These few people were very happy to be left behind. Although they were left behind by market management, and although the prices could not be raised, it was a good thing if the things could be sold.
Tian Jing first checked the food. One portion was five or six kilograms of millet, one portion was about ten kilograms of black flour, one portion was fifteen or six kilograms of cornmeal, five or six kilograms of corn residue, and one portion was broken rice.
There are quite a few gravels.
Tian Jing frowned. There were too many gravels and it was difficult to choose! The last portion was seven or eight pounds of reddish-brown sorghum noodles. It was said that sorghum noodles were not very tasty.
Seeing Tian Jing frowning, Xiaohu asked cautiously, "Xiaotian, are you not satisfied?"
"Yes." Tian Jing nodded disappointedly, "There is too little food and it is not very satisfactory."
She wanted to buy a lot so she wouldn't have to go out, and she also wanted to take good care of her body.
Xiaohu thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Well, how about I get you twenty kilograms of white flour and thirty kilograms of rice?"
"Okay, okay."
Tian Jing nodded happily, stood on tiptoes and patted Xiaohu on the shoulder, "Comrade Xiaohu, you have a bright future."
Xiaohu was patted on the shoulder and praised by such a girl. Others looked funny, but he felt the excitement in his heart.
The expert praised him and said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask someone to bring it to you right now."
"Okay, let's go."
The conversation between the two people made the sellers dumbfounded. The girl's clothes were not much better than theirs. The shoes on her feet had already exposed her toes, but she treated the market manager as her little brother. Could it be that she had something to do with her family?
?
Xiaohu went to murmur a few words with the guard and then came back.
Tian Jing was looking at the fabric and soles.
The soles are good and the sizes are quite complete. I chose two pairs of soles for everyone in my family.
But most of those fabrics are one or two feet long, and a few are old coarse cloths woven by hand.
You can buy old coarse cloth in the village, there is no need to buy it all the way back.
If he didn't want any fabric, the fabric seller left first. Li Zhengguo just accompanied him and said nothing, leaving Tian Jing to make the decision.
Ouyang Lei came very quickly. After buying all the grain that Tian Jing was interested in, he waved his hand and asked those people to leave.
He handed the money and tickets to Tian Jing, "Xiaotian, count them."
Tian Jing counted carefully, and adding the money he had just spent to buy the grain, it was just right.
Among the bills, everything Li Zhengguo wants is there, including a lot of industrial coupons, as well as cotton coupons, kerosene coupons, oil coupons, water bottle coupons, soap coupons, soap coupons, and match coupons. In short, there are all the bills that are most needed in life.
Tian Jing nodded to Ouyang Lei, "That's right."
The food that Xiaohu asked for arrived. Li Zhengguo put it in the basket on his back, and Tian Jing counted the money to Xiaohu.
Xiaohu didn't want it, so Tian Jing glared, "I praised you just now, but you're not smart anymore. Can I take advantage of you in vain?"
Xiaohu scratched his head and said, "Then it's fifty cents a pound, no votes."
Fifty cents per catty? The whole grains she just bought cost fifty cents per catty.
Tian Jing glanced at him sideways, counted out forty dollars and handed it to him, "I'll just take advantage of it. I won't give you a ticket. It's only eighty cents per catty."
Then, regardless of what Xiaohu and Ouyang Lei thought, they began to sort out the money in their hands.
After paying Xiaohu's forty, the whole food just cost more than 20 yuan, plus eight pairs of shoe soles, which cost more than 9 yuan, and in the blink of an eye, nearly 80 yuan was spent.
If we didn't sell ginseng, the 150 yuan we brought would definitely not be enough.
After calculating what I wanted to buy, it still cost one or two hundred yuan, so I counted four hundred yuan, rolled up the money in the same clothes used to wrap ginseng, and handed it to Li Zhengguo.
Li Zhengguo took it and stuffed it into his arms. He had packed everything weighing eighty or ninety kilograms.
Tian Jing waved to Ouyang Lei and Xiaohu, "Let's go."
After the two of them left, Ouyang Lei patted Xiaohu on the shoulder, "Please take care of your mouth, otherwise, hum."
"Yes, boss." Xiaohu breathed a sigh of relief. The boss would not send him to a remote place or silence him.
Returning to the archway again, Li Zhengguo pulled Tian Jing away quickly, "Don't waste time, send these things back first, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative."
The two quickly returned to Uncle Song's yard.
Uncle Song was carrying a bowl to eat, and was surprised to see the two of them coming back, "So soon?"
"I have to make another trip, so I'll send him back first." Li Zhengguo explained, putting the things in the basket on his back into the basket on the wheelbarrow.
After tidying up, covering her with a thin quilt, she pushed the wheelbarrow to the shade at the base of the wall and left with Tian Jing.
Uncle Song shook his head with a smile. This guy Li is different after marrying a daughter-in-law. She knows how to buy things for the family.
Li Zhengguo first took Tian Jing to the state-owned hotel. It was dinner time, and only two of the four tables were occupied.
The blackboard next to the small window reads today's supply: shredded pork noodles for 15 cents, plain noodles for 8 cents, poached eggs for 8 cents, steamed buns for 3 cents, and egg drop soup for 5 cents.
Compared with the food on the black market, this price seems to be suitable for eating in a restaurant. How come there are not many people coming to eat?
Li Zhengguo pulled Tian Jing and motioned her to look at the waiter who had a dark face.
Tian Jing came back to her senses, "Three bowls of shredded pork noodles and poached eggs."
"Sixty-nine cents plus sixty-two food stamps." The waiter stretched out his hand.
Tian Jing took out a handful of money and tickets from her trouser pocket, counted them out, and handed them to her.
When the waiter saw that these two people could really come up with money and tickets, his attitude became much better, "Sit over there and wait. When you hear my call, come back and bring the noodles."
"Thank you, sister." Since the waiter's attitude was okay, Tian Jing didn't mind being cute and smiling.
The waiter's expression improved a lot, "You're welcome."
Li Zhengguo brought Tian Jing to the table and sat down, but his eyes were fixed on one of the two tables over there. When he saw the person eating the meal looking over again, he glared back fiercely, making the person lower his head in fear.
Keep eating your own noodles.
Tian Jing looked back and saw nothing. She turned around and asked Li Zhengguo, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's just that someone saw the money you just took out."
"Oh." Tian Jing responded lightly. It was indeed okay. He dared to beat him if he dared to come up.
Soon a voice came from the window, "The shredded pork noodles are ready."
Li Zhengguo held Tian Jing down and ran twice to bring back three bowls of noodles.
The bowl is big, the noodles are not pure white noodles, but they taste pretty good, probably because they are grown naturally.
Tian Jing felt full after eating one bowl. Li Zhengguo ate two bowls of noodles without changing his color. Tian Jing was worried that he was not full, "Are you full? Do you want another bowl?"
"When we are full, let's go shopping quickly."
Li Zhengguo took Tian Jing around to the courtyard behind the supply and marketing cooperative, where the warehouse and offices are located.
"Isn't the office already closed?" Tian Jing asked suspiciously.
Li Zhengguo mysteriously pulled her and continued walking inside. After passing a two-story office building and a tall warehouse, a row of low buildings was revealed.
Standing at the door of one of the rooms, Li Zhengguo raised his hand and knocked on the door.
