"Uncle Wu, please eat first. I'll give you these two pots of sugar and garlic. I'll leave first." It was getting late, and Li Wen had something else to do, so he quickly finished slicing the mutton and making steamed buns.

Through chatting just now, Li Wen got to know more about Uncle Wu. He worked as a worker in the Dahua Textile Factory during the Republic of China and worked in the textile factory all his life.

In the past few years, when funds were relatively difficult, the factory called on old comrades to actively retire, so he retired, otherwise he would still be shining at his job!

The old man has five children and a dozen grandchildren, all of whom work in the textile industry. His two sons also hold leadership positions in the textile factory. He is a real winner in life!

"I don't want to think about it anymore. We'll see you next time if we have the chance." Li Wen threw his thoughts behind him.

Li Wen still has two bicycle tickets, three sewing tickets, two radio tickets, a flashlight ticket, a hot water bottle and more small tickets in his hand.

He planned to exchange all of them and put them away, but digesting all the more than 300 bills would be a big project.

Fortunately, Chang'an is a big city with a population of millions. There are also a large number of department stores and supply and marketing stores in the city, so Li Wen can safely digest these bills.

Li Wen first went to a hidden corner and put on makeup to make his image more hidden.

"Let's go!" Li Wen pushed his bicycle towards the nearest store.

Until get off work time in the afternoon, Li Wen visited more than half of the city, dozens of supply and marketing stores, and finally digested all the receipts.

"Good guy, this job is really not done by humans. In one day, my butt was almost split into three parts by the pit in the alley." Li Wen sighed while sitting on the recliner in the warehouse space.

Although the city's main roads have been repaired these days, various small streets are still gravel roads or "cement roads."

But looking at the pile of items piled on the ground, Li Wen still showed a happy smile.

After resting for an hour, Li Wen ate two buckets of instant noodles and a few sausages, and then began to tidy up.

In the past six months, Li Wen has redeemed the most flashcard tickets, which are particularly popular in rural areas.

Last year, Li Wen bought two for his family, and the old lady and his father regarded them as treasures. Flashlights can be said to be the most user-friendly and practical household appliances in this era.

Many rural people suffer from night blindness due to lack of nutrition. Sometimes they have to work or go to the toilet at night. If they are in the dark, they can easily fall and get injured, especially the elderly.

A flashlight costs around ten yuan, and any family that can afford it will grit their teeth and buy one.

Li Wen bought a total of more than 40 flashlights and about 120 batteries this time. Li Wen also bought some horse lanterns (windproof kerosene lamps).

The supply and marketing cooperative had calcium carbide lamps for sale, and Li Wen also bought six of them. People in this era thought that calcium carbide lamps were very magical. They would shine brightly if they were put on carbide and dripping water.

However, calcium carbide is difficult to buy, and it is dangerous to a certain extent. It is not as easy to use as kerosene lamps, so it has not become popular. It can only be seen and used in some mining areas.

The remaining items are thermos bottles, porcelain teapots, porcelain washbasins, and kettles. There are hundreds of items in total. These daily necessities are hard currency and can be exchanged for money at any time.

Looking at the pile of things in front of him, Li Wen felt as if he had returned to the role of a wholesaler, which was quite funny for a moment.

"What a fulfilling day! I have a sore back, so go to sleep." After packing his things, Li Wen was already so tired that he lay down and fell asleep without washing.

"Damn biological clock." Every morning, the biological clock wakes up Li Wen on time. After looking at the alarm clock, it was only after 6 o'clock, Li Wen muttered and cursed.

When he got up, he didn't want to go back to sleep. After stretching, Li Wen walked out of the lounge and prepared to wash up.

At this time, the fat pigs in the pig pen in the yard saw Li Wen, and they were so affectionate that they jumped up and down and barked non-stop.

"Okay, okay, stop barking. I'm going to feed you. Didn't I forget to feed you last night?" Li Wen's energy moved, and a dozen large pumpkins and corn kernels filled the pig trough.

When the fat pigs saw something to eat, they stopped grunting at Li Wen and began to fight for the food one by one.

"Good guy, what a pig! The food tastes so delicious, it makes me hungry." Li Wen complained as he looked at a group of fat pigs filling the pig trough with delicious food.

I hurried to the bathroom to wash up, then walked to the kitchen and started making breakfast.

Just have a simple breakfast, polenta with leek boxes, fungus, onions and kelp for cold dishes, and a bowl of braised pork.

"The good life is so simple and unpretentious!" Li Wen put a mouthful of braised pork into his mouth and sighed as he watched Dahei Erhei chewing on the braised pork bones he threw.

During his break from eating, Li Wen also found time to feed all the other livestock with one click. The only pity was that he had to do the watering himself.

"Dahei, Erhei, if you try to catch rabbits while I'm away, I'll see if I don't kill you." Before going out, Li Wenshun threatened the two honest dogs.

After using his mental strength to see if there was no one outside, Li Wen got out of the space.

After wandering around the street for a while, Li Wen hailed a rickshaw and set off towards the department store.

Li Wen is going to buy a bicycle and a radio today. There are less than a month left for these tickets, so he has to spend them quickly.

"Hello, comrade, I want to buy a Huanghe brand bicycle." Li Wen came to the bicycle counter holding the radio box and said.

"120 yuan, a bicycle ticket, and fifteen industrial coupons." The salesperson, an aunt in her forties, looked at Li Wen curiously.

"Young man, are you getting married? You've already bought a bicycle and a radio, are you planning to buy a three-turn ring?" the salesperson asked gossiping when Li Wen took out a thick stack of banknotes.

"No, no. I'm only 15 years old, how can I get married so soon! I bought this for my brother." Li Wen couldn't resist this kind of gossip, and waved his hand hurriedly.

"Fifteen is not young, so you can get engaged first! Young man, I see you are quite handsome. How about my aunt introduce you to a date?" the salesperson asked with a smile.

This saleswoman also had a sharp eye. When she saw the wad of banknotes that Li Wen took out, she judged that Li Wen must be from a superior family. When she heard that Li Wen didn't have a partner yet, the middle-aged woman's thoughts of securing a match immediately became active.

If he can successfully save coal, the young man will definitely receive a lot of thank you gifts. At this time, the saleswoman kept thinking in her mind.

"Auntie, you are disappointed. I already have someone I like." Li Wen could only smile apologetically.

"Oh! That's such a pity. Do you have any brothers?" the saleswoman asked reluctantly.

"My brother is only 9 years old, so it's too early to propose marriage! Thank you, aunt, I don't need to trouble you to propose marriage." Li Wen pushed his bicycle and left with a smile.

He really couldn't figure out why these aunts and aunts liked to introduce people to people so much. It was the same in previous lives.

Today, Li Wen did not wander around the area where he bought yesterday. Instead, he visited other stores that he had not visited. It was not until about four o'clock in the afternoon that Li Wen safely bought several large items.

Li Wen didn't just buy things these two days. The reason why he wanted to wander around Chang'an City was to find the location of the black market in Chang'an City.

By the way, take a look at the topography and living standards of Chang'an City, so that you can make plans for your life in the provincial capital in the future.
