Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 12 Capital verification is required before buying breakfast

Breakfast shop, the only breakfast shop in Longyang town is opposite Longyang Junior High School. Some public offices in the town are also nearby.

It takes more than ten minutes to walk here from home.

There is no formal shop, and even without looking carefully, there is a word “morning” hanging on the window of a house. Luo Chengdu would not think that it is a breakfast shop.

It’s no wonder that Luo Cheng couldn’t recognize it, because it had nothing to do with the breakfast shop in his memory, even if it was shown in the TV series, it didn’t look like this.

There is a man sitting at the door. If you want to buy breakfast, you have to check whether you have food stamps. If there is, they will let you in to pick breakfast.

In fact, it’s no wonder that people selling breakfast are hungry. This is a year of famine, and many people are so hungry that they want to eat just one bite before dying of starvation.

Any place in town that sells anything related to food has basically been forcibly taken away by some hungry people. Some people say they want to buy breakfast and eat directly after taking the food. Then they confess that they have no money and no food stamps. So what if you call the police? They won’t resist. They will beat the other person to death, that is, they will forcefully eat you.

Fortunately, the breakfast shop is public. If it were a private one, in this world, it would have been closed down long ago after being forced to eat a few overlord meals. There is nothing we can do now, we don’t even take out the food, and we have to ‘capital verification’ before buying breakfast.

If you feel unhappy and think people suspect you can’t afford it, you don’t have to buy it and leave. The chef who makes breakfast is not afraid of not being able to sell it. As long as it cannot be sold, it will be disposed of to certain units, and they will treat it as a work meal.

“National food stamps, little comrade is not a local?”

The breakfast vendor saw that Luo Cheng was taking out national food stamps, and Luo Cheng was speaking in Mandarin, so he asked.

“Master, this is my brother. He just came back from the army in the field. He is used to speaking Mandarin outside. He is a local, so he can’t count my brother’s food stamps too much.”

Upon hearing the breakfast chef’s question, Luo Xiaoyu quickly answered on behalf of Luo Cheng.

Hearing Luo Xiaoyu’s answer, the breakfast chef nodded. It was impossible to overcount food stamps, but if he was not a local and used national food stamps to buy things, then he would treat them as ordinary food stamps. But since he is a local and has returned from the army, the algorithm is naturally different.

People who usually need one tael of food stamps to eat, Luo Cheng gives food stamps to the whole country. With one tael of food stamps, he can give one, two or three taels of food to eat. When the time came, the provincial government said that he was cheating people. Although national food stamps were worth more than regional food stamps, that was a private statement. On the surface, any food stamp should be calculated according to the amount marked on it.

I asked about the price and it was really cheap. Especially the pancake, which was gray and looked like it might not be appetizing to Luo Cheng. But it was so big that Luo Cheng felt that he could be full with just one pancake. The price is only five cents.

As for steamed buns and steamed buns, they are much larger than those of later generations. The steamed buns are not as white as the ones Luo Cheng brought back from the army, and the buns are also a bit off-white.

Buns and steamed buns cost three cents each, which was the same price in years before famine.

Some people may ask, haven’t the prices of food increased during this famine year? In fact, prices have not increased, at least not at grain stations and supply and marketing cooperatives. But the rations for urban residents have been reduced, and they can no longer receive so many votes every month.

Without food stamps, you can’t buy food at grain stations or supply and marketing cooperatives even if you have money. When buying things in Pigeon Market, what some people lack is not money, but tickets. Therefore, in Pigeon City, the food supply has indeed increased a lot, it can be said that it has increased several times.

But if you have food stamps, you can buy food at normal prices.

Nowadays, rice and flour are still 16 cents, corn is 10 cents, pork is 6 cents, cob noodles are 5 cents, and sweet potatoes are even cheaper.

Luo Cheng felt that a large cake in the breakfast shop weighed half a catty. It was really thick, but anyone who knew food knew that it was made similar to stick noodles. Two cakes are more than a pound, and they only cost a dime. But if you buy stick noodles yourself, a dime can buy two pounds.

Anyone who knows how to live will be able to calculate this debt, so those who can afford breakfast outside usually have a relatively wealthy family. You can brag in front of your neighbors if you have breakfast outside. As for going out to a restaurant, that’s even more impressive.

For a few cents and more than a kilogram of food stamps, Luo Cheng bought a large amount of breakfast. According to the weight of the grain, it must be more than one kilogram, but Luo Cheng gave him national food stamps, and the flatbread was made of coarse grains and could not be sold as fine grains.

Anyway, the breakfast chef was a sincere person. He knew that Luo Cheng was a local and had returned from serving as a soldier, so he didn’t charge him more for food stamps.

After buying breakfast, Luo Cheng and his sister returned home. On the way, he took a bite of the flatbread. His brows straightened up. If such a cake were to be eaten by others in future generations, he would not eat it for free. Not to mention the taste, the texture~~how can I put it, is particularly difficult to swallow and it hurts the throat.

After taking a bite of the pie, they threw it directly to Luo Xiaoyu and the others, and naturally they would not dislike the pie that Luo Cheng had bitten. For them, there is no such feeling at all. Compared with steamed buns, this flatbread is much more delicious.

Luo Cheng didn’t like steamed buns very much, but the vegetarian buns in the breakfast shop tasted pretty good. Luo Cheng finally found something that suited his appetite. But flatbreads and steamed buns are the most purchased, mainly because they followed Luo Xiaoyu’s suggestion. Vegetarian buns have vegetable fillings, but vegetables have no face value.

Buying steamed buns and flatbreads will definitely please your parents. Although the vegetarian buns are more delicious, they are not cost-effective. My grandma is getting older, so buy some for her to have a taste of.

When Luo Cheng and the others came back, their father Luo Wen also took leave from the brigade and came back. It’s not far to begin with, and buying food is a big deal. It’s no different these days than usual, so buying food requires a few people to go together for safety. So the people in the brigade asked him to come back without any hesitation.

“Dad, why are you eating steamed buns? There are not many vegetarian buns, and my sister won’t let you buy more.”

“If you want to eat steamed buns, give me a pancake. Just don’t buy more vegetarian buns. It’s not cost-effective. The price is the same as steamed buns. I just like to eat this big pancake, it’s chewy.”

When I returned to the house, my father was squatting at the door. His mother had long told him that Luo Cheng and the others had gone to buy breakfast. When they didn’t come back, Luo Wen was still nagging his mother, saying that the children were capable, but that they were spending too much money and would not be able to live well in the future. I need to find a mother-in-law to take care of it.

But after meeting Duo Luocheng, my father didn’t say a word. Just like grandma said, my eldest grandson is very capable. He can eat white flour steamed buns and vegetarian steamed buns as soon as he comes back. You, the son, know how to get by, but why don’t you get white flour buns for the mother to eat?

Around grandma, it is absolutely taboo to say bad things about Luo Cheng. Kissing someone from another generation is not just for fun, but grandma’s kissing from another generation only involves one person. Luo Bing was not very pleasing to her eyes, and her two sisters were just little girls in her eyes, and they would sooner or later belong to someone else’s family. Only Luo Chengcai is the most precious.

To be honest, Luo Cheng’s grandma was prepared not to survive this winter, but now that it has only been just over a day, she feels that she can still survive.

If it’s a big city, such as BJ 49 City in this era, of course the situation is not bad. But it’s really not made up. Especially during the two years of famine, anything related to food is really important.

People are starving to death. Can I tell you about morality? Many people eat rice directly. No one really wants to die, but if he really wants to die, what he desires most is to eat something before dying.
