Chapter 80 Letter from Yang Suyun

After the call, Su Mo thought about going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some more meat. She only had one pound left from the previous purchase.

With the one given by Geng Changqing, Su Mo now had ten pounds of meat coupons. She would go see how the meat tasted first, and then decide how many pounds to buy.

Not long after leaving the post office, Su Mo ran into Sister Liu.

Sister Liu was chatting and laughing with a middle-aged woman pushing a bicycle. When she saw Su Mo, she quickly sent her away and ran towards Su Mo.

"Sister Su, what are you doing?" Sister Liu was a little disappointed to see that there was only a basket hanging on Su Mo's bicycle, and it didn't look like there was anything on it.

"I'm here to do something today." Su Mo said, "Sister Liu, you're not working today? I'm just about to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to see if there's any meat for sale."

"I'm on holiday today. During this period, all the public rations are distributed, so there's no shortage of meat. Our supply and marketing cooperative receives four pigs every day." Sister Liu said.

Usually, we get one pig a day, and occasionally two pigs on holidays. Only during this period of time when the public rations are distributed, can we get four pigs.

The purchasing station collects so many pigs, but there's not enough food for them to eat. If they don't eat, they're afraid that the pigs will get hungry and thin, so they just kill them nearby and provide more meat to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the city and county.

Anyway, now that the weather is cold, the meat can be stored for a long time, so everyone takes advantage of this time to buy more and make pickled meat or bacon, saving it for later.

"Sister Su, did you finish all the meat you bought last time?"

"How could it be that fast? It's made into bacon. I'm going to buy more now that there's enough meat."

Sister Liu's eyes flashed, and she approached Su Mo and said, "Sister, you have a channel and can get the meat, but the price will be a little higher. Do you want it?"

For someone like Sister Su, she would definitely eat meat once every two or three days, not to mention every day, so she would definitely want a lot of meat.

"How much?" Su Mo also asked in a low voice.

"Sister, let's do this. We're so familiar with each other. If you bring me a few more baskets of fruit, I'll give it to you for 1.2 yuan per pound. I guarantee that it's all fresh and good meat." Sister Liu said.

She really didn't make much money at this price. She had to pay 1.1 yuan for this meat. This is because she is an acquaintance, so I gave her this price. Other second-hand dealers would charge 1.3 yuan.

Su Mo thought for a moment and said, "I want 50 kilograms of meat. Can you get it?"

Sister Liu took a breath. This might not only be used to make bacon, but also bacon.

"Sure." Sister Liu gritted her teeth. For the fruit in Sister Su's hand, there was nothing she couldn't do.

"Can you get it today?" Su Mo asked. The weather was getting colder. There was no good excuse, and it was not good to go to the city all the time.

Sister Liu frowned. It was in broad daylight, and it was really not easy to get so much meat.

"Do you have any more oranges? Can you send them all today?"

"There aren't many oranges left. I can only give you one more basket at most, but I can get you two baskets of yellow peaches." People here love canned yellow peaches, so they must also love fresh yellow peaches.

Sure enough, when she heard about yellow peaches, Sister Liu's eyes lit up.

"Okay, then yellow peaches. How many baskets can you send today?"

"I can send you four baskets at most today."

"Can't you send more?"

"No, sister, it's cold now, and it's hard to get fruits." Scarcity makes things valuable. If you get too many at once, they will be worthless in the future.

"Okay, then one basket of oranges, one basket of pears, and two baskets of yellow peaches." Sister Liu said.

"Okay, I'll send them directly to your house when I get them."

Sister Liu nodded, asked Su Mo to hurry up, and went home herself. She hurried to find her husband and asked him to send someone to deliver the meat.

Therefore, Su Mo spent more than two hours delivering four baskets of fruits to Sister Liu, basically ensuring a frequency of more than one trip per hour.

The rest of the time, she was on the deserted road outside the city, absorbing energy in the bushes. She could feel that her ability was just one step away from the middle stage of the first level.

Four baskets of fruits were sold for a total of 117.7 yuan.

The price of yellow peaches in the supply and marketing cooperative is similar to that of apples, and they are sold at the same price as apples, 0.5 yuan per catty.

When Su Mo delivered the second batch of fruits, the meat she wanted was also delivered. Su Mo checked it and found that the meat was indeed good and fresh. It should have been killed today.

50 kilograms of meat, and she gave 60 yuan.

"Sister, if you have something good in the future, you must think of me." Sister Liu said with a smile when sending Su Mo out.

She would sell Sister Su's meat so cheaply, firstly to sell her a good deal, and secondly to show her strength. Sister Su can get high-quality fresh fruits, and she is not bad either. She has a wide range of channels and can basically get something of everything.

"Okay, no problem." Su Mo said. Sister Liu is still a very stable partner for now, and she has no plans to change people for the time being.

On the way back, when there was no one around, Su Mo put all the 50 kilograms of meat she bought into the space.

In this way, this winter, there is basically no need to worry about meat. Occasionally, she can use the meat coupons to buy some from the commune supply and marketing cooperative to conceal the source of the meat.

After returning to the brigade, Su Mo found that the village was quite lively. Seeing several aunties walking happily towards the brigade headquarters, she stopped and asked, "Auntie, what happened in the brigade? Why is it so lively?"

The auntie smiled and said, "Su Zhiqing, it's nothing serious. People from the credit union came down to encourage everyone to save money. As long as you open an account, you will be given a one-foot cloth coupon."

Su Mo: ...

It turns out that banks have started to attract deposits since this era.

It is estimated that they heard that the Lujia Village Brigade has a lot of money, so they came down to set up a designated place to open a deposit, and you don’t have to go to the bank.

The director of this credit union is really sharp. He even gave away cloth coupons for opening an account.

In those days, cloth coupons were very attractive to ordinary people.

In the countryside, each person was only given a cloth coupon of three feet and four inches per year. To make a new set of clothes, the cloth coupons of three or four people had to be pooled together. New clothes were made in turns: me this year, you next year, and him the year after. Families with many children might not get a turn for several years.

Su Mo also wanted to see the excitement, so she rode to the brigade headquarters.

Not to mention, there were quite a few people opening savings accounts.

These days, people's thoughts are pure.

The director of the credit union praised everyone, saying that if they deposited their spare money in the bank, it would be loaned to the country for construction. This created a great atmosphere. In addition, cloth coupons were distributed, so as long as the families in the brigade were not poor, they all came to open accounts and deposit money.

For rural people, being able to save money in a bank is a big deal.

So, the members of the brigade were happy, and the people of the credit union were happy too. It was really a win-win situation.

Just when Su Mo was about to go back, the postman who had just arrived called her: "Comrade Su Mo, there is a letter for you."

Su Mo was surprised to see who wrote to her. When she took the letter, she saw that it was from Yang Suyun!
