Chapter 24 A big purchase
Luo Xuan asked Fatty Gu about the meat tickets, and truthfully told him the reason why he needed the meat tickets.
When Fatty Gu heard this, Luo Xuan said he wanted to go back and treat someone to dinner.
He thought of a rural child whose neighbors gave up their time to earn work points and came to help build a house for Luo Xuan.
Inviting others to a meal is also a reasonable thing.
But if you invite someone to dinner and there is no meat or fish in the dish, it seems that the host is very insincere.
Fatty Gu pondered for a moment, then raised his head and asked Luo Xuan: "You want 8 pounds of meat tickets. I'm afraid that you are greedy for meat and will lose your head! Don't talk nonsense to me. Honestly, how much meat is appropriate for a meal?"
”
Fatty Gu did not refuse, but asked Luo Xuan how many meat tickets he needed, which shows that he really has great powers!
It seems that this guy has all kinds of food stamps and meat stamps at his fingertips.
Even cloth tickets and candy tickets, according to Luo Xuan's estimation, Fatty Gu... must have these tickets in his hand!
But my relationship with Fatty Gu is shallow, and it is far from enough to talk about getting these certificates from him.
"Boss, if your meat tickets are piling up, please take more care of me, a rural kid."
While flattering, Luo Xuan said with a smile: "I fish for eels in the scorching sun every day just to have a bite of meat? 7 pounds of meat ticket, leader, what do you think?"
"Not that much! I'm not Ma Chunmei from the food station. I'll give you one ticket, and I'll get another ticket."
Fatty Gu also grinned, "Stop talking nonsense with me, 3...forget it, I'll give you 4 pounds."
Speaking.
Fatty Gu looked around and saw that no one was walking around on the street, so he put down the basin in his arms and reached out to dig something in his pocket.
That’s right!
It's just "picking" things out from the waistband!
Fatty Gu promised to give him 4 kilograms of meat coupons. Luo Xuan couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this: It seems that the superb sales techniques of later generations are still very effective when used to deal with the small person in charge of a small place in this period!
As for whether I can cope with those more senior leaders in the future, I can only tell at that time.
Just now, I opened my mouth like a lion at the beginning, and when I opened my mouth, I saw 8 pounds of meat coupons.
But in Luo Xuan's heart, he just wanted to get 2 or 3 pounds of meat coupons, and he was already very satisfied!
If it was just now.
If he only asked for 1 pound of meat tickets, Fatty Gu would definitely give it to him.
But in his heart, he despised Luo Xuan because of this: The little rabbit opened his mouth just to ask for a carrot.
For such a harmless little character, who can still have respect for him?
Fatty Gu twisted his body and took out a stack of various bills as big as his thumb.
Fearing that Luo Xuan would see clearly his family background, Fatty Gu simply turned around, turned his back to Luo Xuan, and started counting the bills with saliva on his face.
Bills from this period are actually more valuable than money.
When I'm in a hurry, I just take out some kind of bill and I can use it as money wherever I go.
For a pound of meat coupons, the price that Fatty Gu transferred to Luo Xuan was calculated to be 5 cents per pound.
At the food station, hind leg meat sells for 50.2 cents per pound, and pork belly costs 50.8 cents per pound.
Money and tickets are of equal value most of the time. The price Fatty Gu gave Luo Xuan is actually very fair.
Luo Xuan took out 2 yuan and handed it to him, then thanked Fatty Gu, then turned around and went to the supply and marketing cooperative's "investment store" to buy some seeds and the like.
You don’t need food stamps to buy seeds.
Because seeds are expensive, rice seeds are worth 1 to 4.
That is, 1 jin of rice seeds is equivalent to the price of 4 jins of rice.
No one would be stupid enough to buy seeds and use them as food.
When I entered the Shengzi store, the male salesperson standing behind the counter saw Luo Xuan walking in. He thought he was an adult from his family, instructing his children to buy vegetables and the like.
So the male salesperson asked Luo Xuan, "What seeds do you want to buy?"
During this period, there are actually not many vegetables that are easy to sow.
Even if farmers want to buy, they will just buy some fast-growing water leaf vegetables such as vines and celery.
"Do you have any rice seeds or corn seeds?"
Luo Xuan asked him, "There are also peppers, Chinese cabbage, carrots, and white radish seeds. I want to buy some of them."
The salesperson was startled when he heard this: Are there any private persons coming to buy rice seeds?
In rural areas, everyone's land is used to invest in cooperatives.
In the private plots of commune members, some people grow yellow corn, white corn and other staple foods.
But the rice varieties are different.
Rice seeds usually come from each production team. When the spring season comes, people are sent to the production store to collect the rice seeds that the entire production team needs for that year at one time.
The salesperson really doesn’t understand. What kind of rice seeds does this kid want to buy?
Besides, now is not the season for sowing rice!
"Rice seeds are available."
The salesperson stared at Luo Xuan and asked, "Your Majesty, do you really want you to buy rice seeds?"
Luo Xuan nodded.
The salesperson muttered: "What a weird thing! How many pounds do you want?"
Luo Xuan replied: "Buy a pound first."
The salesperson scratched his head, turned back to the tall container behind him, and went to look for rice seeds in the small warehouse.
Although it is not the season for sowing rice, there is still a little backlog of inventory in the retail stores.
The salesperson is eager to get rid of it!
Rice Seed is a supply and marketing cooperative in Hongxing Township and will make a budget in advance every year.
Evaluate how many acres of rice fields there are in total for all production brigades in Hongxing Township and how many kilograms of rice seeds are needed.
Then the township supply and marketing cooperative will report it to the purchasing department of the county supply and marketing cooperative.
The county supply and marketing cooperative summarizes the total demand of all townships, and then reports the rice seed production tasks to the county Agriculture Bureau and Materials Bureau.
These higher-level departments will assign production tasks to the production teams responsible for cultivating rice seeds.
The yield of rice seeds is very low.
An acre of normal medium-sized rice field can harvest more than 300 kilograms of rice, but if you plant rice seeds, the yield will only be about 100 kilograms.
It sounds like the yield of rice seeds is 1/3 of that of normal rice. It seems that the effect of professionally planting rice seeds is very high.
Actually it’s not.
Cultivating rice seeds is very labor-intensive, requiring members to constantly weed and pollinate the seedlings.
In addition, there are labor costs, transportation, and storage losses of supply and marketing cooperatives at all levels.
Therefore, the selling price of rice seeds will eventually reach 4 times that of normal rice.
A pound of rice seeds is sold by the supply and marketing cooperative for 60.3 cents, while the price of grain is generally 10.75 cents.
But rice with husk cannot be sold so expensively.
Therefore, the price of rice seeds on the raw material store is 60.3 per catty. This price is also a price carefully calculated by the supply and marketing cooperative, and it is not expensive.
However, no matter how accurate the supply and marketing cooperative's predictions are, they can only prepare more rice seeds, not less. Therefore, it is very normal for there to be a little backlog of rice seeds every year.
Buy good rice seeds.
Luo Xuan bought some large peppers, Chaotian peppers, and Chinese cabbage and carrot seeds. These seeds cost Luo Xuan another 2 yuan.
After buying the seeds, Luo Zhuan walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative's "investment store".
Luo Xuan walked through the street where no one was wandering, and in the alley of the middle school across the road, he entered the space and placed all the seeds.
Then Luo Xuan went to the "Japanese Miscellaneous Store".
At the daily miscellaneous store of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, a small iron pot sells for 7.3 yuan.
After thinking about it, Luo Xuan was still reluctant to spend so much money to buy an iron pot.
Luo Xuan settled for the next best thing and spent 1 yuan to buy two coarse casseroles.
This kind of casserole has rough workmanship and poor materials. It is of similar quality to the tiles on the roof, but it is thicker than the tiles.
Luo Xuan plans to put a casserole in his "new home", and then put another one in the space.
After buying a casserole, a kitchen knife, a few coarse porcelain bowls, and iron spoons, the cooking tools will be enough.
Luo Xuan always tries to buy double portions of whatever kitchen utensils he buys.
In this way.
You can just change places and get something good to eat, which is more convenient for you and avoids having to move kitchen utensils around.
In the future, if you are guaranteed to eat by yourself, you will be able to nourish your body and make it stronger as soon as possible.
