Chapter 98 Ticket Exchange
When Wang Yuanchao heard this condition, his heart skipped a beat. After thinking for a while, Wang Yuanchao said,
"Sister-in-law, this condition is quite demanding, but I still agree. However, I have to find the ticket for the sewing machine first.
When I find the ticket, I will trouble you to go with me and
we will go to discuss the details with Aunt Du."
Seeing that Wang Yuanchao actually agreed to such harsh conditions, Wang Hua opened his mouth awkwardly, swallowed his words, and reorganized his words and said:
"Okay, Yuan Chao, we'll come together then."
Wang Yuanchao saw Wang Hua's hesitation and chuckled, "Sister-in-law, it's okay. After all, marriage is a major event in life. It only happens once in a girl's life. As long as I can afford it, I am willing to give it to her. I also hope that the girl I like can marry me in glory."
I have already died once. If in this difficult era, I cannot even get married on my own, have to hold back on everything, and cannot enjoy myself in time, I might as well be dead.
Seeing that Wang Yuanchao had made up his mind, Wang Hua stopped trying to persuade him, walked out of the office and went to the kitchen.
Wang Yuanchao put the chair in the office away and sat down. Then his consciousness entered the space and he counted the national tickets he had brought from Star City. There were indeed no tickets for sewing machines, watches, or radios.
So he used his consciousness to kill a 300-pound wild boar, cut the meat into long strips, separated the meat from the bones, washed the blood offal with river water in the canal, put the bones and meat into a static space, and put the offal separately in a cloth bag.
Wang Yuanchao walked out of the farm and went directly to the brigade headquarters. He asked for leave from Secretary Zeng, asked him to issue a letter of introduction to the provincial capital, and then rode his bicycle to the provincial capital.
Wang Yuanchao pedaled very fast along the way. Half an hour later, he saw the intercity line of the black market. Finding a deserted place, Wang Yuanchao took out a sack, put the whole 200-pound wild boar meat into the sack, and also took out the pig offal, put them separately, and tied them to the back of the bicycle.
After entering the city, we drove towards the machinery factory's residential quarters. Soon we arrived at the doorstep of Aunt Qu, where I had sold meat last time.
"Aunt Qu, Aunt Qu, are you there?"
"Yes, yes, hey, you are the young man from last time, hey, hurry up, come in quickly."
Wang Yuanchao pushed his bicycle into Aunt Qu's yard and said with a smile, "Aunt Qu, are you alone at home?"
"Well, the grandchildren are all in school, and the old man in the family has gone to work."
"Three generations living under one roof, Aunt Qu is so lucky."
"Haha, that's it, young man. Is there meat in this sack?"
Wang Yuanchao carried the sack to Aunt Qu's house, opened the sack, and showed Aunt Qu the whole wild boar, with its fat and lean meat, and said:
"Aunt Qu, I'm getting married, but I don't have a ticket. In the city, you need three turns and one ring to get married.
I thought that there is only one chance to get married in a lifetime, so I also wanted to buy a three-wheeler and a ring for my wife, so I went deep into the mountains and shot a wild boar. This time I came to you to exchange it for a ticket for a sewing machine, a watch, and a radio. "
When Aunt Qu heard that it was wild boar meat again, she smiled. As for the tickets that Wang Yuanchao mentioned, that was not a problem for her family. After all, her old man was a senior leader of the machinery factory. Tickets were something that ordinary people lacked, but Aunt Qu's family had them. What her family lacked was oil and water.
After all, the ration for everyone in the city is limited. The old man in the family can still have a hospitality meal at the factory, but the people at home don’t have any hospitality meals. The adults and children in the family are seriously lacking meat.
Aunt Qu looked at the meat in the sack and said, "Young man, I don't know your name yet. How many pounds of meat do you have this time?"
Wang Yuanchao thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Qu, you can just call me Xiao Wang. I didn't weigh the meat this time, but I brought a whole wild boar meat, and there was also a piece of pork fat in it. The meat is at least more than 200 kilograms.
Aunt Qu, I am sorry to bother you this time. I also have this piece of pig offal as a gift for you. Please don't mind."
Aunt Qu knew that Wang Yuanchao was cautious, so she did not ask for his full name.
Looking at the pig offal handed over by Wang Yuanchao, he refused to take it and said, "Hey, you are a kid in the countryside, it's not easy to make money, how can I take your things?
Put it aside, we will settle the bill together later. We will give you the amount later."
Wang Yuanchao ignored Aunt Qu's refusal and directly pulled up the cloth bag, went to Aunt Qu's kitchen, poured out the pig offal, then walked to Aunt Qu's side with a smile and said:
"Aunt Qu, we are from the countryside, and although it's not easy to make money, I'm a good hunter, and there's never a shortage of game at home. I'm sorry to bother you this time, but this is a little gift from me, please don't refuse it anyway."
Aunt Qu saw Wang Yuanchao's shameless look and smiled kindly, saying, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll take it, I'll take it. Xiao Wang, if you have any problems next time, just come to Aunt Qu directly, and don't send anything else."
"Okay, Aunt Qu, I'll do as you say."
"Okay, do you only want three-turn-one-ring tickets? Cloth tickets, sugar tickets, and non-staple food tickets?"
Wang Yuanchao nodded happily and said:
"Aunt Qu, if there is, that would be great."
Aunt Qu said with a smile: "I have a lot of other tickets at home. I'll give them to you later. I'll get the scale and we'll weigh the meat to see how many pounds it is."
"Okay, Aunt Qu, thank you very much, you have helped me a lot."
After Aunt Qu took out the scale, Wang Yuanchao helped hang the sack on the scale, then lifted the sack with both hands and let Aunt Qu weigh it.
"Okay, Xiao Wang, the meat is 246 kilograms, put it down."
"Okay, Aunt Qu, the price is still the same as last time. Those who have tickets will have priority in exchange. What do you think?"
Aunt Qu was shocked, then shook her head and said:
"Xiao Wang, last time I took advantage of you because your meat was all lean and only cost 70 cents.
This time your meat has fat and lard. This kind of meat costs one dollar and one cent per pound in the vegetable market now even if you have a meat ticket. It will be more expensive without a meat ticket, at least two dollars per pound.
This won’t work. This won’t work.”
Wang Yuanchao saw that Aunt Qu was very determined and did not insist. He said, "Aunt Qu, how about this? You can use other tickets to replace the meat tickets.
How about you give me one yuan per pound for this meat?"
After thinking about it, Aunt Qu realized that this was Wang Yuanchao's kindness and he wanted to thank her, so she said no more, "Xiao Wang, wait a minute, I'll go find the ticket and money for you."
"Okay, Aunt Qu, I'll wait for you here."
"Okay, I'll be quick."
After saying that, Aunt Qu walked into the room.
