Reborn in the fiery age, I am a salted fish in the mountains

Chapter 4 It's really fun to spend money
Chatted with Mr. Chen Wei and explained some things.

Han Xiaokang excused something, and then left.

It was already 10:30 in the morning, and Han Xiaokang didn't have a watch, but the display of the cabinet would show the time.

So Han Xiaokang can always know the time accurately.

Now there are a lot of people going to the market on the street.

They each carry a big backpack, bustling with each other, quite lively.

It's just that when they came to the market, they didn't have anything to buy or sell.

Since private individuals cannot participate in economic activities, the commune members who come to the market are nothing more than selling a few old pumpkins, a few bundles of dry tobacco, or vegetable seedlings from their private plots.

More members actually regard going to the market as one of their few entertainment activities, and most of them come to join in the fun.

Han Xiaokang also doesn't want to go shopping, and now he has 3 yuan and 2 cents left in his pocket.

I have to use this little money to buy some things and go back.

Bear the brunt of the toilet paper must not be less.

Traveling through the past few days, Han Xiaokang still remembers the trembling and sour taste of wiping his butt with bamboo strips.

And once he remembered it, Gouzi couldn't help but tense up!
A stack of shoddy toilet paper was not cheap, and it sold for 7 cents. Han Xiaokang gritted his teeth and bought a stack.

Soap can be used to wash clothes, and more importantly, it can also be used to wash your face and hands, and it costs 3 cents 7.

Come on.

I saw the salesperson at the daily chemical store of the supply and marketing cooperative, very skillfully take out a large bar of soap, and then use the thin hemp rope tied to the wooden counter.

With a "huh--",
Just cut off 12 piece of the 1 bars of soap.

Then the salesperson wrapped the soap in yellow paper: "Where's the paid ticket? Here!"

This woman spoke fiercely, with a serious face.

Han Xiaokang took a look at the slogan "Do not beat and scold customers without reason" written on the store wall, and then looked at the fat and strong women standing at the counter.
Endure it!

a dog
After buying the soap, Han Xiaokang spent another RMB 1 to buy a bottle of extremely expensive "Bee Flower Shampoo" for his old lady.

Because of my mother's hair, I always wash my hair with acacia pods or firewood ash I picked up.

Can't get rid of head lice.

Han Xiaokang plans to let his mother wash her hair with shampoo in the future, which will make her feel more comfortable and refreshed.
After buying these things, I only have 3 cents left in my pocket.

Han Xiaokang came to the "catering service agency" store, intending to see what kind of breakfast they had left.

This kind of state-run catering service agency.

Customers who eat breakfast inside, whether they drink porridge or eat steamed buns, not only need to pay, but also need food stamps.

If you have money but no food stamps, you can't buy things.

But there are always exceptions.

Catering service agencies will find ways to dispose of the leftover steamed buns and fried dough sticks that are sold every morning.

In order to process it faster and not delay the business of dinner at noon, the catering service does not need food stamps when handling these things.

However, they will increase the price!
The value of the food stamps originally needed will be converted into cash and added to the prices of these steamed buns and deep-fried dough sticks.

This way of handling,

In fact, it is mainly aimed at people who want to buy steamed buns and fried dough sticks, but can't get food stamps.

After all, those who work in the unit and have a job can receive food stamps every month.

As for ordinary urban residents who account for a larger proportion, and the vast number of production team members, where can they get food stamps?
When Han Xiaokang came to the large chopping board of the catering service agency, he found that there were no steamed buns and deep-fried dough sticks on the chopping board.

There are only a few fried cakes and pea cakes left.

"Why, little comrade wants to buy fried cakes?"

The person in charge of the catering service agency is a fat man who is rare in the entire revitalization area.

Surname Qian.

Fatty Qian squinted his eyes, and said: "Fried cake, eat the slag, take a bite, the children next door will cry for him; pea cake, oily, eat one and you won't be hungry. How about it?" , buy a few?"

Fried cakes are made of glutinous rice and rice mixed on the outside, and boiled mung beans are wrapped inside.

It's delicious, but a bit expensive.

If you don’t need food stamps, a deep-fried cake costs 9 cents!

You know, a white saccharine steamed bun only sells for 3 cents.
Bought 2 fried cakes.

Han Xiaokang bought 1 pea cakes for another 2 cents.

This fried pea cake is fried with starch and peas, which also adds a small amount of egg juice.

It's delicious.

Especially in the era when there is no oily food in everyone's stomach, it is a rare luxury to be able to eat oily fried food.

Buy something good, and now you only have a nickel in your pocket.

Watching Fatty Qian skillfully use lotus leaves to wrap pea cakes for himself.

Han Xiaokang asked him: "Leader, I want to ask if your unit accepts wild game?"

"Take it."

Fatty Qian replied without raising his head: "However, it depends on what it is. Field eels and loaches are worthless, pheasants and hares are just passable, and wild boars and yellow sheep probably don't exist in your family."

"What if I have one someday?"

"Yes? I have my little daughter-in-law, and I can only see whether it is 'congratulations' or 'good luck' after she is born!

When you have it, check the quality and negotiate the price. If it is not in stock, I told you that there is a hammer for it? "

After listening to Fatty Qian's words, Han Xiaokang couldn't help laughing: This guy is quite funny
Bashu people.

Their family has a baby, and if it is a son, they say "Congratulations, congratulations".

If you were born a daughter, then say "that's fine".
After buying something, Han Xiaokang walked back with the lotus leaf bag.

When passing by a quiet alley, Han Xiaokang stopped and concentrated his thoughts in his mind.

Then he put all the things in his hand into the beehive box.

If someone happened to see this scene right now, they would only see Han Xiaokang in a daze.

And the thing in his hand suddenly disappeared.
In this case, I am afraid that some people will rub their eyes and suspect that they are dazzled.

Some will be full of doubts.

Therefore, when accessing things, Han Xiaokang needs to try his best not to be seen by others, so that it will be safer.

I don't want to be dragged into slice research
After putting away the things, Han Xiaokang walked back quickly.

When passing by the district office, he saw the announcer Yuan Haitang standing at the gate of the compound and waving at him.

Wait until Han Xiaokang approaches.

Yuan Haitang asked in a low voice: "I will broadcast the newsletter you handed in at noon. I read the manuscript carefully and found that Comrade Han Xiaokang, you write very well and are very inspiring.

Comrade Han Xiaokang, can you send more articles to our radio station in the future? "

"Okay, no problem."

Han Xiaokang agreed: "As long as you give me the manuscript fee."

Yuan Haitang was stunned: The whole district, whether it is the cadres and workers in the unit, or the teachers and students in the school, including the propaganda officers in the production brigades.

They submit articles to the district radio station for the sake of honor, and there is no contribution fee at all, okay?

Comrade Han Xiaokang in front of him is obviously very talented in literature and art, so why is he talking about money?

What kind of awareness is this?
"Aren't you willing to pay the manuscript fee?"

Han Xiaokang turned his head and left, "Then you search your own brains every day, and go edit the manuscript. Anyway, the salary paid by the district office is for you.
I said, comrade, you can’t take your salary and use our manuscripts for free, right?Tch. What kind of realization is this? "

It is not difficult for Yuan Haitang to write a few newsletters.

The difficult thing is that after a long period of time and racking our brains to write and compile manuscripts for a long time, no one will feel that their bodies are hollowed out.

"I, I treat you to dinner!"

Yuan Haitang shouted from behind: "You contribute, how about my treat?"

Han Xiaokang said without looking back: "Success."

Back home,
Han Xiaokang took out the fried cake and pea cake and handed them to Mrs. Han Zhang: "Mother, here you are."

Han Zhang swallowed her saliva and asked, "Xiaokang, don't you want to eat?"

"I've eaten it a long time ago, several times!" Han Xiaokang lied, patting his shriveled belly.

"Ugh"

While eating oil cakes, Mrs. Han carefully rubbed the bottle of "Bee Flower Shampoo", "Oh, waste of money!"
