Chapter 204: Ginger is still spicier when old

Si Ningning nodded, "I only care about supplying goods, I don't care about the rest."

"By the way." Si Ningning looked up at the monkey head, "Do you know how to read?"

She supplies the goods, and Hericium and the others are responsible for selling them, so the payment can only be obtained when the goods are supplied for the second time. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, a copy of the account must be recorded.

The monkey head scratched his head and hesitated: "Well... Well, I, I can't read, but Brother Yang and the others seem to be able to."

"I'll come here once every ten days and a half. I can't tell you the exact time... If you plan to do this, you have to keep an account and list everything clearly to avoid wrangling." Si Ningning nodded lightly and continued after thinking about it.

He said: "There is still time before I come here next time. You can discuss it with them. I will try my best to come over for a trip in the next few days."

The monkey head nodded in agreement, "I come to the county frequently. If I can't come, I will tell my uncle the news in advance. When you come here, he will tell you the situation."

"Okay."

After they finished talking, the two opened the door of the compartment.

Si Ningning's dress is very iconic. When they came in to talk about things just now, the old man from the scrap yard lay on the rocking chair and thought about it for a long time, remembering that Si Ningning was the one who came back to pan for gold.

At this moment, Si Ningning came out of the cubicle. The old man from the scrap yard took one look at the smiling face of the monkey head and knew that the matter between them was settled, so he couldn't help but treat Si Ningning more cordially.

The old man at the scrap station took the initiative and asked: "Comrade, you came here to pan for gold last time and didn't find anything good. This time I got something. I wonder if you are interested in taking a look?"

It was getting late, and Si Ningning was already ready to leave. When she heard these words, she paused and said, "Oh?"

The old man from the scrap yard went into the small cubicle and groped around, and when he came out he already had an old bag in his hand that looked like a bag of tips.

Si Ningning listened to the clanging sounds inside and guessed they were copper coins or coins.

The old man at the scrap yard pulled off the elastic cord and poured out the contents. It was coins, but not copper coins, but Yuan Datou...

Yuan Datou was not worth much in later generations, but it was in good condition. The price of one piece was about 300-500 yuan, and because of the large number of copies issued, Si Ningning felt that it had no significance in collecting.

Just as he was about to shake his head, Si Ningning had sharp eyes and saw a relatively unique coin among the seven or eight Yuan Datou in the old man's hand.

Surrounded by a pattern of a coiled dragon swallowing the sun, with the word "One Corner" printed in the middle, Si Ningning took the small coin and turned it over to check. There were a dozen words printed on the other side, "Hu Nankai in the first year of Hongxian's reign"

National commemorative one-cent silver coin."

Si Ningning's heart skipped a beat and she said calmly: "This looks a bit special, how can I sell it?"

"Usually we keep this kind of old money ourselves. When we sell it privately, the price is the same as copper coins, which is 2 cents a piece." The old man at the scrap station laughed twice, waved his hand and continued: "You and me, this kid,

We are about the same age and we are good friends. If you like this, I will give it to you."

This statement sounds very open and clear, but there are too many rules and regulations when it comes to detailing.

This is because Heitou is worried that he is not cautious enough and is afraid of being tricked by Si Ningning, so he comes out to test and sell.

If Si Ningning accepts it, it means that he is willing to join their boat. If he does not accept it...

Si Ningning understood these truths and sighed inwardly, "Younger is still hotter than old." Then he quietly collected the coins, lowered his eyebrows and asked proactively: "What's your surname?"

A look of admiration flashed in the eyes of the old man at the scrap station, and he smiled kindly and said, "Your surname is Cheng."

"Mr. Cheng." Si Ningning nodded lightly, "It's getting late today. I have to hand over things when I get back, so I'll leave first. I'll make time to come back in the next few days."

The two parties agreed. Before Si Ningning left, he glanced at the scrap station and said to Old Man Cheng: "If there are similar coins in the future, you can keep an eye out. I will charge three times the market price."

Three times the price is enough to show interest in this "coin". Of course Si Ningning would be willing to pay a higher price, but that would be too eye-catching and could easily arouse suspicion.

"Don't worry, little comrade. It's hard to hide big things, but these small things are still fine." Old Man Cheng assured.

Si Ningning nodded and left through the back door.

After finding a corner and entering the space, Si Ningning took off all his clothes. He took a shower, washed his hair and removed makeup within ten minutes. He spent another ten minutes blow-drying and braiding his hair. After changing into the clothes he wore when going out, Si Ningning walked out.

space.

After leaving the alley and going to the state-owned hotel, Si Ningning looked around upstairs and downstairs. Xu Shuhua and the others were nowhere to be seen. Si Ningning turned around and went downstairs to the supply and marketing cooperative diagonally across from the state-owned hotel.

"Serve the people! Comrade, what do you want?"

Standing at the counter was the same young saleswoman named Xiao He from last time.

Si Ningning was stunned for a moment and then said smoothly: "Study hard and make progress every day."

Then he explained the purpose of his visit and asked for a notebook, pencil and kerosene lamp.

Comrade Xiao He bowed and took out two pencils from the green glass cabinet at the bottom and introduced them to Si Ningning, "A kerosene lamp costs 80 cents a bottle, and a bottle of kerosene costs 2 cents. Next time you come back and return the bottle, you can get 5 cents back... There are 2 pencils.

Planted ones, like this one with rubber are one cent each, and those without rubber are one cent each."

As he spoke, he knelt down and rummaged around again, "There are grid notebooks and striped notebooks, both cost two cents each. Which one do you want, comrade?"

"Show them all to me," Si Ningning said.

One type of pencil is orange all over, while the other type has red and black vertical lines and a rose-pink eraser on the tip.

Si Ningning held a pencil with black and red vertical stripes and pressed his hand on the eraser. The eraser was very hard, as if the surface was coated with a layer of glue.

Comrade Xiao He brought the book up, and Si Ningning casually opened the cover and looked at it.

The paper of the notebook is yellow, the paper is very thin, and the eraser is so hard that it is possible that the typos in the notebook will be broken even before they are erased.

Si Ningning made a choice and clicked on the notebook and the orange pencil. "Twenty notebooks for each type, and twenty pencils without erasers."

"Okay." Comrade Xiao He squatted down and took out a stack of notebooks, and then brought out a bag of bundled pencils. He looked at Si Ningning before looking at her and said with a smile, "I remember you, you are an educated youth."

"I bought these for the literacy class, right? Our brigade also heard some rumors, but we don't know how to arrange them specifically."

"I don't know the specific situation. This was brought back by the production team." Si Ningning nodded and chatted casually, "By the way, are there pens and separate erasers for sale here?"

"If the supply and marketing cooperative has ink, pens and erasers, you have to go to the department store to buy them."

"Then get me another bottle of ink."

"There are two colors, red and black. Comrade educated youth, you should want the black one, right?"

"Hmm..." Si Ningning paused, "Let's have a bottle."

"OK!"

Ink costs 12 cents a bottle, and you can get a two cent refund when you bring the bottle over when you use it up.

After all the shopping, I only spent one yuan and eighty-four cents.

Si Ningning paid the bill neatly and spent an extra penny to ask Comrade Xiao He to wrap the notebook in a large piece of oil paper. Comrade Xiao He agreed and wrapped it twice with fine hemp rope to make it easier for Si Ningning to carry it.

"Thank you." After saying something, Si Ningning carried it and walked out. As soon as he left the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, he bumped into a group of educated youth walking at the intersection on the other side of the roundabout.

"Jiang Yue, Xu Shuhua!" Si Ningning walked two steps faster.

The two sides met and each gained something, but both asked in unison: "What did you buy?"

Everyone was stunned at the same time, smiled and said: "Go to the state-owned hotel first, sit down and talk!"

Si Ningning was not too hungry, so she ordered a porridge for two cents. The state-owned restaurant gave a small plate of pickles as a gift. She took it upstairs and found a place by the window to sit down.

When he went out in the morning, he was carrying a bamboo basket on his back. While waiting for Xu Shuhua and the others to take a break, Si Ningning clicked a few things and put all the ink and pencils into the basket. There was a big pile of notebooks that couldn't be stuffed in, so he temporarily pushed them to the corner of the table and placed them against the wall.

, take it after you leave.

Xu Shuhua and the others soon came upstairs. Just like last time, if the conditions are good, eat well. If the conditions are poor, eat cheap food as long as it can fill your stomach.

"We bought winter melons, pumpkins, and a watermelon. We all pooled our money together to buy them. Ningning, what did you buy?"

"I bought some pencils and notebooks, and two bottles of ink... Did you pool your money to buy the watermelon? How much did you spend? Count me in." Si Ningning said proactively.

Jiang Yue waved her hand, "You don't need to pay, everyone has settled the matter when buying it."

Taking a big bite of the pancake, Jiang Yue said vaguely: "You always bring us with you when you have good things, so don't talk about it with us this time."

Si Ningning's eyes joked: "Okay, I'll shamelessly rub it this time. If I eat too much later, you can't blame me."

"I don't blame you, I don't blame you!" Li Lingyuan happily agreed.

There was a good atmosphere of talking and laughing at the table. While eating, the girls planned where to go next, and finally made a decision to go to the department store.

The male educated youth actually followed suit, "Then let's go too. We've been to the town a few times and haven't been to the department store here. Are there anything we want to buy?"

Si Ningning kept remembering what the salesperson from the supply and marketing cooperative said just now, that pens and erasers had to be purchased at the department store, so of course she had no objection and followed everyone to the department store after dinner.

The department store in the town only has two floors, each floor is about 120 square meters. There are simple partitions on the corners, and the part in the drama is separated by green glass counters. There are more supplies and marketing cooperatives, and the quality is slightly higher.

A little higher.

Facts have proven that no matter what age they are, most women are very keen on visiting "shopping malls".

Although Xu Shuhua and others didn't have much money, their shopping did not affect their interest at all. Occasionally they would see beautiful fabrics or ready-made skirts in the corner stalls, and they would stop and lower their voices in unison, making excited noises.

Screams.

Those clothes were actually very simple in style, very conservative and old-fashioned. Xu Shuhua and the others liked them very much, but Si Ningning couldn't get what was good about them at all.

After walking around for a while because he wanted to buy something, Si Ningning said hello to Xu Shuhua and the others, and then left the small group to wander around on her own.

After buying pens and erasers along the way, Si Ningning weighed two kilograms of fruit bark. On the way to look for Xu Shuhua and the others, Si Ningning noticed that there were mosquito nets in the department store. She couldn't help but go up and ask, "Hello, comrade, how do you sell mosquito nets?"

The lady at the counter was sitting on a chair, lying lazily on the edge of the counter. When she heard the question, she lazily raised her head and glanced at Si Ningning, "There are two kinds of mosquito nets, the white ones cost five yuan, and the pink ones are wedding tents, which cost eight yuan."

.”

Five or eight yuan is not a small amount of money to others, but to Si Ningning, it is just a small amount of money.

"Can you bring it over and show it to me? What's the difference?"

Mosquito nets are not cheap, there is not much work to do, and the lady at the casual counter is always quite lazy.

But he was lazy, and his service attitude was quite satisfactory. Si Ningning said he wanted to see it, and she turned around and brought out two large bundles tied up. It was hard to find anything wrong.

"Except for the different colors, the quality of these two products is the same. The wedding tent comes with an extra pair of mosquito net hooks." As he spoke, everyone at the counter squatted down and pulled out a pair of mosquito net hooks wrapped in a hard plastic bag.

Si Ningning immersed herself in touching the corners of the two packages, feeling the difference in quality. The lady at the counter glanced at her and said, "Girl, are you going to use it for a wedding or something? This is usually bought by men."

Si Ningning paused slightly and explained rather awkwardly: "No, I just use it for myself."

The quality of the two mosquito nets is indeed the same, but the pink texture is more transparent and the white one is not so transparent. Considering the actual situation, Si Ningning prefers the white mosquito net: "Sister, I want this, but do I still have to pay for the mosquito net?"

Want a coupon?"

"Yes, I want an industrial coupon."

Industrial coupons...

Si Ningning put her things on the counter, turned sideways and pretended to look for coupons in the basket on her back, but actually took out a large bundle of coupons from the space.

Si Ningning broke up the sweater rope that bundled the tickets and pulled out a paper ticket with "Industrial Product Purchase Coupon" printed on it for a long time.

Si Ningning put the messed up tickets into the space and handed the money and tickets to the lady at the counter.

Two pieces of two yuan, two pieces of fifty cents, both in whole money, plus a semi-new industrial coupon. After the lady at the counter took it, she couldn't help but give Si Ningning a few more looks.

At first, I was still mumbling about Si Ningning's origins and being so generous, but when I saw Si Ningning's little face that was as white and tender as a peeled egg, my heart suddenly became clearer.

It was the girl from the leader's family who came here to inspect under the guise of shopping!

Thinking of this, the lady at the counter couldn't help but become more serious and enthusiastic, "Well, then, I'll find something for you to install. Can you take it?"

Si Ningning didn't think much about it. She glanced at the mosquito net tied up into tofu blocks. It was a good thing after all, but it was really hard to get hold of. So she nodded, "Okay, thank you, sister."

"You're welcome! We are all good comrades, and we should serve the people!" The lady at the counter laughed "haha", quickly found a snakeskin bag, put the mosquito net in it quickly, and finally held the mouth of the bag and handed it over actively

To Si Ningning, "Come on, comrade, take it!"

Si Ningning tilted her head and frowned briefly, not quite understanding the reason for the change in attitude of the other party.
