These days, people who work in supply and marketing cooperatives are very popular in the eyes of others.
Especially the director of the supply and marketing cooperative. Every time during the holidays, people would go to his house to pay New Year’s greetings and the threshold of his house would be broken through.
Today, he was particularly happy.
The more than 500 kilograms of rice and more than 700 kilograms of potatoes he bought in the morning were sold out in just two hours.
With this investment and withdrawal, he made a net profit of more than 50 yuan.
It’s about the same as my monthly salary…
Although the money did not go into his own pocket, the performance was real.
However, he had never seen potatoes and rice of such high quality, especially the rice. The rich rice aroma whetted people's taste buds before it was even cooked.
So even though it is three cents more expensive per pound than ordinary rice, many people still rush to buy it.
The same went for the potatoes. He had never seen such a big potato in his life. There weren't many holes on them, and not a single one was broken.
In order to prevent all of them from being sold out, he saved ten kilograms of rice and ten kilograms of potatoes for himself in advance.
I plan to take it home to try after get off work.
As for what the other party said, that he was not allowed to ask where the things came from, he just had to collect them. If something really happened, he could also clear himself from the matter.
But looking at the simple appearance of these two brothers, they don't seem like the kind of people who would do anything shady.
If they really did it, no one would have the courage to go to his supply and marketing cooperative to sell it, which is why he dared to buy it.
After all, I have been the director of a supply and marketing cooperative for so many years. If I don’t have this kind of courage, all my work would have been in vain.
When Qin Jiandang entered the supply and marketing cooperative, he saw the director who was inspecting the place. He smiled and walked over to him, "Director, my mother is here!"
Director He followed his gaze and saw the old lady next to Qin Jiandang. He smiled and walked forward a few steps: "Hello, Sister Qin, I am the person in charge here!"
This was the first time that Old Lady Qin had spoken to such an important person, and she immediately seemed a little reserved: "Hello... hello!"
"Don't be nervous, sister. I heard from your two sons that they want to buy something. I will arrange a staff member to take you to buy it. I guarantee there will be enough goods!" Director He hopes that there will be opportunities for cooperation, so he pays special attention to the old lady.
Just as Mrs. Qin was about to refuse, a staff member in a military green coat came over.
Finally, under the guidance of the staff, Mrs. Qin quickly bought what she needed.
Director He even specially reserved some defective fabrics for them and sold them at a very low price, which was equivalent to giving them away for free.
But it was not enough, so Old Mrs. Qin bought another ten dollars worth of cloth, and together with the defective ones, it was enough to make new clothes for the ten children.
But cotton was still a scarce commodity, and the amount of cotton we bought was not enough to make a set of clothes.
Old Mrs. Qin planned to take out the cotton from the old clothes when she returned and then use new cloth to make a new dress.
As for Qin Han's clothes, she bought them directly as finished products and could wear them as soon as she got home.
It is a red cotton coat embroidered with delicate patterns. The buttons are in the style of the Qing Dynasty. It looks very festive and beautiful.
But the price is equally attractive. Just a set of clothes costs ten yuan, which is equivalent to fifty kilograms of rice.
But when paying, the old lady didn't even blink.
If Han'er wasn't too young, she would have wanted to buy another pair of shoes.
Then she bought some corn flour, white flour, and glutinous rice flour to make pasta.
Then I bought some melon seeds, peanuts, candies, and some vegetables. We still had a lot of meat at home, so we didn’t need to buy any more.
Everyone in the family had cracked hands in the winter. The eldest and second sons had dry faces like old men because of going up the mountain, so we bought Yumeijing and Bangbangyou.
When she reached the place where scarves were sold, Old Lady Qin picked out three scarves and gave them to her three daughters-in-law.
Before I knew it, the things I bought filled four sacks.
Of course, a lot of money was spent.
More than half of the money was gone. Although Mrs. Qin felt sad, she didn't think it was too much when she thought that her family could have a good New Year.
Originally, Qin Jiandang proposed to have lunch in town, but was rejected by Old Lady Qin.
Eating out is too expensive and not worth it, it’s better to eat at home.
Anyway, you won’t starve to death if you skip a meal.
On their way back, they were particularly careful and took a detour. By the time they got home, it was already past three in the afternoon.
Their home was at the foot of the mountain, so they didn't need to pass by other villagers' homes, so no one saw them when they went out or came back.
Zhao Yan understood her mother-in-law and knew that they would definitely not be willing to eat out.
So after everyone finished lunch at noon, she heated the food in the pot and put a few pieces of wood into the stove so that it would not get cold.
Old Mrs. Qin was indeed very hungry, so she parked the cart in the yard and went to eat.
As for the things, let the old man unload them.
In the hall, everyone gathered together.
Zhang Xiumei gave the scarves bought by her mother-in-law to her two sisters-in-law.
When they learned that this was bought by their mother-in-law as a gift for them, they thanked her profusely and happily wrapped it around their necks.
Although they didn't get new clothes, they were still very happy to receive a new scarf. They went back to their rooms, looked at themselves in the mirror, and their smiles were almost melting.
All the things that should be divided have been divided, except for the children who have nothing.
Until they saw candied fruit and fructose, these were the only two things left in the world.
They all lowered their voices while swallowing.
Everyone, except Qin Qing, was playing there with a childish look on his face. He seemed to have no interest in the things bought by his grandmother and aunt.
"Old man, give each child a White Rabbit candy. Put the rest in the cabinet in our room and lock it up. We can take them out and eat them during the New Year!" Old Mrs. Qin was eating in the hall with her bowl of rice.
