Chapter 78 Material Exchange
Without waiting for people to raise questions, Lu Qiaoge said, "If it's not a complete currency transaction, there will definitely be flaws. For example, I only have ten cents in my hand, but I like the beans from the east and the carrots from the west. So, we should try to use small denominations. It's OK to write a few large denominations."
Everyone nodded in agreement. This was a good idea. The subdistrict office was just the middleman, and it was purely voluntary service, so it wouldn't cause unnecessary trouble. Or maybe Lu Qiage was smart. This method looked simple, as if anyone could think of it, but in fact, it was not the case. If others didn't tell you, you wouldn't be able to think of it yourself.
So everyone followed Lu Qiaoge's instructions and completed the task quickly, and the leader also agreed.
——
The people-serving fair organized by Xiangyang Subdistrict Office officially kicked off at five in the morning.
Even at 5 a.m., many family members came to the playground early. As soon as they entered the gate, they followed the guidance of the volunteers and exchanged the papers with the supplies.
Many people were discussing at home last night that if the members didn’t want the things they took, would they not be able to buy vegetables?
Some people also say that the subdistrict office does whatever it wants, and we will just have to wait and see, it will become a mess.
Some people also said that I think the ultimate goal is to fool the members' hard work and get something for nothing.
The reason why I say this is because some people think that vegetables that cannot be sold will rot, and in the end the members’ trip will be in vain. Let’s see if your small street office can afford it.
These words, in fact, are just wind on the ears.
The actual transaction went very smoothly.
Because there are not only volunteers to maintain order, but also a small team from the security department and a guard squad from the military representative office.
This lineup can be described as luxurious.
Datian didn't dare to cause trouble, he was very well behaved, and he tried hard to maintain order. When he saw the family members being picky, he took the initiative to persuade them: "Fourth Aunt, you are so picky about such good vegetables. Other members go to pick vegetables before dawn and wash them clean, and put them in bundles. How can others buy them if you pick and choose like this?"
Of course, there are relatively few such cases.
No one followed suit.
They are all children and family members of military factory employees, and they all have to save face in front of other members.
This time, Captain Lin and President Zhu came together. President Zhu exchanged greetings with Director Hu and then left with peace of mind.
What remained were the three tractors with buckets and thirty large horse-drawn carts brought by Captain Lin.
The tractor belonged to the commune, and the horse-drawn carriage was also put together by the entire commune.
Just like there are only two horse-drawn carriages in Guzitun.
Because it was early and would not affect work, Meng Xia, Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu all came.
The replacement vegetables were in Captain Lin's carriage. Lu Qiaoge had told Old Lady Lu about it in advance, so Old Lu carried a basket of vegetables, which was actually half filled with eggs, cherry cucumbers and other fresh vegetables.
In fact, the Lu family can afford it, but this is Captain Lin's kindness and we cannot refuse. Besides, there will be plenty of opportunities to repay the favor in the future.
But on the way, Old Mrs. Lu suggested that she get some cloth coupons and cotton coupons for Captain Lin, especially cotton coupons, which were in great demand in the rural areas.
After all, cotton is not grown in Jiangcheng.
The liveliness of the fair was within Lu Qiaoge's expectations. There were many family members who came, and the entire playground was packed with people. Even the roadside at the entrance was filled with people.
But fortunately, there were several patrol teams, and everything was in good order.
A few old ladies also brought old clothes from their homes, and Lu Qiaoge accepted all those that were acceptable.
But it's too broken.
Lu Qiaoling was a volunteer, but she and Su Hui made two pots of pastries and put them in clean baskets. She went to maintain order while Su Hui set up the stall with confidence.
It is not allowed on normal days, but today is a special day.
There really was someone who wanted to give it a try, of course, this person was Mu Dan, the team leader of the department store.
Although she was in the hardware group, she had eaten the shortbread made by the food group from the food factory.
I didn’t expect it to be even tastier than the ones from the food factory.
She started introducing it to her friends around her.
In particular, it was introduced to the team leader of the food group.
Su Hui never thought that after deducting the consumed flour, oil, and sugar, the two pots of pastries could actually make money.
She exchanged the IOU for eggs, sugar, etc., and finally spent ten cents to buy a bunch of radishes.
This is a kind of radish that does not grow big and is popular in the north. The radish tops can be used to make cabbage dumplings, while the water radish below can be eaten plain or mixed with pickles.
Lu Qiaoge calculated it for her and found that the net profit was three yuan.
Not to mention the high profits.
A dozen wicker baskets woven by Meng Qingshan and several of his companions were also exchanged.
The hard work paid off and everyone is full of energy.
Zhou Li's mute husband is very skillful. He can not only weave baskets, but also weave straw hats and baskets for storing dry food.
Since Zhou Li came to the service station, he has been at home taking care of his children weaving things.
This was what Lu Qiaoge suggested to Zhou Li, telling her not to worry about sales, as long as she could make it, she could sell it to him.
Zhou Li's husband's name is Chang An. He is an adopted son. Because the Chang couple had no children in the first few years of their marriage, the elders often said that some children have no affinity with their parents but have affinity with their brothers. Because of this, they found someone to adopt him. In order to make him easier to raise, they gave him the nickname Gou Wa. When he was six years old, the Chang family had a son, and when he was eight years old, they had a daughter. Then they disliked Gou Wa. He survived a high fever but could not speak.
I don’t know why, but I just can’t speak.
It is said that nine out of ten deaf people are mute, but he can hear, which proves that there is no problem with his hearing.
Zhou Li took him to the staff hospital, where the doctor determined that his inability to speak was 90% due to psychological reasons.
After leaving the suffocating environment of the Chang family, Chang An became obviously much more active.
While Zhou Li was busy maintaining order, he squatted on the ground obediently with the child on his back. In front of him was a mat woven with reeds, on which were placed the things he had woven in the past few days.
Such a large market is different from a department store. Customers here can choose whatever they want and can touch the items. You have to know that when you buy things in a department store, unless you are an acquaintance, you can only take whatever the salesperson gives you and you are not allowed to pick and choose.
For this reason, Lu Qiaoge specifically asked Zhou Li to be responsible for the order in Chang'an.
Lu Qiaoge happened to look back and saw Chang An always secretly looking at Zhou Li, with deep love in his eyes.
Lu Qiaoge shook his shoulders and walked away with a smile.
At the end of the three-day fair, everyone who came to the villages under Manshan Commune returned with a full load.
Although I didn’t get any money, didn’t I need money to buy the daily necessities I received in exchange?
Then there are the family members of the factory workers. Every family needs vegetables and every family needs something. Once the food circulates, the factory suddenly comes alive.
Lao Hu was worried, so he followed him on the first day.
Unexpectedly, before ten o'clock, the playground was basically empty.
Members lined up to receive supplies. There were more than a dozen tables filled with all kinds of daily necessities. Unexpectedly, old clothes were so popular, especially old work clothes. Even those with patches, many members scrambled to get them.
When we finally counted everything, there weren't any mistakes and everyone was happy.
At this fair, many families had access to fresh green leafy vegetables and also exchanged them for supplies they did not have.
The Lu family not only has egg cherries and green leafy vegetables, but also a lot of dried vegetables.
For Meng Xia, this day was like a dream.
But for Lu Qiaoge, this is just the beginning.
However, for Lao Hu, it was also a risk, but after it was successfully completed, he decided to apply to the factory general office to give these volunteers cash rewards...
It's the end of the month, I'm climbing the list, shamelessly asking for monthly tickets, and at the same time thank caroletu for your daily support, and thank every little cutie who voted for the monthly ticket, love you~
