Chapter 151 Old cow eats young grass

After returning to the room, Li Jiayi quickly took off his clothes. There was no other way because the room was too hot.

He still wore an autumn shirt on top and a pair of pants on the bottom, then fell on the bed to rest.

Who says running around outside every day won’t make you tired?

Doesn't he seem to be running around outside every day? He is really tired! Not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally.

After resting for about ten minutes, Li Jiayi came down from upstairs, picked up a large enamel pot and made a pot of tea.

Although Lingquan water tastes good, it tastes even better when combined with Lingcha.

Anyway, he has fallen in love with this spiritual tea and drinks it almost every day.

To him, it was a hundred times more powerful than any juice.

"Brother, pour me some." The second sister came over with an enamel pot and said.

"Ok!"

Li Jiayi picked up the large enamel pot and filled it up for her. This large pot could fill at least five or six small pots.

After having a warm dinner with his family and taking a sauna in the evening, Li Jiayi went back to his room to sleep.

Silent all night.

The next morning after breakfast, Li Jiayi ran out of the house as soon as his parents left.

The weather is nice today and the sun is rising high.

The ground was covered with snow, and it would have been even better if there hadn't been the whistling breeze.

Although the sun was shining brightly, the breeze on my face felt like being cut by a knife.

There is no way, this is how the imperial capital is, there are two winds throughout the year, one blowing from spring to autumn, and the other from autumn to spring.

It will stop for a while in the middle, but unfortunately it only lasts for a few days at most, and then it will start again with the next one.

Fortunately, the wind was not particularly strong today, otherwise it would not be a whistling sound, but the howling of ghosts and wolves.

That's right, it was the howling of ghosts and wolves. The snow changed the terrain, and when the wind blew, the sound was also different due to the different terrain.

It's actually the same principle as whistling.

Li Jiayi first stopped the sled, then took out a hood and put it on. He did this not because he was afraid of being recognized, but to keep warm.

With today's wind, if he didn't wear a hood, his face would probably be cracked by the time he got there.

Yes, Li Jiayi did not go to the military compound first because the agreed time was ten o'clock.

It's not even eight o'clock yet, so it's useless even if he goes there. No one will answer the door, and he can't get in at all.

So he just took this time to buy something.

Last time I went to a consignment shop, there were several good items in there, plus a couple of really nice watches.

Now that I have money in my hand, I'm ready to take it down.

Soon Li Jiayi drove the sled to the front door.

And that commission shop was right here, a commission shop covering a large area.

Parking the sled directly to the right side of the door, Li Jiayi took off his hood and walked inside.

As for the sled, there is no need to worry about it. With Asheng and the other three around, basically no one would dare to go forward.

Because the goal was clear, Li Jiayi did not hesitate and went straight to the goal.

First he came to the place where watches were sold, pointed at three watches and said, "I want these three watches."

Of these three watches, two are Patek Philippe and one is Vacheron Constantin.

These three watches are old, but they are in very good condition.

There is not even a bump on it, and as for scratches, they are basically minor friction during wear.

This must have been brought back by people who went abroad before, and now they need money to sell it.

The most important thing is that the prices are not expensive. The most expensive one is a Patek Philippe, which costs 500 yuan.

The other Patek Philippe is four hundred, but the Vacheron Constantin is four hundred and thirty.

This was nothing to Li Jiayi, he just issued a ticket and won the prize.

As for bargaining, forget it. When buying things in a consignment store, the prices are fixed and there is no room for bargaining.

I took the ticket to pay, got it stamped, and then came to pick up the watch. It only took about ten minutes.

Three of the world's top-notch watches in later generations now came into his hands. Even if he doesn't wear them, he can collect them!

Next, Li Jiayi came to the antiques again. The few things he liked last time were still there. In fact, the things here were not that easy to sell.

Especially antiques, who would spend money to buy this stuff at this time! It's not suitable for eating or drinking.

Of course, there are also popular goods in the commission shops, such as bicycles, sewing machines, and radios.

Watches are also in short supply, but only domestically produced watches are available. The main reason is that domestically produced watches are cheap, and some people don’t know much about foreign watches. The prices are so expensive, what if they get cheated?

Of course, some people also think that the reason why these foreign watches are so expensive is because they are brought back from abroad, and the actual price is similar to that of domestic watches.

In this case, spending five or six times, or even more times, to buy it is not cost-effective at all.

"Give me a receipt for this bottle and this inkstone."

The bottle is a plum vase. Li Jiayi doesn’t know its exact value, but it is very beautiful.

Moreover, the price set by the commissioning store is not low, it is one hundred and twenty yuan. However, since the commissioning store set the price at one hundred and twenty, it means that this plum vase is very good.

The inkstone is cheaper, priced at eighty-five yuan. These two antiques are not even as expensive as a watch.

This also made Li Jiayi speechless. He was sure that in another fifty or sixty years, the value of these two antiques would definitely be much higher than the watch. He issued the invoice again, paid the money, and then took the plum vase and inkstone.

He glanced at the time and it was only half past eight, so Li Jiayi did not leave and started walking around the commissioned store again.

As for taking out his pocket watch to check the time, he certainly wouldn't do that anywhere else, but this is a commission shop!
Moreover, he just bought three foreign watches here, and two antiques, including a pocket watch which was not very normal.

The place was very big and since he had no destination, he just wandered around aimlessly and soon came to a place selling radios.

Unfortunately, there are only a few radios that look rather shabby.

But you're right, this thing is in short supply! Many commission shops don't even have old ones.

After just a look, Li Jiayi left and went to the next place.

The next place was where bicycles were sold. Li Jiayi took a look and was surprised to see that there were actually quite a few bicycles.

To his surprise, there was a new bicycle inside.

That’s right, it’s a new bicycle. Looking at the wheels, it’s clear that it’s never even been ridden.

"Hello, how much is this bicycle?" Li Jiayi asked, pointing at the new bicycle.

"Two hundred and two."

"Two hundred and twenty?" Li Jiayi looked at the salesperson in surprise.

“Yes, it’s a new bike.”

"Sister saleswoman, how can you sell a new bicycle here, and it has a stamp on it?"

“Who told you that if the stamp is broken it’s not a new bicycle anymore?”

Li Jiayi was speechless. If the stamp was smashed, it meant it had been sold, and things that had been sold were old.

It’s just like buying a car in later generations. Even if it hasn’t been registered, as long as you pay the money and drive the car out of the 4S store, it is a used car.

If you want to sell it, don't even think about it without losing tens of thousands of dollars, or even more.

"I just bought this and then it snowed heavily. I haven't ridden it since. Now I need money, so I'm selling it."

"That's also an old car! At the very least, it's a second-hand car. This is a Phoenix, right? A new car would only cost over 180 yuan, but they're selling it for 220 yuan."

"You kid, you don't need a ticket to buy a bicycle!"

How could Li Jiayi not know this? Although there is no specific price for bicycle tickets, the pigeon market has value!

If you take the value of the ticket into account, the price is indeed not expensive, but don’t forget that people who can afford to buy a new bicycle will still be short of these few dozen dollars.

It's not nice to say it out loud! One is second-hand, even if it's new, it's still second-hand.

One is that it is brand new, which makes you feel proud when you talk about it.

Only people who are short of money will buy a second-hand bicycle, but it is basically impossible to ask such a person to spend more than 200 yuan to buy one.

So don't be fooled by the fact that this is a new bike, it's not an easy sell.

Rather than saying that Li Jiayi was shopping in the store, it would be more accurate to say that he was here to take shelter from the wind, or to kill time.

It was not until half past nine that Li Jiayi came out of the commissioned store and drove the sled to the military compound.

After about ten minutes, he arrived at a place not far from the military compound. Because he had to enter the compound, he put both the sled and Ah Sheng into the space.

Li Jiayi was holding several large oil-paper bags in his hands, and his schoolbag was also bulging. He was standing on the curb opposite the compound.

After just a few minutes, he saw a tall old man coming out.

Who else could it be but Lao Li?

Several soldiers on guard saw him and quickly stood at attention and saluted, and Lao Li also saluted in return.

Then he saw Li Jiayi standing opposite him and waved to him.

When Li Jiayi came over, Old Li said to the guard, "This is my relative who came to see me."

"Okay, Chief."

"Let's go!" Old Li turned and said to Li Jiayi.

He had thought he would check it out, but he didn't.

In fact, he was overthinking it. If he was an adult, he would check the things he brought, but he was just a little kid.

Also, Lao Li said that he was his relative, so what's the problem? If they don't believe Li Jiayi, how can they not believe Lao Li?

All the houses in this compound are two-story buildings, which should be the so-called general's buildings.

You can’t see much from the outside, but after you come in, you will find that there are quite a lot of houses here.

There are five or six buildings in a row, and there are more than ten rows in total, and Mr. Li’s house is a little further back.

The two men soon arrived at the door of Lao Li's house, and at this time a very beautiful middle-aged woman came out of the house.

The middle-aged woman glanced at Lao Li and said, "Is this the kid you were talking about?"

"Yes!" Old Li nodded.

"Hello, aunt!"

"Hello."

Li Jiayi turned around and looked at Lao Li and said, "Didn't you say you got married late? It's too late when your daughter is already this old?"

"What the hell are you looking at? This is our Lao Li's wife."

"What! Lao Li, you are an old cow eating young grass!"
