Next to the comprehensive store of the supply and marketing cooperative, the production team built a large shed with ventilation on all sides.
This shed is supported by wooden pillars on all sides, with a huge green tile roof on top. This shed is a bit like a dyeing workshop in the old days, a shed used to dry the dyed cloth skins.
It's just that the Zhengxing 6 production team's shed is larger in scale.
To the outside world, people in the production team would say that this shed was specially built as a public place for members to gather, enjoy the shade, or hold meetings.
But in fact, the real purpose of this shed is to provide a place for members of the production team within the nearby processing area to conduct private transactions.
Just because the consignment store that Luo Xuan gave to Aunt Zhang was actually opened specifically to support the villagers.
This consignment store is completely different from the consignment points of other production brigades: other people's stores only sell products exclusively provided by the supply and marketing cooperative.
——After all, it is a consignment store. In other words, the goods from the supply and marketing cooperative are handed over to someone and let him sell them on his behalf.
Then based on the monthly turnover, the supply and marketing society will give this person a certain percentage of rebates as a reward for taking care of the agency store.
Moreover, sometimes the supply and marketing cooperative has the task of purchasing eggs, duck eggs, or even urine. The supply and marketing cooperative will also notify these sales agencies to help them purchase them.
But when Luo Xuan opened this consignment point, in addition to the normal "consignment sales and purchasing" business.
In fact, secretly, he is still helping local members sell vegetables and fruits, eggs, salted duck eggs, and even cold cakes and jelly.
Even if some members of the commune encounter difficulties and urgently need money to buy life-saving food, their families are really poor and cannot produce anything good to sell.
The agency store also allows them to take the porcelain vases, copper basins, and even a quilt, a cotton-padded jacket, etc. that were previously separated from the landlord's home and sell them to the agency store.
After these things are placed in Aunt Zhang's consignment store, if they meet members in need and they buy these things.
Then Aunt Zhang will keep none of the money sold and will hand it over to the owner of the goods.
But if there is something that cannot be sold, Aunt Zhang, under Luo Xuan's instruction, will also spend money to buy it.
When I look back, I will tell the owner of the goods that someone bought the goods.
In fact, this money was purely posted by Luo Xuan personally.
It is precisely because of the existence of this agency store that many urgent needs of the people nearby have been solved.
Especially during those three difficult years, there were many people around who relied on the existence of this agency store to get timely cash to buy life-saving food.
Even sometimes, when they came over with rotten earthen jars that they obviously couldn't sell, Aunt Zhang would still give them some cash, or just give them a small bag of grain.
Thus,
People who come to "sell" things have their dignity protected at the very least and their lives can be continued.
After a long time, everyone nearby knew: If you are in urgent need of money, just take something to the consignment store of Zhengxing Team 6 and ask Aunt Zhang to sell it on your behalf.
You can definitely get cash back.
But now the most difficult period has long passed, and people will no longer starve to death, so there is no need for Aunt Zhang to continue this kind of operation.
After all, helping the urgent does not help the poor.
During that difficult period, if Aunt Zhang had not provided food to help them, many people might not have been able to survive.
Now, the difficult period has passed, and Aunt Zhang's agency store has become a regular store of the supply and marketing cooperative.
And Aunt Zhang herself is now an on-the-job management cadre of the Hongxing Commune Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
So the previous approach obviously no longer works.
After all, the supply and marketing cooperative of Hongxing Commune used to turn a blind eye to such small tricks by consignment stores.
Those were the management cadres of the supply and marketing cooperative. Considering that the situation at that time was indeed critical, if the consignment stores of the Revitalization Brigade were not allowed to carry out such outrageous operations, it would not only kill people, but also probably arouse public outrage.
Another point is: none of the cadres and workers of the supply and marketing cooperative are willing to go to the Zhengxing Brigade Agency Store to check the accounts and check their daily operations.
They were mainly worried about Luo Xuan.
Because on the surface Aunt Zhang is in charge of this agency store, but in fact no one knows that this thing actually belongs to Luo Xuan's industry.
So who would go to the Zhengxing Brigade to get a fat beating without any reason?
But things are different now.
The purchasing power of the members of the Zhengxing Brigade, who have escaped the pain of hunger, is increasing significantly.
This means that the former consignment store of Aunt Zhang can no longer meet the daily needs of the masses.
Therefore, the Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative decided to simply open a comprehensive store on the territory of the Zhengxing Brigade with all formal employees of the supply and marketing cooperative responsible for daily management and operation.
In order to take care of Aunt Zhang's feelings, the supply and marketing cooperative also wanted to maintain a good relationship with Luo Xuan.
In the end, Aunt Zhang transformed from an ordinary member of the production team to an iron rice bowl from the government. From then on, Aunt Zhang's life, old age, illness and death were considered to be guaranteed.
And when Aunt Zhang retires in the future, her children can still take over the job.
It’s great to hold on to the iron rice bowl from generation to generation and continue to serve the broad masses of the people!
However, since Aunt Zhang was incorporated by the supply and marketing cooperative, she can no longer participate in the business of "selling" items on behalf of the members.
But this does not mean that members have no need for production.
No matter how good their lives are, after all, there is still a planned economy, so some people's families will inevitably have extra food needs, or they may want to buy some eggs to give away.
As for the production team in the distant first phase, their economic conditions are not as good as those of the members of the Zhengxing Brigade.
Sometimes, in order to raise some tuition for their children, or to buy some medicine for the elderly, those farmers who are short on money still need to get something to sell.
The large shed located next to the comprehensive store officially provides them with a free trading location.
Farmers from all over the surrounding villages came to sell their goods, and Zhengxing Production Operations would not charge them any fees.
Not even a little bit of sanitation fees, stall management fees, etc.
They all come from poor families.
Among the management cadres of Zhengxing Production Team, who doesn’t know how difficult it is to be a farmer?
In this case, what's the point of collecting other people's 20 cents sanitation fee and 20 cents stall management fee?
Egrets cut the muscles on their legs and scrape the fat from flies' bellies too often. If they give birth to a son, they won't have tick eyes!
Wait until Luoxuanxiudada comes to the trading market.
At this time, the market was bustling with people. There were sellers of broad beans, peas, lentils and soybeans, eggs, duck eggs and goose eggs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, wild mushrooms, wild fungus, peaches and plums.
However, in this kind of trading market, only grain is often the most common commodity and is also the commodity with the largest trading volume.
The one who inquires about prices, the one who hangs out, the one who yells at others for catching their clothes in their backpacks.
The young boy, with his furtive eyes, glanced at the older girl. He called his friends, three or five of his best friends, and came in groups to buy the older girl a sugar painting.
There were also people smoking dry cigarettes, choking and making the little daughter-in-law next to her frown.
Busy and noisy, but quite lively!
"Hey, old man, how do you sell this rice?"
Ye Erniang's usual sharp voice sounded in the grain trading area, "What are you looking at me for? I'm asking you the price. Old man, are you deaf?"
When you come here to buy something, it's certainly a good thing if someone asks about the price.
But the old man squatting on the ground with a white towel wrapped around his head made the wrinkles on his face look even more miserable.
"3, 3 cents per pound, what do you think?"
The old man's face showed a completely helpless expression of displeasure, but he didn't dare to offend anyone, "Ye Erniang, do you think this price is appropriate?"
"Look at what kind of rice you have. You haven't even sieved out the dregs in it. Once you eat it, your mouth is full of dirt."
Ye Erniang looked disgusted, then she straightened up and continued walking to the next house selling rice, "Is this old rice like yours? There are so many stones in it, why did you even charge me such a high price? I don't know you are such a gray rice."
Old man, where do you get the confidence?"
When the old man selling rice saw Ye Erniang walking away, his face became obviously relieved.
Luo Xuan, who was standing aside, saw clearly: Ye Erniang was actually wearing spring and autumn long-sleeved clothes in such hot weather.
And her cuffs were deliberately played up in a circle.
So just now Ye Erniang reached into the other person's sack and pretended to drill it down, ready to see if the other person had "underside".
When she retracted her hand, Ye Erniang actually had some rice from other people inside her rolled-up cuffs.
The quantity of this little rice is not much, I estimate it is only about 2 or 3 taels.
When Ye Erniang retracted her hand from the sack, she would insert it into her pocket and cover the opening of her pocket with her other hand.
When her right hand was retracted, the bit of rice that was originally hidden in her rolled-up cuff was put into her coat pocket by Ye Erniang without anyone noticing.
Ye Erniang's method of taking advantage of others is actually to steal other people's rice with her sleeves rolled up while pretending to ask about the price.
Although she didn't steal much each time, only about 2 or 3 taels.
But the problem is, there must be at least 20 people selling rice in the trading market, if not 30!
Everyone was rubbed off by her.
When Ye Erniang walked around the entire trading market, the rice hidden in her pocket was at least more than 2 kilograms!
It’s almost enough for Ye Erniang and Uncle Zhou to eat deliciously all day long.
Luo Xuan, who had watched the entire process, remained calm and continued to follow Ye Erniang.
I saw her placing the rice, then walked to the next man selling soybeans, and asked him arrogantly, "Hey, how do you sell this rice?"
The man selling soybeans seemed to have been prepared for it. He replied bluntly, "Comrade, I'm really sorry. My soybeans have already been sold."
"sold?"
The other party has Zhang Liangji, and Ye Erniang also has a ladder, "How much does it cost to sell it per pound? Oh, I think the quality of your soybeans on the top is pretty good, but I don't know if you have installed the bottom?"
The man replied, "I think you, a lesbian, are very strange. My bag of soybeans is filled with good goods at the top and poor goods at the bottom. The buyer didn't say anything. Why don't you come and interfere with me?"
Where’s the stick?”
"Hmph, the face comes from the heart. When I saw that comrade you are not very honest, you lied to people on the territory of our Zhengxing brigade. Wouldn't that affect the image of our production team?"
Ye Erniang said plausibly, "I don't care if you sell it or not! As long as it happens on the territory of our Zhengxing production team, I have the obligation to stand up and check for the buyer!"
While talking,
Ye Erniang rolled up her sleeves and reached into the sack, "You don't want to ask about it!
My men and I are well-known for our integrity in the entire Zhengxing Brigade! We don’t want to see those deceptions and other dirty things!"
The man selling soybeans twitched his cheek a few times.
I wanted to reach out and stop Ye Erniang, but in the end I still didn't dare.
Just because of this Ye Erniang just now, she kept saying "our Zhengxing production team's territory" and "my man".
Ye Erniang's words are actually a subconscious warning to the other party: Don't forget whose territory this is on?
And you also need to figure out who my man is!
That was the famous Uncle Zhou, a bachelor who had been passed down from generation to generation for three generations, a real poor man who had been eating one meal for generations and never finished a meal.
There is also a "Zhengxing Production Team 6 Breeder" hanging on Uncle Zhou's body. Although it is from the past, Uncle Zhou has also been a breeder after all, right?
Even now, Uncle Zhou has been kicked out of the team by captain Peng Zhikun.
But Uncle Zhou still has the title of "Leader of the Poor Peasants Association" hanging on his head!
This title is so powerful that even Captain Peng Zhikun can’t get rid of it.
——There is no way, who can prevent the entire Zhengxing brigade from finding anyone who is poorer than Uncle Zhou?
Therefore, Uncle Zhou, who loves to drink heavily, ignores his first meal and the next, and loves to cheat and cheat, is still sitting firmly on the throne of "leader of the poor peasant team", and no one can compare with him.
The man's originally calm expression had now turned into a bitter gourd.
Watching Ye Erniang put her hand into the soybeans, when she retracted her hand, her sleeves had become bulging.
After Ye Erniang basically destroyed all the stalls selling food, she was still not satisfied and then went to the area selling chickens, ducks and geese.
Ye Erniang's weird behavior confused Luo Xuan who was following her: What is she going to do?
Talking about the previous stalls selling rice, soybeans, and sesame seeds, Ye Erniang could use the method of "hiding gold in her sleeves" to steal something from others.
But now this place is obviously a place where chickens, ducks and geese are sold, how can she still openly steal other people's poultry in public?
