When the little girl said she was a high school student, Kratos finally showed a smile on his face.
He took another sip of tea and said with a smile, "High school students are rare here. Even the teachers in the town's elementary school are only in junior high school."
Jiang Baige smiled and said, "So what if I'm a high school student? I still have to do farm work."
Seeing the money in front of her, she reached out and took it. There was more than a hundred yuan, all in the form of big unity banknotes.
Then I heard Mr. Kui say, "If you have such good things in the future, please send them to me. I guarantee to give you the highest price."
Before Jiang Baige could even say they could work together again in the future, she heard the answer she wanted. She raised the corners of her lips and said, "Of course, of course."
Looking at the sky outside, she seemed to have been gone for a long time, and hurriedly said: "Master Kui, Fifth Brother, I'm leaving now. If I go back late, my family might worry.
Mr. Kui waved his hand and said, "Go ahead! If you need anything next time, come to me again. I guarantee the cheapest price for you."
Jiang Baige nodded and said, "Okay, I'll definitely come next time."
After hearing what the boss said, the fifth brother led Jiang Baige away.
"Young comrade, next time you come, just knock on the door. If no one comes after you knock three times, you'll have to come back a few days later."
As Fifth Brother said this, he gave the secret code to Jiang Baige.
Jiang Baige responded, "Okay, thank you, Fifth Brother. I'll remember that."
When the fifth brother opened the door, he cautiously opened it a crack, looked outside, and when he saw that there was no one outside, he let her go out.
After thanking Fifth Brother, Jiang Baige strode out of the alley and headed towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
Only when we reached a crowded place did we slow down our pace.
In fact, she regretted it the moment she took out two boxes of lighters. She didn't understand these people and rashly took out so many things. If they didn't give her money and just cheated her, she wouldn't even have a place to cry.
Fortunately, Kratos is not greedy and has good character. It seems that she will come again next time.
Jiang Baige reached into her bag and put the piece of meat wrapped in straw paper into the space under the cover of the backpack.
She only had one meat ticket a month, which meant that this ticket could only buy three taels of meat.
She now has more than two kilograms of meat, and it would be difficult to explain if she took the extra meat back.
If you can't explain it clearly, it will arouse too much suspicion.
She used to live in a city in the future, where pigs were raised on feed.
The meat bought outside has no meaty taste at all.
Now this is local pork, a good thing that you may not be able to buy even if you have money in later generations.
Thinking of this, she took out a piece of meat from the meat cabinet in the space. It was a piece of pork belly weighing about one pound.
He took out another piece of oil paper, wrapped the meat, and put it in his bag.
During this action, others could only see that the little girl's hands were kept in her bag, but could not see what she was doing.
After doing all this, she hurried to the supply and marketing cooperative.
She could still buy this pound of meat by taking out all her tickets, since they didn't know how many tickets she had anyway.
Even if they ask, it's easy to evade them.
After closing the door, the fifth brother hurried into the house.
"Master Kui, that little girl is quite capable. We don't have this thing here."
Mr. Kui also laughed and said, "Not only here, but in the entire county, I can guarantee that there is none."
"This is a unique product. Go call San'er and the others in and have them take a few of these to test the waters first."
Mr. Kui looked at the three boxes in front of him and thought, "If that little girl hadn't used this to pay for her meat today, she wouldn't have been able to walk out of this door so easily."
The door of the small hut next to them opened, and several men came out. San'er said, "Master Kui, you called us."
Mr. Kui knocked on the box on the table and said, "Come on, take some of these things out and sell them to someone."
After some thought, he said, "Let's set it at fifteen dollars each!"
San'er and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. "What is this? Why is it selling for fifteen yuan each?"
The fifth brother picked one up, showed it to them, and said, "Look, this is how you use this foreign thing."
San'er and the others watched carefully and found it strange and novel that the thing in the fifth brother's hand could catch fire with just a scratch.
He said with a smile, "Fifth brother, let me try it too."
Seeing how curious they were, the fifth brother handed the thing in his hand to the third brother, who took it. Then they gathered together and rushed to study this strange thing.
When Jiang Baige arrived at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, only Zhang Hongyang was waiting there.
After Jiang Baige greeted him, she said, "I thought I was late! Haven't they arrived yet?"
Zhang Hongyang looked at Jiang Baige who had just returned and said, "I just arrived too. They should be here soon."
After waiting for a while, the Wu Juan sisters came back soon.
But they didn't look very happy. Wu Lili had a gloomy face and walked awkwardly.
Look carefully, Wu Juan is pushing Wu Lili towards this side.
Zhang Hongyang asked, "What's wrong? Have you bought everything?"
Wu Lili said angrily, "What are you buying? You can't buy anything."
"There were so many people, every stall said they were sold out. I just got to the point where I was waiting in line to get gas, and I had my ticket ready, but when it was my turn, the guy said they were out of gas."
It’s no wonder that Wu Lili is unhappy. There are more than a dozen brigades and dozens of villages in this town.
They rest on this day, and today is market day. With so many people coming to buy things on the same day, how can they buy anything?
Zhang Hongyang also sighed: "It's the same here. When I got there, the meat was already sold out.
On market day, the town only slaughtered two pigs. With more than a dozen teams and so many people, there was not enough to share, so Zhang Hongyang came back empty-handed.
Wu Lili muttered, "Forget about selling meat. I didn't buy any oil or my cousin's salt. The supply and marketing cooperative was packed with people, and every stall was sold out."
After hearing what she said, everyone lowered their heads.
Zhang Hongyang could only comfort them slowly, "There's nothing we can do without it. We can only wait until we don't have to work another day and come out early to try our luck."
Jiang Baige has already prepared the meat, but I heard there is no oil.
She replaced the pork belly with a large piece of fat meat. This piece of fat meat was real fat meat, the kind without any lean meat at all. It was great for cooking with refined oil.
Seeing that they were in a low mood, Jiang Baige whispered, "I did buy some meat, but it's very fatty. I'm afraid it won't taste good."
When Zhang Hongyang and the other two heard that there was meat, they all showed surprise and said, "You bought meat."
Wu Lili also asked happily, "Did you really buy meat?"
At this time, she had long forgotten that she had been targeting Jiang Baige not long ago.
Jiang Baige nodded and said, "I was just passing by there and saw that no one wanted it, so I bought it immediately.
It's better to have something than nothing. Zhang Hongyang asked, "How much did you buy it for? We'll give you the meat coupons and money when we get back."
