Chapter 137: Sledding, No Grass Grows

"Sister, I'm going out for a while." After packing up, Li Jiayi said to his eldest sister Li Jiaqi.

"Little brother, why are you going out in such a cold day? Isn't it better to stay at home?"

"I can't stay. By the way, do you have anything you want? I'll bring it back to you later."

Li Jiaqi shook her head and said, "No, I don't need anything."

"Okay then! I'm leaving now."

"Wait!" Second sister Li Jialin stopped him.

"What's the matter, second sister?"

"Brother, why do you only ask your eldest sister and not me?" asked the second sister Li Jialin dissatisfiedly.

"What do I ask you for?"

"Ask me if I want anything!"

Li Jiayi curled his lips and said, "No need to ask, you definitely want everything."

"You...you know it but you don't ask?" the second sister said with a pout.

Li Jiayi spread his hands and said, "I didn't ask because I knew it. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to get what you want."

"I...I, you...you..."

"Okay." The eldest sister Li Jiaqi pulled the second sister.

She was really afraid that the two would fight, but she didn't say anything to Li Jiayi.

Because everyone in the family knows too well what kind of person Li Jialin is, a typical person who is always asking for more.

"Little brother, aren't you going out? Go quickly." The eldest sister said hurriedly.

"Well! Then, big sister, I'm leaving."

"Okay, be careful and come back early." The eldest sister made arrangements.

"Got it. Oh, by the way, big sister, I may not be back at noon, so you can just make something to eat. You don't have to wait for me."

"Ok!"

Li Jiayi did not leave through the main gate, but went through the back door since there were fewer people there.

The main reason was that Li Jiayi didn’t want to see anyone in the yard.

After leaving home, Li Jiayi took Asheng and the other three and ran towards Deshengmen. Halfway through the run, Li Jiayi turned and entered an alley.

When he came out of the alley again, he was sitting on a sled with a very large box on the back.

Ah Sheng was in the lead, with Ah Cai and Ah Quan a little further back on both sides of Ah Sheng. As for the four greyhounds, they were further back.

It's like pulling from both sides.

Although the sled made by Li Jiayi was very large, it looked very easy to pull with seven wolfhounds as big as calves.

Now the usefulness of these seven wolfhounds has come into play. At this time, it can be said that Li Jiayi will be safe no matter where he goes.

No one could look at these seven wolfhounds without being afraid.

The most important thing is that the seven of them are very smart. I don’t know if it’s because of the spiritual spring water, but their IQs are definitely not lower than those of ten-year-old children.

Of course, Li Jiayi is an exception. Although he is also ten years old, he has lived two lives!

In a flash, Li Jiayi arrived at the pigeon market outside Deshengmen.

The current Dove City is at least two feet higher than before because there is snow underneath.

It was very easy to sled on it, and it was even not necessary for Asheng and the others to put in much effort.

Looking at Li Jiayi again, he was wearing a hood on his head, revealing only his two eyes, and he was also wearing a locomotive hat outside the hood.

The reason for wearing it like this is not only because I don’t want to be recognized, but mainly to keep warm.

It was fine when walking, but when I was sitting on the sled and running, the wind on my face felt like it was being cut by a knife.

After putting on the hood, this problem is solved, and you can also cover your face to prevent others from recognizing you.

It can be said that it accomplishes multiple things with one stone.

There aren't many people in the pigeon market, and most of them are city dwellers.

This is normal. Under the current circumstances, it is impossible for people from the rural areas to come here.

However, it doesn’t matter to Li Jiayi whether there are many or few people, because he is not here to buy things, he is here to sell things.

The fact that there are fewer people selling things is actually beneficial to him.

Li Jiayi found a random place for Ah Sheng and the others to stop and opened the big wooden box behind him.

"Don't miss it if you pass by. Fresh pork is one dollar a pound."

Normally at this time, even if Li Jiayi sold it for 1.5 yuan, people would rush to buy it, but he still sold it for 1 yuan.

When he first came in, everyone stayed away from him for fear of being bitten by his dog.

But now when they heard him selling pork, they all gathered around him. Of course, there was still no one around Asheng and the others.

"Comrade, give me five pounds."

"I want five pounds too."

"I'll take two pounds."

"Everyone line up, come one by one, don't worry, everyone can buy it."

The big wooden box on Li Jiayi's sled is huge! It is 1.5 meters long, 1.2 meters wide, and 1 meter high.

Of course, it was empty on the way here. It was only when Ah Sheng and the others stopped just now and he opened the box that he put the pork in.

Otherwise, with so much pork, even if Asheng and the others were very strong, it would probably be difficult for them to carry it.

Because there are few people selling things, or even no people at all, Li Jiayi's business is very good.

Soon everyone lined up and came one by one to trade.

"Everyone who has national grain coupons, sugar coupons, and non-staple food coupons can also use them to exchange for meat. One pound of sugar coupons can be exchanged for one pound of meat, four pounds of national grain coupons can be exchanged for one pound of meat, and three pounds of non-staple food coupons can be exchanged for two pounds of meat."

"Do you want other tickets?" someone asked.

"I need other tickets, but I'm afraid you don't have them. I also need cigarette and alcohol tickets. Who has them?"

"Uh!" The person who asked him just now stopped talking. Are you kidding? Where did they get the tickets for cigarettes and alcohol?

"Okay, let's start now. How much do you want, comrade?"

"I want five pounds, but I only have two pounds of sugar tickets."

"No problem, just pay for the other three pounds."

"Okay, I want five pounds. Here are two pounds of sugar tickets and three dollars."

Li Jiayi took it, looked at it and found no problem, then he handed over a five-pound piece of pork.

"Next person."

"I want five pounds, too, but I don't have a ticket."

"If you don't have a ticket, then you don't have a ticket. Just use the money."

"Okay, I'll take five pounds."

The pork in the box ate up quickly, but luckily the box was high so he could secretly put some in.

It is true that the box is one meter high, but don't forget that the box is on a sled.

Moreover, people who came to buy meat were lining up, and even if they could see inside the box, they could only see a small part of it.

To be honest, these people who bought meat did not originally come to Pigeon Market with the intention of buying meat.

But when I got here, I found that there were hardly any people selling anything in this pigeon market.

Just at this time Li Jiayi came over and he was selling pork, so everyone came to buy meat.

Li Jiayi was also very happy! He sold more pork in just a short while than he had sold in a whole day before.

There was also a long queue behind. If all these people bought, at least three to four thousand kilograms could be sold.

"Comrade, do you sell any pork fat?" asked an aunt.

"Pig fat! Let me see."

In fact, he didn't take out the pork fat, but since someone wanted it, why not sell it.

The main reason was that there was too much pork fat in his space. You know, he had never sold it before.

As for what his family and Liao Kai asked for, it didn’t count at all.

Soon Li Jiayi picked up a large piece of pig fat and said, "We have pig fat. This piece weighs ten kilograms. Can you take all of it?"

"I can finish it if I can."

"Okay, pork fat is $1.50 a pound, and these are $15."

"Here's the money." The aunt quickly took out two big black tens and handed them over.

As if she was afraid that Li Jiayi would not sell it to her.

In fact, it is normal, pig fat is a good thing! Nowadays, when vegetable oil is not popular, pig fat is definitely in short supply.

And even if there is vegetable oil, people still prefer pork lard because it contains oil and water!
At that time, no one was worried about whether eating lard would make them fat or whether it would be bad for their health.

I took the twenty yuan and gave five yuan in change to the aunt.

"Comrade, do you have any more lard? I want some, too."

When someone asked this question, Li Jiayi thought for a moment and said, "There is still some lard, but not much. As everyone knows, there is not much on a pig."

The bigger and fatter the pig is, the more lard it will produce. A domestic pig weighing more than 100 pounds really does not have much lard.

Fortunately, the pigs in Li Jiayi's space are all very big and fat, and they produce a lot of pig fat.

But he still didn't want to sell so much. Everyone wanted pork fat, so who would he sell the pork to?
No matter how much lard there is, there can still be more pork.

"Then give me five pounds."

"Okay, here are five pounds. Take it."

Pig fat costs 1.5 yuan per pound! But you can sell it for a lot more money.

"Come on, next one."

"I want two pounds of pork and five pounds of pork fat."

"Uh!"

I knew it would be like this. Who wants pork when you have lard?

But it doesn’t matter. He has just said that there is not much pork fat, and he will announce that it is gone when he sees that it is almost used up.

We still have to buy pork when the time comes, otherwise there won’t be any pork left.

Besides, his pork is quite fat! Even if you buy pork, you can still make oil.

It’s just that the oil refined is not as much as lard.

But don't forget that lard is more expensive than pork, and it's only 50 cents more expensive per pound.

Soon, about 300 kilograms of pork fat were sold, and Li Jiayi stopped.

"Sorry, we've sold out the lard. Now we only have pork left."

Although everyone was very disappointed, there was nothing that could be done. If it wasn't there, it was gone. Could you expect others to produce it for you?

It’s true, Li Jiayi could only transform it, but unfortunately it was impossible for them to know it.

Before noon, Li Jiayi calculated that he had sold at least 4,000 kilograms of pork that morning, plus more than 300 kilograms of pork fat.

At this time, no one was buying pork because there were not many people in the Pigeon Market.

Those who bought pork and lard from that business had already gone home.

Li Jiayi also covered the wooden box and asked Asheng and the others to pull the sled out.

Of course, I wasn’t going home, but I was planning to go buy something. You know, I exchanged a lot of tickets today.

National food coupons can be saved for later use, but sugar coupons and non-staple food coupons have a time limit.

It’s better to use this thing as soon as possible. Even if you don’t eat it now, you can put it in the space and eat it later.

Since there was a sled, Li Jiayi went to a supply and marketing cooperative that was farther away.

This supply and marketing cooperative is located in Jiaodaokou Street, which is quite far from Xinjiekou and Deshengmen.
