Back to the era with space materials

That's the candy she usually eats. It's the same kind of candy she gives to Hegu, Sanya and the others. In this day and age, you can tell just by looking at the packaging of this candy that it's not cheap.

Zhang Yuemei was heartbroken, but Si Ningning also had a sweet mouth, and said happily: "This candy is not easy to get. I just heard that the granddaughter of the director's family is having a birthday, so I can give the child a sweet taste."

Making small changes and giving gifts are both ways to facilitate transactions, but they are essentially different.

For example, the rice and roast duck sold by Si Ningning are not expensive according to the market price, but they can be bought at a lower price. It just depends on the quality.

The buyer is willing to pay for it because he knows it is worth the money. Whether you give him a small change or consider it a little cheaper, it will only make people feel that he is taking advantage.

But if you calculate the price normally and give something extra as a gift, the effect will be different.

Because, give away = get for free.

Sometimes a gift of one or two cents can make buyers happier than a direct discount of five cents.

Zhang Yuemei is this kind of person.

"Little comrade, you have such an amazing mouth... Okay, I'll take all of it!" Zhang Yuemei hesitated for a moment, then suddenly smiled, but in the blink of an eye, she stared at Si Ningning shrewdly again, "You said, this rice weighs four kilograms

Eight taels, the roast duck is nearly four pounds, it can’t be wrong, right?”

"If you seek long-term business, you will never be deceived."

"We are all from a big revolutionary family, I will trust you once." Zhang Yuemei sighed with a smile, took out a rolled handkerchief from her trouser pocket, slowly opened the handkerchief and counted a stack of bills and handed it to the Secretary.

Ning Ning, "It's five yuan and four cents in total, please see if the number is correct."

"Yes, I'm watching! Nothing can go wrong."

After handing over the money and delivering the goods, the rice bag still had to be returned to Si Ningning. Zhang Yuemei went upstairs while Si Ningning waited downstairs.

In fact, Zhang Yuemei still felt a little confused.

Holding the things in her hands, she felt that the weight was not a big problem, but she was afraid of missing one or two taels. For this reason, after going upstairs, Zhang Yuemei stood at the corridor window and glanced down, and saw that Si Ningning was still standing there.

In that shadow, my heart relaxed slightly.

The fact that people are still here shows that it can withstand scrutiny.

Zhang Yuemei opened the door and entered the house. Three men in the house were sitting at the table drinking tea and talking. When they heard the movement, they all looked towards the door.

Fu Hongshu loves his wife, daughter, and grandson. He is a big business owner who frequents the black market. He has experienced similar situations many times, so Zhang Yuemei is particularly comfortable in dealing with them.

She directly lifted the thing, raised it to Fu Hongshu, smiled and scolded: "Look at you, old thing, you are still angry with a child. The sun is so strong that people stand downstairs to bask in it. When I get back, my aunt

The uncle who is designated to jump and scold you doesn't feel sorry for your nephew at all."

Fu Hongshu entered the scene in a second and said with a straight face: "I called him just now, but that kid ignored me. Tell me, do you want me, an elder, to bow to him?"

The Fu family couple sang together. Fu Hongshu was downstairs just now. Fu Hongshu was talking to Si Ningning, but Si Ningning did not follow him upstairs. Zhou Limin and his son had no doubts at all. At the same time, they constructed a story about the cause of the incident in their minds:

There is probably a quarrel between the uncle and the nephew. Both of them are stubborn and neither of them will bow their heads.

That boy didn't go upstairs with Director Fu, and he didn't even give Director Fu anything.

This is not giving face to my uncle, but only recognizing my aunt!

Zhou Limin smiled and said a few words: "Young and energetic young people have come this way. They will be fine in two years."

Zhang Yuemei smiled and said nothing. She entered the kitchen from a dead end and took out the steel scale, weighing the rice and roast duck. Zhang Yuemei's eyes widened at this weighing.

Good guy!

Not to mention lacking a jin or a ounce of gold, I can't even stop weighing Tuo!

This time I really took advantage of it!

Zhang Yuemei's brows were filled with joy, and her hands could not stop trembling with joy.

Zhang Yuemei hurriedly poured the rice into the rice jar, fearing that a grain of rice would remain. She shook the rice bag again and again. Finally, she grabbed two handfuls of the pumpkin seeds fried the night before and stuffed them into the empty rice bag. Then she walked out of the kitchen with her bag in hand.

.

"Hey, the child is still waiting downstairs. I'll pack some fried melon seeds for his mother. Master, please sit with the guests first, and I'll go upstairs to cook in a while."

"Okay, go ahead and don't really heat that little kid up."

Zhang Yuemei turned around and went downstairs to hand the rice bag to Si Ningning. Si Ningning weighed the contents and before he opened the small opening to take a look, Zhang Yuemei told the truth that the rice bag was filled with fried melon seeds for Si Ningning to eat and play with.

In the less affluent era, frying melon seeds was also a sign of sincerity.

Si Ningning roughly understood what Zhang Yuemei meant, nodded and put it in the basket, "Auntie, come back. Next time I have something, I'll come to you first."

The smile on Zhang Yuemei's face became even bigger, and she followed two steps behind, "You still don't know what your little comrade's name is?"

What's it called...

Si Ningning's steps slowed down.

I definitely can't tell you my real name.

Just when Si Ningning was hesitant about choosing a nickname to fool her, Zhang Yuemei misunderstood because of her hesitation just now, "It doesn't matter if it's inconvenient to reveal. Next time you come, if anyone asks, just say

Your name is Jidong, Chen Jidong."

Si Ningning looked puzzled, and Zhang Yuemei explained with a smile: "This is the name of my aunt's son."

Si Ningning immediately understood that she was asking her to send something in the name of her nephew!

Traveling among relatives to give gifts is not considered opportunistic.

"I understand, Auntie, come back!" Si Ningning threw the basket on his back with a wave of his hand, and walked out of the alley briskly.

What I got this time was just over five yuan, which was certainly not enough for Si Ningning’s trip.

Seeing that half a day had passed, Si Ningning couldn't help but quicken his pace.

She had a new target location, which was the rubber factory mentioned in the conversation between Director Fu and the father and son.

Si Ningning didn't know the exact location of the rubber factory, so he could only ask people when he saw it along the road.

People only thought that she came from the production team in the town to find relatives, but they didn't know that the person in front of them was a traitor.

The rubber factory was not located in the town block, but like the previous black market, it was far away from the main street of the town. Si Ningning walked for forty minutes before crossing the last alley and arriving at the back door of the rubber factory.

At this time, the lunch break was over, and the workers in the rubber factory took advantage of the last ten minutes to rush from the dormitory to the factory. Si Ningning was looking for this ten-minute gap.

What she didn't expect was that there was another villain who came here before her.

And it's not just one or two, there are six people in total including her, and one of them looks familiar, isn't it the monkey head?

Si Ningning was carrying a basket on his back, and was wearing a mandarin jacket that wished it was so white that it could shine. It was completely different from the jackets that people in this era were stained yellow with sweat and stained with dust. The moment he almost stepped out of the corner, he was attracted by

The eyes of most people in the back alley.

The workers in the rubber factory only glanced at him and then looked away, continuing to bargain with the pimps. The men seemed to be focusing on business, but in fact four of them looked sideways and looked at Si Ningning warily and unkindly.

Obviously, they had deduced Si Ningning's identity, and they were not very willing for anyone to join in and take a piece of the pie from them.

Si Ningning slowed down his steps for a moment, then put the basket down from his shoulder and walked slowly into the alley with the basket in his hand.

One of the bosses couldn't stand anymore, so he said to another tall boss: "Brother Yang, do you want to..."

The words were not finished yet, but what did they mean? Everyone was shaking.

The speaker was a little boy with a crew cut of over 1.6 meters. When he said this, he carefully looked at him. The new boy was quite tall, but very thin. If he wanted to fuck him, he would be 80% capable.

Beaten.

The thin, tall and tall Si Ningning had already found a suitable place to stand and prepared to set up a stall, completely unaware of the man's plan.

When Heitou heard what his fellow boss said, he immediately waved his hand and laughed, "No, Brother Huang, I know our own people! They are all our own people, and he has a lot of good things in his hands, which may be helpful to us in the future... You can't do it, really."

You can’t do it!”

The others in the group still looked unkind, and the monkey head once again said, "If you are unhappy, I will go over and talk to him!"

After saying that, before his companions could reply, the monkey head had already run towards Si Ningning.

"You are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. You have just been in Bahe Town for two days and you dare to come here!" This was the first thing the monkey said when he approached Si Ningning.

Si Ningning nodded as a greeting, and then asked: "Is there anyone who has a monopoly on this area?"

The monkey head nodded slightly and glanced sideways at the people behind him.

Si Ningning took advantage of the situation and looked over.

She had noticed when she entered the alley just now. Among the five gangsters, there were three tall ones with shiny skin on their shoulders and faintly visible muscle lines. In this era and in the south, they could indeed be considered tall and tall people in the market, and judging from their facial features,

, the three of them are not very old, they should still be brothers.

Si Ningning was not blind, so it was not that she could not see the vigilance and rejection in their eyes, but everyone was in a dilemma, and she felt that these people would not be able to get things done.

"You are their younger brother who came here to be a lobbyist?"

The monkey head was stunned for a moment, thinking that "younger brother" meant the youngest among the brothers. He quickly shook his head and explained: "We are not in the same production team, but I share the business of the rubber factory...actually, I am standing in the crack of the wall.

Making a living, you have no right to speak."

"I didn't want to join in, but you are new here, and I took advantage of you yesterday, so I came here to remind you that if there is no one behind you, you should leave this area quickly!" The monkey head turned back to his colleagues.

The old man smiled flatteringly, turned around again and lowered his voice, "This brother is ruthless and is not someone to be trifled with."

Si Ningning was silent for a moment, her brain working rapidly, and she thought about all the pros and cons. She asked tentatively: "It's not easy for everyone, don't make it difficult for anyone, I will give them some benefits, and I will be the one to do the rubber factory business in the future. You

What do you think are the chances of this being possible?"

The rubber factory was the only factory in the town. In this era, workers were also divided into grades. They were graded according to the year they worked. The salary for newcomers in the first two years was generally around 14.7 yuan. After that, there were two grades, 27.5 yuan and

Forty-three dollars and two.

Even if it is just a factory in a town, this job is also a kind of state-owned job. It is an iron rice bowl. There are various monthly voucher subsidies, so the workers have more money than others.

In addition to the black market, the rubber factory here should be the place where the dealers can sell goods most efficiently and make money more easily. And since the three brothers mentioned by Hou Tou can monopolize this place, it is enough to show that their fists are strong enough.

For Si Ningning, there are many places where she can ship goods, but so far, the black market and the rubber factory are undoubtedly the best places. After all, there are not many opportunities for her to come out.

Thinking about it, she added, "If possible, I hope they can keep an eye on me more and don't let other bad guys come over and cause trouble for me."

After he spat out the words, the monkey opened his mouth wide and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Si Ningning frowned, and then looked at the monkey head with her long and narrow eyes, "Not even a 10% chance?"

"No, no, let me go and ask!" Houtou shook his head hurriedly. After Si Ningning nodded, he got up and ran back to the bad man named Gu Yang, dancing and talking and gesticulating.

Of course, Houtou embellished Si Ningning's words, and he did not dare to say the original words directly.

Gu Yang didn't say anything, but when Heitou spoke, he stared at Si Ningning for a while. Si Ningning was not afraid to look at him. Finally, Gu Yang took the lead to look away and waved his hand at Heitou.

.

The monkey head was stunned for a moment and asked: "Brother Yang, five, five yuan?"

"Five cents."

The monkey head suddenly dropped his heart and said hurriedly: "Okay, I'll tell him now!"

The monkey head brought the news to Si Ningning, who was still a little confused, "Are you sure it's Wu Jiao?"

She thought it was only ten yuan, but in the end, it only cost fifty cents?

The monkey head sighed: "Brother Yang used to be very cruel, but after marrying a wife, things are a little different... Do you have money or not? Hurry up, if you miss this village, you won't have this shop!"

Si Ningning neatly took out 50 cents and gave it to Hericium, "I owe you a favor."

"It's not that serious. If I have something good next time, my two cents will be more valuable than anything else."

The monkey head smiled and took the money and was about to leave. Si Ningning grabbed his arm again and said, "You take the money and keep your word."

"Don't worry."

Si Ningning felt confused. After all, what he did was not a glorious thing. If he was really cheated, he would not be able to tell anyone about it, let alone let others judge him.

It's just fifty cents, so just waste it.

Si Ningning thought this, but unexpectedly, "Brother Yang" and the others took their word seriously, not to mention coming to trouble her, and they didn't even look at her after that.

Si Ningning was completely relieved. After such a short delay, many workers had already entered the rubber factory, and there were fewer and fewer buyers. Si Ningning was a little anxious. He held the basket and said in a low voice, "I have meat here."

.”

The alley fell silent for a second, and everyone turned around, including the boss, who also looked at Si Ningning.

Si Ningning frowned, what kind of look is that?

However, the next second she knew what this look meant.

Everyone swarmed up and pushed her from the alley to the corner, "Meat? Fat or not? How much? Do you want a ticket?"

"How much? I want half a catty!"

"I want a pound!"

"Can I buy something fat?"

After everyone pushed Si Ningning into the corner, they each took a step back to create a small circle.
