Chapter 126: Can you still eat when there is no bitterness?
"What would you like to order?" asked the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Wen Tang quickly glanced behind him to confirm that no one was coming to the supply and marketing cooperative at this time. He quickly took out a packaged soap from his bag and opened it in front of the salesperson.
As soon as I opened it, the salesperson shouted, "Comrade, what are you doing?"
"Are you engaging in speculation in front of us?" she said, and made as if she was going to go out and call for help.
Wen Tang quickly took out the certificate given by the brigade and said, "Comrade, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
"It's not speculation. Look, I have a certificate issued by our brigade."
The salesperson took it and took a look, and sure enough, there was a stamp from the commune.
Then he relaxed a little, "So what are you doing?"
Wen Tang continued to put on a good face, "It is like this comrade, this is the soap produced collectively by our brigade, and we want to supply it here."
"Take a look, do you need anything here?"
Soap is indeed in short supply. Not only is it difficult to buy, but the supply at each supply and marketing cooperative is also limited. People in remote areas cannot get such a scarce commodity.
Many people came to buy it but couldn’t find it.
If it is a normal channel, it is really necessary.
"We still have to discuss this with our leader, but..." The salesperson took the soap that Wen Tang opened, looked at it carefully, smelled it, and then asked, "What is your supply price?"
“How is the payment made?”
"For this, the minimum purchase price is usually ten yuan. You can pay the balance in advance. When all the goods are sold out and you get paid, you can pay us the balance..."
Wen Tang carefully explained the payment terms of his own products to the salesperson, and even wrote down the important parts with the pen and paper he brought with him.
The salesperson looked at her handwriting and couldn't help but praise her, "Comrade, your handwriting is quite beautiful. How many years of education did you have?"
Wen Tang scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "I didn't go to school for many years, I just graduated from junior high school."
But these days, graduating from junior high school is a relatively high level of education, and many girls have never been to school!
So after she finished speaking, the salesperson was obviously more polite to her, "Those are pretty good, you can be considered literate, which is better than being illiterate, and your handwriting is beautiful."
"Now you are working for your commune brigade, so you will have a stable job in the future, which is good."
Wen Tang really wanted to have a stable job, but he couldn't even think about how painful it would be to take the civil service exam.
But now he dared not deny it and could only laugh it off, "Yes, it's better to recognize the characters."
Then she quickly took out two bars of soap from her bag and stuffed them into the salesperson's hands, "Sister, if you don't mind this, take it back and try it."
The salesperson was stunned at first, then surprised and embarrassed, "Oh, no, this won't work. It's such an expensive item, how can I get it for free?"
"If it doesn't work, how about this, I'll buy yours, okay?"
Wen Tang stopped her from making excuses with one sentence, "Sister, if you give me money, wouldn't we be speculating?"
"No, no, this is a mistake."
After Wen Tang said this, the other party really didn't know what to say, but after thinking about it, he said, "Then I'll take one back and try it out. If it works, I'll help you put in some good words to the leader."
Wen Tang continued her words and said, "If you don't mind, you can ask the leader to give it a try."
"Well... okay then, I'll keep it and show it to the leader later."
"Well, thank you for your help. I'll come back to ask you in a couple of days."
"OK!"
"Sister, I'll go first."
"By the way, my last name is Wen, and my name is Wen Tang."
"Comrade Wen, please drive slowly!"
Wen Tang rode his bicycle to the next supply and marketing cooperative.
Their county has more than a dozen towns and nearly twenty communes.
Wen Tang only visited five supply and marketing cooperatives in a day.
When we returned at night, it was already dark.
Zhong Meixian finally felt relieved when Wen Tang rode his bike home. "Where did you go? Why did you come back just now?"
Wen Tang waved her hands and said, "Mom, let me drink some water first." Her throat felt like it was on fire.
Zhong Meixian ran happily to pour water for people.
After drinking a whole enamel jar of water, Wen Tang felt that his throat was his own again.
Facing the concerned looks from Chi Yue and Zhong Meixian, Wen Tang began to talk about where he had been during the day. "Please wait for two days and I will get a reply. I will continue tomorrow and try to visit all the supply and marketing cooperatives in our county first."
Zhong Meixian was not happy. "You keep running all day, and after a while you will be exhausted like a straw."
In fact, Zhong Meixian just felt that her daughter-in-law was at a disadvantage.
The two families make money together, so why should their daughter-in-law be asked to do all the errands?
But my granddaughter-in-law's belly was indeed bulging.
However, Zhong Meixian couldn't help but said, "Wait until Jing Shen has a rest, let him run more. He is a man, tall and long-legged, and he can ride a bicycle faster than you."
"He's also a teacher. He knows more than you."
When Zhong Meixian said this, she carefully glanced at her daughter and granddaughter-in-law again and again.
She wanted to see if these two people were really pretending to be stupid!
If the two of them kept silent, they would just be bullying their silly daughter-in-law, and she wouldn't agree to that.
Chi Yue sat next to Wen Tang, using her hands to tidy up the messy hair on Wen Tang's cheeks. The distress in her eyes was even greater than Zhong Meixian's. She actually agreed with Zhong Meixian's words, "You have to eat one bite at a time, and do things bit by bit. Don't work too hard."
"Take your time."
"Grandma is right. When Jing Shen is resting on Sunday, let him help run more. We will do it little by little at first. There is no need to expand the market too much at the beginning."
"If we slowly build up our business, maybe people will come to us!"
Chi Yue felt really distressed, but she was pregnant and couldn't help in this way.
Feeling distressed, Chi Yue asked, "What did you eat for lunch?"
Wen Tang took her hand and rubbed it in her palm. "Well, I spent two cents on a bowl of noodles, and I also spent a lot of soap."
"I don't know what the subsequent response will be. I will soon lose money just on food and soap."
"I'll give you some money tomorrow so you can eat better." Chi Yue said immediately.
Wen Tang raised his head and said, "I have money!"
Thinking of something, she added, "It's not that I don't want to eat it, it's just that I'm pressed for time."
"I have to get up earlier tomorrow, otherwise if I get up late, I won't be able to run any distance."
Because Wen Tang had to get up early, he didn't sleep with Chi Yue at night.
She was so tired that she fell asleep immediately.
The person who was most happy that Chi Yue stopped sleeping with Wen Tang was Lin Jingshen.
Lin Jingshen said, "My aunt is quite capable. She used to love sleeping in, but now that she's busy, she's not afraid of hard work."
Chi Yue dotes on Lin Jingshen, but she dotes on Wen Tang even more!
I was already feeling sorry for my son's hard work, and when I heard the man say this, I immediately retorted, "How can you still endure it when there is no hardship?"
"Besides, if I wasn't pregnant, would she have to suffer so much alone?"
Lin Jingshen: "..."
I don't think I said anything, I just praised it.
But Chi Yue didn't give him a chance to explain. She just threw a quilt at him and slept with him separately at night.
Lin Jingshen: "..."
I really didn’t say anything!
