“Uncle, don’t be surprised. I’ve been strong since I was a child. If I didn’t have this ability, I wouldn’t dare to hunt wild wolves and black bears alone in the mountains.”
Lin Yu said, panting, giving the impression that this was his limit.
It’s not unheard of for people to move objects weighing seven or eight hundred pounds.
During wartime, there were many strong men in our army.
Some pulled Type 92 infantry guns for fifty miles through the mountains, some carried heavy machine guns on forced marches, and some could throw grenades over 150 meters.
It can be said that back then, any farmer could carry a couple of hundred pounds and walk dozens of miles.
“Xiaolin, Uncle is completely convinced. You’re like Chu霸王 reborn. The cauldron that Chu霸王 lifted was only 800 pounds.” Qian Youku said, giving a thumbs-up.
Lin Yu quickly shook his head and said, “Uncle, you’re exaggerating. Chu霸王 lifted a bronze cauldron, which was incredibly heavy.”
“Besides, Chu霸王 lifted the cauldron and walked a hundred paces, while I only moved the wine jar more than twenty meters.”
“We villagers have been practicing martial arts since childhood. Many people in the village can carry a couple of hundred pounds of wild boar and walk dozens of miles through the mountains. This is considered routine.”
Qian Youku nodded, dumbfounded. Good heavens, it wasn’t just this kid who was a freak, but the whole village was!
“By the way, Uncle, I’ll just ask for everything at once. Buy all the things on these receipts from you, and you need to get me some seeds.” Lin Yu handed the stack of receipts to Qian Youku.
Except for the bicycle, watch, grain coupons, and meat coupons, Lin Yu planned to buy everything else.
Qian Youku took the receipts Lin Yu handed him and looked at them.
“Hey, you kid are quite generous. So many good things.”
“Go up front, let Xiao Zhao pack all these things for you. How many seeds do you want and what kind?”
Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, “Grain, vegetables, soybeans, anything you have, give me a little bit. Don’t need too much, just a bit of each will do.”
“Alright, rice, corn, wheat, soybeans, I’ll pack five pounds each for you, enough for one mu of land. The rest of the vegetables and stuff, I’ll just pack two liang.”
Qian Youku nodded and took Lin Yu to the supply and marketing cooperative’s hall.
“You’re probably bringing these to your relatives in the countryside, right? These seeds will be enough for the courtyard.”
Lin Yu nodded and said, “My grandparents, my uncle, they are in the countryside. There’s a small courtyard at home. They like to eat what they plant, so they buy seeds themselves.”
After arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative’s hall, Qian Youku first asked someone to help Lin Yu call two flatbed carts.
Then he helped Lin Yu pack the seeds.
“Zhao Dajie, please help me pack these things,” Lin Yu said as he handed over the receipts.
Zhao Dajie took the receipts and was immediately startled.
“Xiaolin, you want all of this? That’s a lot of money.”
Lin Yu smiled and said, “Yes, I want everything, Dajie. It’s for the factory.”
Zhao Dajie nodded and muttered, “I knew it, there’s no way your own family would buy so many things.”
Five pounds of sugar cubes, two pounds of milk candy, five pounds of pastries.
Ten feet of cotton cloth, ten feet of floral cotton cloth, ten pounds of cotton, ten pounds of soybean oil.
Three packs of Dahongmen cigarettes. Zhao Dajie carefully packed these things for Lin Yu, separating them into different categories.
“Xiaolin, what kind of alcohol do you want?” Zhao Dajie asked, holding the alcohol coupons.
“Dajie, do you have Moutai?”
Zhao Dajie nodded and said, “Yes, we have 1955, 1956, and this year’s Moutai. Which year do you want?”
Lin Yu was stunned. Good heavens, there’s even 1955 Moutai.
In 1955, the Moutai Distillery was officially established. Therefore, 1955 Moutai, due to its unique historical context, scarcity, and collection value, is considered the most valuable year.
Lin Yu quickly asked, “Dajie, how much 1955 Moutai do you have left?”
Zhao Dajie checked the inventory list and said, “There are two boxes left that are unopened, and there are eight bottles left that have been opened, a total of thirty-two bottles. This alcohol doesn’t sell well, we only brought in four boxes to begin with.”
Lin Yu wanted to buy it all, but he didn’t have enough coupons. He could only set his sights on his cheap Uncle, Qian Youku.
“Dajie, I don’t have enough coupons. Wait a bit, Qian Sanshu will be back, I’ll ask him to think of a solution.”
Zhao Dajie was secretly surprised, in just a short time, they were already calling each other uncle.
“No problem, Dajie, I’ll pack Type B alcohol for you first, what do you want?”
Without even thinking, Lin Yu said, “Sister, Fenjiu, Xifeng, Lianhua Bai, five bottles of each.”
Zhao Dajie nodded and swiftly helped Lin Yu bundle the alcohol.
Four bottles in a group, tied tightly with rope.
Just as they were doing this, Qian Youku walked over, carrying a bag.
“Xiaolin, I’ve packed all the seeds you wanted. Do you need anything else?”
Lin Yu’s old face flushed red as he said, “Uncle, I want to buy a few more bottles of Moutai, I don’t have enough coupons.”
Even after saying it, he felt a little embarrassed. Today, he was really taking advantage of every opportunity, wanting to grab every good thing he could get his hands on.
Qian Youku had seen those eight Type A alcohol coupons, how could they not be enough?
“How many are you short? Uncle will make up the difference for you.”
“I’m short twenty-four. It would be even better if I could have more.”
“Cough, cough, cough…” Qian Youku nearly choked on his own saliva.
He stared at Lin Yu angrily for a few minutes before regaining his composure.
“Kid, if you give me another pig, I’ll give you thirty more alcohol coupons. This old man won’t be outdone this time, you agree or not?” Qian Youku said fiercely.
Lin Yu quickly nodded and said, “Agreed, absolutely agreed.”
On the black market, the cheapest Type A alcohol coupons were worth 2.5 yuan each, and they were not easy to buy.
After all, this was not something ordinary people drank. It was the same in the future. Those who could drink Moutai didn’t buy it themselves.
“Uncle, I’ll add five wild rabbits for you.” Lin Yu said. “By the way, Uncle, do you want the wild boar dressed or undressed?”
“Okay, you’re quite considerate.” Qian Youku thought for a moment and said, “Xiaolin, two undressed, and one dressed.”
“To be honest, there are ten or so people watching, we have to give them some, right?”
Lin Yu nodded and said, “Understood, Uncle.”
“Two undressed wild boars, five wild rabbits, I’ll butcher the remaining wild boar for you, consider the innards a gift.”
“You’re a smart kid.” Qian Youku nodded in satisfaction.
Thirty Moutai coupons were valuable, but meat was even more valuable, and it wasn’t easy to buy. And there were still rabbits and innards as gifts.
A wild rabbit was worth two yuan.
