Chapter 22 Don't go to the countryside to pick onions

I hope that I can get a little luckier, and all of a sudden, I can get enough of what I need.

A lonely waiting room made of red brick houses on the edge of the tracks.

Inside sat a man in uniform.

Outside the waiting room, whether it is on both sides of the track or in the corridor, it is full of people.

They were all big bags and small bags, and some of them were carrying quilts and buckets on their backs.

It's really crowded!

Looking up at the wall clock in the waiting room, it showed that the time was just past 1 o'clock, Su Qiaoqiao wandered around for a long time, and finally found a corner to sit down and rest.

Probably because I didn't sleep well last night, the sun shone on my body warmly, making people drowsy.

"Oh! Sorry comrade! ”

Su Qiaoqiao was hit by a passerby, and when she heard the apology of the visitor, Su Qiaoqiao was still confused.

Apparently he hasn't woken up yet.

The person who had just apologized was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed neatly and neatly, with a black bag in his hand.

The man was also looking at Su Qiaoqiao, and seeing that Su Qiaoqiao hadn't replied in a daze for a long time, he frowned slightly and walked away quickly!

Su Qiaoqiao looked at the man in a daze, walked to the corner, leaned down and whispered something to a man squatting there.

After a while, the two of them left together for a short while, and when the man returned.

There was an extra bag of stuff in the other hand.

Well? Su Qiaoqiao immediately came to the spirit.

Just now, she had been wandering around alone for a long time, and she hadn't figured out the doorway.

At this moment, she finally met her.

Su Qiaoqiao hurriedly wrapped the scarf tightly, only revealing a pair of eyes, leaned over and squatted beside the man, and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, is there any food?" ”

The man looked at Su Qiaoqiao vigilantly, then nodded again, and took out a small handful of things from his arms.

"Five cents a pound."

It's cornmeal, Su Qiaoqiao inquired at the grain station before, and the supply price is nine cents.

The price here is so expensive!

However, my own space is full of polished rice, and this kind of food is too expensive, and it is too eye-catching to give away or give gifts.

It's also good to change some cornmeal yourself.

In the future, if there is a useful place, there will always be a source for yourself.

"I'll exchange polished rice for cornmeal with you, how can I change it?" Su Qiaoqiao took out the rice that had been packed in a nylon bag in advance and covered it with a satchel to show her.

The man shook his head, "Huh? Don't change! ”

How much grain has been confiscated from the crops in the fields this year, and there is a famine at home!

Now there is such a saying in the market, "Seventh-level workers, eighth-level workers, don't go to the old man in the countryside to pick onions!" ”

The family can't open the pot, this bit of food is a family that is waiting for help, how can it be exchanged for fine grain to satisfy hunger.

The man said that he wouldn't change anything, and Su Qiaoqiao could only give up!

She could only go to others and ask, and finally grinded her mouth dry before she got it!

exchanged one pound of polished rice for five pounds and two taels of cornmeal.

After walking around like this, Su Qiaoqiao also figured out the price of some basic grains.

At the train station, there are very few people who can afford to eat fine food.

She didn't delay any longer, and left the train station and walked all the way back to town, stopping in front of a small school.

It's supposed to be lunch break.

From a long distance, I could see a few teachers washing lunch boxes in front of the pressurized water well, talking and laughing.

Su Qiaoqiao was a little hesitant to think about whether she should go in or not.

"Comrade, who are you looking for?" The people now are probably quite enthusiastic, and a female teacher who looks quite young came to ask Su Qiaoqiao, thinking that she was looking for someone.

Now that he has made a plan, Su Qiaoqiao no longer hesitates.

Directly asked in a whisper, "Teacher, do you want to refine rice?" ”

The young female teacher glanced at Su Qiaoqiao in surprise, probably thinking that Su Qiaoqiao's voice sounded quite immature, and she was a girl, so bold.

However, she quickly regained her composure, and at the same time lowered her voice and asked, "Girl, how are you going to sell it?" ”

When Su Qiaoqiao saw the female teacher's reaction, she knew that this was a common transaction.

So he said the rhetoric he had planned before, "Teacher, I am a fine rice, and my family has saved it with great difficulty, and now, I will give you a little cheaper, three cents a pound of rice, and four taels of food stamps." ”

This time, Su Qiaoqiao learned well and knew that he was going to exchange for food stamps.

And the young female teacher was not in a hurry to speak.

It's been a terrible year this year!

Usually, she secretly buys food from the black market and goes home to make up for it.

I went a few times, but I didn't buy it, and I was almost recognized.

But for the sake of food, he had to go.

Everyone in the family is waiting for this food to save their lives!

Come to think of it, their family hadn't smelled rice in a few years.

Thinking that he went to the county town to run errands last year, he had to eat a bowl of noodle soup in a state-run restaurant for two taels of food stamps.

What's more, if a pound of rice is cooked and drunk at home, mixed with some wild vegetables or something, how can you eat it five or six times at home, and it will cost a total of four taels of food stamps.

Fine grains are eaten by the elderly and children, and they are also easier to digest.

"Girl, how much rice do you have?" The female teacher asked excitedly, thinking to herself, no matter how much rice this girl had, she would want it.

However, I also know that I can't make a noise about this, even if I am excited, my voice is very low.

"I'm only about twenty pounds here, but I still have some pork here, do you want it?"

Su Qiaoqiao was ready to change more money, and thought that this female teacher was quite reliable.

So, I said that I had flesh on my body.

The female teacher was even more surprised when she heard Su Qiaoqiao say that there was still pork, but she immediately reacted, "Yes!" Both! How much pork do you have? ”

"The pork is about eight pounds." Su Qiaoqiao didn't know if he could change it out before, so he didn't prepare too much.

Besides, she can't fit that much in this backpack.

Putting twenty catties of rice, plus these eight catties of pork, is already the limit.

"How do you sell this pork?"

Su Qiaoqiao used to sell rice, and he really didn't know the price of this pork.

However, compared with the price of grain, it should be much higher.

Su Qiaoqiao then said tentatively, "The pork is too expensive, if it weren't for my family waiting for money, I wouldn't be willing to take it out." Otherwise, you can give four yuan a catty, plus four taels of food stamps! ”

The female teacher gasped at first, and then thought that her family was all on food.

The money stays in the pocket, and usually even if you have money and food stamps, you can't get food.

This time, I finally ran into her.

Even if it was expensive, she had to buy it.

So she gritted her teeth and said, "Girl, you just wait here, I'll go get the food stamps right now!" ”

After the female teacher finished speaking, she turned around and ran quickly into the school, for fear that she would run slowly, this girl didn't wait for her, what should I do?
