Chapter 14: Most of the Net Worth is Spent (2/2)



Lin Jianxue said nothing more and turned away.

She wrapped a scarf around her neck and walked around the black market, asking the prices of food coupons and meat coupons at each stall.

"Comrade, how do you sell these food coupons?"

"Sister, how much is a meat ticket?"

"Do you have industrial vouchers? How much are they?"

After asking around, she found that Old Man Li's offer was indeed not high.

Although there are some tickets on the black market that are cheaper than his, the number of those tickets is small or the quality is poor, and they are not as complete as Old Man Li's.

Lin Jianxue felt relieved and returned to Old Man Li's stall.

"Grain coupons, meat coupons, sugar coupons, industrial coupons, I want them all. I want them all. They're all national coupons."

When Old Man Li heard this, he was immediately delighted.

He rubbed his hands and awkwardly took out the tickets from his leather bag. As he counted them, he asked cheerfully, "Sister, what are you going to do with all these tickets? Are you going to send them to your relatives?"

These days, it's rare to find someone who can come up with so much money to buy tickets at once.

Lin Jianxue was looking down at the stack of tickets he took out. Hearing this, she raised her head, glanced at Old Man Li indifferently, and nodded.

"Well, my benefactor is in trouble, so I'm sending him some food coupons to help him out."

After she said this, Old Man Li understood everything.

In this day and age, who doesn't have a relative or friend in trouble? Those who still think of sending food coupons to others at this time are all kind-hearted and righteous people.

Old man Li felt a little more respect for Lin Jianxue, and his hands moved faster.

He counted the tickets quickly, muttering, "Don't worry, sister. I, Old Man Li, am a business man of integrity! I promise to count them clearly for you, not a single one missing!"

"Big sister, I have five 50-jin national food coupons. One coupon is worth ten jin, and ten jin is worth four yuan, so the total is 100 yuan."

Old man Li first counted the food coupons, folded them neatly, and handed them to Lin Jianxue.

"Just click."

Lin Jianxue took the food coupon and looked at it carefully. It was indeed a national food coupon, and it was in good condition, without any damage or stains.

"There are 15 meat tickets in total, each ticket is one dollar and fifty cents, the total is 22.5 yuan." Old man Li counted out another 15 meat tickets. These meat tickets were smaller than the grain tickets and had pig patterns printed on them.

"A half-pound candy ticket costs fifty cents. I have five here, totaling two dollars and a half."

"Industrial coupons are valid throughout the country. They cost 5 yuan each, so if you want them all, it'll be 50 yuan. If you want all of them, I have a few soap coupons, match coupons, and cloth coupons in my bag. I'll give them to you as a gift."

As Old Man Li spoke, he took out a stack of small tickets from his bag and stuffed them all into Lin Jianxue's hands.

"These are just some old things. Take them. They're not worth much. Consider them a small token of my appreciation."

He said this in a nice way, doing a favor while getting rid of those small receipts.

"100+22.5+2.5+50... a total of 175 yuan." Old man Li rubbed his hands with a smile and looked at Lin Jianxue. "Miss, just order it. If there is no problem, we will pay for the goods."

175 yuan...

This time, she really lost most of her net worth.
