Chapter 65: Buying Things at a Sales Agency (2)

Liu Weida stared at Song Cenyue, amazed by her beauty. Song Cenyue also stared at him inconspicuously.

When she came in earlier, she noticed him counting items on the shelf with his back to them, and she thought at that time that he was obviously the salesperson at this outlet.

Now he turned his head, with an ordinary face, looking quite young, probably in his early twenties.

I heard that being a salesperson in a supply and marketing cooperative was a very good job at that time. Even if you had to work in the countryside, many people envied you.

Although the salary was not particularly high, only about 30 yuan a month, materials were extremely scarce in that era, and many things could not be bought even if you had money and tickets. However, the salespersons in the supply and marketing cooperatives could buy what they wanted because they worked in the supply and marketing cooperatives.

When some scarce goods come out, they can buy them first, and once they have bought them, others will not be able to buy them.

Moreover, as employees of the supply and marketing cooperative, they enjoy internal preferential prices and can also buy defective products at low prices. These are benefits that outsiders cannot enjoy.

So many people tried their best to get into the supply and marketing cooperatives.

"Hello, comrade! What would you like to buy?" Liu Weida showed Song Cenyue an extremely warm smile and asked attentively.

Without waiting for Song Cenyue to answer, he opened his mouth and asked again: "I haven't seen you before, are you a new educated youth?"

"Yes." Song Cenyue nodded gently, "We need to buy a pair of wooden barrels, a shoulder pole, two ropes to tie the barrels, a sickle, a hoe, a shovel, and two baskets."

"Okay, okay. I have all the things you want, but there are so many of you, and I don't know if I have enough. Let me count." Liu Weida nodded with a smile, walked around the counter, and started counting where the farm tools were placed.

As he counted, Song Cenyue followed his eyes and also counted the number of farm tools they wanted.

Fortunately, it was just enough for them. There were six of them, and the farm tools they needed were just enough for them, and they even had one extra bucket.

"Fortunately, there are enough for you all to buy." Liu Weida finished counting and smiled at Song Cenyue and the others.

"Great, may I ask what are the prices of the farm tools we want? We don't have tickets, only money, can we buy them?" He Xiaolu smiled happily and asked.

"You don't need tickets for these farm tools. You can buy them if you have money." Liu Wei nodded and introduced the prices: "A hoe is 1.2 yuan a piece, a shovel is 1.1 yuan a piece, and a shoulder pole is 83 yuan a piece...

A bucket is two yuan each, so two buckets are four yuan. A basket is one yuan and ten cents each, so two are two yuan and twenty cents.

The long rope is one dollar, and the shorter one is 73 cents. You can buy the shorter one, which is enough. The total cost of two ropes is one dollar and 46 cents. There are also sickles. The sickles are 63 cents each. This is the cheapest. "

"Look, how much does it cost to buy all of this?" Su Dawei started to calculate.

The other educated youths also started to calculate. Song Cenyue was the fastest and was the first to figure it out: "The total is eleven yuan and forty-two cents."

"Oh my god, so much money!" He Xiaolu frowned and cried out. She only had the educated youth subsidy from the government, and now she had to spend 11 yuan and 42 cents to buy farm tools, which was equivalent to spending half of it. It was really painful.

The other educated youth had subsidies from above as well as money from their families, so when they heard it would be more than eleven yuan, they thought it was okay and didn't say anything. Song Cenyue had even more money, but she didn't think eleven yuan was a lot of money and thought it was okay. However, she knew He Xiaolu's situation and knew she was short of money. It would be very stressful for her to spend so much money at once.

After thinking for a while, Song Cenyue said, "How about this, Xiaolu, we can buy some farm supplies together. For example, buckets and baskets, as well as ropes and shoulder poles, we can buy them together. I think it's not easy to meet a team leader who wants us to pick something together. If we meet one, we can borrow from Xu Zhiqing and others, so we can save some money.

As for sickles, hoes, shovels, etc., everyone may need them at any time. If they need to be used together, it will be difficult to borrow them, so let's buy our own."

The bucket, basket, rope and shoulder pole cost a total of eight yuan, forty-nine cents. If she and He Xiaolu bought them together, He Xiaolu could save four yuan, twenty-four cents and interest, which would reduce a lot of pressure.

I asked her if she had ever thought about lending money to He Xiaolu to buy it, or giving her the money directly to buy it. Even if she wanted to help someone, this wasn't the way to do it.

If you borrow money, you have to pay it back. For He Xiaolu, having more debt is also a pressure.

Moreover, He Xiaolu did not borrow money from her, which means she had no intention of doing so.

As for paying for it directly for He Xiaolu, she and He Xiaolu are not that close yet. Moreover, paying for it for He Xiaolu might make He Xiaolu form a dependent mentality, and she would expect her to pay for it for her in the future. That is definitely not okay.

So buying together is the best idea. It can help He Xiaolu and save some money for yourself.

"Okay, okay, Cen Yue, your idea is great!" He Xiaolu was very happy and nodded in agreement.

Buying some farm tools with Song Cenyue can save more than four dollars, which is undoubtedly a good thing for me.

She knew that Song Cenyue was rich and fully capable of buying all the necessary farm tools by herself. She would share some of the purchases with her because she must have known her situation and wanted to take care of her.

Song Cenyue is so nice!

A real fairy!

Not only does she look like a fairy, she also has a kind heart like a fairy.

Although she sometimes appears a little aloof and difficult to approach, she is actually a warm-hearted person.

"Let's do it this way!" Song Cenyue said.

"Would you male educated youth like to learn from us and buy some farm tools together to save some money?" Song Cenyue looked at several male educated youth.

None of the male educated youth were short of money, so they looked at each other and shook their heads together.

"I'd better buy the whole set." Meng Jiang said.

"I'll buy the full set myself...it's more convenient for one person to have the full set." Xu Xiaopeng said.

“I also think it’s better for us to buy our own. We have enough money... If we each buy our own, we will have four sets of buckets and baskets. You can borrow from us in the future and we will have extra to lend you. This way, we can avoid buying together and only have two sets of buckets and baskets. When you borrow from us later, we may not have enough for ourselves and have no extra to lend to you.” said Yu Jiahui.

"Yeah." Su Dawei nodded.

"Okay, thank you. Each of you can buy one set together, so it will be convenient when we need to borrow one." He Xiaolu said with a smile, and Song Cenyue nodded.
