V1.Chapter 32 (1/2)

”Aren't butterflies produced by Shangdu cigarette factory? How can they be out of stock?”

A cigarette is only 3.5 yuan. Xia Xiaolan can't afford it.

Although she has far more insight than 30 years of the times, she doesn't know anything about the cigarette market in 83. Tobacco is monopolized by the state. Take ”color butterflies” for example. There is a fixed number of ”color butterflies” produced by Shangdu cigarette factory every year. The ”color butterflies” produced are not sold in Shangdu city or even the whole province, but distributed all over the country. It is difficult for Shangdu people to buy the ”color butterflies” produced by Shangdu cigarette factory.

If you want to buy it, you have to find a relationship and increase the price! It's hard for people in commercial capital to buy one or two packs of snacks. Xia Xiaolan wants one. There's no ”article” for buying cigarettes now. Unless the government department holds a meeting and has the special approval of the leaders, they can buy tight cigarettes in the unit of article.

The ”big front door” produced in Shanghai stock market is also 0.35/box. Uncle Xia Xiaolan smokes this cigarette and has great face in Qijing village‘ The great front door is also famous throughout the country, after all, it is destructed opium in Shanghai stock market. However, Xia Xiaolan can buy ”big front door” in the commercial capital, but she can't buy ”colorful butterflies”... Tobacco reselling must make a lot of money. Xia Xiaolan had this idea in her mind and couldn't hold it down.

Hundreds of thousands of cases of cigarettes a year are scattered all over the country. Cigarettes are an industry with very regional characteristics. In addition to several major brands of particularly hard ”famous cigarettes”, people everywhere have their own preferences for whatever cigarettes they smoke. Shangdu people recognize the three brands of Shangdu cigarette factory, and the cities around Shangdu may like their local real estate. People in the commercial capital can't buy ”Caidie”, and the ”Caidie” may be in a state of unsalable in other places.

What about taking back the ”colorful butterflies” rationed to other places and selling them all?

Xia Xiaolan was dizzy.

”Do you still buy cigarettes?”

When the salesperson called her back, Xia Xiaolan nodded, ”then bring me a big front door.”

There is a big front door.

However, Xia Xiaolan doesn't have a cigarette ticket. The price of cigarettes is 0.35 yuan / box. Although she wants 50 cents a box, it's still because the output of ”daqianmen” is large, otherwise she won't want to buy it at all.

Xia Xiaolan took a long time to calm down with the cigarette She bought after wearing out her mouth.

Yes, tobacco makes too much money, but she has to find a way. It's not a private business. There has to be an official. Xia Xiaolan can't do it in a short time, which doesn't mean she can't know these characters all the time. Let's start with Hu Yongcai.

The original purpose was to find a buyer for Monopterus albus, but it doesn't mean that she can only sell Monopterus albus all the time.

Xia Xiaolan rode her bike to the West.

Earlier, the western suburb was a wasteland, but after the 1950s, large national cotton, grinding wheel, coal machine, printing and dyeing and other industrial plants successively settled in the western suburb of Shangdu. The Shangdu municipal Party committee decided to build a new office building in the western suburb. Since the office location has changed, we have to build a municipal Party committee hostel by the way. In 63, the municipal Party committee guest house building was repaired. Now, 20 years later, the appearance of the guest house has remained good. A circle of colonnades has been added around the 5-storey building, and the roof eaves are overhauled, making the whole building staggered. With glazed tiles and carved flowers on the top, it is exquisite in the atmosphere.

This place has been developed for twenty or thirty years. It is not as desolate as Xia Xiaolan thought. It is just that the old business capital people are used to calling it the ”western suburb”, which is different from the center of the old city. Of course, there is no lively snack street and farmers' market here. Those who come to the municipal Party Committee Guest House are serious unit employees and government staff if they are not for meetings or tolerance.

Xia Xiaolan came by on a bicycle without a letter of introduction. No matter how beautiful she was, she was dressed up as a farmer.

The hostel did not say that farmers would not be allowed in, but without a letter of introduction, there was no need to think about eating and accommodation. It was impossible. Xia Xiaolan said she came to find relatives. The people at the hostel asked her to wait at the back door.

After a while, a short man in his thirties came out of the back door. He was no different from the people Xia Xiaolan had seen in this era, except that he was very fat. Everyone has no oil and water in their stomach. In 83, there were many thin people and few fat people. It is worthy of being purchased by the municipal Party Committee Guest House. It is a fat job.

When your face is fat, your eyes are small.

Hu Yongcai stared at the big mung bean. He was stunned that he didn't know when he had a relative of Xia Xiaolan.
