Chapter 222: The Half-Stopped Bakery

"If that's the case, of course there's no problem, but there's one thing I want to make clear first."

"You said."

"I don't want money, I just want big and small yellow croakers."

"no problem."

"Also, you need to prepare a place to receive the pork and food I send over."

"No need to prepare this, it's ready-made. I just don't know when we can make the transaction?"

"I'm available anytime. How about this, for the first transaction, I'll give you 9,000 kilograms of flour, 9,000 kilograms of rice, and 5,000 kilograms of pork."

Li Jiayi is trying to make the number an even number, otherwise it would be difficult to settle the bill.

"hiss!"

When he heard the number Li Jiayi said, even Mr. Long took a breath of cold air.

Lord Long was very sure that there was definitely an organization behind Li Jiayi, and this organization was no ordinary one.

I guess it would only take a few minutes to kill Lord Long. You must be kidding. Otherwise, who could produce so much food and pork?

"Why, can't you eat?"

"I can eat it. I can eat it."

"Okay, when do you want it?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Of course the sooner the better."

"How about this, you tell me the place and give me a key. You can go there to pick it up after 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. For this first transaction, I won't charge you for the yellow croaker. When you want it next time, you have to pay for it this time and the next time."

"Then how do we contact you?" asked Long Ye.

"You don't need to contact me. Just write down what you want and the quantity, prepare the yellow croaker and put it together. You can pick it up after 7 o'clock the next day."

"no problem."

Long Ye turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man who brought Li Jiayi over and said, "Take this young man to the small courtyard to the west of us, and then give him a key."

"Okay Master Long."

This transaction sounds like a lot, but it is actually not that much, only forty large yellow croakers.

Li Jiayi and the middle-aged man came to the black market, rode on a tricycle, and took the middle-aged man to the courtyard that Long Ye mentioned.

This courtyard is not far from the black market, just two or three hundred meters west of the black market. The courtyard is not big, but it is much larger than the courtyard where Long Ye stayed before.

It was estimated that this should be one of Long Ye’s many warehouses. The two of them went in to take a look and found that the yard was empty, and there was nothing in the house either.

After looking at the place, the middle-aged man gave Li Jiayi a key and left. Li Jiayi stayed here for a while, then locked the door and left.

At this time, if anyone came to take a look, they would find that flour, rice and pork were neatly stacked in the house.

He wouldn't have time to come tomorrow morning, and it was already three in the morning.

Besides, it’s not summer now, so it’s okay to leave the pork for a few hours.

In the next few days, Li Jiayi would visit this courtyard every night.

There was nothing in the first two days, until the third night, when Li Jiayi saw a pile of large yellow croakers and a note.

I picked up the note and took a look at it. It said that I needed 5,000 kilograms of pork, 18,000 kilograms of flour, and 9,000 kilograms of rice.

And it was written at the back whether there were any other foods. He knew that Mr. Long must be asking if there were any cornmeal or cornmeal.

After all, not everyone will buy rice and white flour. Cornmeal and cornmeal are also very popular.

Li Jiayi took out a pen and paper and wrote a note, writing down the names of cornmeal and cornmeal.

The price of cornmeal is half of that of white flour, which means that one small yellow croaker can be exchanged for 180 kilograms.

As for cornmeal, one small yellow croaker can only be exchanged for 240 kilograms.

After writing the note and putting it down, I started to count the yellow croakers. There were exactly ninety, no more, no less. Forty of them were the ones I had before, and the remaining fifty were the ones I wanted this time.

Li Jiayi collected the big yellow croakers, and then collected the bags of flour prepared by Long Ye.

The first time, it was Li Jiayi who provided the flour bags, but later on, Long Ye had to provide them himself, otherwise he wouldn’t have that many flour bags.

Soon Li Jiayi took out everything that Long Ye wanted, then locked the door and left.

Although he does not trade every day, the amount of this one transaction is at least more than if he trades seven or eight times on his own.

Most importantly, he doesn't have to take any risks himself.

In the blink of an eye, it was Sunday again. In the morning, Li Jiayi drove his tricycle to the bakery.

Due to the shortage of materials, the bakery is now in a semi-suspended state and can only produce some ordinary bread. There is no other way! If we can't collect eggs, we can't make some good bread.

Arriving at the gate, Li Jiayi stopped his tricycle and walked directly to the guard room.

"Hello comrade, I'm looking for Director Liu from your logistics department."

"What do you want to see Director Liu about?"

This Director Liu was the person who bought all the meat when Li Jiayi was selling meat at the pigeon market outside Fuxingmen a long time ago.

At that time, he said that if I had any questions, I could come to the bakery to find him. Unfortunately, Li Jiayi was very busy and had nothing to do at the bakery, so he never came.

In order to help Uncle Liao, Li Jiayi had to come this time.

"I have an appointment with Director Liu. Come over to see him."

"Please register here and write 'visiting' as the reason." The security guard handed over a registration book and said.

"Ok."

Li Jiayi quickly registered and drove the tricycle in. This was his first time here, so he was not familiar with the place and could only ask along the way.

Fortunately, the bakery was in a semi-shutdown state, so many people had nothing to do and I met quite a few people on the road.

Finally I arrived at the logistics department. Of course, the level of the bakery cannot be compared with that of the woolen mill.

After parking and locking the tricycle outside, Li Jiayi went straight in and quickly found Director Liu's office.

"Knock knock knock." Li Jiayi went up and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

After pushing open the door and walking in, in just a few months, Director Liu has changed a lot.

He looked extremely haggard, as if he had aged several years.

"You are..." Director Liu frowned and asked when he saw Li Jiayi.

"Director Liu, you don't remember me. I was selling pork at the pigeon market outside Fuxingmen."

After Li Jiayi reminded him, Director Liu remembered and said quickly, "Oh, it's you! What do you want to see me about?"

"Well, I heard from others that your bakery is in a semi-shutdown state, so I came to see what's going on."

"Alas, there is nothing we can do. We simply cannot collect eggs now. We have sent many workers out of the factory, but we still cannot collect eggs."

It would be strange if we could receive it. What’s the situation in the countryside now? People can’t even get food to eat, so how can they feed the chickens?

Let’s not talk about whether there is anyone who still keeps chickens. Even if there is, those chickens will not lay eggs because there is no food!

"I see! I can provide some eggs to your factory."

"What!" Director Liu stood up suddenly.

Maybe because he was too excited, he knocked over the chair.

"I said I can provide eggs to your factory, but I don't know how many eggs your factory needs per day?"

"Our factory is not big, and one thousand eggs a day is enough."

"A thousand?"

"If you can't get a thousand, five hundred will do."

"Director Liu, that's not what I meant. I meant that your bakery only uses a thousand eggs a day!"

You should know that the one thousand eggs Director Liu mentioned were the kind of eggs collected from the countryside.

They are very small, weighing twelve or thirteen, or even thirteen or fourteen per pound.

If we count the eggs in Li Jiayi's space, I estimate that five hundred would be enough.

This made Li Jiayi speechless. Not to mention how many eggs there were in the space now, even the ones collected every day were about seven or eight thousand.

The eggs used in the bakery were indeed a little too little for him.

"Director Liu, you said that many bakeries in the capital are the same now. If your factory has eggs, will you be able to sell a lot of them?"

"Of course, if there were eggs, given the current situation, sales would probably be several times more than before."

"Oh, by the way, Director Liu, this is the egg sample I brought. Please take a look and see how many of these eggs your factory can order at one time." Li Jiayi took out an egg from his schoolbag and handed it over.

"Such a big egg?" Director Liu asked in surprise.

He was in charge of the entire logistics department, including the material warehouse. He had seen eggs before, but this was the first time he had seen such a big egg.

"Little comrade, I want to ask, what do you want?"

"Director Liu, this is what happened. I have an aunt who is unemployed. I want to ask if there are any job openings in our factory? If so, can you give me one?"

It is true that Li Jiayi helped Liao Kai, but it is also true that he wanted to clean up the inventory, but it is not as important as helping Liao Kai.

"I can't promise you this because I don't know much about it. How about this, you stay in my office first, and I'll go ask the factory manager."

"Oh! All right."

"By the way, I'll take this egg and show it to the factory manager."

"can."

It’s just an egg, Li Jiayi doesn’t care at all.

Director Liu ran out in a hurry, and no one knew what he said to the factory manager. He came back half an hour later.

Judging from the smile on his face, this matter is probably almost certain.

"How is it, Director Liu?"

"Little comrade, our factory director said that as long as you can provide our factory with 300 kilograms of eggs every day, you will be given a regular job."

I guess it’s because Li Jiayi’s eggs are bigger, so they are sold by pound instead of by the individual eggs.

"Of course, our factory manager also said that the price of eggs is 2.2 yuan per pound according to the current market price."

To be honest, eggs at two yuan and twenty cents per pound are really not expensive, considering that white flour costs one yuan.

The nutritional value of one pound of eggs is definitely much higher than that of two pounds of white flour!
"Director Liu, 300 kilograms of eggs a day is absolutely no problem, but I can't deliver them every day. How about delivering more each time, once a week?"

"Of course it's no problem! It would be better if you can deliver it all at once."

"What about the job quota..."

"There's no problem with the quota. The factory manager is calling the higher-ups and they will probably approve it soon."
