Chapter 6 Go to the countryside to buy materials
Early the next morning, Hanpi got up and left, didn't even eat breakfast, and when he went out, he ran into Xiaoyu and Xiaoqin, two girls, running to the backyard.
"Uncle Han!"
"Uncle Han!"
"Hmm! ”
Bus No. 11, which leads directly to the suburbs, is just not far from Hanpi's house, and after waiting for less than five minutes, the car came over, which is an early bus.
"Comrade, where are you going?" the conductor in a white shirt and a round hat walked over.
"The station is closer to the village. ”
"Bean Villages. ”
"Okay, I'll go to Douge Village. ”
"A dime!"
Hanpi took out two cents from his pocket and handed it over, the conductor found a dime, and then gave him a ticket, and the bus stopped and stopped, and it took more than two hours to get to the place.
"Damn, it's really far away. ”
Can it not be far, the starting price of the bus is five cents, a fare for twenty stations, and you can sit for forty stations for a dime, and it is estimated that it will be about forty stations in the end, that is, he has taken at least twenty stations, or even more.
Dougezhuang, the northern suburb of the imperial capital, to put it bluntly, is a rural area, and Hanpi did not stop and went directly into the village.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
As soon as I entered the village, I met a middle-aged man, in this era, people are basically not mobile, so strangers will ask when they enter the village.
"I'm looking for your secretary. ”
"Find a branch secretary, come with me, I'll take you there. "When the people of the imperial capital speak, it's all yours and yours. Although it is a rural area, it is also a rural area in the imperial capital.
Came to the gate of a courtyard, the middle-aged man asked Hanpi to wait for a while, and then went in, and in less than two minutes, a simple voice sounded. "Who's looking for me?" As soon as the words fell, an old man who looked to be in his sixties came out of the courtyard.
This should be the branch secretary of Dougezhuang.
"Hello branch secretary, I'm looking for you. ”
"Are you ......?"
"My name is Chen Pi, and I'm from the city. ”
"Oh, what's the matter with you?"
"It's such a branch secretary, I am a purchaser in the staff canteen of the woolen mill, and I want to purchase some raw materials from us. ”
"Ah, you're from a woollen mill, come in. The branch secretary hurriedly made a gesture of please.
The woolen mill is a large state-owned factory, although this is a rural area, but few people do not know, after all, the clothes worn on the body are all made of woolen mill fabric.
As for why Hanpi said that he was a person from the woolen factory, there was no way, in this era, private individuals could not buy and sell, only public to public, and the village committee was also the lowest administrative unit, which was also public.
"Sit down, sit down. The old woman is here, so boil water and make tea. ”
The branch secretary first asked Hanpi to sit down, and then shouted outside.
"Thank you!"
"Comrade Chen, what raw materials are you going to purchase this time? ”
"It's mainly condiments, but of course, some other ones are also purchased. ”
Originally, Hanpi didn't plan to buy anything else, but just buying condiments was likely to make others suspicious, so he temporarily added some others.
At this time, it is all collective, and the collection of CDs is collective, and then distribution, whether it is money or food, it is also good, it is good for Hanpi, it is not used to run back, and it can be done by finding the branch secretary.
"Comrade Chen, do you have a list?"
"Yes, yes, these are all condiments, I didn't make a list of the others, I'll tell you directly what you need later." ”
"Okay, no problem. ”
In fact, there is one of the biggest problems here, that is, the letter of introduction, there is no letter of introduction at all, and this branch secretary did not give him a letter of introduction.
When you go to other places, you need a letter of introduction, you also need a letter of introduction when you go to a hotel, you also have a letter of introduction when you come here to buy something, I don't know if you forgot or did it on purpose, this book didn't ask about the letter of introduction from beginning to end.
In which era, in fact, many people do this, especially in the countryside, they don't care whether you have a letter of introduction or not, as long as you can exchange things for money, the countryside is poor, although there is no problem with eating, but it is difficult to buy a piece of clothing.
"Comrade Chen, what else is there besides these?" The branch secretary handed the list to the middle-aged man who had brought him with him just now, and asked him to call someone to prepare, and then asked again.
"1,000 catties of pork, 200 catties of mutton, 30 catties of chickens, and 300 catties of various vegetables, I wonder if there is a problem?"
"No problem, no problem, but you'll have to wait two hours. In addition......"
Seeing the expression of the branch secretary, Hanpi understood what was going on, and hurriedly took out a bundle of money from his arms, which was a thousand yuan. "Any questions?"
"No problem, I'll go get ready. ”
During this period of waiting, Hanpi saw a group of little chicks in the secretary's house, which looked very good, so he walked over.
"It's just a few days after it broke. ”
The daughter-in-law of the branch secretary was doing needlework next to her, and when she saw that Hanpi was interested in the little chick, she said something.
"Auntie, this little chick is very good, can you sell me some?"
"Why do you want this? It's not easy to raise in the city. ”
"I know, I just want to keep it up and play. "This time, Hanpi didn't say to buy it for the public, but said that he bought it himself, what does the public want this little chicken to do, and he can't eat it.
"I can't be the master of this, let's go back and ask your uncle. ”
This can be regarded as a private sale, of course the old lady doesn't dare.
In less than two hours, all the things Li Hao asked for were delivered, and the next thing was to settle the account, pork, in the city, it was six cents and five cents for fat, four cents and five cents for the weak, and five cents and five cents for fat, so it was a lot cheaper here, and the fat was four cents a pound together.
These things that Hanpi wanted, all of them added up to seven hundred and eighteen yuan, two cents and six cents, Hanpi didn't say anything, and directly counted seventy-two pieces of unity and handed them over, and didn't let them look for them.
"This, how can this work. ”
"There's nothing that can't be done, it's a little bit of a mess. He said it quite easily, but he didn't know that this piece of eight cents was not a small amount of money in the eyes of others, especially in the countryside, after a year of hard work, in addition to sharing some food, the money was not more than ten or twenty yuan, which was still talking about a family.
Of course, if there are more things like Hanpi who come to buy directly, you can also share more, just like today, Hanpi bought something this time, you can give each family an extra dozen yuan.
There are only forty or fifty households in the whole village, and it is likely that this is also the reason why the branch secretary did not ask for a letter of introduction to Hanpi, who doesn't want to get more money for the village.
"Zhishu, I still have something to trouble you. ”
You say. ”
"That's right, I want to buy some chicks and raise them back, of course, I don't want much, I raise them myself. ”
"Hahaha, what do you say to buy, I'll give it to you, how much do you want?"
"No, no, no, I buy it, if you don't want the money, I don't want it. ”
