Chapter 56 Selling Fruit and Sending Manuscripts
When she got home, Su Mo first washed the dug shepherd's cabbage, transferred the hazelnut mushrooms in the bamboo sieve that dried yesterday to the bamboo pipe, and dried the shepherd's cabbage on the bamboo sieve.
The weather here is dry, and the hazelnut mushrooms that dried at noon yesterday are almost dry now, and it is estimated that they can be put away in the evening after drying them for another afternoon.
At this time, the shepherd's cabbage was not fresh and tender, and Su Mo was not ready to keep the dumplings, so she simply dried them directly to see how the cat ate them in winter.
After finishing these, Su Mo went to steam a large pot of rice, cut some ham, bacon and sausage, and fried three or four pots of vegetables.
Make more at one time, she makes meat too often and is targeted.
Although each house has its own land at the door or behind the house, the houses are also quite spaced. But at this time, the nose is very sensitive, especially for the smell of meat, you can smell the slightest bit.
Serve the portion of noon, and the rest of Su Mo will be included in the space and kept for later.
Eating steamed buns every day is also quite tireless.
After eating, Su Mo squinted directly on the wooden bench in the hall for a while, and then went up the mountain in the afternoon, ready to start looking for wild ginseng.
Each plant has its own unique energy, which is not felt by ordinary people, but for wood-based abilities, this feeling is very obvious.
Just like ordinary people look at colors, as long as they are not color blind, each color is clear at a glance.
Su Mo spent two days wandering around the mountain, and after finding the mountain closer, she began to go deeper again. After looking for two days, I didn't find the wild ginseng, but I picked up a lot of hazel mushrooms, chestnuts, walnuts and other mountain goods, that is, pheasants, I caught two, and I also picked up a few wild eggs.
On the way to the Lijiaao cowshed, Su Mo also found a closer one, which can be reached in about an hour from the mountain.
In the past two days, Su Mo has also absorbed a lot of wood-based energy, and his ability has a tendency to upgrade to the middle of the first order.
At this time, the plants have no mutations, the wood energy is very pure, and at the first order, the ability itself is relatively easy to advance.
On the 8th, after Su Mo came down from the mountain at noon, he was not ready to go up the mountain in the afternoon.
Counting the days, Su Tingqian and his wife should also go to the cowshed in the next two days, she has to go to the county first to buy another coarse cloth and make cotton clothes for them.
And her four manuscripts have also been polished, and she plans to take them and send them together today.
After lunch, Su Mo wrote a letter to the editor he knew well, telling him that he had come to the countryside in the Northeast to be a educated youth, and asked him to calculate the manuscript fee for her as much as possible.
After resting for a while, Su Mo pushed the bicycle and went out. On the way, I also met Li Cuihua.
Su Mo didn't know about the grievances between Li Cuihua and Li Yue'e, and when she saw that it was the aunt who greeted her warmly at the brigade headquarters when Lu Changzheng brought her back that day, she called out: "Auntie." ”
Li Cuihua saw that it was Su Mo, "hummed", turned her head and left.
Su Mo was inexplicable, could it be that she offended this aunt when she didn't know one day?
Li Cuihua has been unhappy for the past few days, thinking that Lu Changzheng had married a promising rural educated youth, but she didn't expect that this rural educated youth turned out to be a relative of Secretary Geng of the commune.
On the day they set up the table, Secretary Geng, as a representative of the woman's elders, was saluted. This shows that the relationship between the two families is very close.
can have a relative who is a secretary, and the Su family must not be a small family, which made Li Yue'e pick up a bargain in vain.
Why was she so shit at that time, she felt that Su Zhiqing was not good, and tried her best to match them.
It's really a recipe for stealing chickens!
I can only hope that this Su Zhiqing will be a rice worm who can't do anything in the future, so that her little daughter-in-law can still suppress her.
Li Cuihua's entanglement Su Mo didn't know, seeing Li Cuihua turn her head and leave, Su Mo also pedaled the bicycle and walked away.
Still in the remote part of the road to the county seat, Su Mo took out a bamboo basket of apples and a bamboo basket of pears that had been prepared in the space a long time ago, and hung a basket on each side of the back seat of the car.
The other bamboo basket was prepared by Li Yue'e, and there were two.
Now with a basket on one side, the bike is balanced, and it is much easier to ride than last time.
Su Mo stepped directly to the door of the county supply and marketing cooperative, looked inside, and when Sister Liu saw it, she hurriedly beckoned to her.
When Sister Liu saw Su Mo, she hurriedly prepared the things that the customer wanted, and after the settlement was clear, she came out with an excuse.
"Oh, I said sister, I haven't been here for a long time, your niece misses you." There were many people at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, and Sister Liu greeted with a smile.
"During this time, I went up the mountain to harvest autumn, and I just picked up some mountain goods and got you some to taste." Su Mo also went to the road, and came casually with an excuse.
In Qingxi County, a lot of relatives in the countryside sent mountain goods to relatives in the city, and everyone didn't think there was anything.
"Oh, what's so embarrassing, hurry up, sit at home." Sister Liu smiled and led Su Mo home.
When I entered the small courtyard of Sister Liu's house and closed the door, Sister Liu said: "Let's talk sister, why are your apples in good condition for so many days, my relatives come to ask every day." ”
"There was a delay at home, and I came right away as soon as I was free." Su Mo said.
"Both baskets are apples?" Sister Liu asked, and as she spoke, she was about to lift the coarse cloth that was covered.
"A basket of apples, a basket of pears. Do you want pears? ”
"Oh, why are there so few apples?" Sister Liu is a pity, this apple sells very well, she sells it for 7 cents a catty, and it was divided on the same day.
"This year's apples are good, everyone is reluctant to change them, so they have to keep them for themselves." Su Mo said nonsense, "This year's pears are also good, I also changed a basket, you see if you want to." ”
Although she has a lot of fruits in the space, the number of each variety is actually not much, it is best to sell it together, and if something else is sold out, there will be no time to use it when the time comes.
Sister Liu lifted the cloth of another basket, and saw that the white pear was also big and yellow, and it exuded a sweet fragrance, and the quality was no worse than that of an apple, so she immediately clapped: "This pear sister wants it too." However, this pear is a little cheaper than an apple, and the supply and marketing cooperatives sell it for 4 cents a catty, and the eldest sister will give you 4 cents and 5 cents. ”
"Okay." Su Mo has no objection, wholesale, it's not bad to have this price.
"The eldest sister bought a big scale a few days ago, and this time we will pass the scale, so as not to take advantage of you." A few days ago, the basket had two or three pounds more.
At this time, the scale was not the kind of seat scale in later generations, but a long rod with a weighing stone hanging on it, and the scale was the kind that people had to bear.
Su Mo and Sister Liu weighed the two baskets of fruits, and after removing the weight of the bamboo baskets, there were 56 catties of apples and 53 catties of pears. apples cost 5 cents a pound and earned 28 yuan; Pears are four cents and five pounds, and the income is 23.85 yuan.
Today, I earned a total of 51.85 yuan from selling fruits.
[PS. The price of fruits refers to the price of Hunan Changsha Supply and Marketing Cooperatives in 1971, and pears in the Northeast may be slightly cheaper. But the white pear itself is relatively expensive, and it is estimated that it is not much cheaper. 】
After selling the fruit, Su Mo and Sister Liu went back to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought a new piece of coarse cloth, and bought two catties of kerosene.
A piece of coarse cloth is 15 yuan, and the kerosene is four cents and two pounds, and two catties cost 0.84 yuan to increase the ticket.
Su Mo is not going to go to the black market today, she has to rush back to make cotton clothes. After going to the county post office to send the letter containing the manuscript, Su Mo rode home directly.
