The plastic slippers that were trashed on the streets in later generations were treasures in this era.
Simply because during this period, slippers made of plastic had just come out, and the plastic slippers available on the market were basically imported.
The first pair of domestically produced plastic slippers will not be available until 4 years later.
Luo Xuan didn't know why this small Hongxing Township Supply and Marketing Cooperative got back a few pairs of such luxury goods?
Perhaps it was imported from an Eastern European country through the Economic Cooperation Council.
The first pair of plastic slippers originated in the fashion capital of Gaul.
When plastic slippers came out, they attracted a lot of people's attention: they were brightly colored, novel in style, impermeable to water, and relatively wear-resistant.
But these plastic slippers that emit a foul smell are really expensive!
A pair actually costs 16 yuan and 17 cents!
It's almost like a temporary worker, who works for more than a month.
Luo Xuan looked at it, and then put down the plastic slippers with the salesperson's expression: "As expected, you just have to look at it, you definitely can't afford it."
There are not many shoes to choose from on the market now.
The leather shoes sold at the counter are of good quality and not expensive.
For about 6 yuan, you can buy a pair of handmade cowhide leather shoes.
But Luo Xuan didn't plan to buy leather shoes.
"Pull back shoes" are good, they are definitely an artifact that can attract countless eyeballs when worn in this period.
Luo Xuan thought for a while and gave up the idea of buying a pair of pull-back shoes... It's not spring yet.
Besides, with my small arms and legs, who are you showing off to?
Even if it attracts wasps, butterflies, etc., you have to run away.
After looking at it for a long time, Luo Xuan finally bought only a pair of cloth shoes and a pair of cloth slippers.
Since he often catches eels, and whether it's windy or rainy, he also needs to go to the frog market, so Luo Xuan also bought a pair of rain boots.
Later generations of rain boots came in a variety of colors and styles.
But the rain boots of this period were all black and "silly, big and ugly".
Most people can't even afford these smelly rubber rain boots.
A pair of the best cloth shoes from a time-honored brand in Beijing was sold for 1 yuan, 7 cents and 3 cents, and cloth slippers were sold for 7 cents and 50 cents, but that pair of ugly and heavy rain boots cost me a full 4 yuan, 30 cents and 8 cents!
no way,
At this time, our country's rubber industry has just started. The supply of rubber products exceeds the demand. Coupled with the blessing of a certain scissors, the price of such industrial products is very high.
However, the good news is: now as long as you have money in your pocket, you can still go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy these things.
If only a few more years pass.
Without "industrial coupons" in their hands, the members couldn't buy anything even if they had money.
The various industrial coupons allocated according to plans according to the level of active employees are also called "industrial product purchase coupons" and "industrial product purchase certificates".
Industrial vouchers are roughly equivalent to one industrial voucher for every 20 yuan of salary.
The wages of most employees are between 20 and 30 yuan. You can imagine how tight the industrial vouchers in everyone’s hands will be?
The scope of goods purchased with industrial coupons is relatively wide, including almost everything: towels, blankets, sports shoes, artificial cotton products, nylon underwear, radios, belts, knives and scissors, imported blades, various bags...
Even chocolate and candy bars.
Cigarettes, tea, and liquor outside the quota also need to be purchased with a ticket.
The purpose of issuing tickets at that time was to ensure the supply of basic daily necessities.
However,
Tickets also brought many problems: tickets gave priority to ensuring supply to urban residents, while members of the production team were rarely supplied.
For someone like Luo Xuan, who is a member of a production team, it will be extremely difficult to buy things in a few years...
There is no other reason than that the members are not issued "industrial coupons" very much. Without coupons, they cannot buy anything.
After buying shoes, Luo Xuan went to buy a large washbasin, a footbath, and a buckle lunch box.
Then I bought some toilet paper, toothpaste and toothbrushes, water cups and mouthwash cups, and then returned to the dormitory inside the school.
Now I am spending money like water, and there is not much money left in my pocket.
Fortunately, the mushrooms in my own space are so good that I can pick them every two days.
It has not rained like this for a long time, so it is difficult to see this kind of wild mushrooms in the market in Hongxing Township, so the price is pretty good.
this period,
A pound of eel costs just over 2 cents, but when the market is out of stock, the price of mushrooms can reach 5 or 6 times that of eels!
After calculation, the price is actually not outrageous: a pound of eel in later generations costs 3 or 40 yuan, and it is not unusual for top-quality wild mushrooms to cost several hundred yuan a pound.
Those matsutake mushrooms can even cost thousands of dollars per pound.
Therefore, Luo Xuan can still keep his pocket money by selling mushrooms.
But if you want to buy building materials for your home and recharge the space, the amount of money required is not a small amount.
Luo Xuan made up his mind: When he has time someday, he will make another trip to the county town so that he can sell some of the "yellow goods" and cash them out.
By the time Luo Xuan had returned to the dormitory.
I saw three classmates have moved in into the dark room.
Since only one wall of the dormitory is open and there is a small window, there is not enough light in the room and it looks a little dark.
"Yeah, it's brother?"
Luo Xuan, carrying large and small bags of things, had just entered the dormitory, and his eyes had not had time to adapt to the light in the room.
Then he heard a vaguely familiar voice ringing in his ears, "Brother, why did you buy so many things?"
Then.
A thin classmate, about the same height as myself, greeted him enthusiastically.
He couldn't help but take the enamel basin, bedding, mosquito net and other things from his hands, and then enthusiastically took Luo Xuan to the wooden bed in the dormitory.
After Luo Xuan calmed down and took a closer look, he remembered: the person in front of him was the young man who was tortured by the seamstress in the sewing club last time.
"Brother, look, do you want to sleep on this bed or that bed?"
The young man was a little too enthusiastic, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
Just listen to the words "Brother on the left" and "Brother on the right" in his mouth, which is called affectionate.
Luo Xuan secretly cursed: "It's not like you are familiar with it. You're almost overpowering me..."
"Who are you?"
Luo Xuan held something in his arms and stood in the aisle of the bed. He asked the enthusiastic young man with a puzzled look, "My name is Luo Xuan. From now on, just call me classmate Luo Xuan."
The young man was holding Luo Xuan's enamel basin and mosquito net, and he was standing beside the bed and laughing, "Brother, you don't remember me? Hehe... Oh, let me introduce myself first. My name is Yu Guijun."
"Brother, look, there are four beds in the house. Peng Yong and Wang Bing are behind me. They occupy the two beds by the window."
Yu Guijun said: "Now there are only two beds at the door, left and right. Brother, you choose first. Once you have chosen, I will make room for you."
Hearing Yu Guijun's words, Luo Xuan felt sick to his stomach: This boy said the most polite and despicable words.
But in fact,
He was sowing discord and unknowingly pouring dirty water on Peng Yong and Wang Bing!
Ignore him for now.
Hearing what Yu Guijun said, Luo Xuan turned around and saw a bundle of luggage already placed on one of the two remaining beds.
Presumably this bed was chosen by Yu Guijun.
then,
Luo Xuan put his things on that bed first, preparing to clean the last bed before putting his belongings on it.
When Yu Guijun saw it, he immediately dodged to stop Luo Xuan, "Brother, my bedding is very dirty. If you put these brand-new things on it, I'm afraid it will get dirty for you."
"How about this, brother, you put it on Peng Yong's bed first? His bed and quilt are much cleaner than mine."
At this moment,
Peng Yong, who was originally sitting on the bed near the window, stood up and said to Luo Xuan, "Classmate Luo Xuan, right? From now on, we will be classmates and in the same dormitory."
.You're welcome, just leave your things here for now!"
Luo Xuan nodded and said thanks.
Then he put everything on the bed of Peng Yong...the classmate opposite who seemed to be named "Wang Bing".
Wang Bing was in the next class. Luo Xuan's predecessor knew him, but they had not dated him before and they were not classmates who lived in the same dormitory.
Peng Yong saw Luo Xuan walking to his bed, but he turned around gracefully and put all the things in his hands on the opposite side.
His expression suddenly changed!
Seeing this, the smile on Yu Guijun's face gradually disappeared, and then gathered again, like clouds blown by the wind, "Brother, rest! I'll help you sweep the bed and hang the mosquito net."
Luo Xuan was about to do it himself, but he was pulled aside by the enthusiastic Yu Guijun, "Brother, the place is narrow, you'd better rest for a while, and I'll help you with these!"
Seeing that I really can't intervene.
If the words are too harsh, it would be too hurtful.
So Luo Xuan simply sat down on Peng Yong's bed empty-handed and turned to ask him: "Did you transfer from the Dalaojun production team?"
Peng Yong was ravaged a little by Luo Xuan before, but now his mood is not too beautiful.
But since Luo Xuan was already sitting on his bed and asking himself directly, Peng Yong had no choice but to nod, "Yes, but how did you know?"
Luo Xuan pointed to the enamel basin for washing his face beside his bed.
Peng Yong turned around and looked around, and couldn't help but laugh: "Hahaha, you are so sharp-eyed and careful, I didn't notice any of this."
turn out to be,
On that brand-new enamel basin, there are words clearly written: Award to, Da Laojun Production Brigade, the outstanding cadre Peng xx in 55 years...
Peng Yong's father is the captain of the Da Laojun production team.
this time,
He transferred to the "Senior Primary School" in Hongxing Township from somewhere else. Before leaving, Peng Yong's mother, who loved her son so much, brought Peng Yong the enamel basin that the township government had awarded to her husband.
Now that the chat clip has been opened, Peng Yong's previous feeling of alienation from Luo Xuan has immediately disappeared without a trace.
After all, we all come from rural areas, so we naturally have a sense of closeness.
Those children who live "on the street", in urban homes, will not live with these rural children boarding in schools.
"Luo Xuan? Hey, I seem to have heard of this name somewhere."
Peng Yong shook his head and thought hard, "By the way! Are you the Luo Xuan who was on the radio? When my father beat me a few days ago, he said why I didn't learn well and follow that outstanding little club member.
Luo Xuan studies?”
"Oh my God!"
Peng Yong suddenly jumped up from the bed, "So you are the one who caused me to get hit with a blaster!"
When Luo Xuan heard this, his face suddenly filled with black lines...
As long as you are alive, why have you become the child of "other people" in other people's mouths?
