Chapter 248 Food Stamps Disturbance "Ask for Monthly Tickets"
Wubing was also taken aback, his reaction speed was extremely fast, but the T speed could not keep up with the reaction of the human body, the operation of the machine always has a process, so he still felt a slight sense of collision.
The people sitting in the car felt a slight collision, but the people who were hit outside the car couldn't say how deeply they would feel. All in all, it won't be very easy.
After braking the car, Fan Wubing hurried down to check the situation, and found that the man hit by his car was an old man who looked to be in his sixties, lying on the road moaning, and he didn't know the extent of his injuries. What happened?
At this time, some people gathered around, but when everyone saw the situation, they felt that there was something wrong with the old man's walking. There was neither a zebra crossing nor a pedestrian passage, so he just crossed from the express lane. Come here, it's lucky that you didn't get hit and killed.
"This old man is looking for death—" someone pointed at the side and said.
Fan Wubing couldn't be sure if he was looking for death on his own, anyway, he hit his car, he hurriedly checked the old man, and found that it was not bad, but his arm was broken when he fell down, His face rubbed against the road, and there were some slight scratches, but it didn't bother him much.
So Fan Wubing said to everyone, "Let's make room, the old man's arm is broken, I have to send him to the hospital immediately."
Everyone looked at it and felt that the young man driving the car had a good sense of consciousness. He neither escaped nor came down to yell at him. Instead, he directly chose to rescue the injured in time, and they immediately expressed their approval.
Zi Qi opened the back door of the car, Fan Wubing carried the old man in, put him down on the seat, then started the car, ready to go straight to the nearest hospital.
"Hey, young man, the old man's bag is still here—" an aunt outside held a large black artificial leather bag and handed it over.
"Oh, thank you very much." Fan Wubing thanked him, then put the old man's big bag into the car, and drove to the hospital.
Because it was a minor injury. Naturally, it was impossible for Fan Wubing to send the old man to prison. I found a nearby hospital. Sent in. registered. Then I went to the emergency department of a specialist.
This hospital is just an ordinary hospital in the district. But the balance is good. Attitude is fine too.
The doctor examined the old man carefully. Then he said. "Forearm fracture. Facial abrasions. Whether there is a concussion needs further observation to be sure. How did the injury become like this?"
Fan Wubing shrugged his shoulders.
"How would I know! I was driving on the road. The old man rushed over here. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have killed someone! I hope the old man is okay. Otherwise, I am not at ease in my heart Already!"
"Then you have to tell the traffic police team—" The doctor looked at Fan Wubing. Then said. "How fast are you driving? Have you been drinking?"
Fan Wubing smiled wryly. "Why am I drinking so early in the morning? It's not fast at all. It's less than seventy yards anyway!"
The doctor nodded, and then said, "Okay, then you should pay the hospital deposit first, and register your name and contact information. We have to contact the traffic police team. After all, this is an accident."
"No problem, I will do as you said." Fan Wubing naturally had no objection.
Fan Wubing went to the front desk to pay the hospital deposit, and when he came back, he found that the old man had woken up and was talking to Ziqi.
Seeing Fan Wubing, Zi Qi said to him, "Wubing, the old man woke up, there should be nothing serious, the doctor will come to fix his bones later.
"
At this time, Zi Qi took off her sunglasses, and the old man recognized her. It's no wonder that "The Same Song" has become a program with very high ratings at this time. As the hostess, Zi Qi, The popularity is no less than that of a few CCTV news anchors, and the two of them chatted for a while.
The old man said apologetically to Fan Wubing, "I'm sorry, I was dizzy just now, and I bumped into you, and I really caused you trouble."
Fan Wubing was amused when he heard it, and thought what's going on, he crashed into a car?
"Oh, I feel bad, I'm in a trance, I don't know why, so I ran out." The old man told the two about his own affairs, but it turned out that there were some reasons.
The old man asked Zi Qi to fetch his big black artificial leather bag, and asked her to open it.
Ziqi opened the zipper of the big bag according to the old man's instructions, revealing a large oil-paper bag inside, but inside were many colorful printed materials. Looking carefully, it turned out to be a large full-page food coupon.
Yo, that's rare.
When Fan Wubing saw these things, he immediately felt a sense of intimacy. This reminded him of the big bag of stamps left by the father of the three Wang brothers when he was collecting stamps. Now he saw these food stamps , It feels like a scene reappearing.
In 1955, the State Council passed the Interim Measures for the Printing of Quantitative Grain Supply Vouchers in Municipalities
. , all kinds of food tickets began to enter Chinese society, and a special T began. Tickets represented by food stamps have become the shackles tied to commodities, and it is difficult to move an inch without tickets.
It was not until last year that the country abolished the food stamp system, and it took a full 38 years for food stamps to officially withdraw from circulation.
Taking Shanghai as an example at that time, due to the largest population, the number of food stamps issued was also the largest.
Shanghai's food stamps with the smallest denomination of two and a half cents were the most famous in the country at that time. They used to eat breakfast, and there were four King Kongs, which were sesame seed cakes, deep-fried dough sticks, porridge, and soy milk. Usually, an adult man's breakfast consists of two biscuits and one deep-fried dough stick. In order to keep the deep-fried dough stick from changing, a two-and-a-half-cent food stamp was invented.
In addition to food stamps, the Grain Bureau at that time was also responsible for issuing sugar tickets, cake tickets, poultry tickets, meat tickets, fish tickets, etc. During the Cultural Revolution, most citizens were limited to two ounces of gasoline per person per month. After the reform and opening up, it gradually increased to half a catty to one catty per month.
At that time, every household had a grain purchase book, which stated the number of people in the family and the ration. Then food stamps are issued according to the plan, and the residents take the food stamps to buy food.
The people in the grain store sell grain to the residents according to the ration in the grain book. If the ration exceeds the ration, they cannot sell it even if they have food stamps.
The fixed-point and rationed supply at that time actually made people hungry, but they could not die of hunger. At that time, the country had to ensure that everyone could maintain a basic life. This task was not easy at the time.
In fact, until the grain market was opened up last year, the grain bureau’s standard for supplying the market was to store new rice every year and push the old grain that had been around for three years to the market for supply. The purpose of this is to reduce the loss of the country and store more rations, because the food will not be edible after three years of storage.
A grain store restricts all residents who buy grain from it. The number of people in a family and how much rice they eat can be clearly seen at the designated grain store. If they leave the grain store, residents cannot eat outside.
The household registration management of grain stores is more powerful than that of police stations. The fixed-point grain stores can control the flow of residents, and they can control people until there is no grain of rice. In the era of the planned economy, the population control office was mainly composed of the Grain Bureau and the Public Security Bureau. There was a plan for people entering the city every year. If there was no prior notification to the Grain Bureau, even if the household registration was transferred to the city, there would be no commodity grain certificate.
At that time, the head of the food supply department could go in and out of any department, whether it was a confidential unit or an important agency, and he could go to ask the other party's grain and oil situation.
Later, the living standards of the residents improved. Because of the implementation of family planning and the increase of non-staple food, the residents no longer simply ate food to survive, and there were more or less balances in the monthly food stamps. Even if there is an emergency at home and there is not enough food, you can buy bargain food to fill the gap.
As residents accumulate more and more food stamps, food stamps have gradually taken on a new role. People regard it as a currency in circulation and start trading commodities with food stamps. The national general food stamps issued by the Ministry of Grain, Commonly known as flying all over the sky, it is a recognized hard currency.
According to the regulations at the time, local food stamps could only be used locally. If you went on a business trip, you had to use national food stamps. Otherwise, you would not be able to buy food and you might starve. At that time, the examination and approval of general food stamps was extremely strict. If you went on a business trip to another place, you could only issue the corresponding general food stamps according to the number of business trip days, and you also needed a business trip certificate from your unit when issuing.
Because of this strict distribution system, general-purpose food stamps are sought after in the underground market, and a catty of national general-purpose food stamps is worth 20 cents.
Food stamps were first used to buy food such as non-staple food. Later, some southern businessmen began to sell items such as aluminum pots and steel pots in alleys and alleys. Tens of catties of national general food stamps can be exchanged for an aluminum pot.
With the development of the market, this kind of underground transaction has become more and more open. In some large free markets, the exchange of food stamps has become open.
Fan Wubing looked through the old man's large pile of food stamps, and found that there are quite a lot of varieties. They can be found anywhere, and they are all in good condition. There are not many food stamps in the country, so he asked curiously, " Uncle, why did you get so many food stamps? Are they all exchanged for things?"
Exchanging food stamps for things is also a means of making a living, and only those in the industry know the tricks, but Fan Wubing never thought that the old man would bring so many various food stamps with him.
You know, food stamps are all invalid now. Although the collection value will be higher in the future, but now, they are equivalent to worthless waste paper. I really don't know why the old man brought so many food stamps to Beijing.
Hearing Fan Wubing's question, the old man couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and then said, "Oh, it's hard to say!"
"Let's talk slowly, anyway, if you are idle, you are idle—" Fan Wubing said.
