Back to the era with space materials

"One piece and eight cents."

Si Ningning nodded, "You take two yuan of this money and use the rest to cook the pot. Is that enough?"

The monkey head was stunned. He didn't expect that Si Ningning asked about the price of the coupons because he wanted to give him money, but since he had already mentioned it, he was too embarrassed to push back.

Hericium scratched his head and counted out one yuan and eighty cents. He raised his head and was about to say that these are enough, but Si Ningning spoke first, "Here, take the money when it's time to take it, and do it neatly when it's time to do things."

"

Partners, partners, whether we talk about "cooperation" or "partner" first, take money when you should get money, and contribute when you should contribute. No matter how close the relationship is, it still needs the maintenance of interests.

Only if it is profitable and can definitely obtain benefits, is the way to perfectly maintain relationships, and it is also the law of operating in the business world.

Si Ningning mentioned it several times, but Hericium could no longer shirk the ink mark, so she obediently counted out two cents from the money bag and stuffed it into her pocket and put it away. Finally, she said it in front of Si Ningning.

Open the bag and continue counting money:

"Although the pot is not easy to get, it doesn't cost so much, and you don't want a new one... If most people have the idea of ​​selling their own pot, they basically have to sell it at a discount because they have urgent needs and need money! I'll take it first

One piece, if there is more, I will save it for you next time, if there is less, I will take care of it first."

In the past few years, due to the production of iron and steel, the prices of ironware and steelware, such as iron pots, hoes, etc., have increased significantly.

Although it is not expensive, compared to other items, the price is indeed not cheap.

"Yeah." Si Ningning knew this in her heart, she nodded lightly, leaned forward slightly for a while, stretched out her hand and pressed it on the monkey head, "If we encounter one, let them set the price themselves, whatever the price is.

, as long as it’s not outrageous.”

"Ah?" The monkey looked confused and didn't understand what it meant.

Si Ningning was silent for a while, then sighed and reminded: "Making money for the country and bargaining with the poor are not skills. If you have the ability, go and make money from the rich. That is the real skill."

After Si Ningning finished speaking, the hut instantly became quiet.

Si Ningning's eyes wandered, and when she saw Heruchi and Gu Xihe looking at her blankly, she frowned slightly and raised her eyebrows, "What expression are you looking at?"

They both shook their heads, and Gu Xihe said: "It's nothing, I just think that although we are doing this dishonorably, but after you said it, I think this kind of business is nothing to do? According to what you said, it's not a big deal either.

No less philanthropic and righteous than those who serve as officials."

The monkey head nodded and echoed, "I agree with this."

"There is no such thing as being righteous or unjust, it's just up to your conscience." Si Ningning shook her head, stood up and prepared to go home.

Gu Xihe chuckled stupidly, raised his hand and answered cheerfully, "I'll follow you!"

Si Ningning was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that there was something else she had not said. She sat back on the futon, patted the unnecessary dust in front of her knees with her chin, and looked up at Gu Xihe after a while, "There is something I forgot.

I said, this matter is more important and you need to go back and discuss it with your two brothers."

As if aware of the seriousness of the matter, Gu Xihe rarely said anything, but straightened his back and nodded seriously, waiting for Si Ningning's next words.

Si Ningning mentioned something about the handyman in the rubber factory, and then gave a brief introduction to the handyman's work, emphasizing that people should be honest, willing to work and endure hardship. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Gu Xihe's slightly young and handsome face.

Above, a pair of slightly sharp eyes turned into starry eyes in a second.

"Really?!" Gu Xihe stood up suddenly and almost performed a backflip in excitement, but luckily he suppressed it in the end.

"Brother Dong, is it true? Really? Work in the rubber factory!" As soon as Gu Xihe became happy, he squatted in front of Si Ningning like a child and kept asking.

Unlike Gu Xihe who was excited and excited, Hericium looked at Si Ningning in surprise and disbelief.

The monkey head didn't understand Si Ningning very well. Although he was a handyman, his salary was obviously enough to lift a family out of poverty. Why did Si Ningning keep it in his own hands? Instead, he gave it to others.

Although he couldn't understand it, it didn't affect He Tou's envy of Gu Xihe.

A job in a state-owned factory, an iron rice bowl delivered to your doorstep!

The monkey head unconsciously compared the extra two cents given by Si Ningning in his mind. Just for a moment, the monkey head shook his head randomly and said in his heart: Don't think so! Work hard in the future, it's true.

Can we miss him if we have the opportunity?

Thinking of this, Hericium instantly glowed with energy and energy.

Si Ningning did not brag and said bluntly: "Right now, I have such an opportunity in my hand, but whether you can seize it in the end depends on your ability."

Gu Xihe nodded repeatedly, "I will tell my brother when I get back soon! Then, if there is news after that, how can we find you? Should we wait half a month?"

"Yes." Si Ningning nodded, "So there's no need to rush this. You'll have plenty of time to discuss it when you get back."

"Okay!" Gu Xihe nodded quickly.

Si Ningning saw that things were almost finished, so she pulled the basket on the side and took out all the milk powder inside. The monkey asked: "Is this all this time?"

"Well, that pig probably caused quite a stir last time. Recently, everyone has been trying to keep a low profile and not attract too much attention." Si Ningning nodded, put his basket on his back and stood up, "There's nothing else, I

Let’s go back first.”

"Brother Dong, bring the eggs, salted duck eggs!" Gu Xihe stood up and showed his bright smile with straight teeth, "It's very delicious, really, I'm not going to lie to you!"

Si Ningning turned around and saw that Gu Xihe had an extra bag in his hand. It was heavy. If it was filled with salted duck eggs, the number should be no less than twenty.

It's not cheap anymore.

If the Gu family got these duck eggs to thank her for sending pigs to the water, Si Ningning thought it was unnecessary. But when he thought about her recommendation for a job, he paused and said nothing, squatting down slightly.

He tilted the mouth of the basket towards Gu Xihe and said, "Put it inside, be careful not to break it."

Just take it.

People come and go, and as they go, they come,

If this situation is not dealt with, it will make it difficult for a group of honest people to feel at ease.

"Hey!" Gu Xihe responded, his hearty and crisp voice kept ringing, "My sister-in-law and fourth wife made this salted duck egg together. They boiled it with rice wine, added salt, and marinated it for several days. Brother Dong, you

Go back and cook a salted egg to taste first. If you think it's salty, just wash the egg and store it in a cool place."

"I see."

Si Ningning said "hmm", and behind her, Gu Xihe put the duck eggs into her basket. She was still mumbling something, but her voice was significantly lower than before, "Brother Dong, I heard Brother Hericium say you are unlucky."

A baby? Let me tell you, plus the money from recuperating the pig, my brother saved a lot of money and said he was ready to find a wife for me!"

The boy's voice has the hoarseness of the late stage of voice change, and his words contain a bit of gossip, but more of them are filled with joy and longing for the future.

Si Ningning swayed slightly and was thinking about whether to say congratulations when she heard Gu Xihe say again: "Brother Dong, when my wife gives birth to a baby in the future, she will recognize you as her godfather, just like we do now, let's

They’re also brothers!”

"..." Si Ningning felt helpless for a while.

The young man's thinking is really too fast, and she can't keep up.

Seeing that the sun was about to rotate overhead and the time was approaching noon, Si Ningning didn't want to delay any longer, so she said hello hastily, and then left through the back door of the scrap yard as she had come, under the watch of Heruchi and Gu Xihe.

There were people all the way out, and it was difficult for Si Ningning to go into the space to wash up and change clothes, so she put the duck eggs in the basket into the space without telling anyone, and she went directly to the town department store with the empty basket on her back.

The purpose of this trip is simple, just to buy a watch.

The pocket watch he used to tell the time was given to Huo Lang. During this period, Si Ningning has been estimating the time by looking at the sun. This method can give a rough idea, but if you want to be more accurate, you need a clock or a watch.

With his purpose clear, Si Ningning went directly to the second floor of the department store to find the clock counter.

Watches are considered a kind of luxury goods. Generally, no one will buy them except when the bride asks for three turns and one ring. Therefore, Si Ningning stopped in front of the counter. The salesperson inside saw that he was a well-dressed and clean young man.

, he opened his mouth and asked: "Do you want to read the watch? Lady's watch? Is it a gift for your partner when they get married?"

Ever since, after his last daughter-in-law had just given birth to a baby, Si Ningning was ready to "marry" his second daughter-in-law.

Si Ningning did not explain, nodded and said: "What kind of things are there? Can you take them out and take a look?"

"Yes, there are domestic watches and imported watches. The coupons are the same. You need a coupon, but the price of our domestic watches is more reasonable. If you are short of money, you can take a look at this one." The salesperson was also unambiguous and quickly took it.

Take out two simple small boxes.

One is an old wooden one, and the other is a brighter milky white. The material is a small box made of cardboard, with a white bow inlaid with gold thread tied on it. You can tell at a glance which one is domestic and which one is foreign.

.

The salesperson introduced it to Si Ningning and opened the lid of the wooden box for Si Ningning to see.

Si Ningning looked at it and raised her chin towards the white box, "What does that look like? Let's open it together and take a look."

"Okay." The salesperson opened the lid of another box and explained to Si Ningning: "The domestic product is from the Shanghai Sun brand, the imported one is from the Swiss Plum Blossom brand, and the Sun brand is thirty-four yuan, Plum Blossom."

86 yuan for the card.”

The salesperson raised his head and looked at Si Ningning's expression. Seeing that Si Ningning was not deterred by the price, and kept looking at the Plum Blossom watch, he had an idea in his mind, "Comrade, this is the only department store that sells Plum Blossom watches. Go to

The women's watches in the county should only cost one or two yuan. To be honest, this watch is expensive to purchase and there are not many available in the store. If you like it, you can buy it and try it out."

"Although the price is a little more expensive, it does look good. Girls should like this."

In this era, salespeople work from 9 to 5, and there is no concept of getting commission from selling goods like in later generations, so what I say is quite pertinent.

"Yeah." Si Ningning nodded, compared the two watches, and finally chose the Plum Blossom brand, "Wrap it up for me."

There is no other reason than the salesperson’s words: it looks good.

The Sun brand watch has a large dial and is silver-grey overall. Not only the dial, but also the straps at both ends are very wide. At first glance, it doesn’t look like a women’s watch, but more like a men’s watch.

In comparison, the Plum Blossom brand watch is more delicate, with a thin circle dial, and the straps at both ends are made of brown and black cowhide, and the width is also thin. Without having to draw, Si Ningning knew that it would be very comfortable after wearing it.

Reveal skin color.

Anyway, you can’t tell the quality just by looking at the appearance, so let’s start with the appearance!

I probably didn't expect that someone would spend seventy or eighty yuan on an imported watch in this small place. The salesperson was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and hurriedly packaged it, "Oh, okay, comrade, do you want a receipt? Here at the counter.

It will open."

"Let's open one." Si Ningning said, then asked after a moment of silence: "If there is something wrong with the watch, is there a warranty here?"

"The counter only sells, not repairs. However, the quality of the items sold here is guaranteed. If it is really broken for any reason, you will have to find a specialized watchmaker to repair it."

Si Ningning nodded clearly, counted the money and foreign exchange certificates in person, and handed them over, "Thank you."

After taking the receipt and watch for a while, Si Ningning took out the watch and raised his chin towards the clock on the inside of the counter, "Comrade, is the time on that clock accurate?"

"It's accurate." Realizing that he hadn't calibrated the time to Si Ningning, the salesperson reached out to pick it up. Si Ningning turned sideways and refused, "I'll do it."

Facing the final calibration time, it was already 1:20 pm. Si Ningning put the watch back into the box, thanked the salesperson again, then turned around and left.

The sun was still shining brightly outside, so Si Ningning didn't rush home. Instead, she went to a state-owned restaurant and ordered a dish and a soup with rice and ate it slowly.

Waiting until after half past two o'clock, when the sun had an obvious tendency to move towards the west, Si Ningning picked up the backpack and walked back, until he walked to the mountain road near the third production team of Jiling, and swayed under the cover of the trees in the mountain.

Once you enter the space, you can wash up and change clothes.

Then he came out of the space in his usual clothes. It wasn't until he reached the vicinity of the third team that Si Ningning transferred the salted duck eggs and the things he had packed up in the space one by one, either putting them in a basket on his back or carrying them in his hands.

Go back.

Her clothes are all bright colors that are rare in the countryside, either light mint green or tender yellow with a very gentle atmosphere. She is also slim and slim. She can walk all the way to the mountain road if she stops there.

Find out who she is.

Mo Bei was busy working among the cotton at the foot of the mountain road. When he looked up and saw Si Ningning on the road, he threw the bag of cotton hanging in front of him over his shoulder, twisted his neck and subconsciously tried to find the slope to go up. However,

Before I could find the road, I heard faint conversations coming from above.

Mo Beizheng turned around and looked up, and saw that someone was one step ahead of him and had already taken the heavy object from the girl's hand. At this time, the girl pursed her lips and frowned, and was following the tall and tall man step by step with a smile.

The big man walked back slowly.
