Chapter 4 Buying pastries
Ye Tan ignored what Aunt He thought for the moment. Anyway, according to Aunt He's usual behavior, within half a day, the news of her being beaten would be spread throughout the alley.
After leaving the alley, she went straight to the grocery store.
Fengtang Town is not too big, and the alley where Ye's family lives is in the center of the town, so it didn't take long for Ye Tan to find a grocery store based on the memory of the original owner.
There is only one main road in Fengtang Town. Food stores, department stores and hardware stores, including state-owned restaurants, are all on this street, with bungalows scattered around.
Looking at the very old-fashioned shop in front of her and the people wearing gray, blue and black clothes around her, Ye Tan once again truly felt that she had really come to this era of scarcity. She took a deep breath. After calming down my mood, I planned to go to the grocery store to have a look. I didn't know what kind of pastries I could buy in this era.
There is almost no record of this in the memory of the original owner.
Today is a working day, and there are not many people in the grocery store. Ye Tan looked around, there are many kinds of candies, cans, tea, pastries, tobacco and alcohol, etc. Finally, Ye Tan stood in front of the pastry counter. .
Salespersons in this era have a guaranteed job, but there is no concept that customers are God. The salesperson in his thirties who was sitting behind the counter raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Tan. He did not stop knitting sweaters in his hands, and said lightly "What do you want to buy?"
Fengtang Town is a small town, so there are not many types of pastries, just some dumplings, glutinous rice sticks, honey sandao and the like.
Ye Tan then asked: "How do you sell bad cakes?"
"One pound and seventy-two cents, plus six taels of food stamps." The salesperson still didn't get up and replied indifferently.
"Where's Jiang Mi Tiao?"
"Nine cents a pound, no food stamps."
"Then I want two kilograms of bad rice sticks and two kilograms of glutinous rice sticks, one kilogram of each."
"It's three yuan and two forty cents in total, plus one pound and twenty taels of food stamps. Are you sure you want to buy it? Pay the money first, and I will install it for you." After hearing Ye Tan's words, the salesperson looked up at Ye Tan. Fan, dressed in old clothes, doesn’t look like someone who spends money lavishly.
"Buy." Ye Tan nodded, and immediately took out the money and put it on the counter. It is said that the dim sum in this era is very honest. She has to save a pound to try it herself. Anyway, she is not short of money now. , besides, the various tickets she has in her hands now are all local tickets, and they will be useless if she goes to Northeast China. She has to spend them quickly before leaving.
Seeing Ye Tan take out all the money and tickets, the salesperson raised his eyebrows and said nothing. After collecting the money and tickets, he wrapped the snacks and handed them to Ye Tan.
Ye Tan carried the snacks and went to the candy counter again. After looking at the candies behind the counter, he said to the salesperson: "I buy two pounds of white sugar, two pounds of brown sugar, and two pounds of fruit candies. Each one comes in a pound bag." One share."
"One person can buy at most one pound of white sugar and half a pound of brown sugar." After the salesperson finished speaking, he picked up the abacus and moved the beads. Finally, he said: "One pound of white sugar is seventy-eight cents. Add half a pound of white sugar stamps and half a pound of brown sugar." Forty-nine cents, plus 30 taels of brown sugar coupons, and 20 cents and a pound of fruit candy, a total of one dollar and sixty-seven cents, plus half a kilo of white sugar coupons and 30 taels of brown sugar coupons."
Ye Tan was stunned for a moment. She almost forgot that in this era, supply was restricted, so it was impossible to buy as much as she wanted.
When the salesperson saw that Ye Tan was silent, he frowned and said, "Would you like to buy it?"
"Ah, buy it." Ye Tan nodded hurriedly, took out the money note and handed it to the salesperson. Then he picked up the things and prepared to look at other things. Who knew that when he looked up, he saw two familiar people in the distance? The figure was talking to the salesperson at the pastry counter with his back to her. If he took a closer look, wasn't he the stepmother and step-sister of the original owner?
Ye Tan didn't want to meet the two of them at this time, so he turned around and left the grocery store.
Ye Xiaozhen was trying to buy Zongzi cake with Qian Huaihua, but Qian Huaihua didn't bring any food stamps, so she coaxed Ye Xiaozhen to go back and buy it again.
Ye Xiaozhen was reluctant to comply, pouting and refusing to leave.
The salesperson at the pastry counter was impatient, frowned and said, "Do you want to buy it? If you don't want to buy it, just stay out of the way. People are still buying it."
After that, he rolled his eyes and looked at Qian Huaihua. He didn't bring food stamps when he went out to buy things. You must be cheating. Look at the little girl from before. She didn't even blink when buying things. Tsk tsk. I don't know. Which family's prodigal child.
Qian Huaihua indeed didn't bring any food stamps, so she made a promise, and then persuaded Ye Xiaozhen to leave the grocery store.
Ye Tan left first, thinking about what he told Aunt He before to go to the hospital, so he turned around, found a deserted place, put all the pastries and candies into the warehouse, and went to Fengtang Town People's Hospital.
She was beaten, and there had to be some proof that she wasn't.
