◎Xiao Juhua hasn't left yet? ! ◎
After listening to Shen Weiwei, Du Xiaojuan also felt that something was wrong.
"Why don't we go, and ask those who have gone tomorrow what to say?" But these days cloth is very rare, not only expensive, cloth tickets are even more rare, that's why this kind of cloth without tickets is so popular Welcome, Du Xiaojuan's heart hurts when she thinks that she can't buy it anymore.
Shen Wei smiled and said: "It's okay, let's go and have a look, and leave if there is anything wrong."
They said they were going to the supply and marketing cooperative, but in fact it was on the small road going out of the military area.
When Shen Weiwei and the others passed by, they had already gathered Several people were killed, all of whom were military wives.
Surrounded by them was an elderly woman, she should be a local, she spoke with an accent, with three snakeskin bags at her feet, she said in a low voice, "Take it easy, you're interested Just take it directly, don't waste time picking and picking!"
She said while looking around cautiously, for fear that if someone from the military region came to patrol, then she would be finished.
Shen Weiwei took a look through the crowd, and found that the cloth was actually not very good, not in bundles, but pieces of rags.
But even so, the crowd is still very crazy to choose, but they have asked, these cloth not only do not need tickets, but also much cheaper than the defective cloth sold by the supply and marketing agency, even if it is a piece of cloth, what's the matter, adults can't wear it, children can Wear it, a few pieces patched together are perfect for making an inner garment.
Everyone rushed over quickly, fearing that the good ones would be taken away by others, but Shen Weiwei just watched and never took it.
Seeing her motionless, the woman selling clothes asked, "Little daughter-in-law, don't you want it? This is a high-quality fabric. It was shipped from a garment factory in the south. If it weren't for the old woman, I have something to do with it, so I still can't get it." What!"
"Are these all the same price?" Shen Weiwei asked.
"For one price, the cloth from the supply and marketing cooperative is at least seven or eight cents a foot, and it is the worst kind of white cloth. Look at mine, they are all in different colors and patterns, and they only cost sixty cents a catty. Where can I find a comparison?" Is this a cheap deal?" The old woman introduced with a spit.
She thought that Shen Weiwei would not be able to resist buying it when she said that, but when everyone around here had finished choosing, and the cloth of the three snakeskin bags had been divided up, Shen Weiwei still had nothing in her hand.
After collecting other people's money, the old woman looked very regretful and said: "You little daughter-in-law, why don't you want such a good cloth!"
Shen Weiwei said pretending to be disgusted: "These cloths are too shredded. It doesn't look good, I don't like it." Isn't this nonsense, can it be so cheap without being so broken? And what's wrong with broken, broken can't be used anymore, it looks like a lesbian who doesn't know how to be diligent and thrifty!
The old woman persuaded while slandering: "It's not good-looking but it's worth it. You can use it to make underwear and shoe soles!" "I don't want it."
Shen Weiwei still shook her head, thought for a while and said: "You have a big one at home. Cloth, if there is any, I will buy it, but it can't be too expensive."
Listening to her request after request, the old woman was so annoyed that she really didn't know good from bad, but when she thought about her main task this time, she still He nodded and said: "Yes! But it can't be too cheap, at least two cents per catty!"
Seeing her pretending to be in pain, Shen smiled slightly: "Success."
"Then tomorrow morning, come and find me The old woman lived in a nearby village, and said her surname was Liu, and she would just go to her house when the time came, fearing that Shen Weiwei would not like it, she added: "If you come here to buy such a good fabric in private, you will definitely not have it." For the sake of it, I agree to you for the sake of your eyesight."
Shen slightly nodded: "Okay, I will make sure to say it tomorrow morning."
They stood aside and said it secretly, and when they finished speaking, the woman took the things and left. Du Xiaojuan came over and asked, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you let me rob it just now!"
She had already robbed several things. It was a piece of cloth, but Shen Weiwei suddenly asked her to put it back.
Du Xiaojuan couldn't bear it, and finally saw the serious expression on Shen Weiwei's face, so she gritted her teeth and put it back.
"Those cloths are not right." Shen Weiwei explained, the woman said it was waste cloth from the garment factory in the south, she thought so at first, but when those people searched, she found that these cloths were very good, especially the There are a lot of really good flower materials.
Nowadays, whether it is clothes or cloth, they are basically blue, gray, black and white, the more colorful the more expensive, and this kind of quality, even a simple shirt can be sold for more than ten yuan, the cost is high, how can there be so much? Scrap fabric for you?
Moreover, these cloths are neatly cut, not like the discarded corners of garment factories at all, but as if they were deliberately cut into pieces in order to prevent people from discovering their true origin.
When she said this, Du Xiaojuan found that it was abnormal after careful consideration.
She suddenly thought of the legend she had heard in her hometown, and trembled: "Sister-in-law, tell me, it can't be the clothes of dead... dead people, right?"
She had heard people say before that some people even stole and sold dead people's clothes in order to make money. "Not necessarily, it may be something else." Shen Weiwei actually has a guess, but it's not necessarily true, and I'll find out when I go and have a look tomorrow.
The more Du Xiaojuan thought about it, the more unlucky she felt, she quickened her pace and wanted to go back, but she was stopped by Shen Weiwei not long after she left. "What's wrong, sister-in-law?" She thought there was something wrong.
In the next second, Shen Weiwei said: "I have to go to the supply and marketing agency to buy something." Du Xiaojuan: "..." Sister-in-law, you really have a big heart.
--
Shen Weiwei is not big-hearted, but for her, there is nothing more important than eating meat now, especially when there are two little guys in their family who are waiting to be fed.
Nylon thread is not cheap now. Originally, she only had the ten yuan left by Xiao Juhua. After buying things before, she only had seven yuan left. Now, buying a handful of nylon thread will cost her almost all. .
"Sister-in-law, do you want to go fishing? Why don't you just buy a fishing net, this thread is not enough." Du Xiaojuan looked at the thread, thinking that she had made a mistake in the size.
"It's not net fishing."
There is a river here in the military area, and it's not small. In the past, anyone who wanted to eat fish would go to the river to get some, but as more and more people came, there were basically no fish in the river soon. up.
Coupled with the fact that there has been a lot of rain in recent years and the river is rushing, even if you go to the river with a fishing net, there is nothing to gain.
Shen Weiwei didn't think she was particularly lucky, she could catch fish that no one else could catch, so her goal at the beginning was not those fish in the river, but those shrimps, crabs and snails.
These things cannot be caught with fishing nets, but Shen Weiwei has seen it in later generations before. There is something called a shrimp cage, which is made of nylon thread and iron rods. Put a little bait inside, and the efficiency of catching shrimp and crab Very high.
There is no iron rod now, but bamboo slices can be used instead. She plans to go back and try to see if she can make it.
If this is successful, there will be no shortage of meat in the future.
The more Shen Weiwei thought about it, the more excited she became, and when she got home, she took out a pen and paper and started drawing.
Fortunately, she thought this shrimp pot was very miraculous before, and she studied it specially. It is not difficult to simply reproduce it, but the difficulty is the process of weaving the fishing net.
Li Changwei was away, so Du Xiaojuan had nothing to do at home alone. Hearing that she wanted to weave fishing nets, she came over to help as soon as the door was locked. The two of them worked until after ten o'clock before going to bed. They got up early the next morning and waited until the sky set. Only stopped when it was bright.
"This is almost the same, take it and try it first, if it doesn't work, then improve it."
There are many forms of shrimp cages, and now the materials are limited, so Shen Weiwei chose the simplest long cage shape, which usually has seven or eight cages Embedded together, once the shrimp and crab go in, it is very difficult to get out.
They did five this time, let's see the effect first.
The shrimp pot should be placed in a place where the water is relatively gentle. Shen Weiwei found a relatively hidden place beside a tributary. The branches can do a bit of shelter.
"Okay, come back at night to see how the result is."
--
Shen Weiwei went home and had breakfast, then went out to the village with a basket.
As soon as she left, Xiaoan ran out to play without saying a word. He had agreed with Niudan today that he would go to the mountain to catch earthworms. Niudan was to feed the chickens, and he was to eat crabs.
Yesterday his mother said that whether he can eat crabs in the future depends on how much bait he can catch. Although he doesn't like to work, as long as it has something to do with meat, he is very motivated!
I was working hard when I heard Niudan suddenly said mysteriously: "You know, my mother said that there are ghosts in our compound! It's still a female ghost!" "True or fake!" Although we are not allowed to discuss these now , but people are born with great curiosity about ghosts and ghosts, especially when there are five or six-year-old children here, they are immediately taken aback by the bluff.
"Of course it is true! It is said that a fairy said it, and said that the female ghost appeared in our compound a week ago. If we don't drive her out, we will all suffer!" Niudan said with eyes widened a little. The ability to tell nonsense is on his body, scaring a group of little radish heads into screaming.
But Xiao An didn't believe it at all.
a week ago? The only one who appeared in the compound a week ago was her mother. Although her mother was bad, she was not a female ghost. He had sneaked around at night when she was sleeping, and her hands were warm!
He didn't speak, but worked hard, and while everyone was discussing, he secretly put all the big earthworms in his basket.
--
By this time, Shen Weiwei had already arrived in the village.
The village here is close to the military area, and people often come to exchange things, so the villagers are not surprised to see her holding a basket. Shen Weiwei walked to Mrs. Liu's house, knocked on the door, and Mrs. Liu immediately pulled her in.
"Come and take a look, this is the best cloth in this batch. If it weren't for the little daughter-in-law, you are my favorite, I really can't bear it..." Mrs. Liu performed it as soon as she closed the door, and said a lot Dui looked back, only to find that Shen Weiwei hadn't come over at all.
What about people?
She hurried back and saw Shen Weiwei standing at the door staring at the eggs in the chicken coop, and said with great interest, "Aunt Liu, do you want to change the eggs?" Mrs. Liu: "..." Is this person stupid? Eggs are not as expensive as fabrics, so if you put such a good fabric, you are fascinated by eggs?
But she doesn't mind making some money: "Change, six cents each."
Shen frowned slightly: "No, it's too expensive, one quarter."
"That can't be done!" Four cents, even if it was received by the supply and marketing cooperative, it would be more than that, and she would lose a lot of money!
"Really?" Shen Weiwei turned his head and left, "Forget it, then I'll go to another place to ask before I come back..." "
No! I'll sell it for a quarter, fifty at most, no more!" She is now I was in a hurry to sell the fabric, but I couldn't make troubles, so I could only agree with heartache, thinking that I would find that person to make up the difference later!
"That's fifty."
Mrs. Liu thought she would go to see the fabric after buying eggs, but Shen Weiwei went to the vegetable garden again: "Auntie, your vegetables grow really well, why don't you change them for me too?" Order?"
Du Xiaojuan had eaten all the dishes before, and the supply and marketing cooperatives rarely bought them. Now that there are so many dishes, she doesn't want to miss them.
Mrs. Liu: Ahhh, this person is endless!
She was almost annoyed to death, but when she thought about her task, she could only suppress her anger and said, "Just tell me what you want, and I'll pick it for you." The basket was full, and when she gave the money at the end, Mrs. Liu lost her temper. Wei Wei's speed is well grasped, it belongs to the level that Mrs. Liu can't make money, but she can bear it.
Mrs. Liu nodded her head weakly: "Okay, you can give it."
After giving the money, Shen Weiwei smiled and said, "Okay, let's go and see the cloth."
Then Mrs. Liu cheered up and took her into the house Go, and boast about how good the fabric is while walking.
It's really good, it's much larger than yesterday's rags, and they're all good things, they don't look like the ones sold by the supply and marketing agency.
Mrs. Liu smiled smugly, she couldn't believe that Shen Weiwei could not be tempted like this.
Facts proved that Shen Weiwei did move, but it was not a heartbeat, but a direct action.
She didn't say a word of nonsense, she put the basket in a safe corner, and in the next second, she reached out and imprisoned Mrs. Liu's hands.
Mrs. Liu was startled: "You! What are you doing!"
"Nothing, I will hand you over to the police." Shen Weiwei was not trying to bluff, she walked out while talking, her posture scared Mrs. Liu to death.
"Why are you going to the Public Security Bureau! Let me go!" Mrs. Liu struggled desperately, but found that she couldn't move her hands at all.
She was completely dumbfounded. Didn't that person say that Shen Weiwei had been in a coma for four years, not long after she was discharged from the hospital? Aunt Liu thought she was a weak little daughter-in-law who could definitely handle it as an old woman, so today when the daughter-in-law said she would stay and take care of her She said no.
Only now did she find out that she couldn't even match Shen Weiwei's strength in one hand, and Mrs. Liu was shocked, and began to pretend to be crazy.
"Why did you go to the Public Security Bureau, don't you really understand? How did these clothes come from? You don't know?"
Mrs. Liu's expression changed, and then she pretended to be afraid and said: "Why did they come here? They were picked off from dead people. You can sue the police, tell me that at most you will be taught a few words, you, a military wife, will be severely punished for doing business in private!"
Now that you pay attention to defeating ghosts and snakes, it is not a felony to secretly sell dead people's clothes, and Mrs. Liu thought she would Frightened, but Shen Wei smiled and said: "You are wrong, these clothes should be stolen from the farm, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Liu's expression finally changed.
At first, Shen Weiwei also thought the same as Du Xiaojuan, thinking that it was a dead man's clothes, but after careful inspection, she found that it was not.
These fabrics are so good, no matter how they look at them, something is wrong. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally knows the origin of this thing, which is the farm next door.
They were all from the capital, and once they lost power, even their clothes were looted.
Although these clothes are valuable, they can't be sold openly. Some people thought of a bad way and cut them into fabrics to sell, but they didn't know how they ended up in Mrs. Liu's hands, and deliberately pretended to be dead people's clothes.
The living are harder to offend than the dead. Shen Weiwei exerted force in her hand, and the back molars of Mrs. Liu were so painful that she almost gnawed: "I say I say! It was Xiao Juhua who asked me to do it! She told me to sell these fabrics." Here it is!"
Xiao Juhua?
She hasn't left yet? !
