Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy
Chapter 45 Start stocking up on supplies
As his hunting skills improve, his income will gradually increase, and he should be able to barely make ends meet.
However, he also wants to improve his quality of life, such as buying a bicycle and food, clothing and other daily necessities for his family, so the pressure is still very great.
He can only think of ways to improve the system's income and try his best to find suitable jobs for his family members. When his family members' income increases, the money he gets from the system will also increase.
However, stockpiling food cannot be achieved in a short period of time. You have to start from now on. Buy a little each time. After repeated accumulation, you should be able to stockpile the amount you want to achieve in about a year.
Zhang Jialiang had no idea what the specific scene was like during the three difficult years. He had only heard about it briefly in later generations. Since he already knew it in advance, he had to make adequate preparations. There were many people in his family, and if they were not prepared, they would be caught off guard. He had to take it seriously.
After I thought about it, I took action and went to the night market today to have a look. It happened that I had caught a wild goose today, so I needed to take it to the night market to trade.
Around 2 a.m., Zhang Jialiang arrived at a nearby night market with familiarity with the place, and quickly sold the wild goose for 3 yuan.
Then he wandered around the night market. His main goal was of course to collect food. There was not much food in the night market. He walked around and spent more than 3 yuan to buy 5 kilograms of white flour and 10 kilograms of corn flour. Since he had no food coupons, the price was of course much higher than that in the grain station.
He found someone who specialized in selling bills in the black market.
"Lao Hei, do you have any national food coupons?"
Lao Hei glanced at Zhang Jialiang. Although Zhang Jialiang was also disguised, with a hat on his head and a scarf wrapped around his face, he was familiar with Zhang Jialiang. This guy came here often in recent times.
"Of course, I, Lao Hei, do this. However, there are not many food coupons in the whole country, but there are still many local food coupons."
"I just want national food coupons. How many do you have?"
"I now have 23 kilograms of fine grains and 32 kilograms of coarse grains."
"How much did I pay?"
"Seven dollars and eighty cents."
After the two people completed the transaction, Zhang Jialiang said to Lao Hei:
"Lao Hei, I will buy national food coupons in the future. I will come here about once a week. If you have any, please try to leave them to me."
"That's no problem, but are you sure you want as much as you want?"
"It should be fine if it's less than 5 yuan each time."
"Okay, I got it. I'll wait for you every Tuesday night."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
"Do you have bicycle tickets? How much is one?"
"Yes, one bill for 138 yuan, including proof of origin."
Zhang Jialiang has wanted to buy a bicycle for a long time. In the past, in order to conceal his hunting behavior, he had to walk twenty or thirty miles outside the city every day. Although he now has some money and has switched to taking the bus, it is still more convenient to have a bicycle. He never thought that one day he would worry about buying a bicycle.
After hearing that the price of the bicycle ticket was 138 yuan, Zhang Jialiang smacked his lips. He still had no money. He had too little money in his hand. Originally, he had 10 or yuan in his hand. After spending during this period of time, plus buying food and food coupons tonight, he now had less than yuan left.
It is better to continue taking the bus and wait until I have money. Even if I have a bicycle ticket now, I don’t have the money to buy a bicycle. Besides, I have to stockpile food, so I may have to wait half a year before I can realize the dream of buying a bicycle.
You can do without a bicycle, but you still have to smoke. They can’t be low-quality cigarettes. It’s okay to drink a little wine occasionally, but they can’t be of low quality. In short, you still don’t have enough money to spend.
I hope I can hunt more game this week, otherwise I won’t have enough money to buy food and food coupons next time.
The reason why Zhang Jialiang bought national food coupons was that during the three difficult years, national food coupons could still be exchanged normally, and the national food coupons also included a portion of edible oil.
In addition, grain also has a shelf life. If it is stored for too long, it will become stale and no longer tasty. However, national grain coupons can be exchanged at any time.
However, national food coupons also have a disadvantage, that is, their price is much higher than normal grain. But the two can be used in combination, with grain as the main source and some national food coupons as the supplement. Even if the national food coupons cannot be used up by the time, they will not depreciate. By that time, there is a high probability that they will appreciate and you will not lose money.
During dinner today, Zhang Jialiang discovered that Liumei seemed to be in a bad mood. She was listless while eating, and when she was making matchboxes, she was not as agile as usual and seemed a little absent-minded.
After dinner, he called his fifth sister to his little room.
"Fifth sister, what's wrong with sixth sister? She seems very unhappy today. Did something happen?"
After hearing what Zhang Jialiang said, the fifth sister looked outside cautiously, then whispered in Zhang Jialiang's ear:
"Third brother, Jiahui is really unhappy today. Isn't the high school entrance exam coming up soon? Her grades are so good, there will be no problem for her to get into a technical secondary school or high school.
Jiahui wants to go to high school and then take the college entrance examination. I have secretly read her diary and her wish has always been to become a college student.
But today her mother told her that she would not go to high school anymore and wanted her to take the entrance exam for a technical secondary school. High school costs too much money, and technical secondary schools provide subsidies so the family doesn't have to spend much money. Moreover, after graduation, she can work and earn money.
Jiahui was a little unhappy, but she didn't dare tell her mother that she wanted to go to college. I saw her crying secretly.
Third brother, do you think university is that good?
Why does Jiahui want to go to college so much?
I think technical secondary school is pretty good, it costs less, takes less time, and after three years you can start working and earn money, how great is that! ”
Zhang Jiamei couldn't quite understand Liumei's idea. In her opinion, going to a technical secondary school was good enough so that she could start working earlier, earn money earlier, and reduce the burden on the family.
"What do you know? You spend the whole day thinking about how to make delicious food. Do you think that if you make money early, you can buy whatever you want and eat whatever you want?
Sixth sister is different from you. She has ideals and ambitions. I will definitely support her.
Since she is such a good student, she should be admitted to a university. It's time for our family to have a university student. We can't count on anyone else in our family, so only our sixth sister has hope.
Go talk to Sixth Sister outside the compound, I'll talk to her and ask her what she thinks."
After Zhang Jialiang finished speaking, he walked out of his house. After waiting for a while, his sixth sister Zhang Jiahui came out with her head lowered.
"Let's go talk outside."
Zhang Jialiang said something to Liumei and walked out of the compound. Zhang Jiahui followed him with her head down. It seemed that her mood was indeed affected today.
