Chapter 257 New Way to Make Money
"I see! I thought you went upstairs to rest."

"Come here, brother, come and have some tea. I made a little too much tea, let's drink it together." said the second sister.

"Okay!" Li Jiayi wasn't polite.

More than half an hour passed as the three siblings drank tea and chatted, and at this time Li Aimin and Ye Xin came back from get off work.

"Mom and Dad, you're back?" Li Jiayi quickly stood up and asked.

"Well! You didn't go out today?" Ye Xin asked, touching Li Jiayi's head.

Before Li Jiayi could speak, his second sister Li Jialin rushed to say, "How could he not have gone out? He just came back early today."

"I see! I thought the brat didn't go out today."

At this time, Li Aimin came over and asked, "Son, did you say you were going to get some fish for the woolen mill last night?"

"Dad, he sent it over a long time ago. Uncle Liao shouldn't have come back with you, right?"

"Yes! Your uncle Liao did not come back with us."

"That's right, he didn't come back. I got a lot of fish for the woolen mill. He should be cleaning up the fish now!"

At this moment, Xu Wenwen came in from outside and asked, "Brother Li, sister-in-law, didn't Brother Kai come back with you?"

"Wenwen is here? It's like this, Jiayi sent a batch of fish to the woolen mill, and Xiaokai should be cleaning the fish in the factory now."

"Oh! I see!"

"Come in and sit down. It looks like Xiaokai might not be back until very late. You should eat with us tonight!"

"No need, sister-in-law, I can just make something myself."

"Hey, it's just a meal, why are you being so polite? It's settled. I'll go cook right away."

"Sister-in-law, there's really no need. I..."

Before Xu Wenwen finished speaking, Ye Xin interrupted her and said, "Wenwen! Just listen to me. It's not worth it for you to burn the pot alone."

"Okay! Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll help you cook! This way it will be faster."

"Okay, let's go!"

With Xu Wenwen's help, cooking was indeed faster, and dinner was quite sumptuous, with meat and eggs.

While eating, Xu Wenwen said, "Sister-in-law, I really envy your factory. You can often eat meat, and I think you will have fish tomorrow."

"Why, is the food in your factory cafeteria bad?"

Ye Xin knew that Li Jiayi had a good relationship with the bakery, and even Xu Wenwen's job was obtained by Li Jiayi and the bakery.

Since the relationship is so good, how could the son not provide pork or fish to the bakery?

Ye Xin was wrong about this. Li Jiayi did provide supplies to the bakery, but they were not meat or fish, but eggs.

But for bakeries, eggs are not food ingredients, but raw materials for production.

They wanted to eat it, but if they ate it, the bakery would have to stop production.

"Bad, very bad. Every meal is steamed corn bread. I've never seen white flour steamed bread. As for vegetables, it's either cabbage or radish."

Ye Xin turned around and looked at Li Jiayi and asked, "Son, what's going on? Don't you have a good relationship with the bakery? You've never sent them meat!"

"No." Li Jiayi shook his head and said, "Mom, you are wrong. I am not close to the bakery, but to the logistics director."

"Oh! So that's how it is!"

Li Jiayi touched his chin and said, "But it's not impossible to provide some meat or fish to the bakery."

Li Jiayi turned around and looked at Xu Wenwen and said, "Aunt, do you want to get promoted?"

"Ah! I've only been in the factory for a short time, so for now..."

"Aunt, don't worry about this. Ask Uncle Liao tonight who you need to find, and go find him when you get to the factory tomorrow. Just say we have meat and fish to supply to the canteen."

"Ah! This..."

Liao Kai knows better than Li Jiayi who to find!

When Li Jiayi supplied meat and other things to the woolen mill, he went directly to Liao Kai.

"Well, I'll ask your uncle Liao when he comes back."

"Ok!"

Li Jiayi didn’t know when Liao Kai came back, because he went upstairs to rest after dinner.

Silent all night.

After breakfast the next morning, Li Jiayi came out of the house and went to the yard first, where he put some peanuts, melon seeds and beef jerky.

Then wait for the fat man to come. The reason why he comes here every day is mainly to collect money.

More than half an hour later, the fat black man came over, collected the money his brothers made from yesterday's sales, and Li Jiayi left the yard.

It is already mid-March and the weather has gradually warmed up. Although it is still very cold in the mornings and evenings, the highest temperature at noon is already over 10 degrees.

Li Jiayi drove his tricycle to the embassy family quarters, parked the tricycle, and took out bags of apples and tangerines from the boxes.

A bag weighs five kilograms.

In fact, the price of fruit is not very high and cannot be compared with grain at all.

Let me put it this way! When the fruits were in season, one pound of fruits could not even be exchanged for one pound of cornmeal, let alone one pound of flour.

The main thing is that you can choose not to eat fruit, but you cannot choose not to eat meals.

Li Jiayi came here to sell fruits at this time, mainly because they were rare and valuable.

Yes, at this time, let alone the capital, I guess there aren’t many fruits for sale even in the south.

There were several kinds of fruits in the space, and he didn't take out all of them.

Because there is no way to explain it, for example, grapes, the reason why apples and tangerines were taken out was also carefully considered.

Sugar oranges are still available in some places in the south, and apples can be kept for a long time if they are stored properly. "Don't miss it if you pass by! Fresh apples and sugar oranges are only five dollars a bag, you won't lose money or be cheated."

When Li Jiayi shouted, many foreigners passing by looked over, including some who knew Li Jiayi.

You know, Li Jiayi sold juice here for the whole summer last year!

"Give me a bag of apples."

"I want a bag of tangerines."

Originally, Li Jiayi just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that fruit would be so popular in the imperial capital.

It's actually quite normal, these foreigners are different from Chinese people! They don't lack food.

And they don’t have to eat in rations like the Chinese do. There are grain and oil stores and supply and marketing cooperatives that specifically supply them.

These grain and oil stores and supply and marketing cooperatives have no restrictions on foreigners; they can buy as much as they want.

Similarly, although these places do not require tickets, they only charge US dollars.

This can be considered a special care for them!

They have no shortage of food, and fruit is very attractive to them, and foreigners prefer to eat fruit.

In the blink of an eye, the morning passed, and Li Jiayi couldn't remember how many bags of fruit he bought, but he knew he sold a lot.

The embassy family quarters are all inhabited by foreigners. As for how many foreigners live here, Li Jiayi doesn’t know, but he rarely sees Chinese people here.

Since there was nothing to do, he had no plans to leave.

When it was time to eat, Li Jiayi took out three lunch boxes.

There are three lunch boxes, two of them contain vegetables, and one contains rice.

There are two dishes, one is braised pork and the other is beef brisket stewed with tomatoes.

Because it was just taken out of a static space, it was still steaming and it was already quite warm at noon.

The food will not get cold as soon as it is taken out.

However, Li Jiayi still finished his meal quickly. After all, his food was so delicious that it would be embarrassing if others saw it.

Although you rarely see Chinese people here, there are still some. Occasionally, some Chinese people will pass by here.

There are also police patrolling here.

After finishing his meal, Li Jiayi put the lunch box into the space and sat on the tricycle to bask in the sun.

You know what, it was quite comfortable to bask in the sun that day. It felt warm on my body.

If Li Jiayi wasn’t worried about catching a cold when he fell asleep, he would really like to sleep for a while.

There's no way, mainly because it's noon and no one is out. I guess these foreigners are taking a nap at home at this time.

Around 1:30 in the afternoon, people started to come out one after another, and Li Jiayi started to shout.

Just then, two police patrols came over, they were also old acquaintances.

They saw Li Jiayi when they were patrolling in the morning, but there were many people buying things at that time, so they just took a look and left.

"How's your business going, kid?"

"Not bad, let's have some fruit." Li Jiayi pretended to take something out of the box and took out two apples.

"no, I'm fine."

"Don't be polite. I lack everything here except fruit." After saying that, he stuffed two apples into the hands of the two people.

"This……"

"Okay, it's just an apple. You don't need to wash my apple, you can eat it directly." After saying that, he took out one and took a bite.

In fact, Li Jiayi also likes to eat fruits, but he saw that there were too many fruits in the room, so he ate a little of this and tasted a little of that, and was almost full.

So normally you can't bear to see him eating fruit, because he spends most of his time eating in space.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome. If you want to eat fruit next time, just come over. I can't ask for anything else, but I'll give you plenty of fruit."

"Then we'll go on patrol first. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"no problem."

After the two police officers left, Li Jiayi started to greet customers.

Li Jiayi felt that selling fruits was much better than selling fruit juice.

Not only are there more people buying, but the sales are also higher!

Every person who comes here pays at least five dollars. Some people want both kinds of fruit, which costs ten dollars.

So Li Jiayi already has a plan, but for the time being he will just sell fruit for a few days.

Let’s first see if the situation requires adding anything.

He kept selling until dark, and only when there was no one left did Li Jiayi drive away on his tricycle.

And he didn't go home, but went to the small courtyard near the black market.

Today was the day to supply the black market, so he was selling until so late, otherwise he would have left long ago.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Li Jiayi took out the key, opened the door, and drove the tricycle in.

He locked the door from the inside and then entered the house.

Sure enough, there was a box of large and small yellow croakers, and a note.

The quantity requested this time is a lot, including 10,000 kilograms of pork, 2,000 kilograms of beef, and 1,000 chickens, ducks and geese each.
