Hard times have room

Chapter 72

Carrying these things, Pauline found a secluded place to sit, put the things in the space, and then rested for half an hour, carried the backpack into the woods and wandered around, took off her hood, and changed into a set of clothes. , took care of his hair.

The current weather gave her a bad premonition. It hasn't rained for a month, which will inevitably affect the growth of crops, and the crops will also be reduced.

Thinking of the past three years on earth in the late 50s, Pauline was afraid. Although this place was very different from the previous life she knew, in case, she planned to take advantage of this big event to make money. Spend more, put more edible things in the space, and gather more. Anyway, there is food in the space, so I don’t panic.

Besides, who knows when the situation will change and become more tense. When that time comes, the once-a-month big show will be canceled directly for you. If you don't have a ticket, that's the only way to buy things without money. Now that I spend it, I am also comfortable, so as not to be entangled with money alone.

Thinking of this, Paulin no longer hesitated, and she flashed smoothly from a place where there were not many people, and mixed into the crowd of people.

Now there are a lot of children in the big fair, running around lively, looking very happy, Baolin saw three or four little children from Shanghe Village surrounded by a stall selling twists, eager to His eyes stared at the fragrant twist, and he tried to smell the sweet twist, and could not wait to eat them with his eyes.

Paulin looked at the stall from a distance of three or four meters, secretly swallowed her saliva, she was so greedy, the twist that just came out of the pot was covered with a golden caramel color and sprinkled with a few white sesame seeds. Makes people drool.

After gritting her teeth, Pauline still walked up: "Comrade, are these twists sold like this?"

When the stall owner saw someone asking the price, he smiled and squinted his eyes in a hurry, and replied in the best manner: "One dime a pound, if you want to buy a lot, you can also send two."

"I want three pounds and pack them separately, can I send two?" After thinking about it, Pauline said.

One catty eats at home to satisfy cravings, and the remaining two catties will be delivered to Li Ting next month.

"If I can, I'll wrap it up for you." This is a big customer. His twist is white noodles, oil, sugar, and sesame seeds. In fact, the cost of making a pound is only seven cents. Money is about, if you do more, you can reduce it a little bit. Small business, although you don't make much money, it's still a little bit.

Usually, I only set up a stall on the set, and occasionally there are regular customers who order directly from his house. Just selling this twist, his family can earn about ten yuan a month, and life is much better.

His elder brother works as the director of the grain station in the county town, so it’s not a problem for him to get this hard-to-get stuff. He can earn two or three dollars every time he gathers, and he can usually make seven or eight dollars a month if he orders from his house. In addition to the combined salary of more than 40 yuan for him and his wife, although there are three small children in the family, the small life is also nourishing and comfortable.

"It's packed, click to see, the two extra ones are put in this pack." The stall owner pointed to the pack on the far right and said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll give you the money." Paulin took the things with both hands. After confirming that it was correct, she counted three gross receipts and handed them over.

The kid next to him saw that this man bought three kilograms of fragrant twist. He was very envious. His saliva was almost drooling down. As the man walked away with their favorite twist, then turned his head and slobbered at the twist on the stall owner's stand.

The stall owner smiled and didn't chase them away. These little girls are still very good at attracting customers. Occasionally, the stall owner will leave those scum to these little girls when they close the stall. , these little babies are just staring here and can't go away.

After Paulin left the twist stall, she wandered around to see if there were any food sellers.

As a result, she really let her see more than ten people selling grain in front of them, two selling sweet potatoes, five selling potatoes, one selling soybeans, one selling red bean, and a few selling peas and broad beans. Not very far and not a lot.

Paulin has inquired about the price, and it takes four cents to sell sweet potatoes. It really is rare and expensive. When sweet potatoes first start in autumn, it will only be two cents per pound, which is more than double the price. The appearance of the sweet potatoes is not very good, and it smells like fermentation. It must be a little bad, so Pauline didn't buy them either. She still has about [-] kilograms of sweet potatoes in her backpack. That's it.

Potatoes cost three cents a catty, which is a penny more expensive than Autumn Daji, but it should be more expensive at this time. At this time, potatoes have not been grown for a long time. They look very fresh and pleasing, and the price is also suitable. Pauline bought them intermittently. Three people, a total of 87 catties, cost two yuan and six cents.

It's not that she didn't want to buy all the potatoes, but that she bought three people and it's already a bit conspicuous.

Afterwards, Paulin went to two or three places respectively, bought [-] catties of peas and broad beans, spent three dollars, and saved space.

At this time, Shanghe Village did not divide potatoes into potatoes because the soil quality of Shanghe Village was not suitable for potato growth.

If you plant it, you can grow, but there are few knots. There are three or four knots in one pit, and the ones that grow are also small.

One acre of land weighs two or three hundred pounds per scale, just enough to plant seeds and artificial fertilizers.

Fortunately, it was a trial planting that year, and there were not many plantings. In the next few years, I have tried planting. The fertility is sufficient, the grass and insects are cleaned up, and they are carefully served. Shanghe Village just grows rape, cabbage, radishes and the like, and adds some oil and water to add vegetables in the coming year.

Pauline carried the sack with potatoes on her back and went to the pine forest. She hid in the grass and saw no one following. She let out a heavy sigh.

Fortunately, under the cover of the cloth covering the basket, she secretly reached out and collected more than half of the things in the space, otherwise she would not be able to carry so many things on her back.

Paulin hid in the haystack for about ten minutes to confirm it was safe, then took back the back basket and walked out, went inside, found a more secluded place, changed her clothes and shoes, and the things on her face. After taking it off, he washed his face with water, put on his usual attire, and walked out with a basket on his back.

This time, Wang Baolin is going to buy something. First, I went to the meat stall. Now there are not many people here. Whoever wants to buy meat didn't come to line up early to choose the meat. Now the meat stall is full of bones without meat or smelly. The pig intestines are all left over.

Paulin bought two cylinder bones, two hairs, a spare ribs, and three hairs, and asked the master to help chop them up.

This time, Paulin has been paying attention to the eyes of the stall owner, and after confirming that he did not recognize her as the woman who came here to buy meat twice before, a smile flashed in her eyes.

The current Paulin looks like a little girl of eleven or twelve years old. She looks childish, and she is half a head shorter than the previous one. As long as she is not blind, she will not associate the two with each other.

　The works are on the shelves, I hope you will support more in the future
