Chapter 213 Ghost Street Black Market

Chapter 213 Ghost Street Black Market
It's just a wild boar. It's nothing to Li Jiayi. He can take it out at any time.

But he couldn't take it, at least not easily.

Even if you're just pretending, you have to make it look real!
After Director Xu left, the eldest sister said, "Little brother, can you help Aunt Xu get a wild boar?"

"Sister, why are you asking this?"

"It's okay, just asking."

Li Jiayi knew that his elder sister was worried that he wouldn't be able to get it and might offend someone.

"Okay, big sister, it's just a wild boar. I can get it back in a few minutes."

"Ah! Then why didn't you tell Director Xu just now?"

"Big sister! Is something that is too easy to obtain still precious?"

"Uh!"

The eldest sister is also a smart person! After Li Jiayi said this, she understood what was going on.

At the same time, Director Xu also returned to the street office, ran into the office and took out the front phone to make a call.

"Hey!"

"Old Wu! It's me."

"Oh, it's Director Xu."

Old Wu is of course Director Wu of the woolen mill. The reason why the two people look so familiar is because they are comrades-in-arms.

"Old Wu, I'll die if you don't mock me! Do I have to call you Director Wu from now on?"

"No, Old Xu, I was just joking, you're so anxious."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I heard that your factory got twelve wild boars today."

"Old Xu, this is great! We have spies in our factory. I just got the news and you already know it."

"What do I know? And what do you mean by now? I know the person who sent the wild boar to your factory. He told me."

"Ah! So that's how it is! Then why did you call me?"

"It's like this, Old Wu. Our neighborhood office hasn't seen any meat for more than a month. Can your factory give us some?"

Hearing what Director Xu said, Director Wu said with a headache: "Old Xu, based on our friendship, I definitely want to agree to your request, but I really can't."

"Come on, Old Wu, you won't agree to such a small thing? Besides, I'm not asking for it for nothing. Wait a few days, Xiao Jiayi will send the wild boar to our street office, and I'll return it to you."

"Old Xu, can you please listen to what I have to say?"

"Uh!" Director Xu was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "You go ahead."

"It's like this. After the wild boar was brought back, the canteen director came to me and said that the wild boar should be distributed. There will be a dinner for the whole factory tomorrow. I thought it was a good thing! So I agreed. So I want to give you the meat. There is nothing I can do now."

"Uh!" This time Director Xu didn't know what to say, because she had misunderstood Mr. Wu.
"Old Wu, you are amazing. You guys are going to finish two or three thousand kilograms of pork in one meal?"

"Alas, there is nothing we can do about it! It's not just your street office that hasn't seen any meat for more than a month. Our factory is almost the same. And don't forget, there are more than 10,000 people in our factory. It's good enough for each person to get a few bites of this little meat."

Hearing what Director Wu said, Director Xu was also helpless. That's right! The First Woolen Mill is a large factory with 14,000 to 15,000 people.

Even if there are 3,000 kilograms of pork, the average weight per person is only 2 taels. How much is 2 taels? If it is cooked, it will only be two small lumps.

"In that case, forget it. Let's wait for two more days for Xiao Jiayi to deliver it to us."

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Old Xu. Since you know the person who delivers meat to our factory, how could your street office be short of meat? Even if he gives you some, you won't be able to finish it!"

How many people are there in the subdistrict office? Not even as many as a team in a wool spinning mill.

"Alas, I never thought about it before. Now I have no other choice but to go find him, but he has already sent the wild boar to your factory."

"All right!"

Li Jiayi, seeing that nothing was to do, went upstairs to have a rest. Driving a tricycle was very tiring.

At around six o'clock, Li Jiayi went out again, of course to bring food to Fatty.

Just then his mother came back and had prepared dinner. After dinner, Li Jiayi went upstairs to sleep.

The next morning, Li Jiayi went to the yard first and put out some peanuts and melon seeds.

Then he drove his tricycle to the pigeon market outside Yongdingmen, where he sold meat for the whole morning.

I delivered lunch to Fatty at noon, took a nap in the yard, and then went to sell juice in the afternoon.

This thing won't be sold for a few more days because he's about to go back to school and won't have time to come out.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jiayi delivered the meal to Fatty, and then found a place to change the carriage.

We put two wild boars on the tricycle, covered them with something, and went directly to the street office.

"Uncle, I'm looking for Director Xu." Li Jiayi handed the guard a cigarette and said.

"It's you! Come in!"

"okay."

After entering the street office, Li Jiayi drove to the office area, parked the car, and then went straight to Director Xu's office.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in."

Li Jiayi pushed the door open and went in, shouting, "Aunt Xu."

"It's Jiayi! Come in, what do you want from me at this time?"

"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment and said, "Aunt Xu, don't you want a wild boar?"

"Ah! Are you here to deliver the wild boar?" Director Xu asked in disbelief.

She thought it would take Li Jiayi at least a few days to get there, but she didn't expect him to be delivered so quickly.

"Yes! I went to Changping to look for hunters early this morning and I just came back." "Oh! That was really hard work. How is it? Did you get the wild boar back?"

"Yeah! It's on the tricycle outside."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Director Xu quickly stood up and said, "Quick, take me to see it."

"Ok!"

When the two men came outside the office, Director Xu ran towards Li Jiayi's tricycle.

He lifted the canvas covering the animals and when he saw two wild boars, he said in surprise, "You bastard, you got two?"

"Yes! But you just have to give me the money for one head."

"What do you mean, little brat? Bribing me?"

Li Jiayi curled his lips and said, "Aunt Xu, what do you have for me to bribe you with?"

"Uh! What do you mean?"

"One of these two wild boars is for your street office. It's worth the money. As for the other one, I'd like you to clean it up and give it to the families of military martyrs in our street."

"Uh! Is that so!"

"Or else?"

"Okay, I promise you, I will make sure the meat is delivered to every family member of a military martyr."

"Thank you!"

"You little brat, I should be the one thanking you. Even if you don't send it, the Street Office will give a portion of it to the families of military martyrs after killing the pig."

Li Jiayi spread his hands and said, "That's perfect. Now your street office doesn't have to send it, and you can take some home."

"Yes! That way we can still have a lot of wild boar meat left over."

"Okay Aunt Xu, I'll go back first. When I'm done packing, you can send the money home for me."

"Well! Don't worry, Aunt Xu won't let you suffer any loss."

Li Jiayi shrugged and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. If you suffer a loss, it's a one-time deal. If you don't suffer a loss, you can continue."

"You brat."

Two days later, the whole family got up early in the morning because school started that day.

Now, the three siblings are finally attending the same school.

Yes, my second sister Li Jialin is also in junior high school this year, and she is in the first grade.

In this way, the three siblings are in the first, second and third year of junior high school.

The eldest sister is in the third grade of junior high school, Li Jiayi is in the second grade of junior high school, and the second sister is in the first grade of junior high school.

Today is the first day. There will be no classes. I will just pay tuition and get new books.

I guess I can go home before noon and then wait for the official classes to start tomorrow.

After breakfast, the three siblings took Asheng and Aquan away from home. Because they were going to school, Li Jiayi did not drive the tricycle.

The two of them first followed their second sister to register, then paid the tuition and were assigned to classes. After all this was done, the two of them returned to their respective classes.

Just as he thought, he just paid the tuition, got the new books, and then went home.

Li Jiayi was just promoted and was still the same student in the same class. He didn't have to introduce himself, so of course he would be quick.

"Jia Yi, there are no classes in the afternoon. Can I take someone to sell peanuts and sunflower seeds?"

"Fatty, didn't I tell you? You can handle this on your own. You don't need to ask me. I only provide things."

"I see. I'll be leaving now."

"Ok!"

When Li Jiayi arrived at the school gate, the eldest sister was already waiting there, and her speed was even faster than Li Jiayi and the others.

"Little brother, your second sister may need some time, let's wait for her here."

"Okay sister."

Li Jiayi didn't care. What difference did it make if he went back a little earlier or a little later?

There is nothing to do when we go back anyway, at most my elder and second sisters will review their new books.

That afternoon, staff from the street office came to the yard to distribute food coupons.

That’s right, today is September 1st! On the first day of this month, the street office must issue food coupons, otherwise some people will not be able to eat.

I just don’t understand why the food coupons are only distributed in the afternoon. If they are distributed in the morning, I can still go to the grain station to buy snacks in the afternoon.

If it is sent at this time, you definitely won’t have time to buy it today. After all, you will have to queue in a very long line if you go there now.

What Li Jiayi didn’t know was that the distribution was not started in the afternoon, but had already started in the morning, but it was only their hospital’s turn in the afternoon.

Since my parents were not at home, the food coupons were of course given to my eldest sister for safekeeping.

Li Jiayi knew that after issuing food coupons today, an era of food shortage would follow.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed. At around twelve o'clock that night, after seeing that everyone in the family was asleep, Li Jiayi came down from upstairs.

Then he took Ah Sheng out through the back door and headed straight for the ghost market.

Ghost Street, which is Guijie in later generations, but now this place is called Ghost Street, and it is also the location of the current black market.

Li Jiayi didn't come here to buy or sell anything, he came here to take a look.

To put it bluntly, he wanted to find out about the current market conditions. You know, the price of food coupons in the pigeon market has increased a lot, and he wanted to see what the situation was in the black market.
