Chapter 48: Making Money
Niu Xiaoqiang had already calculated, he didn't look at the account book, and nodded directly: "There is no problem with the account, Uncle Gao, can we settle the account?"
Gao Desheng laughed, walked into the store very happily, and walked out with the money without much effort, and handed it to Niu Xiaoqiang, who was eager to wear it, "You can count it." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang got so much money for the first time in his life, and his arms couldn't help but tremble a little. Fortunately, he quickly adjusted and counted carefully as if he was fine.
After the counting, Niu Xiaoqiang put the money in his personal pocket and put it away, and said with a smile: "Uncle Gao, how about we do it tomorrow?"
Gao Desheng couldn't wait for this, he hurriedly nodded: "I didn't say it, as long as you transport the fish over, I will definitely accept it." ”
"Alright, I'll come back tomorrow morning, you get busy first. ”
"Okay, okay, I must come tomorrow. ”
"Don't worry, I said I'd come. ”
After the two exchanged polite words, they said goodbye.
Niu Xiaodong and Niu Xiaoyong came to Niu Xiaoqiang with an excited face, shouting that they wanted to see the harvest with their own eyes. Niu Xiaoqiang waved his hand: "Let's find a secluded place to watch." ”
It didn't take much effort, the three of them stood under a wall like thieves, Niu Xiaoqiang was sure that there was no problem, so he took out the money.
Niu Xiaoyong and Niu Xiaodong almost didn't pop out their eyes when they saw the four big unity, and they applauded vigorously.
Niu Xiaoqiang looked calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was not calm at all, and he thought to himself: See, this is the money I made, a total of forty-six yuan and eight cents! This is still the first harvest, and when the fish in the pond are sold, there will be two or three hundred, right?
Two or three hundred yuan is equivalent to a year's and a half salary for an ordinary worker, which is definitely a huge amount of money for Niu Xiaoqiang, and it is no wonder that he is so excited.
"Brother Qiang, I'm a little hungry after walking such a long way with the fish on my back, why don't I buy a few fritters to fill my stomach." ”
"I agree with this proposal, let's go to the farm to work later, how can we hold on without eating?"
The fritters are only two cents a piece, Niu Xiaoqiang was busy early in the morning, and the food he ate at home had already been digested, he patted his stomach after hearing the words of the two: "I'm also a little hungry, let's go eat something, but I'll say the ugly things in front first, and if you can't see anything later, you can buy anything, at most it can only cost five cents, and any more will not work, understand?"
The two immediately nodded again and again as if chickens were eating rice, Niu Xiaoqiang hummed, and ordered the two of them to put the back basket on their backs and walk to the breakfast shop together.
"Bring me three fritters. ”
"How can three sticks be enough? I can eat it all by myself, Brother Qiang, let's buy more." ”
"That'...... Then let's have two for each person. ”
"That's pretty much it. ”
Originally, food stamps were required to buy fritters, but due to the existence of an arsenal in Aoshan Town, the consumption capacity is very strong, and some business-minded people come to do business, including those who open breakfast shops. Since the flour they used to fry fritters was milled from home-grown wheat, they did not need to go to the grain station to buy the food stamps they collected, so these private breakfast shops could consume without food stamps.
Niu Xiaoqiang spent a dime to buy six fritters, the fritters are very large, one is almost two or two, and the two are absolutely full. But the three of them are at the age of growing their bodies, and they all eat a lot of food, and after they gobbled up two fritters, they still felt that it didn't work, so Niu Xiaoqiang had to buy one more for each of them.
After eating the third fritter, the three of them were slightly satisfied. Niu Xiaoqiang wiped his mouth and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's buy building materials." ”
"Okay. ”
The three of them walked into the supply and marketing cooperatives with a basket with buckets, they were covered with mud, and the salesman immediately sighed when he saw it, and reprimanded him impatiently: "Those three boys, those who are not neatly dressed are strictly forbidden to enter, hurry up and let me out!"
Niu Xiaoqiang held back the fire and walked out with the two of them, as soon as he went out, he couldn't help but scold: "Damn, the mud on our bodies is dry, and it won't stain you here, if it weren't for the fact that you are the only one who sells what I need, I wouldn't be too lazy to be angry!"
Niu Xiaoyong spat on the ground: "When I have money, I must open a small store next door to the supply and marketing cooperative, with their service attitude, Lao Tzu will definitely let them close their doors!"
Niu Xiaodong also looked disgusted: "The last time my mother came here to buy salt, it was also because of the mud on her body that was blasted out by them, my mother almost didn't fight with them, I was not there at the time, if I was there, I would definitely blow up their dog heads! Hmph, let them look down on the peasants!"
Scolding and scolding, the three of them all knew that the supply and marketing cooperatives belonged to the monopoly of goods, and many of the things inside were not sold outside, so they could only bow their heads.
After finding a small pond to wash off the silt on their bodies, the three of them entered the town supply and marketing cooperatives again. Niu Xiaoqiang walked directly to the container selling building materials and reported what he wanted to buy.
While chatting with colleagues, the salesperson slowly picked up the goods, which took more than ten minutes before the goods were ready.
Niu Xiaoqiang didn't bother to urge, he knew what kind of virtue these salesmen were, if you said two words about them, they would definitely be much more vicious than you imagined.
After paying the bill, the three of them carried their things on their backs and walked to the mouth of the alley diagonally opposite the fish shop, waiting for the cow to flower.
It was already ten o'clock in the morning, the scorching sun emitted terrifying heat, the mouth of the alley was relatively closed, and the three of them were sweating profusely after waiting for a long time.
Niu Xiaodong wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Brother Qiang, on such a hot day, should we buy a few popsicles to cool off?"
It cost more than forty-one yuan to buy building materials just now, and Niu Xiaoqiang only has a few yuan left in his hand, he shook his head a little distressed: "Xiaodong, we don't have much money left, I'm afraid it's not good if we spend it indiscriminately." ”
Niu Xiaodong sighed: "Brother Qiang, the cheapest original popsicle is only a penny, and it is only a dime to buy ten, you can't be so stingy, right?"
Niu Xiaoyong helped on the side: "I think Xiaodong is right, popsicles are cheap, and they don't cost a few dollars, besides, we have set a quota of five cents before, and we have only spent less than two cents so far, Brother Qiang, don't be so stingy." ”
Niu Xiaoqiang thought about it, so he took out six cents and handed it to Niu Xiaoyong: "Xiaoyong, you go buy six original popsicles." ”
Niu Xiaoyong happily agreed, and jumped towards the commissary with the money. As soon as he came back with the popsicle he had bought, Niu Huahua ran over sweating profusely.
