Chapter 156 You Can't Keep This Son
Chapter 156 You Can't Keep This Son
"Well, let the Street Office take advantage of you."
"Hey, Director Xu, let's not talk about this. The meat has been weighed and you can take it away anytime. As for the money, it doesn't matter if it's a day earlier or later."
"No, you have to count the boars in person. It's the same if you buy wild boars from hunters."
"Well, then! You decide."
Director Xu turned around and looked at Officer Niu and said, "Xiao Niu, send the pork back and get the money and come here right away."
"Yes, Director."
"Go!"
After Secretary Niu left, Director Xu said something to Li Jiayi, then went back into the room to chat with Ye Xin.
Li Jiayi came outside and said to the onlookers: "We can't finish all the pork at home, so I plan to sell some to everyone. If you want, you can come and buy it. The price is 1.5 yuan per pound."
"One dollar and fifty cents! That's too expensive! Pigeons are only one dollar per pound in the market." Shen Yongcai said at this time.
Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you think it's too expensive, don't buy it. You can go to the pigeon market and buy one yuan per pound."
"One dollar and fifty cents, right? Give me five pounds." A middle-aged man walked out and said.
Li Jiayi glanced at the middle-aged man and felt that he looked familiar, but he didn't know him. He thought he was from the nearby yard.
Li Jiayi was slaughtering a pig in the yard. People far away didn't know about it, but the news had spread to the nearby yards.
I must have come here to watch the fun. I happened to not be working today, so while I was watching the fun, I saw if I could buy some to take back.
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Liao Kai glanced at Li Jiayi.
Of course he knew that the middle-aged man was not from the hospital, and he knew him because he was also an employee of the woolen mill.
It was because he knew this that he looked at Li Jiayi, wondering whether Li Jiayi would sell it to someone from another courtyard.
He also understood what Liao Kai meant and nodded to him.
Seeing him nod, Liao Kai quickly said to the middle-aged man: "Old Wang, come here and I will weigh it for you."
"Okay, thank you, Master Liao."
"You're welcome. It doesn't matter who I sell it to!"
"I want two pounds too."
"I want three pounds."
"Give me five pounds too."
Li Jiayi took a look and found that those who were shouting to buy meat were from the outer courtyard.
As for the people in this hospital, they were all hesitating.
They also wanted to buy it, but the price Li Jiayi mentioned was too high. They were from the same courtyard, so it should be cheaper.
Unfortunately, Li Jiayi would not indulge them at all, so it was impossible to buy them at a low price.
Although we live in the same courtyard, we are not as good as those in the other courtyards!
He didn't know the character of these people from other colleges because it had nothing to do with him and they didn't have much in common.
But the fact that they didn't even bargain and just bought it directly made them better than the people in our hospital.
“Uncle Liao, no matter who it is, as long as they buy, we will sell until they are sold out.”
"Okay, I see."
"I'll take ten pounds too."
At this moment, a voice came from the crowd in this hospital.
Everyone took a look and realized it was Hai Dafu.
There were too many wolves and too little meat! Soon there was not much meat left on the board. Except for Hai Dafu who bought ten kilograms, no one else in the hospital bought any.
Basically, all the pork was bought by people from nearby yards. Seeing that there was not much pork left, some people suddenly became anxious.
"Give me two pounds too."
"I want two pounds too."
Soon only two strips of pork that had been cut were left on the board.
"I want two pounds." Shen Yongcai came up and said.
"Sorry, there's no more." Liao Kai shook his head and said.
"Aren't there still two big strips?" Shen Yongcai said, pointing at the meat on the board.
"This is what Jiayi left for the people who helped. They've been busy all morning, and we can't let them go back empty-handed!"
"There are still pig heads and offal and stuff like that! Why not just give them some of them?"
"Shen Yongcai, why is your face so big? Can I give you a spanking and then rub it for you?" Li Aimin stood up and asked him.
"I……"
"What do you mean? Go do what you should do. You did it long ago." Li Aimin didn't give him any face.
He has no face either. He used to be a big shot, but now he is nothing. It seems that no one in the courtyard still takes him seriously.
Li Aimin's words made Shen Yongcai's face darken, but unfortunately Li Aimin didn't even look at him.
This made Shen Yongcai very uncomfortable, and he could only turn around and walk home with a gloomy face.
As for the other people in our hospital who didn't buy meat, they all regretted not buying some in advance.
Everyone knows that pork in Pigeon City sells for one yuan per pound, but no one in this hospital has ever bought it.
This was of course what Li Jiayi did on purpose. He went to the pigeon market outside Deshengmen to sell meat and never went until Sunday.
The same is true even when going to other pigeon markets. People who can go to pigeon markets during working hours either have no jobs or are idle.
They have no jobs and are idle. These people basically have problems with their identities or are the old people.
Of course, those who can’t find a job are another matter, but basically everyone in their hospital has a formal job!
Even those who do not have a formal job are responsible for cleaning in the street office.
Looking at these people in the yard, Li Jiayi shook his head.
I don't know if this is what they deserve. They thought that they had to give them a discount just because they were from the same courtyard. How could it be so easy? After everyone in the courtyard left, Li Jiayi picked up two pieces of meat, handed them to Liao Kai's two apprentices and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Take this meat back and eat it."
"No, no, no, we can't have this."
The reason why the two people didn't dare to take it was mainly because it was too much. This piece must be at least four or five kilograms.
Not to mention one dollar and fifty cents per pound, even if it's one dollar per pound, that's still four or five dollars!
And this is pork! It’s something you can’t buy with money.
"Okay, I'll give it to you. Just take it. We've been busy all morning, so I won't keep you for dinner. Take it back and eat with your family!" Liao Kai said at this time.
"Master, we..."
"Take it and get out of here."
"Oh!"
Liao Kai's two apprentices quickly took it and ran outside.
It seems that both of them are still very afraid of Liao Kai.
"Sure, Uncle Liao, you have a good way of teaching people."
"Go, go, go away! We still have to clean up here, don't get your clothes dirty."
The meat has been sold, but there is still a lot to do, such as the pig intestines need to be cleaned.
In addition, the pig's head needs to be cleaned up, at least the hair needs to be cleaned, otherwise how can it be braised?
"Okay, you and my dad can take your time to clean up! I'm going to go back and rest."
"Brother Li, you can't keep this son of yours anymore. He doesn't do any work and needs to go back to rest."
After Li Jiayi left, Liao Kai said to Li Aimin.
"What's the matter? You want me to give it up so you can keep it, right? I'm telling you, there's no way."
Li Aimin was not a rigid person either. The two of them joked while they worked.
"To be honest, Brother Li, if I had a son like this, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
Li Aimin smiled and said, "Didn't you just say you couldn't have it? What's the matter? Do you really want to snatch it from me?"
Liao Kai shrugged and said, "I would like to, but Jiayi will definitely not agree!"
"Hahaha, of course. No one can take my son away from me."
The two of them were chatting and laughing, and they packed up their things much faster.
When Li Jiayi returned to the room, Director Xu was still chatting with Ye Xin.
"Aunt Xu." Li Jiayi hurried over to say hello.
"Have all the pork been sold?" Director Xu asked.
"Well! They're all sold out, but that's not enough! Many people in the hospital haven't bought any."
"Many people didn't buy it? That's impossible! There are only a few families in the courtyard! Even if each family buys five kilograms, it should be enough!"
Li Jiayi spread his hands and said, "I can't help it. People in the hospital said that I sold it too expensively and wanted me to sell it at a lower price. But people in other hospitals didn't think it was too expensive and bought a lot of it, so it wasn't enough."
"Humph, some people just like to take advantage of small gains, but unfortunately they are the ones who suffer in the end."
"There's nothing we can do about it, that's just how people are." Li Jiayi spread his hands.
"You deserve it if you can't buy it. Don't worry about them. Just take care of yourself." Director Xu said.
"Don't worry Aunt Xu, I can take care of myself."
"Ok!"
"Aunt Xu, please talk to my mom. I'll go upstairs and take a rest. I didn't expect that killing a pig would be so tiring."
Hearing him say this, Ye Xin shook her head speechlessly. Director Xu didn't know, so didn't she know?
This kid just transported the pigs back. All the big and small tasks were done by others. He did nothing except talking.
But Director Xu didn't know that! He thought he was really tired, so he quickly said, "Okay, go up and have a rest! Officer Niu will bring the money over later, and I'll give it directly to your mother."
"Well! Then I'll go up to Aunt Xu."
"Go!"
Li Jiayi quickly went upstairs, took off his clothes and lay down on the bed.
"Oh, it's still so comfortable in bed!" Li Jiayi said with emotion after lying down.
Everyone knows that bed is comfortable, but few people lie in bed all day long.
Because everyone needs to make a living! Lying in bed is comfortable, but being hungry is even more uncomfortable.
He took out a cup of spiritual spring water from the space and drank it, then took out a peach and started eating it.
He had just eaten halfway when the door was pushed open. He thought it was his mother sending him the money for the pork.
But when he turned around, he saw that it was not his second sister who had come up to him, staring at the half peach in his hand.
"Brother, didn't you say there were no more peaches? What did you eat?"
"Oh! You are talking about this! Isn't this an apple?" Li Jiayi said, raising half a peach in his hand.
"You...your apples look like this?"
"Yes! I called it an apple, so it is an apple."
The second sister looked at him with gritted teeth, then pounced on him and snatched the half peach from Li Jiayi's hand.
"Brother, let me taste your apple."
Li Jiayi is also in tears! I don't know if this is considered shooting himself in the foot.
He told people that his apple was from an apple, and it was not wrong for people to taste it and see what this apple, which was different from an apple, tasted like!
