Siheyuan: Activate the farm system at the beginning

The price Yan Bugui offers now is definitely not the highest price.

Moreover, ever since Li Changlin discovered that Yan Bugui was a scalper, he has been keeping a close eye on Yan Bugui's every move.

The price Yan Bugui gave when he was talking to someone before was obviously higher than the price he had just quoted.

Just recently, Yan Bugui made an offer to another person.

The purchase price for one pound of fine grain coupons is 1.7 yuan, which is slightly lower than that of other scalpers.

The purchase price of one pound of coarse grain coupons is 1.2 yuan, which is actually much higher than the purchase price offered by other scalpers.

However, the price Yan Bugui gave himself was reduced a lot.

It is not known whether Yan Bugui felt that he could not afford the food coupons or he deliberately offered a low price.

Li Changlin smiled and said, "Uncle, you are too rude. After all, we are from the same courtyard.

I just heard the offer you made to another person.

I have some fine grain coupons.

If you need it, I’ll sell you some for 2.2 yuan.”

Yan Bugui was exposed by Li Changlin, and his face was a little embarrassed, but after hearing Li Changlin's offer, he immediately shook his head and said, "Changlin, it's not that I don't care about the friendship of my neighbors, but your price is too high. I can't afford it."

Just this morning I sold 20 kilograms of fine grain coupons for two yuan.

If I buy it back now at 2.2 yuan, wouldn’t it be a pure loss?

It is natural that Yan Bugui would not do such a loss-making business.

"Uncle, this price is not high. I heard that a pound of fine grain coupons can be sold at a high price of three yuan in the ghost market. If you are lucky, it is possible to sell it for four yuan. This is a rare opportunity."

Li Changlin spoke temptingly from the side.

"Changlin, I don't know where you heard this price from. How can you sell it at such a high price? The third uncle is also powerless.

If you really have fine grain coupons and want to sell them at a high price, I suggest you try the ghost market.

Maybe it can really be sold for a lot of money.

Uncle San has other things to do, so I won't continue chatting with you here."

Yan Bugui hasn't even bought enough grain coupons for one pound of food yet, so he doesn't have much time to chat with Li Changlin.

"Thank you, Uncle Third, for your reminder. Go ahead and get busy."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Li Changlin didn't expect that Yan Bugui would be so kind as to give advice.

Whatever his thinking behind this was, it certainly is a good suggestion.

After Yan Bugui said goodbye to Li Changlin, he continued to work as a scalper.

Li Changlin followed the long line and began to queue.

After a long wait, around noon, it was finally Li Changlin's turn.

"I want 17 kilograms of white flour."

Li Changlin took out all the 17 kilograms of fine grain coupons he had prepared in advance and placed them on the counter.

Soon the staff weighed out 17 kilograms of flour and placed it in front of Li Changlin.

"White flour costs 8 yuan per pound. 1 pounds of white flour costs 17 yuan."

The reason why most people choose to buy coarse grains is not only because there are more coarse grain coupons, but there is another more important reason.

That is, the price of coarse grains is much lower.

The price of a pound of white flour is 8 cents.

And the price of a pound of coarse grains is only ten cents.

The gap between the two is more than seven times.

Moreover, the price of fine grain coupons is much higher than that of coarse grain coupons.

If you don’t have savings at home, you wouldn’t dare to spend it like this.

The people queuing behind him couldn't help but gasp when they saw Li Changlin buying 17 kilograms of flour in one go.

Good guy, really good guy.

At this time, there are very few people who can buy so much flour at one time.

Li Changlin paid 13.77 yuan very readily.

Then he left with a cloth bag containing 17 kilograms of flour.

When Li Changlin left, Yan Bugui was still working as a scalper.

This half-day's effort was not without any gain.

After going through numerous hardships, Yan Bugui finally received 20 kilograms of coarse grain coupons.

Just for these 20 kilograms of coarse grain coupons, he really spent a lot of money.

On average, the purchase price of each kilogram of coarse grain coupons was as high as 1.3 yuan.

This was almost the price he had paid for the fine grain coupons before.

If the ratio is 1:2, he will lose money completely.

But there is no other way. If we don’t buy it, someone in the family will really die.

When Li Changlin left, he also noticed Yan Bugui, but he didn't know about the other party's acquisition situation.

Li Changlin did not stay on the street for too long and walked home carrying the flour.

17 kilograms of flour is not a small amount of money.

Li Changlin also didn't want the people in the courtyard to know that he had bought so much flour.

Li Changlin hid in a deserted corner, threw the flour in his hand into the farm, and at the same time took a pound of flour into his own hand.

If the number is too large, it might cause jealousy.

If it's only one kilogram, no one would care too much even if others saw it.

Considering that many daily necessities at home had been consumed, Li Changlin spent some more money to buy some tickets from scalpers.

We are now in the era of planned economy, and receipts are required to purchase almost everything.

Just like you need food stamps to buy food.

To buy cloth, you need cloth coupons.

To buy oil, you need an oil ticket.

To buy cigarettes, you need a cigarette ticket.

To buy sugar, you need a sugar ticket.

To buy alcohol, you need a wine ticket.

Various bills cover almost every aspect of life.

Compared with the scarce food coupons, the prices of other coupons are lower.

After all, people cannot survive without food.

But if you don't have cloth, don't drink alcohol, and don't smoke, it won't affect your life.

And some people don't smoke or drink.

Those people would also take out the extra bills and sell them.

It was very easy for Li Changlin to buy these bills.

When Li Changlin returned, he was carrying a lot of bags in his hands.

This time he did not hide the things, but displayed them openly.

When others saw Li Changlin carrying a lot of bags, they couldn't help but show envy in their eyes.

Although these things are not food, they still cost a lot of money.

When Li Changlin returned to the courtyard, he happened to see the steel mill getting off work.

The courtyard house where Li Changlin lives, as well as the nearby courtyard houses, are basically inhabited by workers from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

The sight of Li Changlin carrying so many bags made the workers returning home envious.
