Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 236 Sewing Tickets and Sewing Machines
But it doesn’t matter, just do it!

So Wang An said: "Okay, don't worry about this. You sit on the sledge and go to your house to unload the meat first."

When Qiao Xiaohu heard this, his face suddenly lit up, and he agreed while sitting on the sledge.

Wang An saw Qiao Xiaohu get on the sledge, pointed at Mu Xueqing and introduced to Qiao Xiaohu: "By the way, this is Sister-in-law."

Qiao Xiaohu quickly greeted Mu Xueqing: "Hello, sister-in-law."

Mu Xueqing smiled and agreed: "Haha, Xiaohu, right? You too."

Qiao Xiaohu suddenly turned red and did not dare to look at Mu Xueqing. Wang An and Mu Xueqing almost laughed when they noticed Qiao Xiaohu's shyness.

I have to say that children in this era are relatively innocent.

On the way, Wang An asked: "Are they still gathering in that old house?"

Qiao Xiaohu replied: "Well, they haven't changed places, but they have a lot of new people and a lot of students."

Wang An nodded and said, "What are they doing right now?"

Qiao Xiaohu said without thinking: "I see Duan Huhu is holding a blunderbuss, while others are holding pickaxes, machetes and so on."

A fire gun is an earthen gun, also called an iron sand gun or a gunpowder gun. It is the kind that is loaded with iron sand and gunpowder from the front.

Wang An nodded and said nothing, but was thinking about what to do for a while.

After arriving at Qiao Xiaohu's house and unloading all the prey from a sledge, Wang An made a rough estimate because there was a lot of cargo this time.

There are about 450 kilograms of bear meat, about 130 kilograms of wild boar meat, 9 red dogs, 136 rabbits, 19 pheasants, 28 half-catties, and 15 flying dragons.

All of them added up to almost 620 or 30 yuan.

After Wang An made the calculation, he said to Qiao Xiaohu: "Remember to be more careful. Next time I come to settle the account, give me 27 yuan less."

Qiao Xiaohu was startled when he heard this, but he immediately realized that what Wang An meant was that the money robbed should be counted on Wang An.

After reacting, Qiao Xiaohu was very moved and said quickly: "Thank you, brother, for saying this."

Wang An interrupted Qiao Xiaohu directly and said: "Come on, don't say anything, just sell meat to me properly. It's the New Year, it's time to increase the price."

Qiao Xiaohu nodded vigorously and said: "Don't worry, brother, I will follow you and work hard to make more money."

Wang An waved his hand and drove Mu Xueqing with the sledge towards the grain station.

Wang An parked the sledge at the entrance of the grain station, then walked to a few people who were smoking with cross-body bags, and asked these people: "Which of you has a sewing ticket or an industrial voucher?"

These people are the ticket sellers in DJ County. Of course, in this era, there are ticket sellers in every county and city.

Otherwise, many of the tickets given to many employees would be of no use at all, and it would be impossible to give them away, so they would have to find ways to sell them secretly.

In fact, the people above turn a blind eye to these things.

Because many leaders have a lot of useless votes in their hands. Why would they keep them if they don’t sell them?

These people are just a few of all the ticket sellers in DJ County, and they belong to different small gangs.

Each small group has people who take turns to stay here every day, collecting and selling various bills.

Of course, the organizers of each small gang are people with backgrounds.

Because ordinary people can't do this job. To do this job, you need a very strong network of connections and a group of very capable people!

In fact, even if ordinary people are capable, they can only do it in a small way. Not only can they not make much money, they also have to guard against people from all walks of life.

After hearing what Wang An said, one of the people came out and said, "Exchange tickets or buy them directly?"

Wang An had no valuable tickets except cloth tickets in his pocket, so he said, "Buy it directly. How much does it cost?"

The man said without even thinking: "13 yuan and 5 cents." Wang An knew the rules of this business. The selling price of all tickets was basically one-tenth of the actual value of the goods.

But Wang An also knows that the purchase price of this thing is based on one-tenth of the price, plus a 7 to 8% discount.

So Wang An asked very simply: "Can I chat with you for 12 yuan?"

Wang An's attitude is that it's a fixed price, if it works, it will go, and if it doesn't, it will be pulled down.

The man hesitated for a while, and then Wang An made a move to leave.

Although sewing machines are in short supply in this era, just like bicycles, many people can afford them, but not many people actually dare to buy them or are willing to buy them.

Seeing that Wang An seemed to have no intention of buying, the man immediately said: "Hey, brother, don't leave. Either you are adding 5 cents, and we will make a deal. Do you think that's okay?"

Wang An glanced at this man, said nothing, just shook his head, and then made a gesture to leave.

The man became anxious and said directly: "Brother, don't leave. I'll sell you for 12 yuan."

Wang An didn't say anything. He took out 12 yuan and handed it over. The man looked for the ticket and muttered:

"Brother, the price you gave me is incredible. I charged a higher price, 11 yuan. After two months, I earned 5 cents. Hey!"

Wang An just smiled but didn't answer. How can anything in this business be true?
After the man handed the sewing ticket to Wang An, he pointed to the sky and said, "I have a good relationship with the people here. I have all kinds of tickets. Come to me if you need anything."

After the transaction was completed, Wang An said with a smile: "Okay, I will tell you when I see my brother. I must find you next time."

Before Wang An had walked a few steps, he heard a group of ticket sellers talking behind him: "This madman hasn't been around for a while, and I don't know what he is busy with?"

"Then who knows, if I buy a sewing machine, I must be rich."

"I originally felt that this guy was a bit serious."

Wang An returned to the sledge and drove the sledge straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Xiao An, shall I go look for that Duan Laohu with you later?" Mu Xueqing couldn't help but say while sitting on the sledge.

Wang An was shocked when he heard this. This bitch is getting more and more evil now, and she even dares to play hard with a bunch of gangsters.

But Wang An definitely can't agree. How can he let his wife get involved in the affairs of a bunch of gentlemen?
So Wang An said directly: "Quickly pull him down, I think you are going crazy, what? Do you not believe in your man's strength?"

Mu Xueqing did not answer, but was thoughtful.

After arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang An estimated the places at home that needed clamping. Before he could open his mouth, he heard Mu Xueqing say:
"Buy a few more and leave some clips for Sister Shen Wei's house to be prepared."

When Wang An heard this, he was stunned again. His wife was simply a good wife to choose in case of any eventuality!
Wang An said calmly: "Okay, I will listen to you."

Mu Xueqing whispered: "You can really act like a brat."

Wang An: "."

I bought 60 clips for 24 yuan. This thing in this era is really expensive!
Wang An placed a bunch of clips strung together at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, and then went to the hardware counter to buy a sewing machine.

The sewing machines of this era are serious big-ticket items, costing a full 135 yuan, and you still need a ticket!
After loading all the things on the sledge, Wang An pulled Mu Xueqing towards a yard.

When they were quite far away, Wang An stopped the eldest son, and then Wang An asked: "Daughter-in-law, do you have a gun?"

Mu Xueqing didn't think much, she just took out the big 54 and handed it to Wang An.

Wang An immediately felt happy. His wife really had the potential to become a female bandit.

Wang An shook his head and said, "I'm carrying a gun. Just keep an eye on the sledge here. I'll be back in a moment."

After Wang An finished speaking, he walked towards the yard where Duan Laohu was.
