Chapter 27 The cigarette tickets are divided into A and B, plus one for crying
"Okay, I want these two pounds of candy tickets."
"Ah! You want them all?" The middle-aged man obviously said I don't believe it.
No way, who makes Li Jiayi too young! You can't let others believe it.
“Yes, I want both.” After speaking, Li Jiayi took out two dollars from his schoolbag and handed it over.
No matter how much you say, money is not as convincing. Now that money is in front of you, middle-aged people can only believe it.
I paid the money, took the candy coupons, and put them directly into my schoolbag. In fact, they had already been put into the space.
In fact, there is only one kind of sugar stamp, called a sugar stamp, with the quantity written on it. The maximum is five kilograms per piece, and the minimum is one tael per piece.
As for what kind of candy to buy with candy tickets, it depends on the individual. Needless to say, if you have money, you will definitely buy White Rabbit toffee.
Those who have no money will buy some hard fruit candies if necessary, such as getting married or something.
Of course, if you really don’t want to buy candy bars, you can also buy some white sugar or brown sugar.
“Don’t you want these food stamps?” the middle-aged man asked.
"I'm sorry, I don't want local food stamps. If you have national food stamps, I want as many as you have."
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I don't have national food stamps. . ”
In fact, it’s not that Li Jiayi doesn’t want local food stamps, but because local food stamps have an expiration date.
It must be used up within the month, otherwise it will be invalid. He doesn't eat out much, so why does he need so many local food stamps?
I can buy some food for my family, but is he short of food?
So the local food stamps are of little use to him, just having some in hand will do.
Besides, national food stamps are not much more expensive than local food stamps, only five cents more per pound.
Next, Li Jiayi continued to buy tickets in the pigeon market. His purpose was very clear, national food stamps, sugar stamps, and also liquor stamps, especially good liquor stamps.
It's a pity that after walking around, I didn't come across anyone who had traded wine tickets.
Yes, the status of a person who can get a good drink ticket must not be simple. How could a person with such status come to Pigeon Market.
So the only things he bought were candy stamps and national food stamps.
“Don’t miss it when you pass by, wild boar meat is eighty cents a pound.”
While counting the tickets in the space with his mind, he shouted to sell the meat.
Little comrade, give me a pound. "
"I want two pounds. "
"Okay, come one by one. ”
Li Jiayi was talking while collecting money to get meat.
At the same time, the tickets in the space were also counted clearly. The sugar stamps totaled thirteen kilograms, and the national food stamps fifty Seven pounds.
To be honest, this is already a lot, especially candy coupons, which are extremely scarce supplies!
It can even be said to be a strategic material.
Yes, you read that right, sugar can be used as a strategic material.
Feeling that a lot had been sold, Li Jiayi quickly moved the basket to another place.
The house pigeon market is big enough. If you change it to a few more places, you can avoid others being suspicious.
It's just that the efficiency of selling pork is a little lower. If he didn't keep changing places, he could at least sell twice as much.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jiayi left the pigeon market with a basket in hand.
Normally, there is still some time before dark at this time, so he can continue to sell.
But he is going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something. Pigeon Market can go early and late, but the supply and marketing cooperative cannot!
Everyone has to go to get off work on time. It doesn't matter if they open the door one minute earlier and close the door one minute later.
After all, if you sell more and sell less, you will get so much money.
This is just like eating from a big pot in rural areas. If you work a lot, you will still eat a lot, and if you work a little, you will still eat a lot.
In this case, who is willing to do more!
First find a place where no one is around to put the basket away, and then Li Jiayi runs to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative.
If he had bought this from the supply and marketing cooperative where his home is located, he would have gone home from get off work long ago. "Comrade, I'm buying candy." After arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Jia said to the salesperson.
“What kind of candy should I buy?”
Li Jiayi pointed to the jar on the shelf and said, “I’m buying White Rabbit Milk Candy.”
Yes, White Rabbit Milk The candy was in a jar and looked very high-end.
The salesperson glanced at Li Jiayi and said: "They are sold by cans, but there are loose ones here."
"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment and asked, "How much is that can?"
"Five kilograms."
"How much is it?" Li Jia asked.
“A five-pound jar of candy coupons adds eighteen yuan.”
“Eighteen? Shouldn’t five pounds be worth seventeen and a half yuan?”
Three yuan and a half a pound, five pounds is exactly seventeen and a half yuan.
And it is said to be in bulk, but actually it is opened in whole cans and then sold at retail.
"Three yuan a pound is in bulk, and a jar costs eighteen yuan. To tell you the truth, this jar costs fifty cents."
"That's it! Then give it to me. Ten pounds."
"Ten...ten pounds?" The salesperson looked at Li Jiayi in surprise.
This is White Rabbit Milk Candy! Let’s not talk about whether there are ten kilograms of candy coupons or not. The money alone is thirty-six yuan!
What is the concept of thirty-six yuan? According to the six types of areas in the imperial capital, the salary of a first-level blacksmith, miller, and fitter is thirty-three yuan.
The eighth-level cook only pays 35.5 yuan, which is equivalent to buying ten pounds of sugar, which is 50 cents more than the monthly salary of an eighth-level cook.
No wonder that in this era, White Rabbit Milk Candy only produces 800 kilograms a day, but it has never been sold out.
I am really reluctant to sell it!
Not to mention ordinary working-class people, even some leaders and others may not be willing to buy it.
After all, where is the salary amount!
“Yes, ten kilograms.”
In order to avoid wasting time with the salesperson, Li Jiayi quickly took out ten kilograms of candy coupons and four big black tens.
“Okay, I’ll get it from you.”
Seeing the money and tickets on the counter, the salesperson's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.
Needless to say, she treated Li Jiayi as the child of some leaders.
Except for the children of leaders, no ordinary family can spend so much money and candy tickets at once.
Soon the salesman came over with two cans of White Rabbit toffee, placed them in front of Li Jiayi and said, "I'll ask you for the money first."
"Don't ask for it yet, I'll ask you for it first." Buy two cigarettes.”
In the past few days, he planned to go to his grandfather's house to send money to his grandfather. Now that he had gone, how could he be empty-handed.
So he planned to bring two cigarettes to Grandpa, of course to the front door.
This is not to say that Li Jiayi cannot afford better ones, but in Grandpa’s eyes, the big front door is full of good smoke.
If he dares to buy China or Greater China, it would be strange if Grandpa doesn’t go crazy.
“Okay, what cigarette do you want?”
"Let's go to the front door!"
The salesperson quickly brought two large front doors and said: "Two Class B cigarette tickets, seven yuan."
"What do you mean? Why do I need a ticket? "Really?" Li Jiayi looked at the salesperson in surprise and asked.
“Starting from August 1st, you will need a cigarette ticket to buy cigarettes of both grades A and B.”
Li Jiayi scratched his head and was speechless, because on August 1st It's only been a week.
In other words, if he bought it a week ago, he would not need a ticket.
PS: Love is always the same across thousands of rivers and mountains, can you give me a ticket? Thanks!
