Chapter 34

Zhang Ping was quite satisfied with talking so much in one breath, “Little girl, you can call me Sister Ping, I like you, that’s why I told you all this today.”

“Okay, Sister Ping, next time I come to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, I’ll ask you if I don’t know anything.”

“Sister Ping is like a know-it-all.”

Jiang Zhizhi was very well-behaved on the surface, and the two of them began to get acquainted with each other.

Jiang Yuanfeng and Jiang Yuanyang on the side: “………”

They couldn’t get a word in.

They originally wanted to take their sister to the county town to have a look around, but their sister was very slippery.

They didn’t need to worry at all.

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and took two eggs from her black canvas bag and handed them to Zhang Ping, she said softly: “Sister Ping, these are eggs from our own chickens, you can try them.

It’s almost winter, and it’s not easy for us siblings to come to the county town, today we actually met a salesperson like you who is enthusiastically serving customers at your post in the supply and marketing cooperative, with a smile on your face, serving the people, I feel the joy and happiness of buying things in the supply and marketing cooperative.

If someone from above asks me what I think of the supply and marketing cooperative, I will definitely say that you are an excellent supply and marketing cooperative salesperson!”

Jiang Zhizhi’s little face was as sincere as it could be, her little mouth was as sweet as honey: “Since Sister Ping said that we came at the right time today, I’ll still buy some things I need to take back, especially cloth, I’m afraid it will be sold out next time I come.”

Zhang Ping became even more enthusiastic, she no longer called her little girl, she directly called her sister.

“Sister, did you eat candy?”

Zhang Ping reached out to take the eggs that Jiang Zhizhi handed her.

Indeed, they worked in the supply and marketing cooperative, especially with the identity of a supply and marketing cooperative salesperson, they were looked up to wherever they went.

Besides, who doesn’t like to hear compliments?

It felt so good to be praised!

Anyway, Zhang Ping loved to hear it, she loved to hear people praise her for being serious and enthusiastic in her work, serving the people.

Jiang Zhizhi started to list the things she wanted to buy, especially her family’s towels needed to be changed.

Her three brothers all shared one towel, and her uncle and aunt’s towels were already worn out.

Buying Double Happiness would be convenient for her uncle to use when he went out to other villages to find out information.

In this era, men liked to put cigarettes behind their ears, they didn’t rush to smoke, they would walk around like that, looking very proud.

“I want five kilogram of flour, five kilogram of strong flour, one pack of Double Happiness, one box of Da Menqian, one bottle of Maotai liquor, one kilogram of white sugar, five towels, two thermoses, five meters of coarse cloth, five meters of white cotton cloth, five meters of velvet cloth, and one kilogram of yarn.”

Zhang Ping gasped, she couldn’t believe what she heard.

Wow, this little girl actually bought so much cloth?

How long has she been saving up cloth tickets?

Zhang Ping slapped her face, and quickly tapped her abacus to quote the price.

“Five kilogram of flour is eight yuan and five fen; five kilogram of strong flour is seven yuan and five fen; Double Happiness is seven yuan, Da Menqian is three yuan and five fen, Maotai is seven yuan, five towels are six yuan; white sugar is seven yuan and eight fen; iron thermos is ten yuan and four yuan; coarse cloth is three yuan and four yuan and five fen; white cotton cloth is nine yuan; velvet cloth is eight yuan; yarn is eighteen yuan.

A total of seventy-one yuan and five yuan and eight fen, a total of six industrial tickets, if it’s five city feet cloth tickets, it’s three tickets.

Also, yarn, thermoses, and towels need industrial tickets, the Maotai you bought is rationed, so you don’t need tickets.”

Seeing that Jiang Zhizhi needed so much, Zhang Ping’s smile became even brighter: “Okay, I’ll pack everything for you.”

Zhang Ping quickly took out the things Jiang Zhizhi wanted, when weighing the flour, a little bit spilled on the scale pan, but she didn’t say anything.

When cutting the cloth, there were scales engraved on the edge of the counter where Zhang Ping stood, which was convenient for them to cut the cloth when selling it.

Zhang Ping was also a kind person, when she cut the cloth for Jiang Zhizhi and her brothers, she gave them a little extra.

Jiang Yuanfeng took a basket to put the things they bought, especially the conspicuous ones, he put them directly in the sack.

Jiang Yuanyang yelled and rushed up, hugging the cloth they had bought, especially the white cotton cloth, it was so precious, if it got dirty, it would be over.

Jiang Zhizhi counted the cloth tickets, wine tickets, and industrial tickets, then handed the tickets and money to Zhang Ping.

Jiang Yuanyang saw Jiang Zhizhi’s domineering look, he was completely blinded!

She’s so rich!

She’s so awesome!

Zhang Ping counted the money and tickets, put them in the drawer, and said with a smile: “Sister, you’re really a straightforward person, I have to tell you in advance next time there’s something good.”

Jiang Zhizhi saw that the time was right, she immediately leaned forward: “Then I’ll thank Sister Ping in advance, I really need cloth and cotton recently, you can keep an eye out for me.”

Wow, a pillow for someone who’s sleepy! Jiang Zhizhi was waiting for this kind of relationship to be made clear.

From now on, when she bought, bought, bought, and her family asked her, she would just push it onto Sister Ping, the saleswoman at the supply and marketing cooperative.

Hee hee hee, as long as her family believed it.

Zhang Ping nodded, the smile on her face didn’t stop, she whispered: “Cotton is a scarce commodity, I may not be able to keep any for you. But if someone outside wants to sell it, I’ll keep an eye out for you.”

Then, Jiang Zhizhi went to the food section, she wanted to buy some snacks.

It seemed that many people were fond of canned yellow peaches, but unfortunately, the supply and marketing cooperative didn’t have any.

Then she bought two kilogram of glutinous rice sticks, two kilogram of cake, and one kilogram of fruit candy.

Jiang Zhizhi asked: “Sister Ping, does the supply and marketing cooperative sell Da Bai Tu milk candy? I want two kilogram.”

Zhang Ping looked around and whispered back: “Didn’t I say? There are scarce goods coming in today, so there must be some.

Before, they only had them in the provincial capital, even foreigners bought Da Bai Tu milk candy from big cities, it was the top-tier candy in everyone’s eyes.

People say that seven Da Bai Tu milk candies soaked in water is equal to a cup of milk, this stuff is just expensive.

Our supply and marketing cooperative only got ten kilogram, so I’ll pack two kilogram for you?”

Jiang Zhizhi smiled and flattered her: “Okay, thank you, Sister Ping, it’s so lucky to have you, it’s so happy to buy things with you.”

At the same time, she took two fruit candies and stuffed them into Zhang Ping’s hand.

Zhang Ping quoted the price excitedly: “Da Bai Tu milk candy is five yuan: cake is one yuan and three yuan and four fen; glutinous rice sticks are one yuan and eight yuan; fruit candy is one yuan and five yuan, they all need sugar tickets, a total of nine yuan and six yuan and four fen.”

This girl spent three months’ wages of an ordinary worker in a day!

Wow, how can she do that?

Even if you spend money on big things, you can’t reach this girl’s level!

Jiang Zhizhi praised Zhang Ping again, saying that she was quick and efficient, her abacus was fast and accurate, and the things she gave were weighed correctly.

Zhang Ping felt that she had been sincerely praised and flattered today, she was floating.

“Do you want defective cloth? I have some stock here, I don’t need tickets.

But you can’t buy too much, we need to keep some for ourselves, don’t be picky about the color, it’s all gray-blue.”

Zhang Ping really felt that Jiang Zhizhi bought a lot of things, she was also very smart and had a sweet mouth.

She finally agreed to sell the defective cloth to Jiang Zhizhi.

Jiang Zhizhi was overjoyed, she quickly nodded: “I want it, I want it.”

Praise her and get a surprise?!

She also bought five meters of defective cloth, which cost another three yuan and four yuan and five fen, Jiang Zhizhi was ecstatic!

Unfortunately, time was limited, her brothers looked like they were scared, Jiang Zhizhi saw that it was time to stop, she would buy the rest next time.

The two baskets and two sacks they brought in were all filled!

Jiang Yuanfeng was speechless: “………”

When his sister bought a little, she was happy, when she bought a basket of things, she was beaming, her mouth was chattering, she was so enthusiastic!

Jiang Yuanfeng didn’t want to know what other people thought, he only knew that his sister was simply crazy with happiness.

Jiang Yuanyang was stunned.

Other people were so envious!

…….

At the same time, in Da Jiang Village.

Jiang Fengshou opened his eyes groggily, his voice was hoarse: “Water…”

“Fengshou, you’re finally awake? You want water, right? Mom will bring it to you right away.”

Li Hong, who had been guarding by his side, quickly brought a bowl of water and handed it to her son’s mouth.

Jiang Fengshou was like he hadn’t had water in eight hundred years, he gulped it down, and finished a large bowl of water in just a few sips.

Li Hong anxiously asked: “How are you feeling now?”

Jiang Fengshou’s head was dizzy, he made a series of gasping sounds: “Hiss… hiss… hiss…”
