After work, Yi Yongqing bought some bread at the factory. He spent 1.50 yuan and bought more than three catties, which was about 50 yuan per catty.
Bread and cakes were considered luxury goods these days. They were much more expensive than ordinary food.
Ordinary rice was 1.2 cents per catty, better rice was 1.7 cents to 20 cents per catty, and refined flour was 1.8 cents per catty.
Edible oil was 8.5 cents per catty, salt was 1.4 cents per catty, white sugar was 8.4 cents per catty, beef was 6.9 cents per catty, pork was 7.9 cents per catty, and eggs were 6.5 cents per catty (about 6 cents per egg).
Of course, prices would fluctuate slightly, but the state had adopted a policy of unified purchase and marketing since the 1950s and only abolished it in the 1980s. Therefore, prices did not change much in the 1960s and 1970s.
After leaving the food factory, they waited for a while before Hou Jianjun and a girl came out talking and laughing.
The girl was wearing a blue shirt and gray pants. She had a beautiful face, fair skin, an oval-shaped face, and big eyes. Her black hair was tied into a braid and hung behind her head. When she saw Yi Yongqing, she quickly ran over. Her chest was jumping as if there were two rabbits in it.
"Hi, Yongqing, are you free tomorrow? Let's go to Beihai Park to play!”
The girl asked Yi Yongqing with a smile. She was He Liping.
"No, I still have to learn how to cook tomorrow. You two go ahead."
"I bought some bread. I'll share some with you!”
Yi Yongqing frowned and refused.
It wasn't that he didn't want to play, not to mention that it was a beauty who invited him, but he still had a system mission to complete.
"Then forget it!"
"Thank you for the bread. I'll be leaving first.”
He Liping was very disappointed. With a bitter face, she took the bread that Yi Yongqing handed over and left reluctantly.
The three of them didn't have bicycles, and they didn't go the same way. It would take a long time to walk home, so they didn't waste time chatting.
These days, a bicycle would cost more than 150 yuan. The more famous brands were Flying Pigeon and Forever, but they couldn't afford it.
"You also know that she likes you. What's the use of dragging me along!”
Hou Jianjun mumbled.
"I was just saying. I really have something on. Alright, goodbye.”
Yi Yongqing gave him some bread, waved his hand, and left.
……
A translucent holographic screen appeared in front of Yi Yongqing.

The system would have a total of three missions. The first mission would usually be a daily mission, and the second and third missions would be long-term missions.
After coming to this world, the points that Yi Yongqing had painstakingly saved up were all exchanged for personal qualities in the early stages. Later on, because he was working in the food factory, he exchanged them for Western-style pastry skills.
This way, he could quickly transfer to the baking workshop and be promoted to a technician.
Other than relying on his daily hard training experience, his main skill was to exchange points.
Points could be exchanged for one point of personal quality for 1000 points, and 10 points of skill experience for 100 points.
"I still have to learn cooking from He Yuzhu. I'll go buy some wine and dishes to go with it first!”
It would take about 30 minutes to walk from the food factory to the courtyard house. He could use this time to complete task 1.
Yi Yongqing jogged all the way to the Dongdan vegetable market, bought a live chicken, mushrooms, potatoes, etc., and packed them in a net bag. He also went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bottle of wine. He spent a total of 2.60 yuan and completed his daily tasks before returning to the courtyard.
Because she got off work at 4:30 pm, it was already 5:30 pm when she reached home. At this time, many families had already started cooking dinner.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
Yi Yongqing happily walked into the house and shouted.
The Beijing Siheyuan that Yi Yongqing lived in was divided into three parts, the front, middle, and back. There were three uncles in charge of the house.
The person in the front yard was the third uncle, Yan Bugui. He was a primary school language teacher. He liked to chew on words and was extremely stingy. He was good at scheming and was known as Yan Laoxi.
The person in the middle court was an old man called Yi Zhonghai. He was Yi Yongqing's adoptive father and a grade eight fitter in the rolling mill. He was upright, upright, and helpful.
The one in the backyard was the second uncle, Liu Haizhong. He was a seventh-grade fitter in the ordinary workshop of the rolling mill. He loved to manage things, wanted to be an official, and liked to gain power.
"Why are you back so late?"
"What did you buy?"
"You're wasting money again!"
"Your mother is cooking in the kitchen!"
Yi Zhonghai shook his head and smiled as he went to take the things from Yi Yongqing.
His monthly salary was more than 80 yuan, which was considered a very high income. He basically did not ask about Yi Yongqing's income. Yi Yongqing was not the type to spend money recklessly.
On the other hand, his wife and aunt requested Yi Yongqing to pay ten yuan a month to save up for Yi Yongqing to marry a wife.
"Is Yongqing back?"
A middle-aged woman's voice came from the kitchen.
"Yes, I'm back! This is the bread I bought from the factory for you and Mom. I'll go kill this chicken and make some soup.”
"By the way, Dad, He Yuzhu, is Brother Zhu back yet?”
Yi Yongqing put down the things and asked.
"He should be back. Why are you looking for him?”
Yi Zhonghai replied.
"Isn't tomorrow your day off? I want to learn how to cook from him again! I'll call Brother Zhu over to eat with us later.”
"Mom, boil some hot water. I'll pluck the chicken feathers.”
Yi Yongqing replied with a smile. He went to the kitchen to get a knife and went outside to bleed the chicken.
Perhaps it was because Yi Yongqing bought things from time to time, but the auntie was not surprised. In addition, she treated him like her own son and rarely blamed him.
At this moment, a figure rushed into the courtyard house.
"Qin Huairu, Qin Huairu, something happened to your husband. Quick, come with me!”
It was He Yuzhu, and she headed straight for Qin Huairu's house.
Qin Huairu was cooking at home. When he heard He Yuzhu's shout, he couldn't help but panic. What happened?
Qin Huairu's mother-in-law, Jia Zhangshi, also felt a chill down her spine. Her hand was holding the sole of her shoe when she accidentally pricked her finger. Blood immediately flowed out. However, she did not care about the pain and hurriedly stood up.
Wasn't his son working in the factory? What could happen?
