"This is it?"

Wang Chunxiao looked at what Li Qingshan took out and was slightly startled, then his face showed a hint of curiosity and surprise.

It's normal for Wang Chunxiao not to know about this.

After all, how could children in rural areas eat this kind of thing in this era? Shaqima costs one yuan per pound in the supply and marketing cooperative, and it also requires pastry stamps. This is what Xu Wanyin specifically explained to herself today. The planned economy has spread to rural areas. In the future, things like flour, rice, and pork will require food stamps and meat stamps, but soy sauce, vinegar, and salt are not required. Just give money.

It is still in the transitional period. In two or three days at most, anyone who comes to buy it will have to give a ticket.

The planned economy of food stamps actually started before last year. I don’t know the reason here in Tuxiang, but it has only been implemented in the lower towns now. In fact, Li Qingshan has a few guesses in his mind, but he is not sure. After the planned economy starts, workers, supply and marketing cooperatives, state-owned units and other places will issue food stamps and meat stamps on a monthly basis.

These food stamps do not mean that you can redeem them just by holding them, but that you have the qualifications to purchase them.

However, these food stamps will not be issued to agricultural households, that is, farmers. Farmers have their own land. After farming the land and handing over public grain, there will be some food left. Livestock and poultry can be raised at home. These are farmers' sources of meat and food. There are also limits on the poultry and livestock that can be raised.

For example, you can only raise one pig, not two.

There can only be about five chickens, not too many.

Moreover, after killing the pig, 60% of the meat needs to be handed over, but it can be exchanged for part of the food stamps and grain. This is also one of the ways for farmers to obtain various food stamps. These things are flexible and can be discussed, such as exchanging dessert tickets and industrial tickets.

Li Qingshan is now divided into three households.

He has one household, his parents have one household, and Liu Guixiang has one household. If Wang Naixiang's household registration is moved out in a few days, there will be four households. In theory, they can raise four pigs and about twenty chickens.

With the emergence of food stamps, if farmers want to buy desserts, meat, rice and noodles, they need to go to the black market to buy food stamps. At this time, food stamp dealers come out, but this thing is illegal, and it will be miserable if they are caught.

But the profits are really huge.

For example, for a 10-kilogram flour ticket, the dealer buys the grain from workers at the price of three kilograms of flour, and then sells it to those in need at the price of six kilograms of flour. The profit is very objective, and the tickets and rations are different in each place. There are some differences, so there is room for maneuvering.

Li Qingshan estimated that it won't be long before some food stamp sellers will appear in Tuxiang to do some speculative things.

This year, many places have begun to implement the advanced cooperative model.

But here in Tuxiang, even the primary cooperative model has not been implemented, and the food stamps are also later than other places.

For Tuxiang, this is a good thing.

However, after next summer, Tuxiang will become Tuxiang Commune. The Tuxiang in my memory will be merged with Linzhuang Township into a commune. This commune will be regarded as a big commune in the entire county.

Because we know that we need to plan the economy.

Therefore, Li Qingshan directly bought 500 kilograms of rice and 500 kilograms of flour, a total of one thousand kilograms. Now the rice and flour are 131 kilograms, a total of one hundred and thirty yuan. However, this time Li Qingshan only brought back a hundred kilograms of rice, and the rest was placed at the supply and marketing cooperative, and he would bring it back after dark.

There are a lot of jealous people in this village. If they bring back so much food at once, there will inevitably be no problems.

If you open your belly and eat it, you won't be able to eat these refined grains after next summer, mainly because your family has a large population and you are still a big eater. If you want to eat refined grains again then, you will have to go to the black market to buy food stamps, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy them again.

It's just that the cost is higher.

Nowadays, a pound of pork only costs more than 40 cents, a pound of brown sugar only costs 60 cents, and a pound of rice costs 13 cents. But the Shaqima in front of me costs one yuan a pound, which is ridiculously expensive.

"The salesman said this is Shaqima, please try it!" Li Qingshan handed a piece of Shaqima to Wang Chunxiao's mouth and said.

Chunxiao, a girl, dared to stand in front of her family with a kitchen knife today, which really shocked Li Qingshan. This little girl will definitely not be easy with this fierce energy in the future, so Li Qingshan decided to reward her specially.

"It's quite expensive, isn't it?"

Wang Chunxiao looked at the Shaqima handed over by Li Qingshan. The air was filled with an ambiguous smell, but he was very satisfied. He opened his thin lips and took a bite of Shaqima. The rice fragrance was moderately sweet, soft but chewy, and had some floral and fruity aroma. Compared with peach cakes, the desserts such as glutinous rice sticks were much more delicious. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with surprise in his voice: "It's delicious!"

"As long as it tastes good, these are all for you."

After Li Qingshan finished speaking, he wrapped up about half a kilogram of Shaqima in his hand and handed it to Wang Chunxiao. Then he continued: "By the way, you don't need to take Zhao Ba's matter to heart. He can't do anything to me, so don't feel any psychological pressure."

This was also the main purpose of Li Qingshan calling Wang Chunxiao over. If Wang Chunxiao had not been allowed to clear the way, there would have been a lot of traffic and discomfort in the past two days.

"Qingshan, how about I run away?"

"At worst, I will live in the old forest. You can help me build a house in the old forest. Since the old forest is so big, no one will find me. If you have time, you can also go to the house to see me."

"Zhao Ba couldn't find me, so he gave up."

"It's impossible to conflict with you again."

Wang Chunxiao said with worry on his face.

"What's wrong, have you forgotten the wild wolves in the old forest?" Li Qingshan said with a smile.

"What are you afraid of? We were in the Zaizi room at that time, and the wild wolves couldn't do anything to us. I didn't come out at night, so I hid in the Zaizi room, and then opened up a few acres of land. There will definitely be enough food. If you have time, just send me some salt and soy sauce."

"Besides, you can also come to my place to hunt, and I will wash your clothes and cook for you."

"How's it going?"

As Wang Chunxiao spoke, he actually yearned for such a life in his heart, and walked closer to Li Qingshan.

"Sounds good."

"If I can't defeat Zhao Ba, I'll do as you say, okay?" Li Qingshan reached out and touched Wang Chunxiao's head again, looking at him with expectant eyes.

When you get used to it in the future, you won’t be scratching your head anymore!

The pure snow peak must have never been climbed by anyone.

"Okay!"

"This is what you said. When the time comes, you will help me set up a trip to the harem...!"

"I helped you, do you want to give me some reward?"

"What payment do you want?"

"Ah, here...it's not good...!"

Li Qingshan and Wang Chunxiao stayed in the uninhabited corner for a while, and after whispering some words, they came out. Wang Chunxiao blushed with shame, lowered his head, the first button of his coat was carelessly unbuttoned, and his clothes were a little untidy.

"Qingshan, I...I'm going back first." Wang Chunxiao said in a thin voice.

"Well, slow down on the road!"

Li Qingshan nodded, watching Wang Chunxiao's back gradually go away, and then looked towards the yard.

The dogs, rice, and some daily necessities were all unloaded on the cart.

Dad took Li Cai, the carpenter, the blacksmith and a few others to the backyard. Li Qingshan planned to arrange the doghouse in the backyard, next to the wooden fence, so that he could also guard the fragrant deer in the wooden fence. After he had time to relax in the past two days, Li Qingshan planned to train these wolf dogs, and now he will let Dahuang take care of them.

Da Zhuang and Zhao Hongqi have carried the deer to the front yard, wiped its neck, and are now controlling the blood.

I, Liu Guixiang, and Wang Naixiang are burning firewood, boiling water, and preparing some things for cooking later. The deer meat will also be processed later.

"Mom, sister-in-law, Naixiang, why are you still wearing these old clothes?" Li Qingshan asked, looking at his sister-in-law and others who were still wearing shabby clothes.

"This dress is very good, I can wear it again!"

"I'm not in a hurry to throw it away."

Liu Guixiang said.

Li Qingshan frowned, walked towards the room, and found all the clothes of his father, mother, and sister-in-law. As for Wang Naixiang, he only had the clothes he was wearing and no other clothes.
