Chapter 44 Buying Cloth
·
Kou Qing Si
There was a long queue at the supply and marketing cooperative. An Yinan didn't know why, so he was squeezed in by the crowd. He just had enough time to see what everyone was buying.
“你要哪个颜色的？”轮到安以南的时候，才看到供销社在处理特价布，有军绿色和大红色两种，不过大红色已经所剩不多了，军绿色倒是还有Some.
"How much does it cost per foot?" An Yinan likes military green very much. If she can buy more, she would like to buy more to make clothes for Beibei and Chen Xun.
"Thirty cents per foot. There is no need to pay for the special price cloth. One person can buy up to ten feet." That's three yuan, which is not enough to make clothes for Chen Xun.
"I want ten feet of military green." An Yinan pointed at the army green cloth. There was a lot left at the moment.
The salesperson looked at An Yinan and said, "Don't you want Dahong?"
In this era, when you get married, you have to buy bright red cloth and then make yourself a bright red dress. This is already a very honorable thing.
Every time a bright red cloth is put on the counter, it will be sold out. This time the color is a little darker, so it is a special price.
There is a little bit of bright red left, but a lot of army green is left.
"No." An Yinan shook his head.
"I would like to order more military green." The salesperson lowered her voice.
"What's the most you can ask for?" An Yinan asked.
"Why don't you wait a moment? There are two pieces of military green cloth in the warehouse behind, which are in the same batch as these. If you want it, just wait a moment?" Each of their salesmen will give priority to grabbing the special products, which can be used by themselves. Hands can also be sold for money.
She first grabbed two pieces of military green cloth, but her mother insisted on changing them to bright red. She put her money on the cloth. Normally, military green was easy to sell, but with bright red, it was so tight.
Now that I met An Yinan, it was time to change the cloth.
"That's okay." An Yinan nodded and stood aside, watching everyone frantically grabbing the red cloth.
The double grab is over, and it’s time to hand over public and love food. Winter is also the day when most weddings take place. Without the busy farming schedule, you have time to have babies after you get married.
The spring of the next year was full of new wives with big bellies.
This is a common phenomenon in rural areas. You can have a baby and work at the same time, so that's it.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the salesperson stood on the stool and shouted loudly, "The red cloth is gone. Those who want the special military green cloth continue to queue. The big red cloth is gone, and the queue is gone."
"Why is it just this little? I also want to grab a few feet for my daughter to make clothes."
"I don't know. You don't need to buy a ticket for thirty cents. You can just buy it and save it."
"Hey, if I had known I would have been in line first."
Everyone dispersed in a noisy manner. The queue that had just grown long was gone in a blink of an eye. Only two or three people who were buying military green cloth at special prices were still queuing up.
After pulling the cloth of these people, the salesperson came to An Yinan and said, "Okay, let's go."
The two quickly walked to the warehouse, where there were pieces of cloth of various colors. The salesperson took out two pieces of cloth from behind a cabinet, "I originally kept these for myself, but my mother asked me to order more red cloth. , you have to transfer it out, you can take it all, it’s only [-] cents, I don’t make any money from you.”
A piece of cloth is 24 feet long. An Yinan directly handed over [-] yuan and pocketed the two pieces of cloth without any hesitation.
With these two pieces of cloth, her return gift was ready.
The fabric in the space was too high-end, and the material and craftsmanship were very different. For someone who knew the details, she really couldn't tell the origin.
But the cloth from the supply and marketing cooperative requires cloth stamps, and her cloth stamps were not enough to make a suit of clothes for Beibei. This time, when she saw cloth on sale, she simply collected all the cloth stamps.
After finding a place where no one was around, he put all his things into the space, and then slowly walked towards the state-owned hotel.
It took almost an hour to queue up, and it's getting late now.
As I approached the state-owned hotel, I saw Sister Liu Mei walking around the door.
Liu Mei saw An Yinan from a distance and hurried over, "Sister, you're here."
An Yinan was a little surprised. Didn't Sister Liu Mei rest after two o'clock?It's only been more than ten minutes now, don't you need to clean up?
"The handkerchiefs have all been cleared out. My cousin said that there are many people asking for them. My sisters also have many people asking for them. There are at least two hundred pieces. Sister, as long as you have handkerchiefs, I will accept them. As much as you want." Liu Mei quickly shared the situation. After her cousin came over, she specifically asked for twenty more, so that she would definitely keep them for her next time.
The other little sisters were even worse. Even the few lines they left behind were divided a lot. There were people involved and there was no way to refuse them. However, it was also a good thing. Their status in their unit was more stable. .
"I'll see how many my godmother can mail. I'll get them all for Sister Liu Mei then." An Yinan didn't refuse. It seems that the market is not saturated for the time being, but he can release a hundred more.
Even if those state-owned fabric factories want to imitate, they can't imitate it. The designs, colors, materials, and craftsmanship are not something that can be imitated in this era.
Those old materials can make a square scarf look like it, but they can't make a square scarf look inside.
Different materials and colors look different on people.
"That's a good relationship. These are the sizes of two gay men's woolen coats, as well as the woolen coat that my godmother sent me last time. You keep what you wear and bring the rest to my sister." Today and The sisters mentioned the woolen coats, and everyone was already eager to try them. Let alone a few pieces, she believed that even dozens of pieces would be sold.
An Yinan nodded in agreement. With the magazines in the space and the woolen coat under her arms, she could stay quietly these days.
"Okay, I'll come to the county town next week and deliver it to Sister Liu Mei together." An Yinan nodded and agreed to the matter.
Although the price is cheaper, it is much more convenient and safer.
The two of them had settled the matter, and Liu Mei took An Yinan into the state-owned hotel. She took out the braised pork that had been reserved in advance. The lunch box could no longer be opened, so Liu Mei poured it directly into a large porcelain basin with a lid on it. Get a lid.
He took out a whole bag of meat cages.
"You take this basin back first, and you can bring it back to me together next time. These meat cages are new to my uncle. I think you like them, so I decided to leave thirty of them for you." It's getting cold now, and They are not afraid of storage, and An Yinan said that their friends all eat together, which naturally consumes a lot of food. Thirty people can only eat for two or three days.
An Yinan quickly packed the things and paid Liu Mei. Liu Mei didn't refuse much. Even if she was asked to pay for these things, she couldn't afford them.
"Sister Liu Mei, I'll see you in a week. I'll go back and call my godmother first." An Yinan greeted Liu Mei and walked towards the stone pillar, where Uncle Niu kept the cattle cart.
