It was dark when I came to Zhongtian at 5:00 in the afternoon, because it was New Year's Eve and the dinner would be a little later. Ye Lin was going to go out at this time.

It's said that it's the Chinese New Year, and he shouldn't go out again at this time, but there is no way. During this period of time, he ran here today and every day, so he didn't have time to collect the tickets from several uncles in the pigeon city.

It’s New Year’s Eve today. If you don’t accept the tickets from the uncles, it’s really unreasonable. And with so many tickets in your hands, I guess the uncles will not be able to have this New Year.

Ye Lin came to the square, and several uncles were already waiting for him. When he saw Ye Lin coming, several uncles surrounded him.

"Ye Lin, you are finally here, we are not here because you are not here again today."

"That's fine. I'm so embarrassed to take out the tickets. I'll give you the money now."

When the uncles heard Ye Lin say this, they were obviously relieved and quickly took out the ticket and handed it to Ye Lin. Ye Lin ordered it one by one and gave the money to the uncles.

The tickets of several uncles are more than 600 yuan together. This money may not be anything to Ye Lin, but for several uncles, it is a lot of money.

After receiving the ticket, Ye Lin said, "I'm really embarrassed, I'm delayed your New Year. Don't worry, I will definitely compensate you after the New Year."

"No need Ye Lin. If you can collect the ticket, it will be the biggest compensation for us. It's getting late now, so you can go back quickly."

Hearing the uncle say this, Ye Lin nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk about it after the New Year. Please go back to celebrate the New Year soon."

"Okay, go back."

Just as Ye Lin was about to leave, an uncle called him and said, "Ye Lin, I have a few wine tickets here. I wonder if you will accept them?"

"Wine ticket? What wine ticket?"

Of course Ye Lin knew about wine tickets, but they were usually Erguotou wine tickets. Ye Lin didn’t need such tickets, and not many people bought them. So at the beginning, he told several uncles that they would not accept wine tickets.

However, today I delayed the uncles from going home for the New Year, so Ye Lin was ready to collect them. Even if it didn't have to waste it, it didn't matter. It was not worth much anyway.

“Moutai.”

"Uncle Qi, are you sure it is Moutai?" Ye Lin's eyes lit up when he heard it was Moutai.

There are two types of trademarks in Moutai today, one is five-star and the other is Feitian. The five-star trademark is made of golden wheat ears and red five-star. The wheat ears are outside and the five-star is in the center.

The "Fei Tian" trademark borrows the image of "Fei Tian" in Dunhuang, which has a great influence in Western society.

But whether it is a five-star or a "Flying Sky", it is not something that ordinary people can buy. This kind of wine ticket is also supplied to those senior management or courtyard staff, and they also have to buy it in a specially supplied place.

However, people with this kind of wine ticket do not need to buy it themselves when drinking, and they will not sell it, so this kind of Moutai wine ticket is basically not visible outside.

Of course, there are also places to sell Moutai liquor, which is a department store, but few people can afford it. For example, if you buy Moutai with tickets, it only costs 97 cents a bottle of Moutai per pound. However, if you buy Moutai in a department store, it costs 16 yuan per bottle of Moutai per pound.

It has increased by four times. Not only that, the Moutai bought in a department store will be printed with local state-owned Moutai distillery, which is completely different from the Moutai printed with special-purpose characters with tickets.

Wine is the same wine, and the trademark is the same trademark, but the difference between local state-owned and special supply is big. If Ye Lin is willing, he can go to the department store to buy it every day. Although it is indeed not cheap for 16 yuan per bottle, it is really nothing compared to later generations.

Sixteen yuan per bottle, and an ordinary employee can only buy two bottles per month. If you buy it for drinking, it is indeed not cost-effective. However, if it is left for decades, although it is only a local state-owned enterprise, it is worth more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.

However, this is not very meaningful to Ye Lin, so he has never bought it. Of course, the reason why Ye Lin did not buy it was because he didn't want to be too arrogant. This era is not the time to be arrogant.

Also, the reason why Ye Lin didn't buy it now was that he thought that Wen*** would buy it again after his life. The price was similar to the current one, but it was no longer a sin to have money at that time.

But now it’s different. Now he has encountered Moutai liquor tickets, which are special offers. Even if he doesn’t sell them, it’s very respectable. And what he says is special offers.

"Yes, I'm sure it's Moutai." Uncle Qi nodded and said to Ye Lin with certainty.

"How many pictures do you have?"

"I only have three. Didn't you say you won't accept wine tickets before? So I didn't dare to accept them. I still plan to buy these three tickets myself, but when I think about the money for the wine and the money for the tickets, I was reluctant to let it go."

"Three tickets!" Ye Lin nodded and asked, "Uncle Qi, how much does this ticket cost per ticket?"

"Two yuan, five yuan, Ye Lin, if you want this ticket, I will give it to you for two yuan, five yuan, just give me the principal." Uncle Qi was probably afraid that Ye Lin would think it was expensive, so he wanted to give it to Ye Lin if he didn't make a penny.

"Don't, Uncle Qi, let's do it. Three dollars per bill, and I'll give it to you at three dollars per bill in the future."

"What? Ye Lin, don't you want a wine ticket?"

"Uncle Qi, I'm not telling you clearly. I don't want Erguotou wine tickets. I still want Maotai wine tickets, and I want as much as possible." After Ye Lin said that, he said to several other uncles: "The same is true for including a few uncles."

The Moutai liquor purchased with tickets is 297 cents, and the money for buying tickets is only less than six yuan. It is about ten yuan cheaper than the local state-owned Moutai that is negotiated in department stores. How could Ye Lin not want such a price?

And this is a special offer, Ye Lin is not stupid.

"Ye Lin, what you said is true?"

"Of course it's true. As long as you get the tickets, I will give you money. No matter what price you charge, I will give you three dollars each here, and I will want as much as I want."

"Hahaha, OK, then we will start collecting after the New Year."

"Well, oh by the way, uncles, I only want the Maotai liquor ticket from the imperial capital."

"Don't worry, they are definitely from the imperial capital."

This era was the era with the most bills, but although bills were used, bills were different in each place. Even if one place was the same, let’s take industrial coupons as an example.

Industrial coupons in the imperial capital can only buy industrial products, such as bicycles, watches, TVs and radios, etc., but in other cities, industrial coupons are used everywhere.

For example, towels, blankets, wool, handkerchiefs, gloves, rubber shoes, sewing needles, sewing threads, etc., there are too many, even pots, pans and spoons, so these industrial coupons are not worth much.

Of course, it is also because of this that there are many more tickets in the imperial capital than in other places. According to statistics, since 1960, the imperial capital has purchased sixty-nine types of items with tickets, and this is not considered to be purchased with certificates.

There are a lot less bills in other cities, which may be related to their use of everything on industrial coupons, because their industrial coupons are equivalent to universal tickets, and I feel that one ticket is in my hands.

The imperial capital is different. If you buy towel tickets for the imperial capital, you can buy wool tickets and wool tickets. You can clearly distinguish various tickets. This is also because of this, Ye Lin does not charge anything except some important bills.

Of course, there is a ticket that Ye Lin must collect, that is, the national food coupon, because the national food coupon is universal across the country, and only this one ticket is national, and the rest is not.

"Okay, that's fine. That's all. I don't care how much you charge. As long as it's a Maotai liquor ticket from the imperial capital, I will collect it for three yuan each."

In fact, Ye Lin was too worried because in this era, only Emperors had special supply of Moutai. Although other cities also had Moutai, they basically bought bargaining Moutai like the Imperial Capital Department Store.

Even if you have Moutai liquor tickets, you can only buy local state-owned Moutai, which is specially provided for this thing, and only supply it to the imperial capital at this time.

After the uncles left, Ye Lin went back. When he arrived home, Li Ran had almost finished the meal. When he saw him coming back, he said, "Boy, where have you gone?"

"Uh! Mom, are you asking me for something?"

"Did you forget? Have you asked your master to come for dinner?"

Hearing my mother say this, Ye Lin patted his head and said, "Oh, why did I forget this? I'll go now."

Ye Lin did forget it, but he can't blame him for this. First, he was too busy and went to collect tickets on New Year's Eve. Second, his master only came to have a meal a year, so he couldn't think about this every day.

"Go quickly."

"Yes." Ye Lin nodded and ran outside.

Fortunately, Master’s house is not far from here, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome, but it’s okay. You can’t come here today, but tomorrow, too. Ye Lin has already thought about it and can’t let Master come here for a meal a year, and tomorrow it will be the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Ye Lin came to his master's house. Because he was anxious, he didn't knock on the door. He pushed the door open and went in. As soon as he entered, he saw his master sitting there with a big golden sword. When he saw Ye Lin coming in, he was glaring at him with a beard and blowing his beard.

"Master, I'll invite you to dinner at home."

"Boy, I thought you forgot me."

It seems that the master has been waiting for him, waiting for him to come and call, but he can't wait, otherwise he wouldn't have looked at him and stared at him.

"That's right, Master, isn't cooking late today? So I'll come here to call you later."

Hearing Ye Lin say this, Old Man Li's face improved a little, he stood up and said, "Take that bag of things, let's go."
