Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Chapter 166 The deal is done

Liu Jingxue then realized that Sister Jin had brought her here because she wanted her to help with the meat.

She was a little hesitant, as she had no intention of selling goods to make money.

If she had the intention, with the spiritual soil in the space that could adjust the flow of time, she could produce a lot of food in minutes and resell it on the black market.

The things produced in this space are of superb quality, so there is no need to worry about no one wanting them.

She would make a fortune immediately.

But it was only October of 70, when the movement was at its most intense.

If the history of this time and space is the same as her original time and space, it will take about 7 years for this movement to end.

Liu Jingxue was not short of money. Not to mention the good things left by the original owner's ancestors, there were tens of thousands of cash in her space alone. There was really no need to take the risk to earn this money.

Although she didn't want to offend Sister Jin, the post office worker, Liu Jingxue still shook her head and refused.

"Sister Jin, this is considered a private business.

I wouldn’t dare to do this. If I were caught, I would be sent to a labor camp or even demoted.”

Sister Jin said quickly, "We're not going to the black market, and it doesn't matter if only you and I know about it.

We can pretend to be relatives, and relatives should be courteous to each other. Even if others find out, they won’t say anything.”

Although Sister Jin said this, Liu Jingxue was still a little worried.

Her uncle and the others still need her to take care of themselves, and she can't put herself in danger for a little money.

What should they do if something happens to them?

Thinking of this, she shook her head and said, “Sister Jin, although I really want to help you, I still don’t dare.

If someone reports us, we won’t be able to escape.”

"I've already said that this is a gift-giving exchange between relatives, just like when your brother sends you a package and you give him something in return, what's the problem?

Moreover, according to what you said, exchanging meat with the villagers is also a private transaction. How dare you do it?

It's the same whether you exchange with me or with the villagers.

Besides, we didn’t tell anyone else. We’re the only ones who knew about it, so who would report it?

I can't be so stupid as to report myself." Sister Jin advised.

Seeing that Liu Jingxue was still hesitant, Sister Jin began to tempt her.

“Sister, after you go to the countryside, without the benefit of monthly invoices in the city, is it difficult to get invoices?

Let me tell you, Sister Jin, I work in the post office and have a wide network of contacts.

We usually share what we have with each other. I’m not exaggerating, but I can get basically any ticket.”

“If you’re worried that our private transaction might be discovered, I’ll exchange the ticket with you at the head office.

If the tickets are not enough, you can pay the difference.

This way, even if we are discovered, we will have something to say.

Besides, there are many people who do this kind of thing, and unless it is too blatant, no one cares.

Nowadays, who doesn’t have relatives in the countryside? "

When Liu Jingxue heard Sister Jin talking about tickets, she became a little interested.

She asked tentatively, "Sister Jin, can you get cigarette tickets, wine tickets, toilet paper tickets, kerosene tickets, and coal tickets?"

Liu Jingxue prepared the coal briquettes for the cowshed.

The winter here is too cold. If I have to get snow or ice and boil water to wash my face every morning, it would be too cold.

Why is it ice cubes? Because I heard from Zhang Guiying that the water in the water tank would have frozen in winter.

Many people went outside to shovel snow and burn it for washing.

Some people even use melted snow water as drinking water.

After hearing this, Liu Jingxue planned to prepare a coal stove, a kettle, and some coal briquettes for the cowshed.

At that time, the coal stove will be burning 24 hours a day, and there will be hot water available when you wake up in the morning. You can soak your feet in hot water at any time, which is much more inconvenient.

There are coal stoves and kettles in the space that were brought in by Xinshi, and they can be taken directly to the cowshed.

It's coal briquettes. There are none in the space, so she has to find a way to get them.

The Northeast is rich in coal resources and has an abundant supply of coal briquettes, but that does not include rural areas.

When Liu Jingxue heard Sister Jin say that she could get all kinds of tickets, she immediately thought of the coal tickets that she urgently needed.

There were also cigarette tickets, wine tickets, toilet paper tickets, and kerosene tickets. Because they were needed to supply the cowshed, we often had to find ways to get tickets.

Thinking of this, Liu Jingxue's eyes moved slightly, and she asked tentatively, "Sister Jin, can you get coal tickets, cigarette tickets, wine tickets, kerosene tickets, and toilet paper tickets?"

Sister Jin was delighted to hear her say this. She thought to herself, as long as you have a need, I am not afraid that you will be taken down by me.

She patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, sister, I can get all these tickets."

"But, sister, can you tell me, are you buying the wine for yourself or as a gift?"

Liu Jingxue thought about it and realized that she was preparing the wine for the cowshed.

Her aunt secretly told her that ginseng wine is very nutritious, and asked her to find a way to get some wine.

It doesn't matter whether the wine is good or bad, but the quantity should be large.

After all, what he took over was a ginseng that was more than 200 years old. If he couldn't drink much, even if he just put some ginseng roots in it, the medicinal properties would be too strong and the nourishment would be too much for his body to bear.

It is best to get more wine to dilute the medicinal properties and take the tonic slowly.

"Drink it yourself," Liu Jingxue replied.

“Sister, if you’re drinking by yourself, you’d better not get a wine ticket and buy it from the supply and marketing cooperative.

A small bottle of wine is so expensive and it is finished in just a few sips. It is not worth it.

Aren't you an educated youth in the production team? Go to the village and ask which family is making wine, and then trade with them.

This kind of bulk wine doesn’t require a ticket, is cheap, and doesn’t necessarily taste worse than bottled wine.”

Liu Jingxue was puzzled and asked, "Wine is not made from grain. Isn't it said that grain is precious? Would anyone in the production team use grain to make wine?"

"It's cold here in the Northeast. If you want to go out in the winter, bring a bottle of wine with you and drink a few sips of wine from time to time to warm your body. Otherwise, you won't dare to go out."

When Liu Jingxue heard this, she immediately understood, "Sister Jin, I understand, thank you for telling me the news.

So, apart from the wine tickets, are you sure you can get the other tickets?"

“Absolutely no problem.

However, apart from coal tickets, the quantity of other tickets will not be too large. You also know that only a few of those tickets are issued each month, and they need to be used at home, so not many can be exchanged for others.

I can get some help from others and get a few."

Liu Jingxue thought about it and decided to make the deal with Sister Jin. After all, she didn't have any acquaintances here, and she couldn't get these tickets unless she went to the black market to exchange them.

The black market is too dangerous, she doesn't plan to go there.

Originally, she planned to write a letter to Chen Yanran and exchange the dried meat directly with her for cigarettes, alcohol, toilet paper and kerosene.

But as Sister Jin said, except for certain people, ordinary city residents will not be given cigarette or alcohol tickets.

Even those families who can issue invoices don't get much every month. They keep some for their own use and don't have much to exchange for others.

Then just switch sides, so that you can supply more to the bullpen.

But as for Sister Jin, I still need to make things clear to her. If something happens, I will not admit it.

"Sister Jin, I agree to trade my meat for your ticket.

But let me be frank with you. If someone finds out one day, I will never admit that I have made a deal with you.

Also, I only trade with you. I don’t care where your tickets come from, but I won’t contact anyone else.”

When Sister Jin heard this, she was overjoyed and quickly assured him, "Don't worry, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

If someone finds out one day, don't worry, I will never betray you.

I'm not that stupid. If I insist that I didn't make any deals with anyone and there's no evidence, the Red Guards wouldn't dare do anything to me based on my family background.

If I give you away, I would be condemning myself."

"Sister, when can you get the goods for me?" Sister Jin asked.

Liu Jingxue thought for a moment and said, "Maybe three days later.

Come to the post office early on the fourth morning so we can complete the transaction before other people arrive. This way we don’t have to worry about being seen.”

“Okay, I’ll prepare the coal tickets, cigarette tickets, toilet paper tickets, and kerosene tickets for you then.

If it’s not enough, I’ll make up for it with money.”
