And it was precisely because of these characteristics of Qin Jingru that Fang Yuan's thoughts became more and more intense.
After all, if he asked himself, it would be better to find a bad-tempered ancestor and worship her every day.
It would be better to find a hardworking person like Qin Jingru!
Of course!
That was what he thought, but there was no rush in finding a partner!
What he needed to worry about now was the system treasure chest that he had obtained from the mission selection. What could he get?
Fang Yuan instantly came back to his senses and quickly opened his portable space to find the system treasure chest.
"You have opened the system treasure chest x1!”
"Congratulations on obtaining the Intermediate Xiangqi Skill Book!”
Intermediate Chess Skill Book:
The system produces an item. After using it, you can obtain the equivalent of ten years of hard work in chess. The effect (years) of multiple uses can be stacked.
……
Chess skills…what was the use of this thing?？？
Could it be that he wanted to go to the park and bully an old man?？？
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"But forget it, it's a free ride anyway. Besides, having more skills doesn't burden me!”
After comforting himself, Fang Yuan directly used the skill book.
After absorbing all the "memory and experience" brought by the skill book, Fang Yuan looked at the stacks of banknotes and tickets in his portable space.
It was still 1965, and the third set of banknotes had not been issued yet.
Therefore, this pile of banknotes was the second set of banknotes, and it was also the only set of three-yuan banknotes.
Fang Yuan had nothing to do and counted carefully. It was exactly 1000 yuan!
Don't think that 1,000 yuan is a small amount. In this era where workers are treated quite well, the highest level (Level 8) of a mechanic can only earn a little more than 100 yuan a month. Normally, it would be around 80 to 90 yuan.
The average worker would only get 37 or 38 yuan!
If they didn't have enough seniority, like Qin Huairu in the original drama, they would only get 27.50 yuan a month!
Those who had just entered the factory and were not students who had transferred over would have an even lower price!
If that didn't make sense, then let's talk about prices.
In the sixties and seventies.
Eggs only cost about 20 cents per catty.
The pork was basically 70 to 80 cents per catty.
The beef and mutton were also roughly the same.
The rice, especially the polished rice, was only 20 cents per catty.
The white and fine noodles were also floating around.
Ordinary rice and noodles were actually only two cents smaller.
The coarse grains were even only a little more than 10 cents per catty!
A primary school student's tuition and fees were 2.5 yuan per semester, while secondary school students only had 5 yuan per semester!
Bean Popsicle, Red Fruit Popsicle, 3 points each. The cream popsicle was only 5 points!
The ones with filter tips in Greater China only cost 70 cents per box!
As for Feitian Moutai, which was later known as the king of white spirits, in the past ten years, a bottle per catty only cost seven to eight yuan to ten yuan!
And Wuliang Ye seemed to only be around five or six pieces!
The famous Fen and Xifeng wines only cost two or three RMB!
If you had 10 yuan in your pocket, how could you go to a restaurant and eat and drink all kinds of delicacies!
In contrast, a family of five, six, seven, or eight people in Beijing could live on 30 to 40 yuan a month. 60 to 70 yuan was quite comfortable!
Therefore, it was not too much to say that he was a tycoon!
Of course!
It started with the planned economy in the 1950s and continued until the 1990s.
In the past 40 years, the country had always been buying with tickets.
Food tickets, cloth tickets, food tickets, meat tickets, oil tickets, wine tickets, salt tickets, sugar tickets, cigarette tickets, watch tickets, bicycle tickets, television tickets, and even porcelain cups and thermos bottles!
The ticket was simply the " purchasing qualification "!
Only when you have the corresponding tickets can you spend money to buy the corresponding things!
And the 10 pounds of free food ticket given by the system was considered a system prop.
After using it, you can specify to generate a total of 10 catties worth of food tickets, including but not limited to food tickets, oil tickets, alcohol tickets, sugar tickets, salt tickets, egg tickets, meat tickets, etc.
Also, let me tell you secretly…
No matter which era it was, some private transactions actually existed.
So if he really didn't have a ticket and wanted to buy something, he could go to the black market.
In fact, even tickets were sold in the black market and in private!
It was just that most people lacked tickets, and not many people had spare money. Otherwise, some tickets were too scarce and few people sold them (bicycles, watches, etc.), or relatives and neighbors gave each other relief, so it was rare to buy tickets.
But in fact, there had always been private transactions, including in the original drama, where even the deaf old lady sold food stamps in private.
Because he had just watched a TV series before transmigrating, Fang Yuan remembered this plot very clearly.
In the third episode, Shazhu had personally carried the deaf old lady to sell food stamps.
A total of sixty-two catties of food stamps (not food, just the ticket itself) were sold for 12.40 yuan!
The old lady wanted 12.50 yuan, but unfortunately, the other party refused.
Therefore, if there was really a shortage of tickets, they could actually use money to get them, even if they risked the crime of speculation.
As for how much it would cost, that was hard to say.
In any case, food stamps were worth about two kilograms, which could be bought for a market price of one jin.
In addition, in those days, one could actually take grain to the grain station to exchange for food stamps. One catty was about nine taels worth of food stamps.
Unfortunately, how could the commoners bear to suffer such losses? Moreover, it was a problem whether they had enough food to eat!
On the contrary, there was no place to exchange for bicycle tickets and meter tickets. They had to fight for the allocation of places through formal channels or gamble on luck in the black market.
And the price was not cheap!
After all, bicycles, watches, sewing machines, and the radio were all known to ring once every three turns!
This was the top configuration for life and marriage in the sixties and seventies!
Fang Yuan didn't know much about sewing machines and radio sets, but the Shanghai and Hengdeli watches from back then were both well-known in the country!
As for bicycles, Shanghai's Yongjiu and Phoenix, Tianjin's Flying Pigeon and Red Flag, they were still childhood memories of many people born in the 80s and 90s!
Especially the 28-inch bicycle. The child couldn't even complete a full lap, so he would only sway it in half a lap!
……
As he thought about it, Fang Yuan suddenly wanted to get a bicycle!
After all, he had to rely on his legs to go out. Although he was exercising, it was too time-consuming!
As for the trolleybus…
Good fellow!
In the future, they were already squeezed like sardines on the subway every day. They couldn't be sardines after transmigrating!
"It's settled then! Next, think of a way to get a bicycle!”
"Anyway, this thing isn't expensive. In this era, it should be around 100 yuan. It can't be more than 200 yuan!”
" But the only problem is that I don't have tickets…I'll have to try my luck at the black market…"
" But I don't know how many black markets there are in the city and where they are…Besides, my predecessor didn't have any memory of them…"
"I'll have to ask someone about it…"
If he wanted to ask for information, Fang Yuan immediately thought of Silly Zhu, First Uncle, and the others.
However, let's not talk about anything else first. These few people were all at work now and were not in front of him.
Thinking about it again, sure!
He should go to the backyard and ask the deaf old lady!
One had to know that this was a proper citizen of Old Four Nine City!
Most importantly!
If she wanted to live in the Siheyuan, she could ignore others, but the Deaf Old Lady had to build a good relationship!
