14. The gold finger is running out
After Wang Youtian finished speaking, Zhang Xuelan quickly calculated in her heart how many zhang of cloth and how many catties of cotton were needed to make clothes for all eight members of the Lao Pan family.
One zhang is ten feet, Pan Hengchun, Pan Yang, Pan Shiyao, the three of them are about the same, if you make a dress, each person has to be about one zhang, Pan Shiyao's younger brothers and sisters, Pan Shixun, Pan Shisong, Pan Shiyun, the three of them add up to use up two zhang cloth, as for Zhang Xuelan, she is not tall, less than one meter six, half a zhang cloth is about the same, the two-year-old Pan Shisue at home is even more economical, Zhang Xuelan is not ready to make cloth for him, and he can directly use the rest of the cloth to make a body for him.
As for the cotton, Zhang Xuelan is ready to come with three catties, because they can also take out some old cotton from their worn cotton jackets, and the old cotton will be exposed to the sun for a day, and then it will be played again in the commune, and some new cotton will be added, Zhang Xuelan can guarantee that the cotton jacket and cotton pants made will be as warm as the cotton jacket and cotton pants!
reported the size to Wang Youtian and his lover, Wang Youtian and his lover spread out the cloth on the bluestone platform, and asked Zhang Xuelan to take the handle, and the two of them pulled one side and pulled three colors of cloth respectively.
Wang Youtian and his lover calculated the price of these cloths and cotton in their hearts, adding up to three yuan, even if she worked in the supply and marketing cooperative, she could earn more than a dozen yuan a month, she was reluctant to buy so many fabrics at once, not to mention that Pan Zhaoke's family had a particularly difficult time in their village because of the bad ingredients, and Zhang Xuelan was famous for her life, why did she suddenly change her personality and buy such things?
Thinking so in his heart, Wang Youtian asked with a smile on his lover's face, "I heard that your family Zhaoke went to the county seat a few days ago, did your family Zhaoke find some good work, must have earned money?" ”
With Pan Yang's prior advice, Zhang Xuelan also understood that now was the time when her wealth was not exposed, she smiled and said, "We are an old farmer in Zhaoke, what can I do, seeing that winter is coming, the clothes at home are torn, I just don't want to spend money to do it for them, and I can't do it with clothes." If you want me to say, these people in the village love to break their mouths when they are fine, as if my family Zhaoke went to the county seat and made a fortune, it's really that simple, why don't they follow? ”
Hearing that Zhang Xuelan was a little referring to Sang scolding Huai, Wang Youtian and his lover were smiling, and he no longer followed others to break his mouth.
When she paid the money, Zhang Xuelan was a little painful, although she now has a hundred yuan, I am afraid that there are only a few families in the whole village who can have so much money, but Zhang Xuelan is used to living a hard life counting flowers, and happiness came too suddenly, and she still couldn't adapt to it.
After buying cloth and coming back, Zhang Xuelan was busy making clothes every day.
Now that the farming has long passed, both men and women in the village are idle at home, women hang out with each other, and men hold cigarette pouches and poles, and hold enamel cups in their hands, all squatting under the eaves of the commune gate to the mountains.
After all, Pan Yang is not a serious man, and he is not interested in Kan Dashan bragging. As long as she looked at the dilapidated mud house of the old Pan family, and Pan Shiyao, who was about to marry his daughter-in-law, she felt that she couldn't be comfortable for a quarter of an hour.
If she remembers correctly, her uncle Pan Shiyao should have married her eldest mother at the age of eighteen, and after this year, Pan Shiyao will be seventeen years old, and he sees that he wants to marry a daughter-in-law, but the family is still these three broken tile houses, according to this kind of living conditions, who can be willing to introduce a daughter-in-law to Pan Shiyao?
Even if someone introduces her, her big mother may not be willing to marry, right? After all, people are realistic, and families with poor lives are always at the bottom of the chain of social relations.
Pan Yang only has two goals in the near future, one is to solve the problem of food and clothing for the old and young in the family, and the other is that she wants to build a new house for Pan Shiyao, so that her eldest mother can have a new house to live in after marrying into the old Pan family.
Once the idea was formed, Pan Yang couldn't sit still at home, and after looking for a noon when there was no cold wind, Pan Yang went to Jing Mountain next to their village alone.
Jingshan is a corner of the Qingyue Mountain Range, the Qingyue Mountain Range spans two provinces, the highest peak reaches more than 2,000 meters, in contrast, Jingshan is one of its small soil slopes, the terrain is relatively flat, there are fields opened up by their village on the mountainside, although the harvest is not as good as the flat and fertile Badi Bay, but it is better than nothing.
Pan Yang remembers that when she went to university in other places, Jingshan was heavily invested by the government because it was found to contain rare minerals, and foreign capital was introduced to build a factory.
In any case, Jingshan at this time still maintains its original appearance, although all the edible food on the mountain has been dug up in the three years of the natural disaster, and Jingshan has become a bare mountain shell, but in recent years, the government has vigorously promoted afforestation, and this mountain is now lush and vibrant.
Having said that, apart from having a carry-on space, Pan Yang doesn't have much ability. She has no superpowers, she can't fight cattle across the mountains, she can't see thousands of miles, she walks and stops on the mountains alone, wanders for a long time, except for seeing two hares running fast, there is no gain, which makes her a little frustrated.
Relying only on the little things in her space is not a long-term solution, Pan Yang decided that she would go to the county seat again, and she had to take the initiative to find some opportunities to make money.
With this decision, Pan Yang went back and told Lao Pan's family that she still had to go to the county seat, and no one objected to this home, especially Zhang Xuelan, who was particularly active, and prepared her clothes, dry food and all the money to be spent on the road on the first night.
Early the next morning, Pan Yang went to the township to catch the car to the county seat, and the car arrived in the city in about 40 minutes.
Pan Yang went to the morning market without hesitation.
In fact, at this time, Pan Yang can sell very few things, after all, the material of her space is limited, most of the selling points before are food, and most of the remaining space is now used, such as flashlights, hammers, medicine boxes, etc. Pan Yang was unwilling, and concentrated her mind on flipping through the space again, she didn't know if she didn't flip, she was startled, she actually turned out a watch and a gold bracelet from the space.
These two things were bought and given to her by her father Pan Shisong when she first joined the work, and both things are not cheap, especially the watch, which can show how rich she is every minute when she wears it. At the beginning, Pan Yang took it for a while, and later someone always asked her if the watch on her wrist was genuine, and said that it was true, and people said that she wore a famous watch when she was working, and there must be someone behind her, saying that it was fake, and some people said that she was vain and worshipping money.
Later, Pan Yang simply didn't wear it, and put it in the rented house for fear of losing it, so she simply threw it in the space, and she actually forgot about it!
The watch is too valuable, not to mention now, even after a few decades, Pan Yang is reluctant to sell it, since the watch is reluctant to sell, he can only target the gold bracelet.
The last time I came to the county, Pan Yang basically walked around the entire county, and did not see any high-end shopping malls in the county.
Putting away the messy thoughts, Pan Yang entered the morning market. After walking back and forth a few times, Pan Yang noticed that although there were many people selling things in the morning market, most of them were concentrated in selling grain, fish and meat, otherwise cotton, cloth and other products, but there were very few people who actually sold vegetables.
After thinking about it, Pan Yang somewhat understood that the city is not as good as the countryside, and each brigade in the countryside not only uses the land to grow wheat, corn, rice and other crops, but also leaves a few acres of self-reserved land for the villagers to grow vegetables, and it is evenly distributed to each household, and it can also have about two points of land.
If you think that you have too little land, you can also secretly open a small vegetable garden at home, as long as it is not too excessive, the people of the brigade basically turn a blind eye, now most of the vegetables in the city appear in the supply and marketing cooperatives, the farmers carry the burden to sell very little, first, the vegetables are sold cheaper than the meat but more than the meat occupies more space, it is not good to bring to the city, and the second is too laborious to go to the city, and many farmers are reluctant to spend that money on the ticket fee alone.
But these are not problems here in Panyang, vegetables take up space, right? She can take it with her in the space, and the ticket is expensive, right? She has the capital, and she is not bad for the car.
However, what annoys Pan Yang is that the old Pan family is all in that place, and the eight members of the family living in that small courtyard are already crowded enough, where is there still a place to reclaim a vegetable garden?
There isn't enough place to cook vegetables, so how can she regularly supply regular customers in the city?
