Go into town alone
Xia Lan observed when she went out, she was in this Shangwa Village, about 100 households, her family lived in the easternmost part of the road is very close to the road, her village is closer to the county seat than the town, five kilometers away from the county seat, and it will take more than half an hour to walk.
Because most of the people now have nothing to do shopping, so Xia Lan Road is deserted, there are basically few people, until the county seat is a little lively, the county houses are mostly brick houses, there are one or two two-story buildings, most of them are government office compounds.
The original owner rarely comes to the county, or followed her mother to visit during the New Year, the approximate direction is still known, the specific is not very clear, anyway, the county is not big, she first went shopping and inquired about the price.
Xia Lan decided to go to the black market to open first, and the location of the black market was still found by a sneaky man who carried a bag, Xia Lan first found a place to carry a person and put on makeup, and then learned from the person in front of her to put on half a catty of white noodles for the man guarding the intersection, the man glanced at her and waved his hand to let her in. Wear a bag with 10 catties of rice, 20 catties of white noodles and 2 catties of dried noodles, carry the bag to the side of the road in the black market, and squat down like others to expose the gaps in the bag, so that people can see the contents inside.
As soon as the thing was revealed, a lady came over and asked, "What is the price of this flour?" ”
"One dime and five pounds" Xia Lan inquired, generally flour sells for one dime and two catties, she is not easy to buy fine noodles, of course it is more expensive, and there is no food stamp purchase system yet, so there is no need for food stamps.
"You're cheaper, I'll buy more, okay?" The old lady saw that she was young, so she must be easy to talk.
Before Xia Lan could speak, a man in a tunic came over and said, "How many?" I'm going to do it all. ”
The old lady was anxious when she heard this: "No, I'll come first, I'll buy it first." Such fine food is not easy to come by, and she is ready to buy it back to improve the lives of her son and eldest grandson.
Aunt Xia Lan: "Auntie, how much do you buy?" ”
The eldest lady thought for a while and said, "Two catties, no, three catties"
After weighing and handing it to the eldest lady, she weighed it and felt heavier than she thought, and paid the money and left.
At this meeting, there were several people around, and when they didn't often see fine white noodles, they all wanted to buy some to go home to improve their food.
Xia Lan asked, "Uncle, how much do you want?" Not only white noodles, but also rice, somen noodles, and brown sugar. While no one was looking, she added something inside.
"What's the price?" Someone asked
"One and a half cents per catty of rice, three cents of dried noodles, and one cent of brown sugar." Xia Lan quoted the price.
"I want a pound of sugar"
"I want two catties of rice"
"Bring me a pound of white noodles"
………………
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, come one by one."
Twenty minutes later, Xia Lan said to the others, "If you don't buy it, I'll come back in two days." Then left in style, in order to prevent someone from following her, she deliberately turned a few more times, to make sure that no one was following, and then entered the space to count the money she had just earned, thirty catties of flour, thirty-five catties of rice, five catties of dried noodles, ten catties of brown sugar, total: twelve two cents and five cents, the first time she didn't dare to get more, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
With two yuan, two cents and five cents, Xia Lan began to go shopping in her heart, first found a restaurant for lunch, ordered a braised pig's trotters for eight cents, a green vegetable for five cents, a bowl of rice for two cents, and ate a beautiful meal, and then went to the barber shop and spent seven cents to cut Comrade Liu's hairstyle of the same style, and gave the barber a rainbow fart during the haircut, and then cut the ideal hairstyle according to what she said. Her hair used to be dry and frizzy at the ends, and she didn't like to comb one big braid or two braids, which was still so neat.
After cutting her hair, she went to the West Street factory to go around and continue to make a fortune, and by the way, she saw if there were any recruits.
After asking around the factory, I found that there was no recruitment at all, so I went into the space to make a change of clothes, continued her journey to make a fortune, carried a bag into the family home, looked for the kind of family that looked solid at home, went in under the pretext of drinking water, and then repaired the plank road to the dark Chen Cang ......, when I drank water at an Aunt Zhao's house, I heard an old lady crying next door, and asked what was going on?
Aunt Zhao said, "Hi! That is the old lady of the family of the deputy director of the food factory, her daughter-in-law gave birth to four girls to have a baby grandson, last night sick and sent to the hospital, the doctor said that what meningitis can not be cured in the county, and said: Even if you go to the city and the province, you still need some imported medicine to be cured. ”
"Penicillin" Xia Lan remembers hearing this name when she used to watch period dramas.
"It seems to be this name, oh my God, her little treasure is only five years old, alas!" Aunt Zhao sighed after speaking.
After Xia Lan came out, she looked around to make sure that no one had entered the space, she turned on the computer and asked, "Xiaobai, can I buy medicine?" ”
"Yes! It can be purchased in the store of certain systems. Verno flew over and replied
Xia Lan didn't know what kind of medicine penicillin was, and after searching, she found out that it was penicillin, so she immediately placed an order and bought a hundred sticks, each of which was only three yuan, but in this era, many people couldn't afford it, so she bought some other first-aid drugs for backup.
After letting Xiaobai change the label, she took two boxes of penicillin in the bag, and then walked quickly to the house of Deputy Director Wu, and saw a gray-aged old lady sitting on the stove wiping her tears, and saw Xia Lan stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Xia Lan walked up to her and whispered, "I have penicillin."
The old lady grabbed Xia Lan excitedly and said, "Really? Are you telling the truth? ”
Xia Lan nodded, "Really." Then he showed her the medicine.
The old lady snatched it and grabbed it in her hand and said: My precious grandson is saved, saved, and then said to Xia Lan: "We will buy as much as you want, and if the money is not enough, I will borrow it and make it up for you." ”
"Let's go to the hospital now, your grandson is still waiting for medicine?" Xia Lan looked at the old lady and said.
"Yes, yes, hurry up, don't delay" After speaking, the old lady took Xia Lan's arm and walked out, walked to the door and turned around to say to an eleven-year-old girl in the yard: "Big girl, grandma goes to the hospital, you take care of your sister at home."
On the way, Xia Lan explained to Mrs. Wu that she didn't say that she took the medicine when she went out, and then went to the hospital together.
