After seeing Lu Xingyan off, Chen Suihuan saw that it was early, so he went to the state-owned restaurant and bought some bacon and braised pork, preparing to take them back to eat with Qin Fei and the others.
After buying the dumplings and braised pork and putting them in an empty corner, Chen Suihuan started looking for Hei.
A few days ago, Chen Suihuan asked where Chen Ye and Dai Wuhei were. These two often went up the mountain to hunt. If they encountered a prey that was too big, they would not dare to bring it back and would take it to Heilongjiang to sell it.
When Chen Suihuan asked Hei's address, the two did not hide it and told him directly. Today, there happened to be a chance, so Chen Suihuan had to go for a walk.
Not knowing if he came at the wrong time or what was going on, after turning around twice, Chen Suihuan still couldn't find where Hei was.
Finally, Chen Suihuan had no choice but to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, take out 100 eggs and 100 duck eggs from the space, and exchange them for the supply and marketing cooperative.
The supply and marketing cooperatives buy eggs, duck eggs, chicken and other things, but the purchase price is lower than that of the black market.
An egg sold for three cents in Heilongjiang, but only two cents here in the supply and marketing cooperative.
But this time Chen Suihuan didn't come here to make money. These 200 eggs were just a stepping stone.
"Hello comrade, here are some chicken and duck eggs from your supply and marketing cooperative?" Chen Suihuan walked into the public marketing cooperative and asked directly.
An older sister who was lazily sitting at the counter heard Chen Suihuan's question, leaned over to take a look, and her eyes immediately lit up when she saw the two full baskets of chicken and duck eggs.
People in this era don’t have enough to eat, let alone chickens. In rural areas, free-range chickens are mostly eaten as vegetable leaves and sweet potato skins.
You can imagine how small the egg is when it is born.
The eggs in the space were similar to those in modern times, large and round. Chen Suihuan had picked out very small ones among the 100 or so of them, but they were still quite eye-catching.
"The eggs are of such good quality. What do you feed the chickens? Are they all bran?" the salesperson asked quickly.
In this era, bran was used to feed pigs, and feeding chickens was considered a luxury.
Chen Suihuan pretended to be simple and honest and smiled embarrassedly: "It's just ordinary vegetable leaves to eat. Mother was afraid that you wouldn't like them, so she picked out the big ones and asked you to bring them over."
"So that's how it is. These two baskets of chicken and duck eggs are all gone."
There were baskets of chicken eggs and baskets of duck eggs, which were much larger than those of normal chickens and ducks. The salesperson was not stupid, so he would naturally accept such good eggs.
Eggs were two cents and duck eggs were three cents. After counting the number of eggs and duck eggs, the salesperson came over immediately and gave Chen Suihuan one dollar.
After getting the money, Chen Suihuan did not leave, but started to pick out fabrics. The weather was getting cold soon, and there were no thick cotton-padded jackets in the space. Chen Suihuan had to find a tailor to sew himself a few cotton-padded jackets to last through the winter.
"Your fabrics are so expensive, can you make them cheaper?" Looking at this piece and that piece, Chen Suihuan pretended to be embarrassed and asked the salesperson.
When the elder sister heard this, she hesitated for a moment and said, "We do have some cheap fabrics here, and they are not cheap, but they are all defective. Can you accept them?"
Chen Suihuan just wanted to know this and nodded quickly: "Wang, sell some to you. You haven't worn new clothes for a long time."
The eldest sister was a nice person. After hearing what Chen Suihuan said, she immediately took her to the warehouse in the back to check the defective cloth.
The warehouse is filled with a variety of things, such as kettles, teapots, pots and pans, shoes and clothes.
"Are these defective items? Do you want to sell them?" Chen Suihuan looked at these things, many of which she needed.
"These are defective products and hard to sell. If you want to, just pick some out." said the eldest sister.
Chen Suihuan immediately became interested and picked out a porcelain teapot, a thermos, a few pairs of working gloves, and wear-resistant yellow-top shoes for working in the fields, so he got two pairs of all sizes.
"Why do you have so many things?" The eldest sister was amazed. There were so many things, and even if they were defective, they were not cheap.
Chen Suihuan didn't know if the money he had was enough.
Chen Suihuan said: "I have many brothers and sisters at home, and their shoes are all worn out. Now that I see a cheap pair, I want to buy them and give them each a pair."
Seeing that Chen Suihuan was so sensible, the eldest sister stopped urging him and accompanied him to find shoes with smaller flaws.
After buying a lot of miscellaneous things, Chen Suihuan went to buy cloth, most of which had the wrong patterns printed on them or the colors were contaminated.
Chen Suihuan bought four rolls of fairly good quality cloth at once, and when he went to count the money, it came to eleven dollars.
When it was time to pay, Chen Suihuan searched in his pocket for a long time, and finally gathered some loose change from his space and gave it to the salesperson.
After the payment was made, Chen Suihuan left the supply and marketing cooperative and found a corner where no one was. After putting the things in the space, he picked up a piece of cloth and a bag of cotton.
She couldn't make clothes, so she had to find a tailor.
It was easy to find a tailor shop. I gave him cloth and cotton and asked him to measure the size of the clothes. I estimated that I could make three sets of clothes, two thick ones and one thinner one.
Chen Suihuan didn't ask the tailor to make cotton shoes for the time being. She thought about going to the mountain in a few days to catch more wild rabbits, and then make rabbit leather shoes, which would definitely be warmer than cotton shoes.
After paying the deposit, Chen Suihuan took the note given by the tailor and left the tailor shop.
She did not wait to ride on Brother Lu Xingyan's ox cart, but walked back to the Victory Brigade on foot.
Lu Xingyan was not there, and Chen Suihuan was not familiar with Lu Xingyan's family, let alone anything to talk about. It would be uncomfortable to stay together, so it would be better for her to go back alone.
It was already past two in the afternoon when we walked back to the team. Gao Yue and the others were all in the yard, looking at the yams all over the ground. It seemed that they had just come down the mountain.
"Have you eaten? I bought some meatballs and braised pork and brought them to you."
Chen Suihuan had taken out the meatballs and braised pork from the space halfway, and was now carrying them on the table.
Gao Yue was the first to stand up after smelling the food: "I haven't eaten yet! I'm just waiting for your help! Sui Huan, you are such a lifesaver!"
Qin Fei also came over: "Hurry up and save this kid's life. He has been busy for most of the day and didn't even have time to drink water."
Xu Tao and the others were more reserved, but that was all. Chen Suihuan's rice dumplings and braised pork were quickly dealt with.
After eating and resting for a while, everyone discussed and decided to go up the mountain again.
Not only will the weather get colder, but the harvest will also begin soon, so firewood must be stockpiled during these days to last the winter.
Otherwise, once the rush to harvest begins, they will be exhausted just from working and will have no time to collect firewood.
