Chapter 24: Catching Up with the Market (2)
"Oh, I see that you really haven't come out as a child, how did you live before. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Wang Jianjun's daughter-in-law said with a smile.
The daughter-in-law hurriedly popularized the basic knowledge for her, "Let me tell you, these people who sell things are all from the public, so we are still buying things from the public." ”
Through the explanation of Da Xuan's daughter-in-law, Shen Yunfang realized that the current market was not the kind of farmers' market in later generations, but such a market organized by the commune to organize various production teams nearby, and each production team could sell it here if they had surplus output.
Now the people who sell things are honest, loyal, and trustworthy good people selected by each production team, and each supply and marketing cooperatives comes out to sell things, at least two, and supervises each other to make mistakes.
For example, some production teams have public vegetable plots, and the output in the vegetable fields will be sold to those members who have little land at home and no vegetables to eat, for example, Shen Yunfang's family does not grow mustard garda and carrots, she can buy them in the market if she wants.
There are also pigs raised by the production team, if there are old sows who give birth, and their own village can't consume them, they will take the piglets that can't be sold to the market to see if the members of other villages need them. In normal times, there are lambs, chickens, ducks and geese.
Then there are non-staple foods, tofu, bean sprouts, and vermicelli are all made by the processing factories under the commune, and the members can buy them with money or exchange them for grain, such as tofu, which is one and a half catties of soybeans for one catty of tofu.
There are multiple processing factories under each commune, such as tofu mills, oil mills, rice mills, etc., and if the members need to process them, they can pay some manual fees to process them here.
For example, most of the rice milling in the village is hand-milled, but if you have money, you can pull the rice to the commune and use the machine to mill the rice, which is fast and trouble-free, and the manual cost of a pound of rice is a penny.
Pots and pans are sold by the consignment cooperatives in the commune, and they are the same as those in the city, but some may be cheaper than those in the city.
After understanding these situations, Shen Yunfang had some understanding, that is, the commune has a big mouth and engages in monopoly.
Her little arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she had to give in.
Shen Yunfang and a few sisters-in-law walked along the crowd one by one.
The first to arrive was the daily necessities area, Shen Yunfang felt that she should buy everything she saw, these things were lacking at home, she didn't know now, how the two mothers and daughters lived before.
She weighed the money in her hand, a total of sixty-three yuan and four cents and five, a few days ago I bought fifty catties of rice and one hundred catties of cornmeal from Aunt Shen, and spent twenty, and now there are forty-three yuan and four cents and five cents left in her hand.
The two big bowls and plates are all at the same price, two cents a piece, and a porcelain basin with a diameter of more than 30 centimeters is seven cents, and she picked four bowls and four plates, and two porcelain basins, which are exactly three yuan.
She took the money, took her things, and went shopping. Look at the curtain made of sorghum stalks next to it is very good, you can use anything in the future, and the price is not too expensive, a dime a piece, just squat down and prepare to pick a few.
"What are you doing?" asked the daughter-in-law in a whisper as she approached her, lest the salesman next to her hear.
Shen Yunfang was a little confused, "There are no curtains at home, just in time, buy a few." "What's the matter? It's so mysterious.
"You're so stupid, our village grows sorghum, what are you spending that unjust money for?"
"Oh?" she didn't know, since the village had planted it, why had she never distributed sorghum rice.
She whispered the question in her heart, and then she knew the reason.
Sorghum is not a lot of grain, but the yield is not high, one mu can produce two or three hundred catties of sorghum rice, so the village does not plant, but the village has used a few acres of land to plant sorghum, and the sorghum rice produced is not enough to hand over to the state, so the team cannot see it, but there are still sorghum stalks.
The raw materials for these things are curtains and brooms, so if the members are short at home, they will go to get some sorghum stalks home every once in a while, and tie them themselves, without spending money to buy them at all. Of course, the sorghum stalk is also the property of the team, and the members still have to avoid some people when they take it.
"You don't have to spend money to buy this, when I get home, I'll ask Brother Da Shuan to get you some sorghum stalks and tie a few curtains. The daughter-in-law hurriedly pulled Shen Yunfang up, smiled at the salesman in disguise, and then dragged the person away.
"Hey, sister-in-law, don't pull it, even if I don't need to buy a curtain broom, I have to buy something else. "Why did you pull her away, what a good position she just grabbed.
"What else do you want to buy?" The daughter-in-law was a little suspicious, why did she have so many things to buy, she had already spent three yuan just now. Whose child is as big as her, he won't be able to live in the future.
"My house is short of a house style for loading things, I see that there are willow baskets for sale, I ask the price, if it is suitable, I will buy two. "Shen Yunfang saw it just now, there are big and small, but he didn't have time to ask the price.
Shen Erzhu's daughter-in-law next to her pulled her, "You don't need to buy this, Erzhu will make it, just tell me how big you want." ”
Oh my god, these are all folk artists!
"Really, that's great, let's make me ten or eight first. Shen Yunfang was happy.
The daughter-in-law of the big bolt listened to her words so out of tune, and pinched her gently, "It's a bit serious, don't let others see it." ”
"Sister-in-law, what I said is true. "Shen Yunfang is a little aggrieved, she is quite serious.
"Okay, it's all a trivial matter, I'll make it up for you when I go back. Shen Erzhu's daughter-in-law waved her hand, this is not a matter.
So the group began to trek forward again.
When she arrived at the vegetable area, Shen Yunfang didn't buy anything else, she bought twenty catties of carrots, and this time several sisters-in-law didn't stop her, because they didn't grow them at home, and they didn't like the taste of carrots, but they couldn't stop someone from liking them.
Carrots cost two cents a pound, and Shen Yunfang spent another four cents.
"Sister-in-law, carrots are nutritious, especially for children, you can buy some for Xiaojuan too." Shen Yunfang thought of Xiaojuan's body, and it seemed that her nutrition couldn't keep up, so she reminded.
"Is this nutritious?" Wang Jianjun's daughter-in-law was a little unconvinced, "No one eats this thing at home, it's all for pigs, and it's nutritious for people to eat?"
It's really a terrible thing, but she knows a good feed for pigs, and the carrots at this time are really not expensive, if she raises pigs next year, she can buy it for a few hundred catties and save it first.
Before Shen Yunfang could say anything, the daughter-in-law had already squatted down and started picking carrots.
"Do you really believe it?"
"It's better to believe what you have than what you don't. Xiaojuan's body is the pain in her heart.
"Well, you can try it first, if it's really good, I'll plant some next year. Wang Jianjun's daughter-in-law still didn't believe it.
