"Yes...I have!" The old lady nodded repeatedly and was about to take the fish ticket into her pocket, but was stopped by Li Jinfeng.
"Don't use it now, give it to me later!" Li Jinfeng reminded the old lady in a low voice.
After she finished speaking, she said loudly, "Aunt, why are you queuing up to buy meat? It just so happened that when I went out, I got an extra meat ticket. I'll pay for you first, and then you can go back and deliver it to my house later, okay?"
The old lady was not stupid. After hearing what Li Jinfeng said, she naturally smiled and agreed, "Okay!"
Li Jinfeng accompanied the old lady to buy half a pound of meat, and the two of them left the butcher shop leisurely.
Along the way, Li Jinfeng and the old lady talked and laughed. At first glance, they really looked like an aunt and niece, so they did not arouse anyone's suspicion!
When they reached the corner, the old lady said to Li Jinfeng, "Girl, thank you so much for what you did just now. If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't be able to buy this meat back. I don't know when I'll be able to buy meat again."
After saying that, he took out two fish tickets from his pocket and handed them directly to Li Jinfeng, "This is for you!"
Li Jinfeng took a look at the remaining tickets, one of which weighed one and a half kilograms.
Together, it weighs three pounds.
"Old lady, this is too much. I will give you a meat ticket for half a pound." Li Jinfeng said.
After saying this, he was about to stuff the meat ticket back into the old lady's hands, but she refused to take it.
"It's okay. My third son works in a fish factory and can get three kilograms of fish tickets every month! He can usually bring back a lot of fish. We don't lack fish at home. But if I don't buy the meat today, even if I use ten kilograms of fish, I may not be able to exchange for half a kilogram of meat." said the old lady.
Although there was some exaggeration in her words, meat was indeed more precious to the old lady than fish.
When Li Jinfeng heard what the old lady said, she stopped refusing.
There is no difference between a hundred yuan and ten cents for a rich person.
To a poor person, one cent is as precious as a thousand dollars to a rich person.
Scarcity makes things valuable. Many things cannot be calculated by value.
"By the way, old lady, do you still have fish coupons? I can exchange them with you. One pound of grain coupons for one pound of fish coupons, but they must be valid nationwide." Li Jinfeng said.
She is going to Jiangbei soon, and she might even need a fish ticket to buy fish.
Although there are all kinds of fish in her space and it is convenient to take them out, she still needs some proof to feel confident when taking things.
Otherwise, if you don’t even have a fish ticket, how can you say that the fish you bought from the space was bought from a grocery store or a fish stall?
"Used nationwide? I need to go back and ask my third child."
The fish tickets in the old lady's house are all regional tickets and cannot be used outside the southern province.
"Okay, then, old lady, let's make an appointment. How about 10:30 tomorrow morning?" Li Jinfeng asked.
"Okay!" the old lady agreed immediately.
Food coupons are much more valuable than fish coupons. If she had national fish coupons, she could definitely exchange them for them. Not to mention, this little girl helped her through the difficult times.
After separating from the old lady, Li Jinfeng queued up to buy fish.
There are obviously fewer people at the fish stall.
Soon it was Li Jinfeng's turn.
"Hello, comrade. What kind of fish are available this morning?" Li Jinfeng asked.
The fishmonger glanced at Li Jinfeng and asked, "Do you have a fish ticket?"
"Yes!" Li Jinfeng took out the two fish tickets in her hand and shook them.
The fishmonger finally spoke: "Do you want some fresh yellow croaker?"
