Chapter 15 Black Market Ticket Purchase

Then Wang Yuanchao came to a ticket booth and squatted down.

After looking at the tickets displayed by the stall owner, he asked in a hoarse voice:

"Comrade, do you have an industrial ticket?"

The stall owner's voice sounded relatively young, and he probably didn't fake his voice.

“Provincial ticket or national ticket?”

"We need some provincial tickets, and some national tickets."

"Provincial tickets are one dollar each, and national tickets are two dollars each."

Wang Yuanchao thought for a moment and asked:

"Comrade, I need a lot of tickets. How many can you give me now?"

The ticket seller stared at Wang Yuanchao suspiciously for a long time before saying:

“The provincial ticket can now take out 40, and the national ticket can take out 10.”

Wang Yuanchao knew that the ticket scalpers in the black market had no shortage of tickets, and that they might still need to spend time collecting tickets from all over the country.

But these guys are never short of tickets within the province, and they can get as many as they want.

So Wang Yuanchao took out sixty yuan and handed it over, saying:

"Comrade, I want all these tickets."

The stall owner took the money, counted it in front of the kerosene lamp, and handed the ticket to Wang Yuanchao.

After Wang Yuanchao put the ticket in his pocket, he continued to ask:

"Comrade, do you have cloth coupons or cotton coupons?"

"There are only provincial tickets for cotton, but no national tickets. There is not much demand for this thing here, and there is not much money to be made. I don't usually collect it."

"How to sell it?"

"A cotton ticket for one catty is 40 cents each, and a ticket for half a catty is 20 cents each."

"I need 40 kilograms of cotton coupons. What about cloth coupons? How much do you want?"

"A cloth ticket of three chi is 40 cents, and a ticket of five chi is 80 cents."

"Comrade, I need 40 kilograms of cotton coupons.

As for cloth coupons, whether provincial or national, I'll take as many as you have."

The stall owner stared at Wang Yuanchao for a while and thought that this man was a big fish. In addition to his generosity when buying industrial tickets just now, the boss did not think much about it. He took out a cloth bag from behind, took out a few stacks of tickets and began to count them, and then said:

"There are 23 provincial cloth tickets of three city feet in total, and 8 national tickets in total.

There are 16 five-shi-foot tickets in total and 6 national tickets in total.

The national cloth coupons are more expensive, 80 cents for a three-foot cloth ticket, and 1.5 yuan for a five-foot cloth ticket.

Wang Yuanchao quickly calculated in his mind and said:

"The provincial coupons for 16 jin of cotton cost 15.6 yuan; the provincial coupons for 21.8 shi chi plus the national coupons cost 53.4 yuan in total; the provincial coupons for shi chi plus the national coupons cost yuan in total. The total amount of cotton and cloth coupons is yuan.

Comrade, how about removing a decimal point and making it 53 yuan in total?

"Okay, seeing that you are a straightforward person, let's make friends right then and there."

Wang Yuanchao grumbled, took out 53 yuan and handed it to the boss. He took the ticket and pointed it at the kerosene lamp, put it in his pocket, and continued to ask:

"Comrade, do you have any sugar and cigarette coupons?"

"Yes, do you want the candy ticket?"

"Yes, how many candy tickets are there?"

The stall owner picked up a few more stacks of tickets and lit them against the kerosene lamp.

"There are 56 provincial sugar tickets for 32 liang, 30 for jin, and for jin.

There were only 26 sugar tickets in the country, each worth three kilograms.

There are 26 half-jin (approximately 100g) milk candy tickets, 28 full-jin (approximately 100g) tickets, and 22 national-use full-jin (approximately 100g) tickets.

A sugar ticket for six taels of sugar costs one cent, a sugar ticket for one catty of sugar costs thirty cents, a sugar ticket for three catties of sugar costs one dollar, and a sugar ticket used nationwide costs one dollar and fifty cents.

Milk candy is 1.5 cents per piece for half a pound, and 30 cents per piece for a full pound.

One kilogram of national general ticket costs 1 yuan each."

After hearing the ticket scalper's offer, Wang Yuanchao couldn't help but be shocked. Nowadays, tickets are really more expensive than money.

According to the original owner's memory, if there is a ticket, Wang Yuanchao can buy it at a supply and marketing cooperative or department store.

White sugar is only 30 cents per pound, brown sugar is only 20 cents per pound, fruit candy is only 30 cents per pound, and White Rabbit milk candy is more expensive, but it is only one dollar and fifty cents per pound.

Wang Yuanchao hesitated for a moment. After all, he didn't like sweets that much. But he was about to go to the countryside.

Sugar is a scarce commodity in the countryside. Wang Yuanchao wants to use it for socializing and to curry favor with people, but is it worth spending so much money on this?

Wang Yuanchao had no experience in this area and was undecided for a while.

After thinking for a while, Wang Yuanchao remembered that this time when he went to the countryside, the earliest he could return to the city would be when he was admitted to university.

This time I have to stay in the countryside for at least eleven years. Anyway, the supplies will not go bad if they are placed in the space. Besides, I lack everything else now, but not money.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuanchao made up his mind and said:

"Comrade, the provincial sugar coupons for six taels are 5.6 yuan, the sugar coupons for one catty are 9.6 yuan, the sugar coupons for three catties are 30 yuan, and the national sugar coupons are 24 yuan.

The milk candy ticket is 3.9 yuan for half a catty, 8.4 yuan for a full catty, and the national ticket is 26 yuan.

The total is 107.5 yuan, is that right?"

Hearing that Wang Yuanchao wanted to take down all the candy tickets in his hand, the stall owner rubbed his hands excitedly and said hurriedly:

"Comrade, that's right, the total is 107.5 yuan, minus the decimal, you just need to give 107 yuan."

Since Wang Yuanchao had made up his mind, he no longer hesitated. He took out a stack of Great Unity tickets, counted out 11 and handed them over. Then he took the tickets handed to him by the ticket scalper and started counting.

After confirming that everything was correct, he took the 3 yuan change and put it in his pocket along with the ticket, saying:

“Provincial food coupons are 50 jin, and national food coupons are 100 jin.

Provincial meat coupons for 10 jin, national meat coupons for 100 jin, do you have any?"

Although Wang Yuanchao has ecological space, he will not lack food and meat in the future.

But this time I will be in the countryside for eleven years, so I still need some tickets to get by, such as working in state-owned restaurants, etc.

Otherwise, it would definitely not work if Wang Yuanchao could create everything out of thin air.

After hearing what Wang Yuanchao said, the ticket seller took out a few more stacks of tickets from his bag in surprise and began to count them. After a while, he said:

"There is no problem with the grain coupons and provincial meat coupons. The national meat coupons only have tickets for 70 kilograms."

Wang Yuanchao did not hesitate and asked:

"Okay, how much is it?"

"The provincial food coupons are worth 5 cents each, and a total of 5 coupons are worth yuan.

The national food coupons for 5 jin are charged one yuan each, there are 20 coupons in total, which is yuan in total.

The meat-saving ticket costs 3 cents per catty, a total of 3 yuan.

The national meat ticket for three catties is 15 yuan per ticket, and there are ten tickets in total, which is yuan.

The national meat ticket for one jin costs 26 cents each, and there are 13 tickets in total, which costs you yuan.

There are 28 national meat tickets for half a pound, each ticket costs 7 cents, which means you will get yuan.

All in all it comes to 63 bucks.”

Wang Yuanchao nodded, took out the ticket obediently, put it in his pocket, and continued to ask:

"Do you have soap tickets? Do you have soap tickets?"
