Chapter 83 Fatty Gu is here

"Luo Xuan, do you see how many good things I brought to you?"

The man raised his hand.

I saw that he was holding a bunch of small turtles in his left hand and three old turtles in his right hand.

Luo Xuan stepped forward, took the turtles in his hand and counted them. There were 7 small turtles in total, and 3 old turtles weighing more than 2 catties.

The remaining old turtle looked like it weighed less than 3 catties, but it was not much worse.

Luo Xuan said: "Uncle, I don't have so much money on hand now."

Hearing this, the man's smile condensed slightly on his face, and then he showed his face again: "That's okay, you can give me money whenever you have money."

Luo Xuan shook his head.

He opened his mouth and said, "Uncle, you also know that I use these soft-shelled turtles to treat myself. But now I don't have so much money on hand. Do you think this will work? I'll replace it with vermicelli for you?"

The man pondered: "Use vermicelli to cover the bill? That's okay. But, how much will you give me per catty?"

"1 cents per catty, uncle, what do you think?"

"The vermicelli is only 2 cents per catty? Then you are at a disadvantage?"

The man was taken aback: "Besides, according to the big old turtle, it costs 5 yuan a piece. If you are a fellow in the village, we can't let you earn nothing. Let's count it as 4 yuan and 5 pieces for you. Then you have so many Give me the vermicelli?"

Luo Xuan nodded, "Yes, don't worry. In a few days, I will have the vermicelli delivered to you."

In the countryside, vermicelli can be regarded as a hard currency.

Its status is second only to rare items such as white sugar and brown sugar, and it is not as expensive as grains such as rice.

However, the importance of vermicelli is far higher than that of dried sweet potatoes, broad beans, and soybeans.

any era.

As long as people are alive, there will inevitably be human exchanges.

If you can bring a small bag of white sugar or brown sugar when you go out to visit relatives, it will be a very face-saving thing.

Whoever gave a decent gift could speak louder in front of relatives and friends.

It is good to give white sugar and brown sugar, but the vast majority of members do not have the ability to get sugar tickets.

Therefore, the next best thing is to take a bundle of vermicelli to visit relatives, it is quite a hand-covering gift.

——You can’t take a small bag of rice, or soybeans or broad beans to visit relatives, right?

Therefore, men are willing to accept vermicelli as the top bill, it just depends on whether the price is suitable or not.

The man originally thought that Luo Xuan would pay him in cash, but now that he heard that Luo Xuan paid him 2 cents per catty, and he paid him with vermicelli, it was a good deal.

So the man agreed to this barter deal without even thinking about it.

For business transactions, the two accounts are calculated separately.

The man thought he was a good deal, while Luo Xuan felt that he was a better deal.

The 7 small turtles I collected this time were a bit expensive, so I paid him 3 yuan in the end.

And the two largest turtles are worth 2 yuan and 4 yuan each; the slightly smaller ones are only worth 5 yuan.

In this way, this batch of soft-shelled turtles will cost me a total of 15 yuan!

It doesn't sound like much, but Luo Xuan has to use 75 catties of vermicelli to pay for it!
This time, the three brothers of the Zhou family went to buy 50 catties of starch for themselves.

Add a little alum to the starch, and then calculate the water content, this batch of starch can finally make about 55 catties of vermicelli.

Not enough to top the bill.

It seems that when I go to Hongxing Township tomorrow, I have to buy some more starch.

Going to start making noodles now.

Luo Xuan ran to Mrs. Zhang's house and the third sister-in-law's house, asking them to come over in the afternoon to help him with half-day work.

Then Luo Xuan returned home and started to build a shelf for drying vermicelli.

Been busy for a while.

The third sister-in-law and Aunt Zhang also came to help. With the help of their two skilled workers, the bamboo frame was built very quickly.

It's just that the weather was a bit hot, which made the three of them sweat profusely and drenched in sweat.

Not long after, the three people who had built a part of the shelf were resting under the eaves.

The third sister-in-law saw it, pointed to the three figures in the distance and said, "Aren't those the three brothers of the Zhou family? Why do they keep running towards you, Luo Xuan? You have to be on guard against them."

Aunt Zhang also echoed: "Yes, these three sticklers have a bit of a twist in their hands and feet, you should be more careful."

Luo Xuan smiled, "Don't worry, Aunt Zhang and Third Sister-in-law, it's okay, they won't steal my things. Besides, all the food in my house is stored in your house, Aunt Zhang, so they can't steal anything."

Aunt Zhang heard the words, and asked, "Luo Xuan, when you separated, you took away some of the fine grains, and only a few catties of coarse grains. For a while, your grain should be about the same. right?"

Luo Xuan smiled slightly: "Aunt Zhang, I will find a way to solve my rations myself. I will store the food in your house first. If your house is short of food, just embezzle it first, and don't need to say hello to me." .”

Aunt Zhang and the third sister-in-law know that Luo Xuan is diligent, and by selling some eels and the like, they can get some living expenses and pocket money back.

Luo Xuan now has enough food for one person and the whole family is not hungry, and the demand for food is not particularly large.

So Mrs. Zhang didn't ask any more questions.

And the reason why Aunt Zhang and the third sister-in-law said that about the three brothers of the Zhou family just now is because the reputation of the Zhou family is very, very bad in the production team.

At this time, seeing that Luo Xuan was not worried about the three brothers of the Zhou family, Aunt Zhang and the third sister-in-law felt relieved.

Speechless for a while.

When the three brothers walked into the yard, they unloaded the starch and the large iron pot from the cart.

See this situation.

Aunt Zhang and the third sister-in-law smiled at Luo Xuan, which meant: Luo Xuan, you can do it!It can actually cause these three guys to run errands for you.

Iron pot, starch, and a little bit of alum were bought back.

The third sister-in-law was busy using small stones to polish the iron sand on the big iron pot and the sharp edge of the pot to prevent cutting her hands.

Aunt Zhang was busy kneading starch in buckets and large casserole and adding alum to them.

Boss Zhou wiped the sweat off his brow, ran over to Luo Xuan and said, "Luo Xuan, when I went to buy pea cakes at the catering service agency, a fat man asked which production team I belonged to?
I told him that I am from the 6th Production Team of Zhengxing Brigade.

He asked me to bring you a sentence, telling you that if you have a 'wearing hat' on hand in the afternoon, you can take some for him, he is in a hurry! "

In fact, Fatty Gu could guess which production team these three guys were from, whether he asked Boss Zhou or not.

On that trolley, the words "Zhengxing 6 Production Team" were clearly written in red paint!

Zhou Laoer asked: "Luo Xuan, what is wearing a hat?"

Luo Xuan glared at him, "Stop asking these questions! Look at the chicks you raised for me, two of them died."

Among the chickens in the yard, two chickens were mentally depressed and probably could not be raised. The three brothers had known for a long time.

Hearing what Luo Xuan said, the three brothers couldn't take credit for Luo Xuan anymore, so they hurried out to find firewood for Luo Xuan to boil water to make vermicelli.

The three brothers of the Zhou family are counting on their hard work, so that when the vermicelli is ready, they can get some water vermicelli to eat back.

The sweet potato vermicelli that has just been made tastes more delicious. It tastes much better than dry vermicelli if you cook it like noodles.

Hearing that Fatty Gu was looking for him, Luo Xuan greeted Mrs. Zhang and the third sister-in-law who were busy in the kitchen, then stared at the scorching sun and hurried to Hongxing Township.

Fatty Gu is very important to him.

This was the first time he took the initiative to come to him, and Luo Xuan had to let Fatty Gu maintain confidence in him.
