Traveling through the ages with the hotel, being doted on by four brothers

Chapter 194 The Joy of Shopping

The next step was to prepare for the payment of public grain. The grain was packed into bags, weighed, and then loaded onto the tractor. The part that the tractor could not pull was pulled by an ox cart, and then carried by people. This year, Yong'an Production Team paid the public grain the earliest and with the best quality. The grain was classified as first-class grain, and the production team was also rated as an advanced production team.

Xia Chan’s efforts this year cannot be told to others, so she was not named an advanced individual this year. However, most people will never be named an advanced individual in their entire lives. It is already very outstanding that she was named an advanced individual once.

After paying the public grain, the team leader asked everyone to have a good rest for two days. After the rest, they could distribute the grain and money, and then prepare for the winter. After all, the winter here is very cold, and the temperature may reach minus 20 degrees Celsius at night. They have to prepare firewood and food for the winter.

The radishes and cabbages in the private plots must be harvested and stored in the cellar, otherwise there will be nothing to eat in the winter.

Xia Chan was also tired and didn't want to go out, so she prepared a bag of things for Xiao Tiantian, including dried bamboo shoots, chestnuts, dried mushrooms, dried black fungus and dried wild vegetables, twenty kilograms each, and asked the brother and sister to take a ox cart to the post office to mail it themselves.

Xia Chan wanted to rest at home obediently for two days before the food distribution. After all, she was really tired during this period of time, but someone didn't let her have a good rest!
On the first day of rest, another letter from Yuan Bingchao arrived, and it was delivered to Xia Chan's home by Xia Qingshan.

After Yuan Bingchao wrote to Xia Chan but Xia Chan didn't reply, Yuan Bingchao started writing to Xia Chan every week. He always sent the letters to the school on non-holidays. Moreover, he did the same thing during the time when he went out to collect grain. This led to many people in the production team knowing that someone had been sending letters to Xia Chan.

Xia Chan really didn't want Yuan Bingchao to disturb her peaceful life. After reading Yuan Bingchao's letter, she got up from the kang and began to write a reply to Yuan Bingchao.

There was only one sentence in the letter.
-
I don't like you, please don't continue to disturb my peaceful life.

The reason why she was so heartless was because she was afraid that Yuan Bingchao would ask her what she hated about him and that he could change it.

He was also afraid that Yuan Bingchao would feel good about himself and think that even though Xia Chan didn't like him now, she would definitely like him in the future, so he told him directly and firmly that she didn't like him, and let him know that some things could not be changed by his efforts, and the ending of some things was destined from the beginning.

Xia Chan packed herself up, left a note for her brothers, and went to the captain's house to borrow a tractor. She wanted to mail the letter first, and then go to the black market in the county to trade with the handsome uncle. The handsome uncle had a lot of good stuff, and she had to get them all for herself.

She usually traded with him once a quarter, and at this time everyone had finished the autumn harvest and wanted to buy some good things. At this time, as long as she didn't sell food, she could make money from other things.

Xia Chan came to the town and went to the post office first to mail the reply to Yuan Bingchao. Then he bought some stamps of collection value and drove the tractor straight to the county town. When he came to the forest where the transaction was going to take place, Xia Chan put the tractor in the largest room in the hotel suite.

After that, he picked up his phone and started preparing the materials for this transaction. In fact, many things in his previous life were cheaper than they are now, so he could still make some money by bringing them here.

Xia Chan placed orders for 100 pieces each of a thick and warm cotton-padded jacket for 50 yuan, an old-fashioned northern cotton-padded jacket for more than 30 yuan, and a seven-pound winter quilt for 60 yuan from the "Crossing Mall".

The total cost was 14,000 yuan, but she could earn at least 10 yuan for each item, which means that her minimum income today was 17,000 yuan. Xia Chan prepared everything and put it in a place where she could easily get it, then took the samples to the black market to find the handsome middle-aged uncle. Xia Chan didn't ask his name, she only knew that his last name was Zhong, so she called him Uncle Zhong.

But I don’t know what the summer cicada is called specifically. It’s just a transaction, there’s no need to mix in emotions.

"Little brother, why are you here today?" It was obviously not the day of the transaction, so Uncle Zhong was a little surprised.

"Of course it's because I have good stuff in my hands!" Xia Chan took out three products to be released today from the backpack and placed them in front of Uncle Zhong one by one. "Uncle Zhong, these are good things from the Southern Garment Factory. Please take a look at them, Uncle Zhong."

Uncle Zhong reached out and pinched the winter quilt. Although it was not pure white cotton, the material felt very soft and comfortable. He didn't know now that this material was called lambskin and was very popular in later generations.

Moreover, Xia Chan said that these things came from the south, so he naturally didn't have the time to go to the south to verify it. All he cared about was whether he could make money!

After Uncle Zhong looked at the winter quilts, big cotton-padded jackets and flowery cotton-padded jackets, he was very satisfied. Xia Chan was also very satisfied with the price he offered. She originally thought that she could make a maximum of ten yuan for each item, but she didn't expect to make twenty yuan.

It seems that the consumption power in the county town is even greater than she thought.

Of course, it is also possible that Uncle Zhong will resell these things to the provincial capital, so that he can make more money.

"Uncle Zhong, see you at the old place in two hours. This time I want 14,000 yuan in cash, 5,000 yuan in old items, and 1,000 yuan in tickets." After Xia Chan said this, he turned and left.

I have exchanged a lot of old items from Uncle Zhong in the previous two times. The old items later are not as good as the previous ones, so Xia Chan doesn’t want so many. As for exchanging tickets, they are also for my brothers, so that my brothers can go to the city to buy what they want.

Let the brothers also experience the joy of shopping.

After completing the transaction, Xia Chan put all the money, tickets and old items into the space. It seems that in the future, he will look for some things in the "Time Travel Mall" that were valuable in the 1970s but not so valuable in later generations.

Xia Chan suddenly thought of the iron pot. An iron pot in that era seemed to cost 18 yuan, and one also needed an industrial coupon. Industrial coupons were not easy to obtain at that time. People with jobs were only issued a few per month, so they could not buy an iron pot even if they wanted to.

So Xia Chan went directly to the "Crossing Mall" to search, and unexpectedly he actually found a flat-bottomed iron pan that was suitable for stoves and coal stoves. Many wealthy families in the city already used gas stoves, so such an iron pan was very suitable.

The most important thing is that this iron pan is only thirty yuan, and there is a discount if you buy more, so it is only twenty-five yuan each. Although the big iron pan is only eighteen yuan, you need a ticket. This flat-bottomed iron pan does not require a ticket, so I'm sure many people would be willing to buy it. So Xia Chan directly placed an order for one hundred and one flat-bottomed iron pans and took one for his own home. He can use this flat-bottomed iron pan to fry eggs and pancakes in the future.
