Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

"What tickets do you want?"

I don't know when, but Gu Jiu was already standing at the door of the kitchen with a stack of colorful tickets in his hand.

"Sugar coupons cost one yuan per jin, industrial coupons cost one yuan per sheet, high-end cigarette coupons cost one yuan per carton, and grain coupons... Oh, you have grain to sell, so you definitely don't need grain coupons."

Lin Shu folded the empty sack, tucked it under his arm, and walked out of the kitchen. "I'm short of food coupons, too. It's useless to have food alone when you're out. Without food coupons, you can't even get into a state-owned restaurant. Industrial coupons, meat coupons..."

Before she could continue, Gu Jiu stretched out his hand to interrupt her, "No, I don't even have enough meat coupons myself, how can I possibly give them to you! Forget about oil coupons and meat coupons, but I can only reluctantly give you sugar coupons."

He doesn't like sweets anyway.

Lin Shu scratched his eyebrows awkwardly, stared at the stack of tickets in his hand and said, "Then exchange them for some industrial coupons, food coupons, sugar coupons, and high-end tobacco and alcohol coupons."

Gu Jiu nodded.

Thirty kilograms of rice cost 0.35 yuan at 10.5 yuan per kilogram, plus 2 yuan for delivery, which makes 12.5 yuan.

Lin Shu exchanged five kilograms of food coupons, four industrial coupons, two wine coupons, and one and a half kilograms of sugar coupons.

Gu Jiu put the remaining tickets into his pocket, leaned lazily against the door frame behind him, and said with a sly smile: "We have completed a transaction. Let's take off our hats and masks to get to know each other. Maybe I will buy food from you next time."

Lin Shu rolled her eyes at him. The young man looked good, but his mouth was a little slick. She would rather stay away from him with such a cynical attitude, so how could she possibly want to get to know him?

"Brother Gu, where did this woman come from? She is so secretive. How did you let her in?"

Lin Shu had just put the ticket into his pocket when he saw a man and a woman walking in.

The man had met Lin Shu once before. He was Xu Ming, whom Lin Shu met when he came to the county town with Ding Zaichun last time. The woman had a petite figure and delicate features. She was wearing a small floral dress with a white background and red flowers.

As soon as she entered the room, she moved closer to Gu Jiu and stared at Lin Shu with a little hostility.

Lin Shu really wanted to roll her eyes. Could it be that this woman regarded her as an imaginary enemy?

"Why are you here?" Gu Jiu said this while looking at Xu Ming.

Xu Ming looked at Lin Shu and looked past her. "It just so happens that I don't have to go to work today, so I'll accompany Xu Ting to come and play with you."

When Lin Shu saw Xu Ming, he was afraid of recognizing him, so he nodded to Gu Jiu and took the opportunity to leave.

Xu Ming watched her graceful figure walk out the door and asked curiously, "Who is that?"

"do not know."

"You're kidding. Would you bring someone you don't know into your home?" Xu Ming obviously didn't believe it.

Gu Jiu glanced at him and said, "Aren't you that annoying guy?" He came uninvited.

"Gu Jiu, if you have the guts, say what you just said again. I didn't hear it clearly just now?" Xu Ming rolled up his sleeves while threatening.

Gu Jiu looked at his arms that looked like boiled chicken with contempt, turned and walked into the main room, sat down and poured himself a glass of water.

"What on earth are you and your sister doing here?"

Xu Ting: "Brother Gu, my mother bought a chicken today and would like to invite you to my house for dinner tonight."

"I won't go over tonight, please don't bother me."

Gu Jiuwan declined to go to Xu's house for dinner in the evening. Not only did he not want to trouble the Xu family, but he also said that this place was a bit far from Xu's family and it was not convenient to go back and forth at night.

Xu Ming cleared his throat and said, "Actually, my dad wants to discuss your job with you. He wants to ask you what kind of job you like?"

If he doesn't go, how can he explain to his father?

Gu Jiu frowned slightly: "I have no plans to go to work for the time being, so please don't worry about me, Uncle Xu."

Xu Ming observed his expression and teased, "You don't want to go to work, so you plan to be a street urchin in the county town?"

Gu Jiu said in a cynical tone, "What's wrong with being a street urchin? I work so hard for only 20 or 30 yuan. Even if I don't work, I have this much pocket money every month. Why should I make things difficult for myself?"

"Brother Gu, it's so boring if you don't go to work and sit around doing nothing every day." Xu Ting also wanted to persuade him.

"I don't feel bored. I sleep until I wake up naturally every day and do whatever I want. I don't know how many people envy my life."

Xu Ting looked at his desperate look and exchanged glances with Xu Ming worriedly. How could she persuade him?

Xu Ming hesitated for a moment, "How about you come with me to work at the power supply station? You'll have more freedom at work, and sometimes you can go to the countryside and travel around..."

"No! The elders at home don't think highly of your job at the power supply station." Gu Jiu remained unmoved.

Well, this is a fight with the elders at home. It seems that their persuasion is useless. In this regard, Xu Ming wisely changed the subject, "It's getting late, let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner. I heard that the supply of braised pork and sweet and sour fish is limited today."

......

Lin Shu came out of Gu's house and went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative.

In this age where transportation relies on walking and communication relies on shouting, not having a bicycle is extremely inconvenient.

Now that she has a huge sum of money of thousands of yuan, she must have a bicycle for convenient travel, otherwise it will be too difficult to leave the village on foot.

At the bicycle counter, you need a bicycle ticket to buy Forever and Phoenix brands, but Fei Ge brands are sold without a ticket.

The quality may not be as good as the previous two brands, but according to Lin Shu’s current conditions, she is not picky, as long as she can ride it.

Lin Shu bought a Fei Ge brand bicycle for 180 yuan, pushed the bicycle out of the supply and marketing cooperative, and went directly out of the county town.

It is now around two o'clock in the afternoon. After three or four hours of cycling, it will be six o'clock in the afternoon when we are about to reach Xiaohe Village, and there is still about an hour before dark.

Lin Shu pushed the bike into the woods, observed that there was no one around, and put the bike into the system storage compartment, which was an additional feature added by today's system mall upgrade.

Then, I bought a pair of cloth shoes for each family member from the mall, at 2 yuan a pair, spending 24 yuan for a family of twelve. I also bought a piece of cloth for each person to make summer clothes, spending 6.2 yuan.

Then there is food. The price of food on the black market in the city has gone up due to the shortage of food, so I guess there is not much food left at home.

I bought 0.138 kilograms of rice and flour each. The price of rice in the system mall was 0.24, and the price of flour was 3.78. I spent yuan for kilograms.

I spent less than 34 yuan in total in the mall and bought a lot of things.

I carried the purchased things home on a stick. As soon as I entered the house, Comrade Liu Xiao'e came to greet me.

"Why did you buy so many things? Did you sell the Coriolus versicolor?"

"Mom, let's go in first."

The door of the house is not closed. What if someone passing by hears me talking outside?

The members of a village are more concerned about their small number than their equal distribution. What if someone causes trouble?

After all, everything on the mountain is now defined as collective property.

"Yes, yes, yes, come in quickly. You've come such a long way, have a glass of water first."

The mother and daughter entered the house. Liu Xiao'e bolted the door before walking to Lin Shu and asked impatiently, "Tell me about the situation."

Lin Shu knew that Liu Xiao'e was anxious, so he simply stopped teasing her and said, "Sell it."
