Chapter 18: Monkey
Hearing that Ye Lin went to the pigeon market, Li Ran's face was much better, Ye Lin could forgive Li Ran for anything, but there was one thing that didn't work, that is, stealing, she thought Ye Lin had done something bad.
"How much did you buy this noodle for?"
"Three-hair-five. ”
"That's not expensive. ”
Li Ran is a teacher, although he is a teacher who teaches Chinese, but his arithmetic is still good, he has no books, no food stamps, and three cents and five pounds is indeed not expensive, and it is even said to be very cheap.
"Oh no, where did you get that much money?"
"Mom, I know this. Ye Qi said next to him.
"You know?"
"Well, I heard from the people in the yard that my brother made a lot of money some time ago, at least dozens of yuan. ”
The adults in the courtyard didn't know about Ye Lin selling clips, but those children still knew, there were no secrets between the children, the boys knew, the girls knew, the girls knew, then Ye Qi also knew.
"What, dozens?"
In this era, dozens of dollars are a lot of money, don't forget that Ye Lin is only ten years old, and he has such a large amount of money, not to mention that in this era, even in the next generation.
Let's not talk about the purchasing power of this era, to give a very simple example, in this era, five yuan can make a person live a good life for a month, and in the future life, can a thousand yuan make a person live a good life for a month?
Definitely not, so compared with the money of this era and the later generations, at least two hundred times different, what is the concept of dozens of dollars, that is equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars in later generations, even in the later generations, it is very irrational to let a teenager take tens of thousands of dollars.
"Well, dozens. ”
After getting Ye Qi's definite answer, Li Ran spread his hands and said to Ye Lin, "Bring it." ”
Seeing his mother like this, Ye Lin said with a sad face: "Mom, can't you let me keep some?"
"No, why do you take so much money as a child?"
"Oh well. Ye Lin had no choice but to pretend to take out more than thirty yuan from his pocket and hand it to Li Ran.
"That's all?"
"That's all, I'll buy noodles and chicken for the rest. ”
"Chickens?
"It's not. Ye Lin pointed to the paper bag.
Li Ran hurriedly went over and opened the paper bag, and it was indeed a chicken inside, but it was the kind that had already been killed, so it could be said that it could be put into the pot by chopping it directly.
"You stinky boy, you spend money really lavishly, if this money is put in your hands, it is estimated that it will not take long to spend it. Li Ran put the money away, rubbed Ye Lin's head and said.
It's a pity that she doesn't know that her son is now a little rich, and the more than 30 yuan is only one-tenth of her son's income today.
"Okay, Mom is going to stew chicken for you, and eat chicken at noon today. ”
After Li Ran left, Ye Lin said to Ye Qi: "Traitor." ”
Ye Qi grimaced at him, stuck out his tongue again, and did not pick up Ye Lin's stubble, which made Ye Lin very helpless, he knew that his sister loved himself very much and hurt herself more, but on some principled issues, she still ......
I ate stewed chicken at noon, although there are not so many seasonings in this era, but the stewed chicken is particularly fragrant, at least more fragrant than what Ye Lin ate in his previous life, of course, it may also have something to do with space.
"Son, how much did you buy this chicken?"
"A piece of five. ”
"One piece of five? I said son, are you stupid? One piece of five can buy a pound of fat, and if you refine oil, it will be enough for our family to eat for half a year." ”
Of course, Li Ran said that this piece of five-one-pound fat meat is not bought in the supply and marketing cooperative, but bought outside, and the meat in the supply and marketing cooperatives is four cents and five pounds, but you need a meat ticket, if you don't have a meat ticket, then you can only buy a meat ticket.
And the price of a pound of meat tickets is five cents, which adds up to almost a dollar, of course, this is what only rich people will do, like ordinary families, they will not go out to buy meat tickets, because each family has a ration, although not much.
The meat of the supply and marketing cooperatives plus the meat ticket, a pound is about a dollar, but it is all fat together, it is impossible to buy all fat, in this era, fat meat is more expensive than fat meat, even if it is expensive, a piece of five can buy a catty.
"Mom, you don't have to worry about the oil, I'll take care of it. ”
"You, you solve, how do you solve it?"
"Buy, otherwise how to solve it. Ye Lin spread his hands.
"Bring it. Li Ran stretched out his hand in front of Ye Lin.
"What?" Ye Lin didn't know.
"Money! Okay, stinky boy, and he still hides private money. ”
Hearing Li Ran say this, Ye Lin said with a sad face: "It's really gone, I don't believe you search." Ye Lin opened all the pockets that could hold money for Li Ran to see.
"Then you say buy. Li Ran gave Ye Lin a roll of his eyes and said, "How can you buy it if you don't have money?"
"There's no money to make. ”
"Make money!
"What's wrong with making money? Don't forget, the money I just gave you, and the two thousand yuan I gave yesterday, were all earned by me, and it didn't take long. ”
"Ugh!"
Ye Lin's words made Li Ranlen pause, think about it, it's really true, his son, this period of time seems to have changed as if he has changed a person, he has been working for ten years, and he has not saved two thousand yuan, he earned it in a few days.
"Ah, demon monkey, quickly come out of my son's body. Li Ran pinched an orchid finger and pointed at Ye Lin and said.
Ye Lin gave Li Ran a roll of his eyes and said, "Mom, you've watched too much Journey to the West, right?"
"Hey, you also know Journey to the West?"
"Mom, my brother has a lot of comic books of Journey to the West, and I have also seen them. Ye Qi said beside him.
"Oh. Li Ran nodded.
Regarding Ye Lin's purchase of comic books, Li Ran didn't care, as long as Ye Lin didn't go to do bad things, buy some food and buy some fun, she wouldn't say anything.
"It's delicious, if only I could eat chicken every day. Ye Qi said while eating.
"What do you want?" Li Ran knocked on Ye Qi's head with chopsticks.
"It's not impossible, don't worry, sister, it's not right now, wait for a while, I'll let you eat meat every day." ”
The reason why Ye Lin said this is for a reason, there is still a pigsty in his space that is not used, and when the pigsty is used, he can meet his sister's request, but he also knows that this matter is not so easy.
It's no problem to get some chickens, ducklings, or even geese, but it's not easy to get pigs, and there's no place to get them, chickens, ducks, and geese, and some people secretly raise them, but pigs, no one will secretly raise them at all, because there is nothing to raise them at all.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true, don't worry, there will come a day. ”
After eating, my mother Li Ran left with my sister Ye Qi, and Ye Lin was the only one in the family.
In the afternoon, Ye Lin did not go to Deshengmen again, but went to Fuchengmen, about a kilometer outside Fuchengmen, which is also a pigeon city, and it is also one of the four major pigeon cities in the imperial capital.
The location is near the intersection of Fuchengmen Outer Street and Exhibition Road in the later generations, of course, at this time, this is also a wasteland, and the reason why Ye Lin came here is because he has gone to Deshengmen in the morning.
He wants to give people a habit, a habit of when he is there and when he is not, Ye Lin has already thought about it, not only today, but also in the future, going to Deshengmen every morning and Fuchengmen in the afternoon.
In fact, Ye Lin should go to the founding of the country, whether it is in later generations or in this era, the wealth division in the four directions of the imperial capital is the first in the north, the second in the east, the third in the west, and the bottom in the south.
But Ye Lin did not go to the east, but chose the west, mainly because the east was closer to his house, he didn't want his acquaintances to see it, and making a fortune in silence was what Ye Lin wanted.
"Don't miss it when you pass by, take a look. Ye Lin shouted again after setting up the stall.
This place is the same as Deshengmen, there was still a group of people surrounding it at the beginning, but after Ye Lin finished the stall, he left.
"Look, what do you want?" a middle-aged woman came to his stall, and Ye Lin took the initiative to ask.
"You really don't want a ticket here?"
"Yes, no tickets. ”
"Then bring me two carp. ”
"Good. ”
The carp sold by Ye Lin here are all about the same size, about three catties, more than anything, less and nothing, they all look similar, so there is no need to pick and choose at all.
After paying the money, the middle-aged woman asked, "Will you still sell here in the future?"
"Yes, I'll come every afternoon from now on. ”
"Okay, I know, I'll come to you to buy it if I need it in the future. ”
"Yes. ”
After the middle-aged woman left, another middle-aged man came, and the middle-aged man looked at the sign that Ye Lin hung and asked, "Little comrade, do you accept any tickets here?"
"That's right. Ye Lin nodded.
"Do you want to collect the industrial vouchers?"
"Why don't you take it!"
"How much do you charge here?"
"Two dollars a piece, it can be said that the price I give is very high. ”
Ye Lin is right, the price he gave is indeed very high, generally those who collect industrial coupons, but they don't give such a high, about between five and eight per piece, the reason why Ye Lin gives it so high is because he wants to buy a bicycle for his mother Li Ran.
And a bicycle, you need to get thirteen industrial coupons, this mainly depends on what kind of bicycle you buy, flying pigeons are the cheapest, a bicycle is about 200 yuan, only ten industrial coupons.
The price of a crowded bicycle is around two hundred and four, and twelve industrial coupons are needed, the most expensive is the Phoenix bicycle, one is around two hundred and six, and similarly, the most industrial coupons are needed, requiring thirteen.
Ye Lin bought a bicycle for his mother Li Ran, of course, it was the best, so he urgently needed thirteen industrial coupons now.
"Okay, I've got five here, sell them to you. ”
"Yes. ”
Ye Lin was very excited, although there were only five cards, but he was getting closer and closer to thirteen.
