Back to the era with space supplies

Chapter 204 Ginger is still old and spicy

Si Ningning nodded, "I only care about the supply, and I don't care about the rest."

"That's right." Si Ningning looked up at the monkey head, "Do you know how to read?"

She supplies the goods, and Monkey Head and the others are responsible for selling them, so the payment can only be obtained when the second supply is made. In order to avoid unnecessary delays, a copy of the account must be recorded.

The monkey scratched its head, faltering and saying, "Eh...well, I, I can't read, but Brother Yang and the others seem to be able to."

"I'll come here once every ten days and a half months. It's hard to say the exact time... If you plan to do this, you have to keep an account and list everything clearly to avoid fuss." Si Ningning nodded lightly, and continued after deliberation Said: "There is still time before my next visit. You can discuss with them. I will spare as much time as possible to come over these few days."

The monkey head nodded repeatedly and agreed, "I come to the county frequently. If I can't come, I will tell my uncle the news in advance. When you come here, he will tell you the situation."

"Okay."

After the matter was finished, the two opened the door of the compartment.

Si Ningning's dress is very iconic. When they came in to talk about things just now, the old man at the scrap yard lay on the rocking chair and pondered for a while, remembering that Si Ningning was the one who came back to pan for gold last time.

At this moment, Si Ningning came out of the cubicle, and the old man at the scrap yard took a look at the monkey head's smiling face, and knew that the matter between them had been negotiated, so he couldn't help but treat Si Ningning more kindly.

The old man at the waste station took the initiative to ask: "Little comrade, you didn't find anything good when you came back to pan for gold last time. I got something this time. I wonder if you are interested in taking a look?"

It was getting late, and Si Ningning was already preparing to leave. Hearing this, she stopped and said "Oh?"

The old man at the waste station went into the cubicle and fumbled around, and when he came out, he already had an old pocket like a kit in his hand.

Si Ningning heard the "clinking" sound inside, guessing that it was something like copper coins or coins.

The old man at the scrap yard tore off the elastic cord and poured out the contents. They were coins, but not copper coins, but Yuan Datou...

Yuan Datou is not worth much in later generations, and the price of a piece that is well preserved is about 300-500 yuan, and because of the large number of issuances, Si Ningning thinks it is not meaningful to collect.

Just as he was about to shake his head, Si Ningning had sharp eyes and saw a relatively unique coin among the seven or eight Yuan Datou in the old man's hand.

Surrounded by a pattern of coiling dragons swallowing the sun, with the words "one corner" printed in the middle, Si Ningning took the small coin and turned it over to check. On the other side were printed a dozen words, "Hong Xian first year Hu Nan Kai National Commemorative Dime Silver Coin".

Si Ningning's heart skipped a beat, and he said calmly, "This looks a bit special, how can I sell it?"

"This kind of old money is usually collected by us. We sell it privately at the same price as copper coins, two cents." The old man at the waste station laughed twice, waved his hands and continued: "You and my boy They are about the same age, and they are good friends, if you like this, I will give it to you."

These words sound very open and bright, but there are many rules and regulations in detail.

This was because he was worried that the monkey head would not be cautious enough, and that Si Ningning would secretly plot against him, so he came out to try and sell it.

If Si Ningning accepts, it means that he is willing to be with them, if not...

Si Ningning understood these principles, and sighed inwardly, "Ginger is still old and spicy", then collected the coins calmly, lowered his eyebrows and asked, "What's your name?"

Appreciation flashed in the eyes of the old man at the waste station, and he smiled kindly, "Mian's surname is Cheng."

"Old Cheng." Si Ningning nodded lightly, "It's getting late today, and I have to hand over the matter when I go back, so I'll leave first. I'll come back again when I find time in the next few days."

The two sides agreed, and before leaving, Si Ningning glanced at the waste station room again, and said to Old Man Cheng: "If there are similar coins in the future, you can pay attention to them. I will charge three times the market price."

Three times the price was enough to show interest in this "coin". Of course, Si Ningning was willing to give it a higher price, but that would be too eye-catching and would easily arouse suspicion.

"Don't worry, comrade, it's not easy to hide big things, but these small things are still fine," Old Man Cheng assured.

Si Ningning nodded and left through the back door.

Finding a corner to enter the space, Si Ningning took off all her clothes, took a bath, washed her hair and removed makeup within 10 minutes, dried her hair and braided it in another 10 minutes, and changed into the clothes she had when she went out. space.

Going out of the alley to the state-run hotel, I looked around upstairs and downstairs, but seeing Xu Shuhua and the others, Si Ningning turned and went downstairs, and went to the supply and marketing cooperative diagonally opposite the state-run hotel.

"Serve the people! Comrade, what do you want?"

Standing at the counter was the same young saleswoman named Xiao He from last time.

Si Ningning was stunned for a moment, then said casually: "Study hard and improve every day."

Then I explained my purpose of coming, to buy notebooks, pencils and kerosene lamps.

Comrade Xiao He bowed, took out two sets of pencils from the green glass cabinet at the bottom, and introduced them to Si Ningning, "Eight cents for a kerosene lamp, twenty cents for a bottle of kerosene, and five cents for returning the bottle next time... Pencils cost two cents. Planted ones, like this one with rubber, cost a penny, and those without rubber cost a penny."

As he said that, he squatted down and rummaged through the books, "There are grids and striped notebooks, both of which cost two cents each, comrade, which one do you want?"

"Show me all of them." Si Ningning said.

One type of pencil has an orange-yellow body, while the other has red and black vertical stripes, and a rose-pink eraser on the tip.

Si Ningning held the pencil with black and red vertical stripes, and pressed his hand on the eraser. The eraser was very hard, as if it had been coated with gelatin.

Comrade Xiao He brought up the notebook, and Si Ningning casually opened the cover and looked at it.

The paper of the book is yellow, the paper is very thin, and the eraser is so hard, it is estimated that the typos can be directly torn into layers before they are wiped off.

Si Ningning made a choice, and tapped on the notebook and the orange pencil, "Twenty for each of the two kinds of notebooks, and twenty for the pencil or the one without an eraser."

"Okay." Comrade Xiao He squatted down and took out a stack of notebooks, and brought out a bag of bundled pencils. Before counting, he took a look at Si Ningning and said with a smile: "I remember you, you are an educated youth."

"I bought these for the literacy class, right? Our brigade has also heard some rumors, but I don't know how to arrange it."

"I don't know the specifics, but the production team asked them to bring them back along the way." Si Ningning nodded and chatted casually, "By the way, are there any pens and individual erasers for sale here?"

"The Supply and Marketing Cooperative has ink, and you have to go to the department store to buy pens and erasers."

"Then bring me another bottle of ink."

"There are two colors, red and black. Comrade educated youth, you should want the black one?"

"Hmm..." Si Ningning paused, "Let's have a bottle."

"Row!"

The ink costs [-] cents a bottle, and if you bring the bottle when you run out, you can get two cents back.

Calculated by buying, buying, buying, and buying, it only cost one yuan and eighty-four cents before and after.

Si Ningning paid the money quickly, and asked Comrade Xiao He to wrap the book with a large sheet of oiled paper for an extra penny.

"Thank you." After saying a few words, Si Ningning walked out with his hand in his hand. As soon as he left the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, he bumped into the group of educated youths who were walking at the intersection on the other side of the turntable.

"Jiang Yue, Xu Shuhua!" Si Ningning took two steps faster.

When the two sides met, they both gained something, but they all asked in unison: "What did you buy?"

Everyone was stunned at the same time, smiled and said: "Go to the state-run hotel first, sit down and talk!"

Si Ningning was not too hungry, so she ordered a porridge for two cents, and the state-run restaurant gave a small plate of pickles as a gift. She carried it upstairs first, and found a place by the window to sit down.

When I went out in the morning, I was carrying a bamboo basket. When Xu Shuhua and the others were free, Si Ningning tapped the things and put all the ink and pencils into the basket. A large pile of notebooks couldn’t fit in, so I temporarily pushed them to the corner of the table and put them against the wall. , take it when you go.

Xu Shuhua and the others also came upstairs soon. Same as last time, if the conditions are good, eat well, and if the conditions are poor, order cheap ones, as long as they can fill their stomachs.

"We bought wax gourds, pumpkins, and a watermelon. We pooled our money together to buy them. Ningning, what did you buy?"

"I bought some pencils, a notebook, and two bottles of ink... Did you chip in to buy the watermelon? How much did you spend? Count me in." Si Ningning took the initiative to ask.

Jiang Yue waved her hand, "You don't need to pay for it, everyone will take care of it when you buy it."

Bite off a big mouthful of pancakes, Jiang Yue mumbled: "You always take us with you when you have good things, so don't talk to us this time."

Si Ningning's eyes teased: "That's fine, this time I'll rub my face cheekily, and I'll eat too much later, you can't blame me."

"I don't blame you, I don't blame you!" Li Lingyuan cheerfully agreed.

There was a good atmosphere of talking and laughing at the table. While eating, the girls planned where to go next, and finally made a decision to go to the department store.

The male educated youths followed suit, "Then let's go too. I haven't been to the department store here a few times in the town. See if there is anything to buy?"

Si Ningning kept in mind what the salesperson of the supply and marketing agency said just now, that pens and erasers had to be bought at the department store, so of course there was no objection, and he went to the department store with everyone after dinner.

The department store in the town has only two floors, each floor is about 120 square meters, with simple partitions at the corners, and the parts in the play are separated by green glass counters. There are more supplies and marketing companies to buy, and the quality is slightly higher.

Facts have proved that no matter what era, most women are very keen on visiting "malls".

Although Xu Shuhua and the others didn't have much money on them, they didn't affect their interest at all when they went shopping. Occasionally, they would stop when they saw beautiful floral cloths or ready-to-wear skirts in the small corner shop, lowered their voices in unison, and let out excited exclamations. scream.

Those clothes are actually very simple in style, and they are very conservative and old-fashioned. Xu Shuhua and the others like them very much, but Si Ningning can't get the good-looking features at all.

Because they wanted to buy something, they walked around a little, Si Ningning greeted Xu Shuhua and the others, and then left the small group to wander around on their own.

After buying pens and erasers along the way, Si Ningning weighed two catties of fruit peels and turned to find Xu Shuhua and the others. On the way, Si Ningning noticed that there was a mosquito net in the department store.

The lady at the counter was sitting on a chair, lazily lying on the edge of the counter. Hearing the question, she raised her head lazily and glanced at Si Ningning, "There are two kinds of mosquito nets, the white one is five yuan, and the pink one is a wedding tent, which costs eight yuan." .”

Five or eight yuan is not a small amount of money to others, but to Si Ningning, it is a small amount of money.

"Can you bring it over and show me? What's the difference?"

Mosquito nets are not cheap, and there is usually no work, so the lady at the counter has always been quite lazy.

But laziness is laziness, and the service attitude is quite satisfactory. Si Ningning said she wanted to see it, but she turned around and brought two bundles of large packages, which made it impossible to find a big mistake.

"Apart from the different colors, the quality of these two products is the same. A pair of mosquito net hooks will be given as extra for the wedding tent." As they spoke, everyone at the counter squatted down and found a pair of mosquito net hooks wrapped in a hard plastic bag.

Si Ningning buried her head in touching the corners of the two parcels, feeling the difference in quality. The lady at the counter glanced at her and said, "Girl, do you want to use it for a wedding or something? Usually this is bought by the man."

Si Ningning paused for a moment, and explained with some embarrassment: "No, I just use it myself."

The quality of the two mosquito nets is indeed the same, but the texture of the pink is more transparent, and the white is not so transparent. Considering the actual situation, Si Ningning prefers the white mosquito net: "Sister, I want this, but do I have to pay for the mosquito net?" Want coupons?"

"Yes, I want an industrial certificate."

Industrial vouchers...

Si Ningning put the things in his hand on the counter, turned sideways and pretended to look for coupons in the back basket, but actually took out a large bundle of coupons from the space.

Si Ningning unraveled the sweater strings that bundled the tickets, and pulled out a paper ticket with "Industrial Product Purchase Coupon" printed on it for a long time.

Putting the messed up ticket into the space, Si Ningning handed the money and the ticket to the counter lady.

Two pieces of two yuan, two pieces of fifty cents, both in full money, plus a half-new industrial coupon, after the lady at the counter took it, she couldn't help but gave Si Ningning a few more glances.

Originally, he was still muttering about Si Ningning's background and such a generous move, but when he saw Si Ningning's white and tender face like an egg that had been peeled off his shell, his heart suddenly became clearer.

This is destined to be the girl from the leader's family, who came to inspect in the name of shopping!
Thinking of this, the lady at the counter couldn't help but become more serious and enthusiastic, "Well, then, let me find something for you to hold, can you take it?"

Si Ningning didn't think much about it, and glanced at the mosquito net tied into tofu cubes. It was neat, but it was really hard to handle, so he nodded, "That's fine, thank you, big sister."

"You're welcome! We are all good comrades, and we should serve the people!" The lady at the counter smiled "haha" and quickly found a snakeskin bag. To Si Ningning, "Come on, comrade, take it!"

Si Ningning tilted his head, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he didn't quite understand the reason for the change in the other party's attitude.
