Chapter 224 Come and see the fool

After coming out of the bakery, Li Jiayi glanced at his pocket watch. It was still early, so there was nothing to do if he went back at this time.

After thinking about it, Li Jiayi went to Liulichang. Liao Kai went out early this morning. If I am not mistaken, Liao Kai should be shopping on Taobao in Liulichang at this time.

Li Jiayi had never met Liao Kai on Taobao, so he planned to go and take a look and hand him the employment form for the bakery.

Ten minutes later, Li Jiayi arrived at Liulichang. Because there were so many people, he couldn't find a place to put away the tricycle.

He simply locked the tricycle on the side of the road and went in with Ah Sheng.

Liulichang is just a street with antique shops everywhere on both sides of the road, but these antique shops are now part of public-private partnerships.

Of course, there are also purely public ones, which is the only antique trust store here.

There are so many stores and Li Jiayi doesn’t know which one Liao Kai is, so he can only go around one by one.

Because Ah Sheng was too big, he left Ah Sheng at the door before entering the store and went in alone.

This antique shop is quite large and there are quite a few people inside. The shelves in the shop are filled with all kinds of antiques.

This store is not a genuine store, which can be seen from the fact that there are no prices.

The Quanzhen store does not sell fakes, and every antique is marked with a price.

Of course, because it is absolutely real, the price is much higher.

There is also another type like this antique shop, where each antique is not marked with a price, and as to whether it is real or fake, it all depends on one's own ability.

Likewise, the antiques here are not priced very high.

Li Jiayi walked around the store and came out. There were many antiques inside, but he didn't know which ones were real and which ones were fake, so he didn't know what was the point of staying here.

Soon Li Jiayi came to the second store, which was the same as the first one, with no prices marked.

Li Jiayi walked around and came out, because he didn't see Liao Kai here either.

He didn't buy antiques or look at them, he was just looking for people, so he moved very quickly.

In less than ten minutes, he had visited seven or eight shops, and then Li Jiayi entered another shop.

After he came in, he realized that although this was also an antique shop, it was a trust store.

Li Jiayi was interested in a trust store that specialized in antiques.

There were many antiques in the store. Li Jiayi took a look around and found that these antiques were not very valuable.

Most of them cost around a few dozen yuan, and there are quite a few that cost more than ten yuan each.

There are only a few items that cost more than 200 yuan each, and even fewer that cost more than 100 yuan.

These antiques were collected by trust stores, and those with research value have been collected.

The rest are either of little research value or are relatively large in number.

After these antiques are collected, they will be displayed in the store for a period of time for people to buy. If no one buys them after a period of time, they will be packaged and sold abroad to exchange for foreign currency.

Li Jiayi thought about it and decided to sell them. Although these antiques had no research value, it did not mean that they were worthless.

I bought all the items that cost more than two hundred yuan, and then picked out some items that cost more than one hundred yuan each.

In total, Li Jiayi spent more than 4,000 yuan, which could be said to be the most he had ever spent since he became rich.

This is more than 4,000 yuan! Even the manager of the trust store was polite to him.

Holding the antiques, Li Jiayi came out of the store and continued walking forward. However, as he walked, the number of antiques in his hands became fewer and fewer.

When he arrived at the door of an antique shop again, he was holding some newspapers wrapped in antiques.

He threw the newspaper outside the store and walked straight in.

He walked out of the store without even stopping.

The main thing is that this antique shop is very small and you can see everything at a glance once you enter.

After going to four or five antique shops in a row, he finally saw Liao Kai.

Liao Kai was looking at an antique in this antique shop. It was an inkstone. He didn't know if he couldn't see it clearly or what, but he kept looking at it.

Even when Li Jiayi walked up to him, he didn't notice.

Liao Kai was looking at antiques, and Li Jiayi didn't disturb him, but just stood by and waited.

A few minutes later, Liao Kai put down the inkstone and saw Li Jiayi.

"Hey! Why are you here?"

"I don't have anything to do today, but I thought you might be here, so I came to see you."

"Are you here to buy antiques?" Liao Kai asked.

"No!" Li Jiayi shook his head.

He wasn't lying, he really wasn't here to buy antiques, and as for the ones he bought at the trust store, they didn't count at all.

After all, those have been authenticated by others, so he just needs to spend money.

"Uncle Liao, how about this inkstone?"

"It's OK. What, do you want to buy it?"

"Ok!"

"I think it's better to forget it. I just took a look and although this inkstone is still in use, it is not top quality and the price is not cheap."

"Oh! How much?"

"This number." Liao Kai stretched out his hand and slapped it.

"No way, this thing costs five thousand?" Li Jiayi asked in disbelief.

Then Liao Kai looked at him like he was an idiot and said, "What do you mean five thousand? It's five hundred."

"Uh! Five hundred! Not expensive."

"Puff!" Liao Kai almost vomited blood.

Five hundred is not expensive! How much is expensive?

On this point, Li Jiayi and Liao Kai have different ideas. In Liao Kai's opinion, if you can't buy an antique at a lower price, you will lose money.

But Li Jiayi is different. For him, as long as the things are good, it doesn't matter if they are a little expensive. No matter how expensive they are, they can still be more expensive than in the future. If you spend 500 yuan to buy this inkstone now, you can easily sell it for millions in the future.

"You are really rich now. I can buy a few inkstones like this with 500 yuan."

"Uh! Okay! No need then."

Next, the two of them wandered around various antique shops together, looking at a lot of things, but didn't buy anything.

There is no way, because in Liao Kai's opinion, these prices are too high and not worth it at all.

In that case, Li Jiayi did not buy it. There will be plenty of opportunities to buy antiques in the future, and the prices will be cheaper.

Not only that, you can also buy a lot of good stuff, which is simply incomparable to those antique shops in Liulichang.

At this time, keeping the money is not of much use, but he doesn't want to be a sucker.

Even if you want to buy some, you can just go to a trust store or an antique trust store. After all, they are all real, and the prices are much cheaper than those in antique stores.

Glancing at his pocket watch, it was already half past eleven. Li Jiayi asked, "Uncle Liao, it's getting late. Are we going home?"

"Why are you going back? Let's find a place to eat and continue watching in the afternoon."

Liao Kai only comes here once a week, but he doesn't stay here for the whole day. The main reason is that he is at work the rest of the time and has no time to come here.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. It's already half past eleven. I think we should go eat something first and come back later."

"Okay, let's go, Uncle Liao will treat you to dinner today."

"Uncle Liao, do you have a ticket?"

"Yes! How could there be none? I exchanged some with others, so it's no problem for me to treat you to a meal."

If it was at home, it wouldn't matter what happened, but outside, Liao Kai would not let Li Jiayi, a child alone, treat him to a meal.

Can't afford to lose that person.

Soon the two found a restaurant. Although it was not big, it was state-owned.

"Uncle Liao, that's it!"

"can."

After the two came in, they found that there were already several tables of people, and these people, like them, were visiting the antique shop.

In a state-owned restaurant, no matter how small it is, you pay first and then eat. Only after paying can you place orders with the kitchen.

"Jia Yi, what do you want to eat?"

Li Jiayi thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Liao, just order whatever you want! I want braised pork, stewed chicken, and two vegetarian dishes. Rice is the staple food!"

Although Li Jiayi's voice was not loud, the restaurant was small to begin with! So everyone in the restaurant could hear his words.

Then they all looked at him as if he were a fool.

Even Liao Kai was speechless.

Others looked at Li Jiayi as if he were a fool, but not Liao Kai. The most he felt was helpless.

When Li Jiayi said to order whatever you want, he really meant to order whatever you want. The things he ordered might be hard to eat in the eyes of others, but to Li Jiayi, they were nothing.

"What's the matter, Uncle Liao?"

"Add one, change to something else!"

"Why? You don't have a ticket? It doesn't matter, I have some here." Li Jiayi took out a handful of tickets from his schoolbag.

"Put it away quickly. This is not because of the ticket. It's because what you said does not exist here at all."

"No! How is that possible!"

"It's true. We can't buy meat now. The same goes for restaurants. So we can only eat vegetarian dishes or vegetarian noodles."

"No!"

"real."

Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "Uncle Liao, if I bring my own meat, will they cook it?"

"Uh!" Liao Kai shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

"Uncle Liao, go ask. We'll pay the processing fee. It's best if you do it yourself."

"You little brat, I finally had a day off, and you asked me to help you cook."

"Hey hey hey."

"Wait a moment, I'll go ask."

"Ok!"

A few minutes later, Liao Kai came back, nodded to Li Jiayi and said, "They agreed that I can cook the dishes myself, but they also made a request."

"any request?"

"That means we need to help them buy five kilograms of pork. They won't let us help for free and won't charge any processing fees."

"That's it?"

"Yes."

"Uncle Liao, go tell them it's okay. I'll go get the meat from the tricycle."

"Ah! Have you sold it already?"

"Yes! And I bought a lot because I knew you would treat us in the evening." Li Jiayi said with a smile.

"I'll treat you tonight? What do you mean?"

"You'll know when we get back. I'll go get the meat first."

"Hey, explain it clearly, I..."

Unfortunately, Li Jiayi had already run far away.

He said he was going to get the meat from the tricycle, but Li Jiayi didn't go towards the tricycle at all.
