Chapter 225: Antique World Boss
Chapter 225: Antique World Boss
Li Jiayi found a deserted place and took out seven pounds of pork belly from the space.
Two pounds are used to make braised pork, and the remaining five pounds are sold to restaurants.
In addition, there was a chicken, some vegetables, and a pound of rice. Of course, it was not the rice produced in the space.
The time was too short and it was not possible to make rice immediately, so they had to eat rice from the restaurant. This pound of rice was for him and Liao Kai.
Even if they don't charge money, he can't let them suffer any loss. He is not that kind of person.
"Uncle Liao, I've got the things back, you can go and make them!" Li Jiayi said after returning to the restaurant.
"it is good."
Seeing Li Jiayi bringing back two pieces of pork, one large and one small, everyone, whether they were eating there or the waiters in the restaurant, were drooling.
This is pork! And there is so much of it, who wouldn't drool!
Although those who come to Liulichang to buy antiques seem to be quite wealthy, their money is useless! They can’t buy anything.
Even if you went to a meat stall with a meat ticket, you still couldn't buy meat because there were always people who had arrived earlier than you.
Liao Kai went in to cook, and Li Jiayi found a place to sit down and wait.
Because you don’t have to cook rice, you only need to make braised pork and stewed chicken, which is much faster.
In fact, the reason why it is so fast is that the restaurant has more stoves and can cook several dishes at the same time.
It’s not like cooking at home, where you have to do everything one by one, so it takes longer.
More than forty minutes later, Liao Kai and the waiter brought the food.
"Uncle Liao's food is still more delicious." Li Jiayi said after taking a sniff.
Everyone who came to the restaurant to eat was swallowing their saliva.
It's not just because the food is delicious, but mainly because of the meat. A large portion of braised pork is made with two pounds of pork belly.
There is also a whole chicken, you can imagine how tempting it is.
Just as the two were about to eat, a middle-aged man in his forties came in from outside.
Seeing the middle-aged man, Liao Kai quickly stood up and shouted, "Mr. Wu, come and have dinner too."
"It's Xiao Liao! Are you eating here too?"
"Yes, Mr. Wu, how about eating together?" Liao Kai knew that this was wrong, but he still said it, which showed that Mr. Wu had a high status.
However, when Liao Kai said this, he still winked at Li Jiayi.
Li Jiayi was so smart! He immediately understood what Liao Kai meant.
"Isn't this bad?" said Uncle Wu.
"Hey, what's wrong with that? There are only two of us, and we just happen to have more dishes to cook."
"Yes, let's sit down and eat together!" Li Jiayi said at this time.
"All right!"
Originally, Mr. Wu would not take advantage of this, but when he saw there was braised pork and stewed chicken, he agreed.
Because he hadn't tasted meat for more than a month, he was really craving for it.
After Master Wu sat down, Liao Kai quickly said, "Jia Yi, let me introduce you. This is Master Wu. He is well-known in the antique world of the imperial capital."
"Hello, Master Wu."
"Hello."
"Master Wu, this is Li Jiayi. He knows nothing about antiques, but he particularly likes them. Although he doesn't understand antiques, if you want to eat meat, he can get you as much as you want."
"Oh!"
Liao Kai's words aroused the interest of Mr. Wu. He was not short of money, nor even antiques, but he was really short of meat.
Li Jiayi understood at this time that Liao Kai had a purpose in asking Mr. Wu to sit down and eat with him.
Doesn't Li Jiayi like antiques? If he gets in touch with this Mr. Wu, he can have as many antiques as he wants!
"Little brother, is what Xiao Liao said true?" asked Uncle Wu.
"It's true." Li Jia nodded.
"Then I wonder if you can help me get some meat, don't worry, the money is easy to talk about."
Li Jiayi shook his head and said, "I'm not short of money, and I don't want money either."
"What does the little brother want?"
"Small or large yellow croakers, or antiques are also fine. Besides, what Uncle Liao said is not complete. If you need food, you can also come to me."
"What?" Uncle Wu looked at Li Jiayi in shock.
Meat is a little easier to deal with. It doesn’t matter if you don’t eat it for a few months or even a year, as long as you have food to eat. Therefore, grain is more precious than meat.
"Are you sure?" Mr. Wu asked again.
"Yeah!" Li Jia nodded.
"Okay, okay, little brother. I need some food and meat. Don't worry, whether you want big or small yellow croaker or antiques, it's no problem."
"Then I wonder how much Master Wu wants?"
"Of course the more the better."
Li Jiayi scratches his head every time he hears people say the more the better.
It was really difficult because he didn't know how much the more the better was.
Because he can get several thousand kilograms or even several hundred kilograms. Who can finish eating such a large amount?
"Master Wu, you'd better tell me the quantity, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to take it all if I send you several thousand kilograms."
"Ugh!" Uncle Wu was stunned for a moment. He heard something and suddenly got several thousand kilograms.
Let’s not talk about whether these thousands of kilograms are pork, even if they are grain, it would be a big deal!
"Little brother, can you give me 100 kilograms of pork and 200 kilograms of grain? White flour is best."
"No problem! This is not difficult at all for me."
"what!"
"Mr. Wu, don't worry, what Jiayi said is absolutely true." Liao Kai said quickly.
"Yes! I believe you, Xiao Liao." "Master Wu, you'd better write me an address, and I will send it to your home in the evening."
"Can it be delivered in the evening?" asked Uncle Wu in surprise.
He originally thought that Li Jiayi would need two days to prepare, but he didn't expect it to be delivered tonight.
"Master Wu, to tell you the truth, what you want is a little too little. I don't even need to prepare any."
"Uh! All right."
The three of them ate and chatted, and after the meal, Uncle Wu wrote an address for Li Jiayi.
Li Jiayi took a look and found this place very familiar to him. It was located on Shichahai Street, and there were many old courtyard houses in that area.
At this time, the restaurant manager handed over fifteen dollars, which was the money for them to buy meat.
After leaving the restaurant, Uncle Wu said, "Strange, why are they paying us when we come here to eat?"
"Mr. Wu, this is the case. The food we ate was prepared with ingredients from Jia Yi. Their restaurant also bought a few pounds of pork, so they paid for it."
"So that's how it is! In other words, they just processed it a little bit?"
"They didn't even process it because Uncle Liao prepared the meal himself."
"No wonder! I was wondering why the food today was so delicious. I thought they had changed the chef, but it turns out that you, Xiao Liao, cooked the meal yourself!"
Chef Liao Kai's identity was not a secret among the people they knew; basically everyone knew it.
In the afternoon, Li Jiayi and Liao Kai continued to go around, during which time Liao Kai spent fifty yuan to help Li Jiayi find a bargain.
A bottle worth five hundred yuan at this time, no wonder Liao Kai never spends a high price to buy antiques!
He bought an antique worth five hundred yuan for only fifty yuan, which gave him a great sense of accomplishment.
It's a pity that he doesn't know much about antiques, otherwise he would also like to enjoy this sense of accomplishment.
It was getting dark, and the two men drove the tricycle back home.
"Uncle Liao, please bring my aunt to my house." Li Jiayi said when Liao Kai got off the car.
"Okay, I'll call your aunt over right away."
"Ok!"
As soon as Li Jiayi returned home and parked his tricycle, Liao Kai came over with Xu Wenwen.
"Jia Yi, what's the matter that you asked me and your aunt to come over?"
"Uncle Liao, let's go inside and talk."
"it is good."
When the three people came to the main room, Li Aimin, Ye Xin, Li Jiaqi and Li Jialin were all there.
Ye Xin and Li Jiaqi were picking vegetables, apparently preparing to cook dinner.
"Xiao Kai, Wen Wen, come and sit down."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
After thanking him, Liao Kai looked at Li Jiayi and said, "Can you tell me now?"
"Yeah!" Li Jia nodded, took out a form from his schoolbag and placed it in front of Liao Kai.
"what is this?"
"You'll know once you take a look." Li Jiayi said.
Liao Kai quickly picked it up and took a look at it, then looked at Li Jiayi in surprise and said, "The employment form for the bakery?"
"That's right. You can fill in my name and go through the registration process tomorrow. It will be a formal employee. However, I just started working, so the salary is not high, only 27.5 yuan per month."
"You kid, this is not high enough? It's almost the same as my salary."
In fact, Liao Kai doesn’t care about salary at all. What he cares about is the status of a formal employee.
He never imagined that the thing that he had begged for help from everyone in the world but failed to get done was quietly accomplished by Li Jiayi.
And it happened in a place like a bakery. You know, in a bakery, the work of female comrades is very easy.
It is tiring, but the hard work is done by gay men.
"Jiayi, Uncle Liao wants to thank you! You really helped Uncle Liao a lot!"
"Brother Kai, can I go to work now?" Xu Wenwen asked.
"That's right. Not only can you start working, but you can also be a formal employee. Once you start working, you can apply for a household registration right away, and you will have a fixed quota next month."
"really?"
"of course it's true."
"That's great, I have a job too." After saying this, tears started flowing down.
"Oh! Sister-in-law, this is a happy thing, why are you crying?" Li Aimin said.
"Yes, Wenwen, you can't cry when you are happy." Ye Xin said.
"No, Brother Li, sister-in-law, I'm happy." Xu Wenwen said quickly, wiping away her tears.
"Jiayi, thank you, Auntie. I will remember you for the rest of my life. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would happen to me now."
Liao Kai nodded and said, "That's true. I also want to thank Jiayi."
"Yes! If it weren't for Jiayi, I wouldn't be able to marry Brother Kai, and I wouldn't be able to live such a stable life. Now Jiayi has helped me find a job."
Liao Kai turned his head and looked at Li Jiayi and said, "Tell me, kid, how can Uncle Liao thank you?"
"Uncle Liao, haven't you already thanked me today?"
"Uh! When?"
"You bought me an antique this afternoon!"
PS: Please give me a monthly ticket and recommendation ticket! Thank you!
