"Tomorrow, my second brother and his wife will be in charge of selling rice and flour. My third brother will be in charge of selling rapeseed oil and salt. Dad will be in charge of all the vegetables, and Mom and I will be in charge of the fruit." Zheng Dandan made the arrangements. After she finished, she looked at everyone, "Anyone have any objections?"

"If you have any different opinions, just do as you say, my dear!" said Sun Cuilan.

Seeing that no one else objected, Zheng Dandan continued, "Okay, then it's settled. I'll set the prices first: rapeseed oil 80 cents per pound, salt 50 cents a bag, rice 13 cents per pound, flour 12 cents per pound, cabbage, radish, and potatoes 5 cents per pound, cucumbers 6 cents per pound, and oranges and apples 1.2 yuan per pound. No tickets required."

"It's so cheap, and you don't even need a ticket, how can you make money?" Zheng's father asked worriedly. When he first saw Zheng Dandan making so much money, he thought she was making profits by selling at high prices. Now he heard that the price was even cheaper than that of the supply and marketing cooperative!

"Dad, don't worry, I won't do business at a loss. The cost price is half of our set price." Zheng Dandan explained to her father, and at the same time made preparations in advance for taking half of the money.

"Why is the cost price so low?" Zheng's father was shocked.

"The supplier is capable. In fact, these things are not expensive. It's just that the costs such as transportation and labor have added a lot of price." Zheng Dandan would use Cheng Huadong as a shield when she was indecisive. While speaking, she was thinking in her mind when she should find Cheng Huadong for cooperation, otherwise she would be exposed sooner or later.

"Little sister, why don't you want a ticket? Many things require tickets, and we don't have many tickets at home now." Second brother Zheng Jiangong looked at Zheng Dandan in confusion, not understanding why she made such a decision.

Until now, tickets are still one of the indispensable things. And after Zheng's father was suspended, the Zheng family's sources of tickets have become fewer and fewer.

"Not asking for tickets can better attract customers to buy our products." Zheng Dandan replied that in the future, it is equivalent to a discount. Otherwise, why would consumers choose you?

"But even if we need tickets, we can definitely sell our products." Zheng Jiangong looked at the high-quality goods and thought of the slightly higher prices at the supply and marketing cooperative, and retorted.

"It's possible to sell them, but how long will it take? The discount isn't big enough, which will make people hesitate. We don't need tickets, so people will feel like they're getting a great deal. Even if they don't need it, they'll still rush to buy it. That way, we can make a quick decision without any effort." Zheng Dandan looked at Zheng Jiangong. "Although the authorities are turning a blind eye to small businesses right now, they haven't completely relaxed the rules yet!"

Besides, her profits were already sufficient, so she was content with what she had and didn't need to be greedy. It wasn't easy for ordinary people at the bottom of society, so being able to eat nutritiously at this time was considered good.

"But what if we don't have tickets to buy things?" Zheng Jiangong asked.

"Of course we exchange it. You have money, so why worry about not being able to exchange it for notes? We're doing business now, and a unified currency will make it easier to settle accounts," Zheng Dandan said. Seeing that Zheng Jiangong attached great importance to notes, she worried that he might suddenly exchange a large amount of notes. She continued, "And according to the current trend, notes will become increasingly useless."

"How is that possible?" Zheng Jiangong couldn't believe it.

The other members of the Zheng family also looked skeptical. Their deep-rooted beliefs made them think that tickets were important and would be used continuously.

"Why not? We used to be short of supplies, so we needed coupons to regulate the economy. Now that things are developing rapidly and the country is slowly recovering, supplies are increasing and becoming more plentiful. Will we still need coupons?" Zheng Dandan asked. To make it easier for the Zheng family to accept, she gave a real-life example. "Think about it, a dozen years ago, you could buy anything without a coupon. But now, eggs, crops from the fields, and even some products from the supply and marketing cooperatives, you can buy them with just cash."

The times have been advancing and changing silently.

These words shocked the Zheng family and they were unable to recover for a long time.

"What my younger sister said seems to be true." After a long silence, the second sister-in-law Fang Xiaoyu suddenly said.

When the others heard this, they woke up instantly.
