The village chief's wife had already told Jiang Yuzhu how to exchange the money. Jiang Yuzhu was estimating the money and tickets in her hand in her mind.
She has everything she needs. She got a lot of tickets from the black market last time.
She didn't mind changing more.
"I have homemade dried tofu here. I make it myself and ensure every step is clean."
"These are the wild vegetables I dried. I picked the tenderest and best ones to dry. I fried them with some egg sauce and dipped them in the sauce to eat them. It's the most delicious."
"My eggs are the biggest and reddest. You can have my eggs."
"Nonsense! Your eggs are not as good as mine. My eggs are raised by my grandson using insects. They are more nutritious."
In order to get more tickets, everyone started promoting their own products.
Jiang Yuzhu couldn't help but smile after seeing it. It was a good decision to come here. There were really a lot of things here.
At least we can add some dishes, otherwise as the weather gets colder, all we will have left are cabbage, potatoes, radishes and sauerkraut.
Fortunately, I also brought two small jars of pickles.
But the bacon and pork in the space are enough for her to eat for a long time.
You should also buy groceries as usual.
"What are you doing? Don't scare people. Step back and see what others need." The captain pushed the people back several steps.
Their village was poor, but fortunately it was relatively close to the army, so some family members often came to exchange things, and they had never suffered any loss.
Otherwise where can I buy those good things?
There was not a single bicycle in the entire village, and industrial coupons were even harder to come by.
There are only two flashlights in the village, and we usually don’t use them.
But the weather is getting colder and colder, and the Chinese New Year is just over two months away. Every household is short of food.
"Xiao Gao, Xiao Jiang, take a look and see what you need." The captain called over those who had good things. He didn't dare call over those who were not allowed to be weighed.
"I'm going to exchange for thirty eggs. What about you, Yuzhu?" The political commissar's wife was afraid that Jiang Yuzhu would feel embarrassed to refuse.
Just tell me a number first. If Jiang Yuzhu doesn’t want so many things, she can just take the same as me.
Jiang Yuzhu looked at the political commissar's wife with a smile. She knew that she was doing it for her own good, but she wanted to get more back and pickle some salted eggs.
"Sister-in-law, to be honest, I do have quite a few bills. My parents send me money and bills every month, so I have quite a bit of money."
Jiang Yuzhu took out some coupons, including industrial coupons, grain coupons, cloth coupons, sugar coupons, soap coupons...
The captain's eyes lit up when he saw the colorful and various tickets.
He said that this comrade didn't look like he was short of money, and he was right.
"Captain, please count the eggs for me. I want them all. I also want dried tofu and dried wild vegetables."
"Oh, good, good." The captain rubbed his palms happily.
The political commissar's wife pulled Jiang Yuzhu over and whispered, "There are so many, we can't take them all. What if some of them are not fresh and will go bad?"
He is really young and doesn't know how to live, buying so much at once.
The political commissar's wife is used to being frugal. There's nothing she can do about it. She has three children at home, so she has to be frugal.
Although the political commissar's salary is not low, it is not easy to support a family of all ages, not to mention that the political commissar has to provide assistance to the families of military martyrs from time to time.
"No, no, I pick them one by one to make sure they are all good eggs. Only the most recent eggs are acceptable. I don't want any that are not fresh. The weather is cool now, so they can be kept for more than two months without any problems."
"As for the problem of too much to carry, I can have it delivered to you. You don't have to carry it. I can deliver it to your home. What do you think?"
The captain was also smart and quickly dispelled their concerns.
The commissar's wife laughed when she heard this. "Captain, I think you are quite biased. Every time we come here, you never mention delivering goods."
"Hey, this... isn't it that you asked for more, but few people came, so you can't take it back?"
The captain naturally didn't want to miss a big customer like Jiang Yuzhu, who had a lot of money and tickets and exchanged a lot of things every time.
He also noticed that Jiang Yuzhu was generous.
If we exchange things with them for a long time, they will be the ones who benefit.
Otherwise, they would have to wait until the big market on Wednesday, carry their things, and walk a long way up the mountain to buy them.
"Um...that..." The captain came closer to Jiang Yuzhu.
"What's the matter, Captain? Just say it." Jiang Yuzhu knew at a glance that the Captain had something to say.
"Hey, I have a sheep that I'm going to kill and sell. Do you want some?"
"But I promise it's not a sick sheep. This sheep was brought here for my grandson. His mother has no milk, and we thought the child wouldn't be able to live without milk, so we got a sheep from the next village and gave it to the child and my wife every day to nourish their bodies."
"Unexpectedly, not long after, the child's mother began to give birth, and the sheep became redundant."
"How many people here are willing to spend money on eating mutton? That's why I wanted to ask you if you want any."
My daughter-in-law can now feed the children, so the milk produced by the sheep every day is wasted. They don’t like to drink the smelly goat milk. Besides, the sheep also needs care and fodder, but in the end they don’t make much money. It’s such a loss.
No one in the village likes to eat mutton because they dislike the smell.
Unlike raising chickens, ducks and pigs, which can be killed and sold for meat, most people don't like to raise sheep.
"Mutton, how much do you have left?" The political commissar's wife knew about mutton.
