Chapter 48 The Secret of the Dumb

Today Luo Xuan went to the candy and pastry counter and bought half a catty of candies in total.

This time, Fatty Gu only transferred to himself two candy tickets [to buy two ounces of ordinary hard candies with the ticket].

Since the market value of the candy tickets was opaque, Fatty Gu took Luo Xuan 2 yuan for half a catty of candy tickets.

Calculating this way, 1 pound of candy tickets actually cost 4 yuan!

The hard candies from the supply and marketing cooperative only cost 1 yuan per kilogram.

It is said that in this era, the value of money and tickets are basically equal.

But because candy coupons are quite special, Luo Xuan couldn't figure out whether he paid too much for these two candy coupons?

Half a pound of candy corn is 50 pieces, and together with the 2 yuan for buying candy coupons, buying 50 pieces of candy this time cost Luo Xuan a full 2 ​​yuan and 50 cents.

After calculating this, a small candy corn is actually worth 5 cents!

To know.

For many poor people, one work point in the production team is only worth this price. It really made Luo Xuan Rou hurt for a long time!

So careless.

When he exchanged a piece of candy for a pound of earthworms, Luo Xuan thought that the deal was a good deal for him.

Now it seems that I am losing blood!

It's just that the words have been released, and Luo Xuan doesn't want to change his original bid.

A tree stands for faith.

Just think of it as buying a lesson with your money!

And based on Luo Xuan’s estimation: using 5 kilograms of earthworms, or even 6 kilograms, the eel should be able to grow 1 kilogram of meat, right?

As for the eel weighing 1 kilogram, if Luo Xuan sells it in the market, he will not sell it by weight.

Luo Xuan will definitely sell it by the piece, and one piece can be sold for 5 to 6 cents.

Calculating it like this, I won’t lose at all.

You should know that when raising pigs in later generations, 3 jins and 3 taels of feed can generally make the pigs grow 1 jin of meat.

Luo Xuan didn’t believe it:

6 pounds of high-protein earthworms, coupled with spring water in a space, and the magical blessing of space, can't the eel grow 1 pound of meat?

Luoxuan's demand for earthworms is now increasing.

Because in the past few days, Luo Xuan is also planning to purchase some turtles and keep them in the space.

Small turtles in this era are worthless at all.

When you meet someone you have a good relationship with, you can just ask others for it, and you can get it without spending a penny.

Many children in rural areas even use it as a toy.

They treat soft-shell turtles like little turtles, tie them up with ropes, and go to the production team to play "tortoises" when they have nothing to do.

Luo Xuan is planning to purchase some of these small turtles and raise them in the space.

As a result, I have a huge demand for earthworms, and of the 50 candies I bought this time, I have to leave some for Xiaocao, and I have to take a few of them myself.

After all, these 50 candies are really not enough.

Buy good candy.

Luo Xuan was carrying a paper bag, preparing to go shopping elsewhere.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, Luo Xuan suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure...

Dumb!

I saw the mute in the non-staple food store, on the counter in the back. He had just bought a bag of things and was turning around to leave.

Luo Xuan waited for him to go away, then quickly walked to the counter selling "seasoned wild pickled products" and asked the salesperson: "Comrade salesperson, what did the customer just buy?"

At this time, everyone's concept of privacy was very low. When the salesperson saw Luo Xuan, he still remembered the last time the young man in front of him criticized Deputy Team Leader Zhao.

So the salesperson pointed to a bunch of bags placed in front of the counter and said, "Here, this is what he bought, sweet potato starch."

Luo Xuan looked along her fingers and saw something inside an open cloth bag that was white with yellowish color and slightly lumpy.

There is a small bamboo stick in the pocket, with a piece of cardboard written on it: Grade 2 sweet potato starch, 1 jiao and 5 cents per catty.

Last time I was in the hands of a mute, I bought sweet potato vermicelli for 20.3 cents a pound.

One pound of sweet potato starch, add a little alum, and vermicelli to allow a moisture content of 5% to 10%.

Alum is added to the vermicelli, and you can even add a little bit of worthless talcum powder, plus there is still a little bit of moisture in the vermicelli...

If you calculate it this way.

If Dumb makes 1 catty of vermicelli and sells it, he will make a profit of at least nearly 1 cent!

As for firewood and labor, these can be ignored. These two items are the least valuable in the production team.

Even if he is a mute and only makes 50 kilograms of vermicelli at a time, it only takes half a day to make it. The next step of drying the vermicelli does not cost him any effort.

Now Luo Xuan finally understood the reason why Mute was unwilling to work in the production team.

The production team earns only 5-9 cents for a day's work.

Since the mute can make money by relying on castration skills, thinning branches of fruit trees, and selling vermicelli, then only a ghost would be willing to work!

(Production teams are different. Some production teams have "economic forests", and some production teams also have "purchasing" tasks. Moreover, the fertility of the land of each production team is different, and the irrigation conditions are also different, so the value of each production team's work points is different.

no the same.)

If the mute didn't want to be too obvious, he wouldn't dare to blatantly become a "released member".

According to Luo Xuan's estimation: He didn't even get a job!

Now I understand why the mute is unwilling to work, but this is not important to Luo Xuan.

It’s important to understand the market situation of this starch.

So Luo Xuan asked the salesperson again: "To buy sweet potato starch, do I need coarse grain stamps or fine grain stamps?"

Because the starch is made from sweet potatoes, no one will eat it as food.

So Luo Xuanzhen still doesn’t understand: Is starch considered a coarse grain or a refined grain?

When the salesperson heard this, he replied with a surprised look on his face: "You don't need food stamps to buy starch. Didn't your adults tell you?"

Luo Xuan scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "No, my adults have never said anything about this. Can I buy this limited edition?"

The salesperson shook his head, "They are all seasonings used in cooking. Apart from restaurants, how much starch can be used at home? Buy this in unlimited quantities. The comrade just bought more, that's because of him, probably

A commune member who came out of the mountains. He may have brought it back with relatives and neighbors in the brigade."

The mute cannot speak.

When he buys things, he just makes babbling gestures.

So the salesperson figured out for him why the mute bought so much starch.

People, sometimes they are too smart, but they get further and further away from the truth...

Luo Xuan suddenly understood, and then apologized to the salesperson: "I'm sorry, I didn't bring enough money today. I'll buy some next time."

Whether the customer buys or not, the salesperson's salary is the same. She will not get a penny more or lose a penny.

So the salesperson nodded, smiled at Luo Xuan, and did not answer Luo Xuan's words.

Out of the non-staple food store.

Luo Roan turned around and went to the "Supply and Marketing Cooperative Daily Miscellaneous Store" to check out the price of the large pottery jar.

In my own space, I will raise eels and turtles in the future.

Now I only have a small stone water tank, which cannot hold these things.

The soft-shelled turtle has a very ferocious and violent temperament. At night when the eels don't swim much, Luo Xuan is worried that the smaller eels will become the soft-shelled turtle's food.

Luo Xuan didn't want to fatten the soft-shelled turtles but lose the eels. In the end, all his work would be in vain.

And if you want to breed them separately, you have to buy another large tank.
