Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 28 Purchasing Power

"You young man, of course you use this cloth for this... this funeral, and the living people also wear it! You are talking about the color! Just go back and let the women at home dye it, won't it be fine! If you want to buy dyed ones, the price will probably go up. Pay 2 cents!"

The uncle looked at Jiang Defu with some surprise. Judging from his appearance, the young man was not stupid. What he said...

Only then did Jiang Defu realize that he had made a mistake and said something about a funeral in front of a cloth seller. If he had done this in his previous life, he might have been kicked out!
"Then I'll buy some. How many feet does it take for one person to make clothes?"

Jiang Defu had never bought cloth in his previous life, and there were very few people who knew how to make clothes in his previous life, so he just bought clothes directly.

"If you want to be more generous, you need to be five or six feet tall! There is so much fabric, even rags can be used to make shoe inscriptions. Don't waste it. Little brother, if you want to buy more, buy more. There is no such shop after this village! I heard Some larger places don’t have enough supplies and have restricted purchases, limiting how much one person can buy. We are poor here and there aren’t many people buying, so you are taking advantage!”

The man is garrulous and loves to talk.

But it is true that not many people buy cloth. Compared with the grain and oil place, it is really deserted here.

"Then it needs to be 24 feet!"

Jiang Defu said directly.

The price is not very expensive. You can just make a suit for everyone in the family.

Although Jiang Dehua is married, she is still the girl of the family. Although this younger sister is a bit lacking, she is actually very good to the family, including herself. Since I bought it, I will get it for her.

It costs 5 cents per foot, and the cost for 24 feet is only 1 yuan and 2 cents, which is quite cheap.

"Young man, you had 1 cent left over from grain and oil. You pay me 1 yuan. It's not a round number. I can't change it. I should give you 23 feet 5. This is your first business. Move a little bit." 24 feet, I won’t let you suffer, you know it and I know it!”

The middle-aged man whispered.

"That's okay! Thank you, brother, I'll do as you say!"

Jiang Defu didn't want to care so much.

Without change these days, this business is really not very convenient.

He really didn't expect that today's coins don't have small denominations. Did he really not take it into consideration when issuing this version of the currency?
But this matter is not something he can control, as long as the money is exchanged for necessary things!

……

"Brother Defu?"

As soon as Jiang Defu moved the large and small bags of the shopping to the door, he heard Shi Daniu's voice.

Shi Changsheng drove the donkey cart. They put a lot of things on the cart. They had obviously just come from the market.

"Have you all bought everything?"

Jiang Defu looked at them and said.

"Well, the mountain goods we brought were processed over there, and we bought some food while we were there. Brother Changsheng said you were buying things at the supply and marketing society, so we came over. You really bought a lot!"

Shi Daniu was very envious when he saw that Jiang Defu had bought a lot of things.

But now they have become accustomed to thinking that Jiang Defu is different from them.

He had served as a soldier and had relatives in Zhengfu in the city. He was so capable, so he was naturally different from them. It would be great if he could hang out with him.

Before he came out yesterday, Mrs. Shi Daniu told him to listen more to the third child of the Jiang family in the future. That boy was extraordinary.

Shi Daniu was a filial son, and her mother was able to live with him in the village alone during such difficult years. She was not an ordinary woman in her own right.

Shi Changsheng also came over, and together with Shi Daniu, he carried the things Jiang Defu bought onto the mule cart.

Because the town was far away from the village, several people did not dare to delay and went straight home.

When I came out this time, I thought there would be something selling food, so I asked Changsheng and Daniu. Apart from some vegetables and grains, there was nothing superfluous at all.

Think about it, these days are not rich, people are not willing to spend, and naturally there are few doing business.

"Is your mountain product easy to sell?"

On the way, Jiang Defu took out six mixed-noodle buns that Xiao Zeng had packed for him in the cafeteria and gave each of them one to satisfy their hunger. Both of them were a little frightened.

Although the canteen of the Zhengfu compound also sells multi-grain steamed buns, they contain a lot of white flour, and people in the village don't dare to eat them like this.Zhang Guilan and Jiang Decai were reluctant to eat the multigrain steamed buns that Jiang Defu brought back last time, insisting on keeping them for him to replenish his health. He insisted, and they only ate one.

"In the beginning, no one really asked, how could ordinary people be willing to eat it? Later, a few people in work clothes came and bought it, saying that it was for the health of their families. We didn't dare to ask for the money. We had never used the tickets and were worried about being cheated. cheat.

Later, when they heard that we wanted cereals, they seemed to have bought cereals from the supply and marketing cooperative and exchanged them for us! "

Shi Changsheng said.

Jiang Defu knew that those people should all have employees, and the salary they paid was money. If he asked them for food, they didn't farm, so naturally they wouldn't have it.

It should have been purchased from the supply and marketing cooperative and sent over.

"At what price did you sell it?"

"We don't know what price is right, so we asked the man to give us the price. The man said that the current price of meat in the city is only 5 cents per catty, so we calculated it as [-] cents per catty!"

Shi Daniu smiled.

Their family was already short of food, so they brought all the wild animals they hunted this time in exchange for food. With this food, the two of them would definitely be able to hold on until food came out.

Although prices seem to be low in this era, in the final analysis it is difficult to make money.

Jiang Defu sighed a little. He had a total of 52 yuan. This time he spent 12 yuan on fertilizer, leaving 40 yuan left.

It's easy to spend money, but it's probably not easy to make so much money. Fortunately, the countryside can basically be self-sufficient except for cloth. If food is solved, there won't be too many places to spend money.

They ate some dry food and drank some water on the way. The three of them talked and laughed all the way. Time seemed to fly much faster.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, a few people returned to Shi'ao Village.

Because Jiang Defu has the most things, and his home is on a hillside, the farthest away.

They drove to the door of Jiang Defu's house first.

Because Jiang Defu went to the town today, he was worried that Zhang Guilan would come back after going to the fields to pull grass for a while in the morning.

In the afternoon, I did laundry and housework at home, waiting for him to come back so I could make some food for him.

As soon as the mule cart made noise at the door, Zhang Guilan, who was collecting firewood at the door, came out.

"Um, third brother, why did you buy such a thing?"

Zhang Guilan asked in surprise as he watched Changsheng and Daniu help move things in.

"Sister Guilan, move things quickly!"

Jiang Defu smiled and said, knowing that if his second brother Jiang Decai came back, he would definitely say that he was wasted.

Therefore, when he went to the town to buy something today, he didn't even discuss it with them, he just decided to do it first and then tell the story later.

Anyway, I bought it and brought it back, even if I don’t want to eat it, I have to eat it!

Not long after, Jiang Decai came back with a hoe on his back.

Jiang Defu is now a celebrity in the village.

Jiang Decai was hoeing in the fields. Someone saw him and loudly told him that their third brother was back and he seemed to have bought a lot of things.

Rural people are like this. They are very concerned about things in the village and don't understand the sense of distance.

When the three of them came back from the town, many people greeted them and asked about the situation along the way.

However, many people were afraid of Jiang Defu, so they only greeted him from a distance and asked about the situation, but they did not dare to stop the car directly to see what they were buying.

Jiang Decai's reaction was indeed the same as Zhang Guilan's!

"Third brother, you...why did you buy so many things?"
