Chapter 244 Important Transaction
The antique trust store is jointly run by the Foreign Trade Bureau and the museum, and there is only one in the entire imperial capital, which is located in Liulichang.

Antiques with research value will be placed in museums, while those without research value will be used by the Foreign Trade Bureau to exchange for foreign currency.

The next year or two will be very busy for antique trust shops, and of course, the same goes for trust shops.

Holding four pieces of antique porcelain, Li Jiayi came out of the trust store and glanced at his pocket watch. It was still early.

Li Jiayi was going to go to the Pigeon Market. There were a lot of people in the Pigeon Market now because the Chinese New Year was coming soon and everyone wanted to get some good things for the New Year.

Here comes Li Jiayi, ready to sell some pork.

In this way, not only can many families have meat to eat during the New Year, but he can also make some money.

Yes, Li Jiayi is short of money now because he needs to prepare for the next period of time.

After arriving at the Pigeon City, we stopped the sled at a random place and untied Asheng and the others from the sled.

Li Jiayi opened the box and shouted, "Don't miss it if you pass by. It's fresh wild boar meat."

"Wild boar?"

Many people were stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and ran over here.

"How much do you sell your wild boar meat for?" someone asked.

"Three dollars and fifty cents a pound, it's all three layers of meat, you can take a look." Li Jiayi picked up a piece of wild boar meat and showed it to everyone.

"Are you sure this is wild boar meat? Why does it look fatter than domestic pork?"

"I can confirm that this is wild boar meat, because the young comrade who sells the meat is familiar to many people in Pigeon City."

"Yes."

Those who say these things are basically people who have bought his pork.

"Then I want five pounds."

"Sorry, the supply is limited today. Each person can only buy two kilograms at a time. If you want to buy more, you can only queue up again."

Li Jiayi knew that it was impossible to queue up again because there were too many people. If he finished buying things in front and then queued up again, he didn't know how long he would have to wait.

The reason why he did this was just to sell it to more people, but in fact he still sold that many.

"Then I want two pounds."

"okay!"

Li Jia took the seven yuan handed over by the other party and handed over two pounds of meat.

Yes, the current price of pork in Gezi City is RMB 3.5 per pound, and it is not that Li Jiayi deliberately raised the price.

But even so, there is still no demand for the meat, which means that if you are not lucky, you can't buy the meat at all.

Moreover, the wild boar meat sold by others is real wild boar meat, which not only has less fat but also tastes bad.

The wild boar meat he sold was all castrated and very large. Apart from having two tusks, the boar was basically no different from a domestic pig.

Let me put it this way, even if Li Jiayi sold the pork at four yuan a pound, people would still rush to buy it.

At least the pork he sells is much better than the wild boar meat sold by others.

"I want two pounds too."

"And I."

"Please don't crowd, line up and come one by one. Please rest assured that the supply is limited so that everyone can buy it."

"Yes, yes, let's line up and don't squeeze, otherwise it will be even slower."

"Yes, everyone is lining up."

"Here, please take your two pounds of meat."

"You walk slowly."

"Here you go."

"okay."

Li Jiayi is so busy! It would be great if someone could help him, but he knew that this was impossible.

For now, apart from his family, there is no one he completely trusts.

The eldest sister is a suitable candidate, but his secret cannot be known to anyone, which makes it a bit difficult.

Except for the half hour for lunch at noon, Li Jiayi stayed in the pigeon market the whole time.

He didn't leave even though there was no one around at noon.

It was not until half past four in the evening, when it was almost dark, that he drove his sled home.

In just one day today, Li Jiayi sold more than 10,000 kilograms of pork and earned nearly 50,000 yuan.

After breakfast the next morning, Li Jiayi came to Uncle Wu's house this time.

It must be Li Jiayi. Uncle Wu must be so happy.

"Xiao Li! I've found a house. I'll take you there later."

"Oh! Where?"

"It's not far from here, in an alley. Don't worry about the location. It's very hidden."

"That's good."

"By the way, there are only three houses in that alley, one of which is occupied, and the other two are empty. I chose the empty one in the middle."

"can."

For him, it doesn't matter how many families there are, he just needs a place to put his things.

It’s okay as long as it’s relatively hidden. It’s winter now and there are basically no people around at night.

It is also more convenient for Uncle Wu and his men to transport food back home.

"Master Wu, in this case, let's go over and take a look now!"

"Don't you take a break?"

"No, I have something else to do later."

"Okay then. I'll take you there right away."

Uncle Wu led the way, and soon the two of them arrived at the place. It was just as Uncle Wu said. This place was very secluded, not only the house was secluded, but also the alley.

And this place is not far from Uncle Wu’s house, only about 500 meters at most.

After Uncle Wu opened the door, Li Jiayi discovered that this was actually a courtyard house with two entrances.

Moreover, there was no one living there, which surprised Li Jiayi. You know, housing supply in the imperial capital is very tight.

Many families are crowded into one room, but here there is a courtyard with two entrances that is uninhabited.

I heard from Uncle Wu before that among the three courtyards in this alley, only one is occupied.

In other words, this is not the only courtyard with two entrances where no one is living. There is at least another courtyard where no one is living.

"Xiao Li, are you satisfied with this place?"

"Master Wu, I am very satisfied with the place, but I wonder how much it would cost to rent it?"

"for free."

"for free?"

Master Wu nodded and said, "Yes, it's free. The owner of this house is also the one who wants to exchange food for you. He knows you are looking for a house to store food, so he provides this place."

"Master Wu, it's not good not to pay, right?"

"What's wrong with that? You rented the house because of us. So, the house should be rented by us."

"This……"

"Well, it's not a big deal, let's not worry about it."

Hearing what Master Wu said, Li Jiayi thought about it and realized that no one, whether it was him or Master Wu and his people, cared about this little money.

It would be a bit hypocritical to care about it anymore.

"Okay! That's it."

"now it's right."

Next, Uncle Wu took Li Jiayi around the yard, then handed Li Jiayi a key and left.

After Mr. Wu left, Li Jiayi did not stay long. He locked the door and left.

It was still early, so Li Jiayi drove his sled to the pigeon market outside Deshengmen.

He was selling pork outside Jianguomen yesterday, and today he plans to go to Deshengmen.

Li Jiayi stayed here the whole day and did not return to the city until dark.

However, he did not go home, but went to the courtyard house with two entrances that Uncle Wu had found for him.

After arriving here, Li Jiayi took things out of the space according to the list provided by Master Wu.

This was the first time a transaction was conducted here, and Li Jiayi knew that it would probably not be concluded in a short time.

So I took out some food from the space, braised pork, beef brisket stewed with tomatoes, tofu with green onions, and the staple food was of course rice.

After dinner, Li Jiayi brewed a cup of tea and drank it in the living room.

It was not until after seven o'clock that Uncle Wu came over, and by this time, it had been about two hours since dark.

There are probably not many people on the street, otherwise Mr. Wu wouldn't come here at this time.

"Is this ready?" Grandpa Wu asked, looking at the food and meat placed in the living room.

"Yes, according to the list you gave me."

Li Jiayi handed the list to Master Wu and said, "The items are all here, you can divide them up. I'll provide the bags this time, but next time you'll need to bring the bags in advance."

"Yeah! It should be."

"Oh, Master Wu, I'll leave the yellow croakers with you first. I'll come to your house to get them later."

Originally, Li Jiayi planned to finish the transaction before leaving, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was totally unnecessary. It would be enough to let Mr. Wu help him collect the money. Besides, he would still have to take orders from Mr. Wu in the future.

"Xiao Li, leave this to me, don't worry, you can just come to my house to pick it up tomorrow."

"Ok!"

Even though this is a personal transaction between Mr. Wu and Li Jiayi, he takes it very seriously because most of his antiques in the future might be obtained from here.

Let me put it this way! Even if he lost the client of Black Market Long Ye, he would never lose the client of Wu Ye.

After explaining some things to Mr. Wu, Li Jiayi left.

When he returned home, everyone in the family had already gone to bed.

It’s already this late, he doesn’t want to go to the sauna. If he does it alone, he has to do it all over again. He might as well take a bath in the space later!
He went upstairs, entered the room, locked the door, and Li Jiayi entered the space.

In the next few days, Li Jiayi kept selling pork in the Pigeon Market.

Of course, a lot of money was also sent to the Shichahai Police Station and the Fenju Bureau, as well as the Woolen Mill.

With the Chinese New Year less than half a month away, Li Jiayi prepared to visit his grandmother's house, and this trip might be the last one before the New Year.

I guess the next time I will go there will be after the Chinese New Year. It will be a perfect time to go there and deliver some New Year goods to my grandma's and uncle's houses.

After getting up early in the morning and having breakfast, Li Jiayi prepared the sled after his parents went to work.

He didn't prepare a big sled for the trip, so he prepared a small sled.

The small sled is light and fast, and on the road, Asheng and the others can take turns pulling it with the gray wolfdog.

Because the weather was too cold, even if he was wearing a down jacket and a leather jacket, he would still be cold when running, so he did not let his eldest sister and second sister follow him.

There was a light snowfall two days ago, and the road was quite slippery, otherwise he would have driven his tricycle there.

In that case, there would be absolutely no problem bringing my elder and second sisters along. Don't forget that Li Jiayi also has an enclosed carriage with glass.

It’s a pity that it snows frequently in winter these days, so this thing is basically useless.

A tricycle can only be used if it can be driven! If a tricycle cannot be driven, what is the point of using it?

"Sister, I'm leaving. If I don't come back at night, I'll stay at grandma's house."

　PS: Please give me a monthly ticket and recommendation ticket! Thank you!
