Chapter Seventy-Five: Pigeon City

After talking to the old couple, Li Ping'an was ready to go back to sleep. But seeing that Yi Zhonghai suddenly began to put on clothes, he couldn't help but be curious

"Uncle, what are you doing here? Dressing for the big night? ”

Yi Zhonghai smiled and said to Li Ping'an

"Didn't I just get my food stamps for the next month two days ago, and I went to the pigeon market tonight to buy some food stamps from the ticket sellers"

Now this year, you can start receiving the next month's food stamps on the 24th of each month, and you can use the next month's food stamps on the 25th. Many families don't have enough food to eat, and they will run out of food before the next month.

So every 25th, there will be a long queue at the entrance of the grain store, and the lineup is very spectacular.

Li Ping'an thought about it, he has been in this world for a while, and he has not seen the legendary pigeon market. So he said to Yi Zhonghai

"Uncle, take me to see the world too. I haven't been there yet."

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment and then spoke

"Since you want to go, let's go together, don't run around with me when you go"

As long as you don't sell things in the pigeon market these days, even if you get caught, it's not a big deal. At most, it will be released after one education, not to mention ordinary ordinary people, and there are many public officials.

Again, there is a shortage of materials, there is no food at home, and the whole family will starve to death if they don't come to Pigeon City.

The leaders above also know this situation, and they can't let everyone who doesn't have a city hukou starve to death. Basically, as long as it doesn't make too much trouble, the top will turn a blind eye. Ten days and half a month sent someone to sweep it.

Soon the two of them dressed up, found a piece of cloth and put it in their pockets, and when they arrived at the place, they had to cover their faces so that they could not be recognized by acquaintances.

Although this matter is known above, if it is reported, it should still be arrested.

The two of them sneaked to the front yard and knocked on the door of Yan Fugui's house first, and after a while, the third master walked out. After seeing the two of them, the third master didn't say anything, and nodded at Yi Zhonghai to indicate that he knew.

Then Yi Zhonghai gave the three masters a dime, this is the money to open the door, and when he comes back, he will need the three masters to help open the door.

After the two of them went out, Yi Zhonghai led the way, and the two of them walked over.

The pigeon city they went to was not far from the courtyard, and the two of them walked for about half an hour before Yi Zhonghai stopped, and then said to Li Ping'an

"Now let's cover your face, we'll be there in a minute."

After finishing speaking, he took the lead in covering his face, revealing only a pair of eyes outside, and Li Ping'an followed randomly.

Yi Zhonghai can be said to be a frequent visitor to Pigeon City, and he knows this terrain well, so he took Li Ping'an and began to turn around in the alley, and soon came to a very remote alley.

Li Ping'an could vaguely see a figure flashing in front of him, Yi Zhonghai led Li Ping'an up, first exchanged the code with the man, and then paid two cents, the man waved his hand and put Yi Zhonghai's nephew and uncle in.

After walking a little further, we turned a corner and we arrived at the legendary pigeon market.

Li Ping'an stood at the intersection and looked inside, there were many people inside, and the dim small lights were almost covering the entire alley. Although there were many people, it was quiet inside, and no one could be heard talking at all.

Everyone walks on tiptoe, for fear of making a little noise.

Yi Zhonghai took Li Ping'an to the corner, and there was a person standing in the corner, Li Ping'an felt that this person should be a ticket seller.

Yi Zhonghai stepped forward and asked in a very low voice at the man

"Twenty pounds of food stamps"

The ticket seller didn't talk nonsense, he took out a stack of food stamps directly from his pocket, turned on the flashlight wrapped in cloth, counted out thirty catties of food stamps, and handed them directly to Yi Zhonghai. Then he made a gesture of six.

After Yi Zhonghai took it, he also turned on the flashlight wrapped in cloth and counted it, after making sure that there was no problem. He took out six dollars from his pocket and handed it to the ticket seller.

The money and goods were the same, and Yi Zhonghai quickly left the corner.

After buying the food stamps, Yi Zhonghai asked Li Ping'an in a low voice

"Is there anything you'd like to buy?"

Li Ping'an also replied in a low voice

"I don't know, let's go around, shall we?"

So the two of them began to walk along the alley. I didn't walk fast, and I looked at the vendors on the side of the road, selling everything. Li Ping'an passed by a tea cake seller, and when he saw the tea cake on the ground, Li Ping'an became interested and stepped forward to check it.

Because he didn't understand the rules inside, Yi Zhonghai went to communicate with the vendors, but the two did not communicate during the whole process. It all relied on his hands to make a gesture, and after the gesture, Yi Zhonghai whispered in Li Ping'an's ear

"It's all Pu'er tea, it's been some years, 3 yuan a cake"

Li Ping'an looked at the 5 tea cakes on the ground, then took out 3 yuan from his pocket and handed it directly to the vendor. Yi Zhonghai wanted to stop it, but he didn't. Seeing that the vendor had already taken the money, he had no choice but to give up.

After Li Ping'an put away the tea cakes, he simply walked around. In addition to this set of tea cakes on the market, there are no good things that can be seen by themselves.

After shopping all, the two of them didn't buy anything, so they went back to the courtyard.

Coming to the gate, Yi Zhonghai knocked lightly on the door, and after a while, the third master opened the door. After the two of them entered, they didn't talk to the three masters, and went back to the middle courtyard lightly.

After the two came to the middle courtyard, they went back to their respective rooms, Li Ping'an returned to his own house, turned on the light, checked the tea cakes, and found no signs of mold, indicating that the tea was still well preserved.

Take the tea cake to the warehouse, find a place to store the tea leaves, and then open a box of tea leaves, and take a bag of Xinyang Maojian from it to prepare for cold brewing.

After a simple wash, when he was lying down on the bed, suddenly a wave of sleepiness hit, Li Ping'an looked at his watch, and it was almost twelve o'clock now.

I have to go to work tomorrow, Li Ping'an hurriedly turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The next morning, after breakfast, I went out and saw the two of them going out with empty lunch boxes. Li Ping'an was very surprised to see Silly Zhu go to work so early today, so he asked

"Brother Zhuzi, is this the sun coming out of the west? Why did you go to work so early today? ”

Since the last time Silly Zhu took the initiative to talk to Li Ping'an in the cafeteria, the relationship between the two has also eased. Seeing Li Ping'an's jokes, he didn't get angry, and said to Li Ping'an with a smile

"Hey, didn't I owe it to you this morning, the two pigs and a sheep you got last time. There is a meeting in the factory at noon today, and our kitchen will prepare a lunch meal early this morning. Not to mention that you kid is quite capable, it has only been a few days since he came to the factory, and he got four pigs back."
