Siheyuan: Lou Xiao'e, Yu Li and the Savage Woman

In fact, with Cao Haotian's current ability, he could easily steal two bicycles from a state-owned shopping mall without anyone noticing.

But he didn't want to do that.

There are two main reasons:

One is that Cao Haotian is not short of money now. Let alone buying two bicycles, he can even buy two planes easily.

The second is that bicycles of this era need to be registered, and a valid purchase invoice must be provided when registering.

So Cao Haotian planned to get two bicycle tickets on the black market, and then take the money and tickets to the state-owned shopping mall to buy two bicycles openly.

Cao Haotian started shopping on the black market.

Although the black market is not very large, it sells a wide variety of goods.

There were grains, eggs, pork, dollars, gold bars, antiques, medicines, and even guns.

Although these things are sold, their prices are ridiculously high.

For example, corn flour. Under normal circumstances, if you go to the grain station with your grain certificate and buy it, the price is only ten cents per pound.

But in this black market, the price per pound is at least fifty cents.

If you have food coupons, the price can be even cheaper.

Cao Haotian strolled around the black market and came across some things he liked.

If the seller is kind, honest and does not bid randomly.

Cao Haotian just paid for it directly.

If the seller has an attitude that is rude, arrogant and asks for an exorbitant price.

Cao Haotian left the stall directly, walked about fifty or sixty meters away, and quietly put the things he had just seen into the space.

After a walk around, Cao Haotian's space had some gold antiques and a piece of tiger bone.

He spent less than ten dollars in total...

At this time, a young man in his 20s with a scar on his face came to Cao Haotian stealthily:

"Hey buddy, you want a ticket?"

The scarred man was holding a stack of tickets, including food tickets, cloth tickets, oil tickets, etc.

Cao Haotian nodded: "Do you have a bicycle ticket?"

His purpose of coming to the black market was to buy bicycle tickets.

"I don't have bicycle tickets, but I have industrial coupons here."

After the scarred man finished speaking, he took out a thick stack of industrial coupons from his pocket.

Cao Haotian estimated that there were at least 100 sheets in this thick stack.

"How much is this industrial voucher?" Cao Haotian asked.

Because of the scarcity of materials in this era, many industrial commodities used in daily life had to be purchased with tickets or coupons.

For example, watches, sewing machines, bicycles, etc. can be purchased using industrial coupons in combination with cash.

Normally, a bicycle requires about 30 industrial coupons.

So if you can't buy a bicycle ticket, you can buy some industrial coupons.

In that era, every ordinary worker could receive industrial coupons every month.

Generally speaking, it is paid according to the monthly salary.

If the monthly salary is 20 yuan, then an industrial voucher will be issued.

If the monthly salary is 40 yuan, then give two bills.

And so on.

The scarred man replied, "Each industrial voucher is three dollars. If you buy a lot, I can give you a discount."

Cao Haotian didn't even need to ask other ticket sellers to know that the price given by the scarred man was ridiculously expensive.

If one industrial voucher costs three yuan, then 30 vouchers would be 90 yuan.

Add the money for buying the bicycle, it would be at least more than 200 yuan, so this price is unaffordable for ordinary people.

Cao Haotian asked: "If I buy all of your industrial coupons, how much cheaper can each one be?"

"I'll give you 20 cents off each ticket. Just give me $2.80 each."

After the scarred man finished speaking, he began to count how many industrial coupons he had in his hand.

Cao Haotian smiled and turned away.

"You're not allowed to leave?" The scarred man stopped Cao Haotian and said, "You've already bargained for the price. You must buy all the industrial vouchers I have."

"Are you sick? When did I ever bargain?" Cao Haotian cursed.

He didn't expect that there would always be people who force people to buy or sell things in every era.

"You little bastard, how dare you scold me?" Scar Nan stretched out his hand and tried to strangle Cao Haotian's neck.

Cao Haotian took advantage of the situation to grab the scarred man's wrist, turned around and threw him over his shoulder.

The scarred man was thrown to the ground.

"Hey hey..."

The scarred man on the ground wailed.

"Grandson, you are in trouble..."

Cao Haotian ignored him and walked up to kick the scarred man twice.

Then he waved his hand and collected all the food coupons, cloth coupons and industrial coupons on the ground and on the scarred man into the space.

At this time, six people gathered around not far away.

Cao Haotian estimated that these people were in cahoots with the scarred man.

He didn't stop and walked quickly towards the outskirts of the black market.

"Boy, you hit someone and you still want to run away, stop right there."

Seeing Cao Haotian trying to run, the six people chased him from behind.

The scarred man also got up from the ground and followed the six people.

When he ran to the outskirts of the black market, he saw two people on guard who tried to stop Cao Haotian.

Cao Haotian ignored them and knocked the two men on guard to the ground with two punches.

Cao Haotian walked slowly, and the seven people still followed behind him.

Coming to an empty alley, Cao Haotian stopped:

"Do you seven know how to write the word death?"
