Chapter 573 - Plastic Bags, Cardboard Boxes

In the same way, the children threw away the hot instant noodles and ate ham sausages.

After eating the instant noodles and drinking the soup, everyone shouted: "This soup is also salty, and it is just right to mix it with a bowl of water." ”

There are also those that are not mixed with water, so they are directly soaked in steamed buns and eaten, and the food is quite fragrant.

The taste of foreigners is heavy, and the amount of seasoning packets is indeed large.

A meal of instant noodles has strengthened the confidence of the people of Hantun Village to make instant noodles and ham sausages.

When a large number of migrant workers arrived, in order not to affect the lives of the villagers, the loudspeakers in the headquarters repeatedly broadcast the construction discipline, and it was strictly forbidden for the migrant workers to enter the village to disturb the masses.

In the 500-acre village, nearly 4,000 migrant workers are moving together, and there are people in all directions, and there is a scene of enthusiasm everywhere.

Didi's description is the most apt: people cheer and donkeys bark.

In the past two years, more donkeys have been fed in rural areas than cattle. Feed the donkey to do farm work in summer and autumn, and in the slack season in winter and spring, you can pull your feet to earn money.

Now the society is developing rapidly, especially the crop yield has increased greatly, but the traffic has not changed much. Supply and marketing cooperatives and grain institutes mainly rely on manpower to transfer cotton and grain, and pulling feet has become a sideline business for young and middle-aged laborers.

Almost every family has a car on the ground, the donkey pulls the feeder, the transporter carries the car, and the return trip can also sit in the car, which is faster than people pulling.

The price of pulling feet is also high, and you can earn three yuan a day. If you work for ten days and a half a month, you can earn more than 40 yuan, which is about the same as the staff.

And with a donkey, pulling the foot can save a lot of effort, which is not too hard.

Therefore, when the land was first divided, there were many people who bought ploughing cattle, and in the past two years, there were many donkeys, especially those who had strong laborers at home, and they also bought a donkey to feed if they had cattle at home.

This time, the village platform was all sent by the ground with donkeys, and there was no rubber-wheeled car. As a result, the construction period was doubled.

The migrant workers who did a good job and completed it early came to Hantun and Shimiao to continue their work, and the migrant workers who did it slowly stayed to build houses.

The migrant workers all received the first project payment, and each of them was more than 40 yuan.

Migrant workers have money in their hands, and when they see something suitable, they buy it. At the consignment point of Yoyo's home, a lot of goods were snapped up.

The goods in Yoyo Mall can be replenished at any time. There are many goods, but there is no such thing in the mall, after all, the difference between the two eras is more than 70 years.

Cigarettes and matches are not available in the shopping mall. The liberation shoes and towels used to wipe sweat that migrant workers like are available in the nostalgic shops in the mall, but the prices are more than ten times higher than now.

Fortunately, now there is a telephone, and the call will be made to the Linshui Zhenyu Branch, and in three or four hours, Aunt Yuyu will be able to deliver the goods to Hantun.

The newcomers saw that most of the migrant workers in these two villages were wearing sportswear, and they were in good spirits when they looked at it, and they all came to see if they knew that they had bought them at the Hantun consignment point.

The outlets are overcrowded, not to mention the rest time, it is the time to go to work, and the store is also crowded with cooks who cook.

The consignment point is a temporary arrangement of two houses, the door is already narrow, there are many people who can't turn around, and many migrant workers buy boxes of cigarettes, but they can't squeeze in.

Dongmei was in the consignment all day, and the three of them were busy.

Smokers cut off their cigarettes, life is really sad, and it is better to go to work, especially when they are idle, they are uncomfortable scratching their hearts and livers, and they can't do anything.

The cooks of the migrant labor team have become purchasing agents. At first it was cigarettes, and later it developed into other things. If it is not suitable to buy back, the consignment point will return it unconditionally.

Compared with the dazzling variety of commodities in later generations, the current goods are relatively simple, and the price is also uniformly stipulated by the state, and it is the same wherever you buy it.

There is only a difference in size between the size and size of the liberation shoes. A white towel for wiping sweat, a blue stripe with a blue stripe is 2 cents higher than a pure white. Nylon socks have many colors, but no matter the size, they are 1.78 yuan.

Someone bought a lot of things, and the basket they brought couldn't fit it, so Grandma Yoyo found an empty cardboard box to put it on, and at first someone said: "I'll send you back the box when I move back." ”

Grandma told them that the cardboard boxes were gone, and you could keep them yourself, but those people were very happy.

At this time, the quality of the cartons is relatively good, especially strong, and can be used for several years. The model is also relatively large, and it can be loaded with a lot of clothes and loose things, and it is also a practical piece of furniture.

Now every house has a wooden cabinet to store the valuables of the house. Clothes and bedding that have passed out of season, and sturdy sticks are hung from the roof and placed on them. Dismantle and wash the cotton clothes and bedding, and cover them with dust.

Not to mention cardboard boxes, now plastic bags are also a good thing, and they are regarded as treasures by people.

In order to ask for a cardboard box, the cook enthusiastically started to buy on behalf of others. I don't bring a basket with me when I buy things, most of them are packed in cardboard boxes, and few of them are found in plastic bags.

Now plastic convenience bags have not yet appeared, but individual plastic bags, the position of the bag mouth has a flat square hole, which can be carried by hand, and it is also convenient.

There are very few such plastic bags, and they just started to be available in Shennan, and most of them are large and lightweight items for towels.

Grandma Yoyo inadvertently turned out a few, but they were so happy that they really hadn't seen the plastic bags they could carry.

Nowadays, plastic bags are relatively thick, and this kind of larger plastic bag is absolutely no problem to lift a ten or eight pounds of things.

When I came to buy something again, someone proposed to ask my grandmother to find a plastic bag that I could carry and put it on. At first, grandma was still a little confused, but when they brought the real thing, they understood.

Plastic bags are now backward in technology and relatively high in cost. In later generations, it was too cheap, but the pollution it brought was also serious, and its use was limited.

Nowadays, plastic products are expensive and scarce, and they are regarded as treasures by people, repeatedly recycled, and have nothing to do with pollution.

Grandma told this to her family as a joke, and Yoyo's eyes lit up. In later generations, this kind of thing was too cheap, less than a yuan for a hundred.

Order a batch of gifts for group purchases and encourage purchasing. This not only solves the congestion of the consignment point, but also reduces the burden on grandma.

The idea of Yoyo stunned grandma, and her old man hurriedly stopped: "Wait, grandma understands the gifts, what do you mean by buying on behalf of you and buying in a group." ”

Fortunately, it is not difficult to explain these new words after 70 years.

Grandma figured it out and said with a smile: "Aren't daigou and group buying both helping people buy things, net foreign words." The people in your mall can't talk well, you can't learn from them, and you can't talk bald in front of others. ”

Grandma agreed, and Yoyo ordered a large number of plastic bags in the mall. The white plastic bag is printed with a big red flower, except that there is no product name and manufacturer, which is exactly the same as the things that grandma packed for them.

In addition, Yoyo also ordered a batch of larger cardboard boxes in the mall, which is also an imitation of the current style, but it is a bare board, and there is no printing on it.

In order to find a provenance for these cardboard boxes, grandma specially called Yuyu and asked her to bring more cardboard boxes and plastic bags when she delivered the goods.
