Chapter 194 The joy of shopping
The next step is to prepare for the public grain delivery. Pack the grain into bags, weigh them, and then move them onto the tractor. The parts that cannot be pulled by the tractor are pulled by oxcarts, and then people pick them up. The Yongan production team is the first to hand over the public grain this year. The quality is also the best, the grain is classified as first-class grain, and the production team is also rated as an advanced production team.
Xia Chan's efforts this year cannot be disclosed to the outside world, so she has not been rated as an advanced individual this year, but most people will never be rated as an advanced individual in their lifetime. She has been rated as an advanced individual once, which is already very good.
After handing over the public rations, the captain asked everyone to have a good rest for two days. After resting, they can distribute the rations and money, and then prepare for the winter. After all, the winter here is very cold, and it may get below zero at night. It's over 20 degrees, so I need to prepare firewood and winter food.
The radishes and cabbages in the private plot must be harvested and stored in the cellar, otherwise there will be no vegetables to eat in the winter.
Xia Chan was also tired and didn't want to go out. She prepared a package of things for Xiao Tiantian, including dried bamboo shoots, chestnuts, dried mushrooms, dried fungus and dried wild vegetables, each weighing twenty kilograms. She asked the brother and sister to take a bullock cart to the post office. Go send it.
Xia Chan wanted to rest at home for the first two days before the food distribution. After all, she was really tired during this period, but someone didn't let her have a good rest!
On the first day of rest, Yuan Bingchao's letter arrived again, and it was Xia Qingshan who sent it to Xia Chan's home.
After Yuan Bingchao wrote to Xia Chan before and Xia Chan didn't reply, Yuan Bingchao wrote to Xia Chan every week, but every time he sent it to school on non-rest days, and during the time when he went to collect grain, it was still the same as before. This is also As a result, many people in the production team knew that someone had been sending letters to Xia Chan.
Xia Chan really didn't want Yuan Bingchao to disturb her peaceful life. After reading Yuan Bingchao's letter, she got up from the kang and started writing a reply to Yuan Bingchao.
There was only one sentence in the letter.
-
I don't like you, please don't continue to disturb my peaceful life.
The reason why she was so ruthless was because she was afraid that Yuan Bingchao would ask her what she disliked about him and that he could change it.
He was also afraid that Yuan Bingchao would feel good about himself and think that if Xia Chan didn't like him now, she would definitely like him in the future, so she told him categorically that she didn't like him and let him know that some things can't be changed by his efforts. , some things are destined to end from the beginning.
Xia Chan packed herself up, left a note for her brothers, and went to the brigade leader's house to borrow a tractor. She wanted to mail the letter first, and then go to the county black market to trade with the handsome uncle. The handsome uncle had good ones. There were a lot of things, so she had to put them all in her own hands.
She usually only trades with him once a quarter, but at this time everyone is busy finishing the autumn harvest and wants to buy some good things. At this time, as long as food is not produced, other things can be earned.
When Xia Chan came to the town, she first went to the post and telecommunications office and sent a reply to Yuan Bingchao. After that, she bought some collectible stamps and drove her tractor straight to the county seat. When she came to the forest where the transaction was taking place, Xia Chan took the tractor to the hotel. The suite is the largest room.
After that, I picked up my mobile phone and started to prepare the materials for this transaction. In fact, many things in the previous life were cheaper than in this era, so I could still make some money here.
Xia Chan bought a large, thick and warm cotton-padded jacket that cost fifty yuan a piece, an old-fashioned northern floral cotton-padded jacket that cost more than thirty yuan a piece, and a seven-pound winter quilt that cost sixty yuan a piece. Ordered one hundred items.
The total capital cost was 14,000 yuan, but each item could earn at least 10 yuan, which means that her minimum income today was 17,000 yuan. Xia Chan prepared all the things and put them within easy reach, then took the samples to the black market to find the middle-aged handsome man. Xia Chan did not ask him what his name was, she only knew that his surname was Zhong. Call him Uncle Zhong.
But I don’t know what Xia Chan’s name is specifically. It’s just a transaction, there’s no need to mix emotions.
"Little brother, why are you here today?" It was obvious that the day for the transaction had not come, so Uncle Zhong was a little strange.
"Of course it's because I have good stuff in my hands!" Xia Chan took out the three products to be released today from her backpack and placed them one by one in front of Uncle Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, these are from the southern garment factory. Something, please help Uncle Zhong.”
Uncle Zhong reached out and pinched the winter quilt. Although it was not pure white cotton, the material felt very soft and comfortable. He would not know now that this material was called lambswool and would be very popular in later generations.
Moreover, Xia Chan said that these things came from the south. Naturally, he did not have the time to go to the south to verify it. All he cared about was whether he could make money!
After Uncle Zhong saw the winter quilts, large cotton-padded jackets and floral cotton-padded jackets, he was very satisfied. Xia Chan was also satisfied with the price given. She originally thought she could earn up to ten yuan for each piece, but she didn't expect to earn twenty yuan.
It seemed that consumption in the county was greater than she thought.
Of course, it is also possible that Uncle Zhong will resell these things and transport them to the provincial capital, so that he can earn more.
"Uncle Zhong, see you at the same place in two hours. This time I want 14,000 yuan in cash, 5,000 yuan in old items, and 1,000 yuan in tickets." After Xia Chan finished speaking, she turned and left. .
I have already exchanged a lot of old things from Uncle Zhong in the previous two times. The old things in the back are not as good as the previous ones, so Xia Chan doesn't want so many. As for exchanging tickets, they are also for my brothers. This way the brothers can go into town and buy what they want.
Also let the brothers experience the joy of shopping.
After completing the transaction, Xia Chan put the money, tickets and old objects into the space. It seems that in the future, he will look for more valuable things in the 'Crossing Mall' that were more valuable in the 1970s and less valuable in later generations.
Xia Chan suddenly thought of the iron pot. An iron pot in this era seemed to cost eighteen yuan a piece, and it also required industrial coupons. Industrial coupons at this time were not easy to obtain. People who were working were only issued a few coupons a month. She thought I can’t even buy an iron pan.
So Xia Chan went directly to the 'Crossing Mall' to search. Unexpectedly, she actually found a flat-bottomed iron pot that is suitable for stoves and coal stoves. Many wealthy families in the city have already used gas stoves. So it is very suitable to use such an iron pot.
The most important thing is that this iron pot only costs 30 yuan. If you buy it at a discount, it only costs 25 yuan. Although the big iron pot is only 18 yuan, it requires a ticket. This flat iron pot does not require a ticket. There must be many people. She was willing to buy it, so Xia Chan directly placed an order for one hundred and one flat-bottomed iron pans and brought one out for her home. She could use this flat-bottomed iron pan for frying eggs and pancakes in the future.
