To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

Shi Huizhen couldn't help but smile: "Nene, you really are willing to jump into the well holding the ingots, rather than give up your wealth!"

Shi Shuyun slapped her daughter in the face and said, "Silly child, you need to have money to enjoy life when you go out. There's no market for our stuff in foreign lands. If I could take all this money with me, do you think I'd run away?"

It wasn't like the current situation where we're repairing the Earth every day. I also thought that if I took the things at home, I could have food and clothing for the rest of my life, but where was my home? The Japanese just left and the fighting started again.

Where could I run with bullets flying everywhere? Before we had collective farming, I was pretty well off.

I really can't get used to foreign food. The bloody beef slices eaten with lettuce leaves are enough to make me vomit!

Now that we have no leverage over them, I'll just have to stay quiet. We can't keep doing this forever. There will be a day when I won't be allowed to work!"

Shi Huizhen smiled happily. Her biological mother just couldn't work. In the words of rural people, she was just a pretty face with no practical use.

When the production team was first established, Shi Shuyun was so busy shoveling the ground that she couldn't even tell the weeds apart. This gave the team leader so much trouble. He really wanted her to go home, but it was unthinkable for someone so young to avoid labor.

Shi Shuyun was lazy whenever she could, and would stealthily gather a large basket of pig grass when no one was looking.

The mother and daughter spent the night in the cave. The next morning, they trotted down the mountain under the rising sun. They found the national highway at two o'clock in the afternoon and boarded a bus to the provincial capital.

Shi Shuyun was in high spirits on the return trip, and the mother and daughter chatted all the way to the provincial capital. It was already past seven in the evening when they arrived, and Shi Shuyun filled out the blank letter of introduction she had exchanged for two boxes of Sun Island from the branch secretary.

The situation was at its worst, and a letter of introduction was needed to stay in any hotel. The two of them didn't dare to stay in any fancy hotels, so they went directly to the Red Star State-owned Hotel on Fendou Road.

After showing the letter of introduction, the mother and daughter asked for a double room with a deposit of one yuan and a rent of eighty-two cents.

The room was simple, with only two single beds, a washbasin stand and a thermos.

Fortunately, although the room was simple, it was very clean and the sheets were washed clean and snow-white.

Shi Shuyun sighed, "If I didn't need a ticket, I could go shopping and buy some trendy things. Now I can only watch."

Shi Huizhen looked at her mother's dejected look, and without saying a word, she rummaged through her pockets and took out the money and notes inside. There were more than 500 yuan in money, but very few notes: ten feet of cloth coupons, three industrial coupons, half a pound of meat coupons, and twenty pounds of grain coupons.

Shopping for these little things is not enough, and this is not a problem for Shi Huizhen: "Nana, let's go eat first, and leave the rest to me. I saw a black market near the train station, so I can just buy some tickets from ticket scalpers.

Even though you have money, why would you still feel miserable? Let's go shopping tomorrow. I have a place to put it anyway, so I'll let you experience the days of the past."

Shi Shuyun's eyes were full of stars: "Okay, let's go eat first."

Fendou Road is the busiest stretch of road in Harbin. Huaqiao Store, Qiulin Company, and Fendou Grocery Store are all located along this road. There are also several state-owned restaurants.

The mother and daughter came to the Youth Restaurant, looked at the buffet menu, and ordered a plate of sweet and sour pork, a plate of three fresh vegetables, and four taels of rice.

There's no way around it. A serving of sweet and sour pork costs half a pound of meat coupons, so the rest can only be ordered on vegetarian dishes. The three fresh delicacies are rich in oil and taste great with rice.

Who wants to lose weight these days? Everyone has a perfect figure. Even if you eat a bit too much oil, there's no leftovers. You have a heavy workload every day.

The sweet and sour pork was fragrant and crispy, the portions were staggering, and the pungent smell of rice vinegar whetted my appetite. There was no need to be polite at this point; the mother and daughter walked out of the restaurant, holding onto the wall.

It was just getting dark, so Shi Huizhen took Shi Shuyun to Railway Street behind the train station, where there were people standing there pretending to be stupid.

In the dim light, I could see all sorts of things placed in front of people.

Some displayed a handful of rice, others an egg. Another had a small note stuck to his body, and it was obvious he was the ticket scalper.

Shi Shuyun and her mother, wrapped tightly in scarves, walked over and asked quietly, "Do you have any tickets?"

The other party looked around and said: "Yes!"

The three men immediately left Railway Street and ran to the place where they were being carried away. The man undid his clothes, and inside were various tickets.

Shi Shuyun was lucky this time, and after a crazy shopping spree, she bought tickets worth 332 yuan.

The man's eyes were red with excitement. Finally, a big customer came. Collecting so many tickets could earn him at least 20 yuan.

The two sides exchanged money and goods, fearing that the other party would go back on their word. This is like trying to catch a wolf with a stick and being afraid of both ends.

Shi Shuyun brought her daughter back to the hotel and got a pot of hot water from the water room. Another advantage of staying here was that there was a bathhouse behind the hotel where one could take a bath.

Shi Huizhen put all the tickets and valuables into the space, and she and Shi Shuyun took their toiletries to the bathhouse at the back. The bathhouse opened in the afternoon and stayed open until 11 o'clock in the evening.

There were not many people taking a bath at this time, so Shi Huizhen bought two bath tickets for 32 cents.

There was no back scrubbing service at this time, so we had to find someone to scrub each other's backs. The water in the big pool was a little turbid after a day of use.

The mother and daughter found two shower heads and rinsed thoroughly. Shi Huizhen took out a dry loofah and rubbed each other's backs.

Shi Shuyun was a particular person and used sandalwood soap. Shi Huizhen took advantage of her mother's carelessness and smeared a lot of sandalwood shampoo on her head. The foam immediately increased.

Shi Shuyun rinsed off the water and continued, "My hair isn't rough anymore today." After washing, the two of them returned to their room.

Shi Shuyun sighed and said, "This is how people live. Let's go to a few more places tomorrow and buy everything.

Wake up early and go to the grocery store to queue up to buy meat, and buy more sausages. They won’t go bad if you keep them. I haven’t eaten Reedos sausages in several years.

Count how many meat tickets there are. I remember I bought all the meat tickets for that kid.

Shi Huizhen took out the tickets and counted them: "A total of 196 kilograms of meat tickets, which can buy a pig."

Shi Shuyun smacked her lips and said, "I'll buy 20 kilograms of red sausages, and the rest will be pork belly.

Your father works hard in the fields every day, and you and your brother must not be short of food when you are growing up. Without a good physique, it is useless to do anything. "

Shi Huizhen divided the tickets into two parts, giving each person half to avoid being too conspicuous.

The mother and daughter spent the night in silence gathering their energy to prepare for going out to buy pork for side dishes the next day. Pork is hard currency, and if you don't line up early you won't be able to buy even a single pig's hair.

These days people are short of oil and pork belly is the best food. If you are slow, it will be gone.
