After leaving the courtyard house, Lu Yang started jogging.
After running for about ten minutes, they finally arrived near Pigeon City. Lu Yang found a place to put on the straw hat left by his granduncle. Then, he straightened his collar to cover his face and quickly walked toward Pigeon City.
Pigeon City was similar to a black market. Things that couldn't be bought during the day without tickets might be bought here.
Of course, it was also very dangerous to be caught, but he had to be careful of the crime of speculation.
Therefore, even though it was only four in the morning, there were already many people in Pigeon City. After all, the earlier, the safer. This was because the Red Armband who was in charge of patrolling was still sleeping.
However, Lu Yang suspected that the higher-ups had deliberately arranged for the red armband not to appear at this time, so that the people who were in dire straits could communicate with each other so that they could survive.
The reason was very simple. As long as it was necessary, even if it was early, even if they didn't sleep, they would still be willing to patrol 24 hours a day with a red armband!
In fact, many smart people knew this, but they didn't want to see through it. Pigeon markets like this could be found in remote corners. Because the quantity was small, it wouldn't affect the overall economy of the country. It could also solve some problems, so it was allowed to exist.
Lu Yang's purpose for coming to Pigeon City was very clear. He wanted to buy all kinds of tickets. He had money, but he did not have many tickets. He was very, very short.
He also needed to buy more small glass bottles and a coal stove.
Lu Yang was about to walk around to see if there were any ticket scalpers when suddenly, someone walked over." Comrade, do you want tickets?”
He went straight to the point and did not waste any time.
Lu Yang turned around and saw a middle-aged man. Although he had a smile on his face, he could see the fierce light in his eyes. There was also a burly man beside him who would occasionally glance over.
"Yes, what tickets do you have? I don't want the expensive ones!" Lu Yang immediately said. He did not care about the fierce look in the eyes of the ticket seller. After all, it was illegal to be a ticket seller. One had to be wary of being cheated. Honest and kind people without courage could not do this.
The ticket seller was very shrewd and experienced. He did not answer Lu Yang directly." What do you want? Just say, if there is, I will give you a price. If it's suitable, then buy it. If it's not suitable, then forget it!”
"Good! How refreshing!" Lu Yang smiled and did not waste any time.
In the end, he bought tickets for 20 catties of flour, 20 catties of meat, 20 catties of oil, 20 catties of food, as well as tickets for coal balls, glass, and salt.
In fact, this ticket seller had many other tickets in his hands. However, Lu Yang still felt that he should be cautious. He could not buy too many tickets in front of a ticket seller and expose his financial strength.
Even though he was skilled and had the ring space world, so his safety was not a problem, he still felt that there was no need to cause trouble. In this era, keeping a low profile should become a habit. Otherwise, if he kept a high profile, something would happen sooner or later.
Just as Lu Yang was about to leave, the ticket seller probed again," Comrade, do you really not want the bicycle ticket?”
A bicycle now cost more than 100 yuan, and a good one was almost 200 yuan. If Lu Yang took it, he would immediately expose his financial strength. The other party mentioned the bicycle ticket for the second time, and it was obvious that he was a little suspicious. How could Lu Yang take it? He shook his head and said,"I want it, but where can I buy it?”
After saying that, he entered the crowd.
The ticket seller watched as Lu Yang's figure disappeared before retracting his gaze.
Lu Yang continued to wander around Pigeon City. Soon, he was surprised to find a female ticket seller. Later, Lu Yang found two more ticket sellers and exchanged a lot of tickets, including a female ticket seller.
In the end, they exchanged for 50 catties of flour, 50 catties of meat, 50 catties of oil, 50 catties of food, 50 catties of vegetables, coal balls, glass, salt, and so on.
Apart from that, there was also a rooster and a hen. If it wasn't for the fact that he had to buy a coal stove later and couldn't carry so many things, he would have bought more chickens and kept them in the ring's spatial world.
Initially, Lu Yang had thought of getting a bicycle ticket, but in the end, he resisted the temptation. It would not be too late to buy one after he came to Pigeon City a few more times and figured out the situation here.
The reason why he made this decision was not only for safety reasons, but also because of the courtyard house. Think about it, you're a young man who inherited a house from the countryside and just started working. Where did you get so much money to buy a bicycle?
One had to know that bicycles in this era were a symbol of status, just like cars in the future. They were not something that ordinary families could afford.
Together with watches and sewing machines, they were known as the three major pieces of the 1960s.
In addition, adding the radio, it was synthesized into a " three turns and one sound."
For a person or a family, even if they had one or two items, it would be enough to make people's eyes scratch and shake the neighbors.
Therefore, if Lu Yang brought a bicycle back to the courtyard house, it would definitely attract attention. If he was reported and investigated, he would not be able to tell the source of the funds and tickets. He would be treated as an enemy spy and would be in trouble. After all, the wind was about to blow up, so he had to be even more careful.
Therefore, Lu Yang decided to keep a low profile during this critical period. Of course, if he got married, he would have to find a way to get all three things together, but he had to wait for the right time.
After changing the tickets.
Lu Yang went to buy eight small glass bottles and a new coal stove.
Everything was bought. He spent a total of 121 yuan.
Lu Yang did not leave immediately. After observing for a while and feeling safe, he squeezed into the crowd and slipped into the alley. He came to a remote and safe corner and put the things into the ring space world.
Then, he quickly left and returned to the courtyard house.
When it was close to six o'clock, Pigeon City had almost dispersed, and the business during the day became legal again.
In a house near Pigeon City.
If Lu Yang was here, he would have noticed that the first man and the third woman who exchanged their tickets were both here. Apart from them, there was another person. Among the eleven or twelve ticket scalpers in Pigeon City, three of them were actually in cahoots. It was really shocking.
The three ticket scalpers squatted on the ground to take stock of today's gains.
Then, the head of the ticket scalpers, Lei Dawei, began to communicate with his two subordinates about the interesting customers they had met today.
This was something that Lei Dawei's ticket scalper organization had to do every day.
Now that the competition in Pigeon City was huge, the three of them communicated with each other and remembered the big customers who bought more tickets so that the next time they saw each other, they could take the initiative to attack in front of other ticket sellers and win business.
"As expected of a VIP! How cautious!" Lei Dawei recognized Lu Yang after hearing his wife's description. He immediately told him to tell him the next time he saw him. If he sold a bicycle ticket, he might make a lot of money.
