Chapter 207 The Hot Pigeon Market, Coach Gong
Chapter 207 The Hot Pigeon Market, Coach Gong
The situation is similar for fine grain coupons, with the price at least doubling.
But at this time, Li Jiayi was also struggling! That is, what is the appropriate price for pork?
He wanted to sell it at the previous price, but that would definitely be breaking the market rules. This might work for a short period of time, but it would definitely not work for a long time.
It is estimated that by then everyone will be targeting him. If that's the case, how can he come to Pigeon City?
Forget it, let's just double it! According to the current situation, it is estimated that many people will buy grain, and not many will buy meat.
Returning to the tricycle, Li Jiayi started the tricycle and drove to an open space in Pigeon City.
He opened the box at the back and shouted, "Don't miss it if you pass by. Fresh pork is only two yuan a pound."
"Pork, two yuan a pound?"
"real or fake?"
"Let's go over and have a look."
Li Jiayi was wrong. At this time, even food could not be bought, let alone pork.
You must know that at any time, people's demand for pork is higher than that for grain.
After all, everyone has food, even if it's a little less, but everyone has meat! Especially pork.
"Young comrade, do you have pork for sale?" a middle-aged woman came over and asked.
"Yes, there is pork." After saying that, Li Jiayi picked up a five-jin piece of pork belly from the box.
"Two dollars a pound."
"Yes." Li Jia nodded.
"Give me five pounds."
"I want five pounds too."
"And me, I'm also five pounds."
Hearing what everyone said, Li Jiayi was a little dumbfounded. Shouldn't he be trying to find a way to buy food at this time? Why did they all come to buy pork, and they wanted five kilograms at once?
In fact, Li Jiayi is right to think so, but it depends on who it is.
For their family, food is definitely more important, after all, they have no shortage of oil and water.
But for ordinary people, pork is more important. Eating steamed corn bread, cornmeal or cornmeal every day without any oil or water will make their bodies weak.
It is more important to eat some meat to supplement nutrition. You should know that the human body will be malnourished without oil and water.
"Okay, okay, everyone line up, come one by one, don't worry, everyone can buy it."
"I want five pounds."
Soon the line was formed, and the first person in line took out a big black ten and handed it over and shouted.
"Okay, here's your five pounds of pork, please." Li Jiayi took the money and handed over the five pounds of pork.
The middle-aged man took the five pounds of pork, weighed it, and left happily.
Seeing how hurried he was, if you didn't know better you would think someone was chasing him.
"I'll take five pounds, too."
"Okay, here's your five pounds of pork."
"Five pounds."
"no problem."
In half an hour, Li Jiayi didn't know how much pork he had sold, nor how much money he had received.
And basically people buy it in batches of five kilograms, and only a very small number of people buy one or two kilograms.
Looking at the long queue behind, Li Jiayi felt a little nervous. He didn't expect that there would be so many people wanting to buy meat!
In fact, this is also his own fault. During this period of time, he has been selling fruit juice and rarely comes to Pigeon Market.
As a result, there has been no pork in the pigeon market for a long time, which has led to the current situation.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that there are no people selling meat in the pigeon market, but others only sell it little by little, and the meat is bought as soon as it appears.
Anyone who can be like him will be like someone who can’t sell out.
Fortunately, when this box was made, it was made very large, much larger than the box on the sled before.
Otherwise it will definitely arouse suspicion.
"Everyone, don't push! Let's go one by one, it will be faster this way."
"Yes, yes, everyone, please don't push."
"Young comrade, you have so much pork here, do you have any pork fat?" asked an aunt.
"I'm sorry, auntie, we don't have any lard."
There is no other way! If he takes out pig fat, I guess everyone behind him will buy this stuff.
In that case, how can pork be sold? After all, the amount of pork fat is much less than that of pork.
"Okay then. I'll have five pounds of pork."
"Okay, take it."
He was busy until noon, yes, noon. He had never sold for so long before.
Watching the last person leave, Li Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he closed the box and was about to leave, two more people came over.
It is obvious that these two people are not ordinary people, at least not ordinary people.
These two men, one is in his forties and the other is in his twenties.
In fact, they had come here a long time ago and had been standing not far away watching until everyone had left.
"Little comrade, do you have any pork left?"
Li Jiayi glanced at them and asked, "How much do you want?"
"We want a bit more."
“How much is a bit too much?”
"Two hundred pounds."
"Puff!" Li Jiayi sprayed out directly.
He thought the other party wanted as much as he wanted! Only 200 kilograms was a bit much.
Five kilograms per person is equivalent to the amount bought by forty people, and it’s still more!
"Why? You don't have it here?"
"Of course I have, but you said you wanted a lot. I thought you wanted a lot. But after all this time, you only got 200 kilograms! I was shocked."
"Uh! Okay!" the middle-aged man said helplessly. "Do you want it now?" Li Jiayi asked.
"Yes, but we can't take away so much meat. Could you please help deliver it?"
"Send it to where?"
"Shichahai Police Station!"
"Shichahai Police Station, are you from the police station?"
"Yes!" the middle-aged man nodded.
"This is our instructor." said the young man.
"Oh! Hello, instructor. The police station should be supplied by the meat processing factory, right? Why do you come out to buy meat?"
The middle-aged man, the instructor, smiled bitterly and said, "You are right, but the supply from the meat processing plant is getting less and less, especially in recent times, it is basically almost non-existent."
"No way! Shouldn't there be a quantity?" Li Jiayi asked doubtfully.
"There's nothing we can do about it. There's no meat at the meat processing plant!"
"Uh! All right!"
"You know, we are physically strong. Without nutrition, we can't do it at all. We are out of breath after running a few steps. How can we catch people?"
"I understand." Li Jia nodded.
"Then look at this meat..."
"I'll send it to you, but the price has to be the same as here."
"no problem."
"Let's go then."
The two of them were riding bicycles, but there was only one. Seeing the young man struggling to ride it, Li Jiayi stopped his tricycle and said, "Come and sit on my tricycle!"
"Ah! Oh! Okay." The middle-aged man got off the bicycle and got on Li Jiayi's tricycle.
"You ride back slowly, we'll leave first." Li Jiayi said to the young man and drove away on the tricycle.
Although the area outside Deshengmen is not under the jurisdiction of Shichahai Street, it is close!
In less than ten minutes, Li Jiayi drove the tricycle to the Shichahai Police Station.
"I'll go behind you and go straight to the cafeteria."
"no problem."
Soon Li Jiayi drove the tricycle to the entrance of the cafeteria. Before he stopped, he heard the middle-aged man shouting into the cafeteria, "Old Wu, come out quickly."
"Who is it?" A middle-aged man in a white apron ran out of the cafeteria with a big spoon in his hand.
"Oh! Coach Gong! What can I do for you?"
"Old Wu, call two people to come out and move the meat."
"Meat?"
"Yes, hurry up."
"Oh! That's it."
"Xiao Wang, Xiao Chen, come out quickly." The chef named Lao Wu shouted to the cafeteria.
"Here comes Master."
Li Jiayi walked over to the box, climbed up and said, "You guys take it!"
After saying that, he opened the box and started taking out the meat, all of which weighed five pounds per piece.
Immediately, several people became busy, including Coach Gong, who also helped to carry meat to the cafeteria.
Two hundred kilograms is not a lot, so it was finished quickly.
Then I heard Old Wu say, "No more?"
"You want this much, a total of 200 kilograms."
"Coach Gong, is that so?"
"That's right!"
"Oh, it's too little. This little bit of meat is not enough to eat for a week."
You have to know that a police station of their level has a lot of people. There are more than a hundred formal staff members alone, and with some informal workers, there are almost two hundred people.
There were only two hundred kilograms of meat, which would not be enough for a week even if we ate it sparingly.
Don’t forget that we are short of oil and water now. I guess many people are reluctant to eat the meat and vegetables they buy, and want to take them home to eat with their families.
"Okay, Old Wu, stop complaining. Go get some meat dishes so everyone can have some good food at lunch."
"OK then."
After the chef named Lao Wu came in, Coach Gong turned to Li Jiayi and said, "Thank you, young comrade. Please come with me to the finance department to get the money."
"Okay, let's go."
On the way to the finance department to collect the money, Coach Gong asked, "Little comrade, do you have meat to sell in the future?"
"Yes! What's the matter?"
"Then could you please send us 200 kilograms of meat every week?"
Li Jiayi glanced at Coach Gong, nodded and said, "No problem."
"Thank you!"
"You're welcome, but let me make it clear that the price of meat follows the market price."
"Of course, that's what it should be."
The finance department was very happy to pay the money immediately when they heard it was for buying meat. They just asked Coach Gong to sign.
After coming out of the Shichahai Police Station, Li Jiayi looked back and drove his tricycle towards the courtyard.
As the tricycle arrived at the door, the gate opened and the fat black man said, "I think it's about time for you to come. I'll wait for you outside."
"I see you're hungry, aren't you?"
After being exposed by Li Jiayi, the little black fat man was not embarrassed at all, and said: "You know what, now you mention it, I am really a little hungry."
Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at him, ignored him, and drove the tricycle directly into the yard.
The fat man quickly locked the door and ran in.
