Luo Xuan was among the piles of old books at the collection station, rummaging through books while waiting for the male employee to kill the snake to extract its bile, peel the skin and remove the flesh.
Not long after.
Luo Xuan selected several famous foreign books, as well as several mimeographed books such as "The Notes of a Small Window", "An Examination of Celebrities in Ancient Bashu", "Conversations on Rivers and Lakes", and "Houhei Xue".
After thinking about it, Luo Xuan bought some old junior high school textbooks.
I also bought a lot of books on agricultural technology, pest control, car repair, mechanical principles and maintenance, and even "Postpartum Care of Sows".
Anyway, these books are all calculated based on scrap prices, which are surprisingly cheap!
Before liberation, many people who had all kinds of miscellaneous books at home wanted to draw a clear line from the past, or they sensed a crisis, and they always felt uneasy.
so,
They will sell out all the books at home, no matter whether they are new, old or good!
They treat these books as scrap and sell them to the collection stations.
There are many students in the county, or people who love reading, who will go to the collection station from time to time to buy these old books.
Luo Xuan took the selected books and weighed them on the scale of the supply and marketing cooperative. Finally, he bought a lot of good books at only 7 cents per catty.
The cadres and workers at the purchasing station have long been accustomed to taking the books out of the waste paper pile for takeout again.
They often add 1 penny for every jin of these old books, and then sell them to people who come here to buy books.
Although in today's public institutions, various rules and regulations are very strict and detailed.
But if these people really want to sell these books for takeout, it is actually very easy to do so.
It's just a matter of paying the bills.
For example: The store purchased a total of 50 kilograms of waste paper today.
If someone else bought 20 kilograms of used books, then the person in charge only needs to write down that only 30 kilograms of waste paper was purchased today when entering the account. That is enough.
Anyway, these books are sent from the collection station to the paper mill, where they are eventually pulped.
It is also a good thing to be able to sell all these books to others who love reading.
Why don't you all enjoy it?
After Luo Xuan picked out the books and paid for them, the employee who helped kill the python was also ready.
I saw him putting the python meat in a sack and preparing to take it home to eat.
As for the python skin, he nailed it to the extremely tall and heavy wooden door of the purchasing station, preparing to dry the skin in the shade.
None of the male and female employees at the purchasing station have ever seen such a big python!
At this time, everyone ran over to watch the fun.
The person in charge took out a measuring tape and measured the widest part of the snake's skin.
The purchase of snake skin at the buying station is actually not what Luo Xuan originally imagined: how much does one foot wide cost, and how much does a two-foot wide part cost?
It turns out that at the buying station, the price is calculated based on the size of the widest part of the snake skin, and then the entire snake skin is calculated based on the widest area.
have to say.
During this period, although the management concepts of these state-owned units were lacking, the cadres and workers inside were still very strict, fair and fair in their work.
Scamming and abduction do not exist in state-owned units.
The last piece of python skin, based on the high price of 1.5 feet wide, 3 yuan and 10 centimeters, was sold for a full 96 yuan and 50 cents!
Coupled with the 3 yuan from the snake gallbladder, Luo Xuan's pockets suddenly became full, and he instantly became a "hundred-yuan rich man".
Sell the python.
Luo Xuan asked again about the prices of Sichuan clams, gastrodia elata and scorpions.
It's just that the price of Sichuan clams is not high now. This thing is sold on the basis of two pieces, not by the pound.
One or two Sichuan clams can be sold for 3 yuan and 50 cents, and the Luo Xuan only weighs about half a catty, so it doesn't matter whether you sell it or not.
Luo Xuan planned to put away the scorpions and Sichuan clams first, and talk about it later.
The price of Gastrodia elata is quite good. Luo Xuan sold a piece of Gastrodia elata for 4 yuan and 70 cents.
With a large amount of money in face value of 10 yuan and 5 yuan in his pocket, Luo Xuan thought about it and said to the person in charge of the purchasing station: "Boss, please give me a certificate."
Luo Xuan deliberately did not ask the other party, "Can you issue a certificate for me?" Instead, he immediately said, "Can you issue a certificate for me?"
Two different statements often bring two different results.
Hearing what Luo Xuan said, the person in charge of the purchasing station couldn't help but be startled: "What kind of certificate are you issuing?"
"This is proof of what items I sold and how much money I earned in the unit I led you."
Luo Xuan's face looked like a little doormat, "Look at how young I am..."
The person in charge suddenly realized: Luo Xuan was still a young man, and suddenly he had a sum of money in his hand that was equivalent to a Category 1, Level 30 worker, and a full five months' salary.
Luo Xuan is too young and has so much money all at once. It is really necessary to explain the source of it.
Issuing this kind of certificate has no technical content and does not involve formal documents or principles.
So the person in charge happily gave the certificate to Luo Xuan.
After carefully collecting the certificates and money, Luo Xuan held a large pile of books in his hand. Under the envious and amazed eyes of everyone at the purchasing station, he turned around and left the purchasing station store.
There is a large ammonia pool two to three hundred meters away from the acquisition station.
Luo Xuan walked to the huge arched building of the ammonia pool, ducked into the space, and kept most of the money in the space.
I only had a few dozen yuan left with me, which was enough to buy things, eat, and take a ride in the past few days.
At this time, although social security is excellent, the hotel where I stayed did not look like a serious guest house at first glance.
So, it’s better to be careful.
Now that he has money, Luo Xuan plans to buy a set of clothes for Xiaocao and himself.
It's just that I only have the 5-foot-3 piece of cloth that I got when the family was separated, which is far from enough to make clothes for Xiaocao and myself.
However, Luo Xuan firmly believes that as long as his methods are flexible enough, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
First go to the place where cloth is sold to check the situation. As for whether you can buy cloth and how to buy cloth.
We can only talk about it then.
There is a supply and marketing cooperative department store in the county.
There are still several large stores left over from the past, but they are now "public-private joint ventures", but the quality of the goods sold there is no worse than that of department stores in supply and marketing cooperatives.
It's just that this kind of "public-private partnership" store focuses more on selling certain specific categories of goods, and the items sold there are not as complete as those sold in department stores.
Luo Xuan first went to a shop called [Jinxiu Dongsheng].
This shop specializes in high-quality cloth from all over the world. Before liberation, it even had its own silk reeling workshop and weaving factory.
Therefore, [Jinxiu Dongsheng] is quite famous in several neighboring counties.
Luo Xuan entered the store and saw that the large-scale store was sparsely populated with few customers shopping for fabrics.
Because whether they are members of the production team, urban residents, or cadres and workers, their coupons are distributed in fixed quotas by their units, neighborhood committees, or brigades.
They and the supply and marketing cooperative belong to the same 'superior'.
So most of the time, the cloth tickets they issue need to be purchased at designated unit stores.
Obviously, this "public-private partnership" Dongsheng store is not a "designated" example.
So it is expected that it has little business.
[According to the new wage standards promulgated in June 2056, there are 11 categories of areas, with a total of 30 levels. The lowest level 1 area, level 30 workers, has a basic salary of 20 yuan/month.]
