Chapter 89 I Want to Upgrade

Chapter 89 I Want to Upgrade
You know what, there really was one. Gu Wan wanted to buy some cloth but unfortunately he didn’t have any cloth coupons.

But now, she had a new way to get some scraps of cloth.

This is what Gu Wan thought of yesterday evening when he saw his grandmother and the others working hard to make a jacket but still not having enough scraps of cloth.

Because Gu Wan is working in the commune now, even though it is just a small kitchen, she is directly serving the leaders, so she is very popular in the commune.

Just like the sales clerks and waiters in the supply and marketing cooperatives and restaurants, they interact with each other and have a good relationship.

Gu Wan would take out the spiced eggs she had stockpiled in the red envelope group and give them to them to eat, and she could also get some so-called defective products from them that did not require tickets.

Those are all internal products, they have nothing to do with the company, and ordinary members outside certainly can’t buy them.

The last time she went to a restaurant and learned that the chef was making a new dish, she was warmly received by them. And then, Gu Wan directly told the chef of the restaurant a recipe for the marinade.

The uncle told Gu Wan without hiding anything: "I have a fellow villager whose son is capable of being a cadre in the county town. Now he has been sent to work as a security guard in a garment factory. Their garment factory will have a lot of scraps of cloth. You just need to give him a little benefit."

After a pause, the uncle continued, "In fact, the garment factory has to dispose of those scraps anyway, so you don't need a lot. Give him a few eggs or a pack of cigarettes and he will give you a big bag."

This is an invisible benefit. In fact, it is not only available in garment factories, but also in food factories and other units.

It just so happened that this uncle's fellow villager worked as a security guard in a garment factory and knew this trick. This is also one of the reasons why living in a county town is more beneficial than living in the countryside. They have more ways to obtain more various welfare benefits.

Isn’t Comrade Qi Bin going to the county town?

We could just go to the garment factory and forget about the eggs. Gu Wan thought it would be enough to buy the security guard a pack of cigarettes at 1 cent a box.

But when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she remembered that she needed cigarette coupons to buy cigarettes, and she couldn't buy them without them.

It's over. This approach is blocked. If she were to deliver the eggs, she couldn't take them out of the cabinet in front of others.

Qi Bin noticed that Gu Wan was hesitant to speak, so he took the initiative to ask: "Just tell me what difficulties you have, whether it's not enough money or tickets, I can lend them to you first."

After all, the two of them don't have a direct relationship now, so even if Qi Bin thinks that there is no problem in giving what he says he has to the other party.

But considering Gu Wan's reputation, he could only say it was a loan, and as for when to return it, that was not even an issue.

Hearing him say this, Gu Wan directly told him what he wanted to do, and then said: "Can you get the cigarette tickets? Don't worry, I will definitely return it to you. If I can't get the cigarette tickets, I can make up for it with other things of equal value."

Watches, watches, Gu Wanlei, after receiving such an expensive gift, she was afraid that she would have to put the item up for sale in the system mall as soon as possible.

Otherwise, she would feel uncomfortable. It was also because she had never seen Qi Bin smoking before that she asked this question specifically.

Gu Mingfeng and his family smoke dry tobacco at home. Thinking of this, Gu Wan felt that he should get some cigarette coupons to let his grandparents, father and uncles enjoy it.

This is easy. Qi Bin's comrades definitely have it. "I can ask my friends to exchange it. It's not so convenient to get vegetables in the county town. Ask your aunt to prepare some eggs and I'll send them to him."

So it was agreed that Qi Bin rode his bicycle to the county town, while Gu Wan took Huang Chunlan to the small kitchen of the commune.

Huang Chunlan continued to work very hard, and Gu Wan had an easy day at work as well. After work, he even had some free time to secretly check his phone by himself.

At present, the main focus is on buying the welfare products in the red envelope group. In addition, Gu Wan is also desperately researching how to upgrade so that he can sell the things stored in the warehouse?
In the afternoon, Qi Bin came back and gave her a surprise, two large woven bags. "Are they all scraps of cloth?"

"One bag is relatively broken, and the other bag is filled with palm-sized strips of cloth." Qi Bin smiled and deliberately said, "I wonder if Comrade Xiao Gu is satisfied?"

Of course, Qi Bin spent more than just a pack of ten-cent cigarettes. He borrowed cigarette coupons from his comrades and bought a pack of thirty-cent cigarettes.

The security guard was very happy. In his words, "I don't smoke such good cigarettes myself. My son will definitely be happy if I take them back."

Therefore, the security guard gave some special instructions so that Qi Bin could carry two bags of good things.

After dinner, Gu Wan spread a mat on the ground, then emptied out the two bags of cloth and piled them there to check.

Not only Shi Guixiang, but all the women in the old Gu family were stunned.

There was a bag that was not just scraps of cloth. Those bits of cloth could be put together to make clothes.

Of course, Gu Wan couldn't do that, mainly because these scraps of cloth were of different sizes and colors, and it would be inappropriate to piece them together to make clothes and wear them out.

The women were all very happy and helped Gu Wan to sort the scraps of cloth according to size and color.

These scraps of cloth came in several colors and different prints. Gu Wan picked and chose a bunch of pieces with similar colors and patterns.

The best needleworker in the family is my grandmother and my aunt. Gu Wan directly said to Dong Xiu'e:
"Aunt, use these to help me sew a bag. Spread all the joints on the reverse side flat on both sides and sew two lines to secure them. It's a bit like walking a double line. Use this method to make a woven bag. Aunt, help me make one as a demonstration. I'll take it as a favor and see if I can get a few more bags of milk powder in return."

Of course Dong Xiu'e agreed repeatedly, saying that what their eldest son lacked most at the moment was milk powder.

In fact, Li Huihui's body has been almost healed, but she has no milk, and the baby's appetite gets better as he grows older.

At the beginning, the bag of milk powder that Gu Wan brought back could last for about ten days if he was frugal.

But now, a bag of milk powder can only last for six or seven days at most.

In the words of the child's aunt, drinking the drink too dilute has no nutrition and is not good for the child's health.

I couldn’t afford to drink too much, so the second bag of milk powder I drank was also bought by Gu Wan.

Now hearing her eldest niece say this, Dong Xiu'e was so happy.

She knew that her eldest niece would not treat them unfairly. She arranged a temporary job for the second eldest sister's wife only because there was only one vacancy in the family.

Gu Wan’s plan was to make one first to try it out, and if it worked, then make more.

Anyway, she can stock up more goods, and she believes that she can put the goods on the system mall for sale as soon as possible.

Things like the thousand-layer cloth shoes made by grandma and the handmade woven bags made by her aunt for her definitely cannot be sold at a special price of one yuan.
