Xu Xiangyang nodded and took out a glass bottle from his arms, which contained five kilograms of liquid.
"Take a look." He said, handing over the honey in his hand.
He just found this honey in the container. The front packaging was all paper and it fell off as soon as it was torn.
According to the prices in later generations, the wholesale price of this jar of honey would be at least forty or fifty yuan.
Now...it can only be exchanged for two dollars and fifty cents.
But he didn't think it was too little. After all, meat was only 60 cents a pound, and flour was 20 cents, so two dollars and fifty cents was not a small amount.
"Okay, let's change it." He didn't say much and let the salesperson take it.
He didn't have a penny anyway, so having two dollars and fifty cents would be enough. Who would have thought that he would be content with just two dollars and fifty cents now?
The salesperson quickly issued a receipt and weighed the goods before letting him take the receipt to the cashier to exchange it for money.
Xu Xiangyang looked at the two yuan and fifty cents and found it particularly novel. He did not think about spending the money, but put it away carefully.
After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, he did not forget what he had just done.
I asked about the noodles at the supply and marketing cooperative, and they cost 25 cents per pound, plus half a pound of food coupons.
He thought about it and decided to sell it at 20 cents, and still accept the food coupons. He didn't have the stuff either, so he just wanted to get two to try.
Although he didn't find the black market, he didn't give up on selling things.
Xu Xiangyang squatted not far from the supply and marketing cooperative, and there was a grain store nearby.
From time to time, people would go there with food coupons to buy things, but there wasn't much food in the store, just some grains like millet.
Everything else will be sold out by the beginning of the month, so even if you want to buy flour or rice now, you can’t buy it.
"No noodles again? Today is only the second day." An old lady was turned away from the grain store and came out dejected.
Xu Xiangyang saw it, looked around, and then followed.
Before he had gone far, he stopped the old lady.
After all, as time goes by, people will start to think that you are a bad person.
So just follow him a few steps away from the grain store.
"Young man, is there anything wrong?" The old lady looked at the young man in front of her and felt that he looked very unfamiliar. She didn't recognize him at all.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, I have some noodles here. Do you want some? They're 20 cents a pound and you get half a pound of food coupons."
Two cents?
The old lady hesitated for a moment. Although it was not as good as white flour, instant noodles were also white noodles.
What's more, the price this young man offered was low, five cents cheaper than what was sold at the grain store.
"Let me see what it looks like." She didn't say whether to buy it or not, she just said to take a look first.
Xu Xiangyang didn't say much and pulled out a bag of noodles from his torn cotton jacket.
"Very good, give me two pounds." The old lady didn't say anything more and paid the bill directly.
Xu Xiangyang took out another package from his torn cotton-padded jacket and handed the two packages to her, handing over the money with one hand and the goods with the other.
Fortunately, this ragged cotton-padded jacket is big enough, otherwise he would have no idea what to do. He can't take it out from his crotch, right?
Even if others don't mind, he still feels disgusted.
After the two people finished the transaction, they separated immediately. Private transactions were not allowed at this time, as it would be bad if they were discovered.
"Xu Xiangyang?"
He was just about to look for the next buyer when he heard someone calling him.
Xu Xiangyang was a little uncertain, after all, he didn't know anyone there. He turned his head and saw a chubby little girl standing not far away looking at him.
Sure enough, after seeing his face, the little girl came over.
"Xu Xiangyang, you failed the college entrance exam and you're just wandering around like a vagrant all day? Can you be more ambitious?"
The little girl had a sarcastic expression on her face and pointed at his nose while scolding him.
Xu Xiangyang frowned subconsciously. No one was pointing at him and scolding anyone.
This little girl looks honest, but she has a bad temper and no manners at all.
He thought about it and found out from the original owner's memory that this person was his sweetheart.
He probably settled down in the town. The original owner didn't get into college, so he looked down on others. He wasn't very clear about the details, because after failing the college entrance examination, he never paid attention to the past.
After all, we are from the same team, and it is shameful not to get into university.
But what does other people's business have to do with him? Could this guy be a Pacific police officer? He's so involved!
"Yang Tianyun, I don't need you to teach me whether I should be a vagrant or not." Xu Xiangyang felt that this person was too nosy and had a bad attitude.
So, he was not so polite in his words.
If others are rude to you, what face do you have left? Just confront her and it's over!
Although the original owner did not get into university, he was already short of money, so who could do anything about it?
Seeing his cold look, Yang Tianyun felt that his kindness was really taken for granted.
"You really don't know how to appreciate kindness. Didn't I tell you to study hard?" She was so angry that she rolled her eyes and walked away.
I thought to myself, I will never know this person again!
Xu Xiangyang was too lazy to pay attention to her. The little girl's temper was really annoying.
She did mean well, but her attitude and the way she spoke were really annoying.
Will speaking nicely cost you a piece of flesh?
Anyway, Xu Xiangyang doesn't like children with this kind of temper.
That’s right, in his eyes, this teenage girl is just a child, right?
He didn't think any more about it and continued to wander around.
It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that he finally sold the last pound of noodles.
After selling ten kilograms of noodles, he didn't stay any longer and turned around to leave the city and go home.
Today was a good day. I traded ten kilograms of noodles for five kilograms of food coupons, which cost two yuan. I also sold five kilograms of honey at the supply and marketing cooperative for two and a half yuan.
That's four dollars and fifty cents, not a small amount. At least he doesn't need to spend any money now.
When I got home, it was already dark.
A dim kerosene lamp was lit in the house, and two figures were wandering around in the room.
When he entered the house, Xu Guangtian and his wife, who were sitting on the kang, didn't even look at him.
"The food is on the stove. Help yourself and then go to bed. The kerosene is almost gone." Wang Xiumin knew it was Xu Xiangyang who came back without even raising her head.
Xu Xiangyang resigned himself to his fate and went to the stove, where there was indeed half a casserole of cornmeal porridge warming.
"Didn't you say you would go to my grandpa's house to get something tomorrow? Why did you bring it back today?" Xu Xiangyang asked while serving the porridge.
Wang Xiumin turned over and replied, "Wait until tomorrow? I had heartburn after eating potatoes this morning, so I went to get them back right away."
"That's right!" She quickly got up, looked along the kang toward the stove, and said, "Your grandfather asked me to bring you a letter of introduction. You can start working as a temporary worker in a couple of days."
After hearing the news, Xu Xiangyang didn't even bother to eat. He walked over and took the letter of introduction that Wang Xiumin handed over and started reading it.
To be honest, he was quite curious about what kind of job it would be.
After he finished reading the letter of introduction, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.
This job is really not that good!
