Chapter 28 Being targeted by Jiayi, Ma Leizi leads the way

"What do you mean by the Grade B cigarette ticket you just mentioned?"

"Class B cigarette tickets are divided into strip tickets and box tickets. Strip tickets can buy one cigarette, while box tickets can only buy one box."

"I see! That's really unfortunate. I didn't know I needed a ticket to buy cigarettes, so I won't buy any for now."

"It's ok."

In fact, what Li Jiayi didn’t know was that August 1st didn’t just increase the cigarette coupons.

Instead, there are thirty-six types of commodity tickets, including cigarette tickets.

"Then I'll give you the change."

"Ok."

There was no way, as more and more commodities required tickets to purchase, and he didn't have anything he wanted to buy at the moment.

After putting away the change, Li Jiayi picked up two cans of White Rabbit Milk Candy and prepared to go home.

It seems that in the future, not only will we have to collect national grain coupons and sugar coupons, but we will also have to collect some tobacco and alcohol coupons.

Li Jiayi is also a wine lover! Unfortunately, he is too young to drink now.

Not long after leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Jiayi went into an alley and put away the two cans of White Rabbit milk candy.

After rushing all the way, I finally got home before dinner.

"Mom, Dad, Big Sister, Second Sister, I'm back."

"Go wash your hands quickly and eat right away." Ye Xin said.

"Okay Mom, I'll go right away."

Li Jiayi took down his schoolbag and kettle, ran to the faucet and started washing his face.

After washing their hands, the family came to the living room of the main hall.

"Big sister, second sister, how was your study today?"

"That's good. After you taught us last time, I felt that the questions were just like that.

“Don’t be complacent. There is always room for learning.”

After finishing his meal, Li Jiayi ran to his schoolbag and grabbed something from it.

"Sisters, this is a reward for you." After saying that, he placed a handful of White Rabbit milk candies in front of them.

"White Rabbit Milk Candy!" Li Jiaqi looked at Li Jiayi in surprise.

"Little brother, where did you get this from?" the elder sister continued to ask.

But she knew that all the sugar coupons in the house had been put away by her mother.

Although Li Jiayi was very popular, his mother would never give him the candy coupons because they were saved for the New Year.

Most importantly, the White Rabbit candy is expensive! One tael of candy ticket can buy five pieces, eight cents each.

In other words, the retail price is more expensive than the canned price.

A can contains five jin, which means two hundred and fifty pills. The price including the can is eighteen yuan.

If the price is eight cents per piece, 250 pieces can be sold for twenty cents. No wonder the supply and marketing cooperative wants to sell them.

"I picked it up."

As soon as Li Jiayi finished speaking, the second sister said, "Impossible."

Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at her and said, "You also know it's impossible?"

Hearing him say this, Li Jialin couldn't help but understand what was going on. She curled her lips and said, "Mom is really partial. Is it just because my brother is a boy?"

The second sister thought that her mother gave Li Jiayi a sugar ticket, because without the sugar ticket, she couldn’t buy sugar.

"Stop talking nonsense." The eldest sister Li Jiaqi quickly stopped the second sister and said.

We continued selling for two days, and together with what we sold on the first day, we sold a total of more than 2,000 kilograms of wild boar meat.

Li Jiayi now has nearly 1,800 yuan in his hands.

Of course, this is excluding the money spent on buying tickets for these two days.

Li Jiayi also collected some tickets these two days, but they were all sugar tickets and national grain tickets.

He didn't get any of the cigarette and alcohol tickets he wanted. In addition, Li Jiayi also wanted to buy a bicycle ticket, but he didn't get any either.

This is not to say that there are no bicycle tickets in Pigeon City, it's just that he hasn't encountered them.

He wanted a bicycle ticket not to buy a bicycle for himself. With his height, he is not suitable for riding a bicycle.

Of course, I bought the bicycles for my parents, as my dad, Li Aimin, has trouble walking with his legs.

He always comes home a little later than others when they get off work at the same time, so Li Jiayi wants to buy one for them.

With bicycles, it is much more convenient and faster for my parents to go to and from get off work.

There were none in Pigeon City, but he knew a place that must have bicycle tickets, and he could buy them there.

That’s right, it’s the black market, because the black market is basically about large transactions, and a bicycle ticket is nothing in the black market.

But after thinking about it, I decided to give up. Although there are few bicycle tickets in Pigeon City, I will run into them sooner or later. There is no need to go to the black market.

"Since I can't buy tobacco and alcohol tickets in Pigeon City, there is one place where I can definitely get them." Li Jiayi said to himself.

But he still needs to prepare well before going.

Li Jiayi ran into the house, opened a sack under the bed, and took out half a plate of sesame seeds.

I bought this kind of Ma Lei Zi at Liucun Commune when I went to my grandfather's house during the Chinese New Year. You can't buy this kind of Ma Lei Zi in the city.

There are fifty pieces in this plate, and there are more than thirty left now. He will put one or two in when he has nothing to do.

The next morning, after the adults went to work, Li Jiayi came to the gate of a large courtyard.

The people living in this compound are all prominent figures, they are all leaders of various units.

Yes, you can’t get tobacco and alcohol tickets in other places, but there is definitely no problem in this place.

Li Jiayi found a big tree not far from the gate of the compound and sat down.

He took out five firecrackers from the space, then broke off a piece of incense and lit it with a match.

A loud "boom" sounded in the air.

This is the bomb that Li Jiayi just threw into the air.

"Damn, this is too loud." Li Jiayi said and rubbed his ears.

Less than two minutes later, another loud bang was heard.

Even some passers-by stopped to watch.

But he didn't plan to let it go, at least not for the time being, because he was waiting.

Seeing that he was not letting go, the onlookers quickly left.

Sure enough, at this time, children came out of the yard one after another.

The youngest are in their eighties or nineties, the oldest are only fourteen or fifteen, and there are more and more of them.

It seems that there are quite a lot of people living in this compound, otherwise there wouldn't be so many children.

Of course, there was no family planning at that time, and it was normal for a family to have several children.

"Kid, were you the one who fired that cannon just now?" asked a boy who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old.

"That's right!" Li Jia nodded.

"What kind of cannon is that? Why is it so loud?"

"This is called a mine. It uses explosives and the fuse is a detonator."

When Li Jiayi bought this fried dough stick at the supply and marketing cooperative on Liucun Commune Street, the salesperson told him that it was used to fry wild boars.

There are many mountains near Liucun Commune, and there are many villages at the foot of the mountains. Wild boars often come down the mountains and destroy the crops in these villages.

This Ma Leizi said he was going to fry the wild boar, but in fact he was just going to drive it away.

Of course, if you want to drive away wild boars, it is not enough to just make noise, you also have to cause some damage to the wild boars.

"Are you selling this Ma Leizi?" asked the young man just now.

"Not for sale." Then he continued, "Although not for sale, you can exchange it for something. I'm going to my grandparents' house soon and want to buy some cigarettes and alcohol for my grandfather, but I don't have a ticket."

 PS: Love is always there no matter how far we are apart. Can you please give me some votes? Thank you!
