Chapter 66 Director Liu of the Bakery Factory asks for prices at Xidan Market

After dinner, Li Jiayi took a nap. When he woke up, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was exactly two o'clock.

Then he started to prepare. Although the people in Fuxingmen could not compare with those in other places, he still prepared 350 kilograms of wild boar meat.

This is all we’ll sell in the afternoon. We’ll go back after we’re done.

“Those coming from the south or going to the north, don’t miss it if you pass by.”

“Fresh pork is only one dollar per pound.”

"Little comrade, do you only have pork here?"

"Huh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment.

Yes! Why do you only sell pork? Forget about ducks and geese, but you can also sell chickens!

“For now, there’s only pork.”

"Well, give me a pound! These pigeons and chickens are really hard to buy."

There are chickens for sale in the pigeon market, but not many, and even if they do, they are all roosters.

Yes, no one is willing to sell hens because hens can lay eggs.

In rural areas, everyone likes to call it the Chicken Butt Bank, which is what it means.

As long as the hens keep laying eggs, there will be a steady source of income, and the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar used in the house all come from here.

In this situation, who would be willing to sell the hens? Only when they stop laying eggs would someone sell them.

After the man paid and took the meat away, Li Jiayi continued to shout, "Pork, fresh pork, only one dollar."

"Give me two pounds."

"okay!"

"How much pork do you have here, little comrade?"

Just as one person left and he was about to shout, a middle-aged man in a Zhongshan suit came over and asked.

"There are about 40 kilograms left! How about you take them all?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Yes, I want them all."

"Uh! Do you really want it?" Li Jiayi looked at the middle-aged man in surprise.

"of course."

Since the other party wanted it all, Li Jiayi certainly had to agree. He would sell it to anyone anyway.

And it saves trouble if you sell them all at once.

Next, he took out all the meat from the basket and secretly took a little more.

In the end, it was 43 kilograms. The middle-aged man happily paid for it and said, "If you have more in the future, you can send it to the bakery in the west of the city."

"Are you from the bakery?" Li Jiayi asked in surprise.

"Yes, I'm the canteen manager of the bakery. My last name is Liu. You can just come to me directly when you get to the bakery."

The Chengxi Bakery is not big, with only a few hundred employees, so there is only one canteen, which is easy to find.

Li Jiayi wanted to establish contact with the bakery, but not to sell them meat, but eggs in the space.

Even though bakeries are doing well now, it will probably be difficult to produce bread by next year.

Not only because of the food problem, but also because of the bakery! No matter how difficult the food problem is, there are still raw materials.

But there is one thing that is definitely in difficulty, and that is eggs. If there is not enough food to eat, no one will raise chickens.

Without chickens, there would be no eggs.

We can maintain the relationship with Director Liu, maybe he can be of use later.

Just after four o'clock, the 350 kilograms of meat he had prepared were sold out. He said he would leave as soon as the meat was sold out, so he would definitely not delay.

However, after returning to the city, he did not go directly home, but went to Xidan Market.

Xidan Market is state-owned. You need tickets to buy things here. You need vegetable tickets to buy vegetables and meat tickets to buy meat.

After Li Jiayi arrived here, he went straight to the place where chickens were sold.

The chicken seller was a middle-aged woman. "Auntie, how much are these hens?" Li Jiayi asked.

"One hen, one and a half pounds of meat tickets."

He probably knew the price of chicken, and the reason he came to ask was mainly to see how many meat tickets were needed to buy chicken.

There is a reason why hens are so cheap. In this era, most of the hens are the kind that cannot grow up.

It’s good enough if it can grow to three kilograms at most, and that requires hard work, otherwise it won’t grow to three kilograms at all.

"Auntie, how much is a rooster?"

"Like a cock."

Roosters are much bigger than hens, but they cost the same, which means hens are more valuable.

After figuring out how many meat tickets were needed, Li Jiayi also left Xidan Market.

Because he knew how many meat coupons he would need, he could then set a price for the chicken.

He could directly look at the price of chickens in the pigeon market, but that was useless because the chickens raised in his space were much larger than those sold outside.

A hen weighs about five or six kilograms, and a rooster weighs seven or eight kilograms. Now that we know the price and the meat tickets required, we also know the pricing.

When Li Jiayi returned to the courtyard, he heard people talking about his father buying a bicycle.

Yes, in this day and age, buying a bicycle is indeed a big deal, so it is normal for people to talk about it.

In fact, they were not only talking about his father, but also Liao Kai, because two people in this courtyard bought bicycles today.

I don't know if Liao Kai's behavior can be considered as attracting some firepower.

"Mom, I'm back." Li Jiayi shouted as he entered the East Courtyard.

"You little brat, just come back if you want to. Why are you shouting?" Li Aimin said proudly.

"Uh!"

This made Li Jiayi speechless! It seemed that he could buy a bicycle because of himself! And he also sponsored 50 yuan.

Ye Xin didn't indulge him. She pushed him aside and asked Li Jiayi, "Son is back. Did you have lunch?"

"have eaten."

"It's fine once you eat it. By the way, do you have any tickets? Mom will get you some."

Before Li Jiayi could say anything, Li Aimin curled his lips and said, "This brat probably has more tickets than you, and you're still giving him tickets."

"Shut up, what's your business? I'm happy, what's it to you?"

"Uh!" Li Aimin touched his nose awkwardly and stopped talking.

"Mom, I have the ticket, you don't have to give it to me. If you need any other ticket, you can tell me."

"No, we have the tickets at home. You can't make a mistake."

Li Aimin muttered at this time: "This kid is smarter than a monkey, how could he make a mistake?"

Not only Li Jiayi heard this, but Ye Xin also heard it. She turned around and glared at him, then ignored him.

"Son, if you are short of tickets, tell mom. You must eat outside and don't starve yourself."

"I know, mom. Don't worry! I won't starve myself."

"Ah That's good."

"By the way, Dad, when I came back, I heard people in the courtyard say that you bought a bicycle. How come I didn't see it?"

Li Jiayi looked around the entire yard, but didn't see any bicycle. The same was true for Liao Kai.

"Hehehe, I pushed the bicycle into the house. It's a Phoenix 28-inch bicycle. It's so beautiful."

Li Jiayi was speechless! Is it really necessary? It's not dark yet! We can't push it into the house after dark!
Although he was mentally prepared, Li Jiayi was still surprised when he arrived at the main hall.

Because my dad actually nailed two wooden sticks on the wall and hung the bicycle on it.
