Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 22 Buying a pack of cigarettes makes things easier
  The tractor is still too far away for him now, so it's better to get a gun first.

Lu Jiansheng was walking on the streets of the county town. In his previous life, after the death of Bai Ruoxi's mother and daughter, he had stayed in the county town for a while. Although it was a long time ago, there were still some impressions in his mind.

He did not go to the county purchasing station or the state-owned hotel at the first time, but walked towards an alley in the north of the county.

Not long after entering the alley, he saw a young man in his twenties at the other exit of the alley. This young man had a thin face, but he looked particularly energetic, especially with his big eyes.

At this moment, he was walking around, seeming to be looking around, but he was dressed very strangely. He was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and a large black cloth coat with many patches on the outside. He looked very bloated.
  “I didn’t expect that I found the right place.”

Lu Jiansheng couldn't help but smile when he saw the familiar figure of the young man. His name was Li Jun, a cigarette dealer. Lu Jiansheng knew Li Jun in his previous life.

Of course, the two had no friendship. It was said that they had conflicts when Lu Jiansheng was wandering in the county. However, later Li Jun was caught for speculation and ate peanuts. After that, Lu Jiansheng also left the county.

Lu Jiansheng didn't come to him to look for trouble. After all, Li Jun was quite pitiful when he thought about it. He was a shrewd person who met people and prepared dishes, and he was also a bold person. After all, he had eaten peanuts. If he had been born a few years later, he would have Maybe there will be some success.

Of course, Lu Jiansheng didn't come to help him, he just came to buy cigarettes. After all, in the 1980s, the social atmosphere was still very strong, and most of the buyers in the buying stations these days were very cool.

Although they cannot directly price your goods, they can determine the price of your goods.

Lu Jiansheng came to Li Jun because purchasing cigarettes in this era also requires quotas, and cigarettes these days are not cheap for ordinary people. Generally, farmers like him who came from rural areas have their backs to the loess and their backs to the sky. .

Although Lu Jiansheng was not afraid of trouble, he did not want to suffer in vain.

"Brother, did someone introduce you to buy cigarettes? I don't want cigarette tickets here."

If the buyers at the buying station don't like you, they may find fault with you to lower the price or grade...

You must know that there is no uniform price for the same wild animal fur, and not every animal skin is perfect. Some skins are slightly damaged or even mutilated when they are cut. This is normal, and the price will also vary. Then it floats up and down,

Lu Jiansheng bought cigarettes just to facilitate his work, but no matter where he came from, of course he chose the ones that were cheap and free of tickets.

If it's hot, one bite will make your lungs hurt.

If you want to smoke, you basically have to take a tobacco rod made of bamboo roots and stuff a little native tobacco into it.

These days it’s a human society,

Buying a pack of cigarettes makes things easier.

"Li Jun!" Lu Jiansheng shouted as he looked at a picture of a sneaky Li Jun.

What's more, Lu Jiansheng will have to deal with the purchasing stations frequently in the future. If he carries a pack of cigarettes, he may be able to avoid a lot of trouble.

Cigarettes are a high-end product.
  One pack won't last long, so who would be willing to give it up? Even if she is willing to give it up, if the mother-in-law finds out, she will definitely be scolded!

Hearing Lu Jiansheng's shouts, Li Jun was visibly nervous and wanted to run away. However, he relaxed after noticing that Lu Jiansheng had been dressed as an ordinary person throughout his life and there were patches on his worn-out cotton-padded jacket.

Li Jun didn't doubt how Lu Jiansheng knew his name. Their business was speculative and they would go to jail if caught. They were usually introduced by acquaintances, so it was not surprising to know his name.

"If you want cigarette tickets, you won't sell them dressed like this." Lu Jiansheng couldn't help but joke.

"Cough~cough, the cigarettes here are much cheaper than those in state-owned stores." Li Jun couldn't help but smile awkwardly. "What kind of cigarettes do you have here?" Lu Jiansheng asked immediately.

"Brother, you'll know just by looking at it." I saw Li Jun approaching Lu Jiansheng, carefully unscrewing his black coat, and suddenly rows of cigarettes were hanging inside the black coat.

"Big iron bridge, economy cigarettes, grape cigarettes, tractor brand, welcome, Hongta Mountain...peonies, welcome spring, and even a pack of Little China."

Lu Jiansheng knew that cigarette dealers like them could get some cigarettes from all over the world, but he didn't expect them to be so comprehensive. It is estimated that these cigarettes accounted for most of Li Jun's net worth.

"How about brother? I have the most complete range of goods in the entire county. If I don't have it here, I dare say you won't be able to find it anywhere else in the city." Li Jun said with a proud look on his face.

"Brother, what kind of cigarette do you want?" He then asked more politely.

I have to say that Li Jun is a good businessman, and he is called "Big Brother" very kindly. Of course, if you think that he is always polite to everyone he meets, you are totally wrong.

Lu Jiansheng didn't care about this, he asked casually:

"What's the price?"

"Like Economy cigarettes and Big Iron Bridge, a pack costs eight or nine cents. These two are the most popular and are easy to smoke!"

While introducing, Li Jun glanced at Lu Jiansheng. Seeing that he was indifferent, he was surprised and continued the introduction:
  "The harvest brand costs 23 cents, the Spring Festival brand costs 28 cents...the peony brand costs 37 cents, and the Little China brand costs 58 cents."

“This price is much cheaper than in state-owned stores!”

Lu Jiansheng's heart moved. You must know that life was difficult in the 1980s, and cigarettes were a luxury product. At that time, it was still popular to smoke Zhonghua at the provincial level and Peony at the municipal level! Ordinary cadres smoke to welcome the Spring Festival, ordinary workers smoke grape cigarettes, housewives smoke to shake hands, and the hard-working old farmers smoke welding cigarettes. It can be seen that smoke divides people into three, six or nine grades.

"Bring me a pack of spring greetings and a pack of peonies!"

Lu Jiansheng sold Wu Guofu a hare last time, and he still had 80 cents left. These two packs of cigarettes were not cheap. Although Lu Jiansheng felt a little pain, some money had to be invested.

"A pack of peonies to welcome the spring? These cigarettes are not cheap. Are you sure you want this?"

Li Jun looked at Lu Jiansheng again and saw that his clothes were all patched. Generally speaking, someone who could afford economic cards would be considered good. Originally, he still had four bamboo leaf cigarettes on him and planned to introduce them when the other party couldn't afford them. .

Do you want to buy Yingchun this time? peony? He also bought two packs at a time, which was the first time he saw it.

"How much??" Seeing the other party in a daze, Lu Jiansheng asked again.

"It's sixty-five cents in total. It's several cents cheaper here than in the state-owned store." Li Jun added hurriedly, fearing that Lu Jiansheng would regret it.

"for you!"

Lu Jiansheng didn't want to say any more nonsense, so he took out the money from his pocket and handed it over.

Li Jun took the money from Lu Jiansheng and handed over two boxes of cigarettes from his body.
