60s: I have a store

Chapter 1: Magical Shop
"I crossed?"

Zhou Yimin looked confused as he looked at the home which was full of the atmosphere of the times.

He never thought that he would travel to the current era silently just by working overtime.

It turns out that working overtime doesn't do any good.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yimin digested the original owner's memory and was stunned again.

The original owner is also called Zhou Yimin, 18 years old this year, and is currently a logistics purchaser at a steel plant, having just started work a few days ago. His mother died when he was very young, and his father ran away not long ago.

Yes! He ran away, with the widow.

However, Zhou Yimin did not hate his father.

They raised him to this age, not only left him two houses and a huge sum of 1000 yuan, but also arranged a job for him and even found him a partner.

What more?

As a father, I gave everything I should have given.

In addition, he has grandparents living in the countryside.

According to the original owner's plan, he was going to take his grandparents to live in Sijiu City. As far as he knew, life in the countryside was very difficult now, and all the wild vegetables had been dug up. He was worried that the elderly would not live well in the countryside.

Zhou Yimin turned his attention to a store in his mind.

That's right! He also has a golden finger for traveling through time - a store. This is also the most important reason why he is not panicking at all.

The store is not big, like a small supermarket, and the goods are all daily necessities, including food and daily necessities, with clear prices. For example, a bag of 10 jin of flour costs 1 yuan, a bag of 10 jin of rice also costs 1 yuan, and a piece of cloth costs 30 yuan...

Zhou Yimin frowned slightly, because this was not much cheaper than in reality.

At present, the price of fine flour in the capital is 1 cents per pound, the price of ordinary rice is 8 cents, and the price of good rice is 1 cents...

Of course, you need tickets to buy anything now, so you can’t just have money.

In addition, now is a difficult period, with serious shortage of supplies, and even if you have money, you can't buy food. On the black market, the price of food has already doubled.

He suddenly noticed that there was a 1-yuan flash sale area in the lower right corner of the store, and his eyes immediately lit up.

There are only two items in today’s 1 yuan flash sale area: flour and eggs.

100 jin each.

You read that right, with just 1 yuan, you can buy 100 kilograms of flour or 100 kilograms of eggs.

What are you waiting for?
Zhou Yimin subconsciously bought it with one click.

The next moment, he was embarrassed.

The store reminded him that his balance was insufficient and the current balance was 0.

Zhou Yimin was anxious: What should I do?
How did the balance increase? Did he top up? He remembered that he still had 1000 yuan left by his father, so he quickly took it out. Soon, the store prompted whether to top up.

Zhou Yimin chose to recharge without hesitation.

Very good, the money arrived in seconds, and the store balance is 1000 yuan.

The recharge ratio is 1:1!

First spend 2 yuan to buy 100 kilograms of flour and 100 kilograms of eggs. The purchased items appear in the store backpack. This backpack is a bit similar to the backpack in the game interface.

I don't know if real objects can be put in it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yimin looked at the table in his home, muttered in his heart, and the table was instantly transferred to his backpack.

Ah!
This……

Zhou Yimin was ecstatic.

A must-have for robbing houses! It will make things much easier in the future.

He studied the store for a while and found that it was already daybreak outside. He had to go to the countryside to buy some food today. In fact, what else was there in the countryside? People were starving to death, so why did he go to the countryside to scrape?

In China, from ancient times to the present, the countryside has always been the one providing the financial support.

After getting up, Zhou Yimin was too lazy to light a fire and planned to go out to eat later. He now lived in a quadrangle courtyard, in the wing room on the left side of the central courtyard, and there was a faucet not far from the door. At this time, someone was already using water to wash.

"Yimin, why are you here so early today?" An elderly lady with a pale face greeted him.

"Second Auntie, good morning! Have you eaten?" Zhou Yimin responded.

Just like in a certain TV series, there are three uncles in their courtyard. The first uncle lives in the front yard and is a doctor at the steel factory; the second uncle lives in the middle yard, opposite Zhou Yimin; the third uncle lives in the back yard and is a sixth-level forger at the steel factory.

However, the three uncles in their courtyard are relatively normal.

The first uncle doesn't use moral blackmail, the second uncle doesn't have a desire for power, and the third uncle is not a calculating person. He usually just helps to deal with some minor conflicts in the hospital.

This also made Zhou Yimin feel relieved.

The second aunt smiled awkwardly. Now every household has no surplus food. What do people who don't work have for breakfast? Only the head of the household has to go to work and eats two or three steamed buns.

"Yimin, do you have any food left at home?"

After hesitating for a moment, the second aunt came over and asked in a low voice.

She felt that Zhou Yimin was alone now, and that he could feed the whole family, so there should be some food left over.

Zhou Yimin smiled and said, "There's still some left, Second Aunt, do you want to borrow some food?"

He asked very directly.

As long as he has the ability, Zhou Yimin will help anyone in their hospital who needs help.

Unlike a certain TV drama that ruins one's worldview, the residents in their courtyard are all good and united. When Zhou Yimin was young, he ate at many different houses and was taken care of by everyone.

Their courtyard house is truly a courtyard full of love.

The second aunt shook her head: "Although my family is in trouble, we can still hold on. Old Xu's family ran out of food yesterday. Yimin, if you can, please help his family!"

She has three children and one elderly person in her family. Although they are not full, especially the three children, who have to wake up in the middle of the night to drink water due to hunger, they can still barely survive.

The Xu family next door, with two elderly people and a widow with two children, has a really difficult life.

Originally, the Xu family was quite wealthy. Old Xu's son was a truck driver with good benefits. But as the saying goes, the son of Old Xu got into a car accident.

Now, the Xu family is entirely supported by the widow, how can they have enough to eat?

Zhou Yimin nodded.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he carried ten or so pounds of corn flour from his home and walked towards Old Xu's house.

He couldn't get used to cornmeal as it irritated his throat, so he just gave it to others, killing two birds with one stone.

Cornmeal in this era is made from corn and corn cobs, which is not very tasty. But even so, many families now do not have enough cornmeal.

"Grandma Xu, are you sewing shoe soles again?"

When I arrived at Xu's house, I saw a kind-looking old lady sewing shoe soles.

"Sewing shoe soles" was the name used in the old days to make the soles of cloth shoes. Chinese women of this era all paid great attention to needlework, and when the girls were eleven or twelve years old, their mothers would teach them step by step how to cut shoe patterns, embroider shoe flowers, sew shoe soles, make shoe uppers, etc.

The old lady was obviously malnourished. When she saw that the person coming was Zhou Yimin, she said, "Is that you Yimin? Is your work going well recently? Your dad is the same. If you want to find a companion, you don't need to go with anyone!"

Zhou Yimin waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about him anymore. Grandma Xu, please make me a pair too. I'll exchange them for corn flour."

Having said that, he put down the flour in his hand, turned around and left without caring whether the other party agreed or not.

Old Mrs. Xu looked at the bag of corn flour, her hands trembling slightly.

"Good boy, really good boy..."

Her family really needs food. Since yesterday, the old man and his daughter-in-law have been going everywhere to get food, but no one is well off now!

Who would exchange surplus food for shoe soles?

It was obvious that Yimin couldn't bear to see her family go hungry, so he came to help.
