Chapter 70: A middle-aged man who practices boxing, Li Jiayi wants to learn boxing
A silk or summer cloth gown can be altered into a pair of men's and women's trousers. An old-fashioned jacket can be altered into a pair of men's trousers.
Anyway, there are many ways. In the imperial capital, at least people will not be left without clothes to wear.
As for other places, it’s hard to say. Many families with five or six people even have only one pair of pants.
Whoever goes out can wear it, and those who don’t go out can stay in bed.
In fact, it is still relatively good now. By the 1960s, the supply in the imperial capital will be reduced.
By then, people with registered residence in the imperial capital would only have four feet and five inches of cloth coupons for the entire year. What could this amount of cloth be used for? It would only be enough for patching.
So Li Jiayi has already made up his mind that in the next period of time, he will get more cloth coupons.
Even if you don't need it now, you can buy some cloth and put it in the space, and take out some when you need it.
Some people say that since both parents work in a woolen mill, how could they be short of cloth? To be honest, they really were short of cloth.
There is no way. A woolen spinning mill is not a textile mill. It produces wool and woolen materials.
For example, the woolen coats and plush coats worn by senior officials are made of these.
To put it bluntly, this thing is not for ordinary people to wear.
Unless you have a certain status or have a special reason, you dare not wear it.
After checking the harvest, Li Jiayi prepared to go home.
Just then, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties practicing boxing in a relatively secluded place.
The main reason was that the place where Li Jiayi checked the harvest was relatively hidden, so he was able to discover the middle-aged man.
Although he didn't know what kind of punch it was, Li Jiayi could see that it was very powerful.
Since there was an air explosion, if this wasn't amazing, then what else could be amazing? This aroused Li Jiayi's interest.
Although he started exercising since he was young, his physical fitness is much better than other children of the same age.
But without systematic training, you are only slightly better than an ordinary person, which is not very useful.
After he obtained the space, he drank spiritual spring water every day to make his body stronger.
It can be considered as a subtle change of the body! But if you learn real kung fu, wouldn’t it be even more powerful?
So Li Jiayi was not in a hurry to go back and just watched from the side.
Li Jiayi has a strong learning ability, which may be related to the spiritual spring water. Anyway, after watching the middle-aged man play it three times, he remembered it.
But he also knew that remembering was useless, because once a move was thrown, the effect would be different depending on the height of the punch.
He also heard that practicing boxing requires corresponding mantras. Although he doesn't know whether it is true or not, he doesn't want to miss it.
Soon the middle-aged man finished the exercise after six or seven times, turned around and prepared to leave, but he glanced at Li Jiayi when he left.
Li Jiayi thought he had hidden it well enough, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the middle-aged man anyway.
But it’s better this way, since he has discovered me and hasn’t said anything yet, there is hope.
So Li Jiayi came out directly and followed the middle-aged man.
Since he has already discovered me, there is no need to hide anything and just follow me openly.
Soon the middle-aged man came to the gate of a courtyard, pushed it open and went in.
This is a courtyard house with only one entrance, but it covers a large area of almost 400 square meters.
After remembering this place, Li Jiayi turned around and left.
Soon he came to a supply and marketing cooperative, took out cigarette and wine coupons and said, "I want four bottles of Moutai and four packs of Da Zhonghua."
Zhonghua and Greater China are different, and the same is true at this time. A pack of Zhonghua costs 65 cents, while a pack of Greater China costs 75 cents.
Although it's only a dime more expensive, it's a completely different concept, and the quantity in Greater China is extremely small. "Okay, I'll get it for you right away."
Whether it is Moutai or Greater China, neither is available to ordinary people, and Li Jiayi bought four bottles and four cartons at once.
This is definitely not a child from an ordinary family, so the salesperson looked very enthusiastic.
Soon Li Jiayi brought the things he wanted and put them in two net bags.
He paid the money and walked out. He had no choice but to go to another place and was afraid that if he arrived too late the place would be closed.
Fortunately, he arrived not too late. Yes, the place he came to was Fuhuazhai.
"I want two large boxes of Beijing Eight Pieces. How many tickets and how much do they cost?" Li Jiayi asked.
"Eight kilograms of food coupons, twenty-four yuan."
Although he knew it was not cheap, Li Jiayi still gasped when he heard the price.
Eight pounds of food coupons means that this box only weighs four pounds, and four pounds of food costs twelve yuan.
This is several times more expensive than pork! No wonder those who buy these things are those who live in the compound or those who are rich.
For an average person, buying two or three boxes would cost them a month’s salary, not counting the food coupons.
"I want two boxes." After saying that, Li Jiayi took out the food coupons and money.
There's no way. He's just a kid. If he doesn't bring these things out, people will not take him seriously.
Sure enough, when the salesperson saw the food coupons and money, he became much more enthusiastic and quickly helped him get the things.
You can't say that they are snobbish. If anyone comes and asks for this thing, you just give it to them. What if you don't have a food coupon?
Money is easy, as almost anyone who works can afford it, but food coupons are hard to get!
How many people can come up with so many food coupons at once?
After paying the money and handing over the receipt, Li Jiayi left with two large boxes of Beijing Eight Pieces.
Finding a deserted place, Li Jiayi had another piece of pork in his hand. This was not wild boar meat, but domestic pork, and it was pork belly.
It’s not a lot, only about ten pounds, but it is definitely a big gift. How many people can take out so many things at once?
Soon Li Jiayi arrived at the gate of the courtyard where the middle-aged man lived, grabbed the door knocker and knocked three times, then took a step back.
Soon the door opened, and a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old opened it.
The girl was stunned when she saw Li Jia, because she didn't know him at all, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for an uncle who lives here." Li Jiayi didn't know the middle-aged man's name, so he could only say this.
"Uncle?" The girl reacted quickly and knew who the uncle Li Jia was talking about.
"What do you want from my father?"
It turns out that this girl is the middle-aged man’s daughter!
Li Jiayi immediately said, "It's you, Senior Sister! I'm looking for Master to learn Kung Fu."
The girl looked at Li Jiayi in surprise and asked, "You want to learn Kung Fu from my father?"
"Yes, I have prepared all the gifts for becoming a disciple." After saying that, he picked up the things he brought.
He knew that he was a little abrupt, but he was just a child after all! It was normal for children to be a little abrupt.
Not knowing whether the girl did it on purpose, she turned around and shouted inside: "Dad, your apprentice is here to see you."
"Uh!" Li Jiayi touched his nose helplessly.
