Chapter 152 A flower stuck in cow dung
Chapter 152 A flower stuck in cow dung
"Pfft!" Old Li's wife couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little bastard! What do you mean by old cows eat young grass?"
"Why, isn't it? You are so old and dazzling. Compared with auntie, you are just an old cow eating young grass."
Before Lao Li could lose his temper, Lao Li's wife said with a smile: "Lao Li, your kid is quite interesting, come in first."
"His ass is funny, he's smarter than a monkey when he's covered in fur."
Maybe she had never seen Lao Li suffer a setback! Lao Li's wife thought it was very interesting and the smile on her face never stopped.
After entering the house, Li Jiayi quickly handed over the things in his hand and said, "Auntie, this is my first visit to your house. Please accept this as a small gift."
"You kid, just come if you want to. What else do you want to bring?"
Li Jiayi really wanted to say that it was Lao Li who asked him to bring it, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
"Just bring it here and keep it. When you see how much it is later, just give it to him."
"Oh! Okay." Old Li's wife nodded.
Watching Old Li's wife carrying things to the kitchen, Li Jiayi shook his head and said, "Alas, it's really like a flower stuck in cow dung."
"You're not done yet, are you?" Old Li glared at him.
Li Jiayi shrugged and said, "I'm just telling the truth."
"I don't want to hear your honest truth."
Li Jiayi spread his hands and said, "Well, these days, no one listens to the truth."
"you……"
Seeing Old Li like this, Li Jiayi was really worried that his blood pressure would rise.
But I feel very happy in my heart.
At this moment, Lao Li's wife hurried into the living room and said, "Lao Li, come here."
"what's wrong?"
"Come here first."
Old Li turned around and said to Li Jiayi, "Sit down for a while. I'll go over and take a look."
"Ok!"
Old Li didn't know what was going on, but Li Jiayi knew very well that it was probably because he brought too many things.
Ten pounds of pork, ten pounds of pork fat, and a big goose.
You have to know that even Lao Li has a fixed amount of food. Although it is more than that of ordinary people, it is not much more. He can hardly eat meat a few times a month.
The things Li Jiayi brought were equivalent to their family's ration for several months.
Yes, it was for several months, mainly because Mr. Li and his wife had a larger quota.
If it were ordinary people, with the same population, they wouldn't have so much quota in a year!
When you reach a certain level, the quantity is also given according to the level.
In the kitchen, as soon as Lao Li came in, his wife pointed at a few opened oil paper packages and said, "Look, there is so much meat and a large piece of pork fat."
Old Li was also surprised, but still said: "This kid is right, he really has some skills."
"Old Li, what do you mean by this?"
"I'll tell you about this later. I'm going to go out first. You put these things away."
"Do you really want so many things?" asked Mr. Li's wife.
"I say, Xiaotian, it's already been delivered to you, why don't you refuse it? Besides, can't you just give him the money later?"
"OK then!"
Soon Lao Li came out of the kitchen. When he sat down on the sofa, he was stunned.
Because there were two net bags on the coffee table, one filled with apples and the other filled with peaches.
Looking at Li Jiayi again, his schoolbag, which was originally bulging, is now deflated.
What season is it now? He actually saw peaches. He has seen and even eaten apples, but this is the first time for Lao Li to see peaches in this season.
"This...did you bring this?" Old Li asked, pointing at the apples and peaches on the coffee table.
"Is there anyone else coming besides me?" Li Jiayi spread his hands.
Lao Li held his breath for a long time before finally saying, "You're really capable."
"Old Li, why can't I see your son?" Li Jiayi asked at this time.
"The eldest is lying in bed, and the second one is out playing."
Needless to say, this boss is the young man in the tweed coat.
As for why he was lying in bed, it must have been Lao Li’s doing. He probably wouldn’t be able to get out of bed for ten days or half a month.
The two chatted for a while, and Li Jiayi stood up and said, "It's getting late, I should go back, I'll have plenty of time to come later."
The first time he visited, Li Jiayi didn’t want to stay for dinner. After all, even for Mr. Li, the food ration at home was limited.
"Why are you walking? Wait until you finish your meal."
"No, don't forget I still have to go shopping. Maybe next time!"
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Lao Li did not try to persuade him to stay, but took out three big black tens from his pocket and handed them over.
"Take this money and use it as the money to buy the meat."
"I say, Lao Li, what are you doing? Those are not for sale to you. If you are like this, then I will not come here again."
"Ugh! This..."
"Okay, this is my gift to you. If you want it in the future, you'll have to buy it." "Hahaha, no problem. Old Li is not a messenger."
Before leaving, Li Jiayi gave Lao Li twenty wine tickets, which he had promised him before.
Although it was not as much as what his son exchanged for him, it was enough for him to keep up.
You know, although Lao Li also eats a ration, he has other benefits, such as cigarette tickets, alcohol tickets, and some other tickets.
It can be said that a lot is issued every month.
When he came in, Lao Li had already told him where the service center was, so Li Jiayi went straight there.
Even though there aren’t many people living in this compound, this service center is quite large and has a lot of things in it.
First, Li Jiayi took out two sets of clothing tickets and received two sets of military uniforms, one for men and one for women.
This is a proper military uniform! And it's not just a soldier's uniform, it's a cadre uniform.
Then there are shoes, a pair of men's shoes and two pairs of women's shoes. Whether it's clothes or shoes, all are according to my parents' sizes.
He can't wear these for the time being, so of course they should be given to his parents.
Anyway, these clothes don't have any military rank, so anyone can wear them.
Next, he took out a few special supply tickets and bought some cigarettes and alcohol. He was a child and couldn't afford much, so he just bought a little.
Anyway, there will be plenty of time to come here to buy tickets in the future. Just buy a bunch at a time and use them up slowly.
These are all special supplies! They are not sold outside. Scarcity makes things valuable. They are good things for him.
Li Jiayi carried a box of special wine and six cartons of special cigarettes and left the military compound.
The security guards did not stop him. They were the same security guards as before and knew that he was a relative of Lao Li.
Of course, this is what Lao Li said.
After coming out of the compound, Li Jiayi walked towards home, and not long after walking, he entered an alley.
When he came out again, he had put the cigarettes and alcohol into the space, and took out the small sled.
He originally wanted to go home, but he stopped halfway.
Then he drove the sled towards Fuxingmen.
It was already past eleven in the morning, and it was a bit late to go to Pigeon City at this time, but he went anyway.
When they were almost at Fuxingmen, Li Jiayi found a place to stop and put away the sled and Asheng and the others.
He walked to a state-owned restaurant inside Fuxingmen. Yes, he had no plan to eat in the space today.
Instead of eating the same things in the space every day, it’s good to change the taste occasionally.
He has no shortage of money or tickets, so it doesn't matter if he eats out.
It’s a pity that he is still a little young, otherwise he could eat out every day.
This restaurant is not small and is a state-owned hotel. Although it is almost noon, not many people come here to eat.
It's state-owned! You don't need to worry about whether there are people coming to eat or whether the business is good.
They get the same salary whether business is good or bad.
For the hotel staff, there is no impact at all, as it is state-owned.
Li Jiayi took out the meat coupons, grain coupons and money and went to the cashier.
"I want a braised pork, a plate of spicy and sour potato shreds, and a bowl of rice."
What he wanted were all the ones available at that time. For example, he didn't order any vegetables because they were simply not available.
This was Li Jiayi's first time to eat at such a state-owned restaurant, so he didn't know how many meat coupons, grain coupons and money he would need.
Just put the money, bills, etc. on the counter and let the cashier take it yourself.
The cashier looked at Li Jiayi in surprise, took out some bills from the pile, and placed the order with the kitchen.
Li Jiayi found a place to sit down and wait.
A big restaurant is a big restaurant, and the process is very fast. When the braised pork was served, he knew that it was not freshly made.
Braised pork is not like other dishes, it is impossible to make it so quickly.
The semi-finished products are definitely prepared in advance, and they can be processed quickly when customers order them.
After all, braised pork is the most popular dish in restaurants, especially in this era. Anyone who comes to a restaurant to eat must order this dish.
It’s true, Wendao is pretty good, a little bit inferior to Liao Kai’s, but it’s definitely the most delicious braised pork Li Jiayi has ever had outside.
After eating and drinking, it was already past twelve o'clock, and Li Jiayi walked out of Fuxingmen.
And soon we entered a forest. Maybe because the trees were large and dense, the snow in this forest was not particularly thick.
But even so, the thickness reached his thighs. Anyway, he just wanted to find a place to rest, so it didn't matter.
Li Jiayi entered the space after finding a spot behind a big tree. He had just finished his meal and was suffering from a lack of blood supply to his brain.
It also made him a little sleepy, so he drank some spiritual spring water and then lay down on the bed.
Maybe because he had just finished his meal, he fell asleep soon.
When he woke up, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon, which was a bit late. There was nothing he could do because it was winter!
The days are short, with daylight around seven in the morning and darkness around five in the evening.
It's half past two now, which means he can only sell for more than an hour before going home, otherwise he will be back late.
Actually, it’s okay to go home late, but my family will be worried!
We took out the big sled directly from the woods and harnessed Asheng and the others on it.
The snow was very thick for Li Jiayi, reaching up to his thighs, but for Asheng and the others, it was nothing.
