After the disaster

Qiu Cheng stopped his tricycle in front of the stall, and a 40-year-old elder sister came over to greet him: "What kind of seeds do you want to buy? We have all kinds of seeds here."

"How do you sell the rice seeds?" Qiu Cheng asked.

"Which one do you like? Let's get this one. We all use this brand of rice seeds in this area." The proprietress said and brought Qiu Cheng a bag of rice seeds wrapped in plastic bags. "It's hard to find rice seeds now, and my family has the most varieties in the entire night market."

"How do you sell this?" Qiu Cheng asked her again.As he spoke, he also looked at the package of the bag of rice seeds. It stated that the weight was 480 grams, and it also stated the area suitable for planting. As for whether it was a freshman, it was not mentioned.

"A pack of twelve catties of cornmeal," said the proprietress.

"So expensive?" Even people like Qiu Cheng who set up a spirit-gathering formation at home feel that the price is too expensive. How many ordinary farmers can afford it?

"It's not too expensive. The seeds we sell are not fresh." The proprietress said this, as if she was saying that their seeds were made of gold. Originally, the most common package of seeds, Being set off by such a notorious freshman, he immediately looked noble.

"Eight catties." Qiu Cheng counter-offered.It’s okay if she doesn’t mention the new students, but when she mentions the new students, Qiu Chengcheng knows that the price is worth it, and it’s just to use the new students to carry their own things. Whether the seeds they sell at the stall have the new technology or not? Who can tell?

"Hey! How much cornmeal does a catty of ordinary rice cost now? This is rice seed!" The proprietress said as she pulled the bag of rice seed in Qiu Cheng's hand and put it back on her stall.

Qiu Cheng didn't say anything, he just got on his tricycle and left. If he couldn't find suitable rice seeds in this night market, at worst, he would go to the morning market tomorrow. It wouldn't be a big Xinnan City, only their family Selling rice seeds.

"Hey, if you want to buy it sincerely, I'll give you a pack of ten catty eight taels." The proprietress immediately changed her attitude when she saw that Qiu Cheng didn't follow her way.

"Eight and a half catties." Qiu Cheng said.

The proprietress would never agree, but she could see that Qiu Cheng really planned to buy the rice seeds at this time, so she also came to negotiate with him, and after a long time of grinding, she finally agreed to exchange ten catties of cornmeal for this bag of rice seeds, and the proprietress would give another gift Give Qiu Cheng a small packet of soybean seeds.

This small bag of soybean seeds is really small, about a dozen or so, and it is packed in a transparent bag, which should have been used as a topping.

After buying the seeds, Qiu Cheng went to the shop where he bought mirror stickers last time, and wanted to buy another batch of mirror stickers. Although the shop owner said that those were the last batch of mirror stickers in their store, Qiu Cheng still planned to go over and ask Ask, maybe they don't have it at home, but they can point him to a place that has it.

"This thing is not very popular in our city, and there are very few merchants with this product." The shop owner heard Qiu Cheng said that he wanted to buy mirror stickers again, so he told him, "If you really plan to buy it, I can help you run away." I went to the provincial capital to ask. Originally, we bought the goods from there, and they have all the goods there, but this time, the price has gone up. You know, I sold it to you last time. Originally, it was the clearance price, so the provincial capital may not be willing to sell it so cheaply."

When Qiu Cheng came to buy mirror stickers last time, it was the time when the whole Xinnan City was in panic. Everyone who had some rations in their hands held tightly. The life of the merchants was not easy. The owner of the shop immediately happily gave him a good price for those mirror stickers.

It is different now, everyone is watching that the days will get better soon, the food will be sufficient soon, the market will gradually become active, the life of the merchants will be better, and those who have some good things at home will naturally Not willing to sell cheap.

"What about the mirror? What's the price now?" Qiu Cheng used to use mirror stickers instead of mirrors for the sake of convenience and cheapness. Now that mirror stickers are neither convenient nor cheap, he decided to use mirrors.

"Mirror? This is cheap! There is a mirror factory in the north of Xinnan City. It is a small factory with a low level of technology. To be honest, the quality is not comparable to that of other big factories, but it is cheap. Come on." , I’ll take you there, their family also has a store near here.”

The shop owner said so, and led Qiu Cheng to the colder side in the east. Qiu Cheng was also familiar with him once, so he left with him without much hesitation.Not far to the east, I saw a shop selling mirrors. This location is a bit far from the night market, and there are not many people.

"Lao San Luo, I've brought you business again." The owner of the decoration material store yelled loudly as soon as he arrived.

"Who wants to buy a fitting mirror?" A 37-year-old young man walked out of the shop. He was not tall, a little thin, and had a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Hey, don't look at people through doors." After the owner of the decoration shop finished speaking, he asked Qiu Cheng, "How much do you plan to buy?"

"Let me take a look first," Qiu Cheng said.If the price is right, he will definitely buy more.

The man named Luo Laosan was very polite to Qiu Cheng and the others. First, he introduced his own mirrors. What is the price of ordinary glass mirrors, what is the price of mirrors made of special materials, what is the wholesale price and what is the retail price? I told Qiu Cheng once.

Then he asked Qiu Cheng how big he planned to cut it into for use after he bought it back. If the size requirements were not high, there were still a batch of cut mirrors in his factory, which were originally intended to be supplied to a furniture company, but they had not been delivered in time. The X virus broke out, and now this batch of goods is still stored in the warehouse. If Qiu Cheng can accept this size, the price can be considered cheaper.

Qiu Cheng thought that if he used a mirror to stick to the wall, it would be inconvenient and unsafe if it was too big, so it would be more reassuring to make it smaller and drive a few more nails, and there will be many houses in his family that will need to stick mirrors on the wall in the future.

The six houses on the south side have to be put to good use in the future. 1507 on the north side and 1512, which has not yet been bought, both need to be equipped with mirrors. There is also the [-]th floor, which is likely to be bought in the future. Buy more mirrors now. It doesn't matter.So Qiu Chengcheng ordered this batch of goods from Luo Laosan, paid [-]% of the payment as a deposit, and agreed that when they delivered the goods tomorrow, he would pay the rest of the payment.

"How about it, is it a big deal?" After Qiu Cheng left, the owner of the decoration shop asked Lao San proudly.

"It's rare that you can still bring a big client to me." After making a big deal, Luo Laosan was also very happy, brought out an electronic scale, and was about to weigh cornmeal for the middleman.

"Don't think that the business I usually bring is small. When there is no food, a bite of corn tortillas can save lives." The owner of the decoration shop hummed and then squatted down again, watching Luo Laosan call cornmeal, but Don't ask him to eat the scales.

"Why is this?"

"Didn't you just receive the deposit? I'll give you the rest after he pays the rest of the purchase."

"The deposit has been paid, and the business has not run away, so you can't pay it first?"

"Then what a risk I have to take!"

"...Did you peel the cloth bag just now?"

"How heavy is the cloth bag?"

"If it's not too heavy, it has to be peeled, re-weighed and re-weighed..."

On the way out of the night market, Qiu Cheng bought another impact drill at a roadside stall. It was a semi-new one, but it was a branded product. He also picked out some big and small drill bits, mainly glass drill bits and ordinary drill bits.

Also bought some expansion plugs, screws and washers.In the west section of the night market, there are many stalls scattered here and there, selling miscellaneous items at relatively low prices. After Qiu Cheng finished buying these items, plus the [-]% deposit he paid earlier, his income for the night was already Not much left.

Back home, Qiu Cheng saw that the first coat of waterproof grout in room 1507 was almost dry, so he applied it a second time overnight.

Early the next morning, Qiu Cheng and A Chang went to the river to fetch water. 1507 needed a lot of water to grow rice, and the tap water was delayed. Dog, Qiu Cheng decided to bring in more river water for preparations in the next two days.

They rode a tricycle to the river this morning. There were several large round jugs half the height of a person on the car. When filling water by the river, Qiu Cheng saw a few snails that were not too big or small. I caught them and threw them into the kettle, planning to take them home and raise them in the fish pond.

"Is this edible?" Ah Chang stretched out his hand to touch the bottom of the water, and found a snail the size of a mung bean. He frowned and looked at it, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think it seemed edible.

"You can eat it when you grow up." At this time, Qiu Cheng was dragging the half-filled jug up from the river, putting it on the tricycle, and then pouring water into it with buckets.

"Is it delicious?" Ah Chang looked a little disbelieving.

"It's delicious." The water quality of the Xinnan River is good, and the snails it produces are also good. Qiu Cheng has eaten fried snails since he was a child.

"Really?" Ah Chang's eyes lit up.

"Yes." Qiu Cheng replied.

"!" Ah Chang grinned happily, and ran away without a trace. Qiu Cheng guessed that he must have gone to touch the snails, so he didn't care. He filled the water bottle by himself, and when he was done, he put on the turtle box again. Go to a nearby field to catch bugs.

About half an hour later, Ah Chang was shirtless and grinning, and rushed back like the wind. He was holding the top in his hand, and it was a big bulging bag, with water dripping from underneath.

"So many!" Qiu Cheng took the clothes in Ah Chang's hand, opened it, and found that it was full of snails the size of fingernails. Judging from the weight, it must be at least three or four catties. Being able to get so many snails back, I was so happy that I smiled for a while.

Ah Chang and Qiu Cheng smiled, so happy that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
