The receiver watched Wang An put the fur rolled into a barrel shape on the counter.

Said with a smile: "Little brother, are you planning to sell fur to marry a wife?"

The "performance" of Wang An and Mu Xueqing just now was seen by everyone in the supply and marketing cooperative.

Wang An didn't feel embarrassed when he heard it, and answered with a smile: "Yeah, big brother has good eyes. Then big brother, look, for the sake of me marrying a wife, you have to help, give these skins a good grade."

The receiver opened the thin hemp rope on the fur roll while stacking them together.

Then laughed loudly: "Easy to say, easy to say, that's not a thing."

The receiver picked up a pen, picked up a ruler, measured the lynx fur and said: "The basic price of this fur is 600, the length is one inch larger than the basic size, count as excellent, give you 630, how about it?"

"Okay, big brother, little brother trusts you, you just do it, no need to be so detailed, just say how much money."

In this era, counting too much is useless, buy or not, sell or not.

In the Northeast, although it is rare to see slogans like "No beating customers without reason" on the wall, receivers don't spoil customers either.

There is an acquisition price list posted on the counter facing the customer, Wang An read it several times and basically memorized it.

"That works, little brother is an open person. Haha."

Then the process accelerated a lot.

"Big fur (sable) 370," the basic price on the price list is 350 yuan.

"Fox fur 60, fox fur 60, fire fox fur 80," price list 60 yuan.

"Four complete yellow skins total 32, two broken ones total 9 yuan," price list 8 yuan.

"Nine complete gray dogs (squirrels) 18, four broken ones 4 yuan," price list 2 yuan.

Waited for a while, the receiver calculated the account with an abacus and handed Wang An a slip of paper: "Little brother, a total of 1263 yuan, you take the slip of paper to the middle financial area to get the money."

Wang An took the slip of paper and smiled: "Alright, thank you big brother." The receiver didn't speak and waved his hand.

Wang An led Mu Xueqing to the medicinal material counter and put the two bear gall bladders on the counter; the receiver was very silent, looking at the quality of the two bear gall bladders separately.

Picked up the stamp (special for weighing valuable items like gold, silver, ginseng, etc., equivalent to a balance) and weighed them separately.

Directly quoted: "Grass gall 210, iron gall 315, total 525."

Wang An directly answered: "Works, open the slip."

The receiver handed Wang An a slip of paper very quickly.

Came to the hardware area; in this era, the supply and marketing cooperative sells guns and also collects guns, but only collects long guns, because the country encourages hunting.

Wang An put the three guns of the three animals on the counter; the salesperson seemed a bit surprised, but didn't say anything, but carefully checked the parts and accessories of each gun one by one.

At this time, Wang An carefully read the sales price list posted in front of the counter, had a rough understanding of the prices of various guns in his heart, and memorized the prices of these guns he had.

A brand new Type 56 semi-auto is 1150 yuan, an old one is 950.

A brand new double-barrel shotgun is 550, an old one is 400.

A brand new single-barrel shotgun is 280, an old one is 180.

An old Mosin-Nagant is 650.

Couldn't help but sigh in his heart, guns are never cheap at any time.

After a good while, the salesperson finished checking and said: "Single-barrel shotgun 120, double-barrel shotgun 270, Mosin-Nagant 300."

Hearing the first two, Wang An nodded, but hearing Mosin-Nagant 300, Wang An couldn't help but say: "Comrade, why is this Mosin-Nagant so different?"

The salesperson said expressionlessly: "This gun is this acquisition price."

Wang An was conflicted; selling it would be too much of a loss, not selling it would be useless.

Wang An was conflicted when he felt someone pull his clothes; turned his head to look.

Saw Mu Xueqing say to him: "How about not selling this gun first, keep it for backup."

Wang An immediately agreed and said to the salesperson: "This Mosin-Nagant is not for sale, open the slip for the other two."

Took the slip, led Mu Xueqing to the financial area, took 2178 yuan, a full two stacks of big group photos and scattered big group photos, a huge sum of money,

Wang An felt that a happy life had begun; more than two thousand yuan, it really sold for a lot.

Whispered to Mu Xueqing: "Xueqing, why don't you seem surprised at all?"

Mu Xueqing didn't even think and asked back: "Didn't you say you were following an old cannon hunter to hunt in the mountains? Didn't you say you were also very fierce?"

"Did I say that?" Wang An couldn't help but ask himself.

Mainly because it had been too long, he had no impression at all of the words he said and the bragging he did when he was young in his past life.

Could only mumble a response, and then asked: "What's going on with your mother? Why did she agree to our business all of a sudden?"

Mu Xueqing blinked her beautiful big eyes: "I told my mother about you long ago, if you hadn't kept not coming, how could these things happen. By the way, if we hadn't met today, when were you planning to go to my house?"

Wang An's brain was running wildly; he couldn't say that I had been reborn, and the bragging and heroic words I said in my past life were all forgotten, and I didn't intend to go to your house to propose marriage in my past or present life.

Oh my go, this is going to kill me.

Panic in his heart, no expression change on his face: "I planned to collect some things to sell and save some money, then go to your house. It would be tomorrow or the day after."

"Humph, the introducer (matchmaker) said that Zheng Fei has been urging, either pay back the money or get married, I was about to die of anxiety, why didn't you beat Zheng Fei to death at the beginning, so annoying." Mu Xueqing frowned and seemed very unhappy.

Wang An said awkwardly: "Uh... beating him up is no problem, but if you really want to beat him to death, is it a bit not worth it."

Actually, what Wang An was embarrassed about was that in his past life, Mu Xueqing was forced to marry Zheng Fei like this, but the reason was his own inaction.

Hey, thinking of himself in his past life, still "heartbroken," still "helpless," still "lost his soul," really damn disgusted himself to vomit!

"Giggle... why are you so serious? Can I let you kill someone? Finished? Shall we go?" Mu Xueqing became happy again.

"Wait, with money, is it my personality not to spend it? Go, let's buy something delicious," Wang An led Mu Xueqing to the non-staple food area happily.

Wang An whispered to Mu Xueqing: "After solving your matter, let's get married, let's build a new house next spring."

Mu Xueqing blushed and just gave a light "humph."

Because many things need coupons, actually there are not many things that can be bought.

Canned food doesn't need coupons, 1.45 yuan a bottle, absolutely a luxury in this era, get a box, 12 bottles 17.4 yuan.

Malted milk doesn't need coupons, 2.85 yuan a can, the aristocrat among luxury goods, get a box, 12 cans 34.2 yuan.

Soda doesn't need coupons, 2 cents a bottle, bottle deposit 5 cents, get two bundles (tied with thin hemp rope, specially checked) 24 bottles 6 yuan.

Biscuits need coupons, 6 cents a jin with coupons, 9 cents a jin without coupons, fine grain coupons can be used instead of biscuit coupons, Wang An naturally couldn't bear it, get 10 jin 9 yuan.

All sugars need coupons, if you don't have coupons, they won't sell to you.

"Must find a place to buy some coupons, otherwise it's too damn exhausting to want to eat something." Wang An pondered silently.

15 jin of fine grain, get 10 jin of refined white flour, 5 jin of rice, white flour 1.8 cents a jin, rice 2.2 cents a jin, okay, buying rice and flour will give a small flour bag, and spent another 1 cent to buy two flour bags, otherwise there is no way to divide them later.

Finished, the rest of the things, can only look.

Thought about it, let's go, greeted Mu Xueqing, and the two walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative.
