Chapter 338: Limited Purchase Candy

Seeing this, He Yuzhu smiled and told them a little bit.
"The so-called cold dishes are stewed meat, fish, chicken or duck.
Today we bought it and cooked it in advance.

Then, when the weather is cold, keep it frozen under the eaves, and heat it up when you want to eat it during the Chinese New Year.

As for the big items, they are mainly steamed and hot dishes such as braised pork, braised pork with brown sauce, pork with rice noodles, red and white meatballs, and four-happiness meatballs;
Mussels, as the name suggests, are green vegetables, such as cabbage, tofu, etc.

You see, apart from cabbage and tofu, the rest are all meat dishes. In the old days, was it only the rich families who could afford to eat them?"

When He Yuzhu introduced what cold dishes and large dishes were, Li Qingshan and He Yushui began to drool like crazy when they heard the meat dishes he introduced.

Hearing his last question, both of them nodded vigorously with excitement.

"Yeah, brother, let's go faster.

Let's go buy the chicken, duck, fish and meat you mentioned. After buying them, we'll go back and quickly cook and freeze them.

Just thinking about it makes me hungry.”

Seeing his younger brothers and sisters couldn't wait, He Yuzhu nodded with a smile, then took them to Dong'an Market.

As soon as I arrived, I found that Dong'an Market was already crowded with people.
There are even many vendors selling New Year goods who have set up their stalls on the street outside the market.

After looking at the things in the stalls on the street, he found that they were all leftovers. He Yuzhu turned around and told He Yuzhu and Li Qingshan,
"There are too many people here. You two must follow me closely and don't get lost.

If you lose me, come out and wait at the door. I will come to find you there, okay?"

"Got it bro, let's go in and buy something."

Fortunately, the two followed him closely all the way and nothing went wrong. After buying chicken, duck, fish and meat, He Yuzhu took them to the candy store.

The candy store was packed with people at this time, but most of them were queuing up obediently in front of the store.

I think he must have been educated by the staff inside.

Seeing that everyone was queuing up, He Yuzhu quickly joined the queue. Then he saw He Yushui standing behind him, pointing at the shelf in the candy store and saying in surprise,
"Look, there's a lot of candy in there besides our Peking kids' cakes."

Following the direction of his sister's finger, He Yuzhu also discovered the dazzling array of candies on the shelves, even the three famous candies of Daxia were all there.

The most eye-catching and popular item on the shelf is undoubtedly the ABC candy in red Mickey Mouse packaging.

Although it has undergone many changes,
But He Yuzhu knew that this was undoubtedly the famous White Rabbit Milk Candy, known as seven candies and a cup of milk.

Turning his head to look at his sister who was also having trouble walking, He Yuzhu asked with a smile,

"If you like rainwater, we'll buy more later."

When He Yushui heard his brother say that he wanted to buy more candies, if he hadn't been carrying so many things in his hands, he would have jumped three feet high.

Even so, the excitement on her face was beyond words.
Nod vigorously.

"Yeah, yeah, brother, let's buy more, especially the crispy candies and milk candies, so we can save them for later."

He Yuzhu was about to agree when he heard an old man in front of him say with a smile,
"The little girl has a beautiful idea.

But just now the staff at the candy store said that the military control committee has regulations, limiting purchases, and there is no more. This year during the New Year, every household can buy half a pound of candy with their food credits."

After saying that, he turned to look at He Yuzhu and asked,
"Young comrade, you didn't bring your food book when you went out today! You can't buy candy without it, and it's useless to queue up." After saying that, the old man smiled and pointed at those people who left the team with a look of regret on their faces.

Hearing the old man's kind reminder, He Yuzhu smiled and reached into his pocket, then took out the He family's grain book from the space and shook it in front of the old man.

"Look at what you're saying, old man.

When you go out, you can't go without your food coupons and money. You're just making things difficult for yourself, right?"

"Hahaha, comrade, you are right.

Now if you go out without your food coupons, you can hardly take a single step.”

While chatting with the old man and queuing, He Yuzhu soon arrived in front of the candy store.

When He Yuzhu heard the candy store staff mention the half-pound purchase limit, he thought about it, and then bought some crispy candies and milk candies to make up the half-pound.

After coming out of the candy store, I bought a few candied haws from a stall outside.

He Yuzhu continued to walk inside with his younger brother and sister.

"Yushui, Qingshan, let's go buy the almanac and red paper first, and then go and pray to the God of Wealth and the God of Doors. After that, we can go back."

For He Yushui, she doesn't care much about the almanac, door gods, red paper, etc.

As soon as he heard about praying to the God of Wealth, his eyes lit up immediately.
"Brother, you must invite more gods of wealth back today. On New Year's Eve, Qingshan, Jianguo and I will go to each household to send the gods of wealth.
If you bring more back, we can give more and get more rewards."

"Okay, you little money-grubber,

I will invite more gods of wealth back for you today, and see how much money you can get from your neighbors. "

He Yuzhu had just finished speaking with a smile when Li Qingshan asked,

"Brother, why did you buy red paper? In previous years, we always asked Uncle Yan to help write the word "Fu" and couplets. Are you going to write them yourself this year?"

“You must write it yourself,

Uncle Yan also collected our melon seeds and peanuts to write the couplets.

Now that I can write my own couplets, I can keep the melon seeds and peanuts for myself to eat.”

The three siblings strolled to a newsstand selling almanacs and red paper.
Just after paying, the stall owner saw that He Yuzhu had bought so many Spring Festival couplets at once. He realized that this was a big customer and started to recommend other products.
"Little comrade, have you invited the God of Wealth and the Door God? If not, just come and invite them from my place!"

Following the direction pointed by the stall owner, He Yuzhu looked at the portraits on the stall, then flipped through them.

It looks good.
After calculating silently, he said,
"Okay, then you need to buy me three sets of Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong, one set of Hehe Erxian, one Zhong Kui, two Zhao Zilong Riding Alone to Save the Lord, and finally 15 God of Wealth."

When the stall owner heard that He Yuzhu wanted to buy so many statues, he instantly became happy.
"Okay, okay, I'll get it for you right away."

After shopping, the three siblings came out of Dong'an Market and just as they walked into Nanluoguxiang, they smelled the aroma of meat wafting from the alley.

It seems that the neighbors who came back have already started preparing New Year's dishes.

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I smelled the aroma of meat wafting from the Yan family opposite, and then I saw He Jianguo rushing out from the east wing.
