After the two separated, Amy asked several families in a row, and the result was still the same.

There was no way, she found a place where no one was around, went into the supermarket and got some brown sugar, and waited until the next place where it was written that she could buy fertilizer, and then stuffed the brown sugar into the salesman's hand first.

"Sister, I know it's hard to buy fertilizer now, but I've asked several places, do you know where to get it?"

With a soft hand, the salesman reminded him for the sake of brown sugar: "Don't go to a small place like ours to ask, go to the fertilizer factory." ”

"This year's fertilizer came down a few days earlier, and it was snatched up as soon as it came, and I heard that other stores are similar."

"By the way, I see that you are so young, you must be the first time to buy this thing, right? Do you know that in addition to asking for tickets and money, you also need to approve special strips and children to buy fertilizer? ”

Amy was stunned and looked at her in bewilderment.

"What's that, what's that? Isn't it enough to have that ticket and money? ”

The salesman shook his head helplessly with such an expression.

"It's true that other things are like this, but fertilizer is so sought-after that you need to approve a strip and a child to buy it, and you can't buy it privately."

"You said that you came to buy fertilizer for the village, then your village brigade will give you a certificate first, and then find a special person to approve and come down."

"After you have that strip and child, you are qualified to buy fertilizer, do you know?"

Every word fell on Amy's ears, and she felt uncomfortable listening to it.

By the time she went back to join Mingke, she hadn't come back to her senses.

"I haven't seen any strips or sons at all, could it be that the old branch secretary deliberately corrected me?"

"No, the old branch secretary thinks about the village wholeheartedly, although sometimes he is a little selfish, but he will definitely not joke about this kind of thing, otherwise what if the harvest is not good next year?"

"Think about it again, were all those things handed over to you by the old branch secretary at that time, did you say anything strange?"

Amy gritted her teeth and was silent for a long time, then shook her head at last.

"I'm just afraid that Yan Xiaoxi will do something, so I will go to the old branch secretary to get the things I want to use, and there will be absolutely no problem."

For a while, the two of them couldn't figure out why they didn't have an order, but the task still had to be completed, so they pressed this matter for the time being.

After they finished speaking, there were not many people in the supply and marketing cooperative.

Amy waited for the last customer to leave, then approached the salesperson with a smile.

"Sister, how are our hazelnut mushrooms selling?"

The salesperson's face changed when he saw them.

Amy's heart jumped, "Sister, is it not selling well?" ”

The salesman bit his lip and whispered, "We have collected things from the mountains here before, and it usually takes two or three months, or even three or four months, to sell them, because this thing only tastes good, but the big guys are still more willing to buy other things that can be eaten." ”

"And this is the first time we have collected this hazelnut, and the price given above is relatively high, so only two or three people bought it."

Amy's eyes rolled and she hurriedly asked, "Sister, are you going to get off work now?" ”

"There will be a while, but although there will be some people who will come here to buy things later, most of the good things will be robbed early, so there will not be many people at this time."

"It's okay, sister, I think they don't sell it because they haven't tasted hazelnut."

"So, see if we can set up a small stove to boil some shiitake mushrooms outside, so that they may buy some when they smell good."

Amy spoke sincerely, with a pleading tone in her tone.

The salesman looked at her sparkling eyes, and then at the thin sweat on her forehead that had been running out of her forehead because she had been looking for fertilizer, and her heart suddenly softened.

"Okay, but if you still can't sell it, I can't help you."

Amy smiled and nodded, this time stuffing her with a small packet of brown sugar wrapped in paper, which she had taken out when she was looking for fertilizer before, and she had deliberately kept an extra one at that time.

Brown sugar is a good thing everywhere, she didn't refuse, after putting the things away, she also helped Zhang Luo a stove and a small pot for ordinary people's fires.

As soon as the stove was set up, people who came home from work came to see the rarity.

"Eh, isn't this a supply and marketing cooperative, why do you still put the stove on it?"

"I don't know, I didn't have it just now."

With so many people around, Mingke's face was a little unsightly, because at that moment he thought of the scene when his mother was taken away.

Amy was closest to him and immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"If you're tired, go and rest for a while, I'll come."

As she spoke, she turned up the fire, boiled the water, and threw the washed hazelnut mushrooms into it.

That's not enough, though.

It's actually hard to make hazel mushrooms fragrant if they are boiled like this, but she can't boil a chicken on the street.

So she went to the salesperson, borrowed a bottle of old soy sauce and dripped two drops in it.

As soon as the old soy sauce went, it didn't take long for the fragrance of the hazelnut mushrooms to be completely stimulated, and the supply and marketing cooperatives were full of that umami inside and out, and then began to sell loudly.

"What is this, it's too fragrant, isn't it?"

"Grandma, I'm going to eat that, that must be delicious."

"It smells good, buy some and try it."

People who didn't buy it couldn't help but swallow when they smelled it, and then bought some back.

Not only that, people who didn't plan to buy things near the supply and marketing cooperatives also came over, and some people with better family conditions or children, elderly people, pregnant women, etc., went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy some back.

After a while, the cupboard that had been piled up was at the bottom, and even some were poured out of the pocket and sold.

When the supply and marketing cooperatives were about to close, there was still an aunt saying, "My neighbors must also like to eat this, will we have it here tomorrow?" ”

The salesman glanced at Amy with a smile, nodded and said to everyone, "We have it here tomorrow, but there are not many of them, first come, first served." ”

The way Amy struggled to sell things made her look distressed.

When it was time to close, she cleaned up the store and closed the door and patted Amy on the head hard.

"You little girl really has an idea, and you actually thought of doing this."

"Isn't this my sister willing to give me a chance? By the way, I'll go with my sister to return the stove, and we all want to thank him. ”

Amy and Mingke followed them to the person next door who borrowed the stove for them.

"Thank you so much."

Amy said as she pulled out a bar of soap from her bag, and the man laughed out loud.

"You little girl is not very old, but she talks like a little adult."

Amy accepted the compliment with a smile, then saw that it was not early, and thought about giving Mingke the money and tickets she received for the bag of hazelnut mushrooms today.

"What are you doing with this?"

"I eat and live at home, I don't need it, didn't the old branch secretary say, if we can buy hazelnut mushrooms and sell them to buy fertilizer, we will be reimbursed for food and housing."

At that time, it was decided that Mingke would go with him, and the village party secretary talked about the accommodation.

Unless the virgin is getting married these days, no girl's family dares to bring a man to the house, so she specially mentioned it.

But it's not all because he has a good heart, it's because he knows how hard it is to get fertilizer.

"We haven't been able to find a place to buy fertilizer today, and you still said that you want to use strips and seeds, how can you be sure that you can buy them?"

Amy shrugged.

"I don't believe you think we can't make a fertilizer with our two intelligences. Okay, it's not too early, you go eat and have a good rest, I'll go home first, and I'll look for you tomorrow morning. ”

After saying that, she turned around to leave, and Mingke suddenly asked: "Hey, I'm a bad guy, aren't you afraid I'll use all of such an important thing for me?" ”

In the past so many years, since he became a bad element, although the people of Mao'er Village have not done anything very excessive to him, they are actually guarding against him from the bottom of their hearts.

And he has long been accustomed to the distrustful eyes of others.

But Amy smiled and replied, "If I don't believe you, who else do I believe, we are the best partner now." ”

Mingke is her only bosom friend in Mao'er Village.

Mingke froze in place, opened his mouth but didn't say anything, until Amy's back disappeared around the corner, he touched the ticket in his hand and said, "Thank you." ”

Amy couldn't hear the sound behind her that was blown away by the wind, and she went home with the potatoes she took out of the supermarket in a good mood.

At this time, Ai's father, second sister Ai Li and younger brother Ai Qianjin were already at home.

Ellie blew up at the sight of her.

"Aren't you supposed to be in the country, what are you doing now? Do you know that you sneaked back and were discovered, and we were all going to follow and be punished. ”

Ellie deliberately made a loud noise, because she knew that this would make her mother angry, and she would be angry at Amy when she was angry.

But this time, Aimu did get angry, but not at Amy, but at her.

"What are you shouting about, do you want to eat?"

Ellie was stunned by the yell, and looked at her mother in disbelief.

"Mom, it's obviously Amy's fault, she was assigned to the countryside, and now it's not like the New Year and she's coming back, and the other people in the yard will definitely talk nonsense when they see it."

"Maybe the people in the factory will say something unpleasant, saying that our family does not respond to the call, saying that she can't endure hardship and we will protect her, and it will definitely affect my father's work at that time."

Mother listened to what Amy said to several other long-tongued women in the corridor today, so she had a good impression of her.

But for so many years, this daughter has not had any heart, and it is not easy to say on the stairs today that she will come back for dinner, so now when she heard that it might affect Ai's father's work, she immediately changed her face.

"Xiaoli is right, Xiaomi, you have dinner, let's leave early tomorrow, don't be seen and gossiped by others at home."
