After leaving the purchasing station, Chen Wang handed half of the Great Unity to Chen Dazhuang.
"Brother Dazhuang, this is yours."
"No, no, no, why give me so much? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know that Acorus calamus. Just give me the money for the goat skin."
Chen Dazhuang waved his hands repeatedly.
"Brother Dazhuang, you are being hypocritical. We agreed before that we would split the hunting gains 50-50."
Chen Wang looked at him seriously.
"But that's about prey. Gathering herbs is your skill. I don't understand it at all. Besides, you shot the goats. With my marksmanship, I might let the goats run away."
Chen Dazhuang was still unwilling to accept the money.
"Awang."
Chen Jianjun on the side suddenly spoke up.
"Master."
"What Da Zhuang said is not wrong. You decided to split the hunting revenue 50-50 when you went into the mountains, so there is no problem with that. But let's put things in perspective. He knows nothing about collecting herbs, so we can't split it that way."
Chen Jianjun expressed his thoughts.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Wang suggested, "Brother Dazhuang has also contributed to the herb-collecting work. How about this, we split the game 50-50 and the herb-collecting 70-30?"
Chen Jianjun said nothing when he heard this, but just looked at his son.
"80% or so. Even 20% is a bargain for me."
Chen Dazhuang said seriously.
"Okay, let's make it clear once and for all, and we won't worry about it anymore. As long as we go into the mountains together, we'll divide it like this."
"Can!"
"Wait a minute, let me calculate it."
The leather costs 27 yuan, and 50% is 13.5.
Acorus calamus sold for 333, 20% is 66.6, the total is 80.1.
Chen Wang counted out eight big unity notes and handed them to Chen Dazhuang, saying with a smile, "I saved the ten cents. I don't have any on me. I'll treat you and uncle to dinner at the restaurant later."
"No, it's my treat. It's my treat."
Chen Dazhuang took the money with a smile.
You know, nowadays the salary of a serious worker in a factory is only about 40 yuan a month.
They earned two months' salary in just one day in the mountains, and they also had so much mutton at home.
This was the first time he had such a big harvest in all these years of hunting.
"Yes, he should treat us. If you weren't with him, Awang, it would be very difficult for him to make some money."
Chen Jianjun agreed, his face wrinkled with laughter.
Due to his disabled legs, it was difficult for him to go into the mountains to hunt. The family's income depended solely on those few acres of land and his son's hunting gains.
When the daughter-in-law left, she ruthlessly emptied their family's savings.
In the past few years, his son went into the mountains to hunt, so their family had no shortage of meat. However, they were all pheasants and rabbits. They were fine for their own consumption but could not be sold for much money, so their life was actually very hard.
Now seeing his son and his apprentice working together happily and earning so much money in just one trip into the mountains, Chen Jianjun feels that he has seen hope again and is in a very good mood.
"Brother Dazhuang, uncle, I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. Do you want to come with me?"
Chen Wang asked.
"Come along, I want to buy something too."
Chen Dazhuang answered with a smile.
"Let's go together, so we can find someone later."
Chen Jianjun nodded.
"Then let's go!"
To buy daily necessities in town, you basically have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, to the food station to buy meat, and to the grain station to buy grain. There are also agricultural machinery stations, iron industry cooperatives, freight stations, etc.
There were department stores similar to supermarkets in this era, but they were all state-owned and had to be located in the city center.
The supply and marketing cooperative is not far from the purchasing station, just a few hundred meters away.
After entering, they found it was very lively inside. Many farmers who were dressed simply like them were looking at the various goods on the shelves curiously.
Chen Wang took out the note given to him by the little girl from his pocket.
The first words written on the note were "hairpin" and "double happiness candy". The handwriting was crooked, and the word "happiness" was replaced by pinyin. It was obvious that the little guy had written it himself.
Chen Xiaoyu has not started school yet, but Lin Xiuqin teaches her to read and write in her spare time.
Further down, there is Lin Xiuqin's beautiful and neat handwriting.
All the things written down were needed at home, such as shampoo, laundry detergent, toilet paper, and he was also asked to buy some needles and thread to knit towels and sweaters for the winter.
Chen Wang walked to the counter and asked the price one by one according to what was written on the note.
In his opinion, things these days are really cheap.
For example, the double happiness candy that my sister always longs for only costs fifty cents for a large bag, and it is said that you can buy ten pieces of it for one cent in the convenience store.
The other things are basically just a few cents.
The more expensive one is just over one yuan.
It’s Friendship brand shampoo powder. Most people use this to wash their hair these days.
Chen Wang had never seen this thing before. He held it in his hand and looked at it curiously for a long time. He was very skeptical whether this thing could wash the hair clean.
There are several brands of laundry detergent, and Chen Wang asked for two bags of Panda brand.
Soon, all the must-buy items on the note were bought.
Chen Wang only spent less than five dollars, but he still felt it was not enough.
The round trip takes three hours, and he would feel like he's missing out if he doesn't buy a few more things.
"Hello, how much is the malted milk?"
Chen Wang pointed to a can of "Shanghai Malted Milk" on the counter and asked the salesperson.
He had heard of this thing. It was an instant beverage that was now popular all over the country. Its main ingredients were milk powder, condensed milk, malt extract, cocoa powder, etc.
Malted milk can not only be mixed with water, but can also be eaten directly dry. It has a rich, sweet milk flavor and high nutritional value. It is a high standard for gift giving and is very popular among children and the elderly.
