Luo Xuan gained dozens of dollars from this transaction with Fatty Gu.
More than 3 taels of eels, weighing a little over 7 pounds, were sold for 1.9 yuan.
The eel weighing more than half a catty weighed more than 4 catties and sold for 1.4 yuan.
The turtle is sold for 10 yuan.
Mushrooms were the big deal, selling for a full 28.6 yuan!
This is equivalent to the entire month’s salary income of those who earn the highest salary in Hongxing Township!
The angler fish was sold for 12 yuan, but Luo Xuan and Du Juan went to catch it in the mountains together, and Luo Xuan planned to give her some compensation.
The total of 43 yuan and 90 cents received today includes eels owed to others on credit, so the money must be reserved for others in advance.
Then I dug out the 15 yuan that I paid for Dai Hongmei, and there was also 1.6 yuan that I borrowed from someone else for cigarettes.
Luo Xuan spent another 4.5 yuan to buy starch...
After this calculation, I actually only have 17.6 yuan left.
After buying the starch, he found a deserted corner and put the starch into the space. Then Luo Xuan went to Xinhua Bookstore and bought a Chinese and mathematics textbook.
School is about to start soon.
Luo Xuan was not prepared to sit in the same classroom with those fifth-grade boys and do calculations like "How much water is in the pool, how much water is put in the water inlet every hour, and how much water is drained out of the drain every hour?"
Boring arithmetic problems.
And if you want to get rid of that dilemma, you have to pretend to be pretentious and preview the sixth grade courses in advance to prepare yourself for skipping a grade.
The teaching content during this period was very simple and the questions were very shallow.
Even if Luo Xuan doesn't read these textbooks, he can still skip a grade, but he still has to pretend a little bit.
It would be bad if he danced too happily and was arrested for studying.
The textbooks I bought this time were not expensive.
A Chinese language book and a math book cost only 2.9 cents in total.
After buying the textbooks, Luo Xuan knew that tomorrow was sister Xiaocao's birthday.
So I went to the comic book counter and bought some comic books with simpler content such as "Cao County Aunt and the Dry Food Bag", "Excellent Breeder", and "Outsmarting the Dagai Mountain".
Prepare to give to Xiaocao as a gift.
Although Xiaocao couldn't understand the words in the comic strips, she could look at the pictures and use her brain to guess the stories.
Luo Xuan believes that this subtle approach can also help open up Xiaocao's intelligence and inspire her intelligence.
There were also some comic books about various countries in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, such as "For a Just War", "Building a Magnesia Brick Furnace", but Luo Xuan did not buy them.
This kind of subject matter is so profound that even Xiaocao wouldn’t be able to understand it if she bought it.
In this era, Luo Xuan would not even touch the comic books such as Dream of Red Mansions and Water Margin published by the private company "Sanmin Books"!
This type of comic strip has exquisite illustrations and is a work that promotes traditional culture. However, Luo Xuan, who knew the future development direction, did not want to cause trouble for himself.
Xiaocao will only be 5 years old next year.
When Luo Xuan was ready to let her have nothing to do, it would be better to flip through comic strips, watch something interesting, and learn a few new words by the way, than if she played around every day.
Comic books are not expensive, the cheaper ones cost 8 or 9 cents, and the expensive ones only cost 20.3 cents.
Buy another building block toy for Xiaocao, and a frog toy that can jump when it is wound up. Luo Xuan's trip to Hongxing Township today will be a complete success.
This time I spent another 4 yuan to buy books and toys.
When the sun went down, Luo Xuan returned to his small courtyard.
Aunt Zhang and Third Sister-in-law had finished making vermicelli at this time. They had packed up early and went home.
Now in the yard.
Only Zhou Laosan was alone, sitting under the eaves, looking at the dripping vermicelli hanging on shelves all over the yard in a daze.
Luo Xuan asked him and found out that Boss Zhou and his second brother had gone home and were busy cooking.
"Then, Third Brother, go to your private plot and pick up a few chives. Let's eat vermicelli tonight."
After giving instructions to the third son of the Zhou family, Luo Xuan entered the kitchen and ducked into the space.
Dig out two tablespoons of lard from the stir-fried pork that you made before, which also contains a few pieces of stir-fried pork, and put it in a bowl.
When the third son of the Zhou family came back after pinching the green onions, Luo Xuan asked him to cook a large bowl of water starch for him and herself, and treat it as today's dinner.
Hearing about eating gouache and seeing such a big lump of lard in the bowl, the face of the third child of the Zhou family was so happy that it was almost brighter than the sunset hanging on the ceiling!
I saw him quickly sitting in front of the stove, skillfully lighting a fire, boiling water, and getting ready to start cooking vermicelli.
Luo Xuan, on the other hand, carried a hanging gouache, put it into the basket, and then walked to Dai Hongmei's house.
Dai Hongmei's agency store is opened in her home.
When Luo Xuan walked to the consignment store, Dai Hongmei was in the store with her mother, estimating how much of the "foreign oil" in the large pottery vat in the store had been sold, how much had evaporated, and whether it would make money in the end?
this period.
For any product provided by the supply and marketing cooperative to the consignment store, the one with the highest profit margin only has a profit margin of 13 points.
There are many things, even only 5 or 6 points of profit.
The purchase price and retail price of any commodity in the supply and marketing cooperative have extremely strict regulations, and no one can change the price without authorization.
Things like kerosene have low profits to begin with, and in rural areas where no one is willing to light a lamp, sales are also very small.
But it is a necessity for the members. According to the regulations of the supply and marketing cooperative, it is not okay for the agency stores not to sell it.
Since kerosene is more or less volatile, if the consignment store sells too slowly, it may not be able to sell a large tank of kerosene, and it will cost a few cents to buy it.
"Hello, Aunt Dai!"
When Luo Xuan entered the door, he greeted Dai Hongmei's mother, "Auntie, are you busy counting money? In the production team, you can get the same salary as the workers in the city. I'm really envious!"
"I envy a fire shovel!"
Aunt Dai is in the production team, and everyone calls her after her man's surname.
At this time, I saw her using wooden boards to cover the kerosene tank tightly.
Then he said angrily to Luo Xuan: "If anyone is envious of this debt collector's business, can I transfer it to him and let him do it?
Luo Xuan, you are still young, but you don’t know my suffering, auntie!
Just those who owe you 7 cents on credit, and that one owes you 1 and 2 cents on credit. He owes you two years, and that one owes you a year and a half. This bad debt alone can annoy you to death!"
Luo Xuan smiled.
Then he put the bamboo basket with gouache in his hand on the counter and said: "Auntie, don't be so blessed and don't know how blessed you are. Don't complain in front of me. I won't borrow money from you. Auntie, come and eat some gouache to make you feel better." .
Well...I made some gouache today, I'll bring some here for you, just don't take it too little, ma'am."
When Aunt Dai saw the basket of gouache, she immediately smiled and said: "Oh, our Luo Xuan is the most sensible person in the production team! I just heard this afternoon that you asked Aunt Zhang and the others to help make the noodles." .”
"I was just thinking about being shameless and asking my red plums to go to your place to see if I can share a few kilograms and come back to eat."
Aunt Dai smiled and said: "I didn't expect it, you just got it. How much does it cost? I'll get it for you."
Luo Xuan said with a smile: "There is no need to pay. I usually cause trouble for you, aunt. From now on, aunt, you can go to the warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperative and bring back some starch. I will come and buy some every month."
When Aunt Dai heard that these few kilograms of gouache were actually given to her by Luo Xuanbai, she smiled even more happily, "Okay, okay! I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to issue an invoice in two days, and then go to the warehouse to collect the starch." ..."
"mom!"
Dai Hongmei on the side reached out and pushed her mother away, "Go and cook the vermicelli. If you talk for a while, your saliva will be soaked in it!"
When Aunt Dai entered the back room, Luo Xuan took out 16.6 yuan and handed it to Dai Hongmei.
Of this money, 15 yuan was borrowed from Dai Hongmei privately.
There is also 1.6 yuan, which is the debt owed to the agency store for the carton of "Chunlei Brand" cigarettes I borrowed on credit last time.
This time Luo Xuan came here, in fact, to pay off his debt.
Another reason is that consignment stores can buy goods from supply and marketing cooperatives openly.
In this way, I unknowingly have one more channel for purchasing starch.
As for using the sweet potatoes in the space, make them into starch first and then into vermicelli?
The sweet potatoes outside the space have not yet reached the harvest season. If someone comes out to help get them, it will not be possible to explain the reasonable origin of the sweet potatoes.
If he had to do it by himself in space, Luo Xuan would find it too tiring.
Since you can still buy starch now, let’s save those sweet potatoes for later.
Therefore, Luo Xuan will not consider using the harvested sweet potatoes to make starch for the time being.
Luo Xuan has always wanted to get this consignment store, but now it seems that the time is not mature enough.
That will have to wait.
After more than a year, Dai Hongmei's agency store will definitely be in a difficult situation...
