SIAS Chapter 186.1

The prices in this era are really cheap, but there is a shortage of supplies. You can’t buy anything even if you have money, and you need tickets.

The prices of things in the black market are indeed more expensive, but if you don’t need tickets, it’s still very cost-effective. This is to celebrate Solar New Year as Chinese New Year, so it doesn’t hurt to spend some money.

There is only one day to celebrate. A few people discussed it and planned to prepare food for two meals, one for ten o’clock, and one for four or five in the afternoon, and some snacks in the evening.

For the morning meal, everyone decided to make iron pot stewed chicken, and for the afternoon meal, they would make dumplings together, and the dumplings were stuffed with pork and cabbage.

Therefore, the ingredients to be prepared were: chicken, potatoes, rice, white flour, cabbage, and pork.

In addition, there were snacks such as peanuts, melon seeds, and sweet potato chips.

These things were already very abundant in this era. Most families didn’t have the opportunity to eat like this once a year.

Li Mengxue calculated the price of these things according to the black market prices she knew.

Because it was just one day’s food, even if it was for seven people, it was not much. It was only more than two yuan per person, which was much more cost-effective than ordering meat dishes at a state-owned restaurant.

After taking out this money, they actually had some things themselves.

For example, cabbage and chicken.

Yi Qingqing could provide chickens, Qian Lailai had cabbage in her private plot, and there was also a stock of potatoes that she had planted before.

So according to the amount of demand, Li Mengxue gave them some more money as a purchase from them, and the rest was purchased by her.

In fact, she only needed to pack it in the supermarket space.

Yi Qingqing’s side was also very convenient. She still had a lot of fresh pheasants stored in space, and they were even already processed. It was no problem to take one out or take an afternoon to go to the mountains.

It will be easier to hunt in the mountains when it snows, as it is easier to find traces of prey in the snow.

She can still make some money, although it is much more difficult than signing in at the bank. The price of chicken is 1.5 yuan per pound, and a chicken is only a few yuan. She can sell dozens of chickens after signing in.

In fact, Li Mengxue also has chicken in her space, but they are all frozen, not freshly slaughtered, and the taste may be worse.

Li Mengxue gave this task to Yi Qingqing on the grounds that she wanted to try pheasant.

Yi Qingqing was actually quite surprised that Li Mengxue told this today.

Even Yi Qingqing can benefit from this.

If she can spend money to get supplies directly from Li Mengxue, then she will no longer have to spend points to sign in at places like grain stations and non-staple food stations.

The money saved can be used to sign in at the bank. The return rate of the same sign-in location is much higher. The money from signing in at the bank can buy dozens of times more things from Li Mengxue than signing in directly.

In the past, Yi Qingqing had thought about using money to buy things from Li Mengxue, but the fact that she could get supplies and had something to do with the black market was too serious in this era, so who wouldn’t keep it a secret?

Although everyone is a friend, when it comes to such a matter concerning personal safety, she still cannot ask too much, so she lets it go.

But now Li Mengxue has said it herself.

Yi Qingqing was a little worried about her.

She exposed a hunting skill, and the danger was not particularly great.

Getting some wild animals in the mountains was something that everyone knew.

The villagers would do it, too. There were also people who caught ducks and picked up duck eggs in the reed marshes. They said that it was stealing collective property, but everyone did it secretly. It was just that some people were good at it and got more, while others couldn’t catch them.
