Seventy cannon fodder is a ruthless man

Chapter 25
As soon as Meng Tao heard it, don't say it, this is really a good idea.

It not only repaid his money, but also saved their own money. Many people in the countryside plant one or two orange trees in their backyards. They usually do not dare to sell the fruit. They are secretly used to exchange for some daily necessities. It's easy to get; a local product, isn't it like dried sweet potatoes, dried radishes, dried eggplants, and dried cowpeas?Anyway, that's all for rural production, the price is set by yourself, and you can give enough quantity... It's just the same as online shopping in later generations, great!

The more Meng Tao thought about it, the brighter her eyes became: with more people trading like this, wouldn't she be able to make money by mailing parcels?

I turned my eyes to look around, and I quickly became discouraged. I could only imagine that reality would not allow it. The eyes of the masses are sharp, and if someone noticed that she was making such a profit, it would be speculative and she would definitely be arrested and sent to a labor camp.

However, Shen Yu, the customer who delivered to the door, can't let go. Meng Tao simply took out the work diary in the school bag and asked Shen Yu to write down his detailed address. Give him his address to show his credibility: people are in that village and can't escape.

Meng Zhehan was looking at something wrong. There was no reason. His brother hadn't moved yet. Shen Yu's address went up first. He also hurriedly took Meng Tao's book, wrote his address, and told her to write to him. .

Meng Tao readily agreed, and said that he would also send some oranges and special products to his brother "500 years ago".

Meng Zhehan was very happy, and said a few words to Sister Taohua. Zhang Guoqing looked at his watch and reminded Teacher Meng that it was time to go back to class.

So several people broke up on the street. Meng Zhehan and Zhang Guoqing took Shen Yu's car back to the college. After Shen Yu sent them off, they had to go to work, and Meng Tao went shopping.

Since Meng Tao was able to go shopping by herself yesterday and go back to the steel mill by car, she is not worried that she will get lost.

It had been agreed at the dinner table just now that the next Saturday, Meng Zhehan and Zhang Guoqing would come over to take Meng Tao to the train station and take the train back to their hometown.

Today and tomorrow, Meng Tao can visit the provincial capital.

But the provincial capital of D province is a famous historical city. It is very big. It is impossible for Meng Tao to finish the tour in two days. She does not have that ambition. It is a place of historical interest that has been renovated in later generations and has no strong commercial atmosphere.

The important goal this afternoon is to complete my purchasing plan first.

Xian Fangfang's special tickets could be spent in any department store building, and Meng Tao took the bus to the nearest second department store.

This time I went shopping in more detail. After all, I have money tickets and can buy things, so I have to choose.

The fourth floor sells clothing, shoes, socks, bedding and cloth. The clothing counter is exactly as Xian Fangfang said. Many autumn and winter clothes have been displayed. The styles are conservative, loose enough and casual, and there are also slightly self-cultivating styles. Most of the colors are street colors. The common blue, gray, and black, there are a few more conspicuous brighter, beige, sky blue, silver gray, as well as pure white shirts, thin woolen plaid and floral women's coats.

These clothes styles are not good in Meng Tao's eyes. After all, the aesthetics are different across the years, but she knows her current appearance. In the eyes of the city people, she is also rustic and rustic. Her ready-to-wear, which is much stronger than her own, so she is not qualified to dislike it.

Picking and choosing, Meng Tao herself matched five sets of clothes, all of which were long-sleeved coats. She had two sets for autumn, two sets for winter, and the other set for autumn was given to Zhou Cuiling. Zhou Cuiling also gave Meng Tao a set before. Summer clothes, come and go.

Then I bought two sets of autumn clothes, long pants and two pairs of cotton socks, one pair of nylon socks. The cotton socks were cheap, only [-] cents a pair, while the nylon socks cost [-] cents.

A pair of sandals and slippers for bathing, a pair of rubber-soled elastic shoes for work, and a pair of low-heeled black corduroy fabric buckle shoes. I usually wear them. I want to buy a pair of semi-high-heeled leather shoes. The stone road, or forget it, the road conditions, how many leather shoes are not bad enough, and it is not easy to walk, I am afraid of feet.

I bought two new towels, four printed handkerchiefs, and three scarves. The variegated fringed plaid scarves that are often seen in movies and the more western-style solid-color woolen scarves, the plaid ones are given to Aunt Yang, the western-style solid color Scarves, bright red and beige, for Zhou Cuiling and herself, Zhou Cuiling is suitable for bright red, Meng Tao's skin is too bad at present, and she has not been adjusted well, other colors will only make her darker, so use beige.

Bedding Meng Tao picked out a white gauze mosquito net, two sheets, and two pillow covers to change and wash. There were no ready-made quilt covers for sale, so she pulled a special cloth for wind quilt covers with a width of six meters and went back to sew them.

I saw that the finely spun floral cloth is very cute, the color is fresh and elegant, and it has been pulled for a few meters. I can learn to cut clothes by myself, and it is also good for curtains.

After buying so many things at once, the salespersons looked at Meng Tao with admiration and served her very warmly and thoughtfully.

Xian Fangfang bought all the special welfare tickets and cloth tickets, and Meng Tao also added dozens of dollars in cash.

I don't regret it, I have to buy what I need to buy. When I don't have money, Meng Tao will save money. When I have money, she will never treat herself badly.

Got a few soap tickets, went to the laundry counter and bought soap, body soap and seagull shampoo.

On the counter next door are a kettle, a washbasin, a tin bucket, etc. Meng Tao found out the industrial coupons and bought the iron bucket and kettle, two enamel washbasins, one pure white and the other printed with big red peony flowers, the pure white one should be put in The space is connected to pine needle dew, and the face wash of peony is used.

I also bought a light-blue enamel cup with a lid, a square, medium-sized aluminum lunch box, and a small aluminum spoon. Want stainless steel, but not have to sell.

On the train, I saw many people bring their own cups and lunch boxes to fetch hot water and buy food. Meng Tao felt that she should also have a set, which can be used for travel and home furnishing.

Mumbai bought a large travel bag. When stuffing things in, most of them were directly put into the space. The iron bucket and washbasin were carried first, and they were also put in when they walked to the corner of the stairs when no one was there. Get a travel bag, it's not too heavy.

At the food counter on the first floor, I bought [-] catties of brown sugar, [-] catties of rock sugar and [-] catty of hard candy with sugar tickets.

Walking out of the department store, Meng Tao took a car to the traditional Chinese medicine store she saw yesterday. She would not let go of those few pills. She bought them all and spent 100 yuan.

There is a Xinhua Bookstore not far from the traditional Chinese medicine store. Meng Tao went in and picked out two agricultural science and technology books and a Xinhua dictionary.

There are also seven or eight villain books. I plan to give one to each of Zhou Cuiling’s three younger brothers, and keep a few for myself. The ancient words of meticulous painting are exquisite and beautiful, such as Liaozhai, talented and beautiful women, although I feel the plot is bloody. , but just like it.

In less than half a day, she spent nearly two hundred cash in cash. Meng Tao had to admire herself, she was really a spending maniac.It is only because there is a small space to store it that I dare to buy so much. If I really bring so many things back to the village on the bright side, I will be scolded by the captain Bao Shunfeng as a prodigal girl.

For the time being, she couldn't think of anything else to buy, so she walked around the streets with a half-empty travel bag, wandering aimlessly. When she walked through a shady alley with several tall locust trees, she thought this place was pretty good. Quiet and quiet, I took advantage of the opportunity to sit down on the stone bench at the foot of the alley and rest.

Within a few minutes of sitting, two middle-aged men approached and asked in a low voice, "Girl, what are you selling?"

Meng Tao was secretly surprised: How do you see these two people, they seem to be connected by secret agents, mysterious, and what are you asking?

She replied smoothly, "I have nothing to sell."

A man pointed to the travel bag she had put beside her: "In here..."

"This is what I bought."

"Oh, I'm sorry, we thought you were selling something. Since you have already bought it, little girl, you should leave quickly. It's too ostentatious to put a bag like this, and the pickets won't come here. It’s easy to say, after all, we’re buying and selling stealthily, so we have to be careful!”

After the other man finished speaking, the two turned around and left.

Meng Tao was stunned for a while, trying to understand one thing: she came to a place where people trade privately, which is the black market as the saying goes, and was mistaken for something to sell.

I got up and left with my bag in a hurry. I walked to the opposite street, and then looked back at the deep alley. I was quite good at choosing a place. This place is really suitable for private transactions. There are street intersections on both sides. trace.

When I got back to the steel mill by bus, it was already night and the lights were on.

　The second shift is coming, and we routinely ask for tickets.
