V1.Chapter 31

Last time, Zhou Cheng took her by bike. Xia Xiaolan didn't know that she was so tired when she rode to Shangdu!

Since she came to 83 years ago, fatigue has become the norm. She didn't go to the city yesterday. She rode her bike to more than 20 villages and collected more than 50 kilograms of eel. Xia Xiaolan's job today is to sell eels and hundreds of eggs brought into the city. The busiest days of rice harvesting have passed, and fewer and fewer people are willing to sell eggs to Xia Xiaolan. In addition, with Qijing village as the center, the villages within dozens of miles have been netted by her, and it takes time for the villagers to save eggs.

After selling these hundreds of eggs, Xia Xiaolan just concentrated on reselling eel. This thing has grown up and is waiting to be found in paddy fields and ditches. Xia Xiaolan thought, selling eels is one thing. It's not cost-effective to go back to the city with two baskets full of things? Can she take some goods from the commercial city and sell them back to the countryside?

The current purchasing power of rural areas is really too bad. In addition to necessities such as oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, rural people want to hold every penny in their hands and don't spend money without spending money... No, they don't even buy oil. Some people spend only salt at the end of the year. It's nothing to eat soy sauce, vinegar and oil. People who don't eat salt have no strength!

What does she need to put back in order to take out the money from the farmers?

Later generations of marketing say that women and children have the best money to earn. Now women basically don't dress up, and children run all over the ground. Family planning has just begun to be implemented. Which family is not a few children? Only the young are golden. It's good to have enough to eat when there are many children. There's not so much spare money to spend on children, so Taotao carries his new schoolbag to school, which attracts the envy of other students - their family is reluctant to buy such an expensive new schoolbag.

Children don't have to think about clothes. The clothes worn by older children are left for children to wear. A dress can spread for several years like a family heirloom until it can't be worn anymore.

Xia Xiaolan thought for a long time without a clue. She rode to the first house to sell eel noodles.

"Comrade, do you still need eel today?"

She tried to make herself serious, but her voice was really too delicate. When she said hello, the boss of eel noodles hadn't come out yet, and all the guests who ate noodles looked at her.

The young man has a good foundation and recovers quickly. The wound on Xia Xiaolan's forehead had scabs and scars for a long time, and now there are only light pink traces left. Although she didn't dress up with a red thrush, she cleaned up fresh and clean, which is rare and beautiful.

Xia Xiaolan waited in place for a while, but it was not the boss who bought eel that day.

She is a middle-aged woman with a bad breath:

"If you don't buy Monopterus albus, our store has long-term delivery. Don't come in the future!"

"But..."

"Why can't you, a lesbian, understand people's words? No eel, our shop doesn't want the eel you brought! "

The middle-aged women's bad breath made the customers who ate noodles in the store unable to help:

"If you don't buy it, don't buy it. Talk well."

"Your thick voice frightened the lesbian!"

"The old vinegar at home is spilled out!"

The middle-aged woman didn't quarrel with the guests. There was a sound of falling and beating in the kitchen. Xia Xiaolan knows that this should be the boss's wife. When she came to sell eel that day, she thought the boss was very sincere. Unexpectedly, the boss's wife somehow knocked over the vinegar Jar - Xia Xiaolan is dying of injustice, but she wants to quarrel with the boss's wife. Will she do business in this area in the future?

Unfortunately, I can't say.

Xia Xiaolan has a good self-restraint, and her face has changed and changed.

Pushing the bicycle to go, the owner of eel noodles rushed out, "I'm sorry. You see, my husband is unreasonable... He doesn't dare to buy your eel in the store, but I have a relative who is in charge of purchasing in the municipal Party committee hostel. His name is Hu Yongcai. If you're willing to try, say it was introduced by Hu Zhuliang."

Boss Hu is very ashamed. His wife is so shameless to Xia Xiaolan in public. When she meets someone with a bad temper, she has to spill it in the store. It's rare that Xia Xiaolan doesn't care, but she can't bully people too much.

Municipal Party Committee Guest House?

The official yamen is not easy to deal with, but if it can really succeed, it is also a long-term partner.

"Thank you, boss Hu!"

Xia Xiaolan thanked Hu Zhuliang for not staying long. His wife was angry in the store again.

Xia Xiaolan didn't go to the municipal Party committee guest house immediately.

It's not that she doesn't believe boss Hu's introduction. It's an inquiry. The hostel's name is tall. In fact, it's not in the city at all, but in the west corner of the city. Who knows what the leaders of commercial cities think? They built the guest house of the municipal Party committee so far.

Xia Xiaolan also went to the previous farmers' market to sell goods. She was coming early today. There were quite a lot of people in the farmers' market.

After paying the management fee, she was assigned to a small position. Xia Xiaolan put up the sign and someone came forward to choose. She looks unforgettable, and the people who buy vegetables remember her. Someone asked her why her object didn't come. Xia Xiaolan responded to these similar questions with a smile.

"Eel cheaper?"

"One catty, as long as one catty, you have to give enough!"

When the business came, the people who bought vegetables surrounded Xia Xiaolan and talked about it. They had to weigh the scales and charge for change. Some bought eggs and some bought eel. If the reaction was a little slower, they would be confused. Xia Xiaolan was busy for two hours. Her clothes were soaked with sweat before she was free.

They all buy their own food at home. There are few bulk customers, scattered, and there are still more than 100 eggs and more than 20 kilograms of Monopterus albus.

There are many strange goods sold in the farmers' market, but what sells well is either people's necessities or rare things, such as the eel brought by Xia Xiaolan from the countryside. If Xia Xiaolan brings any small vegetables, it will cost a few cents a kilo. It's hard to please and has no competitiveness.

After staying at the farmers' market for a while, Xia Xiaolan left some eggs and eel.

It's really risky to retail like this every day. Xia Xiaolan also wants to find someone who can buy a lot. She misses boss Hu's words and is ready to go to the guest house of the municipal Party committee. A person in charge of purchasing in the municipal Party committee hostel may not buy much goods, but the other party must recognize her peers - the 1980s was a period of strong personal feelings. If she could get involved with Hu Yongcai, a relative of boss Hu, it might open more than a market.

Xia Xiaolan is going to corrode Comrade Hu Liangcai by means of sugar coated shells trained by future generations.

Gifts are exquisite. When giving gifts to gay men, cigarettes and wine will never go wrong. Maotai and Wuliangye must be the most dignified drinks. Let alone the price, these two special drinks are rationed for cadres. Xia Xiaolan can't even touch the wine bottle with money. There is no market for price and can't buy them!

Besides cigarettes, golden leaves, scattered flowers and colored butterflies produced by Shangdu cigarette factory‘ "Golden leaf" is a grade B cigarette smoked by middle and lower level smokers, "Sanhua" is a grade A (special) cigarette specially used by leaders at all levels and meetings, and "Caidie" is between the two kinds of cigarettes. Although it is a grade a cigarette, with a retail price of 0.35/box, Xia Xiaolan thinks it's OK to give it to boss Hu's relatives - but she was immediately beaten in the face by reality. People heard that she wanted to buy a "Caidie", Look at her with a fool's eye:

"One? No! If you want to buy more than two bags, you have to write me a note! "
