Chapter Forty-Eight: Strong Purchasing Power
When the movie ended, Fang Dajun didn't go to the back to find a projectionist, he couldn't afford projection equipment now, and he probably couldn't play with this old-fashioned disk.
"Sister, it's time to go!"
"Well, it's late."
For him, who often stayed up late in his previous life, the time of eleven o'clock at night was in better spirits, but Fang Yan was different, detached from the atmosphere of the movie, and was instantly invaded by sleepiness.
"It's just ahead, and it's ten minutes away!" Fang Dajun encouraged, the second sister was already sleepy at this time.
Except that he didn't sleep well this night, naturally nothing happened, and when he heard the second sister shouting in a daze, the sky was already dark.
"Brother, sister is going to study in the morning, don't miss the bus back to Beidou in the afternoon."
Fang Dajun hurriedly sat up, and saw that the second sister had already dressed, and the sheets on the bed next to her had been tidied up, "Sister, when will you study in the morning, I will send you a bag of rice." ”
Junior high schools in Renyi County can exchange rice for meal tickets, but high schools cannot, just because high schools already have boiler rooms for steaming rice.
"No need, you gave my sister twenty yuan."
"Of course, I'm afraid you won't be willing to spend it." Fang Dajun insisted.
"Okay, sister, I will go to self-study at half past six, get out of class at seven and ten, and start class at eight o'clock, how about you wait for me downstairs in the dormitory at a little after seven o'clock." Fang Yan said sweetly, the little brother has really changed, although he is still a little domineering, but he has become delicate, and it will hurt people.
"Well, I'll see you then!"
As soon as the second sister left, he got out of bed a little lazy and got up, he was going to leave, but in the end he made up the bed, he couldn't discredit Jiaoshan Commune, and he couldn't be lower than the second sister.
It was almost seven o'clock when he arrived outside the school, and the shops around the school were already open, and the students could have breakfast outside.
I found a relatively large buying market, spent two yuan and six cents, and bought twenty catties of rice, one dime and three catties, this purchasing power is really strong, but the rice in the county is still one point more expensive than Beidou.
I bought another pack of panda laundry detergent, five hundred grams, eight cents a pack, which is considered a luxury, thought about it, and bought a large piece of soap and a piece of soap, soap is three cents and six cents, and soap is more expensive, four cents and four cents a piece.
This is not over, and then I bought a 703 type full fountain pen, two pieces of four cents and five, silver and white is very beautiful, the quality is also the top scratch, the cheapest pen only costs seven cents and five cents, which is plastic.
In addition, there are two high-end fountain pens in the store, see his eyes shine, Yanjing 405 gold pen price twelve yuan three cents, 103 type gold pen fifteen yuan four cents, this is a genuine gold pen, the key is the collection value, although he does not know much about the collection, but Yanjing gold pen thing has heard of. Now there is no such thing as a fake, and you will definitely not lose money when you buy it.
It's a pity that he has more than a dozen yuan left on him now, and he has to return ten yuan to his mother, and the remaining few yuan will be spent when he goes back to Beidou to buy rice or something. The money of the yellow eel will not be settled until the day after tomorrow, forget it, it has been worn until eighty-two years, and I am in a hurry, and I will come to buy these "luxury goods" when I have more money.
Things are almost there, and a total of six yuan and six cents are calculated in a settlement, and the discount is five cents. Just these five cents were saved by him after he said a few good words, not because he was reluctant to pay five cents, but for the auspicious number of six or six Shun, hehe.
Looking at the money in his pocket, there are still fifteen yuan, six cents and three cents left, which is already a huge amount of money for a rural half-grown child, even in the nineties, a dozen yuan is a huge amount of money for a rural child.
Carrying rice and a small burlap bag, he followed him to the dormitory, but when he arrived at the place, he saw that the second sister was already waiting, holding a few big steamed buns in her hands.
"Brother, why did you buy so much rice and can't eat it all." Fang Yan was complaining in her mouth, but her face was very happy, she brought those more than a dozen catties of food from home, and it was only half a catty a day, and she couldn't eat enough at all.
"Why do you need a pound of rice for three meals a day, and if you can't eat it, you can take it and throw it away." Fang Dajun said angrily, take himself as an example, if he lets go of eating, there is no pressure on a meal of eight taels of dry rice, although the girl's appetite is smaller, but it is not much, now everyone can eat very much, but one pound of rice a day, the second sister can definitely eat enough.
Knowing that her brother's temper had risen, Fang Yan's tone softened, "Okay, my sister must be able to eat hard." Give you steamed buns, it's still hot. ”
"Well, you take the rice back to the dormitory first, I'll wait for you."
After handing over the things, Fang Yan exclaimed again: "Brother, why did you still buy laundry detergent, as well as soap and soap." ”
"If you buy it, you will use it, I originally wanted to buy a bottle of shampoo, but I didn't see it for sale." This is what makes him depressed, he didn't even see the most primitive soap horn in the bottle, the owner said that he had to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to sell, the big pit, the things of the supply and marketing cooperatives are expensive.
"Got it!" Fang Yan actually couldn't say how happy she was, she had wanted a piece of soap for a long time, but she didn't expect that her brother bought her a piece, and also bought soap and laundry detergent, and she didn't know who her brother learned it from, it would hurt so much.
When the second sister disappeared at the entrance of the building with the rice, he quickly took out a cigarette and lit it, took a puff of beauty, and said in his heart, at most three cigarettes a day, not more, before the crossing, he stayed up late for a long time, and could smoke two packs of cigarettes a day, he was a big smoker, and he couldn't continue to make mistakes in this life.
While smoking, I mentally pondered about the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1982 was very special, because it was the same day as the National Day, and there was only one such overlap in 19 years, and the next time was in 2001, but he was in high school at the time, hehe, messy.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival at home must be a little luxurious, and there are seventeen days of preparation time, which is enough. When he flicked the cigarette butt away, the second sister also came down.
"Let's go, let's go eat noodles, there's still time." Without waiting for the second sister to reply, he just pulled and left, he was already optimistic about the place, just at the intersection in front, just find a store with many customers.
"Don't do it, I've bought steamed buns." Fang Yan's saved surname is afraid that it can't be changed, no way, if you know that she is an eighteen-year-old girl, the previous private money is only more than four cents in total, you can understand, the girls in this period are all models of thrift and thrift, although the post-80s are more tragic, but all the mothers of the post-80s are great!
"It's okay, the steamed buns won't go bad for two days, if you don't go, then I'll buy a bowl of noodles and throw it away." Fang Dajun's temper came up.
Fang Yan immediately remained silent, his younger brother could definitely do this, it was all the stinky temper that the old man was used to.
"Don't talk when you enter the store, or I'll clean you up when you go home on National Day." Fang Dajun first took the precautionary shot.
As soon as I pulled the second sister into the store, I saw the price written with a brush on the wall, which was very simple, six points for a small bowl of somen noodles and eight points for a large bowl; The big meat noodles are two cents in the small bowl, and the big bowl is three cents. Add five points of rice and serve shochu!
This plain noodle is without filling, soju is naturally liquor, a few cents or two, with noodles to drink, it is also a local custom, and there are some that can be eaten, the noodles are not full, just add a big bowl of rice soaked in the noodle soup and eat it.
Only four cents, a bowl of half a catty of large meat noodles, a bowl of rice, one or two soju, this package is enough for the old farmers to eat full, but also to eat well, if the meat noodles are replaced with somen noodles, it is less than two cents, thirty years later, two cents in the supermarket to buy food bags containing things, can only choose the small one, because the large one costs three cents.
"Boss, come to two bowls of big meat noodles, can you add additional meat?" Fang Dajun shouted directly, and Fang Yan next to him opened his mouth, but when he thought of his younger brother's explanation just now, he immediately held back.
"Yes, two cents a piece." The middle-aged boss replied with a hot air, and the stove was open, just next to the door.
"Then each of the two bowls will be served, and they will be fatter."
"Okay, pick the fattest one for you." The middle-aged boss's face was happy, and adding two portions of meat was equivalent to him making four bowls of money by selling two bowls of noodles.
As soon as the two of them entered the table, Fang Yan couldn't help but whisper: "Brother, you can't spend money indiscriminately, you see that it's less than a day, how much money have you spent, and our production team will only give a dozen yuan for the New Year." ”
The production team is mainly based on grain, and there is not much cash, just like in the movie I watched last night, the villagers have to engage in side jobs if they want to make money, and they can only get money if they sell things, such as chickens, ducks, pigs and other livestock, etc., chickens are a piece of three or one catty, nearly half more expensive than pork, but the hen that has no food to eat grows to about five catties to the end.
Fang Dajun also lowered his voice and said: "Sister, don't worry, I also talked about a business in your school yesterday, and the steward of your canteen asked me to buy coal, how much does it cost to buy coal for eight yuan a ton, in our Jiaoshan place, there are not many other things, but coal is the top quack, you can put a hundred hearts, I can make a lot of money sooner or later." ”
"You're still talking about business?" Fang Yan's face was calm.
He didn't make this clear yesterday, so he immediately explained it in detail, and when he finished speaking, Fang Yan showed an incredible expression again, his younger brother is too powerful.
"Your face is ready, young man."
At this time, the noodles were on the table, two large bowls, and the meat on them had already covered the noodles, this amount, he couldn't eat it anyway before he crossed, but now, hehe.
"Let's eat, the money is waiting for you to go home on National Day and talk about it slowly, anyway, you don't have to save the twenty yuan I gave you!" As soon as the words were finished, it started, it was delicious, the thief was delicious, this meat was marinated, and the quality of the meat was good, it was simply endless, and the noodles below were also delicious, and it was completely possible to take it to the "China on the tip of the tongue".
"Whew!" Fang Yan also ate a lot, it is also tragic to say, she has grown so big, in addition to the school cafeteria, this is the first time to go to the restaurant, the first time she watched a movie last night, the first time she lived in a high-end guest house, the first time she had soap, the first time she had a huge amount of twenty yuan, the first time she drank soda, the first time she ......
There were too many firsts in less than a day, and all of this was brought to her by the younger brother in front of her, and her cheeks couldn't help but flush when she thought of this!
Hmm, I burped, I was refreshed, and I happily took out a dollar to settle the bill!
The second sister was in a hurry to go to class, so she didn't talk much, but when they were separated, Fang Dajun suddenly stuffed something into the second sister's arms, and then ran away in style.
Fang Yan hurriedly grabbed the thing in her hand, only to find that it was a silver-white high-grade fountain pen, a real steel fountain pen, she had seen it in the store before, it cost more than two yuan, and there were only a few classmates in the class, every time she saw her, she was envious, but she didn't expect that now she has a brand new one. My heart suddenly became hot, and I suddenly found that among the boys she came into contact with, there was really no better one than her brother......
