Rushing to buy rag heads
The wolf skin is sold and I need some money.
Finding a quieter alley, the two siblings, Han Xiaokang and Zhou Min, squatted down and began to settle accounts.
The last time he went into the mountains to kill wolves, Zhou Jian was just a sideshow, and there wasn't even a drop of blood on his hands.
But there is one rule when hunting in the mountains: when hunting on the plains, everyone who sees you will have a share.
So Zhou Jian only dared to ask for a small part of the money, saying that he had to follow the rules.
But Han Xiaokang disagreed.
It is true that the wolf was killed by himself.
But just killing the wolf obviously won't fetch a good price.
This is equivalent to a butcher who only knows how to kill pigs, but if he wants to sell the pork at several times its value, he needs to further process the pork.
There are a lot of blood stains on the wolf skin, and the wolf skin cannot be washed, otherwise it will lose hair.
In the end, Zhou Min used her toothbrush to clean up all the blood stains bit by bit.
more importantly,
Wolf skin itself has a strong fishy smell, but I don't know how to handle it.
This was Zhou Min's unique secret skill that she didn't know where she learned. She patiently and repeatedly brushed it with lemon juice, and finally got rid of the nauseating smell.
This caused the value of these two wolf skins to suddenly double.
Not to mention the contribution Zhou Min made today at Fatty Qian's place.
Therefore, even if I am short of money, I cannot lose my conscience to others.
As the old saying goes: A real man's eyes should be like wheels. The reason why he loses his virtue is mostly due to his excessive utilitarianism.
The three of them squatted there, pushing each other, not wanting to take advantage.
Fight over and over in the end.
Han Xiaokang deducted the 1 yuan of vegetable money advanced by Zhou Min from the 72 yuan for selling the wolf skin.
There are 71 yuan left, Han Xiaokang takes 36 yuan, and Zhou Jian takes 35 yuan.
Wait until the money is distributed.
Han Xiaokang still had to go shopping, so he was ready to part ways with Zhou Jian and his brother.
Unexpectedly,
Zhou Min asked her brother to go to the oil shop to buy oil, while she followed Han Xiaokang, saying that it was difficult for her to make it to the market throughout the year.
Now I want to go shopping, but I'm a little scared to go alone.
Han Xiaokang looked at Zhou Min and thought that with your shrewdness, unless the other party reveals that he is a poor farmhand from his ancestors, he will use his status to suppress others.
Besides, who else dares to provoke you?
but,
It is not a burden to have such a girl with rich social experience, good brain, and not bad character following behind.
With Zhou Min,
Han Xiaokang was going to pull some cloth for his wife to make her new clothes.
I'm very lucky today.
It seems that at the general store of the supply and marketing cooperative, there is a batch of rags being processed.
This kind of cloth is either defective, or the pattern and color are very mixed, or this kind of woolen cloth has only 2 feet left, and the kind of combed cotton only has 0.8 feet.
This makes it difficult for customers to handle when they buy it back, and they cannot make it into a decent piece of clothing.
But the advantage is: no tickets are required.
The members of the production team bought it back to get a vest or panties for their wives.
You can even make a color-blocked top for your child.
Precisely because cloth tickets are expensive and the opportunity to deal with rags is rare, there are many people gathered in front of the textile counter.
There are three floors inside and three floors outside, and it is so crowded that there is no way to get through.
Han Xiaokang couldn't help frowning when he saw this posture: So many people?
And it's still mainly young wives and older girls.
How can you squeeze in?
If you squeeze in by force, what should you do if there is a big girl whose belly has been enlarged by others and is looking for a successor?
But don't squeeze in. How long will it take until they finish rummaging around?
And in my heart, I actually want to buy some rags.
Although I have some cloth money, it is only enough to make one outfit for my mother.
If you can buy some rags, that would be great too.
I only have one pair of pants.
If you wash it before going to bed, not only will you have time to sleep, but you may not be able to do it the next day.
several times,
Han Xiaokang relied entirely on the true Yang fire in his body to dry his underwear in his crotch alive.
Speaking of which, it’s all tears
"What, Xiaokang, do you want to buy a rag head?"
Zhou Min asked in a low voice, "Is there any way you can squeeze in? Don't get me wrong. Even if you don't buy rags and just pull the cloth, you still have to squeeze in."
I heard Zhou Min ask.
Han Xiaokang couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself: He had a bad idea and could successfully evacuate the dense crowd.
But that method,
It's a bit like a lazy woman's crotch. It's quite smelly.
As a big old man, I really can't do it.
“There’s a load of affordable Ding Ding candies outside for processing!”
Zhou Min suppressed his voice and yelled, "Everyone, hurry up and grab it. If it's too late, it will be gone!"
After shouting,
She didn't forget to look around, pretending to be looking for the source of the sound.
His face was full of eagerness.
Rumble——
Suddenly there was chaos in the store.
Needless to say, most of the people who came over to snatch rags of cloth were farmers.
Compared with grabbing rags, it is of course more important to be able to grab cheap tin candies!
You must know that during this period, all types of sugar are very precious.
If it's white sugar or brown sugar, it's a strategic material.
When visiting relatives and friends to give gifts, if anyone dares to carry half a catty, or even three taels of brown sugar and white sugar, it will definitely be a very honorable thing.
The seats can also be seated in a better position
As a member of the production team, it is difficult to see candy coupons distributed by superiors throughout the year.
Even if the production team occasionally gives out some candy coupons, it is not their turn to buy the good candies at the supply and marketing cooperative's stores.
Those good candies,
Either it was digested internally by the non-staple food stores of the supply and marketing cooperatives, or the well-informed residents in towns and villages queued up early to buy it.
Therefore, the members of these production teams do not expect to be able to buy brown sugar or white sugar, but if they can settle for the next best thing, it would be great to grab some sesame candy [Dingding candy].
Wait until the crowd disperses.
Han Xiaokang first bought some rags, and then he started to buy whole pieces of cloth in a leisurely manner.
At this time, the women who discovered that they had been deceived returned to the store one by one, cursing.
One woman was very angry and said that she would find the person who yelled and tear her mouth out.
There are also girls who secretly clenched their fists and were sulking there.
