Chapter 216 Helping the Street Office Solve Problems
It took Liao Kai more than two hours to finish reading the two packages, and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

Three of the bottles and jars are authentic, including the previous one, two of the calligraphy and paintings are authentic, and there are three or four other small items that are authentic.

The rest were all fake, which made Li Jiayi speechless. He didn't expect that among so many things, only these few were real.

The proportion of fakes is too high, more than 90% are fakes, which makes him doubt whether things on the black market can be bought?
Fortunately, these things were not bought with tickets or money, otherwise he would be heartbroken.

Although there are some genuine ones, most of them are not valuable. If they are placed in antique trust stores, they are basically goods exchanged for foreign currency.

"Uncle Liao, thank you for your hard work."

"Hey, it's not that hard." Liao Kai said indifferently.

"Here, have a cigarette." Li Jiayi took out a box of specially supplied Zhonghua cigarettes and handed it over directly.

Li Aimin's mouth twitched when he saw this. He now knew that this cigarette was a good thing.

Unfortunately, it was too late. He had already smoked all the money Li Jiayi had given him, and Li Jiayi would not give him any more.

I didn't expect to give Liao Kai a pack today.

If it was something else, Liao Kai would definitely be humble, but this made it impossible for him to be humble or refuse.

After Liao Kai left, Li Jiayi really picked it up and went upstairs.

As for the fake ones, just throw them into the yard. Some of them can even be put in the house as vases.

"son!"

"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment, then stopped and asked in confusion, "Dad, what else do you want?"

"My son! Do you still have the cigarettes you gave Uncle Liao just now? Give Dad a pack."

Li Jiayi shook his head, took out a packet from his pocket and threw it over.

"Smoke sparingly, this means one less cigarette to smoke."

"Hehehe, got it. Don't worry, son. I promise to smoke this box of cigarettes for three months."

"Three months?" Li Jiayi looked at his father in surprise.

You can’t smoke for three months even if you smoke one cigarette every three days!
Li Jiayi shook his head and said nothing more. He took his things and went upstairs to rest.

Because tomorrow is Sunday and he doesn't have to go to school, he doesn't go to bed so early.

After entering the space and going through the daily process, Li Jiayi began to make some things.

But this time I’m not going to make spicy strips or peanuts or melon seeds, but I’m planning to make a batch of beef jerky.

The main reason is that there is too much beef in the space. Over such a long period of time, a lot of pork has been sold, but no beef has been sold.

In this case, he planned to make the beef into beef jerky. In this era of meat shortage, this thing would definitely sell well.

After working for more than two hours, Li Jiayi took a shower and rested.

But his biological clock still made him wake up at 5:30. He performed Taizu Changquan ten times in the space, drank some spiritual spring water to replenish his energy, and then took a bath.

After changing into clean clothes, Li Jiayi came out of the space.

"Good morning, big sister."

"Good morning, little brother. Why do I feel like you are a little different today?" the elder sister asked puzzledly.

"What's the difference?"

"In the past, when you woke up in the morning, you would at most call me sister to say hello. What's wrong with you today?"

"Huh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and realized it was true.

"Sister, I am happy today."

"Happy? What's there to be happy about?"

"Sister, have you forgotten what happened last night..."

The eldest sister said as if she suddenly understood something: "Oh! I understand. Okay, I'll go cook with mom."

"Ok!"

After breakfast, Li Jiayi drove his tricycle out of home. Although he didn't have to go to school today, he had no plans to go to the pigeon market or sell juice.

He wanted to take a walk around Sijiu City today. It had been more than eleven years since he came to this era, but he had never really seen Sijiu City.

Especially the current Beijing, it’s a pity that there are no cameras or video recorders, otherwise I would definitely record the imperial capital at this time.

After coming to the street, Li Jiayi obviously found that there were many more people wearing tattered clothes.

In fact, there have been such people for several months, but there were not so many. Especially in recent times, there have been suddenly many more such people in the imperial capital.

Others may not know what is going on, but Li Jiayi knows that these are people who have fled from famine.

It may also be because he came to the street specifically today and thought there were a few more.

These people who fled here due to famine were also suffering people. Although Li Jiayi felt very sympathetic towards them, he had no intention of helping them.

It’s not that he is cruel, but there is no way he can help because there are too many people!

This still requires the country to take action. No matter how capable an individual is, he can never be stronger than the country.

In the blink of an eye, the morning passed, and Li Jiayi actually strolled outside for the whole morning, which was simply impossible before.

Since he has this time, he will try to make some money.

Before he knew it, Li Jiayi drove his tricycle to the street office.

The street office now is very different from before. In the past, there were very few people in the street office except for the staff.

But now, the entire street office is full of people, but most of them are people who have fled from famine.

I guess Aunt Xu is worried and anxious every day! With so many people coming in from outside the city, it's impossible to drive them out!

It is even more impossible not to give them food. Even if the food is poor, they must have food. At the very least, they must not starve to death, otherwise there will be big trouble.

Seeing this, Li Jiayi thought about it and drove his tricycle towards the street office.

"Uncle, I'm looking for Director Xu." Li Jiayi handed a cigarette to the gatekeeper and said, "Come in! Director Xu is in the backyard."

"okay."

The front yard was used as an office, and the back yard was some empty rooms, of course, that was in the past.

Li Jiayi drove his tricycle directly to the backyard and suddenly felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Because the entire backyard was filled with sheds, some with plastic sheets and some with torn canvas.

Director Xu was arranging people to cook porridge.

"Director Xu." Li Jiayi called out.

"Jiayi, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

"I am busy."

"Okay, I got it. Wait for me, I'll be right there."

"Yeah!" Li Jia nodded.

Li Jiayi drove the tricycle to the front yard, parked it, and waited at the door of Director Xu's office.

About ten minutes later, Director Xu came over in a hurry.

As he opened the door, he asked, "What do you want from me?"

Li Jiayi smiled and said, "Of course I'm here to help you solve the problem."

"Solve the problem, you?"

"Why, not like?"

"You came here to entertain Aunt Xu, right?"

"Aunt Xu, I'm telling the truth. I'm really here to help you solve your problem."

"Okay, then tell me how you can help me solve the problem?"

"Aunt Xu, are there many women among those who came here to escape famine?"

"That's right!" Director Xu nodded and said, "Now they all live in the house in the backyard."

The sheds in the backyard are for men to live in, while women and children live in the house in the backyard.

"So, do most of the women in this industry have no family or relatives?"

"Ok!"

"There are quite a few children, right? And many of them don't have parents anymore."

"Yes!" Director Xu nodded again.

"Aunt Xu, how many bachelors are there in Xinjiekou Street who haven't found wives?"

"Ugh! There are a lot."

"Then tell me, how many families in our street are childless? I mean the kind that cannot have children."

Hearing this, Director Xu's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Jiayi and said, "I wonder what's wrong with your head, kid?"

At this point, if Director Xu still doesn't understand what Li Jiayi meant, then her position as director is in vain.

"Aunt Xu, I only remembered it after seeing so many people. It's nothing."

"Isn't that a big deal? You've helped Aunt Xu a lot."

"By the way, Aunt Xu, are there any young and pretty people among those who have fled here?"

"What are you doing, little brat?"

Seeing Director Xu's expression, Li Jiayi knew what she was thinking. He almost spat out blood and said, "Aunt Xu, what are you thinking? I'm still a child."

"Then why are you asking this?"

"Oh, isn't this my uncle Liao? He's already 27 years old and still doesn't have a wife. I was thinking about helping him pick one."

"Are you talking about Liao Kai?"

"Yes, Aunt Xu, you know what Uncle Liao's situation is. Normally, it would be difficult for him to find a wife, but you and I both understand what's going on and what kind of person Uncle Liao is."

Director Xu frowned and said, "That's true, but there's nothing we can do about it. This is the policy from above."

"Yes! But Uncle Liao's conditions are good! As the saying goes, a cook will never starve to death in a famine. Whoever follows him will definitely enjoy a good life. Moreover, marrying a person who escaped from the famine can also neutralize his character."

"This way, add one. Come with me to the backyard and see if there is anything suitable. If there is, I will tell you about this side and leave it to you over there."

"Okay." Li Jiayi nodded quickly.

Li Jiayi helped Liao Kai find a wife, so he had to find a good one! And he was the first one to choose.

As for the later part, Director Xu will definitely bring the bachelors on the street here and let them choose for themselves. As long as the girl agrees, there will be no problem.

Li Jiayi followed Director Xu to the backyard and opened the door of the first room.

As soon as the door opened, everyone in the room looked over.

There were a lot of people, all women and children. There were more than twenty people in just one room.

There were no beds or anything, everyone slept on the floor.

When these women and children looked over, Li Jiayi also looked at them and then shook his head at Director Xu.

The meaning is very clear, I don't like it.

Then Director Xu took Li Jiayi to open the second room, the third room, and so on to the fifth room. When he saw a young girl with red lips and white teeth in the crowd, Li Jiayi's eyes lit up.

The girl looked to be in her twenties. Although her clothes were tattered, she looked very clean.
