Chapter 200: Lijia Village, a Happy Place
Li Jiayi opened the box and took out two pieces of pork, one weighing ten catties and the other weighing five catties.
After taking the meat, the staff member said, "Next time, don't come in the morning. It's better to come at noon when there won't be many people."
"Okay, I understand." Li Jia nodded.
The meat did not belong to him alone, but was shared equally by everyone in the gas station.
So you don’t need to worry about people at the gas station seeing you, but you do need to worry about people coming to refuel seeing you.
So next time if there is no one there, can I just drive the tricycle into the gas station?
"Sure! As long as there's no one refueling, you can drive anywhere you want."
"understood."
After the gas station worker took the meat back, Li Jiayi also left on his tricycle.
With these 40 kilograms of gasoline, I can not only make a trip to my grandparents' house, but also use it for a while.
On the way, Li Jiayi took out his pocket watch and took a look. It was almost nine o'clock, just the right time.
Drive the tricycle to the embassy family quarters, park it, and put out the juice and other things.
Today, Li Jiayi not only put out fruit juice, but also some peanuts.
Let’s not talk about whether anyone will buy it or not, just put it out there first.
"Don't miss the freshly frozen juice and the five-spice peanuts if you pass by."
"Kid, have a glass of juice."
"okay."
"Anything added today?" the foreigner asked while drinking a glass of watermelon juice.
"Yes, I added spiced peanuts. Someone said it was delicious yesterday."
"Spiced peanuts?"
"Yes, fifty cents a bag. You can try it."
The foreigner paid one US dollar for a glass of juice.
Normally, he would finish drinking and leave, but in order to sell peanuts, Li Jiayi took out a bag and handed it over.
“Is this spiced peanuts?”
"Yes."
"I'll try it."
The foreigner put down the cup and opened a bag of peanuts.
He picked up a few grains, put them in his mouth, chewed them, nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad, this tastes good."
"All right!"
"Yes." The foreigner nodded and said, "Give me two more packs, I'll take them back and let my friends try them."
"it is good."
Li Jiayi took out two bags and pushed them over, and the foreigner handed him another US dollar.
At this time, another foreigner came over and said to Li Jiayi: "Give me a glass of juice."
"Just take it." Then he put the money away.
The foreigner picked up a glass of orange juice, drank it in one gulp, and then prepared to leave.
"and many more."
"Kid, what's the matter?"
"Here's a bag of peanuts."
In order to open the five-spice peanuts, Li Jiayi had to give up some small profits.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. This should have been yours."
People gave one dollar and only drank a glass of juice, which meant they had fifty cents left.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye it was noon. Sales were pretty good in the morning.
But I didn't receive any tip today, because Li Jiayi gave a bag of peanuts to everyone who paid one dollar for a glass of juice when they left.
It seems like he has lost money, but only he knows that he has not lost anything at all. If he opens the spiced peanuts, he will make more money in the future.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Jiayi packed up and left.
He drove the tricycle directly to the courtyard and knocked on the door.
"coming."
The little black fat man opened the door while cracking melon seeds.
"I said you are quite leisurely!"
After saying this, Li Jiayi drove the tricycle into the yard.
"Why should I be leisurely? I have already paid for this." The little black fat man said hurriedly.
Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Who told you this?"
"Uh! What are you talking about?"
"It's okay, I brought some food, let's eat first."
"Hmm!" The little black fat boy had been a little hungry, otherwise he wouldn't be here eating melon seeds.
Today's meal was exactly the same as yesterday's, but the little black fat boy enjoyed it very much.
After dinner, Li Jiayi lay on the bed and took a nap.
In a blink of an eye, two days passed. That day was Sunday, and Li Jiayi checked the tricycle early in the morning.
And he went out to deliver some peanuts and melon seeds to the courtyard.
Yes, they are going back to Lijia Village today, not only Li Jiayi and his parents, but also his eldest and second sisters.
After filling up the gas, Li Jiayi began to load things onto the tricycle, starting with a box of wine.
But it wasn’t some good wine like Juhuabai or Moutai, but a box of Erguotou.
Even the boxes used to store wine were nailed together with wood by Li Jiayi.
Of course, there were also good wines, including two bottles each of Dongjiu, Juhuabai and Fenjiu.
In addition to the wine, there was also a piece of bacon and a piece of pickled meat, which were prepared by my mother.
Originally, Li Jiayi wanted to bring fresh meat, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. He thought that even if he brought fresh meat, his grandmother would either pickle it or make it into bacon.
In this case, it is better to bring it directly to save trouble. In addition to these, Li Jiayi also brought a bucket of Golden Chicken Biscuits and a can of White Rabbit Milk Candy.
This was prepared for his two cousins. As for his grandparents, Li Jiayi prepared five-spice peanuts and four large bottles of sesame salt.
There are also sesame paste and sesame oil that my grandma likes.
Of course, Li Jiayi also prepared two cans of peanut oil, using the cans that were used to hold White Rabbit milk candies, one for grandparents and one for my uncle's family.
After everything was packed, the family got on the tricycle. Li Jiayi drove out first, then got off and locked the door.
"Mom and Dad, check if there's anything you haven't brought."
"We've brought everything we need, let's go."
"Yes! Let's go."
The speed of this tricycle is much faster than that of a bus, and there is no need to stop and go on the road.
The most important thing is that Li Jiayi did not follow the bus route.
When he arrived at Shahe Commune, he went straight west without going around to Changping County.
Li Jiayi took Yangfang and headed diagonally towards Liucun Commune, which was a lot shorter! At least ten kilometers closer than going through Changping County.
They didn't stop along the way. When they arrived at Liucun Commune, Li Jiayi took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was not yet ten o'clock.
If you take the bus, you won't even reach Changping County at this time.
Li Jiayi parked his tricycle at the entrance of the Liucun Commune Supply and Marketing Cooperative, turned around and said, "Mom and Dad, wait a moment, I'm going to go buy something."
"Son, you've brought everything, haven't you? What else are you buying?"
"Buy some kerosene and salt, so that uncle doesn't have to run to the commune again."
"Well! Go buy it!"
There is no electricity in Lijia Village, and people light kerosene lamps at night.
Things like oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. are usually bought by my uncle at the commune.
After entering the supply and marketing cooperative's family compound, Li Jiayi said to the salesperson, "Auntie, give me some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar."
Here in the commune, as long as you say oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, the salesperson will know what you are talking about.
The oil in "oil, salt, sauce and vinegar" is not for food, but kerosene for lighting.
You don't need tickets for these, but you do need tickets for cooking oil! We won't sell it to you without a ticket.
"How much?"
"Two catties of kerosene, two catties of salt, and two bottles of soy sauce and vinegar."
"That's one dollar and three cents."
"Here's the money."
Li Jiayi paid the money and the salesperson quickly brought him what he wanted.
"Thank you."
After coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Jiayi put the things on the tricycle and drove towards Lijia Village.
This place is more than ten kilometers away from Lijia Village. If you take a ox cart, it will take at least two hours.
But Li Jiayi is now driving a tricycle, and he can reach the destination in less than half an hour.
This is because the road is not very good, otherwise it wouldn’t take so long.
"Grandma, I'm here." Li Jiayi shouted towards the yard as soon as he stopped the tricycle.
Soon the door opened and grandma appeared before him.
"Oh my grandson! Why are you here at this time? I thought I heard it wrong."
"Grandma, you heard me right. Not only am I here, but my parents, and my oldest and second oldest sisters are here, too."
"Okay, okay, come in quickly."
"Well! Please move aside for a moment. I'll drive the tricycle in."
At this time, Ye Xin got off the tricycle, went over to help the old lady and said, "Mom, let's go in first."
"Hahaha, great!" The old lady clapped Ye Xin's hands and looked very happy.
In fact, the elderly don’t ask for much. They just hope their children will visit them often, and they will be satisfied then.
As for what to bring, they don’t care at all. As long as there is food, it’s fine. The most important thing is that people come.
After my mother helped my grandmother in, Li Jiayi drove the tricycle into the yard.
Only then did my father and my two elder sisters come down.
Li Aimin went over to close the door, and Li Jiayi ran to Li Laogen, who was smiling with his big teeth showing.
"Grandpa, are you okay?"
"Good, very good, feeling healthy and enjoying everything I eat."
"That's good."
"Grandson! Why are you here at this time?"
"Today is Sunday, my parents are on vacation, so I came to visit you and grandma."
"Isn't a week just one day? Won't this delay work?" Grandpa asked worriedly.
"Dad, don't delay. Your grandson got a tricycle that runs faster than the bus. Look, we are here now."
"A tricycle that is faster than a bus?" The old man glanced at the tricycle parked in the yard.
"Yes, Dad, it's this one. It's not powered by pedaling, but by burning oil. It runs very fast." Li Aimin said.
Li Laogen stood up, walked to the tricycle and said, "This is it, it's even faster than a bus."
"Yes, Grandpa. Let's put your things down first and I'll take you out for a walk."
"Okay, okay, I'll also try this tricycle that's faster than the bus."
Li Jiayi hurriedly called his father and his elder and second sisters to move things downstairs.
That's not what they brought!
"Look at you guys, you brought so many things here. You should keep them for yourselves. Your three children are growing up." said the old lady.
"Mom, we still have these things at home, so don't worry." Ye Xin said from the side.
Just at this moment Li Jialin came over with a bucket of Golden Rooster biscuits.
PS: Please give me a monthly ticket and recommendation ticket! Thank you!
