Lucky Wife at 50s

Qi Yuanhua seemed to suddenly think of something, and patted his forehead.

"I almost forgot. When I got off work today, two colleagues asked me privately if the mushroom meat sauce we made at home could be replaced by barter."

"Ah?" Shen Yuerong was surprised.

Qin Tianru blinked, slightly surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood.

At the beginning of this year, materials were very limited, but now personal trading is strictly prohibited, and there are fewer channels for everyone to buy. It is estimated that many daily materials in the county and town are in short supply.

This lack of living materials can be tolerated for a while and will be used with old items, but in terms of food, it is a one-time consumption, non-reproducible materials, and they are gone after eating.

There is no way to do this!

It's really not easy to buy something to eat now, and the mushroom sauce she made is not something she boasted about. The ingredients are quite abundant, and a spoonful of mushroom sauce can kill a bowl of rice!

Even if there is no other meal, it will not be a problem. The most important thing is that it does not require firewood. Cooking some rice can solve a meal, which is quite trouble-free and practical.

However, she was very interested in the 'barter' transaction method they proposed.

Sure enough, human wisdom is infinite. Even if this door is closed, another window can still be opened.

"Are they trying to buy our family's mushroom sauce?" Qi Qing reacted in hindsight.

She has always known that mushroom meat sauce is delicious, especially for meals, but now that someone is willing to exchange something for their mushroom meat sauce, she instantly felt a sense of pride.

Her mushroom sauce is amazing!

Shen Yuerong couldn't help but emphasize, "Exchanging things for things, how can this be called buying? You two brothers and sisters must remember that there is no personal trading now, and private trading between the masses is even forbidden. In the future, the two of you can go out. Don't make a fuss."

"I know, mother."

The siblings responded in unison, realizing the grim atmosphere outside during this time.

Qi Yuanhua looked directly at Qin Tianru, "Huanhuan, you made this mushroom sauce, what do you think? Shall we change it?"

"Father, did you answer them?" Qin Tianru asked rhetorically.

Qi Yuanhua quickly waved his hand, "No, no, how can I make my own decision on this matter, but it's not easy for me to speak too directly on my first day at work, so I told them that I want to go home and ask my family for their opinions. , and answer them tomorrow."

"Well, what about the mother? What do you think? Do you want to trade with them? Anyway, I have no opinion."

Qin Tianru asked her mother-in-law's thoughts again. It is a bit of a brain to be able to work in the commune. Since they proposed to exchange things for things, it is estimated that they have done so much during this time.

Secondly, being able to work in the commune means that the conditions are not too bad. I heard from my father just now that the average salary of social workers is between ten and eighteen yuan, so it is normal for them to want to change something.

Shen Yuerong looked at her man worriedly, "Are your colleagues reliable? Won't you report us?"

In fact, Shen Yuerong was heartbroken. Anyway, they are now idle at home. Although they can't do farm work, they can still do some food.

Although there are already two working people at home, they don't have to worry about their livelihood at all, but it's boring to be idle at home every day. If you have something to do, you can live a more fulfilling life.

Secondly, she also considered the living materials at home. Shopping is not as convenient as before. The food in their family is very good every day. Therefore, the ingredients are consumed faster.

Now some people are willing to exchange materials for mushroom meat sauce. In fact, it is also a good thing for their family, which can save a lot of trouble.

If there is something missing, they can directly find someone to exchange it, so they don't have to spend time, so they run into the city to buy it, which is a mutually beneficial thing.

Qi Yuanhua: "Probably not. We are exchanging with each other, and no money is involved. It is not a violation of the regulations of private transactions. Besides, if they report it, it seems that they will not get anything good?"

"makes sense."

Shen Yuerong suddenly realized, after thinking about it, she patted her thigh and made a firm decision.

"In this case, let's try to change it first to see if we can find the things our family needs."

Qi Yuanhua: "Okay, then I'll tell them tomorrow, how many bottles do they need? That's the price."

Shen Yuerong looked directly at Qin Tianru. After all, it was made by her, and she knew the cost of ingredients best.

Qin Tianru gave a price after thinking about it: "Let's replace each bottle at the standard of two yuan. Although it sounds a bit expensive, we have plenty of ingredients. Such a bottle is enough to eat for a while."

"Two yuan is not expensive at all, and there is meat in it."

Qi Qing puffed up her face and expressed her opinion strongly. She felt that five yuan a bottle was not an exaggeration. After all, her sister-in-law's craftsmanship was really good.

"I also think that two yuan is too cheap?" Qi Jun agreed with his sister's words.

Qin Tianru raised his lips: "We can't use the consumption level of the provincial capital to measure the living standard of the township. Two yuan is a lot for the country people."

"Your sister-in-law is right. Two yuan is not cheap anymore. People in the countryside may not have two yuan for a month's expenses."

Shen Yuerong actively agreed. She manages all the expenses at home, so she knows the price very well. In addition to the mushroom meat sauce they make, the meat and mountain mushrooms are all brought back from the mountains, and the cost has dropped a lot.

"That's fine." The siblings said they had no opinion.

Seeing this, Qi Yuanhua said, "Okay, then I will answer them tomorrow."

Shen Yuerong reminded, "Pay more attention to yourself, although this is not a violation, but don't make it too high-profile, if there are other people who want to change, you can register it in that book.

As for what to change, as long as it is living necessities, we can use what can be used, and what we have at home can be kept as a gift to give away, anyway, it is not a loss. "

"Father, you'd better screen out the object of this exchange. If it's the kind of person who is restless and has a bad character, then forget it, you find a reason to push it.

There's no need to block yourself for those people. Anyway, our family's living materials are not particularly in short supply, and we don't need to look at who's face to do things. "

Qin Tianru thought about it for a while, and then expressed her own thoughts, mainly because she didn't want her father-in-law to endure any grievances or be difficult to be a man in order to get business for the family.

Although she has never been in the workplace, she also understands that there are many twists and turns in the workplace.

As soon as she heard Huanhuan's words, Shen Yuerong immediately realized what she meant.

"Yes, Huanhuan is right. We didn't do this all for that little material. We thought it was just for convenience and to find something to do."

"Okay, I understand, don't worry, I will control my senses." Qi Yuanhua felt warmer that his family put his own feelings first.
