Chapter 254: Gifts
The old man was shocked, "Mr. Qin is the father of your seventh aunt?" β
"yes."
Jian Yuelan bowed her head and said with a smile, "You know?!" β
"Your grandmother has seen it."
The old lady hummed, "I've seen it once, and I'm not familiar with it, it's been a long time ago." β
"This person's piano skills are really amazing."
As she spoke, she asked Jian Yuelan, "I'm a little curious about your piano skills now." β
"Don't be curious, I can only say yes, but no."
There is still a big difference between the meeting and the fine, and all walks of life can become everyone if they can do a fine word.
No, it won't work.
After flying an elephant, she said, "There will be a big gathering in a few days, do you two want to join in the fun?" β
"Go."
Once a year, you can't miss it.
The current big set is called the Great Socialist Gathering, and there are some places and some places don't.
Going to the black market is called speculation, and there is a risk of being caught.
Catch up with the market, but not.
Castle Peak Commune has a large gathering, and it is not like the island that is once a quarter.
In Castle Peak Commune, there is a monthly shopping order, and the main items bought and sold are food and daily necessities.
For example, rattan utensils, gourd scoops and other things.
There is no shortage of these things in the countryside, but there is a shortage in the cities.
And there is no shortage of industrial tickets, soap tickets and the like in the city, but there is a shortage of people in the countryside.
Therefore, the socialist grand gathering is equivalent to the legal exchange of what is and what is not.
On the day of the big gathering, Jian Yuelan and the others had just finished breakfast, and Zhang Nan and the others came to invite them to go together.
The family simply cleaned up, then took the money ticket and took them to Daji and Zhang Nan to the big set.
"Little Jane, what are you going to change today?"
"Take a look first, look at it before you decide."
"I want to buy cloth."
This is the first time that Jian Yuelan has been on the island for so long, and she doesn't know what the things sold on the set are.
Hearing Zheng Wan's words, she was surprised, "Is there still cloth on the set?" β
"Yes."
Chen Qiuju answered, "The cloth woven by the young villagers themselves is quite good-looking, but the quantity is small. β
"Gotta try your luck."
There are people with good conditions everywhere, and the island is no exception.
The big market is something that the whole island knows, and every time the big market is crowded, there are people from the county, there are also fishermen and the like.
Cloth is a scarce item, and the scarcity here does not mean that there is no one in the city, but that cloth tickets are needed to buy cloth in these places of supply and marketing cooperatives.
As for the cloth ticket, the share is basically fixed.
But the big set is different.
There is no hard and fast rule on the cloth on the large set, which can be bought with money, or you can exchange it for industrial tickets.
Therefore, the hand-woven cloth of those young villagers on the big set is basically taken out and robbed of the existence.
Knowing this, Jian Yuelan became interested, "Then I have to take a look." β
The cloth of the supply and marketing cooperatives is too ugly, and she wants to see the cloth of ethnic minorities.
The cloth woven by the ethnic minorities in later generations is particularly beautiful when made into clothes, especially the strange traditional weaving and dyeing technology of the Li nationality, which is still an intangible cultural heritage.
The weaving skills of the Li nationality have played an indispensable role in the development of China's cotton spinning technology, and promoted.
However, she was unlucky, and when she came to the stall under the leadership of Chen Qiuju and them, not to mention the cloth of the Li nationality, even the Bai nationality and other ethnic minorities were robbed of the thread.
"Is there really none?"
She didn't give up asking, the woman who didn't know Mandarin and could only speak dialect smiled at her and waved her hand, Jian Yuelan sighed, smiled back at the woman and turned around to leave.
But he came face-to-face with Uncle Atta.
"Big girl."
"Uncle Atta."
Seeing him carrying a basket on his back, Jian Yuelan greeted with a smile, "You're here to sell something?" β
"Sell bird's nests."
He took off the basket and gave it to Jian Yuelan, which contained a complete and clean-haired bird's nest.
"Give it to me, I'll buy it."
With such a high-quality bird's nest, Jian Yuelan was not ready to give up when she saw that she was happy to hunt, but Uncle Atta handed the basket to her, "Send it to you." β
"Then I don't."
Jian Yuelan retreated again and again and refused, and said in a milky voice, "Master, buy it." β
As he spoke, he took out a dime from the small pocket on the chest of his clothes, and said in a domineering voice, "I have money." β
"Don't take advantage of grandpa."
Uncle Atta suddenly cried and laughed, but he still cooperated, "Well, we have money in our pockets, so Atta Ye will sell you these bird's nests." β
"Okay."
The child nodded again and again, and handed the money to him in his little hand.
Atta took it and handed it over.
The child waved his hand, "Mom, pick it up." β
"That's not enough."
Jian Yuelan didn't answer, but pulled Uncle Atta aside to speak, "To tell you the truth, how are you going to sell these bird's nests, a dime will definitely not work." β
Xiao Doudou finally realized that he bought it cheaply, and immediately answered, "Yes, my mother is rich, but my grandfather is not provincial." β
Selling mom sells very neatly.
Atta looked at Jian Yuelan, "I'm not going to sell for money, I want to exchange tickets." β
"What ticket?"
He was silent for two seconds, and said with some embarrassment, "Industrial ticket." β
"How many?"
"Is it okay to add two dollars for five industrial tickets?"
The tone of discussion was very cautious, for fear that she would not agree.
Jian Yuelan smiled, "Okay." β
She does not lack industrial tickets, but she lacks bird's nest.
It's not that the mind of picking by herself has not moved, but after going once, she won't go a second time.
Without him, the bird's nest has to be picked.
This is a job that requires patience and care, and she might as well take it out to make embroidery when she has the time to pick hair, after all, the price of her embroidery is high.
The little money to buy bird's nest can't even talk about a fraction of her embroidery.
Therefore, there is no need to waste time, and it is easy to buy it directly.
After taking out five industrial tickets and two yuan from the small backpack in his pocket and handing them to Atta, Jian Yuelan asked him, "Uncle, do you have any extra cloth to sell in your clan?" β
Atta was a little embarrassed when she heard this, "It's sold out." β
"Weaving takes time, and every household saves for a large collection in addition to their own use, and sometimes it will be sold to the acquisition station, if you want it, you need to order, and you have to wait for a while."
Jian Yuelan asked Doudou, "Son, do you want it?" β
"Yes."
"Listen to you."
Then, Jian Yuelan asked Atta to order a ten-meter cloth.
This amount directly shocked Atta, but he didn't say anything, but nodded in response.
Jian Yuelan wanted to pay the deposit, but he waved his hand and refused, "No, we believe you." β
"You guys are shopping, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy a thermos first."
Atta, who had received the industrial ticket, couldn't wait to say goodbye and leave.
Jian Yuelan, who watched him leave, took Xiao Doudou's hand and said, "Son, what do you like to tell your mother, and your mother will buy it for you." β
"Okay."
She was satisfied, and told the old man and the old lady with the cat, "You two elders are the same, don't be afraid to spend money if you like anything, I can raise you." β
"I'm not going to save you."
After getting along for so long, the second elder who knew what her temperament was not ambiguous, and began to make big purchases with Doudou.
Then, they bought sweet-hearted abalone, prawns, dried fish, dried fruits, and other foods, as well as some bamboo, rattan, and leaf weaving items such as baskets and dustpans.
They also picked food for themselves.
They especially like that kind of large squid fillet, and when they smell it, they rely on the squid fillet seller and refuse to leave, and they don't stop meowing.
The original squid fillet is not condimented at all, it is made by washing it with water, cutting it into slices and drying it.
Except for the fishy smell of squid, there is nothing else.
Therefore, Jian Yuelan was very generous and bought a large bag for them.
When Ye Linxing came home in the evening, the man who learned that she had bought a large bag of squid fillets for the cat knocked over the vinegar jar.
"You're all thinking about buying things for cats, why don't you think about buying them for me?"
"But I've got a gift for you."
Jian Yuelan smiled, and the man looked surprised, "And a gift?" β
"Yes."
"What a gift, show it to me."
"Here's it!"
Jian Yuelan took a box and handed it to him, Ye Linxing opened it with a smile, took out the items inside and opened it, and suddenly the whole person froze.
This, thisΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
