I am many years in the courtyard

Chapter 145, Coal Ticket (for subscription)
September [-]th, [-], the [-]th and [-]th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, is suitable for: getting married, traveling, moving, signing a contract, trading, opening a business, breaking ground, praying for blessings, planting, etc.

In a word, today is a good day.

Many years went out while it was still dark.

Getting married today, there are many things to do, and the running tasks cannot be stopped.

But today's training tasks have been cut in half.

After training, he came to Pigeon City.

Compared with before, there are indeed many more people coming to Pigeon City now.

Not long after September passed, the commune also ushered in its first harvest since its establishment.

Now that there is a harvest, apart from the public grain handed in, it is the grain distributed by the collective.

Everyone is distributed according to their respective work points, which is fair, just and open.

In addition to grains such as wheat, there are also harvests produced by the commune such as pears and sweet potatoes. As long as they are collective, they will be distributed.

一般情况下一个全劳力, 干一天是10分。妇女一天应该是6到7分，老人和小孩一天是在3到4分左右。

Some people have a lot of children in their family, and the food allocated is less. They need to take the wheat and replace it with sweet potatoes and other coarse grains, otherwise the family will starve to death if they don’t have enough food.

And some people have more adult labor and fewer children, so they are allocated more food.

So I will replace part of the coarse grains with fine grains, and want to live a good life.

Under such a background, Pigeon City gradually prospered.

Walking into the Pigeon Market, he has seen many things over the years, giving him the illusion that he went to the market in a small town in his previous life.

Baskets and dustpans made of bamboo strips were placed on the ground, and there were many things in them.

In addition to food, fruits, etc., there are also wild vegetables, wild fruits, etc., and even hares, eels, etc.

It seems that overnight, Pigeon City came to life.

However, when I asked about the price for many years, I was stunned.

Because most people want to exchange things, not money or tickets.

This completely confused him.

But there are also many who want to exchange money and tickets, which gives him room to maneuver.

It took him more than half an hour to buy a lot of fine grains, coarse grains and fruits. Of course, he would not let go of game such as eels, hares, and young wild boars.

However, if this continues, I am afraid that he will have to continue to exchange dollars in a while, because the renminbi will not be enough.

The space has collected a lot of supplies, and the money he recently spent on bicycles, renovating the inverted house, etc., has really stretched the funds on hand.

Don't look at the unit price of these coarse grains and fine grains is not expensive, but the quantity is added together, it is still very expensive.

"Forget it, after we get married, we can find a way to exchange it."

After talking to himself for many years, he was about to leave Pigeon City.

In addition to banks that can exchange foreign currency, presumably pigeon market is also possible, but he was not very lucky and didn't meet the right second-hand dealer.

The conversation between the two people next to him caught his attention.

Some people want to sell coal tickets, and second-hand dealers are about to buy them, but they are holding down the price.

After all, second-hand dealers also want to make some money, so it is normal to keep prices down.

"Comrade, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, can you sell me the coal ticket at the original price?"

He interrupted suddenly, making the other two look at him vigilantly, and the second-hand dealer looked fierce.

Coal tickets are scarce items, and honeycomb coal is even more rare among scarce items.

For Erdao dealers, if they can win it, they will really make a lot of money.

But the ticket seller in front of him didn't know much about the value of the coal ticket. It was estimated that there was something wrong with the source of the coal ticket, and the other party was in a hurry to sell.

Therefore, the Erdao dealer wanted to lower the price, but he unexpectedly killed Cheng Yaojin.

Seeing Zhou Weiming wearing tattered clothes and straw hats for many years, he could only see the outline of his face, and couldn't help frowning:
"Are you really rich?"

As far as Zhou Weiming is concerned, as long as he can afford the price and is really rich, he is naturally more willing to pay the highest price.

For many years, without saying a word, he directly took out two cards of great unity.

Seeing this, Zhou Weiming's eyes stared straight, and his breathing became short of breath.

From childhood to adulthood, he has no shortage of food and clothing, and it is not the first time he has seen two pieces of money from the Great Unity.

But now he is about to have so much money, that's why he is so excited.

"Comrade, how many catties of coal tickets do you have? I bought them all. If not enough, I still have money here." After many years, he shook off the great unity in his hand, and stepped forward to let the other party see it. more clearly.

The sky was gloomy, and I couldn't see clearly, which was very normal.

Zhou Weiming is still very sensitive to banknotes, he saw it clearly, and said quickly:
"I have 580 catties of coal tickets, how much can you give me?"

The Erdao trafficker, who was ignored, became anxious when he heard the words.

How can a good deal be interfered with by others?
"Comrade, don't sell it to him. You can sell it to me directly. I'll pay you five yuan and fifty cents. How about it? This price is not low!"

Bicycle tickets cost 50 yuan per ticket and are hard to find. Although coal tickets are also tight, they are not as hard to find as bicycle tickets.

Therefore, the value of coal tickets will be greatly reduced.

The relationship between supply and demand determines the price of commodities, which is fully reflected in the pigeon market.

Zhou Weiming was overjoyed when he heard the words. This is really great, so let's bid against each other.

Hearing this for many years, he smiled slightly and said:
"Fair competition, I only have 20 yuan here, I don't care how much you pay, I will always only pay you a dime, come on, please start your performance."

Gah!
The Erdao businessman has been staring dumbfounded for many years, this bastard is too hateful!

It's a pity that the sky is too gloomy, otherwise, he would have to remember the face of many years when he said anything, and he would come to fuck the other party next time.

Today this time, that's all.

Zhou Weiming was dumbfounded when he saw the Erdao businessman leaving in despair, what about the agreed bid?
As soon as the other party left, many years said: "How about this comrade? Are you satisfied with the price of five yuan or sixty cents?"

Zhou Weiming frowned, "It's still too cheap, can you add a little more?"

It can be judged from the voice that Zhou Weiming's age is not very old, and this can be confirmed for many years.

He doesn't even know how to negotiate, he can't hold his breath, he can show his emotions and anger, he is a proper rookie.

For such a rookie, it has been my favorite for many years.

"Then how much do you think is appropriate?"

A rhetorical question stunned Zhou Weiming, and he listened to it for many years:

"The value of coal tickets is indeed very high, but too many people have coal tickets, and besides coal tickets, everyone can also choose firewood"

"So, comrade, it's not cheap to buy these coal tickets in your hand for five or sixty cents. Just take it when you see it."

Just accept it when you see it?

After a while of hesitation, Zhou Weiming still sold the coal ticket to many years.

Because the latter is right, even if he went to the second dealer just now, he would have no other choice except to be lowered by the other party.

Besides, five yuan and sixty cents is already a lot.

Therefore, for many years, 580 catties of coal tickets were purchased at a price of less than ten cents and ten catties.

Although not a lot, 580 catties of coal tickets is not too little for him.

A standard briquette weighs two and a half catties, has twelve holes, and burns for up to 4 hours. It is smokeless, tasteless, and fully burned.

And the price of a standard briquette is one penny.

In other words, 580 catties of coal tickets can buy 230 two briquettes, and you need to pay two yuan, three cents and two cents.

These 230 two briquettes can burn continuously for 928 hours.

Based on the fact that cooking takes four hours during the day and eight hours for heating at night, the 230 briquettes can only last for 77 days.

However, this is only an ideal calculation method.

In fact, it is impossible to spend only four hours cooking and cooking during the day.

It is impossible to burn only one briquette for heating with briquettes.

Therefore, in 77 days, at least half of it will be cut.

The winter in the entire capital is quite long, lasting at least four months.

Four months is 120 days. In other words, in many years, at least three 580-jin coal bills will be purchased, and the coal for the family this winter is barely enough.

"Comrade, do you still need coal tickets?"

Just when many years were about to leave, Zhou Weiming suddenly stopped the former and asked in a low voice.

The latter held five yuan or sixty cents tightly in his hand, feeling the charm of money.

For many years, I looked at the other party with a little surprise in my heart, and said to myself, whose family's silly child is this?
"Yes, do you still have coal tickets? I will charge as much as you have."

If the other party can continue to provide him with coal tickets, then he would like to do so.

In January [-], the coal merchant industry had implemented a public-private partnership. Some coal merchants cooperated with the municipal coal construction company, and other coal merchants were under the unified leadership of local state-owned stores.

At the end of August and the beginning of September this year, residents began to buy coal for winter use, and the 8-meter-high briquettes piled up in the coal shed were sold out within a week.

Therefore, at this point in time, almost all the residents of Beijing who use coal have bought coal for the winter.

In other words, no one has many remaining coal tickets.

I suddenly felt that my tone was a bit loud, and I quickly explained again after many years:
"I have a lot of family members, and there are many people who need coal."

This sentence was a bit far-fetched to explain, but Zhou Weiming didn't think much about it at all.

"Okay, I still have one and a half tons of coal tickets, do you want all of them?"

Hearing the other party's words, he was shocked for many years. This unlucky boy still has so many coal tickets?

He asked cautiously, "Is this coal ticket safe?"

I saw Zhou Weiming said indifferently:
"It's okay, you can use it at ease, I have a lot of coal tickets in my house, and I can't use them all up"

Second-generation ancestor?
I haven't asked more questions for many years, and quickly said that one and a half tons is no problem at all, and he can buy it, or even buy more.

"Then I will come here tomorrow, just at this time, we agreed?"

"Okay, let's do that!"

Looking at Zhou Weiming's leaving back, he pondered for a moment for many years, then withdrew his gaze and left.

Why do you care so much?

As long as the other party can take out the coal ticket and trade it with him, he will buy it.

When he left Pigeon City and passed the front gate, he also saw a tricycle coming out of a coal shop with a lot of briquettes loaded on it.

The shop outside the front door is called "Xinchengzhai" coal shop.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, coal shops were all private enterprises, but now they are all public-private partnerships.

Seeing a tricycle, I chased after it for many years.

"Hello comrade, where did you send the coal? Are you sending it to Nanluoguxiang?"

The old master riding a tricycle couldn't help being surprised to see that he ran fast without panting for many years, at the same speed as he was riding a bicycle.

After chatting with the master for a while, it took many years to understand what was going on.

This three-wheeled car named "581" is actually a car that just came out this year.

It is small in size and flexible in turning, especially convenient for transporting coal to the coal shop deep in the alley.

The old master is now transporting coal to his own home, because he is not busy now, so he will send it to his own home first.

I was very busy some time ago, and I only had a day off yesterday, so I hurriedly delivered my coal.

Otherwise, the coal is gone, which is difficult to handle.

It was precisely after hearing these things for many years that I seized the time to run home.

He didn't pay much attention to these before. He had to go to work during the day, and not many households in the courtyard house used coal, and everyone was still used to burning firewood.

Adding briquettes is not cheap, it costs a penny and a piece, and it only lasts for four hours.

There is also a coal shop near Nanluoguxiang, but it is hidden a little deep, in the alley next to the supply and marketing cooperative.

I don't usually pass by here, so I really didn't notice it.

In fact, since last year, the capital city has started promoting briquettes.

Many residents in the capital city have switched to honeycomb coal, but it was after the 60s that the real burning of coal by the whole people took place.

"Hello comrade, is there any coal left? I want to buy coal..."

When you walk into the coal shop, you will see large coal sheds, but they are all empty.

I didn't see the briquettes, and I searched with my eyes for many years, and I saw people sitting in the small house next to the bill collection.

Then he stepped forward and asked, the other party looked up and said:

"Go ahead and book your tickets first, and I'll take you home in the afternoon."

Hey, that's not too bad!
Immediately, many years took out his coal ticket, and then took out two yuan and thirty-two cents.

"Where do you live? What's your name?"

The other party took the ticket and money, and began to register.

To be honest, this job is quite simple.

It's just that the working environment is not very good, and I don't like it for many years.

"Siheyuan in Nanluoguxiang, the east wing of the central courtyard, I called it for many years."

After buying coal, it took many years to come home whistling.

580 catties of coal is not much, but I should be able to buy some more tomorrow.

Just now, I chatted with the old master and the staff who collected the money. After many years, one thing can be confirmed, that is, after September, there is no shortage of coal.

But it will be much less. Whether you can buy coal at that time depends on fate.

The reason is also simple, this year more families use briquettes than last year.

This year we have to wait for the delivery of coal, and there were not many people who came to buy coal last year.

That's the difference!
Therefore, for many years, you have to buy coal tickets as soon as possible, and hurry up to hoard coal, so as not to freeze your hands and feet in winter!
