10. Carelessness
As Pan Yang guessed, the middle-aged man is indeed a teacher in the first middle school, teaching the second year of high school, and the leader of their sophomore political teaching and research group is about to retire, and the middle-aged man has the idea of taking the position of the head of the teaching and research group, and the old team leader has a good relationship with him, and he gave him a trick in private.
Let him go directly to the principal.
In all fairness, the middle-aged man's work ability is not bad, and the class promotion rate has been far ahead of the same grade, but the relationship is not hard enough, and he has been dry shoe-shine work, but all the small leaders in the school are more or less related to the principal, the man is not depressed, the principal is only for profit, go to the principal, what kind of gift to give?
The middle-aged man was having a headache when he accidentally saw the can in Pan Yang's hand, his eyes lit up, and he had an idea in his heart.
It was when people came and went after class, and it was inconvenient to speak, so the man led Pan Yang to an inconspicuous alley and asked Pan Yang in a low voice, "Comrade, how many cans do you have?" How many types are there? β
Speaking of canned food, Pan Yang really has a lot of storage, canned beef, pork, fish, and all kinds of canned fruits. Pan Yang turned sideways to avoid the man's sight, concentrated his thoughts, sifted through the space, took out a can of different types of cans, and handed it to the man.
Different types of canned food packaging are also different, there are iron leather and glass jars, with different forms and exquisite packaging.
The man held it in his hand, his eyes were fixed on the can, and his mouth was chanting, "Where did the comrade come from, this is good, this is good." β
Pan Yang saw that the man was looking carefully, and even read out the brand of the can, as if he was seriously thinking about whether he had heard of this brand. Pan Yang suddenly thought of something, secretly scolded himself for being careless, before the man saw the production date, he hurriedly took the canned food back from the man's hand, held it in his arms, and looked at the man's incomprehensible gaze, Pan Yang's face did not change and he was nonsense, "Comrade, I won't tell you that my canned food was obtained through the guΓ² trail, and I have to tear off the trademark on it, otherwise I won't dare to sell it to you." β
Hearing this, the man suddenly realized.
In this era, there is an extreme shortage of materials, and ordinary people can't even eat meat a few times a year, let alone this pure meat product. Hearing Pan Yang say this, the first thought that popped up in the man's mind was that the canned food in Pan Yang's hand might be a defective product from a certain factory, which was originally distributed to the employees and families of the factory as benefits.
The man understood, "Comrade, I understand your difficulties, so let's not tell you, I want to buy it as a gift, if you tear up the trademark, it will inevitably affect the appearance, if you tear the trademark, how about selling me cheaper?" β
As long as he can sell things, Pan Yang is happy to do anything. She pretended to think about it, and then pretended to be a traveler, and said to the man, "Comrade, I have sold canned food more than once, I sell it to others, canned pork is a can of five cents, canned beef is two yuan a can, fish and meat are cheaper, if you give it to you, I will sell you a piece, as for fruits, I don't care what kind of food you want, I will give you five cents, what do you think?" β
"So expensive?" The man's monthly salary is only thirty-five yuan, and he usually has nothing to do, so how can he be willing to buy such a luxury as canned food, because he has never inquired about the price of canned food.
Pan Yang said with a smile, "If you are afraid that I will be blinded by you, I will not leave, we will go to the nearest supply and marketing cooperatives now, you can ask the price of the supply and marketing cooperatives, see if I have been blinded by you, you think about it yourself and know, the pork in the market is bought for nearly seven cents, how can I have to weigh two or three catties of canned meat, or the finished product after processing." β
The man hesitated, and chose to listen to Pan Yang's construction, he wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to ask for a price first, and he had a good idea in his heart.
I don't know if I don't ask, and I'm shocked when I ask. In the supply and marketing cooperative, canned pork as big as Pan Yang's hand sells for two yuan, canned beef costs two yuan, fish costs eight yuan, and canned fruit is clearly priced at eight cents.
In such a comparison, Pan Yang should not sell it too cheaply.
Out of the supply and marketing cooperative, the man bought two cans of canned pork, one canned fish and one canned beef, and two cans of canned yellow peaches and two cans of pears from Pan Yang in one go.
It adds up to a total of seven dollars.
Pan Yang took out the can from his pocket and gave it to the man, and the man immediately stuffed it into his briefcase after receiving it, and the already small briefcase was stuffed with a bulging bag. After the money and goods were cleared, the man hurried home with a briefcase and a look of joy on his face.
After earning another seven yuan, Pan Yang happily folded the money, for fear of losing it on his body, so he deliberately turned them into storage in the space.
Looking up at the sky, the sun had risen to the center, and touching his already empty stomach, Pan Yang did not plan to go to the restaurant to eat again, but went to the Huai River embankment according to his memory.
There was no one on the embankment at this point, so Pan Yang looked for a place with trees to shade him and sat down cross-legged. Thinking of the two pheasants stored in the space yesterday, Pan Yang was afraid that they would be hungry, so he let them out, dragging the hemp rope in his hand, and letting them look down for food within a controllable range.
Not only were the chickens hungry, but Pan Yang was also hungry at this time, so he took out a pack of instant noodles from the space, and a bottle of mineral water, and after drinking two sips, he poured some water into the depression of the embankment and fed the two pheasants some water.
His eyes fell on the trademark of the mineral water bottle, Pan Yang kept scolding himself for being careless, it seems that he is still inexperienced, the noodles sold in the morning are all trademarked, what if someone finds out?
Now Pan Yang can only pray that the people who buy it never care what brand they buy and what the production date is. But even if it is discovered, they can't find her anyway, it's a matter of money and goods, who else can they go to if they find out?
Calming down the restless heart, Pan Yang leaned on the trunk of the tree and squinted and rested for a while after eating, and in the afternoon Pan Yang did not look for another opportunity to sell things, but went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy the materials she wanted.
What she needs most now is all kinds of packaging.
Like canned food, soap, shampoo, Pan Yangneng can directly tear off the trademark without worrying about not being able to sell it, but what about things such as rice, flour, and instant noodles and biscuits? There is no way to tear the bag.
So Pan Yang decided that she would repack some of the things and sell them at the morning market tomorrow when they were ready.
As usual, I entered the supply and marketing cooperative, Pan Yang glanced at the window and didn't see what she wanted, so she asked the supply and marketing clerk, "Sister, is there a sack or snakeskin bag?" β
It was still the eldest sister with long eyes and a head yesterday, who glanced at Pan Yang, and didn't seem to have any impression of her, and said to Pan Yang lazily, "There are sacks, snakeskin bags are not, but there are nylon bags." β
Nylon bags are also fine, and the flour will not leak.
Pan Yang said, "How much is one?" β
The supply and marketing clerk looked Pan Yang up and down, and asked her angrily, "Do you want to buy it?" β
Pan Yang was annoyed by her attitude, there was a fire in her heart, and she spoke louder, "Since I asked, I must buy it, can't I know the price of buying something?" β
The salesman seemed to be choked for a moment, then got up from the chair, reluctantly rummaged through the counter, took the sack and nylon bag and put it on the counter to Pan Yang, "The sack is a dime, and the nylon bag is a dime." β
So expensive! Pan Yang smashed his tongue, a nylon bag can buy a pound of noodles, no wonder they didn't see the grain in the countryside after they were put into a bag, but in the supply and marketing cooperatives with broken straw mats or bamboo pole mats to surround the column, and all the recovered grain was piled inside.
But no matter how expensive it is, you have to buy it, Pan Yang estimated that he had saved the grain, and bought ten sacks and ten nylon bags in one go.
In addition to these two things, Pan Yang bought oil paper again, and she planned to wrap instant noodles, biscuits, candies and the like in oil paper, and sell them all if she could.
After hugging a bunch of things, Pan Yang returned to the embankment, found an inconspicuous place, and quickly changed the packaging bags of rice and white noodles, as for the snakeskin bags that were replaced, Pan Yang used a knife to divide the snakeskin bags into snakeskin pieces of the same size, and repackaged all the remaining noodles in her space.
Although these tasks are light, but they are delicate and complicated, Pan Yang was busy for a long time to change everything, at this time the sun has set, and the whole county has begun to darken.
After all, it is a county seat, it is impossible to have no entertainment activities, as far as Pan Yang knows, movies will be shown every day on the big playground opposite No. 1 Middle School, and they are free to watch, and residents in the city can join in the fun as long as they move a big bench over.
Pan Yang is a person who has been baptized by various entertainment programs, and he is not interested in the entertainment activities of this era at all.
Tonight without Liu Tiezhu, Pan Yang curled up alone in the bridge hole, sleeping β‘β‘unsteadily, although people in this era are relatively simple, but there are always bad people who are not, and they slept in shock and stinging all night, and finally survived until dawn.
As usual, I went to the morning market
Pan Yang stayed in the county seat for five days, almost selling almost everything that could be sold in the space, and on the fifth night, she curled up in the bridge hole, and counted all the money on her body by the light of the dim flames, a total of two hundred and sixty-eight yuan and seven cents, as well as twenty catties of local food stamps and five catties of national food stamps. In addition, what made Pan Yang even more excited was that she sold canned meat for three catties of meat tickets!
That means she can buy some meat for her family to take home!
At this time, probably no one would have thought that this rural man who slept in a bridge hole and was dressed in tatters would have so much money. Pan Yang was happy and nervous, and carefully stored all the money in the space, for fear that there would be villains at night, she didn't dare to sleep this night, and kept her eyes open until dawn.
When it was dawn outside, Pan Yang went straight to the bus station, where she found the only bus to their hometown, bought a ticket for five cents, and returned to her hometown with a full harvest.
Originally, Pan Yang wanted to buy new clothes for a few radish heads, but after thinking about it, the clothes of the old and young in the family were all made of cloth by Zhang Xuelan, in terms of dressing, it was obvious that Zhang Xuelan was more experienced than her, rather than buying something inappropriate, it was better to go home and give money, and directly let Zhang Xuelan make one for them.
got off the bus in the township, and Pan Yang went to the township supply and marketing cooperative, planning to buy some food to take back. She went by coincidence, and the supply and marketing cooperatives had just transferred third-grade fresh pork from above, in order to provide a cheap channel for the commercial grain accounts working in the township to buy meat, which was cheap for Pan Yang.
Pan Yang didn't hesitate to buy three catties of meat with a meat ticket!
The supply and marketing clerk sold meat when he saw the ticket, but whether it was a township staff or not, he cut it with a knife, and cut three catties of belt meat to Pan Yang.
Next to the pork is the pig in the water, piled aside, no one is rare.
The people of the old Pan family love to eat pigs' large intestines, and Pan Yang asked the supply and marketing clerk with a smile, "How much does it cost to put pigs in the water?" β
The salesman saw that it was rare for someone to buy this thing, so he hurriedly said, "This pile, you can take all the eight cents, and the tickets are not needed." β
The salesman saw Pan Yang's eyes on the pig's trotters again, and then said, "And this pair of pig's trotters, if the eldest brother takes it too, I will make it cheaper for you." β
In the end, Pan Yang asked the pig to go into the water and carried a pair of pig's trotters, all of which were packed in a cloth pocket and carried back one piece.
When I arrived in the village, it was basically noon, because it was Sunday, a few radish heads did not go to class, and they were crazy on the threshing floor, or Pan Shisong's eyes were sharp, and he was the first to see Pan Yang, and immediately threw off a piece of playing friends, and flew to Pan Yang.
His face was red and fluttering, he ran very fast, and kept shouting 'Ada' in his mouth, he was very happy, he threw himself on Pan Yang's thigh, and he didn't let go of it.
"Ada, you're back."
