Chapter 33 Buying Supplies
After returning to the dormitory, Ye Qian fetched some water to wash up, and then took out the brown sugar ginger tea from her space and made a cup.
After drinking, Ye Qian felt a little cold and fell asleep directly.
Since she didn’t eat at night, Ye Qian woke up hungry in the middle of the night and had to get up for a midnight snack.
I made myself a bowl of instant noodles, added a sausage and an egg, a bottle of Coke, a big chicken leg, and a palm-sized mango cake. Only then did I feel a little full.
What can I do after eating? Just go to sleep.
When I woke up in the morning, Du Xiaoli asked me to have breakfast together.
While eating, Du Xiaoli asked Ye Qian, "Do you have time after get off work?"
"What's up?"
"Isn't the weather going to get hot? I want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some cloth to make some clothes. Last year's cloth is no longer wearable, so I have to buy it in advance."
Ye Qian agreed: "Okay, but you have to accompany me to pick up the clothes I ordered before."
Du Xiaoli said happily: "Okay, then we'll see you after get off work."
…
Gong Peng found Pan Huiyu and said, "Just now in the cafeteria, I heard that Ye Qian was going to leave the factory after get off work today. Please do me a favor. She will be with her colleagues at that time. Please help me separate them."
When Pan Huiyu heard that she could teach Ye Qian a lesson, she immediately agreed: "Okay, you tell me what to do when the time comes."
Pan Huiyu has now joined the mine. This job was introduced by President Feng.
The mine assigned me to the logistics department, which is the hardest job, both tiring and lucrative.
Not only are the wages at the mine lower than at the grain mill, but the benefits are also not as good as at the grain mill. I work myself to death every day and still get scolded by the employees.
I couldn't apply for a dormitory at the mine, so I went home every day. My mother was angry that I lost my job at the grain factory, so she made me do a lot of housework every day, which made my skin rough.
Even President Feng didn't see me after he arranged for me to do something.
It’s all Ye Qian’s fault. If it weren’t for her, how could she have become like this? I must not let her have it easy.
And Ye Qian was in the office at this time.
"Ahhh~"
After a loud sneeze, Ye Qian touched her nose and asked, "Who is scolding me?"
Jiang Xia asked with concern, "Did you catch a cold from yesterday?"
"No, I'm not feeling unwell." After saying that, Ye Qian deliberately gritted her teeth and said, "It must be someone scolding me."
This caused the three people in the office to burst into laughter.
Ye Qian was afraid that she would really catch a cold, so she got up and poured herself a cup of hot water and added a piece of brown sugar ginger.
After it melts, the whole house is filled with the smell of brown sugar and ginger.
Chen Xiaoling said, "This brown sugar smells really good. Why does it have a hint of ginger in it?"
"This is brown sugar ginger cubes, you can drink it directly after mixing it with water." Ye Qian replied.
Wang Juan was a little envious and said, "You girl, you have all the good things."
Hearing their tone, Ye Qian wondered if they also wanted to buy it.
If you want to buy it, that's fine. What I sold before was pure brown sugar. I have never sold this brown sugar ginger block before, and there are still a lot of them in the space.
Ye Qian said, "This thing was brought from Shanghai. It's indeed scarce, but it's not impossible to get it."
Jiang Xia asked tentatively, "Is it much? Can you bring some for us?"
Chen Xiaoling and Wang Juan also looked at him expectantly.
"You can get it, but not too much. 2-3 kilograms per person is fine, but it's much more expensive than brown sugar. If you want it, I'm going out today and can bring some back."
Wang Juan immediately said, "Okay, whether it's 2 or 3 kilograms, or more, the price is fine."
Jiang Xia and Chen Xiaoling also echoed, "We want as much as we want."
This thing is scarce, it's good enough to be able to buy it, why bother about the price.
Besides, it’s just brown sugar and ginger, how expensive can it be?
Chen Xiaoling then asked, "The place where you got the things has these rare goods. Are there any other supplies?"
In fact, everyone wants to ask Chen Xiaoling this question. In this day and age, supplies are scarce and cannot be bought even if you have money. If Ye Qian has a way to help everyone get some supplies, everyone's life will be improved. Of course, it is not in vain. She will not be short of money if she is given money and tickets.
Ye Qian also thought about this when she brought food and meat to everyone last time. Although she did not go to the black market and had money on her, she still lost an income, which was a pity.
There's no way I can stop myself from being timid. If I get caught at this moment, I won't be able to solve the problem unless I'm skinned alive.
I have no backing, and no one will help me if something goes wrong.
It’s different if you bring work to people in the office. You can earn some money and build good relationships with everyone.
After Pan Huiyu left, Ye Qian got along very well with everyone and was not the kind of person who would cause trouble.
"That depends on what you want. As long as it's not something particularly difficult to get, we can basically get some of it. Food, meat, refined rice, noodles, etc. are all fine."
I was afraid that they would ask for scarce supplies such as bicycles, televisions, and radios. Even if Ye Qian was chopped to pieces, she would not be able to get these things.
Wang Juan was a little excited: "Then can we get some more? Would it be convenient for you to bring them over tomorrow?"
Ye Qian nodded: "Sure, you guys think about what you want first, I'll take a pen and paper and write it down."
Wang Juan thought for a moment and said to Ye Qian, "I want 20 kilograms of fine rice, 10 kilograms of noodles, and another 5 kilograms of meat."
There were a lot of other supplies in his space, so he asked, "We also have whole chickens, ducks, fish, canned food, meat, fruit, oh, and bed sheets and quilts. Do you want any of that?"
Because there are still a lot of quilt covers in Ye Qian's space, and Ye Qian will never be able to use them all even if she uses them until she is old, so why keep them? If they want them, it is a good opportunity to clear out the stock.
Jiang Xia was surprised: "These are also available."
Ye Qian nodded again to confirm: "Yes, but there is no choice in color. You can take whatever you want."
Wang Juan thought for a moment and added more: "Then give me a chicken, a fish, two sets of bed sheets, and two canned meats."
Chen Xiaoling agreed, "I'll do the same as Sister Wang. How do you charge the price?"
Jiang Xia didn't bother to think about it. Wang Juan had already asked for everything. "Me too."
"Just pay the black market price. Let me confirm again: 2-3 jin (approximately 100g) of brown sugar ginger, 20 jin (approximately 100g) of rice, 10 jin (approximately 100g) of noodles, 5 jin (approximately 100g) of meat, a chicken, a fish, two sets of bed sheets, and two cans of meat." Ye Qian confirmed again, "Right, am I right?"
The three nodded: "Yes, that's right."
"It's the same as last time. Let's meet in the office before 7:30 in the morning so you can take your things home." After Ye Qian finished speaking, everyone left work.
After get off work in the afternoon, Ye Qian asked Du Xiaoli to wait for her for a while while she went upstairs to get the small backpack.
If you are going out to buy something, you have to pretend to be decent. You can't just run in and out empty-handed.
First, go to the state-owned restaurant with Du Xiaoli for dinner.
Each person ordered a vegetarian noodle.
After eating, they went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative. Cai Xiaoli bought 3 feet of black cotton cloth and 3 feet of yellow floral cloth and paid for it with the ticket.
Ye Qian went to the counter on the other side and bought a pair of rubber shoes, which could be worn in the rain. Ye Qian usually wore cloth shoes and leather shoes.
Cloth shoes definitely cannot be worn when it rains. After wearing leather shoes a few times, the leather is a little swollen due to soaking. Ye Qian keeps this pair of shoes specifically for wearing when it rains.
But after a long time, they started leaking again. Ye Qian had wanted to buy rubber shoes for a long time, but they were out of stock. Today, she finally saw some.
A pair of rubber shoes cost 6 yuan, and there were 3 industrial rolls. I bought 2 pairs for myself.
