Chapter 158 The Unwelcome Seafood
"Well, I wasn't doing well at the time. Auntie, let me introduce myself, my name is Yun Shu, people from a nearby village, these are my little friends. Of course, they're not the point, please ignore them, the point is that you see how many things you can exchange for these?"
Yun Shu put the back basket on the wooden case, fortunately, the wooden case is really workmanlike, and it is all solid wood, but even so, the weight of fifty or sixty catties is put down, which makes the wooden board on it make a "crunch" sound.
Zhao Xue was too surprised before, so she blurted out the title "black girl", and only after she finished saying it did she realize that she was a little embarrassed, but seeing that Yun Shu didn't care, and she spoke funny, she felt that this little girl was becoming more and more interesting.
In view of the previous 20 catties of noodles, Zhao Xue had high expectations for the things in the back basket that Yun Shu took out.
But she definitely didn't expect that this little guy in front of her would shoot so widely!
She only lifted a crack in the lid specially made by Yun Shu on her back basket, and quickly closed it, and said quietly on her face: "There are all such frozen fruits underneath?"
The people around also came with baskets and baskets, all of which were mountain goods, but it didn't seem that Yun Shu was special, and when they heard Zhao Xue's words, they didn't think much about it.
Just looked at Yun Shu a little curious, and whispered to discuss whose "kid" was so handsome!
Hearing this, Yun Shu became more optimistic about the character of the "aunt" in front of him, and nodded at her.
Zhao Xue wanted to take the back basket off and put it on the ground, but she didn't move it after trying a few times, she looked at Yun Shu in surprise, she didn't think much about it when she saw the little girl very relaxed before, but now she was really shocked when she changed herself.
What did you do with your little arms and legs?
Yun Shu patted the case, jumped directly inside, picked up the hemp rope on the back basket with one hand, and waved his hand to his younger brother and friends, "Help look after the stall, I'll help my aunt carry the fruit over." ”
Da Zhuang responded with a smile, and Zhao Xue, who was sluggish, called a colleague, "Xiao Li, look at it!"
There are four people on the side of the cloth stall, and they have long noticed the situation on Zhao Xue's side, although they are a little curious, but they don't say anything, that Xiao Li is a new member of the "Communicate with Nothing" team, a young man in his twenties, and he also responded very heartily.
And after walking to the truck with Zhao Xue and not seeing anyone, Yun Shu was holding the basket in his hand at the moment, "Auntie, a total of twenty catties of jerky, thirty catties of sausages, and twenty catties of white noodles," she took off the big backpack on her body, "Look at it, how much can you exchange for cotton cloth, dried meat and sausages, and for seafood?"
When the cotton cloth was in the supply and marketing cooperative, it was four cents a foot and was purchased with a ticket, but Zhao Xue and her sisters were bartering for things and scraps piled up in the field, so the price was four cents for agricultural products or mountain goods that could be exchanged for one and a half feet of cloth; if they were bought with money, it would be five cents a foot, and they didn't need tickets.
And seafood, to be honest, in this day and age, crabs and prawns are really cheap, and there are not many people who buy them.
Needless to say, the people at the beach have enough to eat, salvage it, and transport it to Beijing, where they can sell for a piece or a catty, and the remaining one or two cents may not be bought.
I heard that there are also crabs, fish and shrimp sent to the feed factory to break them up and feed them to chickens, ducks or fertile fields.
And the hinterland, especially the poor places, to be honest, don't recognize this at all.
In those days, the transportation was inconvenient, and the crabs that were salvaged were bought for a dime and a pound in Qingdao, and when they arrived at Changbai Mountain, they had to be sold for five cents, and seven cents could buy a pound of meat.
Although Zhao Xue and the others don't care about the cost of transportation, as long as they can exchange things back, so in order to keep them fresh and reduce the space they occupy, they steamed the crabs and froze them to buy.
That's it, it's also that there are too many people to change.
It's prawns, there are a lot of people who change them, not too big, there are ten of them in a catty, and they are neatly frozen in the ice mound, five cents a catty.
It is mainly the men who sell seafood who have a very slippery mouth.
"Seven cents a pound of meat, if you visit, you can't have enough for one person, but if you look at our sea shrimp, whether it's boiled or put some in the pork dumplings, anyone can taste it, not to mention, the flavor is delicious, it can definitely make people swallow their tongues!"
However, compared to crabs and prawns, marine fish is actually the most unpopular, and seaweed, sea rice, and shrimp skin are the fastest to buy.
In this case, one is because seaweed, sea rice, and shrimp skin are cheap, and these "city people" can make a pot of soup with a little bit, and they can also supplement the "calcium" of Laoshizi, which is a good thing;
The second is this place in the Northeast, there are many rivers and blisters, there are fish in any ditch, and when there is nothing to eat, they go into the water to touch the fish, lack of oil and less salt, and everyone is injured.
In the eyes of the common people, this sea fish is also a fish, and they really don't want to eat it.
Yun Shu doesn't know much about this situation, Zhao Xue is obviously still clear about the lives of ordinary rural people, and now they finally know, it is better to bring seafood than to bring a cart of salt!
"My surname is Zhao, you can call me Aunt Zhao. I'll count you twenty feet of cotton cloth for you. I'm sending you a few other ingredients. As for this meat, to be honest, all the seafood that will be pulled will be given to you, and it may not be able to exchange you for this basket. ”
Three catties of fresh meat can be dried into one catty of jerky, and ten catties of fresh meat can produce two or three catties of sausages.
Twenty catties of jerky and thirty catties of sausages, that is nearly 160 catties of meat.
Yun Shu sold a pound of wild boar meat to a state-run restaurant, no ticket, it was a piece of five, in fact, it was a bit of a loss to make sausages and jerky.
Seeing that she was so realistic, Yun Shu thought for a while and said, "Aunt Zhao, let's do it, if you have rich food stamps and these jerky, I will count you three yuan and a catty, half for things and half for money." ”
When Zhao Xue heard it, she smiled and said, "Yun Shu, you wait, I'll ask." ”
It's not that no one exchanges meat for fabric, but such a large amount of money is really rare, and they originally wanted to see if they could use the money to buy some meat from their fellow villagers.
The fresh meat on the black market costs two and five, and now this jerky only costs three pieces, what a real little girl!
After a while, Zhao Xue came over with a middle-aged man in his forties, "This is my colleague, his surname is Wang, you can call him Uncle Wang." Lao Wang, take down four boxes of crabs, two boxes of prawns, and a hundred catties of sea fish from the car, and you can also clean up the other miscellaneous things. ”
Lao Wang, of course, this is from a neighboring province, not next door, he glanced at Yun Shu curiously, and then said to Zhao Xue: "Xiao Zhao, there are so many things, how can this little girl take them back?"
Zhao Xue thought of this question at this time, Yun Shu waved his hand at her, "Aunt Zhao, Uncle Wang, my uncle came with a donkey cart, but there were too many people in the big set, and the donkey cart couldn't get in." When the collection is dispersed, I will ask my uncle to come to you. My uncle's surname is Tong and he wears a black coat. ”
Zhao Xue took out a push of tickets and tickets from her pocket, "Then are these money and tickets for you or for your uncle?" A total of 100 yuan and 15 catties of food stamps. ”
In her hand was a thick pile of one-dollar and two-dollar bills, and they were both second and third.
Food stamps are the kind that is common throughout the country, and there are one or two, half a catty, and one catty.
Yun Shu took it, "Give it to me, my uncle doesn't know how to count, and he doesn't know how to speak, the thief is honest, Aunt Zhao, you look at the care point!"
Zhao Xue couldn't help but reach out and wipe Yun Shu's hair, "How do you look like this little girl's head!"
