Chapter 44: Selling the First Basket of Apples

Or the enthusiastic Sister Liu before, after seeing Su Mo, she shouted loudly: "Sister Su, are you here?" What are you going to buy today? ”

"Sister Liu, I'm here to buy cotton and cloth today, and I want to make a cotton jacket." Su Mo said with a smile. "I want 5 pounds of cotton, then 13 feet of cotton, and 7 feet of khaki."

"Okay, no problem. When the eldest sister finishes helping this comrade get something, I'll get it for you. Sister Liu smiled, and then quickly helped the aunt take the things and collect the money ticket.

"Sister Su, what color do you want about khaki? Just two days ago, an army green one came, and there are still some left, or not? ”

In these years, the army-green cloth is the best to sell, and this Su girl's luck is also extraordinarily good, and she can catch up with the fashionable goods every time she comes.

"Okay, then it's army green." Su Mo didn't have any big requirements.

"What color do you want for cotton? I make a padded jacket, and the white inside looks good, but it is not dirty, and the dirt-resistant of the broken flowers is a little dirty, and it looks good. ”

"Okay, then listen to your recommendation, eldest sister, and you will have broken flowers." Su Mo was very simple.

Sister Liu's eyes narrowed with laughter, and she hurriedly went to the fabric counter to take the two kinds of cloth and pull them over.

"This kind of floral cotton cloth is a little more expensive than white cotton cloth, it costs two cents and nine minutes and five feet, and 13 feet is 3.835 yuan. Khaki is 0.465 yuan a foot, and 7 feet is 3.255 yuan. It adds up to a total of 7.09 yuan plus a 20-foot cloth ticket. ”

"Okay, I want 5 catties of cotton."

"Cotton is 1.15 yuan a catty, and 5 catties is 5.75 yuan plus 5 catties of cotton tickets."

Su Mo added 15 yuan to the cloth ticket and cotton ticket to the eldest sister, and the eldest sister retrieved 2.16 yuan.

When she got married, the commune made up 16 feet of cloth tickets, and later Lu Changzheng gave her another 10 feet, and she used 3 feet to buy cloth to make pillowcases for marriage, and now she uses 20 feet, and in an instant, there are only three feet of cloth tickets left.

It's hard to get dressed these days!

At this time, the cotton was not as solid as that in later generations, so 5 catties of cotton still had some volume. Sister Liu took a big net bag and put it on Su Mo.

"Sister Su, do you need anything?"

Su Mo thought that when he helped Lu Changzheng clean up just now, he didn't have any thick clothes, so he asked, "Is there any wool?" ”

"Yes, do you want pure wool, or is it blended? Pure wool is 16.3 yuan a catty, and blended yarn is 13.94 yuan a catty. What kind of girl do you want? Sweaters woven from pure wool are warmer and softer and more comfortable. ”

"Pure wool." Su Mo said. Lu Changzheng wants to give her everything good, and she doesn't want to use bad ones for him.

"Do you knit it yourself, or do you knit it for your lover?"

"Knit for my lover."

"Then his physique, the medium and thick line is estimated to be 2.5 pounds."

"Then come 2.5 pounds."

Sister Liu smiled and narrowed her eyes, "What color do you want?" Available in black, gray and navy blue. ”

"Be gray."

"Okay, two and a half catties of wool, 40.75 yuan, 8 industrial coupons."

Su Mo gave the money ticket, and Sister Liu wrapped the yarn in a piece of newspaper, put it in the net pocket together, and then took out a few rod needles for knitting sweaters from the corner.

"These rod needles are defective products, but they do not affect the use, you fall in love with the eldest sister, and the eldest sister will give it to you." As he spoke, he wrapped it up and put it in his net pocket.

Su Mo is simply and generous every time she buys something, and Sister Liu really likes it. If there were a few more customers like Su Mo, she would be a pacesetter this year, not to mention bonuses, this honor alone would be quite honorable.

The rod needle is not worth much, so I will give it away.

"Then thank you, Sister Liu." Su Mo said with a smile.

"There are a lot of things, the eldest sister will help you take them out and put them away." Sister Liu smiled and helped Su Mo take things out.

Seeing that the big bamboo basket on Su Mo's bicycle was full, the eldest sister was a little surprised, "Yo, Sister Su also bought a lot of things." ”

Su Mo smiled, "I didn't buy it, this year, the brigade distributed some apples, and the family asked me to send them to a relative, but the person was not here today, I don't, I have to pull it back." ”

As he spoke, he lifted the coarse cloth that was covered, took out two of them, and handed them to Sister Liu.

"Sister Liu, give you a taste, I just picked it yesterday."

When Su Mo lifted the coarse cloth, Sister Liu saw the basket of big, red and watery apples, and her eyes widened.

She is obedient, she has been in the supply and marketing cooperatives for so many years, and she has never seen such a fresh and watery apple, which looks delicious.

Sister Liu took the apple in Su Mo's hand, got close and smelled it, the fruit was very fragrant and of good quality.

Sister Liu's eyes flashed, and she leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "Sister Su, do you have more apples at home?" ”

"And a few more."

"You apple, can you even Sister Even?" Sister Liu said in a low voice.

"Well, that's not good." Su Mo pretended to hesitate.

"The children in the family are sick and crying for apples every day. The eldest sister saw that your fruit was smart, and the quality was better than that of the supply and marketing cooperative. You should do the eldest sister a favor and give me some evenness. "Sister Liu said very sincerely.

"Then, how much do you want for that eldest sister?"

"Or just give me this basket, and you can save it and pull it back." Sister Liu asked thoughtfully.

"That's it......" Su Mo seemed to be very entangled, and said after a while, "Then, that's okay." ”

"Then Sister Su, come with me, my house is behind the supply and marketing cooperative, very close." Sister Liu said hello to her colleagues and took Su Mo home.

"Sister, the eldest sister doesn't take advantage of you, the apples sold by the supply and marketing cooperatives are more than four cents a catty, your apples are of good quality, and the eldest sister will give you five cents a catty."

Sister Liu's house is really behind the supply and marketing cooperative, and it only takes five minutes to walk by bicycle, and it is a bungalow with a yard.

After arriving home, Sister Liu closed the courtyard door, took a bamboo basket out, and moved the apples from Su Mo's bamboo basket into the basket one by one. After moving, it was upside down.

"This basket is about 50 catties, so it's calculated as 50 catties, how about it?"

Su Mo nodded, and Sister Liu happily counted out 25 yuan and gave it to Su Mo.

On the way to send Su Mo out, Sister Liu said again: "Sister Su, if anyone in your brigade doesn't like to eat apples, you can send them to the eldest sister." The eldest sister has many relatives, so she can send it here, send it there, and send it there, no matter how much she can send it. ”
