Chapter 202: Tighten your belt to pay off your debts
Sure enough, just like Ye Lin thought, seeing Zhai Ying coming back, Li Ran hurriedly came over and asked, "Are you going home?"
"I'm sorry Auntie, I ......"
"It's okay, it's okay, are your parents okay?"
"They're fine. â
"That's good. â
After Li Ran finished speaking, he glanced behind Zhai Ying, but didn't see Ye Lin, so he asked, "What about the stinky boy?"
He went to the garage. â
"This stinky boy. Li Ran shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Now if anyone is saying that her son is stupid, she must be in a hurry with someone, this kid is too good, he knows that he will be cleaned up when he comes back, and he runs away without even entering the house.

Ye Lin really went to the car repair shop, no way, he didn't have a place to go if he didn't go to the car repair shop at this time.
Because it is now work time, there is no one in the car repair shop, and when Ye Lin came over, Uncle Jiang was enjoying the shade at the door.
Seeing Ye Lin coming, he hurriedly stood up and asked, "Ye Lin, why hasn't the bicycle sent by the customer yesterday been repaired?"
"Yesterday, Ye Lin didn't come over, did you explain to the customer?"
"Don't worry, they're all regular customers, I'll ask them to come and pick them up tomorrow. â
"Well, in this way, when they come to pick up the car tomorrow, give them a cheap one or two dollars. â
"Ah, Ye Lin doesn't need this, if it's cheaper for one piece or two, there will be no profit. â
"It's okay, no matter what, it's also that we delay other people's time, even if it's a loss, we can only lose ourselves. â
"Alright then, I see. Uncle Jiang nodded.
Ye Lin wanted to go and see how many bicycles had not been repaired, but before he could pass, he remembered something, and then turned back to Uncle Jiang and said, "Uncle Jiang, I still have some things to do these days, so you can go sell grain after these few days." â
"What?Ye Lin, why did you start so early this year?"
You must know that every year it starts to sell after the start of school in September, and now it is only June, almost three months in advance.
"Sell a batch first, don't sell too much, just sell it until July. â
"Okay, I got it. â
After Zhai Ying finished the college entrance examination, Ye Lin would have nothing to do, and Zhai Ying could also come over to help take a look, so Ye Lin planned to let Uncle Jiang sell food for a while.
This is in the city, there is no such thing as no shortage of food when it comes down, and there is no shortage of food in the city all year round.
Especially after the implementation of the new policy this year, the food shortage has become even more serious.
In the past, many things were purchased with the "Dì Dū Resident Non-staple Food Purchase Certificate", and it was calculated on a per capita basis, which means that both adults and children had so much food every month.
It has now been changed to a voucher for residents, and it has been changed to a voucher supply.
Anyone who has an official household registration in Dì Dū (the so-called "commercial grain") is issued a monthly food stamp.
Food stamps are divided into: coarse grain stamps, flour stamps, rice stamps...... Food rations vary from person to person by age.
Three pounds from a baby, six pounds for children, and eight pounds for children...... to adults ranging from 21 pounds.
Flour accounts for 20 percent of the total, rice accounts for 10 percent, and the rest supplies coarse grains such as cornmeal, dried sweet potatoes, sometimes sorghum flour, and fresh sweet potatoes.
As the saying goes, half the size of the child eats the poor, and the amount of food for children is not smaller than that of adults, but the amount of food for children has been reduced too much.
Since it is supplied by tickets, food stamps have naturally become very hot, and now there is no food stamp at all in the pigeon market, so how can you say it! You can't buy a pound of local food stamps even for five cents.
And now the price of food stamps has also changed, it used to be expensive for national food stamps, and now it is expensive for local food stamps.
Because the national food stamps can only be eaten in restaurants, local food stamps can buy food, and Ye Lin heard that now a pound of local food stamps can be sold for one dollar in the pigeon market.
You must know that the wages of workers on the front line of production are only thirty or forty yuan per month.
A pound of national general food stamps was also sold for eight cents, and a pound of local face stamps was sold for one piece of two.
Chen Jing is so good at doing business, and she hasn't received food stamps for several months, and of course, Ye Lin has long stopped letting her accept them.
Since he didn't accept it, of course he sold it, and during this period of time, Chen Jing helped him sell food stamps.
The price of food stamps is at this price, and the grain can be imagined, in the pigeon market, a pound of flour can be sold for a piece of five.
To put it mildly, it's a lot more expensive than taking a ticket to buy meat.
But there is no way, the food supplied can only make you starving, and if you don't want to starve, you can only spend a lot of money to buy it.
However, unless they are hungry, ordinary people will not buy food, and those who can spend a lot of money to buy food stamps and food are rich people.
To be honest, even Ye Lin didn't expect this change, and he didn't read less documentary books of this era in later generations, but there was no such thing at all.
The reason why Ye Lin collected so many food stamps was because he thought of using it when he was alive, at that time, everyone was fighting every day, not producing, and there was a shortage of materials, but he didn't expect that there would be two or three years left, and now he will use it, and it is more expensive than then.
Not only is it more expensive than at that time, but it is not a star and a half, but when he came back, Ye Lin understood what was going on, it turned out that it was because of Lao Maozi, that is, to repay debts, and tightened his belt to repay debts.
This made Ye Lin's impression of Lao Maozi extremely bad, and Ye Lin secretly swore that one day, he would definitely let Lao Maozi repay this debt.
To earn the money of ordinary people, Ye Lin has a psychological burden, but when it comes to making money from rich people, Ye Lin has never been soft, so he is ready to let Uncle Jiang put a batch of white noodles out.
As for the price, it is sold at a piece of five pounds, and it is five a piece to buy food stamps, and Ye Lin is a lot cheaper to sell for one piece of five.
Of course, you can't just sell white noodles, Ye Lin has thought about it, and he has to sell a batch of sweet potatoes out, and now the price of sweet potatoes in the pigeon market has reached three cents a catty, to be honest, this makes many ordinary people can't afford to eat.
Since April, when the belt was tightened to repay the debt, the grain has risen vigorously, of course, this is talking about the pigeon market, and the supply and marketing cooperatives are still the original price.
But now you need food stamps to buy grain from supply and marketing cooperatives, and if you don't have food stamps, you won't be sold at all.
It is not so much a strong increase in the price of grain, but a strong increase in the price of food stamps, and many people cannot afford to buy it, even if you buy a grain stamp, you have to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy food.
That is to say, you spend a piece of five cents to buy a pound of white flour food stamps in the pigeon market, and when you go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy grain, you have to spend another dime and six cents to buy white noodles.
Sweet potatoes are sold to ordinary people, and the price can't be high, but it can't be too low, because it's easy to have problems if it's too low, so Ye Lin is ready to let Uncle Jiang sell it for two cents a catty.
This price, in terms of now, is definitely a conscience price, and he also wants to sell cheaply, but he always has to leave a way for others to live, it is not easy for anyone, and the same is true for those who buy and sell.
On top of that, there are only a limited number of Ye Lin here, so the impact on the entire Dì Dū is not very great.
"Boss, boss, help!" At this time, one of Ye Lin's younger brothers, Qi Bin, ran over on a bicycle.
Qi Bin is not one of those little brothers in the nearby miscellaneous courtyard, he is the little brother who helped Ye Lin sell things before.
"I said, why are you kid in a hurry?" Ye Lin frowned.
Qi Bin glanced at Uncle Jiang, and stopped talking about it, Ye Lin still didn't understand, so he said: "Uncle Jiang is his own person, just say anything." â
"Well, it's such a boss, get me another 200 catties of local food stamps, and ask for white face stamps. â
"I said, why do you want so many white flour food stamps?"
"Someone wants it. â
"Okay, you wait a minute, I'll go in and get it for you. â
Ye Lin now has more than 20 younger brothers to help him sell food stamps, including Chen Jing, of course, selling food stamps is incidental, they still help Ye Lin sell peanuts, melon seeds and jerky.
"Thank you, Boss, you're so nice, Boss. â
"Get out. Ye Lin waited for Qi Bin disgustingly.
"Uh!" Qi Bin immediately covered his mouth.
Seeing Qi Bin like this, Uncle Jiang patted him on the shoulder and said, "You kid, it's best not to mess with him in the past two days, otherwise it won't be discussed to clean you up." â
"Uncle Jiang, what's wrong with the boss?"
"I don't know, but you should be careful. â
"Understood, thank you, Uncle Jiang. â
"What's polite, okay, drink water, I'll pour you some. â
"No need, Uncle Jiang. â
"That's fine. â
Ye Lin quickly came out of the house, holding a few bundles of tickets in his hand, handed them to Qi Bin and said, "Here are three hundred catties of white noodle tickets, come to me after you sell them, you can get out." â
"Uh, okay, boss, I'll get out. â
Ye Lin didn't ask him for money first, now the food stamps are too expensive, three hundred catties is hundreds of yuan, and it is impossible for Qi Bin to bring so much money when he comes out, and he will naturally send it over when he sends money next time.
To be honest, Ye Lin really doesn't have many other tickets in his hand, but if you want to talk about food stamps, Ye Lin can't say how many you want, hundreds of thousands of catties can still be taken out, don't forget that he has collected food stamps for several years.
Later, Ye Lin saw in a documentary book that in six or five years, the price of grain stamps was two cents for local food stamps and two cents and five cents for national food stamps, and that price was the same as before the new regulations.
If this is the case, then the most difficult time will be these two years, that is, after these six or three years, six or four years, the food stamps will return to their original prices, and it may not even take two years.
Ye Lin is not very clear about this period of history, and he has not seen it in the book, he doesn't know when it happens, and he doesn't know when it will end, so Ye Lin wants to sell the food stamps in his hand as soon as possible.
In that case, when the price of food stamps returns to normal, he can still make purchases.
For unknown things, to be honest, Ye Lin is also a little confused, because you don't know when he will start, let alone when he will end, which makes people feel very uncertain.
