I Wore It Back After 60 Years

Chapter 1354 Want to change the watch
The old man who sold the ducks succeeded in selling the ducks, which made the chicken seller and the goose sister-in-law very excited. They rushed to Xia Mingxing and said: "Xia Gong, we can also kill you and deliver them to your door. There are also eggs and goose eggs. It's fresh."

Xia Mingxing never refuses anyone who comes: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll take it all, my family has to stockpile food for the winter."

Chickens, ducks, and geese are weighed and recorded first, and chickens, ducks, and geese are collected individually.

Eggs cost five cents, duck eggs are cheap, and cost a quarter. Goose eggs are big and the most expensive, costing fifteen cents.

The chicken seller continued to complain: "Our place is remote, and it is a confidential unit. The supply and marketing agency collects it but cannot ship it out, and most of the family members raise chickens, so naturally they don't need to buy them. I think they just don't want to accept them, so they asked us to do it ourselves." It’s a business. I heard that the eggs in the city are sold for [-] cents, and they are very small, unlike our chickens that grow up in the mountains and lay big eggs.”

Xia Mingxing smiled and comforted: "If you can't sell it, you can keep it for yourself. It can be regarded as supplementing nutrition for your family. No matter how good the money is, if you don't have a good body, no amount of money is useless. Let me tell you, The supply in the city is tight. One person needs half a catty or one catty of egg tickets a month. You can only buy eggs with a ticket. If you don’t have a ticket, you can’t buy them. But how many eggs are there in a catty? In the words of my daughter-in-law, it’s not enough For a plate of fried meat, there are only half a catty or one catty of meat tickets per month. It is not as good as the life in our factory area. If you are short of food, you can buy some, and you can buy some if you are short of food. There is no limit. We live in the city and only have thirty or forty catties The rations are simply not enough to eat."

The chicken seller couldn't help asking, "Which city did you live in before?"

"Shanghai." Xia Mingxing replied.

The chicken seller thought for a while, and held down Xia Mingxing's bookkeeper's hand, "Xia Gong, I don't want money for my chickens or my eggs, and I can give you the money. Your family has something extra for me. ? Used ones are fine.”

Then he added: "I'm just asking, if there is, then it's really Amitabha, if not, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Xia Mingxing was taken aback, and asked, "What do you want?"

"She wants a watch, a Shanghai brand watch." The sister-in-law who sells geese and the lady who sells chickens are neighbors and know her family very well. I don’t have a job right now, so I talked to a girl who has a job in the factory, and what she asked for was a Shanghai brand watch as a bride price.”

Xia Mingxing said clearly: "Isn't the supply and marketing cooperative in the factory selling any?"

"Yes, but you have to pay by the ticket. Not to mention the ticket, you have to ask for the industrial certificate. The industrial certificate is easy to get, and you can borrow it if you ask the workers, but how can you easily get the watch ticket? There are dozens of them in the factory throughout the year." Tickets, but there are tens of thousands of workers in the factory, and workers who don’t have watches are drawn by lot every year.” The lady selling chickens sighed, “Old Wang is very unlucky, and he didn’t catch it even once.”

Xia Xingxing thought for a while and said with a smile, "I'll go back and ask my wife. I'll give you the answer when you bring chickens and eggs to my house at night. If not, I'll pay you every penny."

"All right, all right, I'll go home and kill chickens for you!" The chicken seller went home with the chicken coop.

Since the aunt who sold the goose had already sold the goose to Xia Mingxing, she naturally returned with her.

On the contrary, the old man selling ducks was very shrewd. He didn't leave in a hurry, and leaned over to Xia Mingxing's side, and said quietly, "Xia Gong, but I said first that I will kill ducks for you and deliver them to your door. You can't treat them differently."
