Chapter 138 Procurement, 737 yuan

Chapter 138: Procurement, Yuan
In less than twenty minutes, Asheng and his friends arrived here pulling the sled.

He parked the sled directly in front of the supply and marketing cooperative and walked into the cooperative with a handful of tickets.

"Hello! I'm shopping."

The salesperson was a young girl who looked to be less than 20 years old and must have just started working.

His face wasn't very good at first, but after seeing Li Jiayi, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

This is the advantage of children. Even if you are in a bad mood, your mood will immediately improve when you see this cute little child.

"what are you looking for?"

At this time, Li Jiayi had already taken off his hood, but he was still wearing it when he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. Those who didn't know would think he was planning a robbery.

"Thirteen bottles of Chrysanthemum White, fifteen bottles of Lotus White, fourteen bottles of Moutai..."

"Greater China's Twelve Articles, Daqianmen's Twenty-Three Articles, Hongtashan..."

"Five cans of White Rabbit candy, six barrels of Golden Rooster biscuits, and five pounds of peach cakes."

As Li Jiayi was talking, the salesperson's mouth opened wider and wider. There was nothing he could do because Li Jiayi wanted too many things.

Unfortunately, what she didn't know was that Li Jiayi had only taken out a part of it.

And it was because they were about to expire, but even so, the salesperson still felt incredible.

There were too many, so many that she couldn’t sell them all in a month.

"Are you sure you want to buy these?" the salesperson looked at him and asked.

"Yes, these are the tickets. Please calculate how much they are and I will give you the money."

"Oh! Wait a moment, I'll calculate it for you." After the salesperson said this, he took the abacus and started calculating.

In later generations, few people used abacus, or even knew how to use it.

But in this era, almost everyone can do it, especially salespeople, everyone can do it.

The salesperson quickly calculated the money. It was actually very simple. He just calculated it according to the ticket Li Jiayi took out.

"That's seven hundred and thirty-seven dollars and sixty-two cents."

Hearing this number, Li Jiayi didn't feel anything. He quickly took out a handful of money from his pocket, counted out seventy-four big black tens and handed them over.

"Give me your money."

After getting the change back, several sales clerks began to help Li Jiayi get things.

"Can you carry all these things?" a salesperson came over and asked.

"Sure, just help me get it outside."

"Row."

When several salespeople helped him take the things outside, they saw a sled parked at the door and were all shocked.

Of course, this incredible thing is not because of the sled, this thing can also be seen in the imperial capital.

What made them feel incredible were the seven big wolfhounds. There were seven of them!
It is hard to understand why they raise seven wolfhounds at a time when people are unable to even get enough food.

No wonder he can buy so many things at once. I guess only people like him can afford to raise so many dogs!
"Just pass it to me." Li Jiayi said while standing on the sled.

"Oh! Okay."

There are quite a lot of things, but Li Jiayi's big wooden box is also big! With so many things in it, it doesn't show at all.

After everything was loaded, Li Jiayi drove Asheng and the others towards Jianguomen.

We went to Deshengmen in the morning, but couldn't go there in the afternoon. It's not because we were worried about something happening, but because so many items had been sold in the morning, and there was basically no purchasing power in the afternoon.

That's why he planned to go to Jianguomen.

At this time, there was no one in Pigeon City because it was noon.

Li Jiayi first found a place to stop and put the sled and Asheng and the others into the space.

Then he followed in, he also wanted to eat! It happened that there was no one in the Pigeon City, so he could eat first and even take a nap.

After entering the space, Li Jiayi took out a pig's head from the static space.

The pig tongue was cut into one plate, the pig ears were cut into another plate, and another plate of pig head meat was cut into another plate.

Served with garlic sprouts, garlic seedlings and onions.

Add chili oil and three plates of cold dishes are ready.

Although they are called cold dishes, they are actually all hot. They will remain the same as they were when you put them in the static space.

Then he took out two white flour buns and started eating.

Normally, he should have a bottle of old wine at this time, but he was too young and didn't plan to drink so early.

Although he is small, he is a big eater. He finished two steamed buns and so many dishes in no time.

After finishing the meal, he washed the plates and chopsticks, and made himself a large enamel pot of tea.

He started drinking in the space. After eating and drinking, Li Jiayi returned to the room.

When he woke up, it was already around two o'clock in the afternoon. There were already quite a few people in Pigeon City at this time.

After coming out of the space, we released Ah Sheng and the others, and pulled the sled towards the Pigeon City.

It was just as he thought. There were already a lot of people in Pigeon City. It seemed that there were even more people than at Deshengmen in the morning.

It’s actually normal because many people like to go out shopping in the afternoon.

After finding a place to park the sled, Li Jiayi started shouting.

"Don't miss it if you pass by. Fresh pork is only one dollar a pound. You won't be cheated or fooled."

"Comrade, I'll have two pounds of pork."

“Get in line first.”

With the experience of the morning, he shouted to people to line up before anyone gathered around him. He found that queuing up to sell goods was much faster than selling in a chaotic manner, and it was also less chaotic.

"First of all, if anyone has sugar coupons, national food coupons or non-staple food coupons, they can be exchanged for meat. The price will be calculated according to the price in the pigeon market."

"And this is a good thing."

"Do you want other tickets besides these?" someone asked.

There was no choice but Li Jiayi repeated what he had said in the morning.

The next step is quite simple. I just sell them one by one and leave as I please.

Moreover, he was not planning to sell pork fat in the afternoon. He planned to sell all pork, so he would not sell it even if someone asked.

There’s no way, it’s too troublesome.

Time passed little by little, and when no one bought anymore and it was getting late, he planned to go back.

At this time, not to mention that no one is buying it, he won’t sell it even if someone is willing to buy it.

Because if he delayed any longer, it would be dark, and he didn't plan to go home after dark.

Riding a sled is quite fast. Even in spring and autumn, it takes half an hour to take the bus. I didn’t expect that I could reach Xinjiekou in just 20 minutes by sled.

Before going home, Li Jiayi drove the sled into an alley.

When he came out again, the sled had been put away, including the four greyhounds, and he took Asheng and the other three home.

Of course, he was not empty-handed. He had two bottles of Lianhua Bai, two bottles of Maotai, and more than ten pounds of pork ribs.

These are not the spareribs of this era, but the ones of later generations.

To be honest, I really can’t praise the spare ribs of Li Jiayi this era, because there is basically no meat on them.

The ten or so pounds of ribs that Li Jiayi brought back were not only meaty, but also lean, all with crispy bones.

In addition to these, he also brought back a bucket of Golden Rooster biscuits, two pounds of peach cakes, and a can of White Rabbit milk candy.

Although he said that he would not bring anything for his second sister, how could he not bring anything? It was normal for his second sister to be greedy.

In this day and age, everyone is greedy, even adults are like this, let alone a little girl in her teens.

"Big sister, open the door."

Li Jiayi came back from the back door and was penetrated by his sister from the inside. He could have used the space to open it, but there was no need as there was someone at home.

It's okay once or twice, but you can't always say that the two sisters forgot to lock the door! After a long time, they will definitely get suspicious.

"Here we come." The eldest sister's voice came from the yard.

At this time, my elder sister should be preparing to cook, otherwise she would not have heard me just after I called out.

Soon the eldest sister opened the door, but she was still surprised to see him coming back with so many things.

"Little brother, what are you doing..."

"Sister, this is what I got today, what do you think?"

"You were out for a day, and you came back with so many things?" the eldest sister said in surprise.

Didn’t Li Jiayi say this! These are his gains today. Who wouldn’t be surprised to bring back so many things after going out for a day?
"Yeah! It's nothing to me."

"Come in quickly." The eldest sister pulled him into the yard, as if she was afraid of being seen by others.

"There's no one outside. Who would be stupid enough to stay outside in such a cold day?" Li Jiayi shook his head and said.

"Here, I'll hold it for you."

"Ok!"

Li Jia handed the ribs to his elder sister and said, "Sister, let's stew the ribs tonight! Stew these too."

"Little brother, do you mean to stew all these ribs?"

"Yes! What's the problem?"

The eldest sister Li Jiaqi smiled bitterly and shook her head and said, "No problem, just stew it if you say so."

Ten pounds of ribs may sound like a lot, but it’s actually not that much. Don’t forget that there are five people in their family.

If a family of five in later generations had so many ribs, they might not be able to finish them, but in this era, they might not be enough.

In later generations, many people would feel full after just a few bites of food, but in this era, even my second sister Li Jialin would eat two bowls of dumplings in one meal.

And it’s not a small bowl. It seems that there are no small bowls nowadays. The bowls are all quite big.

"Then go back to the house and warm up. I'll go cook."

"Yeah!" Li Jia nodded and walked into the house.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw my second sister looking at me with shining eyes.

In fact, she had already seen the things Li Jiayi brought back through the window. The reason she didn't go out was because it was hot in the room and she was wearing very little.

"Brother, are these things for me?"

Li Jiayi curled his lips and said, "What are you thinking? This is for me to eat, there is no share for you."

"What? You're going to eat all this by yourself?"

Li Jiayi looked at her and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"No... no problem. I wonder if my brother could give me some."

Li Jiayi put the things on the eight-immortal table, touched his chin and said, "I can give you some, but you have to help my elder sister cook now."

"can."

"Then go ahead! If you satisfy me, maybe I'll give you more."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the second sister quickly picked up her clothes and said, "I'll go right away. Don't forget what you said."

 PS: Brothers and sisters, please give me some monthly tickets! Thank you!
