Chapter 69 Selling coarse grains

Thinking of this, Auntie Pang said with a smile: "Xiaomei's cousin, you are going to your sister's house! What a coincidence! I also want to go to her house. Let's go together."

It’s better to ask Sister Jin to help talk to her. It will be easier to get things done if you have someone in the court.

Deng Qingling was shocked by Auntie Fatty's lies. She had clearly seen them coming down from upstairs. What did she mean? "You need me for something?"

As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you. So let's see what she wants to do. "Okay, let's do it together."

Aunt Pang nodded with a smile, and pulled the child to follow Deng Qingling.

Just as she reached the door, before Deng Qingling had time to speak, Auntie Pang called the door, "Sister Jin, Sister Jin Xiaomei's cousin is here, open the door quickly."

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" Sister Liang Jin was washing clothes. When she heard someone calling her, she stood up, wiped the water on her hands on the clothes, and came out to open the door.

"Aqing, her fat aunt, come in quickly." Sister Liang Jin was very happy to see Deng Qingling coming. She had originally wanted to ask her daughter-in-law to take a leave to go back, but now it's okay, she doesn't have to take a leave.

"Auntie, I brought you some vegetables." After Deng Qingling said that, she put the backpack on the ground and took out all the things.

"Aqing, you are so polite to bring so many things." Sister Liang Jin did not dislike the dried vegetables, cabbage, potatoes and soybeans that Deng Qingling took out.

Although you can buy these things yourself, it takes a lot of effort to buy so many things.

Deng Qingling smiled and said, "It's okay. These are all grown at home. I thought we didn't have much to eat right now, so I gave some to you."

It's not good to go empty-handed, so it's just right to bring some agricultural products so that you can have vegetables to eat during the lean period.

"It's hard for you to carry it all the way here. Please sit down first. I'll go get you a glass of water." After saying this, Sister Liang Jin went to the kitchen.

Auntie Fatty followed him in and whispered, "Sister Jin, could you please ask Xiaomei's cousin if she could sell me some food, meat, or something like that?"

Sister Liang Jin originally wanted to call her away so that she could discuss business with Deng Qingling. Even if she knew, she would still send her away. "Okay, you go home first. I'll take care of this matter. I'll come find you when the time comes."

"Really? Thank you in advance. I'll go home and wait for your good news." Aunt Pang smiled instantly when she heard her say that.

"Xiaomei's cousin, you guys take your time chatting, I'm going home first." After saying that, Aunt Pang went home to rest.

Deng Qingling nodded without saying anything and watched her leave.

"Come, Aqing, drink some water." Sister Liang Jin said as she handed the bowl to Deng Qingling.

"Thank you, Auntie." Deng Qingling took the bowl and took a sip. She almost vomited. How much sugar was in it? It was so sweet that it was cloying.

"Auntie, please add more water for me. This syrup is too sweet."

"Maybe I was busy talking to Aunt Pang and didn't pay attention and put too much. I'll add water now." Sister Liang Jin explained.

Deng Qingling took a small sip and this time the sweetness was just right.

Seeing that Deng Qingling didn't say anything, Sister Liang Jin spoke first, "Ah Qing, I wonder if you are planning to sell food this time?"

"I'm planning to sell some coarse grains this time." Deng Qingling told her truthfully.

I have collected a lot of sweet potatoes and taro in the space and am ready to sell a batch.

Sister Liang Jin asked, "How many pounds does it weigh?" If it wasn't much, she would take it all.

Deng Qingling didn't say anything, just stretched out a finger.

Even if Deng Qingling didn't say it explicitly, Sister Liang Jin guessed it, one thousand pounds.

It can't be a hundred pounds, right? A hundred pounds is about one sack. If it's ten thousand pounds, we need a tractor. The target is too big, and we are powerless!

Sister Liang Jin asked again, "What are these? How much is one pound?"

Deng Qingling said: "Soybeans are 0.1 cent per jin, sweet potatoes are 0.7 cents per jin, and taro is 0.8 cents per jin."

Coarse grains are very cheap and not worth much. Deng Qingling sold the coarse grains this time not to make a lot of money, but mainly because the coarse grains in the space were piled up like a mountain.

Sister Liang Jin thought that coarse grains were cheap and her family could eat them all, so she said, "I want all of these. Do you have fine grains and meat?"

"I have 100 kilograms of rice and 10 kilograms of pork belly. The rice is 1.2 yuan with a ticket and 1.8 yuan without a ticket. The pork is 1.1 yuan without a ticket." Deng Qingling had not planned to sell the meat this time. The pork in the space was getting less and less, and she wanted to keep it for her family to eat slowly.

If I remember correctly, the Cultural Revolution was about to begin, so I should come to the county town less often in the future.

Sister Liang Jin was surprised that the price hadn't increased. "The price is still the same as before."

Xiaomei's cousin really takes care of her relatives.

"Aunt, I only sell this price to my own people. It would be 10% more expensive on the black market. You can't tell anyone!" Deng Qingling said softly.

Sister Liang Jin nodded and said, "Well, don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."

"Okay, Auntie, we'll meet at the old place in ten minutes." Deng Qingling said, then stood up and walked out.

"Okay, see you at the usual place." After watching Deng Qingling leave, Sister Liang Jin went back to her room to prepare money. Her family's food and meat coupons had long been used up.

Deng Qingling walked towards the bamboo forest after leaving the family area. When she reached the depths of the bamboo forest, she took the things out of the space.

Then I started to do the math: 700ⅹ0.07=49, 200ⅹ0.08=16, 100ⅹ0.1=10, 100ⅹ18=180, 10ⅹ1.1=11, 49+16+10+180+11=266.

Soon, Sister Liang Jin arrived.

Deng Qingling said, "Aunt, take a look. There are 700 kilograms of sweet potatoes, 200 kilograms of taro, 100 kilograms of soybeans, 100 kilograms of rice, and 10 kilograms of pork."

"Okay." Sister Liang Jin was not polite. If you ask me to look at the goods, I will look at them.

Sister Liang Jin untied the sack and nodded as she looked at them. They were all good and the weight was not less.

"Auntie, seven hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes are forty-nine yuan, two hundred kilograms of taro are sixteen yuan, one hundred kilograms of soybeans are ten yuan, one hundred kilograms of rice are one hundred and eighty yuan, and ten kilograms of pork are eleven yuan. The total is two hundred and sixty-six yuan." Seeing that she had almost finished reading, Deng Qingling told her the results of her calculations.

Sister Liang Jin never thought that Deng Qingling would lie to her. It must be the amount she said!

Sister Liang Jin handed the money to Deng Qingling and said, "Aqing, count it."

"Okay." Deng Qingling didn't refuse, so let's count!

Deng Qingling ordered twice but still had two cents too much. She said, "Auntie, you gave me two cents too much," and then she took out the two cents and returned them to Sister Liang Jin.
