Chapter 255 Buy 2 Coats(1/2)
The next day,
Luo Xuan got up around 4 a.m.
After knocking on the duty room of the youngest member Hei, Luo Xuan walked to the Qingxi River where the Frog Market is located, using the dim street lights to check out and refund the deposit.
Now Luo Xuan has developed a habit: no matter where he goes, he likes to visit and stroll around the frog market.
First, I wanted to know the price trends of various commodities.
Another point is that I plan to take a look and try to see if I can purchase some things I need.
As late autumn is approaching, winter will not be far behind.
Although Rongwei County is located in the central area of Bashu Province, it generally doesn’t snow much in winter.
When the weather is high, there will be frost, thick fog will appear, and paddy fields will be covered with a thin layer of ice.
The ice surface is so thin that even 5-thick glass is thicker than the ice surface.
However, the Xiaolaojun production team is located in a mountainous area, and it is also very cold in winter.
As the saying goes, "Snow hits the mountains and frost hits the plains."
The terrain of the Zhengxing Production Team is open and typical of semi-hilly and semi-mountainous areas. It rarely snows all year round.
But the Xiaolaojun production team, just a few dozen miles away, experiences several winter snows every year.
In winter, it was still very cold when I stayed in the mountains with my hunting team.
Luo Xuan is going to the market today to see if he can buy some cotton, cotton-padded jackets or something.
I have more than 30 sets of bedding in my space, so I don’t lack these things, but I don’t have any winter clothes.
The people in the hunting team also seriously lacked supplies to keep out the cold.
Taking advantage of this visit to the county, Luo Xuan planned to take the opportunity to get these things done.
This time when I went out, I encountered two patrol teams along the way.
But I had my travel certificate with me and I didn't have anything to sell, so I wasn't afraid of their interrogation.
When they arrived at the river, Luo Xuan had no intention of selling the Pipa fish.
through the last time,
Judging from the experience accumulated by myself and Liu Fugui when they came to sell goods in this market, the angler fish is aimed at a very niche customer base.
In the eyes of those who know the goods, they can be sold for a gold price.
But in the eyes of ordinary people, it is not as good as buying a carp and eating it back home.
Anyway, I don’t raise many Pipa fish, so I will rely on Liu Fugui and Fatty Gu to slowly sell them to me and make money slowly!
In fact, now I mainly make money from the mushrooms in the space.
With Director Zhong of the County Planning Commission as a big client, and Fatty Gu's catering service company, Mugu now has no worries about selling in his own space.
You can buy it every 2 or 3 days. A single mushroom sells for 1 yuan and 60 cents. It smells so good!
By the time Luo Xuan arrived at the frog market, there were already many people in the market.
Hundreds of torches made of bamboo poles soaked in kerosene decorated the river dam like stars.
If you encounter a crowded place with densely packed torches, it can barely be considered brightly lit.
Luo Xuan walked around and saw that most of the people were buying and selling ordinary items: there were many people selling eggs, duck gallbladder, goose eggs, broad beans, mung beans, dried sweet potatoes, corn, rice, and wheat.
Other groceries include old clothes, old radios that I don’t know where to get, teapots and thermos bottles, large iron pots and old kerosene stoves, even mirrors, combs and grates, glass bowls and glazed lamps...
There are people selling both valuable and worthless items.
In the agricultural and sideline products area over there, there are also people selling dustpans, baskets, bamboo chairs, and long benches and Eight Immortals tables.
There was no furniture in his own space, and he had money in his pocket anyway, so Luo Xuan spent 7 yuan to buy a bamboo recliner and a small bamboo cupboard.
Rejecting the stall owner's offer to deliver the goods for him, Luo Xuan carried the two items and headed into the darkness.
After placing the chairs and cupboards, I found a space to continue wandering around.
When Luo Xuan walked up to a man wearing a thick cotton coat, he couldn't help but be startled: Is he sick?
Although it was a bit chilly in the morning, this person was wearing two army green cotton coats!
Seeing Luo Xuan staring at him, the man didn't say anything.
At this moment, a passerby asked him, "Hey, how do you sell this military coat?"
The man said, "28 yuan a piece."
The passerby snorted, "What about robbing someone? A pound of cotton is only 1.7 yuan. Plus the fabric, how much does it cost to make a brand new coat?"
The man smiled slightly and said, "You have to be able to get so much fabric. Do you have enough fabric tickets?"
The passers-by shook their heads, their eyes actually full of reluctance for the two cotton coats, but they left after all.
A cotton coat costs 28 yuan, which is more than a month's salary for most people.
The price is indeed not cheap.
"What, little brother wants to buy a military coat?"
That person might not be doing well in business, so he stopped moving forward when he saw Luo Xuan.
So he took the initiative to ask Luo Xuan, "There are only two pieces in total, and they are 80% new! If you want them, we can give you a cheaper price."
This kind of military New Year's Eve coat is absolutely impossible to buy through regular channels.
Even if I visit all the supply and marketing cooperatives, I still can't buy one.
But if you have enough fabric and cotton on hand, go to a sewing service agency and pay a higher processing fee.
In a sewing service club, you can make a high-quality imitation cotton coat based on the style of this military cotton coat.
However, there are still differences between genuine and high-quality imitations in details.
Especially the genuine military coats, which have five-pointed star-shaped buttons, which can never be made in a sewing service club.

p; therefore,
This kind of real military cotton coat is relatively expensive in the frog market.
Luo Xuan thought for a while and asked him how much it cost?
"I think you have a good eye. I'll give you 27 yuan for each piece. How about it?"
The man said, "Little brother, I don't think you are a poor person. If you buy one and give it to the elders in your family, you will definitely get their praise."
Luo Xuan stepped forward and carefully inspected the military coat with the help of the torch in the man's hand.
I saw that these two coats were indeed quite new, and there were no signs of wear or holes on them.
So Luo Xuan counter-offered: "Two pieces cost 48 yuan. I bought them both, so you don't have to stand here waiting."
"Little brother, your bargaining is too harsh, isn't it?"
The man said, "I'm in a hurry to go back, so let's do it, 2 pieces for 52 yuan."
After some haggling.
In the end, Luo Xuan bought these two military coats for 50 yuan..c0m
Holding the coat in his arms, Luo Xuan walked to a remote corner of the market, stepped into the space, and placed the two coats in the space.
In winter, this cotton coat can be worn as clothes and as a quilt when sleeping at night.
It's worth spending 50 yuan.
When the time comes, it would be a good choice to use these coats as prizes to reward outstanding members of the hunting team.
In fact, in this era, buying old clothes to wear is a very common thing.
Especially in rural areas, it is very common for people to buy used clothes discarded by urban residents.
There are also many hawkers who sell this kind of used clothes, and some of them were eventually arrested because of "throwing in a few bad things".
After putting away his coat, Luo Xuan stepped out of the space and wandered around the market again.
In the end, I bought a total of 33 kilograms of cotton from two lint sellers.
Cotton during this period was a strategic material and was very difficult to buy.
After the production team receives the purchasing task from above, it will plan the land for planting cotton according to the quantity required by the superiors.
When the cotton picking season comes, the production team must collect the cotton that meets the standards.
If you don't keep a pound, turn it all in.
The production team will never be allowed to keep it privately.
Even when members of the production team select unqualified seed cotton, a large number of dedicated personnel will be sent to watch over the members' selection of cotton.
