Chapter 18 Supply and Marketing Cooperatives

However, there is no way to compare the population of the communes here with that of the mainland. Before the soldiers of the Corps entered northern Xinjiang.

The development of agriculture and animal husbandry in northern Xinjiang is no different from primitive society. Herders live on grass and have little ability to prevent natural disasters.

Not to mention farmers. Basically, you just dig a hole and bury the seeds, and God has the final say on the rest.

After the Corps entered Xinjiang, it not only vigorously developed agriculture and animal husbandry on its own. It also actively helps people develop their economy.

Now the people in various places are supported by the soldiers of the Corps. Life has also been greatly improved.

Advanced farming methods, quality livestock breeds. Let the people of northern Xinjiang say goodbye to the days of not having enough clothes to wear and not having enough to eat.

In addition, a large number of people from the mainland also came here with their families. Because there is so much land here, there is no need to worry about not having enough to eat.

Because of age and some other reasons. The Corps has not expanded its personnel since 1974. Therefore, the people who came later were assigned to local areas.

Become members of communes and production teams together with local ethnic minority people.

Like the mainland system, they also adopt a work-point system. Dividends are distributed based on output value at the end of the year.

Life was going well. But compared to the corps soldiers. Naturally, the situation is different.

Yang Geyong took Ye Yuze to the supply and marketing cooperative, which was the store in later generations.

However, supply and marketing cooperatives at that time were all state-owned. From a local perspective, being an employee in a supply and marketing cooperative is a very high-level thing.

The supply and marketing cooperative is a house with three rooms connected together. There is also a warehouse in the back.

But at this time, the warehouse is probably just a decoration. Because there were only some goods sparsely placed on the shelves in front.

Relatively speaking, there are more various agricultural tools. After all, production is the most important thing.

Ye Yuze and the others naturally have no interest in farm tools. They went directly to where the skates were.

To be honest, Ye Yuze really likes this thing. But it's not an obsession. After all, two lives are human beings. Mentally, he is no longer a child.

The saleswoman is a woman with some freckles on her face.

He didn't even care about their arrival. Just staring affectionately in front of a small mirror.

It seems that the freckles will disappear after looking at them for a long time.

"Comrade, please show me that skate."

Yang Geyong imitated an adult and said to the salesperson.

However, there was no response from anyone. Continue to stare at the mirror in a daze. It was as if Ye Yuze and the others were regarded as air.

"Sister, could you please show us the skate?"

Ye Yuze also said something. I don’t know if this sister’s words played a role.

The salesperson finally turned around. He said indifferently:

"If you can't afford it, don't watch it. It's national property. Can you afford to pay for it if it's damaged?"

"How do you know we can't afford it?"

Yang Geyong's temper was not very good, and he would quarrel with others with his eyes wide open.

Ye Yuze quickly pulled him. Keep acting cute.

"Sister, we really want to buy it. Just show it to us!"

The salesperson finally and reluctantly ended her narcissistic mode. Walk over and pick up a pair of skates. He fell heavily in front of the two people.

Yang Geyong didn't care about other people's attitudes when he got the skates. Keep gesticulating. I still want to try it under my feet.

The salesperson shouted sternly, "Don't put it on the ground. I won't sell it if it's dirty!"

Yang Geyong was frightened all of a sudden, holding the ice skate there in a daze. Don't know what to do.

Because the shoe support of the skate blade is also made according to the size of the shoe. Although the scope of application is wider. But there is always a category.

For children of Ye Yuze's age. Don’t gesture with your shoes. Don't really know the size.

Ye Yuze took the ice skate from his hand. Place it directly on the ground and step on it with your feet.

The salesperson's expression suddenly changed, and while shouting, he was about to rush out from the counter.

Ye Yuze gave her a cold look. "Tell me, how can I know if it's suitable or not if I don't try it?"

The salesperson shouted: "The number is written on it! Don't you know what size shoes you wear?"

Ye Yuze shook his head, "My shoes are all made by my mother. They don't have any sizes! Why don't you come and measure them for me to see what size my shoes are?"

The salesperson was stunned. In fact, at that time, most people did make their own shoes.

Except, of course, the Corps. Because they are all wearing military uniforms and liberation shoes. Even the children have a lot of Jiefang shoes.

Because the Corps has its own quilt factory and shoe factory. It's basically a rationing system, although it's also paid for. But that's all symbolic.

However, for salespersons, it is also their responsibility to help customers measure the sizes of shoes and clothes.

It's just that the people who can work as salespersons in this era are basically people with backgrounds.

The supply and marketing cooperative is the only supply channel for all commodities.

So most people are somewhat fawning over them. This is so that they can let them know when there is something good.

After all, supplies are scarce, and many things are more wolf than meat. At this time, making good friends with the salesperson is the wisest choice.

This creates a superiority mentality among sales clerks. So when I meet most people, they don't bother to smile and flatter me.

Ye Yuze's words hit home, no matter how awesome she is. But the identity is a salesperson after all.

If a customer is buying something and doesn’t know their size. The salesperson must give the amount.

If there is a fuss over this matter, this supply and marketing cooperative has a leader. As a salesperson, she will definitely be criticized.

But if she was asked to measure shoes for Ye Yuze and the others, she would definitely not be happy.

The two walked all the way from the infrastructure company to here on the snow. You know, the main road is cleaned by someone.

At that time, the roads were all dirt roads with a layer of stones on top. It is impossible that there is no mud on the shoes after walking all the way.

Ask her to take a ruler to measure these two pairs of muddy feet. She would not do it even if she was beaten to death.

Seeing that she did not move, Ye Yuze put the ice skates on the ground to try. And asked Yang Geyong to try it too.

After the two tried it, in fact, this pair was suitable. After all, the salesperson must have taken it according to their age.

Ye Yuze picked up the ice skates and put them on the counter.

"Salesperson, give me another pair of this size! Wrap it up!"

After saying that, he took out the money and prepared to pay.

The salesperson was full of surprise. "Since this size is suitable, why do you need another pair?"

Ye Yuze pouted in disdain. "This is too dirty. It's all mud. Who wouldn't buy new ones?"

"But you stepped on it and made it dirty!" The salesperson argued.

Ye Yuze nodded. "Yes, we stepped on it and made it dirty. But I don't buy dirty ones!"

"You...!"

The salesperson's face turned purple. The few freckles became more conspicuous.

But in the end, he didn't say anything and handed over a new one.

"What do you want?" Ye Yuze looked at Yang Geyong.

During the new book period, everyone is welcome to collect and recommend.
