These days, food is sold and bought secretly, but there is even a service like delivering it to your door
Mei Xiaoran's proposal made the man happy, "Can you still help send home? Then you will have to trouble the big brother."
The girl said so, what could Mei Zhonghua refuse? Anyway, all the flour he brought out was sold, and there was no flour to sell the rest of the grain. Flour was the most precious grain that year, followed by rice, millet and corn flour. The most important thing to pour out the grain is to pour the flour. The others are matched, and few people buy it.
Mei Zhonghua was pushing a shelf cart, and together with her daughter, delivered the grain to the family yard of the geological team... It turned out that this person belonged to the geological team.
The geological team is the best unit in the local area. The local government has no right to interfere. It is managed in a unified manner by the Ministry, and the treatment and benefits are so good that it is nothing to say. It's no wonder that this person can buy fifty catties of flour in one go. If you switch to an ordinary worker, you will have to weigh and weigh ten catties of flour.
"Uncle, let my dad help you upstairs, where do you live?"
At that time, the workers of the Hou Geological Team lived in Tongzilou, door to door, and they had to walk through a long corridor to send fifty catties of noodles upstairs. Mei Zhonghua was originally from a rural area, and he didn't hesitate to spare no effort, but he didn't understand, so good, why is the girl so enthusiastic
As soon as Mei Zhonghua helped that person move fifty catties of noodles into the house, he heard someone asking in Southern Mandarin, "Brother Zhang, where do you get the flour? If there is a way, don't say a word?"
It turned out that the person who bought the flour was called Zhang Liang.
Zhang Liang's face blushed, and he whispered, "What's the way, I just ran into it on the street. When people saw that I bought a lot, they helped send it back."
"There is such a good thing?"
The young man seemed very excited to interrogate, and went straight over Zhang Liang to strike up a conversation with Mei Zhonghua, "Comrade, my name is Li Hui, and Zhang Liang is a colleague. Can you tell me anything else?"
Mei Zhonghua was a little guilty and didn't dare to say anything. Mei Xiaoran immediately smiled and asked, "Uncle Li, where are you from? It's different from us."
The geological team is not an ordinary unit. The employees come from all corners of the country. Although there are locals, in fact, most of them are from other places.
Li Hui, who speaks Mandarin, is from the south of the Yangtze River. He is a Jiangnan native who was assigned to work in Kangping County, Central Plains Province. Nothing else is said, just that he is not used to eating... People from Jiangnan like to eat rice.
However, the local wheat, which is rich in rice, is unpalatable all year round. This is what makes Li Hui the most uncomfortable, so he dare to come up and ask.
Mei Xiaoran understood immediately.
"Uncle Li, my dad also brought some rice and cornmeal. I wonder if you would want it?"
Li Hui's eyes brightened when he heard it, and he continued to say, "This is great, I want all the rice you brought!"
Mei Zhonghua was dumbfounded. He didn't expect to be able to do business like this. What's the difference between this and the door-to-door delivery
There was a hint of cunning in Mei Xiaoran's eyes, and she smiled, "Uncle Li, my brother and I have both passed the junior high school entrance examination. My dad is the food that we have worked so hard to get for our tuition. I will bring it today. I have ten catties of rice. If you want it, next time I ask my dad to get more rice and send it to you."
Li Hui was very happy, "Then put it this way, save the ten catties of rice today, and send it back next time."
"But... there are ten catties of cornmeal!"
Mei Xiaoran showed an embarrassed expression, as if a little sad, "My dad and I have to go out and sell cornmeal to make up for the tuition..." Suddenly raised his head, his bright eyes stared at Li Hui, "Uncle Li, or else Leave these ten catties of cornmeal as well, just as helping us."
After all, Li Hui was still not worth ten catties of rice. He left ten catties of cornmeal, but he repeatedly told Mei Zhonghua that he had rice to send here. Many colleagues wanted to eat rice crazy!
Walking out of the family yard of the geological team, Mei Zhonghua, who was pulling the empty cart, was so happy.
Ten catties of rice made 70 cents, ten catties of cornmeal earned 30 cents, plus the three dollars earned from selling flour, and this trip has made four dollars, which is comparable to his usual two or three episodes. Earn a lot!
When he recollected his taste, he asked Mei Xiaoran curiously, "Daughter, how did you think of letting Dad give the flour to someone home?"
"Dad, you also see that uncle is dressed and dressed. He seems to be a worker with good conditions. He can buy 50 catties of flour in one go, which shows that he has this financial strength. I will ask you to help him deliver the noodles home. If we want to explore the way, see which unit he works in. If it is a good unit, someone will definitely want it. If we can figure out this way, we don’t have to be frightened to sell things on the black market in the future. Sent to someone
Go, save trouble. "
Mei Zhonghua squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "Girl, did you think the same way when you asked me to give people a penny?"
"Of course, it's a penny cheaper. On the surface, we made less, but we sold out everything, and overall we didn't make less."
Mei Zhonghua immediately slapped her thigh with joy, "Okay, my daughter is too clever, but she's not stupid at all. Learning is really nothing in vain. Don't worry, dad will eat chaff and throat vegetables from now on and have to provide for you to go to school. "
"Dad, don't think about the future so badly. The policy is getting better day by day, and we will have a good time in the future."
Mei Xiaoran said, peeling off the fruit candy he bought, and stuffing one into his father's mouth, "Dad, try it, this candy is sweet."
"You eat it yourself. Dad doesn't like sugar."
Mei Zhonghua doesn't like sweets, but he is obviously reluctant. The life in the past few years is a little better than in previous years. I can barely get enough food, but it is not so easy for the children to eat candy often!
He didn't know that this fruit candy really didn't have much appeal to Mei Xiaoran.
Later, the variety of toffee, chocolate, biscuits, snacks and snacks made the number of people uncountable, and it made people tired of eating. These few fruit candies really didn't make Mei Xiaoran's eyes. However, seeing her father so pleased, she also secretly made up her mind to help her parents earn money in the future, and no longer let others look down upon.
The parents of the previous life were just poor people living in the county town for their entire lives. They usually lived by selling small things. They didn't make a lot of money in their entire lives, and their lives were tight. If she wants to change the fate of her previous life, Mei Xiaoran will naturally start from now on, let her parents change their minds, and strive to let them live a prosperous life as soon as possible.
Because Mei Zhonghua was very happy selling food today, and the two children were admitted to junior high school, he cut two catties of meat when he was happy, and planned to burn it for the children at noon.
It was almost noon when he got home, and Li Mingyun hadn't come back. Just as Mei Xiaoran wanted to cook, he was stopped by his father, "Ran Ran, let my dad show you his hand today. Go and rest."
When Li Mingyun returned home, the smell of meat in the kitchen filled the yard. Mei Zhonghua happily brought out the food, “Mingyun, wash your hands and eat, let’s have braised pork today at noon.”
