Wen Xinlan graciously grabbed a few small beans and handed them to him, "Uncle!"
Try it first, and buy it if it's delicious!
”The uncle took the ripe beans in Wen Xinlan's hand, held them softly in his hand, he gently tore off a little skin, put it to his mouth and sucked it, and sucked the red juice sweeter than honey, from the corner of his mouth to his heart.The uncle thought happily in his heart, I was lucky today, I met such a good quality bean, and I bought it home to accumulate oil to eat, which is much more cost-effective than lard.He was happy in his heart, but his face was silent, and he said, "Little girl, tell me a price!"
Wen Xinlan knew that he had the heart to buy it, "Uncle, if you buy all the small beans in your back, you can sell them for two cents and one pound by catty, and you can exchange food stamps, meat stamps, and cloth stamps." ”"It's too expensive, I bought it all for a dime and a half."
Wen Xinlan knew that in this era, pigs were raised collectively, and when they were fattened, they had to be sent to the commune food station, collected and sold, and meat tickets were required to buy meat, and money could not buy them.Especially the plate oil that can be squeezed for oil, fatty meat, and meat tickets have to queue up early in the morning, and if you go late, it will be gone."
Uncle, let's do it, I don't have a scale here, this little bean on my back is estimated to be about twenty-five catties, and the skin on my back is less than three catties, even if I count you twenty catties, twenty catties multiplied by one cent eight equals three yuan six, I will charge you three yuan five, do you think it is acceptable?"
Wen Xinlan stretched out her fingers and counted them one by one.The uncle tried the weight with his hand, and he felt that the weight and price were acceptable.He happily took out the money and handed it to Wen Xinlan, took out the woven bag from his pocket, packed the little beans and carried it away.Wen Jinchuan, Wen Jinjiang, watching her sister speak well, negotiated a deal in less than ten minutes and made so much money.Why didn't I find out before, my sister turned out to be very powerful, and the two brothers admired my sister so much.Next, several women took a fancy to concentric fruits, chestnuts, and concentric fruits, which are a little more expensive, selling for two cents and five cents per catty, and selling two cents and two cents for chestnuts per catty.A few transactions were sold out, and a total of seven yuan and two were earned, as well as a few catties of food stamps.Only Wen Xinlan's medicinal herbs were not sold, not because she didn't want to sell them, but also because no one bought them at all.She put the medicinal materials left for Liu Ping to treat her illness in another basket, and planned to sell the rest of the medicinal materials.After standing for a while, no one came to buy it, and I was about to go home, when an old man with gray hair but a ruddy face came.The old man was full of energy, radiant, and his eyes were bright, he looked at the Chinese herbal medicines in Wen Xinlan's basket, "Little girl, are the medicinal herbs sold?"
”Finally someone came to ask, Wen Xinlan was very happy, "Sell!"
Do you want to buy it all the time?
”"How much do you sell for a pound?"
Wen Xinlan didn't know much about how much a pound of medicinal materials were at this time, and the price was too high, so I was afraid that customers wouldn't buy it again.Cautiously said, "I bought all the medicinal materials in a basket, fifty yuan, what do you think?"
Fifty bucks!
A few women who bought chestnuts and concentric fruits just now were startled when they heard this, and someone couldn't help but accuse her of saying: "Little girl, a basket of weeds sells for fifty yuan, you want to go crazy with money, right?"
In this era, the wages of workers are less than 30 yuan a month!
Fifty yuan is equivalent to two months' salary!
Even Wen Jinchuan and Wen Jinjiang looked at Wen Xinlan in surprise, "Sister really dares to say it, aren't you afraid of scaring the guests away?"
”Wen Xinlan didn't feel at all how outrageous the price she said, this basket of medicinal materials was worth at least a few thousand yuan in her previous life, okay?
The old man listened to the price of Wen Xinlan's medicinal materials, his facial expression could not see the waves, and said, "I bought it, little girl, can you help me send it to my home?"
Wen Xinlan saw that the old man really didn't bring anything to load the medicinal herbs, and said that it was also appropriate to help the old man send it to his home, so he hurriedly said: "You lead the way, I will clean it up and send it to you."
The old man walked in front, and Wen Xinlan's sisters and brothers followed behind with baskets on their backs, and came to the door of a courtyard house with blue bricks and blue tiles on Qingxi Street.The old man shouted, "Xue'er, take a dustpan from the yard, collect the medicinal herbs and take them to the backyard to dry." ”A voice as crisp as a lark came from inside the courtyard: "Grandpa, I'm here!"
After a while, a girl who was a little younger than Wen Xinlan came out, like a little butterfly flying in, that is, beautiful and soft-colored, with a pair of eyes that were extremely flexible.The girl took the dustpan out and poured Wen Xinlan's medicinal herbs into the dustpan, revealing two cute little dimples: "Sister, your medicinal herbs were picked from Baiyun Mountain, right?"
Wen Xinlan smiled and asked, "How do you know where I picked it from?"
She was curious, how did this girl know that she had picked it from Baiyun Mountain?
It's impossible for a girl like this with a good family background, small and cute, to go to Baiyun Mountain?
The girl took out five sheets of unity and handed them to Wen Xinlan: "Tell you a secret, grandpa only buys medicinal materials from Baiyun Mountain."
No wonder the old man only glanced at the medicinal materials, and he didn't even pay back the price, so he happily took the money to buy the medicine, it turned out that he knew that the medicinal materials in Baiyun Mountain were of good quality.Wen Xinlan accepted the money and came to the commune public health center, she wanted to buy a few Western medicines of sodium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate is anti-Zhenyin infection, and the best effect is in the treatment of kidney Meng nephritis with traditional Chinese medicine.I also want to buy a set of acupuncture equipment, as well as disinfectant and medical gauze.She stood in front of the medicine cabinet, looked at the price of the medicine, pinched the money in her hand, and confirmed that she had bought it.However, the doctor standing in the medicine cabinet did not sell it, and only the barefoot doctors in the brigade could receive the medicine with certificates.I had no choice but to go back the way I came.When passing by the door of the old man who bought her medicinal herbs, the old man shouted: "Little girl, please stay, is that basket of medicinal herbs sold?""
Grandpa, these medicinal herbs are not sold, they are ready to treat my mother."
The old man was not reluctant, "You wait a minute, I will bring you a box of medicine, with the Chinese medicine in your basket, it will help your mother's illness." ”The old man took out a box of Western medicine and handed it to her.Xinlan was very pleasantly surprised, it was sodium bicarbonate!"
Old man, how much?
Do you still have acupuncture equipment, medical gauze and disinfectant alcohol?
”The old man looked at Wen Xinlan, her dark thin and simple face, and the girl's beautiful apricot eyes were full of honesty.The old man said: "Yes, twenty-two pieces of acupuncture and moxibustion equipment, medical gauze and disinfectant alcohol, will be given to you for free, as long as you have good medicinal materials to sell in my store in the future, you can find me if you want to buy things that you can't buy in the future, but keep it secret."
Wen Xinlan bent over ninety degrees, "Thank you, grandpa, my name is Wen Xinlan, I live in the Qingxi Brigade, the Qingxi Production Team, I have prepared the medicinal materials, I will come to sell them to you, I will definitely not break my promise!"
”Wen Xinlan carefully put the western medicine into the pocket of her underwear, and there were still more than 30 yuan on her body, Wen Xinlan did not break her promise, went to the supply and marketing cooperatives on the street, bought four comic books for Jinchuan and Jinjiang, and spent four cents and two cents.
