For this Zhajiang noodles, you have to have some ingredients. Not only do you want vegetables, but you also have to have meat.
In this day and age, there were not many people who could eat meat all day long. However, the old man was very capable. He was a level-eight fitter in the rolling mill and earned more than 90 yuan a month. In this era where things were bought with a few cents, the purchasing power of more than 90 yuan was much stronger than in the modern world.
Of course, in this era, buying things not only required money, but also tickets.
The factory would give the money, but the tickets were fixed.
How many people do you have in your family? According to the rules, give them rations!
Heavy manual laborers in areas where grains and flour are staple foods should weigh 40 to 49 catties per month, and the average amount should not exceed 44 catties. Light manual laborers should weigh between 29 and 39 catties per month, with an average of no more than 35 catties.
There were also fuel tickets, cloth tickets, meat tickets, sugar tickets, cigarette tickets, alcohol tickets, and so on!
In short, tickets were needed to buy anything!
Among them, the most expensive ones were the meat tickets and the industrial tickets.
Of course, there were even more awesome things, such as bicycle tickets and so on!
Strictly speaking, that thing was also counted as an industrial ticket, but because of the huge supply and demand, it was listed separately.
The scarcest thing was still meat!
Because private farming was not allowed now, it was still possible to raise chickens and ducks alone, but pigs, cattle, sheep, and so on. Sorry, it was fine in the countryside, but it was impossible in the city. More importantly, in this day and age, it was already good enough for one's family to eat their fill. They even raised pigs, cattle, and sheep!
Even if you raise it and eat it yourself, you dare to sell it?
If they were caught, they would be fined and punished.
However, the market was always there. No matter how strict the checks were, there would always be a black market.
"No money!"
He Yuhao only had three yuan in his hands. When the educated youths went to the countryside, they did not pay. The other side provided them with food and accommodation, and everything was settled. This was also the most bitter thing for many educated youths. They never had a single cent in their pockets. They could never eat enough.
"Let's go to the old lady first!"
When he returned to his room, he found the money and food stamps that his elder brother, He Yuzhu, had left behind. He Yuhao realized that there was also a meat ticket!
"Good fellow, half a catty of meat!”
This thing was very expensive. Everyone had a fixed amount every month. What was even more terrifying was that if you went late, you wouldn't be able to buy it. Basically, you had to queue up before dawn. Otherwise, not to mention meat, there wouldn't even be meat dregs.
After putting away the food stamps, He Yuhao went to the house of the deaf old lady in the backyard and knocked on the door.
"Grandma, I'm Yuhao!"
"Sigh, my good grandson, come in quickly!"
He Yuhao pushed the door open and entered. Grandma was sitting by the bed. When she saw He Yuhao coming over, she was about to get up. He Yuhao hurriedly took three big steps forward.
"Grandma, please sit down. The auntie will bring lunch over next!”
"Eat with me!"
"Sure, I'll eat with you!"
"Sigh, alright!"
He Yuhao sat down and chatted with the old lady. The old lady grabbed He Yuhao's hand and refused to let go. After a long time, the old lady suddenly pointed at a box at the side and said,"Good grandson, go and get that box!”
He Yuhao had seen the box a long time ago. This thing was not simple. Although it was black all over, its foundation was not ordinary.
He Yuhao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Hehe, my good grandson, you can tell?”
"Yellow?"
"Yo, little thing, you have good eyesight. This is yellow rosewood. When I leave, this will be yours!”
"Bah, bah, bah, knock on the wood!"
The old lady looked at He Yuhao with a smile and said,""I'm not a child. What's the point of knocking on wood? I'm telling the truth, but I'll be coveting you first today. Open it!”
He Yuhao opened the dressing box and the old lady took out the things inside. Then, she took out a small oil packet from the bottom!
"Look at this!"
He Yuhao opened it carefully, but when he opened it, he was dumbfounded.
"This is…"
"Hehe, about ten years ago, someone told me that this was a good thing, so I kept it. Tell Grandma, what's so good about this thing?”
In front of him was a stamp. It was bright red, and there were seven words written in the middle. There was also a line of English below it!
From right to left, there were four words first-Qing Post!
Then, in the middle of the Qing and mail characters, three characters were written vertically--
Of course, it was traditional Chinese!
Below the word 'round', there was a number in English-1 dollar!
"This is a 1897 red stamp stamped with the small print of a temporary stamp. I'm really good. Ancestor, do you have such a treasure?”
"Hehehe…"
Grandmother Qi smiled and looked at He Yuhao expectantly. He Yuhao took a look, then walked out of the door to take a look. When he returned to the house, he secretly said to Grandmother Qi,""Ancestor, this is one of the most precious stamps in the world. Not only is it well-made, but it's also one of the few high-value stamps.”
" More importantly, there are very few new tickets that can be passed down from the past and still in good condition without a postmark!”
This ticket also had a title," The Best of Sino Post."
What did that mean? It meant that in the entire history of China, this ticket was definitely the first!
He Yuhao was very clear about it. In 2013, there was one that was auctioned in the city. Did you know that in 2013, this thing was sold for 5.7 million!
Before that, there was one in 2003. In 2003, it was sold for a sky-high price of 2.2 million.
As more and more people poured into the market, the " red printed small round " stamps were basically worth tens of millions. To a certain extent, they were even more precious than the " red mountains and rivers " stamps.
Because no one else had played.
After 13 years, these stamps would all be in private collections. Unless they were really in urgent need of money, they would still be privately transferred. It was almost impossible for them to be auctioned!
In fact, before He Yuhao transmigrated, there was an auction house that had put up an exhibition before the auction.
"Ancestor, you have to hide this well. This thing can be easily changed into a house in the future!”
"Hai, what's there to change the house for? If you like it, then take it!”
"Ah?"
Although He Yuhao was looking forward to the old lady giving him the stamp, he was shocked when she actually gave it to him.
"Ancestor, this…"
"Take it. It can't be used to send letters. This old woman doesn't have anyone to write letters to. After I leave, everything in this house will be yours!”
"Look at what you're saying. You're going to live to a hundred years old. Let me tell you, you have to take care of my children for me in the future!”
"Sigh, alright!"
The old lady smiled so widely that her face was full of wrinkles.
