Chu Tian was happy in his heart, but he looked at the salesperson with a puzzled look on his face, "Sister, what's wrong?"
The salesperson glanced at his colleague who was knitting a sweater across from him, then leaned over to Chu Tian and whispered, "Brother, it doesn't matter whether you want a stove ticket or not..."
Chu Tian pretended to be surprised and asked, "Ah? Really?"
The salesperson nodded slightly. "Really, really, do you have enough industrial tickets?"
Chu Tian dug into his pocket, took out a dozen industrial papers and counted them, "One, two, three, sixteen..."
The salesperson thought for a moment and felt a little embarrassed. "Brother, you, you want both?"
Chu Tian nodded naively, "Yes, the house is just missing a stove and an iron pot..."
The salesperson hesitated for a moment before moving closer to Chu Tian and saying, "I can find a way to make up for the industrial and furnace tickets you're short of, but do you still have the chicken you mentioned..."
Chu Tian was surprised, "You want to switch with me?"
The salesperson nodded excitedly, "Yeah."
Chu Tian, "How do I change? The chickens I raise at home weigh four or five kilograms after removing their internal organs..."
The salesperson thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "Chicken is one yuan per kilogram now..."
Chu Tian had a look on his face that said, "You're kidding me!" "Sister, it's true that chicken costs one dollar per kilogram, but how often can you get it? Don't you know better than me?"
"Forget it, I still..."
The saleswoman smiled awkwardly. She was really trying to trick Chu Tian. Seeing that he was unhappy, she interrupted him and said, "Brother, brother, the price is negotiable. How about this? One dollar and twenty cents per kilogram. I'll help you pay for the remaining tickets."
Seeing Chu Tian's hesitant expression, the salesperson hurriedly said, "Brother, this price can't be compared with the black market, but you may not know that industrial tickets and furnace tickets can also be sold on the black market for money, especially furnace tickets. Because they are issued in very small quantities, a single ticket can be sold for two or three yuan..."
Chu Tian listened to the salesperson's words, pretending to hesitate, and then reluctantly agreed after a while, "Well, okay..."
The saleswoman's eyes lit up, "Then, chicken..."
Chu Tian said to the salesperson embarrassedly, "It's outside. I'll go get it. But, sister, do you have a cloth bag? I can't just bring a chicken in directly, right?"
Seeing that the deal was done, the saleswoman nodded immediately and said, "Yes, yes, I'll get it for you..."
As he said that, he took out a half-worn cloth bag that had been placed under the counter for a long time and handed it to Chu Tian.
Chu Tian took the cloth bag and came back with a big rooster weighing more than five kilograms. "Sister, we weighed this chicken at home. It's about five kilograms and two ounces. I'll count it as five kilograms for you..."
"Oh, brother, you're too polite, but your chickens are really well raised..."
The salesperson took it, took a look at the chicken inside, and weighed it. He knew that the weight of the chicken, excluding the weight of the cloth bag, would only be more than 5.2 kilograms, not less.
Chu Tian smiled naively, "The elderly at home feed them with pure grain, and the children usually dig earthworms to feed them..."
The salesperson put the cloth bag next to the window in a good mood, then walked back to the counter and asked, "Brother, what size pot and stove do you want?"
Chu Tian looked around, unsure of the right size. "Big sister, do you have any recommendations?"
The salesperson thought for a moment and said, "Brother, are you married and have children? Have you split up the family?"
Chu Tian nodded, "Yes, yes, we are preparing to split up."
The salesperson directly took out a medium-sized iron pot with a wooden handle and a medium-sized iron stove. "You look young, and you will definitely have more than one or two children in the future. This medium-sized iron pot is enough for a family of five or six. And this medium-sized stove can be used not only for the medium-sized pot, but also for a large pot. When the family grows in the future, you can upgrade to a large pot..."
Chu Tian was embarrassed. He wanted to say that his family might only have two children in the future and no more. After all, although he was a man in body, he was still a woman in heart. How could two women have children?
However, there is no need to explain this, Chu Tian smiled.
"Sister, then I need a medium-sized iron pot and a medium-sized stove. Please help me calculate how much they will cost."
The salesperson counted on the abacus and said, "A medium-sized iron pot is twenty-seven, and a medium-sized stove is thirty-seven, so the total is sixty-four. Minus six dollars, that's fifty-eight dollars."
Chu Tian counted out fifty-eight yuan from his pocket and handed it to the salesperson along with sixteen industrial tickets. "Thank you, sister..."
The salesperson confirmed the bill and waved his hand with a smile, "You're welcome, you're welcome..."
Then he leaned closer to Chu Tian and said, "Brother, if you still need a ticket next time, you can continue to exchange it with me. If I don't have one, I can find someone to exchange it for you..."
Chu Tian rolled his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "What about the fruit? Do you want to exchange it?"
The salesperson was surprised. "Fruit? You have fruit? What kind of fruit?"
"Apples and pears."
In fact, there are other fruits produced in the south, but transportation is not convenient in this era. It is really hard to explain why he took out these rare fruits in this era!
The salesperson nodded hurriedly, "Change it, how do I change it?"
Chu Tian pointed to the bicycles placed at the counter opposite and said, "I want to exchange my bicycle ticket..."
The salesperson hesitated. "Brother, do you know how much a bicycle ticket costs outside?"
Chu Tian raised an eyebrow, "How much?"
The salesperson said, "Brother, I know you are an honest man, and I won't cheat you. Bicycle tickets on the black market can be sold for fifty or sixty..."
