Lan Guoping only said half of what he said, but Wu Zixian already understood. As a child from a poor family, he is very sensitive to issues involving money.
He said: "If you have extra food stamps, you can exchange them for them."
"Is it okay to exchange for food stamps?" Lan Guoping's eyes lit up and she suddenly felt relaxed.
Lan Guoping's family is not bad, but the living expenses provided by her family are also considerable. She wants to buy two pairs of stockings to match her skirt. According to Wu Zixian's price, it will cost one yuan and two cents. Of course she can afford the money, but
This means that you need to save money elsewhere. For example, a book you have always wanted to buy may not be available.
But Wu Zixian said that he could exchange it with food stamps, so for Lan Guoping, there was no pressure.
The state provides food subsidies to college students. A girl's monthly ration is 32 kilograms of food, which is 8 kilograms more than the average urban resident. Most girls don't actually eat much. 20 kilograms of food a month is enough.
You can save a lot of food stamps.
Every student knows the value of food stamps. But most of the time, people don't sell the food stamps, but just keep them in their hands. Over time, they save a lot.
Now that I heard that you can exchange food stamps for socks, Lan Guoping was of course very happy.
"How many kilograms of food stamps are needed for a pair of socks?" Lan Guoping asked.
Wu Zixian said: "For Beijing food stamps, it is five jins; if it is national food stamps, it only costs four jins."
"I don't have national food stamps, only Beijing food stamps. I'll give you ten pounds in exchange for two pairs of socks." Lan Guoping said, took out the key, opened her own drawer, and started looking for food stamps.
"Hey, junior brother, can you give me eight pounds of Beijing food stamps for two pairs of socks at a cheaper price?" Sun Yao was making noises from the side.
She was also tempted when she heard that she could use food stamps to exchange for them. After all, stockings were considered essential equipment for beauty-loving girls. If she didn't need to spend money to buy them and only needed to use food stamps to exchange for them, she could consider it.
Wu Zixian gave her an apologetic look and said, "I'm sorry, classmate, there's really no way to lower the price. In fact, the price difference I earn is very small. I can only earn a pound of food stamps for each pair of socks."
"Yao Yao, please don't embarrass me." Lan Guoping said.
She knew something about the prices of stockings in the store and knew that the price offered by Wu Zixian was really not high, so it would not be appropriate to haggle.
"Okay, okay, I was just joking with my junior brother." Sun Yao giggled, opened her drawer, found ten kilograms of food stamps and handed them to Wu Zixian.
Wu Zixian carefully collected the food stamps, took out the socks he brought, spread them out on the table, and let the two girls choose. The socks were of the same style, but there were several colors.
All the girls have difficulty choosing. This choice lasted nearly ten minutes, and the two of them were making gestures on their long legs while picking. Wu Zixian could only look at his nose and nose, and silently recited the periodic table of elements.
, sweat dripped from the top of his forehead.
Little did he know that these two cheap senior sisters were deliberately teasing him and wanting to see him embarrassed.
"Okay, we've chosen."
With great difficulty, the two girls picked out their socks, but instead of leaving with Wu Zixian, they dragged Wu Zixian to chat about household matters.
Sun Yao asked Wu Zixian:
"By the way, junior brother, what's your name?"
"This..." Wu Zixian hesitated, not knowing whether he should tell the other party.
Sun Yaoqiao was stunned and said: "Why, didn't you say you are from the Chemistry Department of Peking University? If there is a problem with the quality of the socks and we want to go to you to replace them, how should we contact you?"
"The quality of the socks is definitely no problem." Wu Zixian said quickly.
When the other party talked to this extent, he had to say his name. He said: "My name is Wu Zixian. I live in Dormitory 449, Building 31, Peking University. Look, this is my student ID. I will definitely not run away."
It fell."
"Wu Zixian..., this name is very elegant. Didn't you say that your family comes from the countryside?" Sun Yao asked.
"I really come from the countryside, from the mountains over Liu'an." Wu Zixian said, "There is also an old man who went to a private school in our village. When my family named me, it was the old man who helped me."
"Liu An, it's so far away. I've never been there. Pingping, have you been there?" Sun Yao asked Lan Guoping.
Lan Guoping rolled her eyes at Sun Yao and said, "Okay, okay, Yaoyao, stop teasing me, she is still a new student. By the way, Junior Brother Wu, are you planning to sell these socks to us?"
"
"Yes." Wu Zixian said calmly, "Otherwise, if you have nothing else to do here, I will go to another dormitory."
He had already been defeated by these two girls. Their aura was too strong for him, a freshman, to handle.
"You wait here, I'll go ask for you." Lan Guoping said, and without waiting for Wu Zixian's consent, he went out and knocked on the door of the dormitory next door.
"I..." Wu Zixian was a little at a loss for a moment.
Sun Yao smiled and waved her hand and said: "Just sit down, Pingping is very popular at our level, asking her to help you ask questions is much better than knocking on the door in each dormitory.
"By the way, do you want some water? I'll pour you some."
"No, no, thank you, classmate." Wu Zixian said.
I don’t know how Lan Guoping promoted it. After a while, more than a dozen girls came and crowded her dormitory. Wu Zixian put all the socks he brought on the table for everyone to choose from, and was nervous at the same time.
He stared at everyone carefully, for fear that someone would take advantage of the chaos and "take advantage of" one or two pairs.
However, he soon discovered that he had been overly cautious. Lan Guoping and Sun Yao took the initiative to work as salesmen for him, delivering goods, collecting money and food stamps, without him even having to do anything.
After more than ten minutes of chaos, the 40 pairs of socks Wu Zixian brought were sold out, and his pocket also contained 3 yuan in cash, 140 kilograms of Beijing food stamps and 28 kilograms of national food stamps.
"Thank you, thank you two classmates." Wu Zixian thanked them sincerely.
If he was allowed to sell these socks door to door by himself, he could certainly sell these socks, but it would definitely take longer. Lan Guoping and the others actually used their own experience to act as shills for him.
He was able to sell out the socks so quickly.
From this point of view, he really needs to express his gratitude to the two of them.
"Junior Brother Wu, you are not interesting enough. We have helped you so much, but you are not even willing to call us Senior Sister?" Sun Yao said in a long voice.
"Thank you two senior sisters." Wu Zixian quickly changed his words.
It's not an embarrassing thing to call someone "senior sister" in school.
"That's right." Sun Yao said proudly, "Junior Brother Wu, you can go back. If you have anything to sell in the future, come to us first. Remember, my name is Sun Yao and her name is Lan Guoping.
We are in the Chinese Department of Class 81 here.”
Wu Zixian bowed to the two of them and thanked them, then left as if running away.
***The author has something to say***
I have been busy recording lessons in the past two days. I would like to recommend a book to everyone, "Into the Unscientific" by "Beginner Fishermen". It is a mix of science and unscientific. It is a very interesting book. The author is also a veteran of Chengzi.
