"No, no, it's not this, I just want a notebook, because there will be more and more goods this time and in the future, and sometimes I can't remember it. So I want to write it down so I can sort it out. ”

"Oh, I see."

"Then take this, I'll give it to you." Boss Chen took out a black notebook from under the paving, opened it and opened it to see a map of China, and then opened it to a calendar. Heavy, Yang Liufang liked it very much after seeing it.

"Brother, I have money, I can't always ask you to send things."

"I know you're making money. But this doesn't cost money, what I gave you is a reward for the two orders just now. ”

"Well, then I'll ask for another pen."

"I'm looking for you. You use this, this is called a rollerball, just popular, ballpoint pen look, but with the effect of a fountain pen. ”

"Thank you, brother." Yang Liufang took it with both hands. Spread out the notebook and write it on the first page

"Purchase order", and the date added: 26 October 1986.

Soap: 200+30

Toothpaste: 40

Toothbrush: 60

Needle and thread: 30 sets (small and many)

......

After writing it full, I thought about it carefully, looked at it a few more times, and found that there was no longer anything missing, so I handed it to Boss Chen.

"Woohoo! So much! I'll have to write you a purchase order. Boss Chen put down his notebook and went to the stall to get a stack of blue purchase orders with carbon paper, and under the purchase list was a plastic plate, which was connected together with a clip. Boss Chen copied them down one by one, and when he copied "30 sets of needlework and thread (much smaller)", he asked, Yang Liufang: "Brother, what does this mean?" ”

"Oh, brother, I did a purchase and sale activity, bought toothpaste and toothbrushes and gave two needles, but they all wanted small needles, and no one bought large ones. When I came back, I encountered a sandstorm and blew it away, or it was just like you said. ”

"Oh, I see. In this way, you can disassemble it yourself, pick out the small ones, and I will prepare other goods for you. ”

"Okay, brother." Yang Liufang happily agreed.

Boss Chen continued to copy until he wrote a purchase list before stopping. Hand the notebook to Yang Liufang along with the purchase order.

"Come on, brother, do you see right, what is missing?"

Yang Liufang took it, read it one by one, and thought about it carefully: "Brother, add a cigarette." The last time I sold goods, I found that this open road is better. ”

"Okay, you fill it out yourself. By the way, brother, do you want another 206 pieces of soap on December 26th, or as much as this time? ”

"Brother, 206 is certain, I'll buy the scattered ones separately." Yang Liufang said as he handed the purchase order back to Boss Chen.

"Okay, so I can reserve the goods for you early."

"Squeaky Gini (Wenzhou dialect: thank you), brother."

"Deputy Yakaqi (Wenzhou dialect: you're welcome), brother, I'm going to stock up."

"Do you want my help? Elder brother. ”

"No, we'll pick the needle together later."

Boss Chen went to stock up, Yang Liufang picked up the notebook and flipped through the full page. On the back, I just wanted to write "woodworking tools", and the word "wood" was just written horizontally, and after thinking about it, I directly divided the note in half, roughly opened it from the middle, and re-wrote: purchase list, October 26, 1986.

Woodworking saw: 1 piece.

Chisel set: (No. 1-4)

Claw mace: 1 pc.

Ink fountain: 1 (with line).

Ink: 1 bottle.

......

It wasn't until I finished writing all the nails of 1-6 cm and filled them with two sheets that I breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, Boss Chen also coded the goods.

"What to write? So seriously. ”

"Oh, brother, I promised to make furniture for a leader's house, list the tools used, you see, where to buy these equipment?" As he spoke, he handed over the notebook that had been written with both hands.

Boss Chen took it and looked at it carefully: "Brother, these are industrial products of yours, and we don't have them in the market, so it is estimated that you have to go to the state-owned supply and marketing cooperatives." ”

"State-run supply and marketing cooperatives?"

"Yes, you see our market, which is also subordinate to the supply and marketing cooperative, but it is rented to us merchants, and the supply and marketing cooperatives are only responsible for management, but we sell daily necessities. And what you want, like these tools, hardware, etc., are all industrial products, which are directly operated by supply and marketing cooperatives. ”

"Oh, brother, I read in the village department of one of the villages where I sell things, and I read that the "People's Daily" said that the Ministry of Commerce should increase its efforts to let industrial products go to the countryside, is it that we will also have the opportunity to sell these things in the future."

"According to the newspapers you read, then we should be able to sell these department stores, but when the policy is implemented to our level, I don't know how long it will take?"

"Oh, then brother, where is the supply and marketing cooperative?"

"The city is in Xiguan Cross, but you have too many and heavy things, you can go to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the north of the city to see, anyway, the price is the same."

"Oh, brother, I'm really not familiar with this city, please help me show me the way."

"Yo, the supply and marketing cooperatives in the north of the city should be not far from Yantan where you often go to change cars, after a while we pick up the needle, I will send you to the station you take the train, you also go to Yantan to store the goods to your vegetable farmer uncle, and then take the car back to sit four stops, and then transfer to No. 31, to the north of the city supply and marketing cooperatives, but after buying these tools, you can only take a taxi back."

"Oh, that's okay, there is input to produce it! But I still have to go to Xinhua Bookstore first. ”

"What are you doing there? Buy books and go to university? ”

"No, no, Brother said it was funny, I graduated from junior high school, what kind of university was I admitted to. But I did go to buy books, to buy books on carpentry. ”

"It's better to waste that money than to do business."

"Alas! Brother, you know that I followed the master to learn carpentry skills, less than two years, the exquisite furniture has only seen the master do, I have not started, especially the mortise and tenon structure, the theory is half-understood, there is no practice at all, so I want to temporarily hold Buddha's feet. ”

"Oh, it's a good idea, sharpen the gun in battle, it's not fast!"

"Xinhua Bookstore? ...... Xinhua Bookstore, you take No. 23 Road, go to the provincial capital street, diagonally opposite the provincial government is the largest Xinhua bookstore. ”

"Okay, brother, squeaky gini (Wenzhou dialect: thank you!) ）”

"Deputy yelling Kaqi (Wenzhou dialect: you're welcome), brother, go quickly, go early and return early, don't miss the car. I'll pick these needles myself. ”

"Well, brother, if you bother, I'll go."

After Yang Liufang finished speaking, he hurriedly walked outside the market, and just arrived at the entrance of the passage, he remembered that he had to go to Lao Zhou, and this time he must buy a pair of shoes and a set of work clothes to change and wash. It was already late autumn, and Yang Liufang was still wearing summer slippers, and the slippers were still patched.

He almost trotted all the way to Lao Zhou's stall.

"Boss Zhou."

"Xiao Yang, why are you here, your friend hasn't heard from him yet, so he probably hasn't come yet."

"Boss Zhou, I know, this time it's not for him, I want a set of work clothes and a pair of shoes."

"Don't worry, speak slowly, I have the number of your overalls, how big should the shoes be? What is it used for? ”

"Oh, look at my head, I'm so anxious, Boss Zhou, I use shoes for carpentry work, and I wear them every day."

"Then wear this, old Jiefang, strong and durable, and the soles of the shoes are still soft." Boss Zhou took out a sample of a pair of army green liberation shoes and handed it to Yang Liufang to put on.

"Okay, I'm not trying, 40 yards. I'm in a hurry to go to Xinhua Bookstore now, you can help me deliver my clothes and shoes to Boss Chen, and I'll settle them for you. ”

"Oh, okay, then you can go quickly."

"Okay, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Yang Liufang said as he ran towards the exit of the market. According to the route pointed out by Boss Chen just now, I got on the No. 23 bus and went to the provincial government street station one stop at a time. After getting off the bus, not far away is the gate of the Xizhou Provincial Government's classical three-open vermilion lacquer palace gate, and opposite is the building of Xinhua Bookstore.

Yang Liufang crossed the zebra crossing, walked into Xinhua Bookstore along the sidewalk, there were not many people, rows of bookshelves, were stacks of neat books, and the rich fragrance of books filled the entire space, Yang Liufang was a little intoxicated. Because it was the first time to walk into such a large bookstore, I was still a little shocked in front of the vast sea of books.

I walked up to the counter and asked the neatly dressed waiter, "Teacher, I want to buy a few books on woodworking and classical furniture." ”

"Oh, wait a minute, carpentry books, oh, you go to the 101-108 bookshelf in the north area on the second floor to pick it up."
