Chapter 45: Arrival
The two of them chatted along the way, and time passed quickly.
Xu Xiangyang intentionally or unintentionally inquired about running long distances to bring goods, and Qian Wenqing did not hide it, what did he say.
When he was halfway there, Xu Xiangyang changed positions with Qian Wenqing and asked him to drive.
This is also the reason why Qian Wenqing was so happy when he heard that he was out of the car with Xu Xiangyang.
Because they let him drive!
Usually get out of the car with Chen Jiancai, it is too difficult to drive, and people are not even allowed to touch the steering wheel.
"Brother Xu, when you get to the city, I'll invite you to have a meal first, and our subsidy won't be able to eat anything good. He happily held the steering wheel and drove steadily.
Xu Xiangyang smiled when he heard what he said, and replied: "Okay, just deduct it from the subsidy when the time comes, let's come out to make money, not to enjoy." ”
Originally, this job relied on the help of others, although he said that he taught others to drive, but in the end he owed a favor.
I was supposed to have a dinner by myself at the beginning, but I never had the chance.
Qian Wenqing smiled and didn't speak, the two of them said that they would take what they needed, but there were not many opportunities to do this.
What's more, Xu Xiangyang tried his best to teach himself to drive, but he was much stronger than before.
While talking, the two of them arrived in a town, and because the subsidy in their hands was limited, they just ate a bowl of noodles casually.
There's still a day's journey ahead, and you may not be able to reach the mountain town until midnight.
Xu Xiangyang and Qian Wenqing drove alternately, and arrived at their destination at ten o'clock in the middle of the night.
At this time, there was no one on the road, Qian Wenqing took him to the state-run hotel first, and the people on duty in the house looked unhappy.
Anyone who sleeps soundly and is woken up will definitely be unhappy.
But the two of them can't go to sleep in the car, right? It's so cold outside, how can you sleep all night and work tomorrow?
Opened room, two people in one room, two single beds.
Xu Xiangyang slept in clothes, and he was tired enough to ride in the car this day.
Qian Wenqing is not a very particular person, both of them are very arrogant, and they sleep quickly when they are tired.
The next morning, when the two of them got up, it was already seven o'clock in the morning.
There was a knock on the door outside, and Xu Xiangyang went out with him.
"Brother Zhong, have you come so early, have you eaten?" Qian Wenqing greeted the man in his thirties in front of him.
Xu Xiangyang watched them talk, and knew in his heart which department this person was.
The Food Bureau also has a purchasing department, which is responsible for business trips to buy things and the like.
Brother Zhong smiled and said, "Not yet, don't you go eat together." ”
The three of them went to the state-run hotel next to the hotel and had breakfast.
It's not hearty, it's just porridge, steamed buns and mixed vegetables.
Because everyone comes out with subsidies, they don't have the habit of spending lavishly.
After dinner, Brother Zhong took them to load the car, and then he went back first.
I didn't go back with their driver when I went back to purchase, and there were only two seats in the car, and it was too crowded for one more person.
Qian Wenqing was in a good mood and said to Xu Xiangyang: "Brother Xu, are we going to buy things separately or together?"
Xu Xiangyang didn't mean to go with him, so he said: "Split up, don't you need to go to a lot of places? ”
The main reason for coming here this time is to see, their department store over there is not all kinds of things, this place belongs to a large city, so there are a lot of things.
Qian Wenqing nodded in agreement, after all, he had to help buy a lot of things, and letting Xu Xiangyang follow was also an errand.
After the two separated, Xu Xiangyang was not in a hurry to go to the department store first.
If he wants to see the black market here, it will definitely be bigger than the black market in other places.
If you inquire about this kind of thing, you still have to look at it, Xu Xiangyang found a second-rate person, lit a cigarette for him, and told him everything.
There are two black markets in the mountain town, one that is only open on holidays, and the other that is open every day.
After inquiring about the route, he went straight to the black market.
Today is not a rest day, so there are not very many people in the black market, but there are quite a few.
It's the same compared to other cities, but they have more goodies.
There is no shortage of things like coarse grains, and fine grains are fine.
It's because there are so many things here, so everyone's demand for good things is higher.
Xu Xiangyang remembered a few pairs of leather shoes he had prepared, and then found a place to change his clothes.
Although it is impossible to have people who know you here, it is better to be insured, and be careful to sail a ship for ten thousand years.
Leather shoes generally require a ticket, no matter where you are.
When Xu Xiangyang took out his leather shoes, a group of people gathered around.
Even if you don't plan to buy it, you have to come and have a look.
Before he came, he had already inquired about the price, and he needed twenty yuan a pair of tickets.
Men's shoes cost another two bucks, and he didn't know why anyway.
Because the tickets were not easy to buy, Xu Xiangyang directly set the price of women's shoes at 23 yuan and men's shoes at 25 yuan, both of which were three yuan more expensive.
These three dollars can't buy leather shoe tickets, and everyone thinks about buying them when they hear this price.
And the yardage is a pair per pair, and it's gone when you start late.
But despite this, there is still no one to buy, and these more than 20 yuan are worth a month's salary for a person.
This means that if they buy these shoes, they will probably drink the northwest wind this month.
But just because most people can't afford it doesn't mean that no one really can.
A woman in her thirties carried a basket and pointed to men's leather shoes and asked, "Comrade, is there a size 44?"
It seems that I didn't buy it for myself, but it should be for my family.
Xu Xiangyang nodded, "Just a pair." ”
The woman asked tentatively, "Can I pick it up and look at it?"
This stuff isn't cheap, so it's worth asking.
Xu Xiangyang nodded and motioned for her to see for herself, this person's actions made him feel very comfortable, not like others, if you don't buy it, you have to touch it to see.
It's not that he sells things and doesn't let them touch, it's that some of these people are not honest, they always want to destroy, and then bargain.
Such people are really disgusting, they can't afford to buy it, they say they can't afford it, they want to bargain, they say they can't bargain, what is that for.
The woman looked at the shoes and was satisfied. "Okay, I want this pair. ”
After saying that, she directly took out the money and paid for it, put her shoes in the basket and left.
Others saw that someone had bought it, and those who had been eager to try it before began to make a move.
After all, there are only a few pairs of shoes, or one pair of one size, and if you start late, you will really be gone.
In less than half an hour, all six pairs of Xu Xiangyang's shoes were sold.
More than 100 fast in the account!
He didn't leave in a hurry, and went to the next place to buy a large piece of defective cloth.
Because it is dark blue, there are some places that are dyed unevenly, and you can't see it if you don't look closely.
This time he didn't sell anything anymore and turned around and left the black market.
