Chapter 15



"Soldier, look at that girl over there, she's such a big eater! She finished such a big bowl of noodles in no time!"

Zhu Jianjun looked in the direction Liu Quan pointed, and just in time to catch up with Wen Nuan who looked up. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere was inevitably a little awkward.

It was obvious that the two grown men were gossiping and the girl heard it.

Zhu Jianjun smiled awkwardly, nodded, then retracted his gaze and reached out to hit Liu Quan.

"Let's go, why are you still sitting here when you've already finished eating?"

"Ah? Oh, oh, go, go this way!"

Liu Quan felt a little embarrassed when he realized what was happening. He smiled teasingly at Wen Nuan, but Wen Nuan ignored them.

I didn't expect that I would meet Zhu Jianjun in advance in this life. In my previous life, Zhu Jianjun had ridiculed her a lot for Zhang Zhenzhen.

In this life, she will never give him any chance to bully her again!

"That girl is so cold! She doesn't even smile! But she's pretty!"

After leaving the state-owned hotel, Liu Quan was still muttering to himself.

Zhu Jianjun couldn't help feeling a little annoyed as he listened to this. For some reason, he vaguely felt that the girl seemed to be somewhat hostile towards him.

"Okay, a grown man, always so talkative, let's go! Let's go home!"

"Hey, who are you talking about?"

Soon after the two of them left quarreling, Wen Nuan also put the leftover braised pork and dumplings into her lunch box. These were her dinner that night.

The bamboo house in the space has a preservation function. The food is kept in the same condition as when it was put in, so it is warm and there is no need to worry about the food going bad.

After leaving the state-owned hotel, Wen Nuan took a stroll to the nearby pigeon market. The pigeon market was different from the black market. The black market usually conducted transactions at night in the second half of the night, selling all kinds of goods from all over the world.

The pigeon market is different. It is usually open from 9 am to 3 pm.

They were all members of the commune from nearby villages or communities, or old ladies from certain households, who came to exchange eggs, food coupons and the like. Occasionally, there would be some who would sell wild animals.

Wen Nuan came here today to try her luck. She had almost bought other things, and the Wen family also had quilts and other things in stock.

But I still have no cotton for my coats and pants! Although it is summer now, I would like to sell them if I need money urgently!

You know, the winter in Northeast China is really cold, more than 30 degrees below zero, and you definitely can't live without cotton clothes and trousers.

If these two cannot be found, we will have to go to the Northeast before making plans.

The foreign trade store does sell down jackets, which are light and warm, but they are too expensive. Not only do they cost five yuan, but you also need foreign exchange coupons.

So Wen Nuan didn't consider that at all. Even though she had collected many treasures in the space, she was still a poor person at heart.

Besides, wearing a down jacket in the countryside would be a waste of time! She didn't want to be watched by everyone, especially in a place with many women, where there would be too much gossip!

When you walk into the pigeon market, most of the stalls have been closed by now, and even if there are still some stalls, there is nothing left.

"Auntie, please ask if there is anyone who can exchange tickets here!"

Wen Nuan walked to a cabbage stall and asked softly.

"You want to exchange your ticket? It looks unfamiliar, it's not from here!"

While the old lady was packing her things, she looked at Wen Nuan with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

"Auntie, you have a really sharp look in your eyes. I live over there by the machinery factory and I came here today to buy something. I'm going to the countryside soon, so I came here to try my luck and exchange some cotton tickets!"

After hearing what Wen Nuan said, the old lady was not so nervous anymore.

"Do you really want to exchange for cotton tickets?"

"Of course it's true?"

The old lady hesitated for a moment, then pointed to a middle-aged man not far ahead and said:

"That's Zhang San, he specializes in this, go ask him!"

"Okay! Thank you, ma'am, you are such a good person!"

The old lady smiled and didn't say anything. She quickly packed up her things and left in a hurry.

Wen Nuan walked straight towards the Zhang San that the old lady mentioned.

"Uncle, do you have cotton tickets?"

Zhang San heard the voice and turned around without looking at anyone. He was puzzled. Then he heard someone talking below. He lowered his head and saw warmth.

It’s not that Wen Nuan is too short. To be honest, although Wen Nuan is a little malnourished, she is now 1.57 meters tall!

The main reason was that Zhang San was too tall, at 1.9 meters tall, and when he stood there, he looked like a telephone pole.

"I'm sorry! I didn't see you for a moment. You're such a brave girl. You dare to come to the Dove Market to look for tickets by yourself!"

"What you said is true. We are all experienced businessmen. What can this young man do to me in broad daylight?"

"You're smart, little girl, but I don't have any cotton coupons, and this isn't the right season to sell them!"

Wen Nuan was somewhat disappointed to hear that there were no cotton tickets, but since she was already there, she decided to ask about other things.

"So what kind of tickets do you have?"

"What do you want? Tell me what you want, and I'll tell you if I have it!"

Wen Nuan thought about it and decided that she didn't need to buy a watch, but what about a bicycle? The Wen family didn't have any cheap bicycles for her to use. Although she didn't plan to buy a bicycle for the time being, she still had to get a ticket!

"There are bicycle tickets! And national food stamps, I want to exchange some too!"

"Thirty-one bicycle tickets, and one grain coupon for ten cents. How much do you want to change?"

This price is quite fair. Wen Nuan will stay in the countryside for five years, so the more food coupons the better.

"I want a bicycle ticket. I want all the national rations you have!"

Zhang San became excited when he heard this. He didn't expect that a big customer would come just when he was about to close his stall.

"You really want all of them? I have a national food coupon here!"

"Only one?"

To be honest, Wen Nuan was quite disappointed, she thought there would be two or three people!

"One piece of national food coupons, this is a lot. You don't know how hard it is to get national food coupons now. I have saved two months' worth of food coupons in this piece!"

Wen Nuan curled her lips, obviously not believing what he said, but she didn't say much.

"Okay, one for one, and I want the bicycle tickets. There are so many. Can you give me a discount?"

"It's not cheap, this is the lowest price. You can ask around in Kyoto, no one can offer a lower price than mine!"

Zhang San said this with great confidence, but Wen Nuan was not sure whether it was true or not. Other people's prices might not be as low as his, but they would definitely not be higher. After all, the prices of food coupons were actually quite transparent.

"Okay, let's do this!"

Wen Nuan took out ten yuan from her pocket and handed it over, handing over the money in one hand and the ticket in the other.

After clicking the quantity, the transaction is complete.

Wen Nuan counted them and found that the food coupons were exactly one by one, not a penny off.

He casually put it in his pocket, but in fact he entered the space.
