Chapter 30 Arriving at the County Town



There are two buses from the commune to the county town every day, one at 9 am and the other at 3 pm. Neither time is suitable for her, so she didn't plan to take it.

The journey was about a hundred miles, and Lian Xiaomin found a retro jeep from the space, which looked very similar to the jeeps that existed in this era.

She found this in the parking lot of the logistics port. There were a lot of cars parked there. It was so cool. Now they were all hers, but she couldn't take them out.

The jeep is the most suitable. Just drive it to the county town. There are hardly any people on the road.

Moreover, this jeep looked quite old. It was not uncommon in this era. It was okay if someone saw it. She was just being willful this time. She would not drive it in broad daylight in the future.

The roads were all dirt roads, and Lian Xiaomin drove for about an hour to the edge of the county town, where she stopped. If she had taken a bus, the car would have driven even slower.

After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, he quickly put the jeep into the space and continued walking into the county town.

The county town was not small. Lian Xiaomin walked around and saw the supply and marketing cooperative, a state-owned restaurant, and a Red Star Store, which was a bit like a small department store with three floors and a wider variety of items than the supply and marketing cooperative.

She went into the Red Star Store and took a look around. As it was Sunday, there were quite a lot of people there, so she listened to other people talking to the salesperson and learned about the prices of the goods.

Bicycles are sold on the third floor here. She was very curious why bicycles and some large items are sold on high floors. Wouldn’t it be tiring to carry them?

Probably because they are quite expensive, there are four or five bicycles lined up in this store. When she heard someone say that a Phoenix brand bicycle costs 160 yuan, of course a ticket is required, she made a note of it.

Lian Xiaomin thought, there is a Phoenix brand bicycle in her space, if there is no ticket, it should be worth about 200 yuan, right?

Next time she can give Qian Ye a few bicycles. This one costs a lot of money, and there will definitely be a lot of people who want it without a ticket.

In a village as big as Sandaogou, there are only two bicycles. One is ridden by Chen Xiaoyuan, which is a dowry given by her parents. The other one belongs to the village committee. Village cadres usually ride bicycles when they go to meetings.

Any villager who needs it can borrow it, 20 cents each time.

Walking on the streets of the county town, she thought to herself that when the winter got even colder, with ice and snow everywhere, she would stay at home with her younger siblings and would not go out much.

This time I'm strolling around the county town, so I'll sell some goods, learn about the situation in the county town, and get in touch with some people and things.

Where is the best place to ship goods?

I heard from my uncle before that there are several factories in Jianye County, including a steel plant, a cannery, and a textile factory, all of which are good units.

She plans to try the staff quarters of these factories.

After asking for directions, she walked along the street, intending to go to the steel plant’s staff quarters first.

On the way, we also met people from the Red Team, who were wearing red armbands.

Those people looked so heroic and high-spirited, but I didn't know what they were doing.

It seems that things are not peaceful here in the county town, and things are getting chaotic even earlier than in the countryside of their commune.

Lian Xiaomin walked a long way. If it were in modern times, she would take out her cell phone and find that she had walked more than 30,000 steps.

Nowadays, you have to rely on bus No. 11 to go anywhere, which is really tiring.

We finally reached the steel plant’s staff quarters, which looked to be quite large.

According to the current situation, every household has a large population, and this courtyard can accommodate one or two thousand people.

She first found an empty alley nearby, slipped into the space, tore herself apart, took a disguise pill, and with a thought she transformed into Xiaoyu's appearance.

After thinking about it, he put an 8-pound quilt and several pieces of cotton cloth in the backpack, all of which were cut into two-meter pieces. There were army green, bright red and plaid ones.

It also contained some brown wool yarn and a few bright red pillowcases.

After carrying the backpack out of the space, Lian Xiaomin put on a white cloth mask and walked slowly at the entrance of the family compound.

It's almost two or three in the afternoon now, and there are quite a lot of people coming in and out.

After a while, she locked onto a target.

A woman in her forties, wearing clothes without a single patch on them, walked out of the yard.

He was wearing a watch on his wrist, so he must be in pretty good condition.

She walked up to the woman and whispered, "Auntie, I have some cotton cloth and wool here, do you want some?"

The other party was stunned for a moment, then looked at the young girl in front of him with surprise.

His eyes fell on the large backpack she was carrying. He nodded, calmed himself, and quickly looked around.

Feeling that no one was paying attention to this side, she immediately grabbed the little girl's arm and walked into the alley next to her.

"Can you show me if you have any bright red cotton cloth? What color is the wool yarn?" the middle-aged woman said expectantly.

Lian Xiaomin put the backpack on the ground, opened the lid, and said, "There are red ones. Auntie, can you take a look?"

The middle-aged woman was very satisfied when she saw the bright red cotton cloth, and a smile appeared on her face.

I took another look and found some red checkered fabric, which was also pretty good.

Her eldest son was getting married soon, and she was in need of red cloth to make a dress for her future daughter-in-law.

That supply and marketing cooperative didn't have any red cloth for sale, and you couldn't see any bright colors anywhere.

She also took a fancy to brown wool. When she touched it in her hands, she found it was pure wool. As the weather was getting cold, she could knit a sweater for her eldest son. He would look great in it when he got married!

When Lian Xiaomin went out to get something, the woman saw there was a quilt underneath!

Oh my god, this is really a good opportunity. I was just worrying about this, so I quickly asked, "Girl, are you selling this quilt too? How much is it?"

Lian Xiaomin pulled out a quilt and said, "Auntie, this is a quilt weighing eight kilograms. It's very thick. It's 40 yuan each. How many pieces of cotton cloth do you want? Each piece of cloth is 2 meters long and costs 8 yuan. The wool yarn is 10 yuan per kilogram."
