Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs Chapter 23 Coal Stove

Chapter 23. Coal Stove

After entering a corner of the store, she stashed away the two quilts and then continued to wander the department store.

There were ready-to-wear clothes in the mall, both for adults and children.

It was only three yuans for a bolt of cloth from the black market, and there was no need to use a coupon, but in the mall, an adult's clothing will cost five yuans!

Children were cheaper, around three yuans.

Even like this, a fabric coupon was necessary.

With a bolt of cloth from the black market, one can make five or six sets of your own ready-made clothes, and not get rip off by department store.

However, Lin Qing He still asked about the coal stove.

"It's not easy to get a coal stove at this time." The young salesperson saw that she was young, with good temperament and good looks as well as having no one coming around, she became willing to chatter with her.

"It's not easy, but if there is, I have something to exchanged it with." Lin Qing He casually mentioned.

"What can you exchange with?" The salesperson stared at her.

If it weren't for Lin Qing He's get up and temperament, the salesperson won't necessarily be willing to talk to her. At this time, the staff at this workplace were also extremely proud and looked down upon the rural people.

"I'll give what is needed," Lin Qing He frankly answered.

"Your tone is too brazen." The salesperson inspected her as she spoke.

"Meizi, do you have any channels? If there are, then I won't short you your effort fee. I won't hide it from you Meizi. My family lacks nothing, only lacks a stove. And it is for the convenience of boiling water in winter. Normally, won't use it for cooking. ”Lin Qing He glanced at her and whispered.

"I do know someone, but he lacks a pot. If you can get a pot, I will ask him to exchange the stove with you and also get you some coal!" The salesperson lowered her voice and whispered as well.

"Meizi, are you serious?"

Lin Qing He was initially thinking since she worked in her department store, she should have connections. So she promised a bit of benefit to prompt her to inquire. This was better than blindly searching by herself, after all.

Unexpectedly, she hit the jackpot.

"That's on the premise that you can bring a pot. Do you really have a pot?" The young salesperson looked at her.

"Would I lie to you? When can the exchange happen?" Lin Qing He whispered.

"I'll ask someone to watch the shop for me, and fetch the person for you. It'll take less than two hours, but you still have to show me your pot first." The young salesperson was obviously clever, responded.

"Then wait here for me first." Lin Qing He uttered.

Then she went out of the department store and brought Zhou Dong back to the door of the supply and demand cooperative. She let him wait for her here, as she went to handle her matter.

When she found a place where no one was there, she took out the old-fashioned double-eared pot and packed it into a nylon polybag.

Then she carried with her and searched for the young salesperson. The young salesperson's eyes lighted up and said, "Are you sure you want to exchange such a good pot for it?"

"Yes, exchange for the stove. Of course, the coal stove has to be good. My pot is brand new." She quietly leaned over and said: "And it came from Shanghai, and not including an industrial coupon, it was 225 yuan!"

The young salesperson didn't believe this. No matter how expensive the pot price is, it shouldn't be this exaggerated. Two hundred and twenty-five yuans! Her monthly salary was only fifteen yuan.

But it was undeniable that this pot was really good-quality, and there was no pot like this here, so maybe it really came from Shanghai.

"Don't bargain with me. Our stove is new too. However, we will get more coal for you," the salesperson said.

"Alright, hurry up." Lin Qing He urged.

The young salesperson arranged with her to meet at the entrance of the department store two hours later. and Lin Qing He agreed. She took the nylon polybag back into the s.p.a.ce while no one was there, and then headed over to the black market to circle around.

There were still people selling meat in the black market at this time, but Lin Qing He didn't want any. On the contrary, she found and sold to an old lady two jins of fat pork belly for profit.

Because she doesn’t want a meat ticket, the old lady paid five dimes per jin. The old lady didn’t even blink.

This made Lin Qing He see the business opportunity from getting goods from Sister Mei. But after thinking about it, she can't take this path unless she really lacks money.

Lin Qing He earned three yuan from the meat and bought a bolt of handwoven cloth in the black market.

Then she looked at other mountain goods, such as the mushrooms she had already bought. She had seen the pumpkins she wants in a corner of the black market. They were pretty big. One was enough three or four meals, but there were only five. She bought it for three dimes.

These things were carried over to be placed on the cart, Especially the bolt of cloth. Lin Qing He asked Zhou Dong to drag the cart to a corner. Then she took it out of the s.p.a.ce and stuffed to the bottom of the cart.

At the same time, the newly bought quilt covers she placed in too, also to the bottom of the cart.

Seeing these materials, made Zhou Dong's eyes bulged.

He felt he finally understood the reason for the rumor in the village had always been floating about Shenzi having very little money.

If he didn't see it with his own eyes, he wouldn't know how much of a big spender his Shenzi is!

"Little Dong, as a woman, it's enough to be responsible for spending money. Earning money is you men's business. Women are responsible for spending money and take care of everything in the home. Otherwise, what is the point of men making money? Money is earned to be spent, not for saving" Lin Qing He explained.

Zhou Dong: "..." What the villagers said was not all rumors. This belief of Shenzi was really terrifying.

After these things were bought, Lin Qing He led him to the department store and waited. After waiting for about half an hour, the salesperson returned. She came back on a bicycle, was panting, and was obviously relieved when she saw her.

"Come with me." The salesperson whispered.

"Little Dong, you wait here." Lin Qing He took the snakeskin bag from the cart which she put in after she left the black market. She said to Zhou Dong, then followed the salesperson.

A young man was waiting for them with a coal stove was placed on the bicycle and more than half a bag of coal.

"This is half new." Lin Qing He looked at the stove and was not satisfied.

"Don't judge because this is half new, but it's still good to use. We haven't used it many times in our own homes. Mainly because we're short a pan, or our family wouldn't take it out." The man in blue work clothes said: "What's more, I brought you so much coal. If you run out in the future, you can also go find to my sister, I will give you the internal price! "

"How is this your sister, this is clearly your wife." Lin Qing He glanced at them.

In the end, the folks in this era were simple. When the two were exposed, they immediately blushed. After all, they are not professional.

The salesperson blushed and said, "Not married yet."

"This little brother has already prepared the pot you need to use in the future. Not bad at all. Being with him, you will be blessed in the future," commented Lin Qing He. And then said, "Okay, as you wish. You can't be without the pot when you separate from the family. The pot was gotten from my maternal family at the time of separating, otherwise, not allowed to separate. "
