The person standing at the counter with Chen Weiguo was a young lady called Cheng Yun. She was beautiful and charming, but she had a bad temper. She was like a rose with thorns.
Recently, she had taken a long leave from her hometown. The others in the grain station had also gone to the countryside to collect grain today, so Chen Weiguo was the only one left in the shop to hold his ground.
Chen Weiguo was happy to enjoy this kind of time alone.
After pressing the new briquettes, the temperature of the briquettes rose.
Chen Weiguo took a shallow metal box and placed it on the stove. He rubbed two handfuls of peanuts and threw them in.
He sprinkled a pinch of salt. After a few seconds, the rich fragrance of peanuts wafted out.
Chen Weiguo didn't care that it was hot. He reached out and grabbed a few pills, biting them until they were crunchy.
This was the good thing about being in the grain station. He could take whatever he wanted to eat. It was all natural.
Just as he was happily eating a peanut, Chen Weiguo suddenly saw a golden light shining on his right palm.
Right, he hadn't fished today!
As a transmigrator, Chen Weiguo naturally had the necessary cheat for transmigrators. It was a lottery system called Fishing World.
As the name suggested, Myriad Fishing World was a lottery draw that allowed one to fish once a day.
On the other side of the fishing hook was a lottery pool that gathered all the items from the myriad worlds. There were ordinary living materials in the lottery pool, as well as various mysterious treasures from the high-level worlds.
The system was definitely a good system, but what he could catch depended on his fate. It was like touching a lottery ticket.
For someone like him, he had only caught some daily necessities like oil, salt, and rice until yesterday. He had not even caught a ticket!
Today, he had to prove himself!
Chen Weiguo put down the peanuts, walked to the basin, and applied a thick layer of soap on his hands before washing them carefully.
This was considered bathing and burning incense.
After wiping his hands clean, Chen Weiguo had a thought and a translucent golden fishing rod appeared in his hand.
He had tried it before. When he used the golden finger, only he could see these phenomena. No one else could see it.
Chen Weiguo waved his fishing rod.
The brick ground in front of him turned into a golden pool when the fish hook touched it. Waves surged in the pool, and the float of the fish hook swayed with the water.
After a while, the float suddenly fell down. Chen Weiguo knew that something had taken the bait.
He tightened his body, pulling the fishing rod with one hand and pulling the line with the other.
As the water receded, the fish gradually appeared in front of Chen Weiguo.
It was actually a gold bar?
Could it be that his luck had changed?
The gold bar was as long as his palm and was rectangular in shape. There were goldfish patterns carved on it, and it looked very festive.
Chen Weiguo brought the gold bar to his mouth and bit down hard. Two rows of clear teeth marks appeared on the gold bar.
The real thing didn't escape!
Chen Weiguo happily placed the gold bar on the small scale that was originally used to weigh oil on the counter of the grain store. When he looked closely, this small piece actually weighed half a catty!
In the future, it would be worth at least a hundred thousand, right?
Chen Weiguo wrapped the gold bar in a cotton handkerchief and put it in the innermost pocket of his canvas bag.
He didn't know how much such a huge pile of gold was worth now, but with the current prices, it shouldn't be a problem to buy one or two Siheyuan houses.
Should he choose the Siheyuan in Wangfujing or the one in Shichahai?
As he was daydreaming, he inadvertently looked up. The row of dull and dilapidated old-fashioned wooden beams in the grain station was like a heavy blow that directly woke Chen Weiguo up.
He was a little too smug!
This was the 1960s. In this era, it was not allowed to casually buy and sell items, let alone buy and sell gold.
Gold and silver were now all held by the country as a reserve currency. Other than the gold and silver nuggets hidden in the homes of the old men from the previous dynasty, ordinary people only had one or two pieces of gold and silver jewelry at the bottom of their boxes. There was no gold bar with such high gold content and good quality in the market.
If he was caught selling gold bars, he might be convicted of speculation.
That would not be as simple as going to jail. He might even lose his life!
"Tsk, it wasn't easy to catch something valuable, but you can't use it!”Chen Weiguo shook his head and sighed. He patted the big gold bar in his bag that was still worthless." It doesn't matter. As long as the policy is relaxed, you'll be a real treasure.”
Chen Weiguo comforted himself.
However, he couldn't help but shiver when he thought that the reform and opening up were still ten or twenty years away.
At that time, he was already a middle-aged man. Could he just watch as the days in between were wasted?
No, he had to prepare early. How could he not enjoy life at such a young age?
Moreover, if the path was clear, he would not be allowed to leave. Couldn't he take the secret path?
He hadn't come for nothing in the past three months. He had pretty much grasped the basic rules of this era.
In fact, a planned economy was a necessity for the country. After all, the country had just been established not long ago, and the entire country was struggling in extreme poverty. In order to feed so many mouths, they had to live frugally.
However, no matter how detailed the plan was, there would always be flaws. If it landed on everyone, there would still be more or less unsatisfactory areas.
After all, every household had different needs. Some people had more food at home and lacked money. Some people ran out of tickets and needed food urgently. There were also children who wanted to eat eggs to nourish their bodies.
Everyone gathered together to reach a consensus. They quietly handed over the money and goods, and were very satisfied.
Later on, this kind of private transaction was chosen in a small market set up by some traveling merchants to sell pigeons.
There were many people here, and the channels of information were wide. It was not easy to be caught, so it became a natural secret passage.
Over time, the place where these tourists were located had become a semi-open private goods market. Because the market originally sold pigeons, everyone habitually called it " Pigeon Market ". In fact," Pigeon Market " had long become a market that sold everything. There were not many people who actually sold pigeons.
When the patrol officers saw this, they turned a blind eye.
As long as they didn't trade anything particularly eye-catching in front of them, they generally wouldn't interfere in the affairs of Pigeon City.
After all, who didn't have their own difficult times?
Now that Pigeon City was broken up, what if he needed to exchange for food one day?
As long as they had the means, they would want to eat better food. Although society was very poor and it was good to have something to eat, not everyone was willing to eat food.
Chen Weiguo didn't like it.
