Best Mom in the 60s

Chapter 142

The autumn fair is located in a new location, so the venue is much more spacious. The first floor is for personal care products and cosmetics, the second floor is for furniture and home decorations, the third floor is for weaving and rattan and iron crafts, the fourth floor is for watches and glasses, the fifth floor is for daily ceramics and craft ceramics, the sixth floor is for glass crafts and kitchenware, the seventh floor is for toys and holiday items, and the eighth floor is for gifts, premiums and holiday items.

Their exhibition this time is on the third floor.

This time, not only their Wangjia Village production team was weaving bamboo baskets, but other factories were also making them.

The products are very similar to what they had compiled before. Chinese people love to gather together and imitate.

Qian Shulan had anticipated this, but this time she had specially added some new things.

She asked Xiang Hongjun to help her order some fabric from the textile factory. She combined the printed fabric with the rattan basket, which made it look better and easier to clean.

In order to sell it at a high price, Qian Shulan even asked the people brought by Xiang Hongjun to help her embroider some new patterns on the plain cloth. Basically, it was a set, which looked very beautiful.

Xiang Hongjun didn't expect that she could bring them new business. If this kind of basket weaving was successful, their factory would also benefit from it and their efficiency would be greatly improved.

This time, Qian Shulan did not decorate the exhibition hall like a home, but rather like a garden.

The innermost walls of the exhibition hall are covered with rattans crisscrossed in a regular pattern, with wild flowers inserted in the gaps between the rattans. The surrounding flowers are all pink, with only the three words "Zhu Yi Xuan" in yellow, which looks particularly eye-catching.

As for the lighting this time, Qian Shulan hung three chandeliers of different styles directly above her head, which made the display very clear.

In the middle of the exhibition hall are three round tables the size of steps, with round bamboo baskets stacked from large to small in the middle, and a bunch of flowers in the top basket.

The round table below was decorated with various exhibits.

There are storage baskets, fruit baskets, flower baskets, bamboo baskets, bamboo dustpans, rattan basket thermos, bamboo vases, and bamboo baskets.

Because everything is spaced out a certain distance apart, and there are three stepped booths for display, it looks very neat.

The three round tables are separated by a screen and a set of rattan sofas are placed there, with futons used as sofa cushions.

There are flower baskets filled with brightly colored fruits on the coffee table.

Next to the sofa are storage boxes, shoe cabinets, and rattan baskets.

This time, with Zhang Zhaodi helping her, it only took her one day to complete the arrangement.

Qian Shulan took advantage of her free time to start her sales plan again.

According to the previous record, she ran to the new family quarters again. This time the price was not very cheap.

She didn't want to make money from the famine, but after selling it a few times, she found that she had set the price too low. The first reaction of the buyers was not that they were getting a bargain, but that her products were fake. Some put them under their noses to smell, some put them in their mouths to bite, and some changed the sacks and poured them into other sacks little by little. In short, there were all kinds of verification methods, which delayed her a lot of time. It would be dangerous if the transaction took too long.

In order to save time and avoid trouble, Qian Shulan directly priced corn flour at one yuan per catty and rice at one yuan and fifty yuan per catty.

Although it was still a bit cheaper than the black market, this price was already the highest she could offer.

If the price is set too high, she will feel guilty.

If the other party has gold, silver, jewelry, etc., Qian Shulan will give them some appropriate discounts.

Today, Qian Shulan just turned a corner and came out of the family quarters.

Thinking that the city hadn't distributed food for several months, wouldn't the countryside be even worse off? She suddenly had the urge to go to the countryside to take a look.

So she took a 20-kilogram bag of rice from the space and walked while waiting. Finally, she met a fellow villager driving a donkey cart to the countryside, and she waved to get a ride.

The old man was a very honest man. Seeing that it would take a lot of time for an old lady like her to walk back, he agreed.

The two began to chat along the way.

"Big sister, where are you going?"

Qian Shulan had no destination. She just wanted to visit the countryside of Guangzhou. But she couldn't say she was just visiting, right? She suddenly thought of a fruit her classmates had brought to them. Dragon fruit, which is unique to Guangzhou.

It tastes really good. She has been traveling here for so long and has rarely eaten fruit.

Come and relive the taste of it this time!

"Brother, do you know where I can find dragon fruit?"

The old man turned around and glanced at her, surprised, "Aren't you here to visit relatives?"

Qian Shulan smiled and said, "My granddaughter is craving for dragon fruit, so I came here to look for some."

The old man smiled cheerfully, "If you want dragon fruit, then go to our production team. Our production team has a mountain, and dragon fruit is planted on the mountain."

Qian Shulan chatted with him and took the opportunity to ask about the situation in the countryside.

She asked tentatively, "Brother, how is your production team doing now? Can we have enough food? We haven't received any rations in the city for several months."

Although the old man was skinny, he had a smile on his face and his beard trembled. "Our production team is close to the mountain. There are all kinds of wild vegetables and fruits there. We will never starve to death."

Qian Shulan couldn't help but feel fortunate that this place was not yet dry, so there were still many things to pick in the mountains.

What if a drought comes

Qian Shulan suddenly became alert, and the smile on her face disappeared. She reminded him, "Our place is great! I have a relative who lives in Liuguan County. I heard that drought has begun there, so she wrote to me and asked me to store more food. I listened to her and asked someone to help me buy some food. I hope there won't be any drought here."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Liuguan County is thousands of miles away from here. Sister, you don't have to worry."

Not worried? How could she not worry? The next year will be the peak of the famine. Qian Shulan rubbed her eyes and emphasized again, "If it was just Liuguan County, I really wouldn't have to worry, but I heard that Heilongjiang and Jilin are also experiencing drought."

This is not nonsense. This year, soybeans from Heilongjiang did not come to the exhibition at all because of the drought there and the crops were completely destroyed.

The slap was directly slapped into the mud by the heavens. They had no way to falsify the per-acre yield this time. 1 can be falsified to 10, but 0 can never become 1. I heard that those cadres were labeled as bad elements because they told the truth and did not falsify the per-acre yield. Qian Shulan did not sympathize with them at all. They did not falsify the yield this time, but they reported it so high before. They deserved to be overthrown.

"Brother, I think we should think more about ourselves. If there is a drought here, we will starve as well." She moved her body and got behind him, whispering, "I went to the black market to buy rice yesterday, and the price has risen to three yuan per pound."

As soon as these words came out, the old man was shocked. As a person who never went to the black market to buy food, he really didn't know that the price of food had risen to such a level.

Because he was too excited, his whip missed and hit the donkey's eye. The donkey kicked up its two hooves in pain and began to roar with its neck tilted back.

Qian Shulan quickly held onto the side of the car to steady herself.

The old man hurriedly stroked the donkey's fur to calm it down, and soon the donkey calmed down. The old man was worried that the old lady would be kicked down. With her old arms and legs, it would be a disaster if she fell. "Big sister, how are you?"

"I'm fine! I'm fine!" Qian Shulan rubbed her waist and replied with a grin. Damn it! Because the donkey went crazy too suddenly, her waist hit the crossbar on the side of the car. It must have been scratched.

The old man suddenly said, "You are right, we should make preparations for both situations."

The old man took Qian Shulan to their production team and applied directly to the team for permission to take the dragon fruit.

Qian Shulan took out the rice she had brought and exchanged it with them.

Although these people grew rice, the rations allocated to them were all sweet potatoes. Everyone was very happy when they suddenly saw twenty kilograms of rice.

"It's from the mountains, not worth much, if you like it, just buy more!"

So he filled a sack for her.

Qian Shulan waved her hand and declined, "No, you guys need to eat too! It's better to save some food! As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, you won't be worried!"

The captain wanted to store more food, but everyone was not rich and could not afford expensive food. There were only a limited number of wild animals in the mountains, and they were not staple food. They could only provide for food and clothing. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "There is really no other way!"

Qian Shulan also thought of it. Without money and food, there is no way out! She thought for a while and said, "I still have some food at home. Why don't you exchange your dragon fruit with me?"

The captain was a little worried, "Auntie, can you finish all the dragon fruits you brought? They will go bad easily in the hot weather."

Others worry about this problem, but Qian Shulan is not worried. "I don't eat it myself. I ask others to help me exchange food."

The captain nodded, "Okay! As long as Auntie is useful!"

So the two agreed on a time to exchange food.

Qian Shulan returned to the city with her sack of dragon fruit.

When Qian Shulan came back, she saw that Wang Shouquan had also come.

It seems that he came here as soon as he sent the telegram.

To be honest, we can't do without him here.

When she arrived at the China Foreign Trade Center, her signature as an acting brigade secretary was not valid. She had to use the seal of their production brigade.

Qian Shulan shared the dragon fruit she brought with everyone. It was the first time for everyone to eat this kind of fruit, and it tasted really good.

"I went to the countryside to look for decoration materials and exchanged them with the members."

Everyone said it would be nice if they could bring this fruit back home for their families to try!

Qian Shulan smiled and said, "Our fruit is pretty good. I wonder if Li Shirong wants some?"

"It's so delicious, you should have it! But it's unlikely that they'll sell it at a high price!"

Qian Shulan remembered that her classmates seemed to have told her that they made their fortune by eating dragon fruit. But now people still don't know that dragon fruit is very nutritious, they just think it is a delicious fruit.

But she was not very familiar with this kind of fruit. It seemed that these were all wild in the mountains, so the quantity was destined not to be very large, probably only a few thousand kilograms! How could she sell it at a high price

Qian Shulan felt that she needed to think about it.

As soon as she came back, Wang Shouquan started another meeting and handed the money he brought to the accountant Wang Ligui on the spot.

"Those people came with money to buy, so I had to sell it! I had no choice but to sell it! Otherwise, they wouldn't send the truck at all. But the price is still the price we paid, so we didn't lose money. In addition, we also paid for the truck."

Qian Shulan nodded and said nothing. Wang Ligui did the math, "So you went through all this trouble and only brought back 5,000 kilograms of food. On average, each person only brought 5 kilograms. You're all bandits!"

Wang Shouquan snorted, "Who said it wasn't true! If you want food, just make an agreement with Li Shirong. All of you are coming here to rob us. You must be crazy!"

Qian Shulan guessed maliciously, "Everyone reports a yield of 10,000 catties per mu. If they spend money to buy grain from abroad, they will lose face abroad. If they buy from us, at least they can have some cover."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise. They had to say that this reason was really amazing.

This time they decided to use all the money to buy fertilizers, phosphate fertilizers and diesel.
