Chapter 185 This is just the beginning

Others might be deceived by Li Jiayi, but Ye Xin would not.

Because she couldn't believe that her son had spent so much effort to make something that could only be looked at but not used.

She knew her son's ability. For others, it was very troublesome to get gasoline, but for her son, it was not a problem at all.

But she would not expose her son, which was better because no one would try to steal the tricycle.

Otherwise, you use it today and he uses it tomorrow, and you can decide whether to refuse or not at that time.

When the novelty wore off, some people left, and in the end only Liao Kai and Li Aimin were still doing research.

Ye Xin quickly prepared the meal. Since Liao Kai was studying the tricycle, he did not cook, so she had to call him to eat together.

Fortunately, Li Jia's family only cooks more and not less, otherwise he wouldn't even have anything to eat.

They were just having a meal, but unexpectedly, the two of them started drinking while eating, which made Li Jiayi speechless.

There's nothing we can do about it. We both love drinking, and although there's only one dish today, it's very good.

After dinner, Li Jiayi went upstairs. As for Li Aimin and Liao Kai who were drinking, he let them drink.

Returning to the room, Li Jiayi locked the door from the inside and entered the space directly.

First, he collected what should be collected and slaughtered what should be slaughtered, and then he went to take a bath.

Silent all night.

Li Jiayi got up from bed early in the morning and started his daily routine of boxing.

After ten times, Li Jiayi washed up, took a shower, changed his clothes, and then came out of the space.

When he came down from upstairs, the meal was ready and he had already washed up, so he sat down and waited for the meal.

Although there are not so many rules in their family, children cannot eat before the adults start eating.

This is just the minimum respect, so it must be followed.

"Let's eat!" Mom gave an order and the family started eating.

Breakfast was simple, so we ate it quickly. After breakfast, my parents rode their bikes to work.

Li Jiayi said something to his elder sister and drove out on his tricycle.

I soon arrived at the place where I had an appointment with the fat black guy. Maybe we arrived a little early, as there was no one there.

Even the little black fat guy didn't come over.

As expected, he arrived early. Twenty minutes later, the fat black boy Guo Detie was the first to come.

Then fifteen or sixteen people came one after another.

"Fatty, come here." Looking at these people, Li Jiayi waved to the fat man.

"what's wrong?"

"Is it reliable?"

"Don't worry, you are absolutely reliable. Now you can tell me how to make some pocket money, right?"

Li Jiayi glanced at him without saying anything. He just opened his schoolbag, took out a few oil-paper bags and handed them over.

"what is this?"

"You'll know if you open it."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the little black fat man quickly opened an oil paper bag, and five-spice peanuts appeared in front of him.

"Peanuts?" The little black fat man looked at Li Jiayi and asked.

"Call them over, have each of them try some, and let them decide for themselves how much this bag of peanuts is worth."

"Huh!" The little black fat boy seemed to understand how to earn pocket money.

"Come here, everyone, try these peanuts." said the little black fat man, holding the peanuts.

When they heard the word peanuts, the boys' eyes lit up.

You should know that peanuts can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

Although the supply and marketing cooperatives sold them, they required tickets, and ordinary families did not have peanut tickets.

Not to mention peanuts, even peanut butter can only be bought one bottle a year, and it is rationed.

Although the families of these teenagers called by the little black fat man were better off, they were still ordinary families overall.

Even the little black fat guy is the same.

Although his father is the workshop director of the meat processing plant, he is only at the section level. If he wants to have certain privileges, he must at least start at the department level!
Even the department level is not enough. Don't forget where this is, this is the imperial capital!
"Delicious, so delicious."

"Mmm! It's really delicious."

After hearing what these young people said, Li Jiayi asked, "Everyone stop for a moment."

Li Jiayi's words made the teenagers stop and turn to look at him.

Li Jiayi pointed at the peanuts in the little black fat man's hand and said, "If it were you, how much would you be willing to pay for a bag of this?"

The teenagers looked back at the oil-paper bag in the little black fat man's hand, which still had a few peanuts left.

"I'm talking about the kind I haven't eaten before, the whole bag."

"It's at least two cents!"

"Two cents is not enough, at least thirty cents."

At this time, Li Jiayi did not speak, but let the teenagers discuss it themselves.

He opened a bag of melon seeds and started eating them.

"Hey, there are some melon seeds?" The little black fat boy saw the melon seeds and came over to grab a few.

"There are melon seeds in those oil paper bags in your hand."

"Oh!"

"Okay, everyone, listen to me. I can provide you with these peanuts and melon seeds. You can sell them, but the price must be the same."

The little black fat man looked as if it was just as he expected.

"Peanuts are 20 cents a bag, I'll give you 18 cents, melon seeds are 10 cents a bag, I'll give you 9 cents."

"Don't think that making one or two cents per bag is too little. If you can sell 100 bags of peanuts and 100 bags of melon seeds every day, you will earn three yuan."

"If you count it this way, do you think it's still too little?"

"Ah! Three dollars a day." These teenagers were shocked by three dollars.

Three dollars a day, ninety dollars a month! This is almost as much as the salary of an eighth-level worker.

"Don't think it's hard to sell 100 bags a day. I'm telling you, this is just the beginning. Once you've been selling for a while, you may be able to sell more than that in a morning."

How to sell things! Find a crowded place and be familiar with it. It's actually very simple.

"So where are we going to sell it?"

"Of course, it's in crowded places, such as movie theaters and streets with heavy traffic."

"Okay, I'll do it." said a young man.

"Okay, come here." Li Jiayi waved to the young man.

The boy came over quickly.

Li Jiayi opened the box at the back of the tricycle and took out two schoolbags.

When making this tricycle, Li Jiayi made three different compartments, and the one with a box is one of them.

Li Jiayi handed the boy two schoolbags and said, "There are sixty bags of peanuts in one bag and sixty bags of melon seeds in the other bag. Take them."

Seeing the two schoolbags, the boy's eyes lit up. He was just worrying about how to pack these things! Unexpectedly, Li Jiayi had already thought of it.

"You don't have to pay me yet. When you're done selling, just give me the money when you come to me for the peanuts and melon seeds."

"Uh-huh!"

"I'll do it too."

"And I."

Soon all twenty schoolbags were distributed, but these twenty schoolbags were only enough for ten people.

Including the little black fat boy, there were seven people who didn't have schoolbags.

"Fatty." Li Jiayi shouted.

"what's wrong?"

Li Jiayi took out 42 yuan and handed it over, saying, "Go to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative and buy 14 more school bags."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Taking the money, the little black fat man ran to the supply and marketing cooperative.

He ran back in less than ten minutes, and then Li Jiayi started putting peanuts and melon seeds into his schoolbag.

Soon, there were seventeen people including the little black fat boy, and each of them carried two schoolbags.

"Li Jiayi, if we have sold out, where can we find you?" asked the little black fat man.

"I was just about to tell you that there is a forest over there in Houhai. I am in the forest. You can find me there."

"Oh, I see."

"Okay, everyone, figure out where to go first. It's best to separate, but I still suggest you go to the cinema first."

Although it was only 1959, there were still many movie theaters in the capital, basically one on every street.

For example, Xinjiekou Cinema, Exhibition Road Cinema, Shichahai Cinema, and Jiaodaokou Cinema.

"Okay, then we'll try it in the cinema first. If it works, we'll sell it in the cinema. If not, we'll go somewhere else."

How could the cinema not be okay? But Li Jiayi didn’t say much.

This also depends on talent. Some people are born to be businessmen, but some people don't know how to do business at all.

It all depends on themselves now, it has nothing to do with him anymore.

If he really isn't cut out for the job, then he has no choice but to find someone else.

"Fatty, why don't you leave?"

Everyone else has left, but the fat guy is still here.

"Li Jiayi, didn't you go to Houhai?"

"Yeah! What's the matter?"

"Hey, hey, I'm going to the Shichahai Cinema. It's just on my way. Can you take me there?"

"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment, looked at the fat man and asked, "You didn't choose the Shichahai Cinema because of this, did you?"

"Yup!"

Li Jiayi smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "You are really good, get in the car!"

Starting the tricycle, Li Jiayi drove towards Shichahai and first sent the little black fat boy to the entrance of the cinema. Then Li Jiayi went to the grove.

The reason why I choose to stay here is mainly because this place is relatively hidden and it is next to Houhai.

Li Jiayi can go fishing to pass the time.

As for whether he could catch fish, Li Jiayi didn't care at all. He was just killing time out of boredom.

Li Jiayi parked the tricycle and locked it. As for the box, it was now empty.

He put all the peanuts and melon seeds in the box into the space.

When someone comes to pick up the goods, just take them out.

Taking out a bamboo chair and a homemade fishing rod from the space, Li Jiayi came to the shore of Houhai.

And this place is less than twenty meters away from his tricycle.

As for Ah Sheng, he followed him step by step and now he was nestling next to him.

He didn't have time to dig for earthworms, so he mixed a small dough with sesame oil in the space.

I pulled off a little and hung it on the hook, then threw it directly into regret.

"Li Jiayi."

Hearing someone calling him, Li Jiayi quickly turned around to look.

"Old cow."

Yes, the one who called him was none other than Lao Niu from the military compound, Lao Li’s neighbor.
