006: Big Bone Soup Noodle So Fragrant

"Xiaolan, how do you know how to sell things?"

Liu Fang was holding the money and felt that her daughter was too smart to want it.

Xia Xiaolan asked confidently, "Do you still need to learn this?"

A few people onlookers were weeping and grimacing. This does not need to be learned, then we must have lived to the dog for a lot of age.

After a while, the aunt who bought duck eggs before rushed over with a few people, "It's her, people haven't run away yet!"

Liu Fen turned pale with fright, thinking that something was wrong with the duck eggs. The aunt led her companions to surround Xia Xiaolan, "Is the duck eggs still the same price?"

Xia Xiaolan nodded, "Of course, the more you buy, the cheaper it will be."

The aunt's companions talked about it, and wanted to make Xia Xiaolan cheaper, and then said that wild duck eggs were not as refreshing as eggs, and then they were picky about size. Xia Xiaolan just laughed, she thought the goods were the ones who bought the goods, she just let these people have a good time.

Sure enough, seeing Xia Xiaolan's lack of oil and salt, she always greeted everyone with a smile, and the three people brought by the aunt still divided up the remaining wild duck eggs. 84 eggs, sold to 4 people, all bought 21... Xia Xiaolan had already calculated it, but she wanted to seize the customer's psychology of wanting to take advantage of it.

Of course, all three of them took a fraction of their 1 cent.

I used to pick and choose, and I really paid the money and was very happy.

What Xia Xiaolan miscalculated was that the little wild ducks she brought were not easy to sell. The people living in the city were small and there was no surplus food to feed the ducks, so her wild duck cubs could not be sold.

84 wild duck eggs were sold for 9 yuan and 2 cents. Xia Xiaolan gave the money to Liu Fen, but Liu Fen asked Xia Xiaolan to collect it herself. Xia Xiaolan wanted to walk around the city, looking for opportunities to make money. The one who sells sweet potatoes gathers up:

"Do you want to exchange sweet potatoes for it, you duckling?"

This person is jealous when Xia Xiaolan sells wild duck eggs. There is no place for people in the city to raise them, so he has a place!

Xia Xiaolan really didn't want to eat sweet potatoes. Eating too much of this would make her stomach bloated, but Liu Fen was willing to change it. The yield of sweet potatoes is high, and now is the harvest period. A pound of sweet potatoes may not even be replaced by an egg. Eggs were very expensive in 1983.

Xia Xiaolan thought about it and asked the man to give him an integer of 20 pounds, and he would give him all the 8 little wild ducks.

This person is not happy:

"Change a pound for one, it's a big loss to raise a big and fly away!"

The untamed wild duck will of course fly away. Xia Xiaolan instructed the fellow seriously: "Cut off the feathers on its wings, where does it fly? If you think 20 pounds of sweet potatoes are too much, then I will take it back and raise it myself."

Sweet potatoes are really not worth the price. Ducks can be fed with vegetable leaves, green grass and earthworms, except for the trouble and no food. 8 ducks are raised to the point where they can lay two eggs, at least two cents a day. 3 yuan a month, 36 yuan a year.

Xia Xiaolan settled the bill to the other party, and the fellow did not bargain, and really exchanged 20 pounds of sweet potatoes for the duckling. The mother and daughter put the sweet potatoes in reed baskets and turned around the county seat.

Liu Fen never knew that money could be so easy to earn.

The money for selling wild duck eggs plus 20 catties of sweet potatoes is 10 yuan. Rural people can't earn less than 200 yuan a year by shaving food in the fields, and part of this money has to be spent on seeds and fertilizers. The money that can really be saved is very little... This money, the children of the family have to go to school, and most of all I pray that my family doesn't get seriously ill.

10 yuan a day, 300 yuan a month?

Liu Fen can't figure out how much money she can make in a year.

It's a pity that this wild duck egg is not picked up every day. Liu Fen also felt a little pity for the little duck: "Mom can raise it too. It's a long-term thing to cut the wings and let it lay duck eggs."

Xia Xiaolan was not impatient, she knew that Liu Fen was a real rural woman with little knowledge, and in the 1980s when news and ideas were blocked, people were honest and submissive. If she wanted to take Liu Fen out of Dahe Village in the future, she would have to Slowly let Liu Fen change her mind.

"The duck cubs may not be able to feed, and we can't afford to wait for too long. Of course, it is to replace the food that is currently in short supply. Who knows how many days it will lay eggs when it is raised? It is impossible to lay eggs 365 days a year."

Xia Xiaolan explained carefully, and Liu Fen understood.

The two walked around the county town and bought necessities such as salt, candles and matches at the county town supply and marketing cooperative. When she spends money, Liu Fen feels distressed, but there is nothing at home. The Xia family didn't even let them bring out the bed and quilt... Liu Fen was distressed by the money, and she was a little more courageous: "I'll take out your clothes when I go back."

It's not cold in summer, but if you don't change your clothes or take a bath, you will be spoiled.

Xia Xiaolan originally wanted to buy some refined grains at the grain store, but when she was asked for a grain coupon, she couldn't get it, so she could only buy high-priced grain. Thinking about whether there was anything in that broken house without a lock, Xia Xiaolan bought another iron lock, but didn't buy it. grain.

In 1983, all kinds of "tickets" were gradually cancelled in some areas, and ticket purchases were not so strict. At least in Anqing County, some daily necessities did not need to be purchased with tickets. Of course, food stamps and meat stamps, as well as industrial rolls to buy electrical appliances, are still there.

Xia Xiaolan knows that the faster the society changes, the more business opportunities it will have.

She knew that the time when she could even buy food with food stamps would pass completely, so she would avoid making money from it, and reselling food stamps would be killing herself.

The business opportunities everywhere are information asymmetry, and the society is changing too fast, and many people are ignorant and have not yet reacted!

She doesn't need to take all the opportunities, just take one or two, and she can jump up in the 1980s...

"Xiaolan, shall we go back?"

Liu Fen was not used to facing too many people, and she felt uncomfortable after visiting the county for a long time.

People in the city don't necessarily look good in clothes, and their clothes are dry.

It was clean, unlike her and Xia Xiaolan's clothes, which were patched several times and looked like they were from the countryside. One of Xia Xiaolan's most face-saving people, she originally had a few unpatched clothes, but she bumped her head, and Hongxia from the third family ran into the house and turned over all the good clothes.

How could Liu Fen care about such a thing at that time, she also counted on Madam Xia's kindness and agreed to send her daughter to the hospital.

Liu Fen was going back, and Xia Xiaolan was starving, and she was desperate to think that she would have to walk for two more hours.

"Eat a bowl of noodles and go!"

The stalls on the roadside don't need food stamps, and a bowl of big bone soup noodles is only 3 cents.

The soup was milky white and the noodles were white. Liu Fen had forgotten the last time he ate such refined grains.

"Auntie, cook us two bowls of noodles!"

Xia Xiaolan pulled Liu Fen to sit on the small stool, the smell of bone broth kept digging into her nose. Liu Fen waved his hand: "If you want one bowl, just one bowl!"

How could she be willing to spend 3 cents on a bowl of noodles?

Xia Xiaolan ignored her and directly gave the aunt at the noodle stall 6 cents. While cooking the noodles, the aunt praised:

"You are a filial daughter, and you will also enjoy a happy life in the future, eldest sister."

A smile appeared on Liu Fen's black and yellow face.

But thinking of Xia Xiaolan's reputation for falling to the bottom in four villages and eight townships, Liu Fen had no appetite when the fragrant big bone soup noodles were served.

"Thumbs up—"

A large car stopped by the road, the door of the passenger cab opened, and the young man in military boots jumped down, holding two large lunch boxes in his hands. He was attracted by the scent of bone broth, and when he looked up, his eyes were glued to Xia Xiaolan.
