Chapter 104 - 104 100 Exchange for Food Coupon
?Chapter 104: Chapter 100 Exchange for Food Coupon Chapter 104: Chapter 100 Exchange for Food Coupon This year, Chinese New Year came quite early. By mid-January, Shen Yunfang had started preparing for her upcoming trip.
In this era, there were a few essential items one needed for travel, and one of them was an introduction letter. It served as a person’s identity verification. Wherever you went and whatever you did, an introduction letter was needed, whether for taking a train, a boat, or staying at an inn. Without an introduction letter, sorry, but you were left to sleep on the streets—so the introduction letter was extremely important.
Shen Yunfang wasn’t worried about this because her uncle was the team leader of the production brigade. This made it easy for her to get one.
Another necessity was the food coupons. In this planned economy era, food was distributed nationally, so no matter where one went to eat, it was all supplied upon presentation of food coupons. Without them, even with a handful of money, nobody would sell you food. So one must prepare some food coupons before setting out.
Shen Yunfang had also made inquiries about this in advance. Farmers could have food coupons too; you just needed to take the grain from home to the county grain station for exchange. However, the exchange was not arbitrary; the production brigade had to issue a proof stating you really needed to travel out of town for the exchange of the national food coupons to be allowed. Otherwise, the station would only issue you provincial food coupons.
Furthermore, the production brigade’s seal alone was not sufficient; documentation stamped by the commune was required. Therefore, only Uncle Shen could help her get the required stamp from the commune.
Additionally, the grain station didn’t exchange just any grain for food coupons; they only accepted staple grains like rice or corn, not sweet potatoes.
