The staff responsible for weighing and exchanging money are still the two female employees, one big and one small.
They also smelled the scent of musk just now and saw the yellow tiger skin.
When Li Shiqiang came over with the receipt, the older middle-aged woman also said with a smile on her face: "Young man, I didn't expect you to have this ability. You can even beat a yellow tiger!"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just good luck."
Li Shiqiang smiled modestly and handed over the order in his hand.
The middle-aged woman waved her hand with a bright smile, shook her head and said, "Why are you so humble?"
Digging clams and hunting musk can be said to be a person's good luck.
But when it comes to fighting yellow tigers, you can't rely on luck.
It must be a combination of strength and courage.
So looking at such a humble and powerful young man, coupled with Li Shiqiang's handsome appearance, she couldn't help but have some thoughts.
She pushed the niece next to her with her arm and motioned for the other party to take the document from Li Shiqiang's hand. Then she continued to look at Li Shiqiang and asked, "Young man, has your family told you about your marriage?"
Hearing this, the young woman on the side immediately understood her aunt's plan and quickly lowered her head shyly.
"Already told."
Li Shiqiang has already identified the wife he wants in this life, so when asked by others, he speaks out directly.
"Have you already said it!?"
When the middle-aged woman heard this, she immediately stopped thinking, turned to look at her niece next to her and said, "Have you calculated the money? How much is the total?"
"After all, two clams cost 360 yuan, one or two musk costs 100 yuan, high-quality musk costs 200 yuan, two mountain muntjac skins cost 8 yuan, two fragrant deer skins cost 22 yuan, and one One hundred and eight pieces of yellow tiger skin.”
"A total of seven hundred and ten dollars."
"So many!?"
When the middle-aged woman heard the quotation, she was immediately surprised.
"Young man, this is a lot of money. Just wait for my aunt to count it for you."
"OK!"
Unlike the middle-aged woman's surprise, Li Shiqiang's expression was vaguely disappointed.
In later generations, one gram of musk could be sold for thousands of dollars, but now one tael is only worth a hundred dollars, which is not as high as the price of an obei.
Although the values of the era he lived in were different, he was still a little disappointed.
However, due to the planned economy, things purchased and sold in supply and marketing cooperatives are now priced and distributed uniformly, so Li Shiqiang can only accept these prices.
However, it's soon.
He remembered that after the reform and opening up in the early 1980s, the price of musk would gradually rise crazily.
If he is not short of money in the future, he can keep the musk and sell it in a few years.
"Here, young man, count quickly!"
When the middle-aged woman handed over the thick stack of banknotes, Li Shiqiang quickly took it in his hand and counted it.
While he was counting, the middle-aged woman on the side also said with some concern: "Young man, you have to be careful with such a large sum of money."
The public security in these days was not as good as in later generations, and many people still had no food to eat, so more desperate people were born.
Even on the highway, you will often encounter roadblocks and robberies.
After listening to the middle-aged woman's words, Li Shiqiang raised his head with a smile on his face, patted the guy behind him and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I brought this guy here specially when I went out."
The middle-aged woman turned around and saw something wrapped in a long cloth bag behind him.
Thinking about those leathers just now, she immediately understood what was inside.
"Auntie, you are talking too much. You are someone who has fought against a yellow tiger. How could you not understand this when you are away from home?"
"Thank you very much, Auntie."
Li Shiqiang said with a chuckle, then put the thick stack of banknotes into the cloth bag.
Taking advantage of the situation, he also looked back behind him.
When he glanced around, he immediately saw several people lowering their heads quickly to cover up the prying eyes.
Seven hundred and ten yuan, such a large sum, can be saved by ordinary workers without eating or drinking for several years. It is enough for some people to take a risk.
Li Shiqiang calmly lifted the strap on his shoulder and walked out of the purchasing station.
Sure enough, as soon as he went out, he saw several groups of people standing at the entrance of several alleys, pretending to peek at him.
Originally, Li Shiqiang planned to find the old man and the others immediately after the items were sold out.
After seeing so many people staring at him, he could only wander around the city for a while.
There is no other way. If you sell things in a supply and marketing cooperative, you are destined to be targeted.
After thinking about it, Li Shiqiang could only go to the black market first.
People in the black market have many eyes, and you may be able to get rid of those people.
And with so many people inside, no one dared to do anything inside.
After wandering around the streets for a few times, Li Shiqiang came to the black market again.
After paying the money, he immediately disappeared into the crowd.
At the entrance of the black market, a group of people immediately came.
This group of people looked a little miserable. Not only were they thin and dirty, but many of them were barefoot and didn't even have a pair of straw shoes.
However, although this group of people looked miserable, there was a fierce aura in their eyes.
"What should I say? People have entered now. Do you want to follow?"
"You definitely have to follow him, but you don't have to go in all the way. That boy looks like he's from the mountains. He will have to leave the city and go home. Just watch him take that road back."
"Okay! That's it."
The speaker looked at the prosperous scene in the black market and unconsciously tightened his grip on a hard object around his waist.
The people around him were also looking at the food on those stalls with great greed, imagining how cool they would be after taking care of the fat sheep.
They had not eaten for several days, and even though they saw that Li Shiqiang was carrying a gun, they still chose to take risks for the huge sum of money.
So what if I have a gun?
There were eight people in their group.
The fat sheep is just one person, plus at most one dog.
...
Now that we have come to the black market, some purchasing is inevitable.
During this purchase, Li Shiqiang didn't buy anything like oil or rice like the first time.
We have all those things at home now, and there is no shortage of them.
He first bought two cans of malted milk and then continued shopping in the black market.
The black market in the county is much larger than the black market in the commune. Many of the things sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives can be seen in the black market.
When I bought the malted milk this time, nothing like what happened last time on the black market in the commune happened. The transaction was completed very simply.
"Young man, wait a minute!"
Li Shiqiang, who was strolling around, suddenly felt his heart tighten and quickly reached for his waist.
There are too many people in this place, so holding a gun is not good, so let’s get a knife first.
But what people didn't expect was that those people actually dared to prepare to take action in the black market.
But when Li Shiqiang looked back with a pair of fierce eyes, he was suddenly stunned: "Why is it you?"
