The clouds in the sky seemed to be on fire.
The sun gradually set in the west.
Lu Fan habitually turned his wrist over. When he saw that it was empty, he was instantly stunned.
Before he transmigrated, Lu Fan had always had the habit of wearing a watch. He could no longer remember how many times he had looked at his watch.
In the 1960s, bicycles, watches, and sewing machines were the three big items.
Any one of these urban rarities would cost hundreds or eighty yuan.
One had to know that an ordinary person's monthly income was only 20 to 30 yuan. 100 yuan was enough for a family to eat and drink for several months.
Lu Fan pursed his lips and muttered," I'll have to wear a watch soon. Without this thing, it's really inconvenient to look at the time!" After all, this bro is now the sales director of a state-owned company. Getting a watch would be more fitting for his status!”
After locking the door of the small shop, Lu Fan was ready to get off work.
After returning to the courtyard house, Lu Fan sat on the boat and started his daily check-in and checking the mission rewards.
Ding!
Lu Fan immediately had seven or eight colorful tickets in his hand. They were cloth tickets, fuel tickets, and the like.
He took out the porcelain biscuit jar that he used to hide tickets from under the bed. When he opened it, Lu Fan was stunned.
The jar was already filled with all kinds of bills, and they were tightly pressed by him, so there was not a single gap.
Lu Fan smiled bitterly.”
In this era, buying meat required meat coupons, buying rice required food coupons, and if you wanted to buy something, you had to rely on all kinds of coupons. Without coupons, you couldn't buy anything even if you had money.
However, Lu Fan had too many tickets.
Looking at the jar full of tickets, Lu Fan pondered for a moment.
He decided to find a black market to sell these tickets. Otherwise, he didn't know how long it would take to get so many tickets.
The next day, Lu Fan woke up early and went to the black market.
Although it was called a black market, it was actually just an ordinary street, right at the south gate of Panjiayuan.
However, most people did not know about the existence of the black market. Lu Fan only knew about the existence of such a place because he had watched the original drama and seen the Deaf Old Lady selling food stamps.
Here, you can do things that are not allowed in this era, such as selling food stamps and exchanging them for money.
Of course, you could also buy many strange things here, such as calligraphy, paintings, jewelry, and so on.
The purpose of Lu Fan's trip was to sell the food stamps in his hand, so before he left, he specially disguised himself. He smeared some coal ash on his face, put on a mask, and even put on a hat, almost covering his face.
The purpose was very simple. In this era, ticket scalping was illegal. If one was caught, they would go to jail.
Therefore, he had to be extremely cautious.
While earning money, he also had to pay attention to his safety. Otherwise, if he was accidentally caught, everything he had done before would be in vain.
Lu Fan wandered the streets for a long time and finally found a black market trafficker who was mixed in the crowd.
After finding his target, Lu Fan walked straight towards him.
Seeing Lu Fan's attire, the seller immediately knew that business was coming. After all, as long as they came to buy and sell things, they had to dress up.
"Brother, what do you want?" The peddler asked with a smile.
"How can I accept the tickets?" Lu Fan asked indifferently.”
The seller smiled and said,"Exchange tickets for tickets, exchange money, and rare items?"”
"Exchange for gold!" Lu Fan said indifferently.”
From the beginning, Lu Fan's goal was very clear.
He didn't plan to exchange the tickets that he had obtained from the system for money, only gold.
After a period of time, when the New Era arrived, money would depreciate greatly. Therefore, hoarding anything was not as useful as hoarding gold. Only gold would maintain its value forever.
When he heard that he wanted to exchange it for gold, the dealer's eyes lit up. He thought that this was a big customer, so he quickly smiled and said,"Of course, I've changed them. How many votes do you have and how many do you want?”
Lu Fan didn't say anything. Instead, he stretched out his hand, revealing an empty sleeve.
Seeing this scene, the seller was stunned for a moment. He quickly reached his hand in and negotiated the price with Lu Fan through his finger.
This was the black market's code word. The two of them would not discuss the price openly because each person had a price and sold however much they exchanged. It was all up to the mood of the seller. Similarly, this was also the black market's rule.
Anyone who could understand this rule was definitely a veteran.
Therefore, the seller did not dare to fool people and honestly reported a standard market price.
In fact, he did not know that Lu Fan had learned this from watching television dramas in his previous life. He had learned it on the spot, so he was fooled by the trafficker in an instant.
Lu Fan left the black market after agreeing on the place, time, quantity, and price.
Small business could be done in person, but Lu Fan's big business definitely could not be done in person. After all, he had a big jar full of tickets. It would be too eye-catching to carry them out.
It was impossible for a trafficker to carry a few gold bricks around on the street every day.
Everything was for safety and stability. He did not want to be caught in prison for doing business.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Fan closed the small shop early. After disguising himself, he went to the designated place to trade with the seller.
The jar full of notes was finally converted into five gold bars.
Putting the gold bar in his pocket, Lu Fan asked for the contact information of the trafficker. He turned around and left without saying anything.
His system would give out all kinds of tickets every day, and he would have to exchange them for gold later. That was why he asked for the contact information of this trafficker to facilitate future transactions.
After returning to the courtyard house and closing the door, the first thing Lu Fan did was to knock down two bricks on the wall and hide the gold bars inside.
These things could not be discovered by others.
In this era, it was a serious crime to hide gold bars, jewelry, and jewelry. If he was caught, he would definitely be severely punished, so Lu Fan had to hide the things well.
After he was done with everything, Lu Fan stuffed the brick back. After confirming that he could not see any flaws, he then left the house boldly.
As soon as he went out, he heard a woman's voice coming from He Yuzhu's room.
"Silly Zhu, I heard from my sister that you chefs have a high monthly salary. Is that true?”Qin Jingru sat on the chair and asked curiously.
He Yuzhu giggled. Anyway, if you follow me, my salary will definitely not be a problem for me to support you!”
Qin Jingru's eyes lit up.”
He Yuzhu said confidently," Of course! We eat chicken, duck, and fish often, let alone pork!" Let me tell you, I'm no longer a chef. I was promoted to the head of the canteen by the factory's leader yesterday. From now on, the canteen will be under my control!”
"In short, if you follow me, I guarantee that you won't go hungry!”
" Really..." Qin Jingru looked at He Yuzhu, her eyes full of excitement. She even began to imagine a happy life after marrying He Yuzhu.
At this moment, Lu Fan walked in.
He Yuzhu quickly came up to him and introduced him with a smile,""Cousin, you're off work. Come, let me introduce you. This is Qin Jingru. She's Qin Huiru's cousin!”
