Chapter 2 The National Food Stamps for Cattle Breaking
As soon as I got off the bus in the morning, I had already bought a bus ticket back to Greentown, the capital of Guizhou Province, but the ticket was in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow - there was a bus the next day, and it would be good to be able to buy a ticket, otherwise Zhang Nan would have to give full play to the ingenuity of the purchaser and dig out his mind to rub the car!
Accustomed to the planes, high-speed rail, highways and his old Passat before rebirth, I unconsciously want to curse in the face of today's traffic situation!
"It's really troublesome!" complained and complained, but the problem of eating had to be solved first. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info carrying a briefcase, to the first floor, there is a door opening next to the service desk, and a big sign is hung on the lintel: restaurant.
Walking through the double-opened wooden glass doors, the dining room is quite large, with at least 10 large round tables, but this will be a square table. There are no backrest chairs, they are all wooden stools, and a few people are eating. There are also several posters posted on the square pillars in the hall, and if you look closely, they all promote food hygiene.
This is not a restaurant thirty years from now, where you will have to order your own food if you want to eat, just like a school cafeteria.
When I walked to the ordering window, I saw a large price list on the glass.
Zhang Nan smiled bitterly, all the prices written on it were set meals, ranging from two-person packages to ten-person packages, and the prices ranged from three or five yuan to thirty or fifty yuan, not cheap, but he could afford to eat, but there were few things he liked. Fortunately, there is also the price of noodles in the price list, and a bowl of shredded pork noodles is six cents.
"Comrade, come to a bowl of silk noodles. ”
The person who received the payment was a 50-year-old male waiter, and his attitude was not bad, but Mandarin had a very heavy Gui provincial flavor, which sounded a little difficult. "Six cents and eight, two taels of food stamps. Do you want to add noodles?"
"No, that's enough. As he spoke, he took out a wad of national food stamps from the side pocket of his briefcase, took out a half-catty food stamp, and handed it to the waiter with a two-yuan bill.
As soon as he saw that the customer took out a pile of national food stamps, the waiter's eyes lit up, collected money and looked for food stamps, and handed Zhang Nan a small wooden plaque with a "5" written on it.
This is to take the menu, and when the noodles are ready, you have to serve them yourself.
When he turned to leave, out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the waiter neatly stuffed the half-catty national food stamp into his shirt pocket, and glanced at the local food stamp and change in Gui Province that he was looking for, which was very funny.
If you don't have a national food stamp, you can starve to death, and this national food stamp is not easy to get, so it will be delicious.
"A bowl of shredded pork noodles eats thousands, hehe...". Deprecating.
The two yuan that I just paid was the "lathe" in the third set, and in 11 years, it would be more than 2,000 yuan for a brand new one, and it was hard to find one! Later, although it dropped a little, it has been maintained at more than 1,000. It has risen 1,000 times in more than 20 years, and he is one of the absolute currency kings, and now the streets are full of them! After Zhang Nan, who was reborn last year, figured out his situation, the first thing he did was to go to the bank and exchange all the money for two yuan, and next year the fourth set of renminbi will come out, and in a few years the bank will only accept and not pay the third set of renminbi.
It is worthy of being a government guest house, and there is a newspaper rack on the side, and I chose the "Gui Provincial Daily", and I found a place to sit down and read the newspaper and other noodles at will, and by the way, I remembered the era when there were smartphones.
Because he came late, the other people in the restaurant had finished eating and left, and he was the only one left. After a while, the waiter came over with a tray of noodles, and there was an extra plate of shallow spiced beef.
This treatment is rare, but he has met twice on a business trip, and Zhang Nan estimates that there is a following.
Sure enough, the waiter pulled a stool, sat next to Zhang Nan and began to cook homely.
"Comrade is here for our business trip?" the middle-aged man looked a little familiar.
"Well, on a business trip. Zhang Nan also stopped eating noodles for the first time, took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to the middle-aged man, "Your surname?"
"Your surname is Chen, Erdong Chen, Chen Pinggui. After speaking, he put the cigarette horizontally under his nose and sniffed it, "Phoenix, good smoke! ”
"You can just call me Xiao Zhang. Zhang Nan was also polite, "Lao Chen, do you want national food stamps?"
As soon as Zhang Nan said this, Chen Guiping smiled a little embarrassedly and gave Zhang Nan a thumbs up: "Xiao Zhang, don't look young, you look like a person who has run through three provinces and six docks, amazing!"
After saying this, Chen Guiping sighed and said: "I'm not afraid of Xiao Zhang's jokes, I'm not buying and selling." No way, my wife and daughter are rural hukou, my father-in-law and son-in-law are plasterers, and a few people from the same village went to the next door in Guangdong Province to find work. You see, there's something I can do here. ”
It's quite helpless.
"Haha, Lao Chen, you can be regarded as a backer. Zhang Nan quipped, this Chen Guiping must have used the local food stamps that he collected in his usual work.
"But Lao Chen, you also know that it's okay to spend money to buy national food stamps and go around among the locals, I don't dare to come on a business trip, if it is counted as buying and selling, how can I be reasonable?"
Hearing Zhang Nan say this, Chen Guiping showed a look of disappointment, Zhang Nan could see that what he said was the truth, but when he went out, he had to be careful. In fact, Zhang Nan always carries hundreds of catties of national food stamps on business trips, and he has a way to come, and to put it bluntly, he is ready to use it for resale.
After thinking about it, I was idle in the afternoon and tomorrow anyway, so I said: "Brother Chen, I am from Jiangnan Province, and I am not short of money and food stamps, I see that what you said is also the truth." I have a hobby, that is, I like antiques, that is, bottles and cans before liberation, ancient money, jade and bronze ware. Every time I go on a business trip to a new place, I will go around these things, and if you have them, we will buy them with a ticket. ”
The ticket, Zhang Nan said is obviously the national food stamp.
"Yes, yes! There are old things in every household, and there are a few bottles and cans that have been handed down in my house, and there are more in the countryside, and my ancestor is said to be a small capitalist, and there are more of these things. As long as the price is acceptable, it will be sold to you. ”
In 86, as long as you buy some old things, as long as you come from the right way, the public security doesn't care.
"I only need small things, even if you give me a big water tank for nothing, I can't take it away. Zhang Nan made a joke.
"Don't worry, we have also collected old things in the past two years, but we can't look down on five cents a piece, and we keep all the good things. Chen Guiping patted his chest and said. "Xiao Zhang, when are you free?"
"I'm almost done, I'll leave the day after tomorrow. Available this afternoon and tomorrow. ”
"Great, I'll rest tomorrow, I'll take a leave of absence later, and I'll go to my house in the afternoon." If we have time, we will go to my son-in-law's village again. ”
This Chen Guiping is still an acute child.
"Okay, far?"
"It's not far away, my house is nearby, 5 minutes walk. My son-in-law's house is in Taiping Village on the edge of the county seat, and it takes about ten minutes to get there, and I will borrow a bicycle later. ”
As soon as he heard that it was not far away, it was impossible for the people in the county government guest house to sell themselves, so he said: "Okay, I'll leave after I finish eating." ”
