In 1977, the college entrance examination was reinstated. Educated youth who had been sent to the countryside, Su Jinyan, passed the exam and was admitted to Peking University in one go. The origin...
"Well, the refrigerator is still as agreed, 3,500. As for these duck eggs, goose eggs, chickens, ducks and geese, how much do you plan to sell them for?"
After entering the simple "office", Brother Dong went straight to the point and spoke directly.
Su Jinyan smiled and said, "Brother Dong, how much do you want to give? I'll sell it if it's suitable. If it's not suitable, I hope you can let me set up a stall over there?"
Dong Ge pondered for a moment and said, "Duck eggs are 90 cents, goose eggs are 22 cents, chickens, ducks and geese are all alive and look young, so their prices are higher. Chicken is 80 cents per pound, ducks are 1 yuan per pound, and geese are 1.2 yuan per pound."
The prices of chickens, ducks and geese are not cheap. Now the price of chicken in the supply and marketing cooperatives is 40 cents per pound, including the invoice. On the black market, pork without an invoice is only 80 or 90 cents.
Brother Dong didn't cheat her, and he even offered a high price for the chickens, ducks and geese.
No matter how good your product is, the market price is still there.
Su Jinyan smiled and said, "These poultry are in the egg-laying season. Each one can lay one egg a day to break even. You will definitely not lose money if you buy them at this price." Then he changed the subject and said, "These poultry are well-fed. You can tell by the color of their fur and the quality of their eggs. So, duck eggs are 10 cents each and goose eggs are 25 cents each. If you think this is okay with you, I will provide you with goods once a week in the future."
Dong Ge nodded without much hesitation, "Okay, let's weigh it."
Su Jinyan smiled and nodded, "Yes, there are 500 duck eggs and 200 goose eggs."
Brother Dong nodded and asked Xia Paizi and his men to weigh the chickens, ducks and geese.
He opened the cabinet and took out a brown paper package, then handed it to Su Jinyan, "This is the money for the refrigerator, please count it first."
Su Jinyan opened the kraft paper and looked at it, flipping over each stack of money, and said with a smile, "No need to count." Then he wrapped it again with kraft paper.
After a while, Xia Paizi and the others weighed the chicken, "42 pounds and 2 ounces, duck, 63 pounds and 6 ounces, goose, 163 pounds and 4 ounces."
After hearing the number reported, Su Jinyan roughly calculated it and found that the weight was fine. "Don't count the taels, just count the whole number."
Dong Ge nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then gave the price directly, "A total of three hundred and ninety-two dollars and twenty cents, you do the math."
Su Jinyan nodded, "Well, I don't want the change. If you have food coupons, meat coupons, and industrial coupons, please exchange them for me. If you have radio coupons, please exchange them for two."
As for the radio tickets, she just wanted to stock up some things of this era for the space; the meat and grain tickets were for the Sun family and Zhao Zhengjun to use as heads of the household.
The two of them often go shopping and like to buy things.
"How much do you want?"
"I need 50 kilograms of grain coupons, 20 kilograms of meat coupons, and 20 industrial coupons. How much is it? You can just deduct it from the payment for the goods."
Brother Dong nodded, opened the drawer of the desk, took out a stack of money, counted out three hundred and sixty yuan, then took out several stacks of bills and counted out the bills that Su Jinyan wanted from them.
"The bill is thirty dollars for you. This is the remaining money, three hundred and sixty."
Su Jinyan grabbed it and stuffed it directly into her bag, "Is there any seafood in it today?"
"No, the seafood will arrive tonight. If you want it, it will be delivered to you tomorrow morning."
"Oh, okay, what do you have tomorrow? Besides shrimp, crabs, scallops, etc., is there anything else?"
"We also have carp, grass carp, perch, yellow croaker, black carp, etc. Whichever one do you like to eat, I'll keep them and send them to you when the time comes. You can keep them in a bucket for a few days."
Zhou Xingdong thought Su Jinyan was pregnant and wanted to eat these things. Considering that it was inconvenient for her to run back and forth due to her pregnancy, he offered to deliver the goods.
Su Jinyan nodded, "Then you, leave me five of each kind of carp and grass carp, ten of each kind of perch, yellow croaker, and black carp, twenty-five female crabs and five male crabs, all big ones, twenty shrimps, and twenty kilograms of scallops of various kinds. Leave me some of the other fresh goods, too."
Zhou Xingdong looked at Su Jinyan in surprise. He didn't expect her to want so much.
Su Jinyan smiled and said, "I have many relatives, so if I give a few to each family, there won't be any left."
Zhou Xingdong nodded. "Okay, I'll send it to you tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock. Will I send it to Yanyuan?"
Su Jinyan thought for a moment, "Can you deliver it at nine o'clock? Can you deliver it to Chang'an Street?"
"OK."
Then, Su Jinyan wrote an address to Dong Ge, which was the courtyard house she bought. "I will deliver it to this place tomorrow. Dong Ge, you know it's not convenient for me to deliver goods now. From now on, I will have people put the things in the south room at the entrance of this courtyard. You can ask your people to pick up the goods there, is that okay?"
The house was very dilapidated and there was nothing inside. There were two low houses and several stoves built in the middle of the yard. It had been empty since she bought it and she had no time to renovate it.
It only takes more than ten minutes to get there from her house by bus, which is very convenient.
