Chapter 8 Buying two catties of sugar
Shi Xiaoyong and Shi Xiaowei glanced at Shi Xiaohong, and Shi Xiaoyong frowned: "What are you going to do? Look at my little sister at home. By the way, my eldest brother and I will come back for lunch at noon. You and my little sister can make something filling!"
Shi Xiaolin then remembered that her eldest and second brothers were working in the Qinjiazhuang Tile Factory across from Shitai Village. This tile factory was only built last year, and the business was very prosperous. People from eight villages within ten miles came to buy tiles from their house.
As for Shi Xiaoyong and Shi Xiaowei, they are the ones who dig dirt, step on the mud and remove the bricks in the tile factory. This requires physical strength. Shi Xiaoyong is familiar with the people in Qinjiazhuang, so he got this job. The settlement is based on a monthly basis, and he works for one day.
It's only 78 cents, 78 yuan for ten days, and more than 10 yuan a month. In their area, this kind of salary is not bad.
Shi Xiaohong also wants to go, but his family members know that he is not in good health and are unwilling to let him go. As long as it is not spring planting or harvesting, he and Shi Xiaolin spend most of the time doing light work at home.
Shi Xiaoyong and Shi Xiaowei went out arm-in-arm. Shi Xiaohong couldn't help but feel anxious. His elder brother Shi Xiaowei was almost twenty-five years old. There were very few people in Shitai Village who were still unmarried at the age of twenty-five. His little sister knew that for the sake of his elder brother
He is anxious about the bride price, how can he not be anxious?
Shi Xiaoyong was anxious. It was almost ten o'clock now. The brickwork factory required ten o'clock and they would work until six or seven in the afternoon. If the work was rushed, they would work overtime.
Of course, people at this time didn’t know what overtime was.
After they left, at almost twelve o'clock, Wang Guifen and the others came back. The couple carried baskets on their shoulders, which contained all large and small potato eggs.
At this time, potatoes could not be sold for much money. They were mainly used to feed pigs, chickens and people. In this way, some food could be saved. In addition to paying taxes, there was also selling, which was the most important thing in the family.
economic sources.
Shi Xiaoyong and the others came back in a hurry. After eating two bowls of corn rice each, they turned around and ran away with bayberries in their hands.
In the afternoon, Wang Guifen and the others had to go up the mountain to dig potatoes, so Shi Xiaolin asked Wang Guifen for twenty yuan.
The gift money is not enough. This money was originally used to replenish Shi Xiaolin's health. Let alone twenty yuan, even if Shi Xiaolin wants to leave, Wang Guifen should give it to her according to her doting attitude towards Shi Xiaolin.
After getting the money and Wang Guifen and the others left, Shi Xiaolin said to Shi Xiaohong: "Third brother, let's go with me to the town to buy something!"
Shi Xiaohong didn't ask any more questions, took two food stamps, and went out with Shi Xiaolin.
It is about three or four kilometers from Shitai Village to Guanba Town. After walking for about an hour, we arrived at Guanba Town.
Shi Xiaolin remembered that when she turned right in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, there was a black market. It was called a black market because Guanba Town had not yet started a large-scale individual economy. If people wanted something, they mainly went to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange tickets.
But Shi Xiaolin knew that in less than a year, individual businesses would spring up at the speed of bamboo shoots after a rain. When the spring breeze blows, many people will go to sea to do business and become the first group of people in the country to become rich.
Seeing that Shi Xiaolin was familiar with the situation, Shi Xiaohong frowned slightly.
Shi Xiaolin is indeed very familiar with this place. In order to please Du Wentao, she doesn't just ask for money from home. She also goes to the mountains to pick some wild vegetables or pickles from home, etc., and sells them here, and the money she gets in exchange is
Remit it to Du Wentao, who is studying in university in the provincial capital.
The sun hung scorchingly above her head. Shi Xiaolin raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead. Although the solid fabric was a bit hard, it was very cool. She walked through the streets selling various vegetables and eggs on both sides. Soon, she saw
A store.
This should be the earliest grocery store in Guanba Town. It sells many things. A few months ago, the store also sold clam oil and some candies. Of course, there are also canned foods and malted milk. Here
No tickets are required, as long as you have money.
"Boss, do you have any flour?"
Shi Xiaolin stood handsomely in the store. The boss saw it at a glance. He was not old, he looked less than thirty years old. The store was full of things because the place was small and he was afraid of being caught.
Therefore, only one door was left.
"Yes, how much do you want?"
"Bring me ten pounds of flour!"
Shi Xiaolin asked for ten kilograms of flour. Even if Shi Xiaohong didn't know the price, he knew it was not cheap. He wanted to call Shi Xiaolin, but her eyes were shining brightly. When the words came to her lips, she swallowed them again.
"Ten pounds of flour, do you need anything else?"
A kilogram of fine flour in the county cost a dime a kilogram, but when he bought it from the county, the price increased by two cents per kilogram. In other words, ten kilograms of flour cost one dollar and twenty cents.
"And sugar, boss, give me two kilograms of sugar!"
When he heard that he wanted white sugar, the boss couldn't help but take a look at Shi Xiaolin. White sugar is not cheap, and most people are reluctant to eat it. In his store, it only costs 80 cents per pound, and two pounds of white sugar is only 1.6 yuan!
Shi Xiaolin calculated that the only thing missing from making French fries was ketchup. Without ketchup, she planned to go back and boil some jam and pour it on. It should taste similar, but she didn’t know if two pounds of sugar would be enough. However, at first, she
I don’t dare to buy too much, because if business goes bad, I will suffer heavy losses.
Making bread requires eggs. All the eggs at home have been given away, and she will buy eggs later.
"Comrade, do you want to make steamed buns or steamed buns?"
It has both white flour and white sugar, so it must be some type of pasta.
"Comrade, if you want to make steamed buns and steamed buns, I advise you to buy some saccharin. This is cheap, sweet, and cost-effective! White sugar is too expensive!"
Shi Xiaolin then remembered that in this era, sugar was a very expensive thing, and most people were reluctant to eat it. Every year, they saved up some sugar stamps and exchanged them to give to their most important relatives.
Saccharin is the most common thing in this era because it is cheap. A few grains of saccharin can make a pot of water sweet, which is much more cost-effective than white sugar.
But Shi Xiaolin, who comes from the future, knows that saccharin is not actually sugar, but a synthetic sweetener extracted from coal tar. Eating too much can affect human health.
She thought for a moment and shook her head: "Boss, please give me some brown sugar and some white sugar!"
Brown sugar is cheaper than white sugar.
Carrying the things out, Shi Xiaolin lamented that twenty yuan in this era is really a lot of money to spend. She bought ten pounds of flour, two pounds of brown sugar and one pound of white sugar, for a total of less than three dollars.
Holding a huge sum of seventeen yuan in her hand, Shi Xiaolin looked at the eggs not far away: "Third brother, I want to buy some eggs..."
"Don't buy it in the town, it's expensive. When I get home, I'll go to Ding Jian's country to buy it!"
The eggs in the town are one or two cents more expensive than in the village. Although the penny is negligible in Shi Xiaolin's opinion, Shi Xiaohong cares about it. He only knows that money is calculated in cents now.
The brother and sister had just bought thirty eggs from Ding Jian Guoguo. Before they entered the door, they saw several people standing in their yard, including two faces that both Shi Xiaolin and Shi Xiaohong knew.
"Uncle Guihai, why are you here?"
