The whole process of handing over public grain was uneventful. When they arrived at Kuixing Village, as Wang Degui roared, the young men in Kuixing Village pushed the grain carts forward to hand over the grain on the scale.
After handing over the grain, it was the village chief Wang Degui’s business.
The young and middle-aged people took advantage of their rare free time to play in the countryside or do shopping.
For example, go to a department store to buy some salt. If you have extra money, you can also buy a few pieces of maltose, red string, etc. for your children.
Fang Xiaoyue took several educated youths and went straight to the purchasing department of the supply and marketing cooperative.
It's time to slowly show off your skills.
When we arrived at the purchasing department, the dark-skinned man was purchasing some herbs, while several villagers stood aside and nodded and counted the money.
No way, for them, every penny is precious. Maybe they can buy a red-headed rope for their daughter, or they can sell one less egg.
After the villagers left, Fang Xiaoyue motioned to Yang Hongxing to take out the straw braid.
The straw weavings brought this time were not only Fang Xiaoyue's works, but also straw hats, cushions and other finished products that Yang Hongxing and others tried to weave.
The dark man could be seen at a glance.
No way, the level difference between him and Fang Xiaoyue is really big.
But even so, the swarthy man still accepted it, but the price he gave was only 10 cents for a straw hat and 15 cents for a cushion.
But even so, this price makes Yang Hongxing and others extremely excited.
Because this is the first time they have truly made money with their own skills.
Of course, their skills and speed were limited, so the straw hats and cushions they knitted were not many, and they could not be sold for much money.
On the contrary, it was Fang Xiaoyue's straw work that caught the attention of the dark man. He picked up the only small harvest celebration painting inside and looked at Fang Xiaoyue with some surprise: "You made this?"
Fang Xiaoyue nodded and said nothing.
The swarthy man couldn't help but marvel at Fang Xiaoyue's small paintings and weaving works. He felt that this was no longer a handicraft, but a work of art.
Of course, even so, this small painting only sold for ten yuan.
No way, supply and marketing cooperatives have rules and regulations.
The swarthy man could only give Fang Xiaoyue the highest price within his scope of authority.
If it exceeds this price, then he can only choose not to acquire it.
Fang Xiaoyue didn't have any dissatisfaction with this. Anyway, he only brought one of these small paintings to sell.
If according to his plan, this small painting can cause some repercussions, it will eventually have to be found on his head.
The final purchase price of these straw-woven works totaled forty-seven yuan and fifty cents.
For the educated youth present, this was undoubtedly a huge sum of money.
After leaving the acquisition department, Fang Xiaoyue was not selfish, but led everyone straight to the department store to buy and buy.
As long as they buy whatever they want.
Unfortunately, at this time, prices are cheap. In future generations, these more than forty yuan can only buy loneliness.
After purchasing a series of creams, pencils, rubber bands, salt, sugar, etc., Fang Xiaoyue took people to other places to buy vegetable oil, pork, ribs, etc.
After going back, everyone was laughing and laughing all the way back. It could be said that they were singing all the way back.
As time goes by, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
Since there is no air conditioning, the small river near Kuixing Village has become a paradise for everyone to enjoy.
Men and children all soaked in the river, enjoying the cool water passing over their bodies and taking away the heat.
During the hottest days, even female comrades gathered around a section of the river to enjoy the water.
Of course, at this time, no man is allowed to pass. Otherwise, he will be a gangster and will be caught and detained at the township office. He may even be sentenced to several years.
And at this hottest time, Fang Xiaoyue's good news arrived.
"Xiao Fang, Xiao Fang, a comrade from the supply and marketing cooperative is looking for you."
Fang Xiaoyue, who was squatting in the shadow of the back of the warehouse to study some knitting skills, was interrupted in her train of thought and was called to the village committee by the sound of a loud trumpet.
What Fang Xiaoyue didn't expect was that it was the dark man from the purchasing department of the supply and marketing cooperative who found Kuixing Village.
"Hello, Comrade Fang, let's get to know each other again. My name is Niu Deshui, director of the purchasing department of the supply and marketing cooperative."
With a kind smile on Niu Deshui's face, he shook hands with Fang Xiaoyue.
"Hello, Director Niu, I wonder why you came here this time?"
Fang Xiaoyue's mind was spinning, guessing the other party's intention.
Maybe it was his little painting that caused some fluctuations?
"Comrade Fang, the main reason for coming here this time is this..."
Niu Deshui also spoke directly, without any secrets, and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
It turned out that after the purchase of the straw woven goods, they were transferred to the Huangliang County Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and then from the county supply and marketing cooperative to the Baimi City Supply and Marketing Cooperative above.
Generally speaking, when those straw woven products arrive in the city, they will be redistributed to counties that lack straw woven products for sale.
But Fang Xiaoyue's small painting and other ornaments and pendants were really woven too delicately, so they were handed over to the provincial capital of Dahe Province.
The leaders of the Provincial Capital Supply and Marketing Cooperative had a very artistic vision and immediately saw the value of these straw wovens, so they sent this batch of straw woven to the Capital Supply and Marketing Cooperative through their own connections.
After this batch of straw weaving was delivered to the capital, because it was indeed beautifully woven, it was sent directly to foreign shops and sold to foreign friends as one of Xia's specialties.
The foreign store is one of the characteristics of this era. It is only open to foreign friends, and the price is a unique foreign exchange coupon.
After all, the foreign currency brought into the country by foreign friends cannot be circulated directly, so it needs to be converted into foreign exchange coupons and purchased in designated foreign stores.
Of course, if the foreign exchange coupons are not used up, they can be converted into corresponding foreign currencies and taken away when leaving the country.
To put it bluntly, this foreign store was a window used to earn foreign exchange due to insufficient foreign exchange reserves at that time.
What the relevant leaders of the Beijing Supply and Marketing Cooperative did not expect was that these straw woven handicrafts were sold out in just two days, and the manager of the foreign store also reported that many foreign friends wanted to buy such straw woven handicrafts.
These days, being able to earn foreign exchange is a matter of skill and merit!
So the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative in the capital city immediately informed the leaders of the supply and marketing cooperative in the provincial capital here: One thousand more straw woven crafts from last time!
The leaders of the provincial supply and marketing cooperative here felt a little surprised. To be honest, at this time, the artistry of works such as straw weaving has not yet been recognized.
To put it bluntly, most people feel that no matter how beautiful something made of straw is, it is just made of a bunch of straw and has little value.
However, the capital's demand for rapid supply still aroused the provincial capital's supply and marketing cooperatives to attach great importance to it.
