When they arrived at the pigeon, Li Laifu took out his hood. This time he couldn't remove it from his mouth so he could smoke easily. Many people made a show of it, and some even just used a handkerchief to cover their noses.
This time, Li Laifu didn't take care of the ticket seller, but walked straight towards the Pigeon Market. The Pigeon Market was crowded with people, but there was a shortage of things to buy. He only had a bag with his hands empty, and people asked him if he had food. ?
There are also many sellers squatting on the roadside, selling eggs, selling chickens with egg shells, and chicken feathers, but they are not for sale! Three words! Exchange food!
I also discovered a new thing, someone actually put rice in a wine glass?
It's not that the rice is weird, it's that his wine glass is so famous that it's actually the famous chicken bowl cup.
There should be nothing fake in this era, right? Li Laifu muttered secretly in his heart.
who cares? Even if it's fake? Buy it and listen to it, it’s not like he doesn’t listen, he squats down...
The man wore a blue handkerchief and said directly: "I won't sell it, just exchange it for coarse grains."
"When did I say I bought it?" Li Laifu said.
The man was stunned for a moment and said, "Oh, that's good, that's good. 50 people asked me to buy it that night."
The man continued: "I only have one kilogram of rice, can I exchange it for four kilograms of stick noodles?"
Li Laifu rolled his eyes and said: "No wonder 50 people asked you in one night? You are still here! Only a fool would do this to you these days."
"For someone who can afford a 1:4 exchange, will he be short of rice?" Li Laifu asked.
The man thought about it for a while and realized that what Li Laifu said was true. Anyone who could trade four kilograms of stick noodles for rice would definitely not be short of rice.
"Looking at your age, little brother, can you exchange it for three pounds?"
Li Laifu pretended to look around and said: Where is your rice?
The adult took out a lunch box directly under his buttocks and said, "It's all in there, exactly one pound."
Li Laifu also stood up, took a Chinese cigarette and handed it over and said, "Let's go outside. Didn't you let go of the wine glass?"
The man originally wanted to ask for the wine glass, but Li Laifu calmed him down with a Chinese cigarette. Someone who could take out a Chinese cigarette would definitely not tease him. He sniffed the cigarette, put it on his ear, and followed Walking behind Li Laifu towards the outside of Pigeon City.
Li Laifu remembered that there was a ditch at the corner of the road. When he reached the intersection, Li Laifu said: "I put my food in the grass, please wait a moment," and jumped into the grass without waiting for his reply.
The rice seller on the bank saw the grass moving. Li Laifu touched a piece of mud and threw it into the river. Li Laifu said in surprise: "Oh! Damn it, your wine glass fell into the river."
The man said on the shore: "It's okay, it's okay. Is your food okay?"
It was okay. Li Laifu came ashore with a small flour bag. The man breathed a sigh of relief and took out a folded and square flour bag from his pocket.
After the exchange, the two of them didn't even look back. The man walked towards the city, while Li Laifu continued to walk towards the pigeon market. He had to use his brain to pick up the missing items.
I went back and forth twice more, and exchanged five pounds of cornmeal for a hen, and another five pounds of cornmeal for 20 eggs. Basically, in this era, things are no longer measured by price, but by the feeling of fullness. It takes a day. If you replace the food you have with enough food for three days, this is victory.
There was nothing to change, so I walked up to the ticket seller with a cigarette in my mouth. The man looked at Li Laifu and exclaimed: "Pumpkin?"
Li Laifu took the cigarette out of his mouth and cursed: "You pumpkin? You big pumpkin? Your whole family pumpkin?"
The person who bought the ticket hurriedly smiled and said: "Little brother, misunderstanding, misunderstanding! I am looking forward to the stars and the moon. It is not easy to see you, and I am a little excited."
Li Laifu was also secretly glad that what he sold last time was not winter melon. Damn it, he called me "winter melon brother", isn't this green?
Li Laifu held the smoke in his mouth and asked, "What kind of tickets do you have there?"
The man knew that Li Laifu was a big customer, so he hurriedly opened his pocket and took out a handful of tickets, each of which was well tied.
Li Laifu took 20 Class A cigarette tickets, 20 Class A liquor tickets, 20 Class B liquor tickets, and 20 kilograms of loose liquor tickets. Li Laifu couldn't help but ask, why are you paying 20 for everything? Why, 20 is your lucky number!
The man selling the tickets smiled and said, "What's the point? The lucky number and the unlucky number are just to facilitate the calculation of accounts."
Then he said: "Little brother, the total is 34 yuan."
Li Laifu nodded and said, "Sure enough, the settlement is quick. Do you still have candy or pastry tickets here?"
"Yes, but not much. I have two kilograms of White Rabbit candy coupons, three kilograms of candy coupons, and five kilograms of pastry coupons."
Without waiting for Li Laifu to interrupt, he continued: "White Rabbit toffee tickets are a bit more expensive, two yuan and a half a catty, candy bars are fifty cents a catty, and high-point tickets are also fifty cents a catty. Candy tickets, pastry tickets, plus the 34 yuan just now , a total of 43 yuan.”
Li Laifu stared and said, "Are you a chatterbox? Can you speak slower and leave me some space? Can you interrupt me? You can't buy candy bars casually. When do you need a ticket?"
The man scratched his head and said with a smile: "Little brother, you don't know, the pork limit was limited a few days ago."
Li Laifu was shocked and asked: "There is a limit on pork? What does it have to do with candy?"
The man said: "I don't know. Anyway, the pork limit is limited. Later, you were not allowed to buy candy bars. You have candy coupons. Do you think these candy coupons are still new?"
Li Laifu almost raised his foot and kicked him into the ditch. He cursed in Northeastern dialect: "You idiot! It doesn't matter whether the two things are the same? Why did you mention the pork limit for me? You just said candy? You are not allowed to buy it casually. That’s it? There’s so much bullshit.”
"Little brother, don't be impatient. I'm used to it. Two days ago when I introduced sugar coupons to others, they asked me why. I'm a ticket seller. How could I know why? I was annoyed by them all asking, and then I When they said there was a limit on pork, those people seemed to understand and didn’t ask me again! I got used to it.”
Li Laifu frowned and said, "I'm here to buy a damn ticket, and yet I get involved with you, you idiot."
The ticket seller himself laughed and thought it was too nonsense.
Li Laifu gave 43 yuan and asked: "Do you have any cotton or cloth tickets here?"
The man counted the money, put it in his bag, and said, "Cotton tickets are valuable."
Li Laifu, a wealthy businessman, almost had it written on his face that he had enough money. He said arrogantly: "Just tell me the amount of money."
"Cotton coupons cost one dollar and a half, and cloth coupons cost eighty cents."
Li Laifu frowned and said, "It's not expensive. Why are you making it so mysterious?"
"Cotton is sold at the supply and marketing cooperative? One yuan and a half per catty, and cloth is sold at the supply and marketing cooperative for seventy-five cents per foot," the ticket seller replied.
Li Laifu also understood and said, "Oh shit, you said expensive? That's what you mean. It turns out that the note is equal to the value of the item."
