Chapter 154 Don’t want the other party to suffer
When Li Long walked over, the man was sitting on the cement railing beside the side wall of the Cultural Palace, and he was also observing Li Long.
There are not many people who can watch movies at this time, and there are not many people coming in and out. These are not the target potential users of this person.
When Li Long walked over, the other party obviously became more vigilant. This person's hair is slightly long, not parted, and slightly curly on both sides of his face. At this time, there were no movies and TV shows that could lead the trend, so most people were more individual.
But basically they still keep some hair, and there are not many people like Li Long who have a short haircut. After all, everyone subconsciously thinks that only prisoners who have been reformed will shave their hair so short.
"Brother, do you have a ticket?" Li Long walked over, took out a handful of melon seeds from the bag and handed it over, asking familiarly.
"Which ticket do I need? Regional or national?"
"Regional. Are there national ones too?"
"Yes." The man kowtowed. Guazi, obviously letting down his guard, said, "The price is cheap now."
"What's the price?" Li Long asked curiously.
"The food stamps in the region are eight cents a pound, and the national food stamps are nine cents."
"So cheap?" Li Long really didn't expect it to be so cheap.
"Haha, I can't do it for long. After throwing away these tickets in my hand, I won't do it." The man cracked melon seeds and vomited bitterness to Li Long, "Now the morning market stalls are set up , many things can be bought without tickets, who needs tickets? The higher-ups don’t care about these stalls, I think sooner or later these tickets will be used.”
Li Long didn’t expect this person to be so forward-thinking. !
There will definitely be no need for tickets in the future, but not at this time. Tickets will also be used for a considerable period of time. Li Long remembered that in his previous life, when someone in the village went to college, his family prepared a stack of national food stamps.
That was all in the early 1990s - actually the tickets were rarely used at that time, but in some places they were still used.
"Are there any other tickets?" Li Long asked.
"Yes. What tickets do you want?" The man spit out the melon seed rinds in his mouth on the ground, then took out a stack of tickets:
"I won't tell you about the sugar tickets. There are sugar stamps, wine stamps, meat stamps, industrial stamps..."
"So many?" Li Long was really jealous looking at the tickets in the other person's hand, "Give me two hundred catties of food stamps. of——”
"What a big deal." When the man heard that Li Long wanted so much, he immediately became energetic, "Are you going to resell it?"
"No, no, no, I bought it for a friend." Li Long waved his hand, "Give me twenty kilograms of wine coupons."
Twenty kilograms of wine coupons, including more than thirty bottles of small champagne, should be enough.
Li Long asked for some more sugar stamps and industrial stamps. These alone cost Li Long more than 40 yuan.
If he didn't have to prepare money to buy things tomorrow, Li Long would like to buy more tickets.
"I'll have to buy some tickets in two days." Li Long said to the man, "Are you still here?"
"Yes." The man was also very happy and said with a smile while counting the money. , "My name is Cao Liu, everyone calls me Xiao Liu, I am here You can definitely find me. Brother, what do you call me?"
"My surname is Li..."
"Then I'll call you Brother Li." Cao Xiaoliu is actually quite young. Li Long didn't expect that the other party would call him brother directly.
"Okay, see you later, I have to go shopping in the department store." Li Long waved to the man, turned and left the Cultural Palace.
Looking at Li Long's back, Cao Xiaoliu was very happy today. Just this time, Li Long could make several dollars!
Much more than a worker!
We can have extra meals tonight!
Cao Xiaoliu looked around happily, and then left here. He was content and that was enough for today.
Li Long rode his bike to the department store and started buying champagne and red wine.
Xiao Liu sells electronic products. She saw Li Long as soon as he came in. She just didn't expect that Li Long didn't come, which made her a little disappointed and a little anxious.
After Li Long bought a small bottle of champagne, red wine and fruit candies, he finally transferred to Xiao Liu.
"Hello, comrade, do you still have the radio like last time here?"
"No more." Although Xiao Liu wanted to help Li Long solve the problem, she didn't have the goods. no way.
Li Long was also disappointed.
"This kind of radio is very popular, but our county is a small one and not many people buy it." Xiao Liu thought for a while and said, "There are more people buying it in Shicheng. If you have time..."
< br>"I understand, thank you." Li Long patted his head, yes, just because there is none here does not mean there is none in Shicheng.
"Then give me two boxes of AA batteries and two flashlights." Li Long said.
Xiao Liu quickly got something for Li Long, and quickly wrapped it up and knotted it for him with the hemp rope he had on hand, making it easier to tie it up.
After Li Long paid the money, he thanked Xiao Liu, turned around and left with large and small bags of things.
"It seems that this person is quite rich, Xiao Liu." The eldest sister next to him joked, "He must have bought several radios alone, and now he wants to buy more..."
Xiao Liu didn't As he spoke, he didn’t know what he was thinking.
After Li Long went to the big yard to unload the things, he went to the grain store while it was still dark. This time he had food stamps and bought fifty kilograms of flour directly.
He already knew that Harimu and the others were in Xia Ranch, and their staple food was naan, so they used more flour. The main purpose of rice is to make pilaf, and he doesn't usually eat much, so Li Long mainly bought noodles this time.
After bringing the flour back to the compound, Li Long redistributed the materials so that they could be taken to the mountains tomorrow.
After all this was done, Li Long was a little hungry. He didn't want to cook anymore, so he went to the big meat restaurant and ordered a fried noodles.
This fried noodles is not fried with flour, but fried with vegetables. It is more common in later generations, but now you need to make it clear to the waiter.
After all, there is still a kind of fried noodles - fried noodles.
After the fried noodles were served, Li Long asked the waiter for a little vinegar and added it in, and then ate it.
When we returned to the compound after eating, it was already getting dark. Li Long entered the bedroom and turned on the light. He couldn't sleep for a while, so he took the small-caliber rifle and started cleaning it.
It is necessary to clean the gun every time after shooting. After shooting, there will be gunpowder residue in the barrel, which needs to be wiped clean with a gun cloth, otherwise it will affect the accuracy of the next shot.
The process of disassembling a gun is also a process of becoming familiar with the gun, which Li Long has experienced deeply in this life. After cleaning the gun, Li Long loaded the bullet into the gun, turned off the safety, and then went to sleep peacefully. I don’t know what happened to the thief in the end.
Early the next morning, Li Long went to the Big Meat Canteen for a simple breakfast. When he came back, he tied his things on his bicycle and headed towards the mountains.
There were more and more pedestrians on the road. When crossing the Wuyi Highway, Li Long found that there were also more cars passing by. Just after one, there was another in the distance.
Li Long pedaled hard, thinking that his friends in the mountains were waiting for him, and Li Long felt energetic all over.
When he entered the mountains and arrived in front of Harimu's winter nest, Li Long found that Harimu was outside the winter nest, seemingly waiting for him.
"Li Long, you are finally here!" After seeing Li Long, Harimu shouted and ran over here, "Those boys are waiting for you!"
< br>"Unload the things first, let's go over there." Li Long pointed to the things on the back of the bicycle and said, "I brought some alcohol-flavored drinks to wait for the house. Let’s have a drink together after it’s built.”
“Okay, let’s put those things aside. The boys have already built the house for you and are making the wooden bed now, but that’s not what they’re worried about. , hurry up, let’s move the things over there... Forget it, let’s just push it over on bicycles.”
There is a small trail from here to Li Long's Dongwozi. If you are a good biker, you can ride there.
Li Long could feel Harimu's eagerness, and said:
"Okay, let's push it over."
Li Long pushed the bicycle, and Harimu followed behind , after following for a while, Li Long felt that this road was rideable, so he rode up and followed the winding road to the other side of the mountain.
When it was uphill or the road was difficult to walk, he would get off the car and push it. Most of the time, he could still ride. When Li Long arrived at his winter nest, he found that there was indeed a complete house.
However, the roof of the house was covered with mud, and the four walls were also plastered with mud. It looked like an earth house, and the original wood could not be seen.
A few people in Yushanjiang were sawing wood outside, and some were mixing mud. There were also people working inside the house, and the sound of knocking on wood echoed in the valley.
Seeing Li Long, Yushanjiang shouted, and the boys all came out of the house and shouted at Li Long.
Li Long smiled and waved to them, pushing his bicycle to the wooden house.
"Li Long, you didn't come yesterday, which made several young men so anxious that Tusken almost cried." Yushanjiang joked, "He brought two little deer over, but in the end there was nothing he could do. Take it back again.”
"Two deer?" Li Long was startled, "Did he really catch a deer?"
"Yes. Two!" Yu Shanjiang raised a finger and said with a smile, "He said he wanted to Change a radio."
"You can definitely change it!" Li Long was really surprised, "I can change it to two..."< br>
"One is enough, and then you just need to bring more batteries for it. In my case, four batteries are gone, and it keeps ringing all day long." Yushanjiang said, "Battery, It’s too expensive!”
Li Long thought about it right. Fortunately, batteries don’t require tickets, so he can still buy more.
After he put the car away, he went into the house to take a look and found that a wooden kang had been built in the big house, but it was not finished yet. The young men were installing the wooden supports under the kang.
In the past, the wooden kangs that Harimu and Yushanjiang lived in were only visible from the outside, but now we know that the inside is a wooden frame made into a grid, with a layer of wooden boards nailed on top.
"Put the things in the back of your car here. The door can be installed and the wooden kang can be laid out today. If you have bedding, you can live in it tonight."
Li Long was right when he thought about it. He simply moved the food, wine, drinks, and snacks one by one into the small house, which was originally used as a warehouse.
I just didn’t expect that after moving in, I found that there were already a lot of things in it.
Antlers are the most numerous, followed by various skins. What Li Long could recognize were deer skin, roe deer skin, wolf skin,
jade, mainly Mahe jade, and a few pieces of very good quality.
These things were piled up in half the room, and Li Long estimated that it would take several trips to transport them all back - at least a carriage.
If they all want to change their radios, then they really have to go to Shicheng, and maybe even to Wucheng, otherwise there won't be enough.
The boys saw Li Long coming and came over to say hello, but they did not stop, but continued to work. It was not until the boards on the wooden kang were laid that Yushanjiang shouted , everyone gathered together and rested next to the wooden board outside.
Harimu took the mare's breasts that were placed in a cool place and a large bowl. He poured a bowl and handed it to the young man next to him. The young man took it and handed it to Yushanjiang.
Yushan Jiang handed it to Li Long again, and Li Long waved his hand hurriedly:
"You guys drink, you have worked hard for so long."
Yushan Jiang didn't refuse. After drinking in one gulp, he handed the bowl to Harimu, who poured it down and handed it to the next person.
After everyone drank, a young man couldn’t wait to say a series of words. Harimu glanced at him and translated to Li Long with a smile:
"Belik said he wanted to exchange four antlers for a radio, a box of batteries, and a flashlight. He asked if he could get them."
Four antlers!
Li Long remembered that there were only six or seven antlers in the wooden house. This one was very powerful.
“It can be exchanged.” Li Long said, “Maybe there will be more.”
“Enough, enough.” After Harimu finished speaking to Belik, Belik With a smile on his face, Harimu translated as he spoke.
"Then I will take the things down today and bring them up after changing them."
"Tang Boli brought two wolf skins, a roe deer skin, and a piece of jade, and said he wanted to change them. Radio." Harimu translated the next person's words.
After Tang Boli finished speaking, he ran into the house and took out his piece of jade.
The jade was as big as a football. Li Long saw that the surface was dusty. He found some water and spread it on the surface of the jade. He found that there was still a layer of stone skin on it. He had no choice but to use a flashlight to polish it.
There are faint black spots in the jasper, but they are larger. Li Long nodded and said:
"It can be exchanged. I don't know the price of the leather, but just this jade can be exchanged for a radio."
Even if the lowest price of the last sale is fifteen yuan per kilogram, this jade weighs at least eight Kilograms can be exchanged for a radio.
"Tusken said that his two fawns need to be replaced with a radio." Halimu finally said about Tusken, a shy young man who still stuttered a bit.
“It can be replaced. It can definitely be replaced. A small deer can be replaced with a radio.”
“No, no, no, if it is an adult deer, it can be replaced.” Harimu was very happy. He said to Li Long seriously, "This deer is very difficult to feed. The fawn is no more valuable than a sheep at this time. Li Long, you can't bear the risk just because you have a good relationship with us..."
After hearing what Harimu said, Tusken added another sentence. Harimu translated and said that he still had a piece of jade, and he didn't know if it was worth anything.
Li Long said sternly:
“That’s really enough, one little deer is enough...”
