Chapter 9 Sun Daqing comes to collect debts

Zhao Wenguang did not expect that his younger brother would stay in the kitchen of a state-owned hotel for so long.

He waited outside for more than two hours.

The hotel was magnificent and the kitchen must be very clean and tidy. He was worried that his feet would be dirty, so he refused to go in.

Li Guofu arranged for a waiter to take Zhao Wenguang to the lobby to rest for a while.

So Zhao Wenguang drank tea in a state-owned hotel for two hours.

But as the morning passed, he was no longer so reserved.

After Zhao Wenmu came out of the state-owned hotel, the two of them hurried straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

You can buy some small items without tickets, but the price will be much higher. Zhao Wenmu thought about it, and it was more cost-effective to find someone to count the tickets.

In the future, when buying big items, you won’t be able to buy them without a ticket.

In this era, having tickets is better than having money.

However, snakes have their own paths, and rats have their own paths. There are always people who have money but no tickets, so they need to buy tickets.

As long as market demand exists, someone will find ways to do this business.

Therefore, ticket dealers naturally exist.

Zhao Wenmu even values ​​these people very much, although most people have a bad impression of ticket dealers and think that these are problem youths and typical examples of people who are not doing their jobs properly.

Zhao Wenmu knows in his heart that these people are the most flexible and courageous group of people in the entire society.

Many of the most powerful figures in the future came from this group.

These people usually hang around supply and marketing cooperatives, state-owned hotels, guest houses, and bus stations, selling various tickets to people in need.

Zhao Wenmu scanned the surroundings at random and soon discovered a possible ticket seller.

It was a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, with his hands in his pockets, standing crookedly, and his eyes scanning the pedestrians on the road from time to time, especially those who looked like they were going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things.

He also glanced at both ends of the street from time to time, looking sneaky.

There is no other way. If you are caught by the police, you will be detained for a few days at least.

This should be the person you are looking for.

He asked his second brother to wait for him at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, and then walked straight towards the young man.

If he hadn't walked very fast, the young man would have been so frightened that he ran away, almost thinking that the police were coming to arrest him.

What made him even more stunned was that when the man came to him, he directly asked:

"Comrade, do you have a ticket? What kind of ticket do you have?"

"Yes, yes, there are cloth stamps, food stamps, and industrial coupons."

"I want 100 kilograms of noodles, oil stamps for 20 people, 6 kilograms each of soy sauce, vinegar, and salt, 10 kilograms of sugar, and cotton cloth for 10 people. How much is the total?"

"Uh, brother, say it again, I didn't write it down."

I really don’t blame him, Zhao Wenmu has too many things to buy, and there are often enough for several people.

You must know that one person’s quota is one person’s quota for one year!

Of course, one person's annual quota doesn't amount to much.

Zhao Wenmu said it again.

The young man wrote it down carefully.

"Brother, the total is 11 yuan and 8 cents. I don't have that many here. If you can wait a moment, I can get it for you."

After saying that, the young man gestured with his eyes, meaning that he had to go to the nearby colleagues to purchase.

"Okay, I'll wait for you for ten minutes."

In less than ten minutes, the young man ran over panting.

This is a big business, so I don't dare to neglect it.

Although the young man seemed carefree, he was still quite reliable in his work. All the required tickets were ready and accurate.

Zhao Wenmu paid the money readily and then asked:

"A three-ring ticket?"

Bicycles, sewing machines, watches, and radios are the four most important industrial products of this era.

If someone can collect the wedding gifts three times and one ring, it will definitely be a big deal.

As far as Shanqian Village is concerned, one thing is that people from a good family background can have one.

To buy these things, industrial coupons alone are not enough, but separate tickets are also required.

"Brother, I don't have it on hand, but I can get it. Just give me a few days."

"Okay, you can search first. If you have any news, go to the state-owned hotel to find Wang Youming and ask him to tell me."

"Okay!"

After getting the receipt, Zhao Wenmu turned around and walked into the supply and marketing cooperative.

It has to be said that Zhao Wenmu's behavior of serving dozens of people at every turn not only frightened Zhao Wenguang, but also the salespersons of the supply and marketing cooperative!

There is no such thing as a customer-first service concept in this era.

The state-owned supply and marketing cooperative is a very sacred place, and the salespersons are not just looking at people with their noses, but they are at least somewhat condescending.

Even the walls were posted with slogans saying "Don't beat customers at will".

At this time, the salesperson's attitude towards Zhao Wenmu also became very kind and positive, which can definitely be called sunny service and smiling service.

There was a reason for Zhao Wenmu to buy so many things. First of all, there were not many of them because the rations per person were very small.

Secondly, Zhao Wenmu has a large family. In addition to keeping these things for his own family, he also wants to give some to his eldest brother, second brother, and parents.

When I make some more money, I buy a bicycle to make it more convenient. I also want to send some things to the eldest sister and the second sister.

There is no way, plus Zhao Jing, the Zhao family has seven brothers and sisters!

Only the younger sister Zhao Wenqiu is still in high school, and the others are all married.

Zhao Wenmu also bought 5 Youyi brand creams and 10 clam oils.

Cream is a good thing. When you rub it on your hands and face, it not only keeps your hands moist, but also smells delicious, which is very warm.

Rural people are generally reluctant to use ice cream. People usually use clam oil, which costs 1 cent each. It can be used for more than half a year. It is also very effective in moisturizing, especially suitable for people with dry hands and feet in winter.

With the ticket, it was much cheaper to buy so many things. The total cost was 43 yuan.

Zhao Wenguang tried his best to resist the urge to drag his younger brother out.

When I paid, I felt as if I was cutting his flesh with a knife.

This is not his fault. Zhao Wenguang has never spent so much money once in his more than 20 years of life.

I have no experience spending 5 yuan at a time!

Watching the large group of people go away from them is as uncomfortable as losing a loved one.

No, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply turned around and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Hey, second brother, where are you going? Help me move my things!"

Zhao Wenmu hurriedly stopped him, and with the help of two comrades from the supply and marketing cooperative, the two brothers loaded the things onto the bullock cart and hurried home.

Let’s go back to Shanqian Village.

The people who were digging wild vegetables in the mountains felt a little worried when they saw that the two brothers had not returned yet.

I came back around ten o'clock before.

It's almost twelve o'clock, and there's still no one there.

They probably couldn't sell it, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law also felt a little regretful that they shouldn't have packed that big basket of wild vegetables for them again in the morning.

Mainly because Zhao Wenlin went to sell wild vegetables with Zhao Wenmu last night and was really shocked by the hot scene.

In the morning, he couldn't sleep, so he dragged his wife out of bed and went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables.

"Second child, third child probably didn't sell it. He's coming back later. Let's go home for dinner first!"

Seeing that it was almost noon, sister-in-law Liu Xiumei called everyone to go home.

Who would have thought that as soon as he returned to Zhao Wenmu's house, six or seven people walked in before he even made a fire to cook.

Zhao Jing's face changed immediately.

She could recognize that most of these people were Zhao Wenmu's drinking and poker friends, and two of them were Song Wenyuan and Qian Erniu, who liked to follow Zhao Wenmu into fishing and fighting.

Song Wenyuan is Song Yun's cousin, Qian Erniu is from Toucun, Shandong, and the eldest sister Zhao Wenmu is married to Toucun, Shandong, and he often goes there to play.
