Chapter 115 We Want It All



"As for malted milk, I have something even better here. Are you interested?"

When Old Lady Qin heard that there was no pork, she was a little disappointed, but she was also very curious about the good stuff Director He mentioned: "What good stuff?"

"You buy malted milk for your children, right?" Director He answered the question irrelevantly.

Zhang Xiumei was the first to respond: "Yes, we have a baby who is less than five months old and needs to drink malted milk every day."

"This malted milk is not as nutritious as milk powder. I just received a batch of Hero brand milk powder this morning, and it's not on the shelves yet. If you want it, I'll sell it to you directly.

But the price is much higher than malted milk.”

When Mrs. Qin heard that there was real milk powder, her eyes lit up and she nodded without hesitation: "Price is not a problem. How much do you have?"

"As you know, milk powder is a rare commodity these days. It's in short supply, and I spent a lot of effort to get two boxes from the seller.

There are six bags in a box, but one of the boxes has been reserved. If you want, I can sell you the other box." Director He said.

"Okay, we'll take them all." The speaker was Qin Jianye.

Director He then brought them to the warehouse, moved out the unopened milk powder, opened the box in front of them, and took out one of the bags of milk powder.

It says Hero whole milk powder on it, and even though it is packaged in a bag, you can still smell the rich milky aroma.

"Our Han'er can finally drink real milk powder." Old Mrs. Qin looked at the milk powder with great delight.

But she didn't have that many tickets: "I don't have enough tickets to buy milk powder. Can I pay more?"

The rule of using money to buy things has not been abolished yet. You need a ticket to buy anything. Without a ticket, you have to pay half the price. For this reason, some people have started the business of reselling various tickets.

"We are all old customers. Can I charge you more money if you don't have a ticket?

It's okay. I have extra tickets that I have been saving and have not used. Now I can't use them. I will give them to you later. You only need to pay 15 yuan for a bag of milk powder. "

"How embarrassing! Why don't I buy your ticket? That wouldn't be considered improper, right?" Old Mrs. Qin had really wanted to find an opportunity to thank Director He.

Now Director He is giving her the tickets for free, and she cannot take advantage of this no matter what.

Director He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. My ticket will expire soon. It will be useless after it expires. It's just right to give it to you."

"Then we're taking advantage of you for nothing. Take this ten dollars and treat it as the money I paid for the ticket. If you don't take it, we won't sell anything to you next time."

This sentence was indeed lethal, and Director He could only accept it: "Okay, I'll accept it.

Is there anything else you want to buy? I'll give it to you at the lowest price."

"I really want to buy some things. Let's go take a look first and then calculate it together with the money for milk powder later, is that okay?" asked Old Mrs. Qin.

Director He didn't think it was a big deal and agreed immediately: "Of course, you guys go ahead and pick it out. I'll have someone put the milk powder over at the counter and we can pay together later."

When we arrived at the hall, there were neither too many nor too few people buying things inside.

There was a wide variety of goods on display, and as soon as the staff put Lao Qin's rice on the rice cabinet, it attracted many people.

There is no way, Lao Qin’s rice is too beautiful, every grain of rice is crystal clear and plump, and the rice aroma is rich.

Many people working in the town do not have land and can only buy rice to eat.

Several people have bought this kind of rice before, but because it is one cent more expensive per pound than ordinary rice, they were reluctant to buy a lot.

After I cooked it and ate it, I was conquered by the taste of rice.

I came to buy more, but they were sold out.

After they finished eating the rice bought from home, they missed it for a long time.

Now that I saw this kind of rice again, I bought 100 kilograms without hesitation, and used the food coupons to make up for the lack of money.

Director He learned his lesson this time. He kept 200 kilograms of rice, which was easy to store, and also kept six pheasants and rabbits for himself.

He checked the pheasants and rabbits and found they were all healthy and not injured at all.

If you can’t finish it, you can keep it and save it for eating during the holidays.

As for loaches, turtles and the like, he didn't keep many, for fear that they would die and it would not be cost-effective.

Seeing that her own things were so popular, Old Mrs. Qin was very happy.

She also bought a lot of things for herself. The children's shoes at home were almost worn out, so she bought a new pair of shoes for each child, even Qin Han who couldn't walk.

No one could bear the pain but the child. Then he picked out a razor for the fifth child.

I also bought pesticides. When the peanuts and rice grow up, they will definitely be infested with insects, so I will need to spray pesticides.

While she was shopping, Qin Jianye was not idle either.

He came back in such a hurry this time that he didn't buy anything.

He happened to be at the supply and marketing cooperative now, and he wanted to buy something for his family.

So, when he saw something suitable, he would just take it without asking the price.

He bought his father a new pipe and bought the best tobacco, the kind that wouldn't choke his mouth.

Then I bought a lot of food for the children, including candies, egg rolls, fried dough twists, and some canned apples.

As for his brother, sister-in-law and mother, he simply bought a lot of cloth, more than ten feet of various patterns.

Then I bought a Butterfly brand sewing machine. It makes it much more convenient to make clothes with a sewing machine.

If there were ready-made adult clothes for sale here, he would have just bought a suit.

Old Mrs. Qin had also bought some good things, and her and her two sons' hands were full.

Because everyone was concentrating on buying things, no one paid attention to what Qin Jianye was doing.

It was not until Old Lady Qin finished buying the things that she realized Lao Wu was missing.

"Hey, where is Laowu?" Old Mrs. Qin looked around in confusion.

The sharp-eyed Qin Jianguo immediately saw his younger brother not far away. He also had a lot of things in his hands and was walking towards the counter.

There were still a lot of things on the counter, and he mixed the things in his hands with the things on the counter.

You don't have to guess, those are the things he wants to buy.

"Mom, Lao Wu is there!" Qin Jianguo pointed with his finger.

When Old Lady Qin saw this, she hurried over and asked, "Old Fifth, you bought so many things. Are you planning to empty out the store?"

“There’s not much here, and there’s not much to share with so many people in the family.

The main reason is that the products in the supply and marketing cooperative are not complete. Next time I go to the county, I will buy more!

Mom, put everything on the counter and I'll pay for it all." Qin Jianye said as he took out a lot of cash and various bills.

These tickets were all saved by him, and some were exchanged with his comrades, and they came in handy now.

"Go away, you don't need to pay. Mom has money, I'll do it!" Old Mrs. Qin's pockets were bulging at the moment, so she didn't feel so bad about spending money.

Of course, this is mainly Jianye’s intention, and she cannot let her son down.

Otherwise, she could have picked out at least half of these things.
