Chapter 27 Cheap Moutai

When Tang Lei returned to Tongzi Building, it was still dawn, but Liu Xiufen's door had already opened, but the person was missing.

After Tang Lei entered the door, he was about to go upstairs, and Liu Xiufen's voice came from behind: "Tang Lei? Where did you go so early? Why didn't I see you going out?"

Tang Lei stopped, his heart skipped a beat, and he turned around with a stiff expression and said, "I just went out and was hungry. I want to go outside to see if there is any breakfast. I will go upstairs first, Sister Liu."

Liu Xiufen looked at Tang Lei's back with a strange expression, turned around and muttered in a low voice: "I remember I locked the door when I went out! Strange!"

Tang Lei returned to the room and sat on the bed, feeling a little worried, frowned and murmured to himself: "It seems that you will either walk through the main entrance tomorrow or come back early. You can't let Liu Xiufen run into it again, otherwise she will definitely be suspicious."

After thinking about the countermeasures, Tang Lei lay back on the bed and went to bed. He got up too early today and had to continue to make up for his sleep.

It was 11:30 noon.

Tang Lei, who woke up, washed his face and prepared to go downstairs to have some food. When he arrived downstairs, he saw Liu Xiufen sitting at the door knitting a sweater as he did yesterday.

After thinking for a while, Tang Lei came to Liu Xiufen and smiled and said, "Sister Liu, I want to inquire about something with you."

Liu Xiufen knitted a sweater in her hand, looked up at Tang Lei and said, "What's the matter?"

Tang Lei walked to Liu Xiufen and sat down, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Liu, do you know where can I change the tickets in Jiangcheng?"

Liu Xiufen stopped knitting her sweater, stared at Tang Lei and said, "What are you doing?"

"I want to buy a recorder to listen to music, but I don't have a ticket in my hand, so I just want to change one or buy one in someone else's hand." Tang Lei said the draft in his heart.

"A recorder costs several hundred yuan a lot. You don't have any supplies to buy tickets. You have to buy supplies to buy tickets for dozens of yuan. Can you afford them, a student?"

Liu Xiufen looked at Tang Lei and said in confusion. Although she saw that Tang Lei’s clothes were quite new, she should not have much money to rent a house.

"Ms. Liu is so slim!"

After Tang Lei finished speaking, he lit up the Shanghai brand 19 diamond mechanical watch on his wrist in front of Liu Xiufen.

"Oh, I didn't see it! Go to my place to have dinner in the evening and pay me a pound of half a pound of food coupons!" Liu Xiufen said with a smile and mocking.

"Okay!" Tang Lei smiled bitterly.

"I'll call you tomorrow morning, and I'll take you there." Liu Xiufen said.

Tang Lei was waiting for this sentence and smiled and said with a happy smile: "Thank you, Sister Liu!"

"By the way, Sister Liu has something else to do!"

"explain"

...

...

"Um."

"Then Sister Liu, I'm out!"

When Tang Lei achieved his goal, he said goodbye and found a place to fill his stomach.

Tang Lei spent 60 cents to have lunch in a state-owned restaurant. It may be a bit extravagant for people at this time, but it is okay for Tang Lei.

However, Tang Lei has to spend money in a planned manner now. He has only brought about 2,000 yuan in total, which is equivalent to about 15,000 yuan in Tang Lei's era.

Moreover, Tang Lei needs to leave 6700 yuan to buy Gengshen Monkey Tickets, and also needs to bring a few boxes of white wine back.

So Tang Lei now needs to sell bicycles, TVs, and watches imitated in the "white hole" space for money.

Today is January 7th, and there are almost 40 days left before the issuance date of Gengshen Monkey Tickets, which means that Tang Lei still has to stay for more than 40 days at this time point before he can go back.

During this period, I still need money to eat, drink, defecate, and sleep!

After waiting at the bus stop for a while, Tang Lei arrived at the station with two long iron braids on his head.

After Tang Lei got on the bus, he told the ticket seller about his destination. After paying the ticket, he found a seat to sit down.

In 1980, Jiangcheng was facing the craze for migrant workers in surrounding counties and cities to work for the first time. This city with a glorious history will also usher in the biggest change in its history!

But now it is still in its infancy. The tram is very slow and has to drive in the prescribed lane, otherwise the iron braid on the top of the tram will be difficult to move forward after the iron braid on the head derails.

Some farmers who had just entered the city to work and make a living did not know about this. They pushed tricycles and sold items along the street, but occupied the tram's lane, which caused the tram driver to curse.

Half an hour later, Tang Lei stood in front of the largest state-owned store in Jiangcheng, looking at the huge sign above his head: Jiangcheng Department Store, with a smile on his lips and walked in.

"Comrade, do you still have wine here?" Tang Lei asked the female clerk with a smile.

"Yes, which kind are you going to?" the female clerk stopped the work she was doing and replied impatiently.

Tang Lei was not angry either because he knew that this was not the time when his clerk saw customers coming in and would say you were good.

You should know that the supply and marketing cooperative clerks of this era have staffing and are a very popular position!

"Comrade, how much does that Zhijiang Daqu cost per bottle?" Tang Lei asked with a smile.

"1 yuan and 8 cents." The female clerk replied.

"Where is that Wuliangye?"

"5 yuan!"

"Where is that Fenjiu?"

“5.5.”

"How much does that Moutai cost?" Tang Lei finally pointed to the Flywheel Moutai in the cabinet behind the clerk and said.

"7 yuan! It's not whether you buy it or not!"

After the female clerk finished speaking, she looked at Tang Lei with an expression that could you afford it.

When Tang Lei saw the female clerk's expression, he felt a little unhappy from the initial inattention, and his face immediately became gloomy. After all, he lived in that era when customers were God for more than 20 years.

With such an attitude, if he worked in his "404 grocery store", Tang Lei would have told him to get out!

"Call your manager here, I want to talk to him." Tang Lei said without paying attention to the clerk and ignoring the female clerk's eyes.

"Oh, you can afford it, you still call the manager. You should take a wine ticket to the supply and marketing cooperative to break up the wine." The female clerk said loudly, and the nearby customers and clerks also followed their reputation.

When Tang Lei heard the female clerk's words, he held back his anger with a gloomy face and shouted: "Why are you a lesbian talking so mean! You have to know that you are a waiter now and I am a customer!"

"Oh, there's still a customer! I don't have money to pretend to be a master here!"

After the female clerk finished speaking loudly, she stopped looking at Tang Lei, and sat down and continued to fiddle with the work in her hand.

When Tang Lei saw the female clerk's appearance, he couldn't bear it. He immediately took out a stack of 10 rounds of great unity, angrily shot it on the counter, and shouted at the female clerk who mocked him, "Come your manager for me!"

The female clerk was startled by Tang Lei's actions. Just as she wanted to get up and choke, another female clerk ran over and pulled the female clerk who mocked Tang Lei. She looked at Tang Lei and smiled and smoothed out, "This gay man calms down, wait a moment, I'll call the manager now."

Tang Lei nodded to the female clerk who was trying to smooth things over, turned around, and ignored the female clerk who mocked him.

But the female clerk's words "What!" almost made Tang Lei break the defense!

Tang Lei suppressed his anger and calmed himself down. After all, if it really makes a big deal, it would be even worse for him, because his identity is fake, and he found it out as soon as he checked it.

However, Tang Lei was indeed very angry. He had been in the future for a long time and could not help but have a future way of thinking.

After a while, a fat man with a round face and a wine nose came over with a stern face.

After looking at Tang Lei’s clothes, he looked at the stack of 10 rounds of great unification on the counter. He suddenly looked at Tang Lei with a smile and said, “Is this comrade going to buy wine?”

Tang Lei nodded with a gloomy face.

The fat male manager continued to smile and asked, "How many bottles do you want to buy for comrade?"

Tang Lei glanced at the fat male manager and said coldly: "A lot! Do you want me to say this here?"

"Then comrade comes to my office to talk!" the fat male manager invited with a smile.

Tang Lei nodded to the fat male manager, then looked at the female clerk who mocked him, put away the stack of 10 rounds on the counter, and walked into the office with the fat male manager.

When he arrived at the office, the fat male manager asked Tang Lei to sit down, poured a glass of water in front of Tang Lei, and said with a smile: "Comrade, you are a gay man, don't be as knowledgeable as a little girl, so please calm down."

"She is still a little girl? The aunt is almost the same!" Tang Lei said with a sneer.

"Let's not talk about her anymore. How much wine does comrade want to buy?" The fat male manager returned to his position and said with a smile at Tang Lei.

"Tell me the variety and price of yours." Tang Lei replied coldly.

"We have a retail price of Maotai, five yuan for Wuliangye, five yuan for Luzhou Laojiao, and six yuan for Xifeng wine..."

"Comrade, what kind of thing do you want?" After introducing the fat male manager, he took a sip of water from the teacup and said.

"How much does a box of Moutai cost?" Tang Lei said after thinking for a moment.

"A box of 12 bottles, comrade, if you want it, you will count 80." The fat male manager said with a smile.

"Where is Luzhou Laojiao?" Tang Lei continued to ask.

"Comrade, you have to calculate 57."

...

...

"Let's do this, Manager Wang, I'll take three boxes of Moutai, Luzhou Laojiao, Fenjiu, Xifengjiu, each, two boxes of each, Wuliangye, Zhijiang Daqu, and Jiangfenjiu, how much do you calculate the money?" Tang Lei said as he heard the fat male manager quote the price, looking at the fat male manager with expressionless face.

When the fat male manager heard that Tang Lei had reported the number, he immediately ran away from outside to calculate and start to settle the accounts.

After calculating twice, the fat male manager looked up at Tang Lei and smiled and said, "The total is 918 yuan, I will erase the fraction, 910. What do you think, comrade?"

Tang Lei nodded and continued, "Do you still have aged wine in your store now?"

"It seems that comrade, you are also a person who knows how to drink!"

The fat male manager laughed and joked, and then said, "Yes, yes, but there is only one box of Luzhou Laojiao that has been in 1973. The people of Jiangcheng are not used to drinking Luzhou Laojiao, and slowly they are all left."

Tang Lei asked in disappointment: "Don't there be old Moutai?"

"Yes, there are only 3 bottles of 1970 five-star brand, but the wine has been running away a lot, and the price is expensive, so it has been stuck in the warehouse." The fat male manager replied with a smile.

"Swap all the wine I want to be the oldest one in your store, and I want the three bottles of Moutai that can run wine."

"Comrades, we are all people who know how to drink. Although those three bottles of Moutai are gone, they are not cheap. If you want, you have to give 7 yuan a bottle." The fat male manager said bluntly.
