"Well, if you don't have it, then you don't have it. Let's go and ask if we can change some fabrics. I guess I have to get it from someone else."
Tan Shaoting was mainly worried that she would be disappointed if he couldn't change the fabric. Hearing what she said made him feel relieved.
The two wandered around the city and found a sparsely populated place. They put out the cart with more than a hundred Japanese melons on it, and then covered it with a straw curtain.
This place is not far from the textile factory. When they arrived at the door, they were just in time to get off work here.
When the workers saw a cart of large Japanese melons, the place was completely surrounded by water.
One dollar and five dollars each. It’s all a rush.
"Beautiful sisters, don't worry. If you have any fabric, you can exchange it with me. We country people are in short supply of that."
"How to replace it?" Textile factory workers still have benefits. They can buy defective products very cheaply.
"Sister, I don't know this either?"
At this time, an older woman said, "I'll trade the defective product with you, three feet for two Japanese melons."
Su Yuanyuan nodded immediately, "Okay, I believe Auntie."
"Then I don't have it with me now."
"It doesn't matter. Auntie, please take the Japanese melon back today and I'll come back to get it tomorrow."
Seeing such a down-to-earth little girl, everyone felt embarrassed.
"Let's do this, I'll go back and get it, and you leave four Japanese melons for me."
"That's okay. If you want to change it, tell me how much it costs, and I'll keep it for you. But I'll have to move to another place later, and it won't work here. This is a mistake."
The older man thought for a while, "You can go into the textile factory, but you can only stay with the guard."
"Okay. I'll go in in a moment."
"Just tell the guard that Director Tian let you in."
Now everyone started to make reservations, but in the end they didn't even have to spend money to buy anything and they all wanted to change.
Su Yuanyuan and Tan Shaoting pulled the platoon cart into the textile factory. Now they were relieved. The noise just now was too loud. They were really afraid of being arrested.
The uncle of the doorman was a very talkative person, and he chatted with them all over the world.
After about an hour, people came over to change them one after another.
Finally, Su Yuanyuan stopped Director Tian and said, "Aunt Tian, I still have corn kernels, wheat, and pork here."
"And pork?"
"Um."
"how many?"
Su Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Aunt Tian, how much can you want?"
"Twenty pounds, can you give me twenty pounds?"
"Yes, can it be done on the floor?"
"Isn't there Houyang? My children like to eat lean meat."
"Of course, I will give you the same ten catties. They are all the same price, two yuan and a half per catty."
Director Tian decided that the price of two and a half yuan was too high, but he also knew that it was impossible to buy meat now. These twenty kilograms of meat would last until the summer for their family of four. It was not expensive at all.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay. Just give me the same ten pounds. How can I sell the wheat?"
"Three cents a pound, Aunt Tian, do you have a place to grind the noodles?"
"Yes, we have a steel mill here. The flour produced is delicious. You can give me fifty kilograms of wheat. Where is the corn?"
"Twenty-five cents a pound of corn."
"Then also give me fifty pounds of cornmeal."
"Okay, Aunt Tian, we will follow you home and identify the door. We will send you there around 11 o'clock tonight."
"Okay, let's go. My home is not far from here."
Because the two were talking in low voices, several people were very curious.
"Sister Tian, what's good?"
"Little girl, this is Lu Jing, the workshop director of our third workshop. I can definitely trust you."
Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, and told the Lu workshop director the price.
"Little girl, I want this much too. I'll wait for you at Sister Tian's house tonight."
This time another deal was made, but the workers dared to spend money.
It was past seven o'clock when the two of them came out of the textile factory. They found a place with leeward wind, had a cup of milk tea each, and then ate meat buns.
Another platoon truck was sent out to pull furniture.
They knocked on the door. Soon the door opened.
"Are you here? I'm afraid you won't come?"
"Don't worry, since we said we wanted it, we will definitely come."
The beautiful girl lit a kerosene lamp for them. Su Yuanyuan handed her the flashlight, "Comrade, help us shine the light."
The two of them loaded two carts full of furniture for this room, and finally tied them up with ropes.
Su Yuanyuan handed the little beauty half a bag of corn.
"Comrade, look, this is fifty pounds of corn kernels. And please tell your grandma that we will definitely use and cherish these pieces of furniture."
"Well, I will definitely tell my grandma."
After the furniture was sold, their family felt at ease.
The two of them were pulling the car on the road, and it was pitch dark. There was no light at all. In fact, some people were not sleeping, and the light of the kerosene lamp could not be seen outside.
These furniture are really heavy. Although most of them are made of red pine, there are still some precious woods.
Besides, this hundred yuan is really not much.
After walking for a while, the two of them got into the alley. Tan Shaoting wanted Su Yuanyuan to put them away.
It only took an hour to load the car, so it was almost ten o'clock now, so the two of them pulled a car to Director Tian's house.
The same thing happened here. As soon as they knocked on the door, the door opened quickly. There were things the two of them needed in the car.
Director Tian is a cautious person, she overdoes everything, a little more of everything, but definitely not less.
"Little girl, you two drink water. We have some good cloth here. You can see if you want it. Don't worry, we will give it to you at the lowest price. This piece of cloth is twenty meters long, and one meter will be given to you.
It costs you one yuan. If you buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative, it costs two yuan for three feet of cloth, which is one meter, right? Besides, the quality of our cloth is very good."
Su Yuanyuan didn't understand this, but the fabric was indeed quite thick to the touch.
"Okay, thank you, Director Tian."
Each of them paid 80 yuan, and each of them asked for two pieces of cloth, one army green, one ginger, one royal blue, and one gray.
The remaining two people each paid forty yuan.
Now both parties were quite satisfied. Su Yuanyuan and the others pulled the car and left.
They put away the platoon car halfway and hurried to the train station. No matter where they were going, as long as it was in the right direction, the two of them bought tickets directly.
Tan Shaoting exchanged Japanese melons for sleeper tickets. Only then did the two of them have time to sit down and eat.
There were not many people taking the train at this time. So the two of them occupied the same compartment for the past three days, which was very comfortable.
Su Yuanyuan is very satisfied with the harvest in City C.
I thought that if this continued, they would really be able to sell some of the inventory in the space along the way.
