Chapter 19, Shopping(1/2)
Author: Matcha flavored ice cream
Zhang Liuer did not move after hearing this, but asked: "Or money? Where did you get so much money?"
"Hey, didn't you see me catching fish yesterday? I caught some fish and sold them for money. If my family comes to ask, just say you got it on credit. Don't tell me you bought it with money."
Yang Xiaole chuckled, and after finishing speaking, he continued to face her: "By the way, where is your father? Where did he go?"
When Zhang Liuer heard what he said, she went to get toilet paper.
I estimated the approximate weight and took it to the counter to weigh it.
When there were more, he removed some more, and when he was almost done, he pushed a pile of straw paper forward: "Then you are quite capable, you can get so many fish, don't worry, I won't tell them when they come. A total of
3 cents 6.”
After finishing speaking, he sighed at him and said, "How do I know where he has gone? Since I took over, I haven't seen anyone for three days."
Yang Xiaole lay on the counter and joked to her, "Uncle Zhang might find you a stepmother!"
"Bah! What nonsense are you talking about!"
Zhang Liuer spat at him, and then said: "Do you want anything else? If not, I'll read the little book."
"Yes, I'm kidding! Give me a pound of salt and five boxes of matches. By the way, do you still have the empty bottles? If so, give me two, and give me a pound of soy sauce and a pound of vinegar."
"
You still need to prepare some space.
It's a pity that kerosene is rationed, otherwise you can just buy a kerosene lamp!
When Zhang Liuer heard this, she muttered and went to look inside: "You have caught so many fish and sold them for so much money, but you don't know how to give us any."
The supply and marketing cooperative charges fish for 1 cents 2 or 1 cents 3, but if you buy it, it will be expensive, 1 cents 6 per catty.
If Yang Xiaole gave it to her, it would definitely be at the purchase price.
Two pounds of fish can save five or six cents!
It’s close to the price of half a pound of soy sauce.
When Yang Xiaole heard this, he smiled directly and said: "Okay, then I will go catch fish in the afternoon. If I catch it then, I will send one to you."
The two were originally classmates and had been getting along for three or four years.
It's just that after the other party dropped out of school last year, we became a little stranger.
Once the relationship is established, it will be useful in the future.
Zhang Liuer bent over and rummaged around.
When I heard the sound, I made two hums.
After a while, I took out two dirty salt water bottles and saw that they were collected by someone.
"Here, there is a pressurized water well at the door. Go and wash yourself."
He handed the things to him and said, "We agreed to get me a big fish one day."
"Don't worry. I'll go wash up at the door. Give me a rag and chopsticks."
Zhang Liuer's family did not work, but they received full work points, were given grain based on the average output of the brigade, and their family could still get some of the price difference from the sales.
Although it's not much, I can still have more than a dozen yuan left over after a year's living. Although it's not as guaranteed as a salesperson in a commune, it's still much more comfortable than most families.
But it won't work after a while.
When the time comes to eat the food in the canteen, all the money from this transaction belongs to the team.
Of course, this is all for later.
Zhang Liuer found a chopstick and a small piece of rag, and handed it to him with a little less washing powder.
"Thank you!"
Yang Xiaole took the things to the door, used a well to press some water out, and washed the bottles there.
Looking at the well being killed next to him, he thought of something. The production team also had one.
However, the iron rod of this thing often hurt the child's face.
It took me a long time to clean the inside and outside.
At Zhang Liuer's urging, he returned to the house.
"Hurry up, I have to close the door and go back to cook. What time is it?"
Yang Xiaole put the two bottles on the table with a smile. The cooking place was next door, so it wasn't too far away.
After the other party neatly finished everything, he put it on the table.
"Two pounds of straw paper is 3.6 cents, one pound of salt is 1.5 cents, 5 boxes of matches are 1 cents, 1 pound of soy sauce is 1.5 cents, and one pound of vinegar is 1 cents. A total of 8.7 cents, you can do the math yourself."
Yang Xiaole nodded: "Okay, wrap it up for me. Give me 13 cents of sorghum glutinous rice, which is exactly 1 yuan."
He wasn't going to buy the rest and would wait until he remembered.
There is still more than one yuan left, so I have to keep it for emergencies!
The other party weighed him another two taels of sorghum glutinous rice, which cost six cents more than a pound.
It's not too expensive, but I don't know how long the candy has been here. It may have expired. After all, the consumption of candy in rural areas is very small.
There are 13 in total, which costs about 1 cent each.
One egg can be exchanged for almost two, and larger eggs can be exchanged for three. Most families are reluctant to eat them.
But I don’t need votes for this thing now. When things get difficult next year, I will definitely ask for votes.
After finishing it, Yang Xiaole put one dollar on the table and said with a smile: "I gave you the money for the soy sauce earlier. I'll borrow the cloth bag and I'll return it to you in the afternoon."
Zhang Liuer heard this and took another cloth bag and handed it to him: "Remember to return it this afternoon, or I will go to your house to find you."
Received the money back.
Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely give it to you!"
Then put the things into the bag one by one.
This is actually a flour bag sewn together. The quality is actually quite good and can be used as clothing.
He took his things and prepared to leave.
However, he still explained: "Don't talk nonsense about the things I bought. Just say that I bought a bottle of soy sauce on credit. Don't talk nonsense about your father either."
Let’s buy something first and check the situation.
"Okay, I get it, I still have to cook!"
While they were talking, a man came over with two eggs and said to Zhang Liuer: "Bring me two boxes of matches!"
"No more, only one box!"
"Ah, just one box! OK, give it to me. When can I have it again?"
"I don't know, it seems like it will be next week."
…
While the two were talking, Yang Xiaole glanced at the blackboard on the wall and saw a few lines of words written beautifully on it.
Eggs: 0.48 per pound/2 cents each.
Dried beans: 0.23 per pound.
…
There are many kinds of things down there.
After reading it, he turned around and left.
There is nothing in his space for the time being, so he just came here to explore the way for the time being.
I have to wait until tomorrow to test Gao Danian and see if I can get some other tickets. At least I have to fill my stomach first.
After leaving the agency, he walked towards his home.
I left some paper-wrapped candies and soy sauce on the way, and the rest was thrown into the space.
Carrying the salt water bottle, walking on the road.
"Hey, I'm lucky today. I caught one with its cubs. I can have a meal tonight."
"Okay, I'll bring the wine with me tonight!"
…
Three middle-aged men came in front, carrying guns in their hands.
At first glance, they look like militiamen.
One of them was holding a gray rabbit in his hand, which weighed about three pounds and had a bulging belly.
Yang Xiaole felt happy for a while.
