As expected, just like what Ye Lin thought, when he saw Zhai Ying coming back, Li Ran hurried over and asked, "Are you going home?"

"I'm sorry aunt, I..."

"It's okay, your parents are okay?"

"They're pretty good."

"That's good."

After Li Ran finished speaking, he looked behind Zhai Ying, but did not see Ye Lin, and asked, "Where is that little brat?"

"He went to the repair shop."

"This brat." Li Ran shook her head and smiled bitterly.

Now if anyone is saying that her son is stupid, she will be anxious with someone. This kid is too smart and knows that he will be cleaned up when he comes back, so he runs away without even entering the house.

......

Ye Lin really went to the car repair shop. There was no way. He didn't go to the car repair shop at this time.

Because it is working hours now, there is no one in the car repair shop. When Ye Lin came over, Uncle Jiang was enjoying the cool air at the door.

Seeing Ye Lin coming, he quickly stood up and asked, "Ye Lin, why didn't the bicycle sent by the customer yesterday be repaired?"

"When something happened yesterday, Ye Lin didn't come. Did you explain to the customer?"

"Don't worry, they are all old customers, I'll ask them to come and pick them up tomorrow."

"Well, that's it. When they come to pick up the car tomorrow, they will give them one or two yuan cheaper."

"Ah! Ye Lin doesn't need it. If you are one or two cheaper, there will be no profit."

"It's okay. No matter what, we have wasted our time. Even if we lose money, we can only lose money."

"Okay, I understand." Uncle Jiang nodded.

Ye Lin wanted to see how many bicycles there were not repaired, but before he could pass, he remembered something, and then turned around and said to Uncle Jiang, "Uncle Jiang, I still have something to do these days. When you finish your work, you can go and sell food."

"What? Ye Lin, why did this year start so early?"

You should know that every year, it only starts selling after school starts in September, but now it is just June, almost three months ahead of schedule.

"Sell a batch first, and don't sell too much, just sell it until July."

"Okay, I get it."

After Zhai Ying finished the college entrance examination, Ye Lin would have nothing to do, and Zhai Ying could also come to help take a look, so Ye Lin planned to ask Uncle Jiang to sell food for a while.

This is the city, and there is no such thing as not being short of food when food is coming down. The city is short of food all year round.

Especially after the implementation of this year's new policy, food shortage has become even worse.

Before, many things were purchased with the "Imperial Capital Residents' Non-Standard Food Purchase Certificate", and were calculated based on the number of people, that is, no matter adults and children, there is so much food every month.

Now it has become a resident's licence to supply grain with tickets.

Everyone has a formal household registration in the emperor, and each person has a monthly payment of food coupons.

Food coupons are divided into: coarse grain coupons, flour coupons, and rice coupons... The grain quantity varies from person to person according to age.

From three pounds born to babies, six pounds for children, eight pounds for children... to twenty-one pounds for adults.

Among them, flour supply accounts for 20% of the total, rice accounts for 10%. The rest are coarse grains, such as corn flour, dried sweet potatoes, sometimes sorghum noodles, and bright sweet potatoes and other miscellaneous grains.

As the saying goes, half a child eats poorly, and children’s appetite is not smaller than adults, but the amount of food for children is reduced too much. Although the adults have increased a little, there are still more children in a family.

Since it is supplied by tickets, food coupons will naturally become very popular. Now there are no food coupons available in the pigeon market. What should I say? You can’t buy a pound of local food coupons even if you pay 50 cents.

Moreover, the price of food coupons has also changed. In the past, the national food coupons were expensive, but now the local food coupons are expensive.

Because food coupons across the country can only be eaten in restaurants, local food coupons can buy food. Ye Lin heard that one pound of local food coupons can now be sold for one dollar in the pigeon market.

You should know that the wages of workers on the front line of production are only 30% or more than 80% of the monthly salary.

A pound of universal food stamps nationwide was sold for 80 cents, and a pound of local food stamps was sold for 1 yuan and 2 yuan.

Chen Jing is so good at doing business and hasn't received food coupons for several months. Of course, Ye Lin has long stopped her from accepting it.

Since he didn't charge it, of course he was selling it. During this period, Chen Jing helped him sell food stamps a lot.

The price of grain coupons is at this price, and you can imagine the food. In the pigeon market, a pound of flour can be sold for one yuan.

To put it bluntly, it is much more expensive than buying meat with a ticket.

But there is no way, the food you supply can only keep you from starving. If you don’t want to starve, you can only buy it for a lot of money.

However, unless you are too hungry, ordinary people will not buy food. People who can spend a lot of money to buy food coupons and food are all rich people.

To be honest, even Ye Lin did not expect this change. He read many documentary books of this era in later generations, but there was no such thing at all.

The reason why Ye Lin collected so many food coupons was that he thought of using Wen Zhao when he was alive. At that time, everyone fought every day without any production and was short of materials. Unexpectedly, there were still two or three years left, and it was used now, and it was even more expensive than that time.

Not only was it more expensive than that time, but it was not a little expensive. However, when Ye Lin came back, he understood what was going on. It turned out that it was because of the Russians, who just paid off their debts and tightened their belts to pay off their debts.

This made Ye Lin’s impression of the Russians extremely bad, and Ye Lin secretly swore that one day, he would ask the Russians to pay the debt.

Ye Lin is psychologically burdened to make money from ordinary people, but Ye Lin is never ruthless to make money from rich people, so he is planning to let Uncle Jiang put out a batch of white noodles.

As for the price, it is sold at one yuan, five yuan per catty, and the food coupons are sold at one yuan, five yuan, and Ye Lin is much cheaper when he sells at one yuan.

Of course, you can't just sell white flour. Ye Lin thought about it and wanted to sell a batch of sweet potatoes. Now the price of sweet potatoes on the pigeon market has reached 30 cents per catty. To be honest, this makes many ordinary people unable to afford it.

Since April, I have tightened my belt to pay off my debts, the grain has been rising. Of course, this is about the pigeon market, and the supply and marketing cooperatives are still the same as the original price.

But now when you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy food, you need food coupons. If you don’t have food coupons, you won’t sell it to you. No matter who you are, you will recognize the tickets and not the person.

Rather than saying that the price of grain continues to rise, it is better to say that the price of grain coupons continues to rise. Many people can't afford it. Even if you buy the price of grain coupons, you still have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy grain.

In other words, you spend one dollar and fifty cents to buy a pound of white flour grain coupons in the pigeon market, and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy grain, and you have to spend another 100 and 50 cents to buy white flour.

Sweet potatoes are sold to ordinary people. The price cannot be high, but it cannot be too low. Because it is too low, it is easy to cause problems, so Ye Lin is planning to ask Uncle Jiang to sell for 20 cents per pound.

Now, this price is definitely a conscientious price. He also wants to sell it cheaply, but he always has to leave a way out for others. It is not easy for anyone, and the same is true for those who buy and sell.

The most important thing is that Ye Lin has a limited number, so the impact on the entire imperial capital is not very big.

"Boss, boss, help!" At this moment, one of Ye Lin's younger brothers Qi Bin ran over on his bicycle.

Qi Bin is not the younger brothers from the nearby slums. He is the younger brother who has helped Ye Lin sell things before.

"What do you mean, you are so popular?" Ye Lin frowned.

Qi Bin glanced at Uncle Jiang, and because he wanted to say something, Ye Lin could not understand, so he said, "Uncle Jiang is his own person, so he can say whatever he has."

"Well, it's such a boss. I'll get me another 200 kilograms of local food coupons and ask for a free coupon."

"I said, why do you want so many white flour food coupons?"

"Someone wants it."

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll get it for you."

Ye Lin now has more than 20 younger brothers who help him sell food stamps, including Chen Jing. Of course, selling food stamps is by the way, so they still help Ye Lin sell peanuts, melon seeds and jerky meat.

"Thank you, boss, you're so nice."

"Get out." Ye Lin waited for Qi Bin disgustingly.

"Uh!" Qi Bin immediately covered his mouth.

Uncle Jiang saw Qi Bin like this, and patted him on the shoulder and said, "You kid, it's better not to mess with him these two days, otherwise you won't discuss it."

"Ah! Uncle Jiang, what's wrong with the boss?"

"I don't know, you're sure you're careful anyway."

"I understand, thank you Uncle Jiang."

"Well, okay, can you drink water? I'll pour some for you."

"No, Uncle Jiang."

"That's OK."

Ye Lin soon came out of the house, held a few tickets in his hand, and handed them to Qi Bin and said, "This is three hundred kilograms of white noodles. I'll ask me for it after I've sold it. You can get out."

"Uh, OK, boss, I'll get out now."

Ye Lin didn't ask him for money first. The food coupons are too expensive now. Three hundred kilograms are only a few hundred yuan. Qi Bin can't bring so much money when he comes out. He will naturally send it to him when he gives it out next time.

To be honest, Ye Lin doesn’t have many other tickets, but if he wants to talk about food coupons, Ye Lin can’t say how much he wants. He can still take out hundreds of thousands of pounds. Don’t forget that he has collected food coupons for several years.

Later generations Ye Lin saw in a documentary book that in 605, the price of food coupons was 20 cents local food coupons and 25 cents national food coupons, and the price was the same as before the new regulations.

If this is the case, then the most difficult time will be only two years. That is to say, after these 63 and 64 years, the food coupons will return to their original prices, and it may not even be used for two years.

Ye Lin is not very clear about this history, and has never seen it in the book. He doesn't know when it happens, and doesn't know when it will end, so Ye Lin has to sell the food stamps in his hand as soon as possible.

In that case, he can still purchase the food coupons when the price returns to normal.

To be honest, Ye Lin was also a little confused about unknown things, because you don’t know when he will start, let alone when he will end, which makes people feel unsure.
