Chapter 440 Buying Rice

After leaving the matter to Ma Liguo, Shen Yunfang continued with her final exam.

In mid-January 1980, when the Agricultural University was on holiday, Shen Yunfang was free and started to tidy up the courtyard.

In December, she wrote to Li Xianglian, asking her family to come and help her with some work in mid-January.If they are asked to come to play, they may not be able to come, but if they are asked to help with work, with Sister Li's temper, they must come on time.Of course, she also mailed the family's train ticket money along with the letter.

Sister Li's family came here, and they will live there for almost two years. The time is not short, and it is inconvenient to live upstairs.Sister Li's family couldn't live comfortably, so she wanted to tidy up the courtyard and let her family live there.

The furniture, bedding, etc. in the courtyard are all complete, but if you want to live in, you still need to prepare some daily necessities.

Especially now that it is winter, if there is no stove burning in the house, there is no way to live in it, so Shen Yunfang is going to buy some briquettes while he is free now.

Tickets are also required to buy briquettes. Shen Yunfang didn't have such tickets in her hand, but because she knew that Sister Li's family was coming back, she asked Ma Liguo to help change some in advance.

He is the invoice, so it is still a little convenient, just take some remittance certificates in his hand, and exchange a lot.

Honeycomb briquettes are very cheap, about a penny more than a piece. Shen Yunfang bought 200 yuan first, and transported them back to the courtyard in four trips, and stacked them neatly to the bottom of the wall.

She went to the small market in the east of the family area and walked around, and she really showed her that there were food sellers.

A man in his 40s was squatting on the side of the road wearing a tattered overcoat with his sleeves tucked in his sleeves. There was a cloth bag in front of him that hadn't been opened. From the outside, he really didn't know what he was selling.

Shen Yunfang came to see him mainly because he seemed to be a grain seller, so she asked with the mentality of trying it out, but she didn't expect that this person was really a grain seller.

"Comrade, how much is your rice per catty?" Shen Yunfang opened the bag, revealing the rice inside. She grabbed a handful and looked at it. It was indeed this year's new rice, but it was hand-pounded rice. The rice husk is still there.

"Girl, these are all new rice from this year. If you really want it, you can give me [-] cents a catty. Although it is more expensive, my rice is delicious, really. If you want it all, I will give it to you." I'm giving you a cheaper price." The middle-aged man said nervously, he had inquired that the price in the grain store was [-] cents a catty, and his price was equivalent to double that of the public house.

He also just arrived, and it was his first time to sell rice, and he didn't dare to shout. He heard that there was a market here, and no one caught selling things here, so he carried it over and sold it.Just squatting for a while, someone came to ask, his nervous mouth was a little dick.

Shen Yunfang looked at the cloth bag in front of her, and visually estimated that it should be about fifty catties, "How many catties does your bag have in total?"

When the man heard that this beautiful girl really wanted to buy them all, he said excitedly, "It's fifty catties in total. I weighed it at home, and it's definitely enough. If you want it all, I'll charge you 14 yuan and five. "

Fifty catties of rice, a total of 15 yuan, which is [-] cents cheaper for her.

Although Shen Yunfang felt that the [-] cents was too cheap, she also knew that it was because of the cruelty of others. It was a matter of not being a [-] cents, but at this moment, the purchasing power of [-] cents was quite strong.

At least enough for a family of three for a day.If you know how to live, you can live for three or four days with fifty cents.

"Okay, I bought all of these, but I don't have a bag, why don't you take it home for me, and I'll give you the bag." Shen Yunfang happily bought them all.

"Zhong, where is your home, is it far away?" The man nodded in agreement, he was very happy to be able to sell all the rice at once.

"It's not far, it's in this family area. Put the rice bag on my bicycle, and I'll give you the money first." After finishing speaking, Shen Yunfang took out money from her pocket, counted out 14 yuan and handed it over. .

The man rubbed his hands and took the money, looked around, counted carefully one by one, and counted back and forth on both sides, then carefully put the money next to him, and then put the money in Shen Yunfang with a bag of rice on the rear seat of the car.

Shen Yunfang pushed the bicycle, and the man was holding the bag behind, and the two walked towards the courtyard together.

On the way, Shen Yunfang spoke to the middle-aged man behind, "Comrade, you are a farmer nearby."

The middle-aged man was very vigilant, and when she asked him where he was, he looked at her vigilantly. If he hadn't been reluctant to part with the cloth bag of rice, he would have turned around and ran away.

"Uncle, don't be nervous, I'm just asking, I don't mean anything else." Shen Yunfang smiled reassuringly, "Uncle, I came to see you selling rice. I think your family must have a lot of rice. I have a lot of family members. Usually there is not enough food to eat, so I finally met you to sell rice, so I wanted to ask if you have any extra rice at home, and if so, sell it to me."

There are five people in Sister Li's family, the youngest child is ten years old, and the two boys can eat it. The fifty catties of rice can last for more than ten days. Buy some, why can't the eldest sister's family come here and save money.

"Do you still want rice?" The middle-aged man asked suspiciously.

"Yes, we have a lot of children, and the rice won't last long, so I thought that if you still have rice in your house, uncle, you can give me some if you have time. It's still the price, it doesn't have to be cheap, how much do you have? How much does it cost." Shen Yunfang said proudly.

She doesn't like too much rice. Although she hasn't eaten half of the 1000 catties of rice she has kept in her space over the past few years, she still thinks rice is cheap and it is a good idea to save more.

"Really?" The middle-aged man's eyes lit up.

"Then what else is there to do, I'll take you to my house in a while, if you have rice, just send it to me." Shen Yunfang said while walking.

"Then, then I will send you two hundred catties of rice tomorrow?" the middle-aged man asked tentatively.Two hundred catties, that's 60 yuan.

"Okay, when will you come tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you at home." Shen Yunfang smiled.

"Then I'll bring it to you tomorrow morning." The man said immediately. "Then you want rice, do you want white flour?"

"Yes, it would be better if you have noodles, I'll give you the same price as rice, how about it." Shen Yunfang smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"Hey, okay, when I go home to clean up, I'll send you as much as I have in the house. Don't worry, I will definitely give you enough scales, so I won't let you suffer." The middle-aged man promised.

The two had already reached the courtyard. Shen Yunfang supported the bicycle, then unlocked the lock, and pushed open the courtyard door.

The two entered the yard, Shen Yunfang went to the house to find a bag, and together with the middle-aged man, poured out the rice.

The middle-aged man also found out that this little girl's family is the only one in this yard, no wonder this little girl can afford so much rice to eat, the affectionate family is rich.

The middle-aged man was more at ease, and secretly made a decision to clean up with his wife when they got home, keep enough rice and noodles for the family to eat for the New Year, and sell the rest.

As for what I usually eat at home, isn't there still corn stubble, and eating big stubble can still fill me up.
