Teacher Li took out 20 yuan from the cabinet next to him and put it on the table.

"You take this money, you have to know that any difficulty is temporary, my teacher once taught me that children are determined to go out of the country, and if they can't learn to become famous, they will not pay it back. I will also send you this sentence today, I hope you will remember it. ”

Chen Qi saw the 20 yuan on the table, and his head shook like a rattle:

"Teacher Li, I can't collect this money, you see I bought peaches for a few days, and I have earned a lot, enough for our family, you can rest assured, I will definitely remember the words you gave me today, and I will definitely study hard."

Li Baotian was happy to hear the student's assurance, but his face still pretended to be majestic:

"Give you the money, you can take it, don't grind and chirp, today I hurt you that you can't sell peaches, just think these peaches are bought by me." If you're going to be a surgeon in the future, be refreshed.

If there is an emergency when our surgeon performs the operation, or the condition exceeds his imagination, it is necessary for the surgeon to make a judgment and response immediately, how can there be time for you to rub in? When you're done, the patient is dead. ”

Chen Qi really didn't want this money, and if he took this money, he would have a bad conscience.

But listening to the teacher's words, he can't take this money anymore, he knows that this little old man still has a big temper, and he can't make him angry.

"Hey, Teacher Li, listen to you, you used to do surgery in the provincial capital?"

"yes, it's a pity that I haven't touched a scalpel in years, forget it, don't talk about it."

Li Baotian waved his hand, turned around and took out a thick book from the bookcase, which was already a little tattered:

"This is "Practical Surgery" edited by Professor Huang Jiasi, the surgical knowledge points in it are more comprehensive than the textbook, and some of my experiences and experiences, you can take a look, but it's okay, it's not a loan."

Obviously, this is Mr. Li's beloved book.

Huang Jiasi's name, as long as he is engaged in surgery, everyone knows, and Qiu Fazu's contemporary, and the "Huang Jiasi Surgery" published after his death is almost a copy for everyone.

If he hadn't died too early and hadn't caught up with the good time, he would definitely be able to become a god like Qiu Fazu.

Chen Qi had read "Huang Jiasi's Surgery" in his previous life, and he still had a set, and the content and knowledge points were much more advanced than this surgical book published in the seventies, but the account was not calculated like this.

"Okay, it just so happens that I don't have any books to read when I go home, thank you, Mr. Li, hehe."

Li Baotian saw that the student accepted his kindness, and his mood relaxed: "By the way, where are you going to go next?" ”

Chen Qi blinked and said innocently:

"With the teacher's financial support and some money from selling peaches and yellow eels, I want to buy some food and go home, and eat sweet potatoes every day at home, so that my younger brothers and sisters look like sweet potatoes."

Li Baotian laughed when he heard this, and felt that this student seemed to be talking a lot more funny after half the summer vacation.

"Buy food, the teacher has no choice, a large part of my food stamps have been sent back to the provincial capital. By the way, if you don't go to the pigeon market to buy it, you don't need food stamps there, but the price will be a little more expensive. ”

"Pigeon City?"

Chen Qi was a little puzzled: "Teacher Li, I want to buy food, not pigeons, I can't afford to eat." ”

"Stupid, pigeon market refers to the black market, where you can buy everything, what kind of food, cloth, even bicycles, radios, every morning at the foot of the mountain north of Fushan Park, you can try your luck."

With such an explanation, Chen Qi understood.

1981 was still the era when everything had to be based on tickets, but if the amount on the tickets was met, it could not meet the material needs of the general public.

Where there is demand, there will be a market, so the black market came into being, and everyone can communicate with each other and take what they need.

Of course, every time there is any "movement", the people who trade in the black market are also the first to be unlucky, if anyone is caught by the red sleeve, the confiscation of the fine and the notice of the unit is considered light, and the heavier one is to directly allocate the tidal flats to reclaim the sea for half a year, and there is no negotiation at all.

Chen Qi now has money in his hands, but he doesn't have a ticket, and it is obviously impossible to go to a state-run store to buy things.

Without a ticket, he can't even eat a bowl of noodles in the Lanxiang Pavilion, so Pigeon City is the best choice.

"Cheng, then I'll go to the pigeon market tomorrow morning."

That night, Chen Qi still lived in the dormitory of the guard school, and before dawn the next day, he did not disturb the doorman Master Wang, and quietly climbed out of the iron gate and walked to Fushan Park.

Speaking of this Fushan Park, it is a great name, which is a small hill in the city of Echichung.

When the Yue Kingdom, the palace of Gou Jian was located here, and now there are still the remains of "Yue Wangtai" on the top of the mountain. Later, the "Yuezhong Mansion" of all dynasties was also located on the south side of Fushan Park.

After the liberation, Fushan Park became a public leisure park, the southern slope of the mountain is quite lively, and the north side of Fushan is relatively deserted, few people pass by, so it has become a natural black market trading place.

The place is also easy to recognize, and everyone in Fushan Park Pigeon City knows where it is, saving the trouble of pointing the way.

When Chen Qi arrived at the black market, he saw that a path along the foot of the mountain was full of things on both sides, from food to daily necessities, from small household appliances to all kinds of meat and poultry.

There are even some antique dealers, with all kinds of porcelain, ancient jade, ancient books, etc., but Chen Qi doesn't understand these and doesn't believe that he has good luck to pick up leaks.

Antique fraud has existed since ancient times, and the Republic of China is a peak, and whoever buys it will be fooled.

Chen Qi first came to a place that sold rice, and when the seller saw a customer coming to the door, he hurriedly asked in a low voice:

"Xiao Guanning, do you want rice? This is late rice, a bag of 100 catties, not sold in bulk. ”

Rice is a key strategic resource controlled by the government, and it is not allowed to be bought and sold privately, so there are no farmers outside the vegetable market to sell it, either to the grain store or to the black market.

Chen Qi grabbed a handful of rice and looked at it, felt that it was full and snow-white, and asked, "How to sell it?" ”

"In the grain store, with food stamps, one catty is 1 jiao and 8 cents, I don't want a ticket, it is a little more expensive, and one catty is sold for 3 jiao."

100 catties of rice is 30 yuan, and workers only have 30 catties a month, which is equivalent to three months' rations for a worker, and this business can be done.

In the mountains, there is a lot of sweet potatoes and corn, but there is little rice.

But where a little rice is collected as a treasure, only during the New Year's Festival, or important guests are willing to cook a dry meal, usually at most sweet potatoes infiltrate some rice, cook a sweet potato porridge to eat, this is a sick meal.

Chen Qi quickly took out 30 sheets of unity, and the seller was happy when he saw it, "The money belongs to me, the rice belongs to you, let's clear the two." ”

100 catties of rice, Chen Qi almost didn't crush to death on his back, and now this body is as thin as a knife mantis, and he can't do physical work at all, and he needs to make up for it.

I found a no-man's corner at the foot of the mountain and put it into the space, and turned back to the black market again.
