Chapter 280: The Tavern at Zhengyang Gate

There are quite a few items that cost more than two hundred yuan, about a dozen in total, the cheapest one is two hundred yuan, and the most expensive one is five or six hundred yuan.

And that doesn't even include the pair of bottles.

The shopkeeper took all of these to the counter, asked Li Jiayi to look through them, and then asked, "Master Li, do you want to issue the invoice now?"

"open it!"

"okay."

After Li Jiayi got the ticket and saw the number on it, he didn't feel anything.

In the past, he would feel it was a lot if he spent two or three thousand yuan, but now he doesn’t even react if he spends three or four thousand yuan.

"Pack it up for me! I'll pay for it."

"Okay, Master Li."

Li Jiayi came over with the ticket to pay, and happened to meet Niu Ye who was coming out to get the money.

The place where he paid was not the same as the place where Niu Ye collected the money. One was at the cashier counter and the other was inside.

"Master Niu."

"Master Li."

"Master Li, have you chosen the items?" Master Niu asked when he saw Li Jiayi holding the payment slip.

"Yes."

"Those are your business."

"Ok."

Li Jiayi took the bill to the cashier and handed it over directly.

The cashier was a pretty girl who knew Li Jiayi, mainly because Li Jiayi spent a lot of money here.

Seeing Li Jiayi coming over, he smiled and said, "Come to buy things again!"

"Yeah!" Li Jiayi also nodded with a smile.

The salesman took an abacus and calculated, and said, "The total is three thousand eight hundred and five."

"Okay." Li Jiayi hurriedly took money out of his schoolbag.

He took out four bundles in total, and took out fifteen cards from the last bundle and handed them over.

Such a large amount of money would be a huge sum for anyone else, but to Li Jiayi, it is nothing.

Soon the salesperson finished counting the money and said, "Just right."

Then he stamped it and handed the ticket to Li Jiayi.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

Looking at Li Jiayi's back as he left, the salesperson sighed and shook his head.

It’s a pity that the age difference is too big, otherwise it would be so nice to find a partner like this, and I would never have to worry about money again.

Back at the antique counter, the shopkeeper and the salesperson had already packed all the antiques.

Li Jiayi handed over the ticket, but when he saw the seal on it, the shopkeeper gave it back.

With the help of the shopkeeper and the salesperson, these antiques were quickly placed on Li Jiayi's tricycle.

"Boss, see you next time."

"Okay, Master Li, take care."

Li Jiayi started the tricycle and left quickly.

Then we went to the next trust store.

How could Li Jiayi go back before all the money was spent? You know, he earned a lot this week!
Not to mention the dozen or so wild boars he sent to the woolen mill, he also sent a lot of eggs to the bakery.

In addition, there is the money my brothers made from selling peanuts, melon seeds, and beef jerky. Adding all these together, it amounts to tens of thousands of yuan!

If you don't spend it now, after a while, you can only buy half of what you have now with this money.

Can't even buy half of it.

The biggest possibility is that he simply can't buy anything. Yes, even if he has money, he has no place to spend it.

With the rationing restored and the price of grain also recovered, who would be willing to sell their antiques?
I went to two more trust stores and it was already noon when I finished shopping.

Li Jiayi did not go back either. Instead, he found a small forest, drove his tricycle into it, and entered the space to eat.

After eating, he took a nap in the space. When he woke up, it was already afternoon.

Then go find a trust store.

After an afternoon, Li Jiayi finally spent all the money he had in Nancheng.

Of course, that wasn't quite accurate, he still had some money, just not enough to go to another trust store.

On the way back, Li Jiayi thought about it and turned to Zhengyangmen again.

Since he had met Niu Ye, Li Jiayi planned to go and take a look, wondering if there really was a tavern here.

If there is, he still has some business to do.

But he knew that the liquor in the tavern was all authentic Niulanshan Erguotou!

You can definitely buy some of this stuff. Even if you don’t drink it yourself, you can give it to the old man.

The old man was reluctant to drink the good wine he brought to him, but he would definitely drink this jar of Erguotou!

Arriving at Zhengyangmen, Li Jiayi drove his tricycle and started to look around. Soon he saw the sign of the tavern.

I didn’t expect it really exists!
It was already around seven o'clock and the tavern had already opened.

Li Jiayi drove the tricycle to the right side of the tavern entrance, stopped, locked the tricycle, and went straight in.

Maybe he came early, there were only three people in the tavern when he came in.

Of course, this refers to the people who came to drink. After looking around the tavern, they did not see anyone who fit the role of the heroine.

Maybe the tavern didn't have anyone of Li Jiayi's age coming in! So when he came in, everyone looked at him. At this time, a simple and honest middle-aged man came out, also glanced at Li Jiayi, and then sat on a bench next to the counter.

Seeing this middle-aged man, Li Jiayi smiled.

Damn, isn't this Cai Quanwu? It couldn't be anyone else but him, because he is so recognizable.

Li Jiayi came to the counter. The middle-aged woman behind the counter glanced at him and asked, "Would you like a drink?"

"Any beer?"

Li Jiayi remembered very clearly that beer was sold in the tavern. He would not drink white wine now, but it was okay for him to drink some beer.

"Have."

"Give me a drink, and what other side dishes do you have?"

"Only peanuts and pickles."

"Uh!"

Li Jiayi remembered it very clearly that there were several kinds of side dishes here, but he quickly realized that this was the three difficult years!
"Then give me a plate of peanuts. Can I bring my own?"

"casual."

"okay."

He was charged fifty cents in total for a glass of beer and a plate of peanuts.

How can I put it! If it were any other time, this price would definitely be considered ridiculously expensive, but at this time, it can be said that it is not expensive at all.

After all, beer is made from grain! And peanuts are also in short supply.

Li Jiayi felt a little regretful that he didn't see the tavern's owner, Xu Huizhen.

Speaking of Xu Huizhen, she is also a character! Even the three difficult years did not have a big impact on her.

And there was still enough food left to support her ex-husband, now her brother-in-law and his family.

At this time, she seemed to have already married Cai Quanwu, and it seemed that it was Cai Quanwu who first supported her sister's family.

Li Jiayi put beer and peanuts on an empty table and came out of the tavern.

He took the tricycle for a spin and then went back into the tavern carrying three lunch boxes.

Since you come here to drink, you can't go home for dinner. In this case, you can just eat while drinking.

Three lunch boxes were brought in and placed on the table, and then opened, but only two of them were opened.

Because the other one contains rice, and I'm still drinking, so of course I won't eat the rice.

There were two opened lunch boxes, one contained braised pork and the other contained pig's head, which was just right for drinking.

As soon as he opened it, everyone in the tavern started swallowing their saliva.

I can't help it! This is too delicious, mainly because of the meat.

The three people who were drinking before stopped drinking at this time and all stood up and looked over here.

Even Cai Quanwu, who was sitting on a bench, stretched his head to look over here.

"Young comrade, are you going to sell this meat?" A middle-aged man who came here to drink came over and asked.

Judging from the way this middle-aged man is dressed, he should be someone who has plenty of money.

"Sorry, no, this is my dinner." Li Jiayi shook his head and said.

"All right!"

After that, Li Jiayi ignored others and started eating the meat with sips of beer and bites of meat, occasionally throwing a peanut into his mouth.

Li Jiayi did this on purpose, of course! Because he knew someone would come looking for him soon.

Sure enough, just after he took a few sips of beer, Cai Quanwu ran into the backyard.

Although Xu Huizhen and Cai Quanwu are quite capable, they cannot get the meat at this time.

All I can say is that there was enough food, and that was because Cai Quanwu used to work at a grain station and also knew some people on the black market.

Sure enough, a woman in her thirties soon came in from the back. How can I describe her appearance? She was just average, but she looked very smart.

Needless to say, this person is Xu Huizhen, the owner of the tavern.

Although the tavern is now a public-private partnership, both the public and private managers are all family members.

"Are you eating, little brother?" Xu Huizhen walked over and asked with a smile.

"Yeah! What's up?"

Looking at the braised pork on the table, Xu Huizhen swallowed and said, "Can I discuss something with you?"

"Oh! What do you want to discuss with me?" Li Jiayi asked with a smile.

"It's like this, the kids at home haven't seen oil and water for a long time. Can you sell me this braised pork? I'll pay for it." After saying that, he quickly took out two big black tens from his pocket and put them on the table.

Otherwise, Xu Huizhen could achieve great things. How much is this box of braised pork? People directly took out twenty yuan.

"But I still need to eat! Let's put it this way, the child wants to eat meat, right? You call the child out to eat with me, and forget about the money."

"Ah! Isn't this bad?"

"What's wrong with that? If you want to eat it, I definitely won't agree, but it's okay for children."

"Thank you!" After saying that, Xu Huizhen went into the backyard and soon brought in two little girls.

There were two little girls, one looked eight or nine years old, and the other was only five or six years old.

Seeing these two little girls, Li Jiayi felt that he was careless. He thought they were just one!

If there are two of them, he probably won't have a chance to eat. He doesn't know if the meat is enough for both of them.

But Li Jiayi couldn't take back what he had said! At worst, he would just not eat it and go back home to eat it in the space.

"Please bring a bowl and two pairs of chopsticks." Li Jiayi looked up and said to Xu Huizhen.

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