Chapter 150 Old Li
Chapter 150 Old Li
"Don't worry, I will never let you violate the rules. Look, don't I have a special ticket here? Take me to your compound service center to buy something, and I will return the wine ticket to you. This is not a violation of discipline, right?"
After hearing what Li Jiayi said, the old man thought about it and felt that it did not violate discipline.
After all, the service center only recognizes tickets, not people. No matter who you are, you can't buy anything at the service center without a ticket.
"Of course you can, but you have to exchange so many tickets, can you buy them all at once?"
"Hey, I'm kidding. I want to buy them all at once, but I don't have that much money! I only want to buy a little bit."
Does Li Jiayi have the money to buy all of them at once? Of course he does, but he can't say that to anyone.
Besides, how could he take everything away if he bought them all at once? Even though he had a sled, he couldn’t carry that thing into the compound!
Even if the old man said they were his relatives, it wouldn’t work. The main thing was not the sled, but Ah Sheng and the others.
The sled was nothing, just a pile of wood.
"By the way, old man, it's getting late. How about I treat you to a drink?" Li Jiayi said, looking up at the sky.
"You're buying me a drink?"
"Yes! You help me, so what if I treat you to a drink?" Li Jiayi said indifferently.
"You are a stupid but cunning person. You want to shut me up, right?" the old man asked with his eyes wide open.
"No, no." Li Jiayi quickly waved his hands to deny.
After denying it, he quickly said, "You're not at a disadvantage. Even though you live in a military compound, there are many things I can get that you may not be able to get."
"Oh! What can you get that I can't?" The old man was a little unconvinced.
Li Jiayi smiled and said, "Pork, beef, mutton, donkey meat, as well as chicken, duck and goose."
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the old man looked at him in shock.
Because of the heavy snow, even in their compound, the meat ration was reduced a lot.
And this is just pork. As for beef and donkey meat, he doesn't even dare to think about it.
You know, cows and donkeys are heavy laborers in rural areas! Unless they die accidentally, it is impossible to sell them.
He didn't expect that this little guy would say that he could get these. This really subverted his cognition.
In fact, Li Jiayi said this on purpose. No matter when, interests are the most solid cooperative relationship.
"Can you really get these things?" the old man asked seriously.
"Of course, but it's not too much. A few hundred kilograms at a time is no problem."
"How...how many hundreds of kilograms?" The old man was even more surprised at this time.
He thought that even if Li Jiayi could get it, it would be good to get ten or twenty kilograms. He didn't expect that he could get hundreds of kilograms at a time.
This is not a small amount!
"Yes, a few hundred kilograms is no problem. If you need it, I can send it to you tomorrow."
The old man quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, not for now, but if there is ten or eight kilograms, I still need it."
"Hey, eight or ten kilograms is nothing. How about this, I will be at the gate of your compound at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, you wait for me."
"Okay, can you give me the wine ticket now so I can go back and buy some wine?"
"Drink! I'll give you a bottle. As for the wine ticket, I'll give it to you when we meet tomorrow." After saying that, Li Jiayi took out a bottle of Chrysanthemum White from his schoolbag.
In fact, it was just taken out from the space, but the old man didn't know it! Because Li Jiayi's schoolbag was always bulging.
"No wonder you said you wanted to buy me a drink. How could a kid like you carry wine in his schoolbag when he goes out?"
Li Jiayi shook his head and said, "No, I bought this for my dad. It's in my schoolbag."
Li Jiayi's words made the old man shake his head and said, "You can't compare! You kid even know how to buy wine for your father. My son is a few years older than you, but he still takes things from home, especially his father's cigarette and alcohol tickets."
"Old man, the boys in your courtyard are all the same. If you think this way, you will feel balanced."
"That's true. By the way, don't call me old man. My last name is Li. You can call me Lao Li. What's your name?"
"Hey! Old Li, we were one family five hundred years ago! My last name is Li too, you can call me Xiao Li."
Li Jiayi did not tell him his name. After all, they had just met. If the cooperation went well, he might tell him later.
"Your last name is Li too?" Old Li asked in surprise.
"Yes." Li Jia nodded.
"Hahaha, this is really fate. Okay, I'll wait for you at the gate of the compound at ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Ok!"
Li Jiayi left, driving away on the sled. Looking at his back, Old Li smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Old Li became interested in this mysterious young man.
After leaving Beihai Park, Li Jiayi walked forward for a while and then entered an alley.
When he came out again, the big sled had been replaced by a small sled, and his face was covered.
When he was almost home, he took off his hood and drove the sled into the yard.
He came back quite early, and the factory was still closed at that time.
Of course, he did not come back empty-handed. Every time he went out, he would bring back something.
If you have some at home, take less; if you don’t have any, take more.
It is difficult for others to eat meat once a month, but they eat meat every day. Fortunately, most of the time they eat braised meat which does not smell good.
Otherwise, given the nature of those people in this hospital, they would have started reporting it long ago, even if they saw what Li Jiayi brought back.
Of course, the people mentioned here are actually just those few.
But even so, the reason they did not report it was partly because they knew that Li Jiayi bought it from the Pigeon Market, and partly because they were afraid that Li Jiayi would retaliate against them.
"Li Jiayi, wait a minute."
As soon as I passed through the moon gate from the middle courtyard and entered the backyard, I was stopped by Hai Dafu. "What do you want?"
"Are we going to Pigeon City again?" Hai Dafu asked.
"What does it have to do with you? It's working hours now. Why are you at home instead of staying at the factory?"
"Hey, I just came back today after accompanying the factory leader to a sister company for a few days. The leader asked me to come back and rest."
Li Jiayi didn't pay much attention to Hai Dafu, so he didn't know what he was doing during this period.
"What can I do for you?" Li Jiayi asked with a frown.
"Look, you go to the pigeon market every day and buy meat. How about you give me some of the meat today?"
"No." Li Jiayi shook his head firmly.
"I'll add money."
"Oh! How much do you want to add?"
For Li Jiayi, the meat was as much as he wanted. If Hai Dafu wanted to buy it at the normal price, it would definitely not be possible.
But if he is willing to pay more, it is not impossible to sell him some.
"You said."
"One dollar and five pounds."
"Ah! This is too expensive. Isn't it one yuan per pound in the pigeon market?"
"Yes! Then go to the Pigeon Market and see if you can get one for $1.50."
Although pigeons are sold at one yuan per pound in the market now, they are all sold by him. If he doesn't go, you won't be able to buy them no matter how much money you spend.
Now even the meat processing plants are short of meat, let alone the pigeon market.
Of course Hai Dafu knew that he couldn’t buy it, because he went to the pigeon market today and there was no one selling meat.
Otherwise, he would not have stopped Li Jiayi from dividing the meat, because he knew very well that Li Jiayi would never sell it to him.
After all, Li Jiayi had no good feelings towards him, and even felt a little disgusted with him. He knew this better than anyone else.
"Okay, one dollar and fifty cents is one dollar and fifty cents." Hai Dafu said with concern.
You know, you can buy pork fat for 1.5 yuan, but there is no way, Li Jiayi will not sell it to him for less.
"Here you go. This piece of meat weighs five pounds. Give me seven dollars and fifty cents." Li Jia handed over the meat and said.
This was originally intended for my family, but since we had some left at home, I took less. I didn’t expect that it would be sold to Hai Dafu.
"Here you go." Hai Dafu counted out seven dollars and fifty cents and handed it to Li Jiayi.
He dared not default on his debts, especially those owed by Li Jiayi. Li Aimin would probably make him pee himself out without Li Jiayi even having to retaliate against him.
In fact, Li Jiayi knew very well that Hai Dafu did not buy the meat to eat himself, but to flatter him.
Not to mention one dollar and fifty cents per pound, he would buy it even if it was two dollars.
But he is also a man of principles. He will not sell it for more than 1.5 yuan.
Hai Dafu is a sinister villain! He would feel bad for the 1.5 yuan, but not too bad.
If I sell it to him for two dollars, this guy will definitely take revenge.
He himself is not afraid, but don't forget his parents.
Hai Dafu has a good relationship with some factory leaders. He is very good at making things difficult for others and spreading rumors.
After returning to the yard, Li Jia unloaded the sled, drove Ah Sheng and the others into the east wing, and took out a piece of meat from his schoolbag.
It also weighs five kilograms. It was just taken out of the space and is still warm.
But on such a cold day, the meat was already cold before he even got it into the house. If it stayed there for another two minutes, it would have frozen.
"Brother, are you buying meat again?"
When Li Jiayi returned to the house, his eldest sister Li Jiaqi saw the meat in his hand and came over to ask.
"Yes! It looked good, so I bought it."
"I have a big goose at home! I plan to stew it tonight."
"Big sister, we can eat this meat tomorrow! It doesn't mean we have to finish it today."
"Okay! Give me the meat and I'll put it in the kitchen."
It's too hot in the main room, so there's no way to put meat in it. The kitchen is just right. Although it's a little warm when cooking, it's very cold at other times.
Putting meat in the kitchen is no different than putting it in the freezer.
"Brother, did you bring back anything delicious?" The second sister came over and asked.
"Sister, aren't the delicious foods in my room enough?"
"Uh!" The second sister was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red.
I thought I was doing it very secretly, but I didn't expect my brother already knew about it.
"I say, second sister, next time you come to my room to eat, just eat directly. There's no need to pretend after you finish eating."
"Oh, got it."
Li Jiayi took out a big apple from his schoolbag and handed it to him, saying, "Okay, I'll go up first, you go study!"
Li Jialin happily took the apple and said, "Thank you, brother."
PS: Please give me a monthly ticket and recommendation ticket! Thank you!
