Chapter 220 First Encounter with Lin Ling'er

"Yes, Wenwen, our family doesn't lack this little money. You are very weak now, so at least you should take care of your health first." Liao Kai said to Xu Wenwen.

"But……"

"No buts. Don't worry, I can support you even if you don't go to work."

"Aunt, the reason why Uncle Liao wants to find you a job is mainly to transfer your household registration here, not to let you earn money."

How could Li Jiayi not know Liao Kai's purpose? There is a huge difference between having a household registration and not having one.

Although Xu Wenwen now has a long-term residence certificate, it is not a household registration! Who knows when the policy will change again.

He was afraid! He was afraid that Xu Wenwen would be sent back to her hometown like Shi Shangfei's wife Tao Huiyun.

Also, the child’s household registration is with the mother. If Xu Wenwen does not have a household registration, then the same goes for their child.

Time flies, and it is November in a blink of an eye. However, it is just the beginning of November and the weather is a bit cold.

But it’s not too cold, at least not compared to last year.

Because at this time last year, the temperature was already below zero, but now it's still around 10 degrees.

The temperature will be lower in the morning and evening, but it will still be above seven or eight degrees.

This day was the first time that Li Jiayi tried selling beef jerky.

Yes, the beef jerky has been produced for some time, but Li Jiayi has never sold it.

It just so happened that he had nothing to do tonight, so he decided to come out and give it a try. If it sold well, he could give it to Fatty.

Li Jiayi made beef jerky into packages of one or two liang, and the price of a package of beef jerky was 60 cents.

It sounds expensive, six dollars per pound, but it is actually not expensive at all. Don't forget that this is beef jerky, and it takes two pounds of fresh beef to make one pound of beef jerky.

Now the price of pork in Gezi City has risen to three yuan per catty, but even so, there is still no demand.

Although beef is not as expensive as pork, it is different when made into beef jerky. This is very delicious beef jerky!

The place where Li Jiayi wanted to sell beef jerky was the Shichahai Cinema.

He wanted to go to the Xinjiekou Cinema, but was afraid of running into acquaintances, so he chose this place.

Li Jiayi parked the tricycle and took out some beef jerky and put it out. The movie had not started yet.

And there are many people queuing up to buy tickets.

"Don't miss it if you pass by. It's delicious beef jerky, only 60 cents a bag."

"Boss!"

Just at this moment, a voice came from behind him, and Li Jiayi quickly turned around to look.

He shouted in surprise: "Liu Weimin."

"You are my boss, what are you selling?" Liu Weimin asked.

"Beef jerky!"

"Beef jerky?" Liu Weimin felt sorry.

"It's like this. I got some beef jerky recently, and I plan to give it a try. If it works, I'll give it to you to sell."

That’s right, Liu Weimin was one of the people who followed Li Jiayi to sell peanuts and sunflower seeds.

And this place is where he usually sells peanuts and melon seeds.

"I see! How are the sales?"

"I just arrived too."

"Is that so?" After saying that, the boy also climbed onto the tricycle, took out some peanuts and sunflower seeds and put them out, shouting, "Peanuts, sunflower seeds and beef jerky, come and buy some if you need them."

"You can do it, kid!"

"Hehehe!" Liu Weimin laughed foolishly.

"Give me four bags of melon seeds and four bags of peanuts." A couple came over and said to Liu Weimin.

"Okay, would you two like to try some beef jerky? It's super delicious, and it's made of pure beef."

"Pure beef? Really?"

No wonder no one came to buy beef jerky, and no one even asked about it. It turns out it’s because they didn’t even know it was made of beef.

"Of course it's real, absolutely pure beef. If it's fake, the penalty is ten times the real deal." Li Jiayi said.

"How much is a pack?"

"Sixty cents a pack."

"Ah! Why is it so expensive?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. This is made from pure beef, and one pound of beef can only make half a pound of beef jerky at most, so it's normal that the price is a bit higher."

"How about buying a pack and trying it?"

The man didn't want to buy it at first, but the woman next to him said something and he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, then buy a pack and try it."

"Ok!"

Although some people have bought it, there are still few people buying beef jerky. However, Liu Weimin's peanuts and sunflower seeds are selling very quickly.

Especially when the movie is about to start, more people buy peanuts and melon seeds.

Li Jiayi only sold three packs of beef jerky in total, and all three packs were bought by couples.

This made Li Jiayi speechless. What made him even more helpless was that men would only buy something if women said they wanted to.

In fact, this is normal. There is not much in a bag of beef jerky, but it costs 60 cents. With this money, you can buy six bags of melon seeds or three bags of peanuts.

However, Li Jiayi is very confident in the beef jerky he makes. He believes that anyone who has eaten it will buy it again next time.

Moreover, word of mouth will get better and better, but it takes time. Even if word of mouth is good, it is impossible to sell as much as peanuts and melon seeds.

The most fundamental reason is that the price is too high, 60 cents a bag! This is equivalent to an apprentice's day's salary.

Not many people would be willing to spend so much money on a bag of beef jerky. Time soon came to around eight o'clock in the evening, just as one movie ended and before another one started, Li Jiayi planned to go back.

I stayed here for almost two hours and only sold a dozen bags of beef jerky.

It's already very late, so he plans to go back because he has to go to school tomorrow.

Just when Li Jiayi finished packing and was about to leave, a little girl got on his tricycle.

Li Jiayi turned his head and saw a little girl with big eyes sitting behind him.

Because it was dark, he couldn't see the little girl's appearance clearly, he only saw a pair of big eyes.

Although there is a large box at the back of Li Jiayi's tricycle, he also left a seat for himself to sit on when selling things.

"What are you doing?"

"Send me to Ciqikou!"

The two people spoke in unison.

It seems that the little girl mistook him for Wobo'er, but she didn't see that this tricycle is completely different from Wobo'er's tricycle?

"This is not a tricycle for transporting people."

"Oh! I'm sorry! It's so late and there's no car. Can you take me home? Don't worry, I'll pay."

Li Jiayi didn't want to see her off at first, but when he saw that the girl was a little girl and it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, he nodded and said, "Okay! Ciqikou, right?"

"Yes."

The people who live in Ciqikou are all rich people! And they are really rich people.

To put it bluntly, a lot of capital is living there, because there are many small Western-style buildings there.

However, those who still lived in the small Western-style building at this time could be said to be patriotic businessmen, or what others called red businessmen.

This little girl came out alone to watch a movie late at night. She is definitely not a child from an ordinary family.

After all, children from ordinary families her age would never come out to watch a movie.

Ciqikou was not far away, and with the little girl's guidance, we arrived there in less than ten minutes.

It was because it was night and he didn't know where the little girl lived, otherwise it would have been faster.

The tricycle stopped in front of the gate of a villa with a large courtyard, and the little girl got off the tricycle.

Only then did Li Jiayi realize that although the little girl was not very old, she was very tall, much taller than him.

"Here's the money." The little girl handed over a dollar and said.

"No need, I told you, I'm not a wimp."

In fact, the little girl already knew that he was not Wobo'er, because there was no Wobo'er so young, and also, there was no way Wobo'er could have such a tricycle.

"I know, but you still have to take the money!"

"No, I'm leaving."

“等等，你叫什么名字？”

"My name is Wu Chiren." Li Jiayi waved his hand and said.

"Wu Chiren, I remember you. My name is Lin Linger."

At this moment, the door of the villa opened, and a woman came out and said to the girl, "Ling'er, why did you come back so late? Don't you know that your parents are worried?"

"Mom, am I back now?"

"Who were you talking to just now? And you even told them your name." The middle-aged woman asked as she pulled her into the villa.

"Oh! A kid named Wu Chiren. He brought me back."

"Wu Chiren?"

"Yup!"

"You silly girl, you didn't even know you were cheated, but the other person did the right thing. It was you who told others your name so casually."

"I was cheated? Who cheated me?"

A middle-aged man sitting in the living room of the villa said, "Wu Chiren, shout a few more times."

"Wu Chiren, Wu Chiren, there is no such person, ah! Why?"

Lin Ling'er asked in confusion, it's just a name, why use a fake name.

"This shows that they are cautious and they are doing the right thing. They would never tell others their name casually."

"Humph, this person is too mean. He actually told me a fake name."

"I'm not a bad person, otherwise I wouldn't have sent you back so late. You told others your name, which means I didn't ask you for money."

"Uh! Dad, how do you know everything?"

You know, Li Jiayi didn't ask her for money, but he hadn't said it yet! Unexpectedly, his father knew about it.

The middle-aged man smiled and said nothing.

What a simple thing! If someone takes the money, will you still tell them your name?

Of course not! You take the bus so many times every day, but I never see you tell anyone your name!
As for Li Jiayi, after sending Lin Linger home, he drove his tricycle directly home.

Although he took a long detour, it didn't waste much time for him who was driving a tricycle.

After all, this thing doesn't require him to put in any effort, just step on the gas and it goes extremely fast.

When he returned home, everyone in the family had already gone to bed. Li Jiayi asked Ah Sheng to go to the east wing first before returning to his room.

After entering the space, Li Jiayi first went through the process and then took a shower.

　PS: Love is always there, can you give me a monthly ticket? Thank you!
