Age: My Small World

Chapter 63 Procurement
The reason he came back was naturally because he had long been eyeing the jade sold at several stalls inside.

Yang Jun has not forgotten what is the most important thing to the small world.

"It's a pity that this is my first time meeting Brother Tiger, so I don't know him very well. Otherwise, if I had asked him to help me collect the jade, it would have been much faster than if I had searched for it slowly on my own."

He quickly dismissed the thought from his mind.

As his biggest secret, the small world must never be exposed, even if it makes him more cautious.

Brother Hu has a lot of people and they might accidentally notice something, so he can't take any risks.

Besides, there are only so many channels for jade nowadays. No matter how powerful Brother Hu is, he can mostly get it from some small retail investors, which is better than nothing.

The dark market will disperse at dawn, and Brother Hu and the others will be back soon, so Yang Jun sped up.

Without hesitation, he bought all the things he had set his eyes on.

Put together, it's actually just a fist-sized piece of jade, and its quality is even worse than the green jade given by Mr. Hu.

But the item didn’t cost much, less than ten dollars.

In addition, Yang Jun also specially bought a lot of hairbands from an old lady's stall, intending to take them back for his elder sisters.

Seeing that it was about to dawn, Yang Jun quickly ran away.

Next, we need to go to the department store again.

Not to mention that the sacks need to be replenished, even if you have money you have to buy some.

The main thing is to buy a watch and a bicycle, which will definitely be more convenient when I go home.

The department store opens at eight o'clock.

It was around seven o'clock when Yang Jun arrived nearby, so he simply found a breakfast shop to eat.

With money and tickets on him, he was no longer afraid of ordering food.

If you just want to have a big meal, you have to wait until noon.

I went into a random place that sold pan-fried dumplings, ordered a plate, and asked for a bowl of soy milk, which cost me 30 cents.

You should know that a bowl of noodles with meat is only three cents.

But Yang Jun himself didn't care about this little money.

He still had more than 690 yuan on him.

I originally had 8 yuan and 1 cent when I entered the city. I spent 5 yuan on sacks and 50 cents on staying in a guesthouse. By the way, a normal single room costs 50 cents, a double room costs 30 cents, a room with multiple people costs 20 cents, and even 10 cents if there are too many people.

The jade cost nine dollars and fifty cents, and the hairband cost two cents.

All in all, he only spent fifteen yuan and twenty cents.

The pan-fried buns are delicious, with a soft and tender skin, juicy inside, and fried crispy on the bottom. The aroma explodes in your mouth when you take a bite.

At this time, if you have a bowl of spicy soup, it will taste even better. Unfortunately, the store uses soy milk, which is salty and quite ordinary.

He only drinks sweet soy milk.

After finishing his meal, Yang Jun paid three cents and two taels of food coupons and headed towards the department store. He needed to queue up early.

In just a short while, a lot of people came to the door of the department store, most of them came to buy meat.

Now that Yang Jun had the meat tickets, he naturally wanted to buy some and store them.

There may be more opportunities to eat meat in the future, but now he has no channels to get large portions of meat. He will have to wait until next time to find Brother Hu's channels. He doesn't have that much time to wait in the provincial capital for him to slowly operate.

Besides, he had to sell his meat coupons as soon as possible, because he would have to bring his grain book to buy next year. By then, the inspection would be too strict, and he would not be able to buy without a grain book.

There were many old ladies and old men waiting in front and behind, and very few young people.

Yang Jun couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

What a pity.

The moment the department store opened, Yang Jun experienced a rush to buy that he had never experienced before.

"Don't push me, you grown man, yet you're taking advantage of me, an old lady!" An old lady squeezed next to Yang Jun and spoke before he could say anything, making Yang Jun very angry.

Auntie, look how happy you are. It’s only right that you take advantage of me.

He followed the crowd helplessly and moved to the meat stall.

Luckily, he arrived early and had a seat near the front, so it wasn't long before it was his turn. "Son, you go first, I'll wait a little longer," the old lady said again.

"I was actually in front of you." Yang Jun was speechless.

Without hesitation, he quickly said to the chef at the stall: "Master, cut me ten pounds of hind leg meat, and another ten pounds of fattier ones."

He handed over all the meat tickets he had exchanged from Brother Hu.

However, Yang Jun's words immediately caused the people behind him to shout: "How can you buy so much by yourself? How can we buy more?"

"Yeah, there's only so much meat. You asked for too much."

The butcher stall did not sell much meat every day, just the amount of one or two pigs, totaling two or three hundred kilograms, and Yang Jun bought almost one-tenth of it.

Most other families only buy a few pounds, but they still have to get up early and queue up, otherwise they will be sold out if they are late.

The prime time is only half an hour.

"I'm sorry, uncles and aunts, I've spent all the meat coupons I've saved for a year, otherwise they'll expire at the end of the year. I'm so sorry."

The current food and meat coupons are actually valid for one year, but starting next year they will expire every month, so his excuse can hold up for the time being.

The woman behind him also chimed in, "The kid's meat coupons are about to expire. What's wrong with buying them all at once? I'm happy for you to buy them, but I can't stand seeing the kid buying them."

The ladies behind him were stunned instantly.

However, someone then laughed and said:
"Mrs. Huang, you're the only one who talks too much nonsense. I'm afraid you're just looking at the boy because he's pretty."

As soon as these words were spoken, laughter broke out everywhere and the tense atmosphere was gone.

"I'm just helping the handsome boy, what's wrong with that?" The old lady's words made Yang Jun feel ashamed.

He had to admit that the women in Shandong Province were really tough.

Fortunately, the chef inside had already happily handed him the cut meat.

"Come, Junwa, the meat you want."

Yang Jun took it with a wry smile: "Thank you, Master."

Just as he was about to leave, he thought for a moment and turned around to thank the old lady.

"Thank you for nothing, I really think you're pretty."

Yang Jun fled in panic, causing everyone to laugh.

After going out and putting away the meat, he did not leave but went back into the building.

This time we went to the department store area.

"Brother Sun?"

Sun Xiuwen's figure appeared.

"Oh, it's you, here to buy sacks again?"

Sun Xiuwen joked.

However, Yang Jun nodded: "Yes, I have to trouble Brother Sun again."

Sun Xiuwen was stunned. She actually bought some. Didn’t she buy a hundred yesterday?

But then he didn't care about it anymore. It didn't matter to him whether they bought more or less.

"Okay then. I have nothing to do right now, so I'll take you there to get it."

"Sorry for the trouble, Brother Sun."

"What's the trouble?" Sun Xiuwen smiled and shook her head.

Following the same steps as yesterday, Yang Jun bought two hundred sacks this time.

He did not rush to move, but asked Aunt Zhao, who collected the money, about the cloth.

There were about twenty meters of cloth coupons, or sixty feet, and he wanted to buy them all.

Being called "sister" by him all the time, the lady at the counter named Zhao was naturally enthusiastic and quickly tore the cloth.
