Chapter 112: Going to Pigeon City with Three Dogs
Chapter 112 Taking Three Dogs to Pigeon City
After coming out of the back door, Li Jiayi walked towards the bus stop. As for Asheng and the others, he had already put them into the space.
You still have to bring the dog, but don't take it out in the city. After all, the dog is too big and can easily scare people.
Jianguomen is quite far from where he lives, so it is a bit unrealistic to walk there. It is faster to take the bus.
Five or six minutes later, Li Jiayi arrived at the bus stop, but this bus was a trolleybus.
There are quite a lot of trolleybuses, basically one every ten minutes or so. He was lucky as a bus came right after he arrived.
I bought a ticket for five cents and sat down wherever I wanted.
Half an hour later, the bus arrived at Jianguomen, which is the terminal.
There is no way, the tram only runs in the city and there is no way to go out of the city because there is no electricity outside.
After getting off the bus, Li Jiayi walked out of the city. This Pigeon Market was a little far from Jianguomen, about one kilometer away.
It took him about ten minutes to get here. He found a deserted place and released Ah Sheng and the others.
Then he made a few small baskets in the space, divided a torn sack into three parts, and used them as cushions for Ah Sheng and the other two.
It just so happened that each dog carried two small baskets, of course, the baskets were filled with meat, not much, only about 40 to 50 kilograms per dog.
Adding the fifty or so kilograms that Li Jiayi carried, this time the total was two hundred kilograms.
Although the weather is not particularly cold now, it is already chilly, especially in the morning and evening, so you have to wear a coat.
Li Jiayi didn't want to be too conspicuous, so he took out a handkerchief, folded the two corners together, covered his face with it, and tied it behind his head.
In this case, the upper half of the face is exposed, and everything below the nose is covered. I guess even acquaintances may not recognize you.
Besides, it is impossible to meet acquaintances in this place, because including the courtyards near No. 7 Courtyard, if you go to Pigeon City, they are either Jianguomen or Fuxingmen.
I would never come here, mainly because it's too far. I have to pay extra for the bus, but it's all the same, so who would travel so far?
Only Li Jiayi doesn't care about this little thing, and he is here to make money, not to spend it.
Asheng and the others were carrying more than 50 kilograms of meat, and it seemed like nothing was wrong at all. They looked extremely relaxed, which also made him feel relieved.
Soon, the man and three dogs arrived at the Pigeon Market. Everyone they met would quickly get away for fear of being bitten by Asheng and the others.
This also made Li Jiayi very helpless, because in this way, he would not be able to sell meat!
Li Jiayi quickly found a place, put down the basket, and then took the basket off Asheng and the others.
"sit."
A Sheng and the others sat on the ground obediently, almost motionless.
"People coming from the south or north, don't miss it if you pass by. It's fresh pork. Don't worry, my dog won't bite you if you don't provoke it."
"Little comrade, do they really not bite?" an old man asked from a distance.
"Yes, they don't bite, as long as you don't provoke them."
"It's good that you don't bite me, little comrade, give me two pounds of meat."
"can."
Li Jiayi took out a two-pound piece of meat and handed it over, and took two dollars from the old man.
People are like this. When they saw that everything was fine, someone came up immediately. After all, this is pork, and it is hard to find it! But there are not many pigeons for sale in the market.
This is really the case of "the quick hand gets the quick hand".
In less than half an hour, the 200 kilograms of pork he brought were sold out. He was speechless!
In fact, this is normal, because work will start tomorrow and many people don’t know when they will come to Pigeon City next time.
If I come across someone selling pigeon meat in the pigeon market, of course I can't let it go. Not to mention 200 kilograms, even 2,000 kilograms wouldn't be enough to sell in a day.
He didn't plan to sell so many in one day, and since they were selling so fast, he decided not to sell any more. He let Asheng and the others carry the empty baskets, and Li Jiayi went shopping in the pigeon market.
If you see someone selling tickets, go up and ask them if they have national food coupons, sugar coupons, and non-staple food coupons.
If he has it, he will buy it. If he doesn’t have it, he will leave. He doesn’t need any other tickets for the time being. The national food coupons, sugar coupons and non-staple food coupons are hard currency.
You can buy more of this thing and put it in a static space, and take it out when you want to eat it.
You have to know that by this time next year, there will be nowhere to buy food, food will be in short supply, and non-staple food will definitely be reduced.
Not to mention side dishes, even the amount of alcohol will be reduced a lot, and many wineries have even stopped production directly.
It’s not that we don’t want to produce, but there is no food. In addition, the policy does not allow production, so we have no choice but to close down.
Of course, this closure is different from other closures. This closure is temporary. We will be notified when it will be resumed.
Li Jiayi knew this, so he was stockpiling wine, sugar, and non-staple food. As for grain, he didn't need it at all.
Just exchange some national food coupons for backup. His family doesn’t need them, but someone else does!
You should know that in 1961 and early 1962, a food coupon worth one kilogram could be sold for four or five yuan on the black market.
This is no joke! There is evidence to prove it, and you can find it by searching on your phone in the future.
Of course, the price of grain is similar to this. In fact, grain is very cheap. As long as you have a ticket, you can go to the grain station and buy one. The price is the same as it is now.
The main reason is that there are no food coupons! That’s why food coupons are so expensive.
As for buying food directly, don't be ridiculous, no one would be willing to sell food! It is life-saving stuff.
So the only option was to buy food coupons at the black market, and then go to the grain station to buy grain.
It is also because of this that the police turned a blind eye to the black market during the three-year period.
You can't force people to death! Although the food coupons on the black market are expensive, they can keep people alive!
Some public security officers even went directly to the black market to buy food coupons. They covered their faces anyway and no one recognized each other.
Of course, this is a later story, but it also shows the importance of food coupons.
This is also the reason why Li Jiayi collected so many national food coupons.
But unfortunately, the local food coupons are time-limited, otherwise he could have received more.
Just as Li Jiayi finished trading sugar tickets with a middle-aged woman, a middle-aged man approached him and asked, "Little comrade, do you want coal tickets?"
Li Jia was stunned for a moment and said, "Coal ticket?"
"Yes, the weather is getting cold, so we must stock up on some coal! Otherwise, there won't be enough to burn."
Li Jiayi shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want the coal ticket."
Just kidding, he still has 120 tons of anthracite in his space, which is arguably the best coal.
If he burns three tons of coal in one winter, it will be enough to burn for 40 years. Why does he need coal coupons? Maybe he has no place to use the coal coupons at home.
"Uh!" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay then! I'll ask someone else."
Coal tickets are easy to sell because basically everyone needs them.
