Chapter 16
There should be a black market these days, but I can take my space and go to the black market to exchange some supplies such as cloth tickets.
However, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see the situation now.
The most intuitive difference in the town at that time was the road surface.
The village is full of dirt roads, the air is full of dust when it is windy in spring, and dirt roads with sticky soles are everywhere when it rains in autumn.
The town is different, the roads are mostly green bricks, and the streets are much cleaner than the village.
The streets are clean and tidy, and there are people coming and going on the streets.
When she first arrived, Zhong Mumu was a little embarrassed, and she completely lost the excitement and anticipation of being on the road when she came here. Her little hand was holding on to her sister's sleeve tightly, for fear that she might get lost if she was not careful.
"It's okay, take it easy, my sister is by your side!"
Sensing Zhong Mumu's abnormality, Zhong Xixi squatted down and patiently comforted his younger brother before getting up and looking for the destination, "Let's find a supply and marketing agency."
In this era, when earning work points and eating collective meals, everything you buy is a state-run supply and marketing cooperative. From a small bag of salt to some rare radios, they are all sold by the supply and marketing cooperative.
There is only one supply and marketing cooperative in a town.
Not long after walking, Zhong Xixi followed the crowd to find the place.
The siblings were dressed in rags, their patches were scattered here and there, and their trousers were half cut short.
Standing at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, dressed in a dress that could not escape the twenty cents, aroused scrutiny, disgust, or sneer at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative where people came and went.
Zhong Xixi doesn't care about those eyes, she's not RMB, she can't arouse everyone's admiration as soon as she appears on stage.
"Let's go, Mumu, my sister will take you shopping!"
The supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have a big facade, but it has a hidden hole inside.
Rows of counters separated the containers from the customers entering the store, and the counters were so majestic that the height reached Zhong Xixi's chest.
Zhong Mumu, who was led by her, could only see the dark brown counter as far as he could see. He was already thin and small, but now he looked even smaller against the backdrop of the counter.
However, the division of labor in the back of the container is very clear. Daily necessities, grain and oil, and cloth are all displayed in categories. I don’t know how to read, but I can easily find what I want to buy by looking at what is on the shelf.
"sister……"
The inside of the supply and marketing cooperative is really too big, and I can't even look up to see the shelves.
The uneasiness in Zhong Mumu's heart was infinitely magnified at this moment, and her voice was like a mosquito, "What should we buy first? I can't seem to see anything, so I can't help you choose together."
"Buy some for the kitchen first."
Looking up and scanning the shelves, Zhong Xixi saw the words "grain and oil area", and Zhong Xixi pulled Zhong Mumu to go there.
"Hey, hey kid, what are you doing here?"
The clothes of the siblings are really eye-catching. Standing outside attracted the attention of passers-by, and now they entered the supply and marketing cooperative, which attracted the "special" attention of the salesperson in the store.
Seeing the two of them stopped, the salesperson was not polite, frowned and said with disgust, "This is for selling things, and you need money and tickets to buy things. What are you two doing here? You want to buy something and go home and let the adults take it with you." Come here!"
Hearing this, Zhong Xixi was not angry either, and turned around slowly, carefully took out the money from his pocket and held it tightly in his hand.
The eyes also became a little timid: "Sister comrade, there are no adults in our family. My parents died a few years ago due to business, and I lived with my aunt for a few years.
Today I just took my younger brother out to start my own business. There is only one kang in my grandfather’s old house. I plan to come to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some daily necessities. I brought money and tickets. "
The age of the salesperson seems to be about the same as Liu Meili.
But when going out, men call elder brother and women call elder sister. This is the most basic way of life for later generations.
The salesperson who called her sister was enraged.
Not to mention the miserable life experience of the little girl in front of me, who could not help but be moved when he heard it.
Both parents died, the siblings lived under the fence, the washed white clothes with patches exposed wrists and calves were obviously ill-fitting...
After this operation, the salesperson completely lost the superior attitude just now.
"Oh, that's pitiful."
The salesperson didn't rush people out anymore, and the store wasn't too busy at the moment, so she simply acted as a shopping guide and followed the siblings, "Son, what do you need to buy? There is nothing at home, you Tell me what you want to buy, if there is anything else you can't think of, I'll tell you."
"Sister comrade, you are really kind."
The other party said so, and Zhong Xixi didn't need to pretend to refuse politely. He just spread out his palm, and there were ten yuan and a few food stamps in it, "My brother and I only have so much. We need to buy some bowls and chopsticks for cooking. The materials used, and some simple daily necessities, comrade sister, do you think these are enough?"
He is new here, and the original owner has never gone out to buy anything. Zhong Xixi is really not clear about the prices of this era. He only knows that the current 20 yuan can be worth thousands in future generations, but let her pay for it. I really don't know how to choose the most cost-effective way to buy things at the supply and marketing cooperatives with tickets.
"Ten dollars, and some bills."
The money has been held for a long time, and it has become crumpled, and the tickets are not much better.
The more wrinkled and older these are, the more it can be seen how long the owner has saved these amounts.
"This……"
The salesperson saw that there were only food stamps, so naturally they didn't buy much, but they had been doing this job for a long time, so they naturally knew that there were other ways, such as exchanging tickets with people who came here to buy things and didn't have enough tickets.
It's up to her if she wants to help.
In the current situation, she was naturally willing to extend her hand to help, and sure enough, she got another ticket in a short while.
, "Come to the grain and oil area first, and I will calculate the kitchen for you. After this calculation is over, how much is left, I will take you to see the daily necessities. The supply and marketing cooperatives cannot give discounts, but I will try to use the money to give you everything. Set it up."
Receiving the guarantee in front of so many people, Zhong Xixi pulled Zhong Mumu and bowed to the salesperson, "Thank you comrade sister, you are really kind-hearted, my brother and I believe in you."
Now Zhong Xixi really saves worry and effort.
The ones that are placed higher should be more expensive; the ones that are in the middle are those that are moderately priced, but the people who can afford them are limited; the bottom few rows are almost the ones that are commonly used and affordable by the general public.
"Girl, can you see if these things are enough, is there anything missing?"
The salesperson has already finished buying things, and he dragged his abacus to calculate again and again, "There are three yuan and sixty cents left, and some food stamps. If there is anything missing, I can buy more."
Still have money and food stamps?
Zhong Xixi was surprised. She never expected this. How low are the prices in this era?
The salesperson was careful, and basically listed all the items needed by the life clock. There are so many things that are more than ten yuan and a few tickets.
After thanking the salesperson again, Zhong Xixi looked at the items in front of him and compared them with the list in his mind, "By the way, comrade sister, the most important pot is not bought yet."
I don't know if I have enough money left in my hand.
If it is not enough, you have to think of other ways!
