Chapter 285 You really dare to think
Chapter 285 You really dare to think
After breakfast, Ye Xin and Li Aimin rode their bicycles to work.
Li Jiayi and Li Jiaqi also packed up and went to school.
The school is a little far from home, much farther than from home to the woolen mill.
After arriving at school, Li Jiayi returned to the classroom. He left in a hurry yesterday and forgot to bring the materials to be translated back.
Just as the class had not started yet, Li Jiayi opened a few books and took a look. Feeling that they were relatively simple, he put them into his schoolbag.
In fact, it has been sent into the space and is on the eight-immortal table in the space cabin.
After a while, the bell rang and the teacher came in with the teaching materials. Today's class was Teacher Wang's.
To be honest, Li Jiayi still likes Teacher Wang’s class very much, because Teacher Wang’s Russian is much better than other teachers.
Teacher Wang has also been translating books for various factories and departments.
The day passed quickly, and after school Li Jiayi and his elder sister rode their bicycles home.
After arriving home, Li Jiayi said hello to his parents and went upstairs.
After locking the door from the inside, Li Jiayi also entered the space.
Just take out the letter paper and pen and start translating. This is extremely easy for Li Jiayi.
He only needs to read the book once, and the pen will start writing automatically. Of course, this is also because of his thoughts.
In less than half an hour, more than twenty sheets of letter paper were written. It was almost time for dinner, so Li Jiayi came out of the space.
Just as he thought, as soon as he came down from upstairs, his eldest sister and mother came into the house carrying food.
"Son, go wash your hands and eat." Ye Xin said.
"Mom, I've already washed it."
"I've washed myself! Then sit down and eat!"
"Ok!"
The dinner was very sumptuous, and all of it was Li Jiayi’s favorite food.
"Brother, do you have anything to do this Sunday?" the second sister suddenly asked.
"What for?" Li Jiayi asked puzzledly.
"If you have nothing to do, can you take us out to play?" the second sister asked while chewing on pork ribs.
"No, if you want to play, go out and play by yourself. I have other things to do."
How could Li Jiayi not know her? She pretended to be going out to play, but really wanted to buy something. As for why she called him, it was actually to find someone to pay.
If you want money, just tell me. I'm not unwilling to give it to you, so why are you holding me back?
"Oh, why do you have something to do every day?" asked the second sister.
"If I had nothing to do every day, you would be able to eat these things. I guess you wouldn't even be able to eat steamed bread."
Li Jiayi was not talking nonsense! Before the ration was reduced, she could only eat coarse grains.
The ration has been reduced so much in the past three years. If it weren't for Li Jiayi, she might not even be able to eat steamed corn bread.
"Uh!"
"Okay, girl, if you want to go out and play, just go out and play. Why do you have to drag your brother along?" Ye Xin said.
"Oh, got it."
Although Li Jialin was very dissatisfied, since her mother had spoken, she didn't dare to say anything.
After dinner, Li Jiayi said hello to his family and went upstairs.
Lock the door from the inside and then enter the space.
It was still early to go out, so he sat down to translate the book.
The translation took him until after nine o'clock in the evening, and he had almost finished translating the entire book.
After taking a look at his pocket watch, Li Jiayi put down the book and stretched.
Come out of the house, go through the daily routine, and when you think it’s almost done, come out of the space.
At this time, everyone in the family had already fallen asleep, so I tiptoed into the yard.
After thinking about it, he didn't drive the tricycle because it made too much noise at night, so he pushed a bicycle out.
He went through the back door, and by that time, the front door had probably been locked.
After leaving the yard, Li Jiayi ran towards the small courtyard west of the black market.
It just so happened that today I also happened to deliver meat and food to the black market.
Arriving at the courtyard, Li Jiayi took out the key and opened the door.
When he came into the house, he saw the eight-immortal table filled with all kinds of antiques, as well as a lot of large and small yellow croakers.
He delivers meat and food to the black market, and now he mainly wants to settle accounts with antiques. Of course, if there are yellow croakers of any size, he will also take them.
For example, today, antiques account for a large part, and large and small yellow croakers are only a small part.
Li Jiayi picked up the note and looked at it, then checked the number of antiques on the Eight Immortals Table, and put away the antiques and the large and small yellow croakers.
Lord Long hasn't given his little bastard any information yet, probably because he hasn't found it yet.
So Li Jiayi took out what was written on the note, locked the door and left.
When he got home, it was almost eleven o'clock. Riding a bicycle is not as fast as riding a tricycle!
The next day, I ate and went to school as usual. Because I was thinking about problems the whole time, I was a little inattentive in class.
Fortunately, he has good academic performance and the teacher won’t say anything to him even if he makes mistakes occasionally.
After returning home from school in the afternoon, Li Jiayi entered the space again to translate.
After dinner, I didn’t go into the space to translate, but said hello to my parents and rode my bike out.
He had something on his mind and couldn't calm down, so he didn't enter the space to translate.
It was still early at this time, so Li Jiayi rode his bicycle to Zhengyangmen.
Yes, he came out to drink.
In fact, there were quite a few such taverns in the imperial capital at that time, and there was one near Li Jiayi's home.
But he still came to Zhengyangmen, mainly because there were people he knew here.
He doesn’t know any other places!
Also, taverns sell on word of mouth, and many taverns don’t have a very good reputation.
To put it bluntly, it is adulteration, adding water to the wine.
Liao Kai likes drinking. When he was alone, he would not go to the nearby pub to drink. When he arrived at the pub, there were already a few people inside, but Li Jiayi didn't recognize any of them.
Several people he knew didn't come, including Niu Ye and Pian Er Ye.
"Give me a plate of peanuts and a pitcher of beer." After arriving at the counter, Li added some and took out fifty cents and handed it over.
"Okay, I'll get you a beer right away."
After finishing his beer, Li Jiayi found a table and sat down with peanuts in one hand and beer in the other.
"Mr. Li, when did you come here?" Just as Li Jiayi finished taking a sip of beer and put it down, Cai Quanwu came in from the back door, saw him and hurried over to ask.
"I just came over, want to sit down and have a drink together?"
"No need." After that, Cai Quanwu walked closer and whispered, "Come to the backyard after you finish drinking. I have something to tell you."
"Okay, I got it. I'll be there when I finish my drink."
"Ok!"
Then Cai Quanwu started to get busy.
After finishing a glass of beer, he wanted to order another one, but thinking that Xu Huizhen might have something to ask him, he didn't order it, but walked out of the back door to the backyard.
As soon as Li Jiayi entered, Cai Quanwu followed him to the backyard.
"Master Li, please."
"Ok."
When I came into the room, Xu Huizhen was indeed sitting at the octagonal table drinking tea. She was not surprised at all to see Li Jiayi come in.
Needless to say, Cai Quanwu must have told her, and she was waiting here on purpose.
"Master Li, please take a seat."
"Thank you!"
"Mr. Li, you are too polite. Please have some tea!"
"Okay." Li Jia nodded, then said, "I wonder what Manager Xu wants to talk to me about?"
"Master Li, I want to buy some meat and food."
"Oh!"
"But this time I'm not exchanging it with you. I'm buying it with money." Xu Huizhen said helplessly.
The reason why she was helpless was that she was afraid that Li Jiayi would not sell it to her, but she really needed it.
Li Jiayi thought for a moment and asked, "How much do you want?"
"That's a bit much. I don't know if you have ..."
"No problem, just follow the last price." Li Jia said without thinking.
"Thank you, Master Li."
She was really afraid that Li Jiayi would not sell it to her! Because she knew from Niu Ye that Li Jiayi was not short of money at all.
"I want one hundred kilograms of pork, and even better, pork fat. I also want two hundred kilograms of white flour and five hundred kilograms of cornmeal."
"Okay, let's do this. One hundred catties of pork, fifty catties of pork fat. I'll charge you fifteen catties of pork fat."
"thanks, thanks!"
"By the way, I'll charge you two yuan a pound for cornmeal. What do you think?"
"no problem."
Just kidding, at two yuan per pound she was really getting a bargain, because on the black market, a pound of cornmeal costs almost three yuan.
Even the cheapest one costs about two dollars and fifty cents, two dollars per pound, which is definitely the cheapest.
"It's settled. I'll deliver it to you tomorrow night. Just be ready to receive it."
"Okay, by the way, Master Li, I wonder if you can get a pig's head?"
"Pig head?"
Just kidding, there are so many pig heads in the space now that it’s hard to count them. You know, when he sells pork, except for the woolen mills and bakeries that sell whole pigs, the rest are sold after being slaughtered!
"Yes."
"What do you want the pig's head for?" Li Jiayi asked.
"It's like this. The tavern is doing very poorly right now, mainly because there aren't many dishes. You've been here a few times, so you should have seen that there are only pickles and peanuts."
"Would you like to get some pig's head, ears, and tongue to add to the tavern?"
"Yes."
"No problem! How much do you want?"
"I wonder how much Master Li will sell this pig head for me?"
"That's right, Manager Xu. The pig heads here are all relatively large. Each one weighs at least 17 or 18 kilograms."
"Ah! That big?"
"Yes, so if you want it, this pig's head will cost at least sixty dollars."
"sixty?"
"Correct!"
"Yes, I want it."
Are you kidding? A pig's head weighing 17 or 18 pounds only costs 60 yuan. Anyone who doesn't want it is a fool.
Although pig heads are not as fatty as pork, she originally sold pig heads.
"How much?"
"Master Li, how many do you have?"
Li Jiayi smiled and said, "Manager Xu, forget about it. Not to mention you, even if you count all the taverns in the imperial capital, it's impossible for them to take all the pig heads from me."
"Ah! This..."
"Okay, just tell me how much you want and I'll bring it all over to you."
PS: Please give me a monthly ticket and recommendation ticket! Thank you!
