Chapter 017: Selling Tickets
"Xiaoping, we have spent a lot of money today, have you thought about what to do and sell it?"
He Xiang closed the door and held back his words all the way before asking.
The fare and accommodation fee on this road are almost two yuan, and she and Liu Xiaping brought two yuan as the capital, which means that there are still two yuan left, and she is really a little worried about whether the money is enough to spend.
"Sister Xia, I plan to make steamed buns and broth to sell." Liu Xiaping calmly began to pack up her clothes, and said, "We can't do anything else if we want to, and we have to buy all the materials with tickets, but now we have the most food stamps on us, and it is more feasible to sell buns if we want to come and go." ”
"Selling buns? How do you get the stuffing? How much do we sell it for? When He Xiang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly asked.
Liu Xiaping looked at her anxious appearance and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll ask Aunt Lin later, and ask her to rent an antimony pot, so that we can sell steamed buns." In order to avoid trouble in the future, we had better use the money to clear up, Aunt Lin looks good, but if you look at us making money, it is difficult for us to be outsiders. ”
He Xiang didn't think about it so much, but seeing that what she said made sense, she also nodded.
After finishing the house where they were going to live twenty days later, Liu Xiaping took out a bunch of food stamps, and seeing this, He Xiang also took out his own food stamps, about sixty catties.
"Let's keep half of the food stamps in our hands first, Sister He Xiang, how many oil stamps do you have there?" Liu Xiaping counted half of the food stamps and asked He Xiang.
"It's not much, it's only half a catty, and I saved it for a long time." He Xiang knew that the oil ticket in her hand would definitely not be used, so she pulled out her oil ticket.
Liu Xiaping calculated in her heart, half a catty of oil is not much, it is estimated that it can only be used to make buns, but you can take the food stamps to buy some flour back, during this time they can only eat grain and noodles, if there are pig bones, they don't worry about the problem of oil and meat.
When she came, she had already taken this into account and deliberately took three or four pieces of old ginger out of the house.
This thing is not sold at the food station, that is, it is only available to the barefoot doctor in the township, and it can only be used when someone has a cold, but she still deliberately spent a dime to buy four yuan from the barefoot doctor, which is estimated to be enough for this period of time.
"When we came, we didn't bring any vegetables, I guess we have to ask Aunt Lin where there are vegetables sold in the city, the black market is not good, the price is too expensive, and the cost has also been raised."
Liu Xiaping and He Xiang did the math, decided what to sell, and went to find Aunt Lin.
Aunt Lin was also preparing to cook in a pot at this time, using a coal stove, and when she saw them coming out, she asked with a smile, "He Xiang, you have something to do?" ”
"Aunt Lin, I just want to ask, do you know where anyone needs food stamps? We want to sell some food stamps and go out and buy some food by the way. Liu Xiaping asked with a smile.
"This dish is not easy to buy, you have to go to the vegetable market to queue up, many people queue up every day, and it is even more difficult to buy if you are not locals." Aunt Lin intervened, looked left and right, made sure that no one was passing by, and then quietly asked, "Girl, you said you have food stamps to sell?" ”
Liu Xiaping nodded, looking at Aunt Lin's appearance, she also became nervous.
Isn't it forbidden to sell tickets in the city?
Aunt Lin didn't care about her stove, and quickly took her arm into her house, although there were a lot of things in the house, but it was very clean.
"Xiaoping, how many food stamps do you have to sell? Hehe, Auntie doesn't lie to you, the supply of food stamps in our market is limited, and every household is short of food stamps, if you sell it, can Auntie give you 4 cents a pound of food stamps? ”
"Aunt Lin, all we have in our hands are the county's food stamps." Liu Xiaping took out a few food stamps and handed them to her and let her look at them.
"Oh, the food stamps in Baicang County, it's okay, it's okay, I'll find someone to ask the people over there when the time comes, and see if I can buy some food." Aunt Lin smiled, "How many food stamps do you have?" ”
"200 catties of food stamps can be sold, Aunt Lin, when you go to ask, can you help us buy some cornmeal and white flour by the way?" Liu Xiaping asked happily, if this Aunt Lin could help them solve these things at one time, it would save time.
However, looking at Aunt Lin's appearance, she estimated that this food stamp transaction could not be open, otherwise she would not have asked so carefully.
"200 catties of food stamps for eight yuan, Aunt Lin, see if you want it, if you want, we will sell it to you." He Xiang also saw that this Aunt Lin intended to buy food stamps, and hurriedly said.
"Where can I eat so many food stamps alone, I'll ask my relatives, you can wait a while, and by the way, I will also help you ask about pig bones." Aunt Lin didn't expect these two girls to have so many food stamps, and said in surprise, she couldn't even care about cooking, and hurriedly walked out.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaping and He Xiang didn't stay in Aunt Lin's house for long, after all, they were also strangers, and they couldn't be unguarded.
Fortunately, they didn't wait long before they saw Aunt Lin coming back in a hurry, and the smile on her face couldn't be stopped.
"Girl, we want your 200 catties of food stamps, eight yuan, right? Now, here's the money, for you. Aunt Lin took out a handful of scattered corner tickets from her pocket, counted eight yuan out, handed them to them, and said with a smile after getting the two hundred catties of food stamps, "I also asked you about the pig bones, my nephew said that I can sell them to you privately, and a pound of bones costs 8 cents, but you don't have to take them outside and say that you just know (know quietly), and it is not good to pass them on." ”
Liu Xiaping and He Xiang also laughed and put away the eight yuan, "Okay, can you ask your nephew to send us three catties of pork bones every day?" We give ten days of money first. So saying, she gave two more dimes.
Aunt Lin also accepted it, two yuan and four dimes are not too little, anyway, the pork bones were also taken back by them to eat for themselves, so it was naturally good to sell them.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiaping asked about buying vegetables again, and I don't know if there are any restrictions on outsiders buying vegetables here.
Aunt Lin thought about it, and then took them into the house again, and after passing through the house, she found that there was a small hidden place outside, a place that was a bit similar to a balcony with several frames of soil on it, and it was full of green vegetables.
Liu Xiaping and He Xiang looked at each other, both of them seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Aunt Lin smiled and said, "We have quietly grown this dish ourselves, no one knows, if you need it, I can sell it to you." ”
Liu Xiahe looked at it, and the vegetables planted in the box were all seasonal vegetables, cabbage and orchid, which also grew very well, and were obviously served very well.
