This problem is very serious.
It's not to say how expensive the electricity charge is. Just now, when we had dinner, I heard from Huang technician of the post office that the current electricity charge is 16.5%, which is not cheap at present. But without high-power appliances, normal families can't use a few kilowatt hours of electricity a year.
Even there are people in the town who only use two or three kilowatt hours of electricity a year. In other words, if they only use lighting, the annual electricity bill is less than 50 cents, which is more cost-effective than kerosene lamps.
But the problem is, Chen Fan has no money!
Although there are a lot of goods in his room, he doesn't even have a penny on him.
Don't say that he can change money. Today, he almost took a big pot of food for no reason. He didn't dare to change things for money. If he accidentally made a mistake, he confiscated everything and had no place to cry.
So we must make this problem clear. If the team pays for electricity, it can still be used. If you want to pay for electricity yourself, don't think!
Hearing what Chen Fan said, Jiang Lili was stunned for two seconds before she responded. She smiled and said, "Of course it's her own, but the electricity charge is not expensive. At one time, it was only 16.5 cents."
Chen Fan's face collapsed. "Forget it, I can't afford it."
Jiang Lili opened her eyes and blinked. This price is not expensive. As long as it is not wasted, it is only a few cents a year. How can it not be used?
Besides, with all the materials in his house, if you take some of them to the purchase station of the commune and sell them, you can get a few dollars. Isn't it so mean?
Then he thought that he had forgotten something, maybe even the purchase station, and smiled softly, "Are you worried about not having money?"
Chen Fan did not look embarrassed. He patted his pocket freely and said proudly, "No one in the genuine proletariat is poorer than me."
Jiang Lili's eyes suddenly turned to crescent moon. She has seen many boys with big heads. This is the first time she has seen such a man who frankly says she has no money, and it's not mean at all, but rather cute.
After following him into the room, Jiang Lili turned to look at the piles of goods and materials and said with a smile, "If you are poor, then there will be no poor people."
Chen Fan turned to look at her, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
Yes, I can joke.
Just a few days ago, when I first met her, the girl always kept her head down and her voice was so low that she could not hear without raising her ears. She wanted to be more introverted and introverted, but now she makes a little joke and makes great progress.
That's right. After all, she is a 17-year-old girl. It's just the time when her nature is lively. It's normal to show her nature when she relaxes.
Chen Fan picked up the thermos to pour water, but found that the teapot had already made tea, and it was still hot. He could not help turning his head and looking at her, "Did you make tea for me?"
Jiang Lili nodded, "I'll calculate the time. You should come back at about this time, and help you with the pouring in advance. The temperature should be just right now."
Chen Fan poured two bowls of water and said with a smile, "The temperature is just right. Come on, help me make tea, and I'll invite you to drink tea."
Jiang Lili smiled and sat on the other side of the table, took a drink from the tea bowl, then looked at the materials piled on the bamboo bed and said, "If you can't eat and use all these things, you can sell some."
"Sell?"
Chen Fan looked at her in surprise, "How? To whom?"
Jiang Lili smiled and said, "There are purchase stations in the commune, including old clothes, old furniture, old appliances, and some rural products, which they will accept."
"Acquisition station?"
Chen Fan blinked blankly. "Isn't that a place for collecting waste products? How can we collect agricultural products?"
Jiang Lili put down her tea bowl, looked at him and said with a smile, "You either forgot or didn't live in a small place, such as the purchase station, the sales agency and the supply and marketing agency, but everyone knows the three units that every member can't live without."
Then patiently explained, "In fact, the purchase station and the sales agency are the same as the supply and marketing cooperatives, but for the convenience of the people, they split two of them.
In addition to selling goods, supply and marketing cooperatives also have the task of purchasing some materials, so they have an internal purchasing department, which is different from the sales department.
On the one hand, in order to complete the acquisition task, on the other hand, it is also convenient for members of the production team. The supply and marketing cooperatives of the commune usually open the acquisition department to the production team to facilitate people to sell things. This is the acquisition station.
The waste station you mentioned is different from the purchase station. Although the purchase station also accepts second-hand goods, they must be usable. The purchase station does not accept waste paper, scrap iron, and waste equipment parts, but can only sell them to the waste station.
Other second-hand goods and agricultural products are the main targets of the purchase station. In the past, eggs can only be sold to the food station. Later, eggs are no longer scarce. The food station no longer manages eggs, and members can sell eggs to the purchase station.
In particular, some precious things, such as dried locust rice, can be sold for 21 yuan per kilogram for the first grade products, and 19 yuan per kilogram for the second grade products. Many commune members rely on selling locust rice for children to read. "
Chen Fan, who was entranced by the price, could not help but look surprised. "It's very high."
One jin of Huai rice is almost equal to the one month's salary of the apprentice. If we get more jin of Huai rice, wouldn't it be better than a part-time job?
As a result, Jiang Lili smiled angrily, "What? Of course, the price is high because it is precious. If it is the same as rice, it would be good to sell it for one dime per kilogram."
He then explained, "Sophora japonica can only be harvested once a year in a very short time, and also needs to be dried, so the harvest is even less. In addition, there are few Sophora japonica trees, so you can only take a chance to harvest Sophora japonica because you can't start early, and you will be picked later."
After a pause, she looked at Chen Fan and whispered, "That is to say, members are not prohibited from hunting, fishing, and picking wild goods. If it is in the first few years, these things must be handed in, and individuals cannot keep them. So no one picked the locust rice at that time, and the purchase station could not receive it. Later, we can release it, and then we can receive a little every year."
Chen Fan suddenly nodded, "I see."
He looked at Jiang Lili again, "What is a consignment point?"
Jiang Lili, "In fact, the consignment point is the snack bar. It is a small shop where the supply and marketing cooperatives cooperate with the production team, and the production team provides the site and supporting facilities, even the salesperson, and then the supply and marketing cooperatives provide materials, mainly to facilitate the production teams in remote areas, and sell small farm tools such as salt, soy sauce, vinegar, sickles, and scissors."
"That's right."
Chen Fan felt that he had found the new world, and then he was a little strange. "But I've been walking around in the team these two days, why haven't I seen it?"
Jiang Lili smiled slightly, "Coincidentally, Lujiawan's purchase station and sales agency are all in Team 10, because this side is close to the commune, so what you need to buy and sell, you can go directly to the commune, and that side is far away, so it is located there."
Chen Fan was speechless. It was really a coincidence. The farthest place he went was Team 9, which was just 20 minutes away.
