The uncle is about fifty years old, wearing black-framed glasses, a clean blue cloth shirt, and an immortal pen in his left pocket. He is gentle and clean, but his eyes are dry, and his whole body exudes a dull aura of breath.
“Brother, do you want noodles?”
The uncle was stunned when he heard this, stared at her in disbelief, followed her to the hidden place, looked around, and then asked in a low voice:
“How do you sell noodles?”
“It costs 2 pounds, 80 cents a pack, and it uses the best flour.”
The uncle looked at her. She was not dressed simply, but she was not as decent as a city man. She was just open-minded and not cramped, unlike ordinary tyrants.
“Big girl, you really have noodle noodles.” He was hospitalized when he was sick and wanted to buy some rice and noodles to serve the patient, but the situation is tense now and there is a big trouble outside. He was suspended. For a while, he really didn’t know where to find food coupons.
Zhen Zhen blocked it with a sack and took out a pack of noodles.
When the uncle saw the appearance of the noodles, his eyes were brighter than that of the aunt. He took out two or four cents tremblingly and whispered, “Give me three packs.”
Zhen Zhen didn’t expect that he would have three packs at one time, and took out the noodles and put them in his black handbag.
“Look at it.”
The uncle opened it and looked at it carefully.
“Big girl, do you have anything else to do, next time I want noodles, where to find you?”
“What else do you want?”
The uncle said rudely: “My lover is hospitalized, I want to buy some brown sugar and old hens.”
Zhen Zhen has a newly killed old hen in the space. “I have both brown sugar and old hens, but I can only bring the old hens to kill.”
“It’s OK to kill! Then I’ll order you a pack of brown sugar and an old hen.”
Zhen Zhen didn’t expect that there were repeat customers when he sold things for the first time.
“I’ll be here in three days. If you need it, you can come and wait for me.”
The uncle nodded, did not dare to delay, and left with his bag.
Just as Zhen Zhen was about to change the place, he suddenly heard a low cry: “It’s her! Don’t let her go!”
Isn’t it that it’s not so unlucky, it’s so easy to be caught. Speculation is very serious these days, and if it’s not done well, it’s going to be shot.
Zhen Zhen was about to put the evidence of guilt into the space when he heard the man say:
“Big girl, I finally found you. My sister also wants to buy some noodles. Do you still have them?”
It turned out to be the aunt who bought noodles before.
Zhen Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. A woman dressed more decent than her stood beside the aunt, but she looked dirty and didn’t know how many days she had been hungry.
“You…you really have noodles,” she said anxiously.
“Yes, but now it’s 80 cents and 2 kilograms. I’ll agree first. It’s not that I want to raise the price, but I don’t have much noodles outside. Many people are waiting to ask for it. If you don’t buy it, the price will only be higher in the future.”
The woman was relieved. The aunt wanted to bargain, but 80 cents and 2 kilograms were indeed not expensive. She was afraid that Zhen Zhen would not sell the bargain, so she stood aside and said nothing.
The woman caught a glimpse of the appearance of the noodles and gritted her teeth and said, “Okay! 80 cents are only 80 cents. Give me 3 packs, and I will bring 2 packs for others.”
Zhen Zhen nodded and handed her five packs of noodles. The noodles were heavy in her hand. She felt that it was necessary to raise the price.
Zhen Zhen didn’t dare to wander around one place for too long, for fear of arousing others’ suspicion, so he went to another place and sold 10 packs of noodles for 1 yuan per pack.
When she had money, she could buy some daily necessities. She walked into the department store and pointed to the thermos at the counter.
“Comrade, please give me a thermos.”
The salesperson glanced at her with a perfunctory attitude, “Tickets.”
Zhen Zhen took out the thermos ticket. The original owner had many unused notes, all sent back with the allowance when Mr. Meng was alive. However, the original owner had eaten up all the money and was never willing to spend “injustly” to buy such things.
The salesperson looked at the ticket carefully and bent down reluctantly to get the thermos.
Zhen Zhen paid 1.80 cents, took the thermos to the supply and marketing cooperative that sold cloth, and took out two Wushi Rubber cloth tickets. If you have a ten-foot cloth ticket, you don’t have to buy a ten-foot cloth. It depends on the thickness and type of cloth. For example, you can buy two or three-foot cloth for one foot cloth ticket. In the end, Zhen Zhen spent 5 yuan to buy a 15-foot cloth.
After buying these things, she only had 11 yuan left. It sounded less, but her purchasing power was strong, which was enough for the family to live for a month.
In the evening, Zhen Zhen and Lao Zhou met.
“Have you bought all the things?”
“I’ve bought them.”
Lao Zhou laid straw on the cart and asked her to lie down.
He glanced at the sack, which contained an army-green kettle and several feet of cloth. Lao Zhou shook his head when he saw it. The Meng family was about to lose food. The prodigal girl even bought cloth to make new clothes for herself. She had all her granddaughters, and she even bought such pretty colors!
When he got home, Zhen Zhen washed his hands and went into the house to open the original owner’s cabinet, took out the noodles, brown sugar, white rabbit milk candy and soy milk powder from the space, and removed the outer packaging and locked it into the cabinet.
When Da Ya saw her coming back, she took out two eggs from under the old hen’s butt, ran to Zhen Zhen happily, and said in a pleasing way:
