After calming himself down, Xie Yan quickly asked, "How big is it?" The kang beds in the countryside are all quite large.
Xiao Wu calmly waved his hand, "Don't worry, they're all big quilts, two meters by two and a half meters."
Xie Yan silently estimated the size of his own kang (heated brick bed), and thought it was alright.
As for Gu Bin's family, that would be even more feasible, since their kang (heated brick bed) isn't very big to begin with.
Seeing that Xie Yan was interested, Xiao Wu ran into the house and brought out a quilt wrapped in coarse cloth.
He deliberately opened a corner and said, "Brother, look at this quality. If I weren't broke, I would have taken it home and built it myself long ago."
Indeed, it was quite nice; a pearl-white quilt peeked out from under the homespun cloth, emitting a soft, faint glow.
Xie Yan touched it and found it to be very nice to the touch. It was indeed a good product, and he liked it more and more the more he looked at it.
I was initially only 100% excited, but after seeing the actual product, my excitement level jumped to 200%.
Xie Yan was extremely satisfied, but he remained calm on the surface. "It's alright, though, it's fine as a gift."
Looking up at Xiao Wu, she said, "Is this the only one? Giving only one as a gift doesn't seem appropriate."
Xiao Wu was stunned. Is this how rich people give gifts?
So extravagant!
However, he likes wealthy people like that.
He immediately laughed and said, "How could that be, brother? I have another bed here."
"Gifts should always come in pairs. Wait here, I'll go get them for you right away."
"They're all from the same supplier, so the quality and workmanship are exactly the same; there's nothing wrong with them."
That's what they said, but after Xiao Wu brought out the other bed, Xie Yan checked it again and it was indeed the same.
The items were great, and the price was also very attractive. When Xie Yan heard that a bed cost 100 yuan, he gasped in surprise.
How many medicinal herbs would he have to dig up to save up that hundred yuan?
Why!
How come money disappears so quickly!
Seeing Xie Yan's expression, Xiao Wu was afraid he would try to bargain again, so he quickly said, "Brother, this quilt is a bit expensive, but the quality is really unbeatable."
Seeing that Xie Yan was about to speak, he interrupted again, saying, "This item was left here by someone else to buy; the price cannot be negotiated."
Xie Yan: "..."
Okay!
With a heavy heart, she pulled out the money, handed it to him, and said, "Put it away!"
Xiao Wu smiled and accepted the money Xie Yan handed over, saying, "Okay."
After saying that, he reached out to unwrap the homespun cloth covering the quilt.
Xie Yan grabbed his hand and said incredulously, "It's already so expensive, and you're going to take off this little bit of homespun cloth?"
When Xiao Wu met Xie Yan's eyes, he felt a moment of embarrassment.
But those who dare to speculate and profiteer in this era must have a strong mentality. They quickly adjusted themselves and said with a smile, "Since you need it, I'll give it to you."
He thought that rich people wouldn't care about such coarse cloth, but he didn't expect that rich people do care.
As he spoke, he wrapped the blanket up again, saying, "Here, let me pack it for you."
But Xie Yan's own snakeskin bag was already full, mainly because the two rolls of cloth took up too much space.
Xiao Wu looked at it and said with a smile, "It's okay, brother, you wait here, I'll get you something good."
As he spoke, he went inside and brought out a clean urea bag. Xie Yan was a little surprised. Did they already have urea in this day and age?
After Xiao Wu took it out, he saw Xie Yan staring at the bag and immediately smiled and said, "This is a good thing. Let me tell you, many people have made pants out of this bag. It looks really good."
He actually wanted to dress like that too, but his boss wouldn't allow it, saying that only country bumpkins dress like that, and he wasn't allowed to do it.
Xie Yan wasn't interested in the bag; he was interested in the urea, the fertilizer. "Hey! Xiao Wu, do you know where to buy this urea?"
Xiao Wu really didn't know. His bag was delivered by another delivery person. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "I don't know either. This belongs to someone else."
Seeing that Xiao Wu really didn't know, Xie Yan stopped asking and planned to go back and ask his father-in-law. Since they could see urea bags here, it meant that there was urea here.
We'll see if we can get some for the village to help increase its grain production.
Finally, Xie Yan carried a bag of urea on his left and a snakeskin bag on his right, slowly weaving through the alleys.
Finally, in a secluded spot, I put the things in my spatial storage. Of course, I didn't put everything in; I just took out a blanket and tied it to the back of the bicycle to make it look like a proper space.
Hua turned around and strolled around the supply and marketing cooperative, buying some candy and biscuits. When she passed by the state-run restaurant, smelling the aroma coming from inside, and thinking about the 340 silver dollars that had been crossed out, Xie Yan forced herself not to look at it, not wanting to go, and walked straight ahead without glancing at it.
But his stomach was completely out of his control, rumbling incessantly. After walking halfway, Xie Yan dejectedly turned back.
Why! !
He'll only eat here once; he'll never come to the commune again.
After entering the house, Xie Yan skipped over the meat dishes with difficulty and moved on to the vegetarian mountain.
Finally, I ordered a bowl of vegetarian wontons.
Fortunately, the culinary skills of the state-run restaurants were still excellent; even the vegetarian wontons were fragrant, spicy, and delicious.
After finishing his meal, Xie Yan rode his bicycle home, not wanting to stay in the commune for even a second longer; his wallet was already completely empty.
When Yu Yue heard that it cost 340, she was also taken aback. "Are you sure you didn't misread it? Is it 140?"
Xie Yan slumped on the table, looking utterly hopeless, and said, "It's 340, not 140."
Yu Yue stepped forward and asked, "What did you buy?"
Yu Yue looked at the things Xie Yan had taken out, and sighed, "From now on, I'll lock up all your money, and I'll keep the key."
Xie Yan was incredibly extravagant.
Isn't it a waste to buy so much fabric at once?
And that blanket, ugh!
Forget it, if you like building things, then go ahead and build them!
But this cloth and milk powder are completely unnecessary!
My baby is breastfed, what formula should I give him/her?!
When Xie Yan heard that he had been stripped of his financial power, although he had never had any financial power before, he still agreed, as he felt that he was not suited to have money.
Otherwise, I'd want to buy everything I see that looks good.
At his current rate of earning money, if he didn't go to the black market, he simply couldn't keep up with the rate at which he spends it.
This is unacceptable.
We'll have to raise children in the future, and there will be many places where we need to spend money.
You must get rid of this habit.
The day before the thank-you banquet, he said he wouldn't go to the commune again in the near future, but he was proven wrong the very next day.
When Gu Bin came over for dinner, he learned that Xie Yan had managed to get a bicycle ticket, and he immediately became happy. "That's great! I'll go buy it tomorrow. When I get married, I'll use your new bicycle as the lead vehicle."
Xie Yan was speechless. "I didn't expect you to be so hypocritical. We're all from the same village, everyone knows each other, why do you need a new car to lead the way?"
