Chapter 31 Tickets Sold Again
Qin Dahe's complexion did not return to normal even after he walked all the way to Guangfeng County.
Qin Yingxue took him directly to find Qian Xiaofeng.
When Qian Xiaolian saw Qin Yingxue, a sweet smile immediately appeared on her dusty little face, and she obediently poured hot water for the two of them.
After chatting with Qian Xiaolian for a while, Qian Xiaofeng came back after finishing his work.
Seeing Qin Yingxue and Qin Dahe at his home, Qian Xiaofeng's face flashed with surprise: "I didn't see you two when I went to Qin Village these past two days. I was wondering where you went. Such a big roe deer, you didn't go into the mountains, did you?"
Qin Yingxue did not deny it, and kicked the burlap sack at her feet: "There are three wild rabbits in here. We'll keep one for ourselves. Do you have any connections to help us sell them?"
Qin Yingxue said this with her back to Qin Dahe, while giving Qian Xiaofeng a wink.
Having been with Qin Yingxue for so long, Qian Xiaofeng naturally understood her implication and smiled, "Of course, you can stay, but the money will be given to you tomorrow."
"Okay!" Qin Yingxue readily agreed.
The reason for this trip was that Qin Dahe knew about both roe deer and rabbits.
If they were sold directly to the mall and disappeared in front of Qin Dahe, even good people would be terrified.
After selling the prey, Qin Yingxue didn't stay any longer, leaving half a pound of brown sugar for the Qian siblings before leaving.
After being away for two days, it's impossible to go back empty-handed.
Qin Yingxue took Qin Dahe to a state-run restaurant for a meal first.
Today's dishes are braised pork ribs, stir-fried pork liver, and I also ordered a bowl of fried tofu and vermicelli soup.
There were also steaming hot buns.
She ate a bowl of rice and a meat bun.
Qin Dahe ate three bowls of rice and two meat buns.
The meat buns of the 1980s were not only thin-skinned and filled with plenty of meat, but also had a rich aroma and generous portion size, making them two of the largest in later generations.
After finishing her meal, Qin Yingxue ordered twenty more meat buns and two servings of braised pork ribs to take away.
Then they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. The girl who had bought the TV plane ticket last time lit up when she saw Qin Yingxue. She squeezed over with a fawning expression and asked in a low voice, "Miss, thank you for the TV plane ticket last time. My name is Wu Xiaohong. Do you have any other tickets left?"
Qin Yingxue's heart skipped a beat: "As long as the price is right."
“Price is not a problem,” Wu Xiaohong quickly replied. “I’ll wait for you in the alley across the street after you’ve finished shopping.”
Qin Yingxue nodded.
She had used nearly expired coupons at the supply and marketing cooperative several times, but even so, she still had a large pile of coupons in her hand.
After marrying Song Yanchuan and living on the island, she had even less opportunity to use it.
Therefore, she was naturally happy to sell it for money.
This is also why she didn't stoop to Wu Xiaohong's level last time.
In my past life, when my business was just starting out, I had to endure all kinds of hardships and had already worn down my sharp edges, struggling to survive in the cracks.
She wouldn't take a mere clerk at a supply and marketing cooperative seriously.
Realizing that they had run out of eggs at home, Qin Yingxue bought fifty of them when she saw they were available at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Qin Yingxue was lucky today; there was still some pork belly left, so she bought it all and also bought a piece of lean meat.
Thinking of the big meat buns at the state-run restaurant, Qin Yingxue felt her mouth watering again.
She bought 20 jin (10 kg) of flour, planning to make steamed buns at home.
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, but the Qin family members were still wearing short-sleeved shirts made of cotton and linen. Qin Yingxue saw various colors and patterns of polyester fabric displayed on the counter and bought each member of the Qin family a short-sleeved shirt.
Thinking that Old Wu had just recovered from a serious illness, Qin Yingxue finally chose a plain blue color for her.
Since I'd already bought it, I also bought her a can of malted milk powder and a pound of brown sugar.
As they strolled around, their hands were soon full again.
When it came time to pay, Qin Dahe, having no receipts, insisted on giving Qin Yingxue five yuan of his own savings.
Qin Yingxue thought about it for a moment and then accepted it.
While living in the Qin family, my third brother had nowhere to spend money.
After she leaves, she will return all the money he has left in her possession.
He can spend it however he wants.
As the two walked out of the state-run restaurant, Qin Dahe spotted Wu Xiaohong waving from the alley across the street.
Qin Yingxue looked around to make sure no one was paying attention before leading Qin Dahe over.
Wu Xiaohong is quite bold; she actually dared to make a deal with someone near the supply and marketing cooperative.
Last time, he was even more impatient, not afraid of being complained about and losing his secure job.
Or is it that the policies are now more lenient, and everyone is turning a blind eye?
"What do you want this time?" Qin Yingxue didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.
"Last time I saw the girl had refrigerator vouchers, bicycle vouchers, and sewing machine vouchers. Do she still have them now?"
Wu Xiaohong's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly.
Qin Yingxue was taken aback for a moment, then gave Wu Xiaohong a meaningful look.
This girl must be from a wealthy family! She's asking for all sorts of nice things.
These tickets just so happened to come from the Xie family, and Qin Yingxue didn't intend to spend them on herself. Selling them for money would be ideal, but what she wanted...
Seeing the hesitation on Qin Yingxue's face, Wu Xiaohong quickly said, "Don't worry, miss, I got these for my sister-in-law and my friends. They all came to my house to see the TV tickets when they found out you had other tickets, so they gave me the money a while ago. I've been waiting for you for days..."
As Wu Xiaohong explained, she took out a large stack of ten-yuan notes from her bag.
After hearing the whole story, Qin Yingxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and took out a stack of tickets from her cloth bag.
After finding the ticket Wu Xiaohong wanted, he was about to put the other tickets away.
Wu Xiaohong's excited voice cracked slightly: "Girl, you still have watch tickets, and two of them at that?"
If Wu Xiaohong hadn't told her, she really wouldn't have known.
She hadn't even looked at the huge stack of tickets carefully, and could only give a vague reply.
"Miss, do you sell watch tickets?" Wu Xiaohong knew she was speaking too loudly, so she looked around guiltily, covered her mouth with her hand, and asked in a low voice.
"Sell it!" Qin Yingxue said indifferently.
Wu Xiaohong was provoked by Qin Yingxue's attitude: "Add the two watch tickets, how much is it in total?"
"I'll sell you a watch ticket for 100 yuan, a refrigerator ticket for 50 yuan, a bicycle ticket for 100 yuan, and a sewing ticket for 40 yuan. That's 390 yuan in total."
Qin Yingxue quickly calculated the price.
Wu Xiaohong didn't even blink before readily counting out 390 yuan.
Having experienced the last time a TV plane ticket sold for 600 yuan plus a pair of leather shoes, Qin Dahe actually felt that his younger sister had asked for too little.
After Wu Xiaohong left, Qin Dahe asked the question that had been on his mind: "Sister, these tickets are rare items, how come they're so cheap? Five of them cost less than the price of one TV drama ticket?"
"The high price of TV tickets was driven up by speculators, and I had a bit of a falling out with Wu Xiaohong that day, so I intentionally raised the price," Qin Yingxue explained. "Today she was nice, and since we were having a normal transaction, I naturally sold it to her at the market price."
