After earning a small amount of money, you can also buy something for Xiaoyuer and her family.

After counting the money, Chen Xu got up and went to settle the account with the old lady.

And this checkout, embarrassing things appeared.

This is the town, no more than the village, even if you come out to eat wontons, in addition to asking for money, you also need to use food stamps.

Although the old lady didn't want to deal with him about this meal or two, Chen Xu still insisted on giving three cents more, which was worth two pounds of food stamps.

If you change to another restaurant, you don't have food stamps, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food.

Considering that I also have to go to the grain control station to buy fine grain, I have to use a lot of food stamps.

After Chen Xu paid the money, he inquired with the old lady again before he heard about the only underground food stamp trading platform in town.

Temporarily leaving the carriage in the corner of the old lady's shop, he took Xiaoyuer to the underground food stamp trading platform.

This is also known as the black market.

For farmers who do not have food stamps and want to buy some fine grain to improve their living conditions at home, they can come here to exchange grain for food stamps, or they can buy it with money.

Now the market price of food stamps is a dime a pound.

Chen Xu came to the black market and spent 1 yuan to buy 10 pounds of food stamps.

Seeing that someone was selling meat tickets, he spent another dollar to buy five pounds of meat tickets.

I bought food stamps and meat tickets, and then took Xiaoyuer to the grain station in town.

Handing the salesman 10 kilograms of grain stamps, one piece of six bought 8 kilograms of rice and two kilograms of noodles.

Coming out of the grain station, Chen Xu went to the designated meat stall in the town.

At this point, fat can no longer be bought, only lean meat is sold.

Chen Xu didn't care, and directly asked the boss to weigh him a pound of lean meat.

Purchasing food for half of the earthen basket, Chen Xu took Xiaoyuer and went to a tailor's shop on the street.

In this era, especially in townships, every family pulls their own fabrics to make clothes.

If the mother-in-law in the family is not good or lazy, or has higher requirements, she will come to the tailor's shop to choose a few pieces of cloth to make custom-made clothes.

Came to the tailor's shop, Chen Xu directly asked the tailor to pull two pieces of cotton cloth with good colors, recalled the styles worn by those children in his previous life, probably told his own thoughts, asked the tailor to measure the size of Xiaoyuer, paid the money, and left the store with Xiaoyuer, and came to pick it up tomorrow morning.

And this six-foot cloth cotton cloth only cost more than two pieces.

Walking out of the tailor's shop, Chen Xu walked back with Xiaoyuer, and bought two pairs of cloth shoes for the little one in the hands of a woman at a stall on the street.

Since birth, whether it is autumn and winter or scorching heat, Xiaoyuer has almost always grown up barefoot.

As soon as Chen Xu bought her shoes, the little one couldn't wait to put on his feet, after getting off the ground, he carefully walked a few steps forward, then turned his head to look at Chen Xu, a pair of eyes smiled into a crescent, cute and brilliant, "Shoes, wear them, comfortable!" Chen Xu

was almost sweetened by the little guy's smile, stepped forward a few steps, and hugged his daughter into his arms with one hand, "It's okay to be comfortable, when you go to the city later, Dad will buy you more beautiful shoes." "

Previous life.

Chen Xu is bent on making money, and more is the pursuit and desire of the upper class and money.

Now, with Xiaoyuer, it seems to give a new layer of meaning to his efforts.

Especially seeing the happy appearance of the little guy, Chen Xu felt that no matter how hard and tired it was, it was worth it!

Xiao Yu'er climbed on the neck of the cao with one hand, clenched into a small fist with the other hand and raised it high, and a bright smile bloomed on his face again, and said in a milky voice, "When the fish grows up, it will also earn a lot of money to give the

blossoms!"

The father and daughter walked all the way back, and in less than half an hour, they returned to the wonton shop with a large basket of things.

After greeting the old lady and the old man, he got into the carriage and set off for home.

......

Two hours later.

When Chen Xu drove the carriage past a single-family house on the side of the road in Longjing Village, he parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car, carried two large earthen baskets, took Xiaoyuer up a few steps, and went to the gate of the courtyard of the household.

It was this morning that he learned that the uncle who sold the chestnuts to him was from this Longjing Village.

Now when I go home, I want to pass by here, so I will return the basket by the way, and then order the chestnuts I need in the future.

However, as soon as Chen Xu entered the yard, a tethered big yellow dog barked at him and Xiaoyuer.

Chen Xu stretched his neck and shouted a few times to the house.

The room was quiet.

But soon, a faint voice came from behind the house.

In less than a few minutes, Luo Chenglu rushed to the yard, his clothes were still stained with yellow mud, and his clothes were already wet with sweat, obviously working in the field.

When he saw that the person in the yard was Chen Xu, he immediately glanced at the big yellow dog and scolded, and the big dog that was originally open and dancing with its claws immediately lowered its head.

Reprimanding the dog, Luo Chenglu stepped forward a few steps, glanced at the earthen basket next to Chen Xu, and warmly beckoned Chen Xu into the house, "Oh, why did you send it to me, I'll go to the door to get it myself in a few days, and quickly enter the house and sit."

Chen Xu waved his hand and refused with a smile, "Uncle, don't sit down, I'm still in a hurry to go back, I also came by the way to return the basket, I also want to ask you, do you still have chestnuts at home?

When the latter heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he looked at the two large earthen baskets that were empty on the side, and asked Chen Xu, "You... You sold out those more than 100 pounds of chestnuts?" "

Isn't it only half a day before this big man sells all the chestnuts that he usually sells in a month?

Chen Xu didn't plan to say more to the other party, and said with a smile, "It's sold out, uncle, I'm in a hurry to go back, you tell me if you still have this chestnut?" The

latter swallowed a mouthful of saliva before speaking, "Yes, but I have to pick it up freshly, and I have to put it for three days to sell it to you so sweet."

"If you want it tomorrow, I can ask my brother to sell some to you first, his house has inventory, and his home is there."

Luo Chenglu said, pointing to the halfway up the mountain not far from the side of the road, where several families were seated.

Chen Xu nodded, "Okay, then trouble uncle you to help me talk to them, tomorrow at four thirty in the morning I will come to pick up the goods, 150 pounds."

He said this, thought about it, and continued, "If they can help me cut each chestnut in a small mouth, I will add an extra penny per pound, 8 cents a pound." "

The cost of cutting a pound of chestnuts for a penny is quite a lot for rural people now.

When Luo Chenglu heard Chen Xu's words, he agreed almost without thinking, "This must be no problem."

After greeting, Xiao Yuer took the initiative to say goodbye to her uncle, and the father and daughter left together.

Luo Chenglu looked at the big man sitting in the carriage, gradually moving away, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was not simple, and the more he liked it.

Fortunately, the day before yesterday, the big man came to sell August melons next to him.

Otherwise, how could he and his younger brother make so much money at once?

In the future, they will need more than 100 catties a day, 12 yuan a day!
