60s: Petite Wife

Shen Jiao was very satisfied with Huang Mengdi's well-being, she took out another assorted candy and handed it to her, smiled and blinked, Huang Mengdi took the candy with complicated thoughts, carefully hid it in her pocket, and gave Shen Jiao a vague expression. I looked at it several times.

When Shen Jiaxing came back with a bag of rice, Shen Jiao had not yet had her turn to buy vegetables. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer vegetables in the vegetable station, it was Huang Mengdi's turn. She bought a handful of vegetables and a few potatoes. She was lucky. She bought the last few tomatoes, which were big and red, and looked very festive.

When it was Shen Jiao's turn, there were only potatoes and radishes left in the vegetable station, green vegetables and tomatoes were gone, she had to weigh four or five potatoes, and then buy a few round radishes. With a face, as if someone owed her much money.

Shen Jiao scolded people when she picked a little too much, so scared that Shen Jiao hurriedly picked a few and walked out after paying the money. This was the first time she used paper money. All are copper, heavy.

And these paper money is really forbidden to spend. One dime can buy so many potatoes and radishes. Grandpa showed her how much money she had at home, and she could buy as many potatoes and carrots as mountains.

Shen Jiaxing hurriedly took the vegetable basket from Shen Jiao's hand. Seeing that she was a little unhappy, he comforted her, "It's okay, potatoes and radishes are also delicious. If we come early tomorrow, we will be able to buy green vegetables."

Shen Jiao nodded, but her mouth was very greedy for green vegetables. After all, she hadn't eaten green vegetables since she went to the frontier. It's been more than half a year. She saw the green vegetables in Huang Mengdi's basket just now. She has an urge to grab it and eat it raw.

Huang Mengdi?

Shen Jiao's eyes lit up, she came to Huang Mengdi, who had not gone far, and asked in a low voice, "Give me your vegetables? I'll give you an extra penny."

Two cents a piece of green vegetables, Shen Jiao's extra cent is a big addition. At this time, one cent can buy a few hard candies, and two pots of boiling water can be made on the tiger stove. Add half a liang of food stamps and two or three cents to get a glutinous rice ball with brown sugar stuffed in it and half a fritter.

Of course, Shen Jiao didn't know these prices, she just tried every means to get this vegetable that made her drool with the shrewdness and calculation of the Shen family.

Huang Mengdi's heart was unstoppable. She wouldn't be able to eat the green vegetables anyway, so she might as well turn it over to Shen Jiao to earn a penny, so that she can earn six cents from her private property. After saving for another year or two, she can buy it. Shoes are worn.

"Go over there and talk." Huang Mengdi lowered her voice, looked around, and dragged Shen Jiao to the entrance of the alley. There was no one there.

"Here, here are the greens for you."

Huang Mengdi quickly threw the green vegetables into Shen Jiao's basket, her expression was very flustered, and there were even fine beads of sweat on her forehead, showing how scared the girl was.

Although Shen Jiao thought it was strange, she didn't ask any more questions. She also shoved the three cents into Huang Mengdi's hands very quickly. The two little girls were like a connection between the underground staff. Shen Jiaxing looked funny, but He still looked around cautiously.

If this makes people discover that Jiaojiao and that little girl are trading privately, something will happen!

With three cents in the account, Huang Mengdi's nervous heart also calmed down. She glanced at the red tomatoes in the basket, and her mind moved. She couldn't eat these tomatoes, so she might as well...

"Do you want tomatoes? You give six cents." Huang Mengdi asked nervously, but she was thinking about a small calculation. If the tomatoes were sold, she would have seven cents.

Shen Jiao glanced at the tomatoes, and raised her eyebrows secretly. She knew that this thing was called foreign persimmons, which were imported from Fanbang. Because of the red and festive fruits they grew, most of them were used for ornamental purposes at home, but this fruit was not. It is poisonous, how can it be eaten?

But just now, many grandmothers bought these foreign persimmons back, thinking that the foreign persimmons can be eaten here. Shen Jiao didn't show any surprise because of the cautious cultivation in the frontier, but nodded in agreement with Huang Mengdi's proposal.

In this way, there were only a few potatoes left in Huang Mengdi's basket. Shen Jiao couldn't see it, so she took two round carrots from her own basket and put them in hers.

Huang Mengdi pursed her lips tightly and didn't say anything to refuse, but she returned the penny she had just received to Shen Jiao, Shen Jiao looked at her in surprise, confiscated the penny, and said with a smile, "We are a boat. Oh!"

After saying that, Shen Jiao left with the basket on her shoulders. Huang Mengdi glanced at Shen Jiao, bent over and left the alley with the basket on her shoulders.

Seeing the vegetables and tomatoes in the basket, Shen Jiaxing secretly gave Shen Jiao a thumbs up, his Jiaojiao is smart!

"Grandpa, what are these red fruits called? Are they edible?" Shen Jiao asked very carefully.

Shen Jiaxing glanced at the tomatoes and said with a smile, "These are called tomatoes, also called tomatoes, and foreign persimmons. They are very delicious vegetables. They can also be eaten raw as fruits, or even better when they are fried. Grandpa will fry them for you at night Eat eggs, the soup is a must, and the beef brisket stewed with tomatoes, tsk, it's even better."

When it comes to eating, Shen Jiaxing's talk comes up. From tomatoes to beef, from beef to red sausages, bread, and borscht, all of which Shen Jiao has never heard of Novel name.

"After two days, grandpa will take you to the restaurant to eat western food. It's a bit more expensive there, but we don't need food stamps and meat stamps. Let's order three steaks and a pot of borscht soup, so you can eat enough." Said with interest.

Shen Jiao was also attracted by the beautiful scene he described, and her mouth was full of saliva. Although she didn't know what steak and borscht were, they must have been delicious.

"Okay, eat your fill!" Crisp responded to Shen Jiaxing's words, and the grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled.

When he went back, Shen Jiaxing went to the non-staple food store to buy oil. It was soybean oil, and peanut oil was only available during the Spring Festival. He also bought soy sauce vinegar and other seasonings, and also made some kerosene, sugar, red glutinous rice, etc., and spent all the tickets on him. When it was over, I carried the large and small bags and went home.

When passing by the deli, Shen Jiaxing went in and bought a bunch of offal, such as duck heads and chicken feet. There is no ticket for these things, as long as you have money, many people will buy them back for drinks.

"Jiaojiao likes to eat duck feet, go back and eat enough!" Shen Jiaxing said with a smile.

Shen Jiao's face was bitter. The original owner liked to eat duck's paw. She never eats such dirty things. Think about what the duck's paw stepped on?

Poop!

How can she eat it?

After returning home, the Shen family eagerly grabbed a tender duck's paw and handed it to Shen Jiao, urging her to eat it quickly, under the loving gaze of the old man, Shen Jiao stubbornly shoved the duck's paw into her mouth. , comforting herself in her heart, it doesn't matter, she even caught a mouse and ate it when she was in exile, but it was just duck's paw, there was nothing she couldn't eat.

Once the psychological level was over, Shen Jiao tasted the deliciousness of duck's paw, and chewed it slowly, at the same time stuffing it into Shen Jiaxing's mouth.
