Chapter 12 Earn the first pot of gold

Ten kilograms and sixty ounces of lychees, eight kilograms and two ounces of apples, nine kilograms and three taels of cherries, and one tael and seven kilograms of peaches. All in total, they totaled seventy-six yuan and sixty-five cents.

  Shen Zhihuan grandly wiped off the sixty-five cents.

  The smile on the face of the young woman who was still a little sore after losing more than seventy yuan suddenly became more sincere.

  Seventy-six yuan...

  The monthly salary of ordinary workers in many factories is only twenty or thirty yuan. Seventy-six yuan is equivalent to two or three months' salary of ordinary workers.

  "Little girl, can you still get these lychees and cherries in the future?" The young woman smiled and handed the seventy-six yuan and a pile of food stamps to Shen Zhihuan.

  Ren Fangfang, the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department who lives in the same hospital as the dean, told her privately that the dean's daughter-in-law, who couldn't lay eggs, was recently pregnant.

  The weeds on the roadside suddenly became a "national treasure".

  The dean's wife gave her the good stuff to strengthen her body for free, hoping that she would give birth to a fat grandson for their old Wang family.

  However, the "national treasure" was not replenished, but the joy became more and more severe. In the past few days, he vomited everything he ate.

  For this reason, the dean and his family were anxious and angry.

  I heard two days ago that the "national treasure" has a bad mouth and wants to eat fruit.

  The dean ran up and down, looking for someone to help him get rare fruits, for fear of losing his golden grandson.

  That's why she went to the department store under the sun today...

  "Of course, my second uncle and his brothers go to and from Nancheng every day. These are all easy things. What? Do you still want it?" Shen Zhihuan took the money. and food stamps, and put them into his pocket.

  She came to the county town originally just to explore the road, but she didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise.

  "Then can you ask your second uncle to get some more fruits that we don't have here in Sichuan City? As long as the fruits are fresh and taste good, price is not a problem." The young woman's eyes lit up.

  "Okay, I'll tell my second uncle when I get back." Shen Zhihuan couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth.

  Price is not an issue...

  What a beautiful six words!

  "I'm at home every Saturday morning. When you get the fruit, bring it to me." The young woman thought for a while and warned.

  "Okay! Then I will deliver it to you this Saturday morning." Shen Zhihuan picked up the backpack on the ground and nodded to the young woman.

  "It must be fresh!" the young woman warned worriedly.

  "Don't worry! It's absolutely fresh." Shen Zhihuan threw the backpack on his back and walked out.

  "My name is He Rujin, you can call me Sister He from now on!" The young woman smiled and sent Shen Zhihuan out.

  She had a strong hunch that this little girl's fruit would be of great help to her.

  After exiting the gate of He Rujin's community, Shen Zhihuan turned into the small alley she had passed before. Seeing no one around, she put her hand into her right pocket...

  Eight big unity.

  She put the seventy-six yuan and food stamps that He Rujin gave her in the resort cabin as soon as she got them. It was also at that time that she found something extra in her pocket.

  Su Ziyu...

  is a bit interesting!

  Shen Zhihuan threw the money into the resort and went straight to the street next to the department store.

  Seeing that it was almost noon, the bowl of wild vegetable soup that she had eaten early in the morning had long been digested. Shen Zhihuan, who was empty in the stomach, did not intend to treat her own stomach badly. She turned on her toes and entered the state-owned restaurant on the roadside.

  Shen Zhihuan took out his money and food stamps and ordered a bowl of meat noodle soup and five large meat buns.

  The meat buns had been steamed a long time ago and were brought to the table after a while. Shen Zhihuan asked the waiter for two pieces of oil paper to wrap the meat buns and put them in the basket at his feet.

  It didn't take long for the broth noodles to arrive on the table.

  I have to say that these days, state-owned hotels are really quite conscientious.

  The meat buns, which cost one cent plus one tael of food stamps, looked like a small grapefruit.     The broth noodles cost two cents plus twenty taels of food stamps. A bowl full of even-thick ramen noodles topped with three pieces of pork ribs and a few lettuce leaves on the side made people drool just by looking at it.

  Shen Zhihuan sweated from eating the greasy meat noodle soup. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and sat for a while before Shen Zhihuan picked up the basket and left the state-owned hotel.

  Once you have money, it's time to buy the things you need to buy.

  After entering the supply and marketing cooperative, Shen Zhihuan went straight to the counter selling farm tools.

  His eyes passed over the hoe, sickle, shovel, basket, and dustpan... and landed directly on the baskets in the corner.

  "Comrade, how do you sell this basket?" Shen Zhihuan pointed to the bamboo basket in the corner.

  The basket for carrying fruits does not need to be too delicate, just strong and durable.

  "The big one costs thirty cents, the small one costs two cents." The salesperson selling farm tools was eating melon seeds and chatting with the salesperson selling daily necessities next to him. Hearing Shen Zhihuan ask about the basket, he glanced at Shen Zhihuan impatiently.

  "I want to buy a hundred large baskets. Can you help me deliver them to the alley in front of East Street?" Shen Zhihuan thought about it and still felt that the dead end was the safest.

  "I can deliver it if I can!" the salesperson nodded quickly.

  One hundred...

  These days, in the countryside, regardless of whether they are men or women, they can do bamboo weaving.

  Even the slightly older people in the county can order it.

  Even if not, who doesn't have a relative from the countryside?

  The bamboo woven items on her counter are basically just left in the corner to collect dust.

  Especially this kind of basket, it will leak when storing rice, so it is better to carry a basket on your back when loading vegetables.

  It's not easy to meet such a victim...

  "Li Dabao, hurry up, there's a job." The salesperson stuffed the melon seeds in his hand into his pocket, shouted at the top of his lungs, and didn't forget to write out the invoice and collect the money.

  Shen Zhihuan had just given the money and a hundred bamboo baskets were loaded onto the tricycle at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.

  Looking at the three big pictures in front of her, the salesperson felt like she was in a dream.

  She came to the supply and marketing cooperative for a year, and these baskets were piled in the supply and marketing cooperative's warehouse for a year...

  Dongdajie Street is not far from the supply and marketing cooperative, only two streets away.

  As soon as the deliveryman named Li Dabao left, Shen Zhihuan glanced around and quickly put the basket into the resort.

  The sun at noon was so scorching that people's heads were almost smoking. Shen Zhihuan found a street with dense green trees and walked slowly.

  In her previous life, she was also a seasoned bookworm. In many period articles, a keyword appeared...

  black market.

  As the name suggests, black must not be able to see the light.

  But, where is she going to find this black market?

  In the memory of the original owner, the adults in the village occasionally let slip the mention of the black market, but they always kept it secret.

  Sichuan City is so big and there is no one to lead the way. Even if she wears out the cloth shoes under her feet, her efforts will be in vain.

  After walking around for a while, Shen Zhihuan, who had no clue, was a little frustrated and found a flower bed where he could take shelter and sit down.

  "Old sister, you are still lucky. Your daughter-in-law has given you another big fat grandson. Unlike the useless one in my family, he hasn't even laid an egg for me in the three years since he came here. He keeps complaining about being hungry all day long."
