Siheyuan Diaosi Attack

Li Yue listened to the salesperson's explanation. Although he felt helpless, he also understood that this was the rule and could not be changed.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "If I want to buy other tickets, where should I buy them?"

When the salesperson heard this question, her face changed slightly. She looked around vigilantly and made sure that no one noticed them. Then she lowered her voice and kindly said to Li Yue: "Buying and selling bills is illegal. Once discovered, you will be arrested.

So, I advise you not to try this approach.”

Li Yue was shocked after hearing what the salesperson said.

He didn't expect that buying tickets would involve illegal behavior, which made him feel a little scared.

He said to the salesperson gratefully, "Thank you for your reminder, I understand.

I will leave now, and come back to buy the tickets when I have them."

Then, Li Yue turned around and walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative. Standing at the door, he frowned and was filled with anxiety.

He knew that he was facing great difficulties now. Without tickets, he could buy almost nothing.

He couldn't help but sigh at the restrictions and constraints of this era, cursing in his heart: "It's really frustrating!

Damn those days! You need a ticket to buy everything, unlike today, where you can buy anything as long as you have money."

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard people talking in low voices next to him.

He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and found that two people were talking about tickets.

One of the passers-by said, "Do you need to exchange your ticket?"

Although the sound was very small, Li Yue still captured it keenly.

Li Yue's heart moved, and he immediately realized that these two people might be exchanging tickets.

He decided to move closer and listen to what they were saying.

So he quietly moved closer to Passerby A.

Passerby A noticed someone approaching, and immediately turned to look at Li Yue alertly and asked, "What are you doing?

Why are you near me?"

Li Yue quickly explained: "I just heard you talking about the ticket exchange, so I wanted to come over to find out.

Are you guys exchanging tickets?"

After hearing what Li Yue said, a hint of vigilance flashed in Passerby A's eyes.

He stared at Li Yue and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Exchange tickets? You must have heard it wrong!

When did we say we were going to change the tickets?"

Passerby B also seemed very nervous. He echoed Passerby A's words, trying to hide his panic: "Yes, you must have heard it wrong.

We just talked about not having enough tickets and planning to go back to get some, there was no question of exchanging tickets."

Li Yue looked at their nervous expressions and knew that they must be worried that he would expose their illegal behavior.

He quickly waved his hands and explained: “You really misunderstood me!

I'm not here to arrest you. If I were, you would have been surrounded by now, right?

I just wanted to exchange some tickets with you guys that I need."

After hearing what Li Yue said, the vigilance on Passerby A's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a relieved expression.

He looked at Li Yue, then looked around, and after confirming that no one else noticed them, he slowly spoke: "Did you really hear everything I said?"

After hearing what he said, Li Yue looked around. It was crowded with people and obviously not a suitable place to discuss such a sensitive topic.

He lowered his voice and said carefully: "It's not appropriate to talk about these things here. We'd better go somewhere else to discuss it in detail."

After hearing this, Passerby A also realized this.

He nodded in agreement and took the lead to walk forward.

Passerby B followed closely behind, while Li Yue kept a certain distance and followed behind them.

The three of them walked through the bustling streets and came to the entrance of a relatively quiet alley.

Passerby A and Passerby B walked in without hesitation, and Li Yue followed in after a slight hesitation.

The alley was empty, with only a few sparrows jumping on the ground looking for food. It seemed exceptionally quiet.

Passerby A stopped in the alley, turned around, and stared at Li Yue sharply.

Li Yue also stopped and looked at him.

In this quiet alley, the two people's eyes met, as if they were engaged in a silent contest.

After a while, Passerby A broke the silence and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, what ticket do you want to exchange?

What are you going to exchange for it?"

Li Yue listened to his words, pondered for a moment, and then said: "How did you change your ticket?

Is it a ticket for a ticket, or money for a ticket? "

Passerby A smiled and replied, "Either way is fine, it depends on which one you choose.

How would you like to change?

What kind of tickets do you want to exchange for?"

After hearing this, Li Yue had an idea in mind. He said, "I want to exchange money for tickets.

What tickets do you have available?"

Passerby A nodded and said, "I have a variety of tickets here. Which ones do you need?"

Li Yue didn't even think about it and directly stated his needs: "I want some tickets for daily necessities. Also, do you have any tickets for iron pots and iron stoves?"

Passerby A frowned after hearing what he said, thought for a moment and said, "I have some tickets for daily necessities and iron pots.

However, tickets for the Iron Furnace are quite scarce, and I don’t have any at the moment.

If you really need tickets for the Ironforge, I'm afraid you'll have to find a way to get them yourself."

Li Yue felt a little disappointed after hearing this, but he also understood that tickets for Tielu were indeed difficult to find.

He decided to get the tickets for daily necessities and the iron pot first, and then slowly find a way to find the ticket for the iron stove.

So he went on to say, "Sure, what you need is one ticket each for cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar; one ticket each for a frying pan and wash basin; two tickets for a vegetable sink; four tickets for plates and four tickets for bowls.

That’s basically it.

Passerby A couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and said jokingly: "Brother, if I didn't know you, I would think you were buying wedding items when I heard the things you wanted!

Hahahaha~ From these, I can tell that you should have just moved to a new residence, right?"

Li Yue also smiled and replied: "Yes, we just moved to a new house, so of course we have to buy new things!"

Passerby A nodded to show his understanding, and then said: "Okay, in that case, let me help you calculate the price.

The price of this iron pot is a little more expensive, costing 50 cents, while other items like basins are only 20 cents, plates and bowls are 10 cents, and the remaining oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are 10 cents.

All added up, the total is one dollar and eighty cents!"

After listening to this, Li Yue responded: "Okay, I understand!

Then I will pay now, and you give me the corresponding ticket."

Passerby A smiled and replied, "Yes, I'll get it to you right away. Please wait a moment."
