Chen Xingling turned sideways to avoid the tractor, but the eldest brother stopped in advance.

"Little sister!" Chen Daxing replied: "We are here to find you!" I'm going to go shopping! ”

Forehead?

Chen Xingling stepped forward and asked, "What are you buying?" ”

"Poof!" With a sound, Chen Jixing jumped on the grass and walked over quickly: "Little sister, where did you buy so much cooking oil before?" ”

Chen Xingling's eyes rolled slightly, and he didn't answer and asked, "What's wrong?" Delicious, isn't it? Are you going to buy it yourself? That's enough for you to use for two or three months, what's the hurry! ”

Chen Jixing shook his head and explained: "Yesterday afternoon, Lao Luo and the others came to see me, saying that he had been sad to death recently, and he had not been able to find edible oil to buy. During the Chinese New Year, every household bought it for use, but it was no longer available in the city. He and his partner drove to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the countryside to buy it, but unfortunately they only bought about 20 catties. They walked in to see me, saw a bottle of oil on the table, and asked me where I came from. I heard my mother say that you bought it from the black market. Lao Luo said that the boat was in a hurry to go to sea, so I asked me to help buy some on the ship. Now I am in a hurry to use it, and the black city is more expensive, as long as it can make up for a sufficient amount. ”

"Oh?" Chen Xingling blurted out, "How much does he want to buy?" By the way, Lao Luo hasn't bought fried noodles for months, why don't you buy them? ”

Chen Jixing laughed and explained: "He said that you sell too expensive, and it is easy to exceed your budget if you buy too much." ”

"Really!" Chen Xingling laughed: "It's not his money!" What a distress he is! ”

Chen Jixing shook his head: "You can't say that." He is in charge of this aspect of spending, and if it exceeds the budget, the leaders will naturally blame him. He has the collective money, and he has to make careful arrangements. By the way, which black market did you buy it from? Anything else? Show us the way! ”

Chen Xingling's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked, "How much does Lao Luo want to buy?" ”

"The more the merrier." Chen Jixing explained: "This trip will take more than two months. What can be bought in China, Lao Luo will try to buy it in China, because no matter how expensive it is, it is cheaper than abroad. Originally, every crew member had a fuel ticket, but they couldn't buy it on the market, and it was useless to have a ticket. ”

If you can buy it in China, try to buy it and put it on the ship. Generally, when docking at the dock, you only need to add some fresh vegetables, fruits and fresh meat, so you don't have to spend more money and add some trouble.

Because the exchange of currency alone is occasionally enough for the leaders to run busy for several days.

Chen Xingling lowered his voice: "If you have a gas ticket, the oil will cost you a dime." But each person is worth about one or two votes a month. If it's black in the market, one or two will cost about four or five cents. ”

"How many?" Chen Jixing whispered: "Lao Luo said, it's best to come for two or three hundred catties, but you must ensure fresh and good oil." ”

When Chen Xingling heard this, he instantly became interested, and he couldn't help nodding and nodding again.

"Rest assured, the quality is absolutely guaranteed! Fragrant peanut oil, rapeseed oil, corn oil, soybean oil...... Everything you need. ”

Chen Jixing glared at her and scolded with a smile: "Blow you!" ”

"Forehead......" Chen Xingling thought of the barrels of good oil in the supermarket space, and thought of the black and greasy little wooden barrel of the village supply and marketing cooperative, "Okay, I did blow it." ”

Chen Jixing put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Let's go, take us first." ”

"No, no." Chen Xingling lowered his voice: "The other party only occasionally goes to the black market to sell, and he won't go every day." His oil was of the best quality, and it was all smuggled from the north in small boats. The inventory in his house can sometimes be hundreds of catties, which is very large. ”

Chen Jixing was amazed when he heard this: "Good guy! Don't be afraid to let people catch you! ”

"Shh Chen Xingling whispered: "If it weren't for an acquaintance, he wouldn't sell it easily." I'm a half-acquaintance with him, so I'll help you get in touch first. ”

"Time is of the essence." Chen Jixing explained: "The ship will leave the day after tomorrow, and it will have to be checked and boarded tomorrow." ”

Chen Xingling hurriedly said: "Send it to my house at noon, and then you help transport it to the ship." ”

"That's it!" Chen Jixing nodded.

Chen Xingling reminded: "You go to Lao Luo to get the money first, and pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." Good oil one or two or five cents. ”

"Can you ...... Cheap? Chen Jixing lowered his voice: "Even if one or two or three or four cents is expensive in the black city, if it is one or two or five cents, it will cost five yuan per catty." Two hundred pounds - that's a thousand. ”

Chen Xingling blinked: "The quality is very good, and the price of good things is naturally more expensive." Well, I'll make it cheaper for him, because it's a lot of money. ”

"Okay." Chen Jixing said: "I'll take Lao Luo to the Three Gardens in the afternoon. ”

Chen Xingling secretly rejoiced and said calmly: "Okay, then I'll go talk to him first, and let him send him to Sanyuan before noon." ”

"Okay, let's go, let's go." Chen Jixing smiled: "You helped Lao Luo solve his urgent needs, he will be grateful to you." Maybe he'll come back to you next time to buy fried noodles! ”

Chen Xingling grinned and said, "It's okay, there will always be a chance." ”

……

At noon, Zhao Xiaoxing made lunch and called everyone to eat.

The workers washed their hands and feet, chatting and gathered around.

Zhao Xiaoxing looked around and asked, "Brother Dali, where is my sister-in-law?" ”

"She's busy." Ma Dali replied: "She said that she would pick up Xiaohuzi in the afternoon, and let you walk back by yourself later." ”

Zhao Xiaoxing replied and drove away by herself.

At this time, Chen Xingling was wiping plastic boxes in the yard, sweating profusely.

I ran to several places in the morning, and finally bought a dozen plastic boxes of different sizes. The boxes were sealed and screwed on, and the inside was clean, but the outside was covered with dust.

Chen Xingling opened the box for ventilation, and then cleaned the outer layers one by one.

The edible oil in the supermarket space is lined up one after another, and in the warehouse, one large carton is stacked on top of another, neatly and neatly, densely piled up I don't know how many boxes.

It is estimated that the family will not need so much in her life, but she is not too arrogant to give it away, after all, the oil in this era is really difficult to buy, so she only sends her parents' parents and sisters-in-law.

The cooking oil in the supermarket is a barrel of five catties or ten catties, or a small bottle of one catty, two catties or half a catty.

The transparent packaging barrels were too advanced and too suspicious, so she went out of her way to buy a dozen brand new plastic boxes.

After scrubbing, place them one by one in the yard to dry and breathe.

Then, she wrung out twenty large buckets from the supermarket space, which were two hundred pounds.

Then, she opened them one by one and slowly poured them into the plastic bucket.

It wasn't until there was a small plastic box left and everything else was filled that she stopped to clean up.

When I hid the clear plastic empty barrel back in the supermarket space, I found that it was already more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

She fell tired and fell on the grass, blowing the cool breeze and humming a little song in the warm sun.

When it was almost four o'clock, Chen Jixing drove a tractor to carry Lao Luo.

The other party looked at the plastic buckets in the yard, unscrewed them in surprise, sniffed them carefully, poured some more, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

"It's clean and it looks fresh."

Chen Jixing's chin raised slightly, and he said proudly: "I told you a long time ago, you can put a hundred hearts on my sister's errands!" ”

Lao Luo laughed and took the initiative to shake hands with Chen Xingling and thank him.

"I was worried for several days, I couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well. Fortunately, Xiao Chen, you finally helped me solve this big problem! Thank you! Thank you! ”

Chen Xingling hurriedly said no, and said that he would help them keep the price down, and it would be a hundred yuan cheaper.

"He's busy, come back later."

Lao Luo and Chen Jixing both thought that the other party didn't want to show up, after all, the scale of the business he did was so "big" that he really couldn't come out openly.

Lao Luo quickly took out a wad of money and counted out nine hundred yuan.

"Xiao Chen, this is nine hundred yuan, please transfer it on your behalf. I have taken this favor of yours to heart. ”

Chen Xingling stopped his hand: "You're welcome, it's just a gesture." You are an old friend of my brother and often take care of my small business. As long as you ask, we can help, and we will do our best to help. ”

Lao Luo rolled his eyes and asked tentatively: "If you want to buy other things in the future, can Xiao Chen also help introduce them?" ”

"No problem." Chen Xingling chuckled: "I know several friends who are in the food business, such as rice, flour, oil, salt, etc. I was able to make so many fried noodles thanks to my friends. ”

Lao Luo suddenly raised his eyebrows and nodded hurriedly.

"Good, good! I'll have to trouble you a lot after that. ”

Chen Jixing carried boxes of oil onto the tractor, but halfway through the move, a military-colored car slowly drove up and stopped next to the tractor.

Lao Luo and Chen Jixing's faces changed instantly, and their eyes immediately panicked.
