Anyway, I didn’t say yes. Since Chief Liu misunderstood himself, he can’t blame himself.
"Just tell me if this is the kind of fabric you want!"
"Yes, yes, yes, that's it. I wonder what Mr. Li's request is?"
Hearing Section Chief Liu ask this question, Fangyuan shook his head and said, "I haven't said this yet, but the logistics department of the steel rolling mill should not default on the bill."
"Of course, you go back and tell Mr. Li that no matter what request he has, I will try my best to satisfy him, whether it's money or other things."
"Okay, I'll go back and ask, but don't make this matter public."
"Don't worry! I know what to do."
In fact, Fangyuan's worries are all unnecessary. Section Chief Liu is more careful than him. To put it bluntly, he is afraid that Fangyuan will say nonsense outside.
Fangyuan is not stupid, how could he talk nonsense, but Fangyuan also has a headache now, how could he get those fabrics when he has a headache.
After coming out of the steel rolling mill, Fangyuan forgot all this, because the top priority now was to buy more cannons.
Of course, it would definitely be an unexpected surprise if we could do the steel rolling mill business by the way.
In the afternoon, Fangyuan went to a dozen supply and marketing cooperatives and didn't return to the hotel until it was almost dark.
When Fangyuan came back, Li Weiguo had already returned to the small hotel and was resting in the room.
Seeing Fangyuan coming back, Li Weiguo quickly got up from the bed and said, "Fangyuan, you're back."
"Well! You won't stay in the hotel all the time, right?" Fangyuan asked as Li Weiguo got up from the bed.
"No! I just came back not long ago."
At this time, Fangyuan heard Li Weiguo's stomach growling, raised his head and looked at him and asked: "You didn't eat at noon?"
Fangyuan's words made Li Weiguo embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "I wasn't hungry, so I didn't eat."
This made Fangyuan a little bit dumbfounded. If you don't want to let it go, just don't let it go. You're not hungry yet. In this era, there are a few people who can't even eat a meal without being hungry, including Fangyuan.
Fangyuan's daily life is good enough! But he is still hungry even if he doesn't eat a meal because there is little oil and water.
If you eat a lot of fish and meat every day, you may not feel anything if you don't eat one meal. But now who can eat a lot of fish and meat every day?
Even for those people in the compound, they may not be short of food, but when it comes to eating meat, they are probably not much better than ordinary families.
After all, each person's monthly ration is only that much. Of course, it may be easier for them to get some meat tickets than ordinary people, but it will definitely not be too many.
This can be seen from the last time he came to the city to exchange tickets. He exchanged a lot of other tickets, but there were no meat tickets.
"Let's go, let's go eat first." Fangyuan patted Li Weiguo on the shoulder and said.
Originally, he was going to rest for a while before going to eat, but now he can only change his mind.
There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, the two of them went to have breakfast and then went outside a compound.
This is Fangyuan’s first time here, and it was a good place to visit the afternoon before yesterday.
I heard others say that this is a bureau-level compound. It seems to be the family compound of a bureau under a certain ministry. There are many such compounds in the imperial capital.
Fangyuan's schoolbag is packed with stuff, and even Li Weiguo is carrying a big bag, which Fangyuan made himself overnight.
There is no requirement to be good-looking, as long as it is strong enough to hold things. Of course, he wants to ask for good-looking, but unfortunately he can’t do it well!
Fangyuan is an idiot when it comes to tailoring, but you can't blame him, because in his previous life, there were still a few people in the city wearing patched clothes!
Usually, the most you can do is to sew a button if it falls off. Even if there is a seam, you have to take it to a place that specializes in clothing repair.
"This is it!" Fang Yuan said, pointing to an open space.
It’s not long before the Chinese New Year, and schools are already on holiday.
Well, the best business now is firecrackers, so Fangyuan is here to sell firecrackers, or to be precise, to exchange firecrackers.
In this day and age, children from ordinary families would be very happy if they had just a few cents in their hands, and the children in these compounds are not much different.
Even if they are better than the children of ordinary families, they are not much better, because adults are the same and will not give too much money to children.
It's just that during the Chinese New Year, you give more New Year's money, but the real purpose of the New Year's money is to give it to you as a gift, and it will basically be taken away by your parents for various reasons the next day.
Why are you still young? Ask your mother to save it for you and give it to you when you grow up.
Why can't a child take so much money and ask his mother to put it away for you first and then give it to you when you use it?
Anyway, there are so many reasons. As long as you hand them over, I’ll basically say goodbye to you.
So the children in these courtyards usually don’t have much money in their hands. It doesn’t matter if they don’t have money! Fangyuan doesn’t want money in the first place, he wants all kinds of tickets.
Fangyuan first took out a piece of plastic sheet and spread it on the snow. There was nothing he could do, it was a cannon! It would be troublesome if it got wet.
Then he took out a plate of marlezi from his schoolbag, and put a dozen or so whips with a hundred ring on it.
And Li Weiguo was standing behind Fangyuan, carrying a big cloth bag. There was no way, there was snow on the ground, and if the cloth bag was placed on the ground, it would probably get wet soon.
Fortunately, this thing is nothing to Li Weiguo.
But when he stood there, he felt like a bodyguard from Fangyuan.
Fangyuan was dressed in olive green, which in itself was a form of protection, while Li Weiguo was dressed in blue, and those who didn't know better thought he was from a certain compound.
As soon as Fangyuan set up the things, someone came over. The main reason is that firecrackers are too attractive, especially for children.
"Are you selling it?"
An eleven or twelve year old boy glanced at Li Weiguo who was standing behind Fangyuan and asked Fangyuan.
"That's right!" Fang Yuan nodded.
"How to sell?"
"One pound of food stamps has four marlezi. If you don't want marlezi, you can choose a firecracker."
Mare seeds cost 5 cents each, and firecrackers with 100 rings cost 21 cents. The prices are about the same.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In fact, Fangyuan's price is considered a conscientious price, because the price he gave is the actual price of food stamps. It's just that there is too little food now, so the price of food stamps is so inflated.
"Food stamps? Aren't you selling them for money?"
"Do you have money?" Fangyuan looked at the boy and asked.
"Uh!" The boy touched his nose awkwardly. Fangyuan's words hurt his self-esteem too much, but he had no way to refute because he really had no money.
With one person, there were two people. Just when the boy didn't know what to say, several more children gathered around.
"Is this selling cannons? There are so many." A boy looked at it and said.
"He's not selling it, he's exchanging it for food stamps," said the boy who asked Fangyuan before.
They all live in the same compound and know each other.
When they heard that food stamps were used in exchange, someone asked: "Do you want just food stamps? Do you want other tickets?"
Fangyuan smiled and said: "Yes, I want any ticket, but it must be calculated based on the value."
"What algorithm?" Another older boy came over and put his arms on the necks of the two boys.
"It depends on what kind of ticket it is. If it's a food stamp, a pound of fine food stamps can be exchanged for four marle seeds or a hundred-ring whip."
Fangyuan repeated what she had just said to the boy. There was a reason for this, because what Fangyuan wanted to exchange for most was food stamps.
"How much does a pound of meat coupons cost?"
"Meat tickets!" Fangyuan thought for a moment and said, "One pound of meat tickets can be exchanged for ten marle seeds."
"Would you like the drinking tickets? I have a lot of drinking tickets at home."
In fact, Fangyuan really doesn't want the drink tickets, because he has no money now, and even if he exchanges the drink tickets, he can't buy drinks.
As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade. He exchanged food stamps and meat stamps to use good steel on the blade.
You must know that no matter what, including money, it must be circulated in order to maximize benefits. It is not the time to spend all the money yet, so it is not the best time to save wine.
After all, you have to save this thing after buying it, which not only takes up funds, but is not very meaningful.
But you have to change it, after all, drinking tickets are a good thing! If it doesn’t work, you can still sell them, but it’s not easy to find a new home.
"Yes, but it depends on the drink ticket." After much deliberation, Fangyuan decided to go for it.
"Okay, just wait, I'll go home and get it."
When one person leaves, there will be two. Soon there will be only a few people left in a large circle, and the remaining few people will not do business with Fangyuan.
Because others left to go home to pick up their tickets, they are still here, either because they don’t want to exchange with Fangyuan, or they don’t know where their tickets are at home.
As for why they say they don’t know where the tickets are at home, instead of saying they don’t have tickets at home, this is very simple, because Fangyuan never thought that people living in such a compound would not have tickets at home.
In just ten minutes, the children who had left before came back one after another, each with a ticket in their hand.
Fangyuan was busy again, not only counting the votes, but also calculating the value of the votes, and also holding cannons.
Fangyuan wanted Li Weiguo to help, but Li Weiguo didn't know how to read and didn't even know what kind of ticket it was.
This is also part of the reason why he didn't eat at noon yesterday.
If he doesn't know how to read or vote, how can he ask him to help? Of course, it can't be said that Li Weiguo can't do anything.
No, when he stood behind Fangyuan, at least no one would come to cause trouble. You know, Li Weiguo is a young man of thirteen or fourteen years old!
"How many cannons can I exchange for these tickets?" A boy handed the tickets to Fangyuan and asked.
Fangyuan took it and looked at it. There was one ticket for Moutai liquor, two tickets for Fenjiu liquor, and there were also twenty kilograms of fine grain stamps.
"These can be exchanged for a plate of marlezi or twenty-five pieces of hanging whip."
"Then I want a plate of mareizi."
"Okay." Fangyuan agreed, turned around and said to Li Weiguo: "Give him a plate of marlezi."
"Oh!" Li Weiguo quickly took out a plate of marlezi from the big cloth bag and handed it over.
ps: Please give me rewards and recommend votes, thank you!
