Chapter 60: Saving Copper Coins
There are more and more migrant workers who come to Youyoujia, especially in Pingcheng County, there are few nearby villages, just a plum village, and there is no consignment point, so it is very inconvenient to buy things.
Seeing the people of Meizhuang Village coming to Hantun to buy things, and then seeing the sea soul shirts worn by the migrant workers here in Hongcheng, I also went to Hantun Village to see what was going on.
I saw it, compared it, and came to the conclusion that it was genuine and particularly cost-effective. The most attractive part is that you can buy some things that are in short supply, such as brown sugar and nylon socks.
There are also many rare things, sea soul shirts, labor pants, white sneakers, these are all things that young people like, not to mention that these are seasonal clothes, which are just right to wear now, and the price is also right.
The migrant workers have been out for more than a month, and they do heavy work and pay special shoes and socks. Many people's shoes are worn to the point that their toes are exposed, and the cotton socks are even more torn, showing not only the toes but also the heels.
Handmade shoes are okay to work barefoot, but you must wear socks to liberate shoes, otherwise your feet will slip in your shoes and delay your work. However, handmade shoes are not wear-resistant, and the soles of the shoes wear out in a few days after doing this kind of heavy work, so most of the migrant workers wear liberation shoes.
Most of the migrant workers in Hongcheng bought shoes and nylon socks at Youyou's house, and when they saw the shoes and socks worn by the migrant workers in Pingcheng, they laughed at them, and deliberately raised their trouser legs to show off their nylon socks.
"Let's take off our shoes and let you see the socks that people sell, they are sturdy and good-looking. Take off your shoes and let me open my eyes. β
"Aren't we far from the bazaar, not as convenient as you to buy things? The migrant worker in Pingcheng replied.
"That's true, this consignment point is specially set up by the county to make it easier for us to buy things. The migrant workers in Hongcheng replied proudly.
"Then we are near, and we are stained with your light. "The migrant workers in Heijo each choose what they like. Everyone wants to liberate shoes and nylon socks, and young people want sea soul shirts.
The older ones saw the heat in their eyes: "If I were a few years younger, I would also buy one and wear it." But these pants are very good, and they don't need a cloth ticket if they are thick, so I'll buy one and put it on first, and the ones on my body are almost exposed. It caused everyone to burst into laughter.
Eyes are hot, and everyone doesn't have much money. After choosing the things that I urgently needed, I reluctantly went back, and I didn't forget to say: "We are almost finished, and we will pay the wages when we are done, and then we will buy them again, and you can buy more goods." β
With the lead, the big guys followed suit, and the sales outlets of Youyoujia were crowded with people every day at noon and night, and most of them were migrant workers in Pingcheng.
The migrant workers in Hongcheng were worried when they saw too much: "Let them buy all the things, don't we have nothing when we pay our wages." β
"It's okay, my grandma will pull it for you in a car. Yoyo comforted them.
"You are still young and don't understand, how can there be so many things? The nylon socks of Zhangji Supply and Marketing Cooperatives are out of stock. β
"My family's sales point is specially set up for you in the county, and if you don't give them to them, you have to give it to your family, and you can't cut off your goods. "Yoyo is sure.
"Then your family will stock up on more goods, and we will bring some things back after we get paid. β
"Got it, my grandma will go to you every day, okay?"
"Uncle, your children are allowed to be given to us, don't be out of them by then. The migrant worker still didn't believe Youyou, and then asked his grandfather.
"Don't worry, I'll make a few more trips to Linshui and the county to stock up on all the goods for you. "Grandma's words are still more credible than Yoyo.
"Okay, you can buy more nylon socks for women, and bring something back to the child and his mother after coming out for two months. "The migrant workers made suggestions.
"I can't afford to buy new clothes, so I put two collars for my daughter-in-law to wear, and I also put on a faΓ§ade when I go out to the market. β
"Good idea, get more bright ones. β
Due to the large number of people, my mother and father also helped, and their daily income was more than 500 yuan. Hao Hao took Didi to read the villain book on the kang and read it to him sentence by sentence. When I encountered a word I didn't know, I called out to my mother and asked her to come over to teach.
On March 21, they went to Zhangji to buy goods, and the two of them went to find Aunt Shengnan. Tell a coppersmith she knows wants to buy some scrap copper.
Aunt Katsuo generally knew about her grandmother's sale of copper basins, and she was not surprised to see her grandmother propose to sell scrap copper.
She said happily: "It's not easy, it's not easy to do in their county, I'm afraid that we will leak the stuffing by ventilating each other, so it's easy to talk about it here." As long as he opens a letter of introduction, he can go through the normal procedures, and we don't care what he buys it for. Besides, these scrap copper have been confiscated in the past few years, and they have grown patina in the warehouse. β
When you hear her say this, you know what to expect. Thinking of the information provided by Zhi Brain, after seven or seven years, the autonomy of supply and marketing cooperatives was expanded, especially after the reform and opening up in seven or eight years, the management became more chaotic, and each worked separately and showed its own powers.
Youyou originally planned to buy a large amount of scrap copper by then, but now in order to let grandpa exert his residual heat, he had to act in advance. After listening to the words of the third aunt, it seems that the current management is not so strict, but the procedures are more troublesome.
"Auntie, what is a letter of introduction, is there a stamp on it?" asked Yoyo deliberately.
"Hahaha" Aunt Katsuo couldn't straighten up with a smile, took out a clip from the drawer, and handed it to Youyou. "See if there are stamps?"
Yoyo took it, pretending to look at it seriously, there were only a few letters of introduction in this folder, and a few copies were secretly copied and put in the space.
"It's also a letter, not even an envelope. Yoyo disgusted and returned the clip to his aunt.
"Aunt is free, buy you some new stamps. "Aunt Katsuo coaxed you.
"Leave her alone, and I don't know why she likes stamps as a child. β
Two days later, Yoyo asked his grandmother to take the letter of introduction imitated by Zhi Brain, and asked Aunt Shengnan to buy a thousand catties of copper coins and put them in several sacks. and brought her two new copper basins, and the third aunt gave one to the stationmaster. The stationmaster was so kind, he took a few copper incense burners from the scrap copper and put them in a sack.
The scrap copper collected by the purchasing station is 1.20 yuan a catty, but it is 1.50 yuan a catty for takeaway.
Grandma drove the donkey cart and pulled the copper coin directly home, which startled grandpa. Grandma told Grandpa that he said that he bought it for Master Zhang, and asked him to pick out the valuable ones first, and send the rest to Master Zhang, anyway, he had to go back to the furnace to melt it, and any kind of copper money could be used.
When Grandpa heard this, he was overjoyed. "I'm trying to press some sorghum stalks, I can't always be idle when no one comes, and now I have something to do. But can we afford to store these things?"
"Don't worry, don't look at our small business, but it's full of money inside and out. We earn one and a half percent of the things we sell, we also earn one and a half percent of the things we collect, and those who exchange things for things can earn three percent of the things inside and out.
We collect more than 1,000 eggs a day, almost 100 catties, and earn a dime a catty, and it is almost ten yuan, and this copper coin is still saved. "Look at grandma's account, this ideological work has been done, and you praise grandma in my heart.
There are a large number of copper coins, and in the evening after that, Yoyo began to follow his grandfather to recognize copper coins, all kinds of treasures, ingots, heavy treasures, Xianfeng, Daoguang, Tongzhi, Yongli and so on There are dozens of kinds. Not to mention, it really made my grandfather discover a few rare five-baht coins, and the whole family followed suit.
The five-baht coin was minted from the fifth year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty's Sui five-baht, and has been used for more than 700 years, with extremely high collection value.
