Li Ran's face improved a lot when she heard that Ye Lin had gone to Pigeon Market. Li Ran could forgive Ye Lin for whatever he did, but there was one thing he couldn't do, and that was stealing. She thought Ye Lin had done something bad.

"How much does this cost?"

"Thirty-five cents."

"That's not expensive."

Li Ran is a teacher. Although he teaches Chinese, he is still good at arithmetic. He doesn’t use notebooks or food stamps. Thirty-five cents a pound is indeed not expensive, or even very cheap.

"That's not right! Where did you get so much money?"

"Mom, I know this." Ye Qi said from the side.

"you know?"

"Well, I heard from people in the yard that my brother made a lot of money some time ago, at least dozens of dollars."

The adults in the courtyard didn't know about Ye Lin selling clips, but the children still knew about it. There were no secrets between children. If the boys knew, the girls would also know. If the girls knew, then Ye Qi would also know.

Just know it.

"What, dozens?"

In this day and age, dozens of dollars is a lot of money. Don't forget that Ye Lin was only ten years old, and he had such a big sum of money. Not to mention in this day and age, even in future generations.

Let’s not talk about the purchasing power of this era. To give a very simple example, in this era, five yuan can enable a person to live very well a month. In future generations, will a thousand yuan enable a person to live very well a month?

Absolutely not. So, compared with the money of later generations, the difference is at least two hundred times. What is the concept of tens of dollars? That is equivalent to thousands or tens of thousands in later generations. Even in later generations, let a teenage boy

It is also very irrational for a child to have tens of thousands of dollars.

"Well, dozens of them."

After receiving Ye Qi's confirmed answer, Li Ran spread his hands and said to Ye Lin: "Bring it here."

Seeing his mother like this, Ye Lin said with a sad face: "Mom, can't you let me keep some?"

"No, what do you, a kid, do with so much money?"

"Okay then." Ye Lin had no choice but to pretend and took out more than thirty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Li Ran.

"that's it?"

"That's it. I'm going to buy noodles and chicken for the rest."

"Chicken? What chicken?"

"That's not it." Ye Lin pointed at the paper bag.

Li Ran quickly went over and opened the paper package. It was indeed a chicken inside, but it was already killed. You could just chop it up and put it in the pot.

"You brat, you are really spending money lavishly. If this little money is put in your hands, it will probably be spent in a short time." Li Ran put the money away and rubbed Ye Lin's head.

.

It's a pity that she didn't know that her son is now a small rich man. This more than thirty yuan is only one-tenth of her son's income today. If she wanted to know, I don't know what she would think.

"Okay, Mom is going to make chicken stew for you. We'll have chicken for lunch today."

After Li Ran left, Ye Lin said to Ye Qi: "Traitor."

Ye Qi made a face at him, stuck out his tongue, and did not pick up Ye Lin's problem. This made Ye Lin helpless. He knew that his sister loved him very much and loved him even more, but on some issues of principle,

She is still...

We had stewed chicken for lunch. Although there were not so many seasonings in this era, the stewed chicken was particularly fragrant, at least more fragrant than what Ye Lin had eaten in his previous life. Of course, it might also have something to do with the space.

"Son, how much did this chicken cost?"

"One dollar and five."

"One dollar and a half? My son, are you stupid? One dollar and a half can buy a pound of fat. If you refine the oil, it will be enough for our family for half a year."

Of course, the fat meat that Li Ran mentioned is not bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, but bought outside. The meat in the supply and marketing cooperative is 45.1 kilogram, but you need a meat ticket. If you don't have a meat ticket, you can only go to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Buy meat tickets.

The price of a pound of meat stamps is 50 cents, which adds up to almost one yuan. Of course, this is something only wealthy people do. Like ordinary families, they will not go out to buy meat stamps, because every family has

There is a ration, although not much.

The meat from the supply and marketing cooperative plus the meat stamps costs about one yuan per pound, but it is all fat and lean. It is impossible to buy full fat. In this era, fat meat is more expensive than lean meat. Even if it is expensive, it is only one and a half yuan.

I can buy a pound.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about the oil, I'll take care of it."

"You? You solve it? How do you solve it?"

"Buy it, otherwise how can we solve it?" Ye Lin spread his hands.

"Bring it here." Li Ran stretched out his hand in front of Ye Lin.

"What?" Ye Lin didn't know why.

"Money! Okay, you bastard, you're still hiding your personal money."

Hearing what Li Ran said, Ye Lin said with a sad face: "It's really gone. I don't believe you searched for it." Ye Lin opened all the pockets that could hold money and let Li Ran see.

"Then you say buy it." Li Ran gave Ye Lin a roll of his eyes and said, "How can you buy it if you don't have money?"

"There is no money to be made."

"Make money! You?"

"What's wrong with making money? Don't forget, the money I gave you just now and the two thousand yuan yesterday were all earned by me, and it didn't take long."

"Well!"

Ye Lin's words made Li Ran stunned for a moment. It was really true when he thought about it. His son seemed to have changed a lot in this period of time. He had been working for ten years and he still hadn't saved two thousand yuan. How could he?

Earn it in a day.

"Hey, monster monkey, come out of my son's body quickly." Li Ran pinched an orchid finger and pointed at Ye Lin and said.

Ye Lin gave Li Ran a roll of his eyes and said, "Mom, have you read too much Journey to the West?"

"Hey, you also know Journey to the West?"

"Mom, my brother has a lot of comic books about Journey to the West, and I have read them too." Ye Qi said beside him.

"Oh." Li Ran nodded.

Li Ran didn't care about Ye Lin buying comic books. As long as Ye Lin didn't do bad things and bought some food and fun, she wouldn't say anything.

"It's delicious. It would be great if I could eat chicken every day." Ye Qi said while eating.

"What are you thinking about?" Li Ran hit Ye Qi on the head with chopsticks.

"It's not impossible. Don't worry, sister. It's not possible now. After a while, I will let you eat meat every day."

There is a reason why Ye Lin said this. There is still a pig pen in his space that is not used. Once the pig pen is used, he can satisfy his sister's request, but he also knows that this matter is not that easy.

.

It’s no problem to get some chickens, ducks, and even geese, but pigs are not easy to get, and there is no place to get them. Some people still raise chickens, ducks, and geese secretly, but no one will raise pigs secretly, because there are no

Feed them with things.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, don't worry, there will come a time."

After dinner, my mother Li Ran left with her sister Ye Qi, and Ye Lin was the only one at home. Not long after my mother and the others left, Ye Lin also left.

In the afternoon, Ye Lin did not go to Deshengmen again, but went to Fuchengmen. About one kilometer outside Fuchengmen, there is also a pigeon market, and it is one of the four major pigeon markets in the imperial capital.

The location was near the intersection of Fuchengmenwai Street and Zhanzhan Road in later generations. Of course, at this time, it was also a wasteland. The reason why Ye Lin came here was because he had already gone to Deshengmen in the morning.

He wants to give people a habit, a habit of when he is there and when he is not. Ye Lin has already thought about it, not only today, but also in the future. He will go to Deshengmen every morning and Fuchengmen in the afternoon.

In fact, Ye Lin should have gone to Jianguomen. No matter in later generations or in this era, the wealth distribution in the four directions of the imperial capital is always first in the north, second in the east, third in the west, and last in the south.

But Ye Lin did not go to the east, but chose the west. The main reason was that the east was closer to his home, and he did not want his acquaintances to see it. Making a fortune quietly was what Ye Lin wanted.

"Don't miss it if you're passing by. Take a look." Ye Lin shouted again after setting up the stall.

Like Deshengmen here, a group of people gathered around it at first, but they left after Ye Lin set up the stall.

"Look, what do you want?" Ye Lin asked proactively when a middle-aged woman came to his stall.

"You really don't want tickets here?"

"Yes, no votes required."

"Then bring me two carp."

"good."

The carp sold here in Ye Lin are all about the same size, about three kilograms, more is nothing more, less is nothing less, they all look the same, so there is no need to pick and choose.

After paying the money, the middle-aged woman asked: "Will you still sell here in the future?"

"Yes, I will come here every afternoon from now on."
