A dozen cloth coupons and six shoe coupons might seem like a lot to others, but to Su Mianmian, they were pitifully few.
She was originally the daughter of a minor official. Although her family was not extremely wealthy, they did have some property.
Normally, she would buy cloth by the piece. Even for the expensive soft silk, she would have to buy at least a dozen pieces to make a dress.
It’s not like now, not only is the material and workmanship rough, but you also have to buy the cloth bit by bit and save up your money.
The last time she went to the supply and marketing cooperative and saw the cloths on sale, she simply couldn't believe that the most fashionable materials were not as comfortable and breathable as the most common cotton cloth.
Su Mianmian has been here for so long, and she always feels that the people here, whether in their ideas or what they pursue, are a bit strange.
But she didn't dare to say it, she couldn't go back, the only thing she could do was to blend in here quietly.
Su Mianmian is not the kind of person who would compromise herself. Now that she has the conditions, she wants to enjoy life a little.
"I want all of these. Where should I send them?"
The man scratched his head and thought of a place. "There's a dead end at the back door of this yard. Let's send her there. When we get there, just knock on the door and she'll be gone."
Ge Quan was a man of particularities. When someone told him to deliver the goods, he did not ask anyone to go with him to get them.
Last time, Su Mianmian just randomly found a corner to receive the goods, and she had no objection.
"Hmm!"
Su Mianmian left the black market and walked around outside. When the time was almost up, she slowly walked to the dead end at the back door. While no one was around, she immediately put all the things out.
Then he knocked on the back door of the small courtyard, and soon Changmao, who had been guarding behind, came out with a few people.
"Where is the thing?" Changmao asked impatiently as soon as he saw people.
"Follow me." Su Mianmian led his men into a dead end.
There were indeed a lot of sacks and baskets piled up in the corner of the dead end.
The lid of the basket was not closed tightly, revealing the white eggs inside.
Changmao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly told others to move things, "There are eggs in the basket, be careful when moving!"
The four of them finished moving everything in just two trips.
After weighing the grain, Su Mianmian successfully received the money from selling the grain, a total of four hundred and ninety-five yuan.
Su Mianmian asked for 4 soap tickets, 6 shoe tickets, 2 industrial tickets, 1 watch ticket, and 10 cloth tickets, totaling 55.5 yuan.
In the end, Su Mianmian collected exactly four hundred and forty yuan.
Ge Quan gave Su Mianmian a fifty-cent discount and sold the seven-piece cloth to her at the same price as the six-piece cloth, which was considered a significant discount.
Su Mianmian knew what was going on, so she didn't bother to pick up the basket of eggs.
She quickly counted the money, not missing a cent, and felt even more satisfied. "Brother Ge is a straightforward person. I will come to you next time."
What she feared most at the moment was being robbed by gangsters.
Ge Quan smiled brightly, "Thank you for remembering me, sister. Next time you come, just knock on the back door."
"Tuo."
Su Mianmian left the courtyard with the money in her pocket. When she relaxed, she suddenly realized that she was extremely hungry.
He turned into an empty corner, took off the disguise on his head, and pushed the bicycle out of the village.
She rode her bicycle to the state-owned hotel.
It was dinner time at the state-owned restaurant, and there were people of all ages eating there. There were no empty tables, and most people were sharing tables in groups of three or four.
At the counter, the waiter slammed the table.
"Line up and order! Line up and order! Get out of here if you cut in line!"
A tall man in the queue at the front whispered, "Waiter, can I order some braised pork?"
The waitress glared at him, put one hand on her hips, pointed at the menu hanging on the wall next to her, and said impatiently:
"I've told you hundreds of times, there's no more braised pork! No more! Do you have no ears, or are you deaf?"
The waiter didn't even give the tall guy a chance to speak. He just frowned and started talking non-stop.
"What are you doing standing here? Are you going to order food or not? If not, hurry up and let the people behind you come over!"
The tall man held his chest, quickly glanced at the menu, and nodded repeatedly, "Yes! Then I'll have the minced meat and eggplant, and the three fresh vegetables."
There is no big piece of meat, but a little minced meat is also good.
The waitress rolled her eyes and called behind her, "Minced meat and eggplant, and three fresh vegetables!"
After saying that, he waved his hand impatiently at the tall man and said, "Go wait!"
Then he shouted to the next person, "What are you eating? Hurry up!"
Yi Xiaoqiu held onto his bicycle and looked at the tall man standing nearby, unable to straighten his back due to being yelled at, and felt a sense of sympathy.
She won’t be yelled at like this when she orders food later, will she?
It wasn’t like this the last time I came here!
The last time they came, it was Shen Ruofei who treated them and ordered the dishes. Yi Xiaoqiu didn't know that the waiter's attitude would be not very polite when he was busy, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
I spend money on food and still get scolded.
Yi Xiaoqiu was hesitating whether to go back to the farm for a meal when a familiar voice came from behind him.
"Xiao Qiu, it's so cold, are you coming to eat too?"
Yi Xiaoqiu felt that the voice was very familiar. Turning around, he saw that it was indeed Su Mianmian.
"I..." She was about to say that she was not here to eat.
Su Mianmian pulled Yi Xiaoqiu and said, "Come on, I'll treat you to a meal!"
She earned so much money in just one trip this morning, and she felt a little guilty if she didn't treat Yi Xiaoqiu to a meal.
"I see it's quite busy in there, and the waiter isn't too surly. Why don't we go back and eat?"
Su Mianmian glanced at the scene in the middle, but didn't care. "No, let's eat here! I'll go order later."
The food in the state-owned restaurant is quite good. It's a rare occasion for her to come here and eat there, so she won't go back. She doesn't want to cook all day.
As for the waiter's attitude, she didn't care.
She had seen many powerful villains who took advantage of others to get what they wanted, so she didn't take a waiter seriously at all.
Su Mianmian parked her car and walked into the state-owned restaurant slowly and leisurely. She looked dignified and ladylike in every move she made, just like the daughter of a wealthy family.
Yi Xiaoqiu stared in amazement for a moment, then followed him into the state-owned restaurant.
As soon as the two of them entered the door, many people immediately looked towards the gate.
Su Mianmian wore a beige cotton long-sleeved dress that she made herself, looking very ladylike.
She wanted to embroider some flowers, but gave up because she thought it was a special period, and put a lot of effort into cutting the skirt.
Yi Xiaoqiu's floral dress with a doll collar makes her look lively and playful.
The two men's figures and appearances stood out among the gray crowd.
They stood together, both with their hair braided into pigtails, and at first glance, they looked like a pair of sisters.
"You go find a seat, I'll go line up and order."
Su Mianmian was stunned by the look, but quickly came to her senses, left this for a moment, and went straight to queue up.
"That..."
Yi Xiaoqiu didn't care about other people's eyes. When she saw her go to order food, she felt relieved.
If someone orders food, she won't have to endure that pain.
Money is secondary. The main thing is that she doesn't want to spend money on meals and then get scolded.
Yi Xiaoqiu looked around the lobby and his gaze finally fell on a seat where a grandfather and grandson were sitting.
