These children, if you tell them too much, they won’t understand, so it’s better to keep things simple.
Comparing one dollar with one penny, they quickly understood, because everyone knows that one dollar is more than one penny.
In other words, some tickets are equivalent to one dollar, while some tickets are only equivalent to one penny.
"Okay, you wait, I'll go home and get the tickets."
"Yes, but the quantity is limited. Just leave after changing. If you want to change, hurry up."
Hearing what Fangyuan said, the children who had been hesitating turned around and ran away, probably because they were afraid that they would not be able to change!
"I'll buy five yuan of this." The girl pointed at the fruit candies and said to Yuan.
"Okay." Fangyuan took five pieces of fruit candies and handed them to the girl.
"Give you money."
"Thank you!" Fangyuan took the money.
But his words of thanks made the girl feel confused. Shouldn't she thank him? The girl thought to herself.
The reason why Fangyuan thanked him was of course because the girl helped him open up the situation. If the girl hadn't asked, Fangyuan wouldn't have been so smooth later!
"Hey! Why are you running home?" The boy who just wanted to grab something from Fangyuan asked another boy.
"Let go." The boy pushed his hand away and said, "Don't you know? You can exchange your tickets for candies and peach cakes."
"What! Is it true or false?"
"Why are you lying to me? Okay, I'll go home and get the tickets." After saying that, the boy ran away.
The boy who just wanted to grab something from Fangyuan was left alone in a daze. To be honest, he also wanted to change it, especially when he heard that all the things placed in Fangyuan could be changed.
It's just that he wanted to grab something from Fangyuan just now. He was afraid that Fangyuan wouldn't change it for him. This is a child. If he were an adult, he would never think so.
As the saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Who is Fangyuan? How could he not change with him just because of what happened.
The boy thought for a while and ran home. He couldn't change it himself, so he could just ask others to change it for him.
It only took ten minutes! Fangyuan was busy non-stop. There was no way, there were too many people changing, and they all got a lot of tickets.
"Can I exchange this for money?" A boy asked holding several meat tickets.
"Of course." Fangyuan's eyes lit up when he saw the meat ticket, and he agreed without thinking.
"How much is that?"
"Let me see how many there are first?"
The boy quickly handed the ticket to Fangyuan. Fangyuan took a look at it and saw that it was five kilograms in total, and said, "I'll give you two and a half yuan, what do you think?"
Hearing Fangyuan say two and a half yuan, the boy nodded quickly and said: "Yeah! Okay, okay."
Fangyuan took out the money, counted out two and a half yuan and handed it to the boy. The boy happily took the money, took out a handful of tickets and asked, "Can these be exchanged for money?"
"Uh!" Fangyuan was stunned for a moment, because the boy took out too many tickets, and there were all kinds of tickets.
The most important thing is that there are actually food stamps in it, a whole bunch of them. The number on them is one catty. If they are all one catty, this is one hundred catties!
And they are all fine grain stamps. To be honest, this stamp is a bit tricky. After all, now is the time when food is most scarce. If this is their family's ration, it will be a big deal.
But at this time, Fangyuan remembered the words of the middle-aged man, the old man and the young man. People who live in such a compound have as many things as tickets, but it is very simple to get some.
"Okay, but the price is not high." Fangyuan said.
"It's okay, just tell me how much these are in total!" The boy handed the ticket directly to Fangyuan.
Fangyuan took it and looked at it. All the fine grain stamps were one pound, exactly one hundred. There were also liquor stamps, cigarette stamps, etc.
"It's thirty yuan in total, what do you think?"
"Thirty?" The boy's eyes lit up and he said quickly: "Give it to me quickly, give it to me quickly."
"Why don't you exchange for candy? Why do you need money?" asked a girl next to the boy.
"I don't want candy! I want to buy cannons to play with." The boy happily took the thirty yuan handed over by Fangyuan and said.
"Buy cannons?" The other children were stunned for a moment, and quickly said to Yuan Yuan: "We don't want to exchange candies anymore, we want money."
Hearing that everyone wanted money, Fangyuan really had a headache, because if he exchanged the candies for peach cakes, he could earn more.
Fortunately, only a few of the girls asked for money. They probably wanted to buy candies. Most of the girls exchanged for candies and peach cakes.
But when people want to change money, Fangyuan has to change it. Fortunately, he has a lot of money in his hands, and money is of no use now.
It can be said that it is enough. Besides, if Fangyuan wants to get money, it will be much easier than getting these tickets.
Let's put it this way! If he wants to make money, he can get a lot by just wandering around the pigeon market. Don't forget that these things he collected are all hot commodities.
Feeling that it was almost done, Fangyuan was about to leave. There was no other way. In this moment, Fangyuan collected more than 300 yuan worth of things, not counting the exchange.
Not to mention anything else, the food stamps alone cost nearly 400 kilograms, and they were all fine food stamps. Also, if people living in such a compound wanted to get food stamps, of course they would not ask for coarse food stamps.
"Would you like this?" Just as Fangyuan was packing up his things and getting ready to leave, a teenage boy came over and asked.
Fangyuan took a look and saw that the boy was holding food stamps, and there were a lot of food stamps. He nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes."
"How much can I exchange for sugar?"
"One ticket can be exchanged for two pieces of White Rabbit or ten pieces of fruit candies." Fangyuan looked at the ticket in his hand again and said.
The tickets in the boy's hand were all one-pound fine grain stamps. Of course, they were not national ones, but local grain stamps.
Hearing what Fangyuan said, the boy turned his head and looked in one direction.
Fangyuan also glanced at it and found a person standing over there, and it was none other than the boy who wanted to snatch his things just now.
Needless to say, these food stamps probably belonged to him, and since he didn't dare to come over, he asked others to change them for him. Fang Yuan shook his head.
"Exchange these for sugar, exchange them for white rabbits, and exchange the rest for money."
"No problem." Fangyuan took the tickets and counted them carefully.
The more he counted, the more surprised he became. After counting, Fangyuan discovered that it was a full three hundred catties! One hundred catties were exchanged for sugar, and two hundred catties were exchanged for money.
Fangyuan first counted out two hundred pieces of White Rabbit toffee, then took out forty yuan and handed it to the boy, saying, "This one is two cents, and two hundred pieces is forty."
"Yeah!" The boy put the candy wrapped in paper into his arms, then took the money and ran away.
Fangyuan had already packed up before the boy came, so after the boy left, Fangyuan also left here quickly.
To be honest, Fangyuan's heartbeat is speeding up now, and he is also scared! This is not a small amount, not to mention being caught by the parents of those children, even if it is caught by those red armband aunts!
I ran for three miles in one breath before slowing down. With such a long distance, I shouldn't be able to catch up.
Fangyuan is really satisfied with today's harvest, which completely exceeded his overdue limit. This day's harvest was more than the previous week combined.
In fact, this is normal. The children I met before were all children who had not yet gone to school, and they did not understand many things.
Today is different! The children I met today were all school children, and some of them may be in their third or fourth year. What don’t they understand?
Unknowingly, Fangyuan returned to Deshengmen. Because she was afraid that someone would follow her, Fangyuan took all the small paths.
Just when Fangyuan was passing by an alley, he saw a woman pulling a little girl. Fangyuan was stunned for a moment and stopped.
It was not because of anything else, but because he knew this woman. When Fangyuan came to the city for the first time, it was this woman who gave him a bowl of hot water.
The woman may have forgotten him! When she passed by him, she just glanced at him and left quickly.
The little girl, who looked about three or four years old, kept staring at a nearby grocery store without even looking towards Fangyuan.
"Mom." The little girl shouted.
The woman stopped, looked at the little girl and asked, "What's wrong?"
The little girl didn't say anything, but pointed to the non-staple food store. The woman glanced at the non-staple food store, turned back and said to the little girl: "That one doesn't taste good. Mommy will make you some steamed cakes when you get home."
The little girl swallowed her saliva, but still nodded and followed the woman forward, but her eyes were still staring at the grocery store.
There is a difference between the city and the countryside. In the countryside, or in Qinghe, non-staple food like this is sold in supply and marketing cooperatives, while in the city there are specialized non-staple food stores.
Fangyuan also took a look at the non-staple food store, and then slowly followed them until they entered a large courtyard.
Of course Fangyuan here knew that he came here to look for water, and the woman gave him a bowl of hot water.
Fangyuan sat down outside the gate, of course, still some distance away from the gate, and kept staring at the gate.
It took about ten minutes! Three children came out of the gate, three children of about the same age, including the little girl just now.
A boy stuck a small firecracker in the snow and lit it.
There was a "bang" sound, causing the two little girls covering their ears to giggle.
Fangyuan turned around, faced the wall, looked around to see if there was anyone, and suddenly there was a paper bag in his hand.
Fangyuan turned around, took the paper bag and walked towards the three children. She didn't stop until she reached the little girl.
"Brother, what's the matter with you?" the little girl looked up at Fang Yuan and asked.
Fangyuan smiled, rubbed her head with her right hand, handed the paper bag over with her left hand and said, "Here you go, take this home and give it to your mother."
"Brother, what is this?"
"Leave it to your mother and you will know." Fangyuan said.
"Oh!" The little girl nodded, took the paper bag and ran into the yard.
Fangyuan had already left quickly at this time, and the contents in the paper bag were regarded as repaying the favor of the bowl of hot water.
"Mom, mom," the little girl shouted as she ran back into the yard.
