Chapter 241 A Group of People with Grandpa

You should know that there is no ration for eggs. Only families with pregnant women are given tickets for two kilograms of eggs every month, and those tickets are only given for half a year.

Before the hard times, if you wanted to eat eggs, you had to go to the pigeon market to buy them.

But there are no eggs for sale in the pigeon market now, so even if you want to buy them, there is nowhere to go.

"Yes, it is more than before." Li Aimin nodded, then looked at Li Jiayi and asked, "Son, did you do this on purpose?"

"What's intentional?"

"Of course it was Hai Dafu! You hit him on purpose!"

"How is that possible? It's just a coincidence." Li Jiayi said quickly.

"You little brat, what a coincidence! If you hadn't asked those three families to help, I would have thought you did it by coincidence, but now, I'm sure you did it on purpose."

Li Jiayi spread his hands and said, "You can think whatever you want, I just happened to catch up."

"Okay, if you say it's a coincidence, then it's a coincidence." Li Aimin didn't want to argue with Li Jiayi about this, it was meaningless.

Liao Kai then gave Li Jiayi a thumbs up and said, "You are good, kid."

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the twelfth lunar month. In this era, the winter vacation was relatively long, and the holiday started before the twelfth lunar month, and school started after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

It is basically March 1st of the Gregorian calendar, which is already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

It is just the beginning of the twelfth lunar month and it is already freezing cold outside.

Since the first snow, there have been several more snowfalls, but they were all relatively small.

This is good because Li Jiayi's sled can always be used. It is already the twelfth lunar month, and Li Jiayi plans to visit his master today.

Just after breakfast, Li Jiayi drove the sled out of the house and went straight to his master's house.

Although he had told his master last time that he would not send anything to his master's home until the Chinese New Year, he still felt uncomfortable if he didn't.

In less than ten minutes, Li Jiayi arrived at his master's house, jumped off the sled, went over, pinched the door knocker and knocked a few times.

The door opened quickly, and the person who opened it was of course his beautiful and lovely senior sister Li Wanyu.

"Sister."

"Junior brother, you are here, come in quickly." The senior sister opened the door.

"Wait a moment, Senior Sister. I'll get something."

"Ok!"

Master's family is not short of food now, so he did not send any food this time, but he brought a lot of meat.

There were 20 kilograms of pork alone, 10 kilograms of pork fat, two chickens, two ducks and two geese, and 10 kilograms of beef.

In addition to these, I also brought ten kilograms of peanut and rapeseed blended oil, five kilograms of sesame paste, and five kilograms of sesame salt.

Master likes to eat these more, nothing special, just they are delicious.

"Junior brother, why do you carry so many things?" Li Wanyu asked.

"Sister, isn't it almost New Year? You and Master should have something good to eat."

"We are already eating very well. Others can't even get enough to eat steamed bread."

Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "Others are others. They have nothing to do with us."

"All right!"

"Master, I'm here."

Seeing so many things in front of him, Li Shugen looked up at him and said, "You little brat, didn't you promise me last time that you wouldn't send anything before the New Year? Why are you bringing so many again?"

"Master, isn't the New Year coming soon? It's almost time to produce oil. I'm sending these to you for your use."

"You are talking nonsense, what time is it now? Whose family will produce oil just after the beginning of the twelfth lunar month?"

Normally, oil production occurs after the Little New Year, because after the Little New Year there are only a few days left until the Chinese New Year.

"Okay, Master, I've brought it here. You can't ask me to take it back!"

Li Shugen sighed and said, "Okay! Master, accept these things, but don't send me any more during the New Year."

"Master, how can that be possible? It's now, and it's Chinese New Year. Who wouldn't give something to their elders during Chinese New Year?"

"You brat."

"Okay, Master. I have to go somewhere else to deliver something. I'll come back and listen to your teachings when I have time."

"Okay, go away."

"Hey, I'll leave now."

After leaving his master's house, Li Jiayi drove the sled directly to the military compound.

Since it is not very far, we can get there quickly.

He had been to this place so many times that he didn't need to report to go in, and he could go in driving a sled.

After entering the military compound, Li Jiayi did not go to Lao Li's house first, but went to the service center first.

He wanted to buy some cigarettes and alcohol first. These tickets were from the old ones. Now Li Jiayi exchanged cigarettes and alcohol with the military compound, and they were all bought out. There was no need for him to come and buy more.

Five boxes of 25 bottles of Moutai and 100 cartons of Greater China cigarettes.

It cost Li Jiayi more than a thousand yuan to buy these things, and this did not even include the value of the tickets.

After putting the cigarettes and alcohol into the box, Li Jiayi went to Lao Li's house.

The New Year is coming soon, and people are moving around more frequently, so the door of Mr. Li's house is open.

Li Jiayi drove the sled directly into the yard. Fortunately, the snow in the yard was not cleared very cleanly, otherwise he would not have been able to drive it in.

"Xiao Li, how dare you still come?" Old Li came out of the house and asked.

"What's wrong, Lao Li?"

"How long has it been since the last time you came here?" asked Old Li.

"Uh!" Li Jiayi scratched his head. It was true! It had indeed been a long time since he had been here.

"Do you know, kid, that someone comes to my house every day, and it annoys me so much."

So that's why! No wonder Lao Li was so angry. If it happened to me, and someone bothered me every day, I would be angry too! "Okay, Lao Li, you know how to use words now?"

"Get out of the way. I already know how to use it."

"Okay, okay, you can use it well, right?"

"Okay, Xiao Li, stop talking nonsense." Old Li looked at Li Jiayi and asked seriously, "Before the New Year, can we exchange some food for you?"

"It is possible to get it, but we still need to count it first, otherwise it will be too messy."

"That's no problem! Let's do the statistics."

"Yeah! By the way, when counting, you have to collect the flour bags, otherwise I don't have that many bags."

"Okay, I understand this, is there anything else?"

"It's better to write the names on the flour bags. I will pack the food for them according to the statistics."

“This is even less of a problem.”

"That's all, just give it to me after you've counted it. It's the same as before. If there are too many, it may take several trips to deliver them."

"It's okay, don't worry."

It’s less than a month until the Chinese New Year, and everyone hopes to have more food at home.

"By the way, Lao Li, I brought you some things." After saying that, he opened the box and started taking out the meat.

Fifty kilograms of pork, twenty kilograms of beef, and two chickens, ducks, and geese each.

Yes, Li Jiayi did not give Lao Li any pork fat this time. With so much pork, there was a lot of fat alone, enough to make oil.

Of course, although it looked like a gift to Lao Li, in fact half of it belonged to Lao Zhao, and Li Jiayi didn't need to say anything about that.

In addition to these, there are also five kilograms of sesame paste and five kilograms of sesame salt.

"Xiao Li, okay, it hits the nail on the head." Old Li said carelessly.

"Is Xiao Li here?" Aunt Tian came out of the house.

"Yes, Auntie Tian."

After saying hello, Li Jiayi turned his head to look at Lao Li, then turned his head to look at Aunt Tian, ​​and then shook his head.

"What do you mean, kid?" asked Lao Li.

"Means nothing?"

"What do you mean it's not interesting?"

"You know what it means to plant flowers on cow dung."

"Go away."

After bringing everything into the house, Li Jiayi took out his pocket watch, looked at the time and said, "Old Li, you keep count first. I have something else to do. I'll come back this afternoon."

"What can you do now? I think you don't want to stay with me."

"Go away, I really have something to do."

In fact, Li Jiayi is very busy now. After the school holidays, peanuts, melon seeds and beef jerky are sold all day long.

It’s still the same as before, the little black fat guy Guo Detie is on duty, and Li Jiayi just needs to deliver the things over every day.

Because it was winter, he didn't need to deliver lunch at noon. He could just bring it over in the morning and heat it up on the stove and eat it at noon.

In addition to this, there is the black market. Now the black market demands goods more and more frequently, basically a delivery is required every two days, and the quantity is much more than before.

Of course, the price of delivery has also increased a little, but not much.

Li Jiayi just follows the market. He will not raise the price himself. It is always the black market that takes the initiative to raise the price.

The main reason is that they know very well that a capable person like Li Jiayi must not be offended or made enemies with.

Li Jiayi said he had something to do, which was true because he was going to meet Master Wu.

Yes, just meeting.

Li Jiayi got the news from Liao Kai that Mr. Wu wanted to see him.

"Okay! Go do what you need to do."

"Ok!"

After leaving Old Li's house, Li Jiayi rushed to Grandpa Wu's house.

When we arrived at Uncle Wu's house, we found that Uncle Wu was not the only one in the room, but there were more than a dozen people.

These people are about the same age as Master Wu, or only a few years older.

In the words of later generations, these dozen people were all big bosses.

This can be seen from the way they dress.

"Master Wu, I wonder what you want me to do?"

It is said that Master Wu's family is not short of food now! He just sent a lot of food half a month ago.

"Xiao Li, these are my good friends. They also want to exchange some food and meat from you. What do you think..."

"No problem! But the old rules apply. I don't want money. I just want yellow croakers and antiques."

"No problem, and with me here, no one will dare to fool you with fake goods."

Li Jiayi spread his hands and said, "I don't care. If there are fakes, just cut off the transaction. There is no shortage of these things in the imperial capital."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Master Wu nodded and said, "That's true."

"How about this, Master Wu? You count the number and I'll send it to you later."

"it is good."

"By the way, Mr. Wu, do you want to deliver it during the day or at night?" Li Jiayi asked.

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