Luo Xuan bought 2 cans of canned braised beef from Tianjin.
A can of canned beef is 1 yuan and 4 cents.
Then I bought two 1.5 pound bottles of canned ‘pineapple in sugar water’ produced in Shanghai.
A bottle of this can is sold for 1 yuan and 16 cents.
There is also a kind of canned "lychee in sugar water" produced in Xiamen, which costs 1 yuan and 30 cents a bottle.
Luo Xuan bought four bottles at once.
Two of the bottles were given to Eucommia ulmoides, and two bottles were kept for myself, and I will also give Xiaocao a taste when the time comes.
In Bashu Province at this time, not to mention 4-year-old children like Xiaocao, and even 15-year-old boys like Zhou Lao, most of them had never seen apples or watermelons.
Not to mention lychees and pineapples.
Don’t believe it yet!
Most children in Hongxing Township have never even seen these fruits.
Occasionally, for some children who have read books, their knowledge of these fruits is limited to textbooks and pictures.
After buying a lot of things, Luo Xuan couldn't move them back.
Fortunately, during this period, there were state-run "moving stations" that could move things for everyone.
The workers in these transfer stations are actually the "bangbang'ers" who used to go from house to house and get together everywhere to get work.
After liberation, they were all organized and established a moving service company, whose main business was for the public.
For example, grain stations, supply and marketing cooperatives, and coal production and marketing service cooperatives are the major customers of moving service companies.
Occasionally, they will also take on some personal business.
Luo Xuan asked the employees of the supply and marketing cooperative to go out and call an employee from the service cooperative to come over for him.
The porter then used a pallet truck to pull these things out.
When he reached a very secluded place, Luo Xuan asked him to help him move his things down, on the pretext that he would wait here for his family to pick him up.
When the employee of the moving company heard this, he just moved the things under the car without asking any questions!
Anyway, the level of wages has nothing to do with them.
Now these "bangbang'ers" are all glorious employees on the payroll, and they are very good...
Wait until the movers are gone.
Luo Xuan waited there for a while, and after making sure that there was no one around him, Luo Xuan moved all the things into the space.
Put things away.
Feeling that time was almost up, Luo Xuan went straight to Carrot Alley.
