Chapter 243: Over One Million

Sweet potato noodles are high in starch and can satisfy your hunger, but they are not really delicious. At least they are far inferior to the red-fleshed sweet potatoes.

The woman probably wanted to buy the red-fleshed sweet potatoes to improve the taste, not to fill her stomach.

"Is that so? All right then! I'll look somewhere else."

Sweet potatoes are also sold in Pigeon Market, but the quantities are very small, some weigh a few kilograms, and some weigh dozens of kilograms.

But the price is not cheap. A pound of sweet potatoes is four or five cents more expensive than here.

"Come on, everyone, come and have a look. Although these sweet potatoes are not as sweet as the red ones, they have more starch and are more filling."

"Here, I want fifty kilograms."

"I want 50 kilograms too."

"Give me a hundred pounds."

"Huh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he saw someone buying 100 kilograms since he started selling sweet potatoes.

I turned around and looked over, and immediately understood what was going on.

Although this man looks thin, he is actually very tall. If it weren't for his age, he should look very strong.

"Okay, here's your hundred kilograms." Li Jiayi took out a large net bag containing one hundred kilograms from the space and handed it over.

One bag is much easier to carry than two bags, and you can even carry it on your shoulders.

Fuxingmen is located in the west of the city, where most ordinary families live. Of course, even in the poorest places there are wealthier families, such as the woman who wanted to buy red-fleshed sweet potatoes.

Of course, most of them are ordinary people, so selling sweet potatoes here is faster than at Deshengmen and Jianguomen.

Because basically everyone here buys it.

Let me put it this way, Li Jiayi sells sweet potatoes at the Pigeon Market outside Deshengmen, and almost 50% of the people who come to the Pigeon Market will buy his sweet potatoes.

Go to the Pigeon Market outside Jianguomen, and 65% of the people who come to the Pigeon Market will buy it.

Here, at least 90 percent of the people buy his sweet potatoes, which also shows which places have rich people.

Of course, the west of the city is not the poorest place. The poorest place should be the south of the city, which is where people go to Yongdingmen Pigeon Market.

After selling sweet potatoes here for a whole day, Li Jiayi didn't know how many he had sold.

However, those who bought sweet potatoes can alleviate the food shortage for at least the next month.

However, he also knew that only a few people came to Pigeon City after all, so it was just luck if he met one, and there was nothing he could do if he didn't meet one.

And he will only sell here for one day, and will go to Yongdingmen tomorrow.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. Ye Xin got up early in the morning to cook Laba porridge.

This day is also the time for pickling Laba garlic, so both the eldest sister and the second sister got up early to pick garlic.

Only Li Jiayi doesn't need to do anything, and can even do whatever he wants.

After eating Laba porridge, Li Aimin and Ye Xin still have to go to work.

The fireplace in the room was already lit, and Li Jiaqi and Li Jialin were reading books in the room.

As for Li Jiayi, of course he drove the sled out of the yard.

He is going to Uncle Wu's house today. Now many people are exchanging food and meat from him through Uncle Wu.

Ten minutes later, Li Jiayi arrived at the place.

"Come in quickly." Hearing the knock on the door, Uncle Wu opened the door and said immediately when he saw it was him.

"Ok!"

Li Jiayi drove the sled into the yard.

"Xiao Li, take a look. This is what they want. When can you get it?"

Li Jiayi took it, looked at it and said, "Master Wu, I can send these things over at any time, but your place is not safe."

"what's wrong?"

"Master Wu, think about it! With so many people coming in and out every day, it may not be a big deal in the short term, but it will definitely attract other people's attention over time."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Master Wu thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "You are right."

"So, Master Wu, don't worry about these things. I plan to rent a relatively secluded courtyard. I'll put the things in there, and then you can find a way to get them at night."

Master Wu nodded and said, "That's a good idea."

As for how they would transport so much food back, there was no need to worry at all. People like them had large families and businesses, so it was easy for them to transport some food back home without anyone noticing.

"By the way, you said you wanted to rent a secluded courtyard. Leave this to me!"

"Uh! Master Wu, do you have a yard like this?"

Uncle Wu smiled and said, "I don't have it, but someone does! Give me a day and I'll find a place."

"Okay, then I'll go back first and come back tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

Li Jiayi didn't stay at Uncle Wu's house for long before he left and wandered aimlessly on the street.

Anyway, he had a sled and didn't need to walk himself.

Before he knew it, Li Jiayi arrived at the front door.

Now that he was here, Li Jiayi stopped and walked into a trust store.

This trust store in Qianmen is the head office of all trust stores in the capital. It is not only large in size, but also contains a lot of things.

Now that I'm here, I have to go in and take a look! See if there is anything I want.

This trust store is divided into the first and second floors, with an area of ​​no less than 800 square meters on each floor.

In later generations, such a large area may not be considered a big deal, but in this era, it is definitely very large.

You have to know that this is an old house! It has a history of at least several hundred years. I don’t know what it was used for before. After entering, there are a wide variety of goods. The first floor is for large items, such as furniture, bicycles, sewing machines, etc.

Of course, all of them are second-hand, either collected by trust stores or consigned here by others.

He was not interested in anything on the first floor except the old furniture.

Moreover, these old furniture are too large and inconvenient to transport, so he is not considering it for the time being.

But after Master Wu finds a yard with a place to put these things, he may consider it.

So he didn't stay on the first floor and went straight to the second floor.

The second floor is full of small items, most of which are various antiques, as well as watches, radios, and some household items.

Trust store! Anything usable can be sold here, including old clothes and shoes.

Of course, the premise is that it can still be worn.

Li Jiayi went to the watch area first and saw that there were really quite a few good things. It would be too conspicuous if he bought so many good things all at once.

"Hello! Take out this, this, and this for me to see." Li Jiayi picked out a few Patek Philippe watches and said to the salesperson.

"Ok."

Soon three watches were placed in front of Li Jiayi.

I picked up a piece and looked at it carefully. Apart from some signs of use, it is quite perfect.

Then I put it down and picked up another piece to look at it, and there was still no problem.

“You have some really nice watches here!”

"Of course, defective watches are not put here. There is a counter inside where defective watches are placed."

"So this is ah!"

Li Jiayi thought these watches had been repaired, but it seems not.

Come to think of it! If these watches are not original, they have basically lost their value.

Therefore, a trust store would not be stupid enough to replace parts or even assemble several identical broken watches into one.

"I want all three. How much?"

The salesman took the abacus, calculated, and said, "The total is seven hundred and two."

"Seven hundred and two! Then take out these and let me see them." Li Jiayi pointed at three Patek Philippe watches and two Vacheron Constantin watches and said.

"Ok."

I checked these five watches carefully and found no problems either.

"I want them all, let's settle the bill!"

"Ok."

There was another round of crackling, and the salesperson looked up at Li Jiayi and said, "A total of two thousand one hundred and sixty."

"Well! Open the tickets!"

"Ok."

It is more troublesome to issue invoices. Not all watches are issued together, but one invoice is issued for each watch.

This wasted a lot of time.

Fortunately, there were only eight watches in total. Ten minutes later, the tickets had been issued and Li Jiayi took the tickets to pay.

As for where the money comes from, it is of course from his versatile schoolbag.

After paying the money and getting the stamp, Li Jiayi took it back to get the form.

After putting the watch into his schoolbag, Li Jiayi came to the antiques again.

There are so many antiques here, and the prices are not cheap. Similarly, the value of these antiques is also very high.

Li Jiayi selected four pieces of porcelain worth between five hundred and six hundred yuan. These pieces of porcelain are also the most valuable here.

Since I couldn't buy them all at once, of course I would pick the expensive ones. As a result, I spent more than two thousand yuan.

After operating for such a long time, Li Jiayi still has a lot of money in his hands, with more than one million in cash in the space.

The reason why he has so much is that he spends too much money and often goes to trust stores or antique trust stores.

Otherwise, the money in Li Jiayi's space now is definitely not less than three million.

Although he traded with Mr. Long and Mr. Wu in the black market for large and small yellow croakers, when he went to the Pigeon Market to sell pork and sweet potatoes, it was all in cash!

In addition, he also accepts cash when selling peanuts, melon seeds and beef jerky.

In fact, there was more than that. He also sent wild boars to the woolen mill and eggs to the bakery, and received cash in return.

So Li Jiayi is definitely a wealthy man now.

But he is really ruthless in spending money! This one million seems like a lot, just like today, he spent more than four thousand at once, how long will this one million last for him?

So he is very short of money now.

Let’s put it this way, if he wanted to, he could go to all the trust stores in the imperial capital, and he would probably be out of money.

The most urgent task is to make more money, so that he can buy a large number of antiques from the antique trust store in the next period of time.

Because the days ahead will be even more difficult, some families are in urgent need of money and will take their antiques to trust stores or antique trust stores to exchange them for money.

Also, although trust stores and antique trust stores may look similar, they are actually not the same.

Trust stores, like supply and marketing cooperatives, belong to trust banks under the Commercial Bureau.
