Chapter 288 Conference, getting busier at this time

"What are you two talking about?" Ye Xin came in from outside and asked.

"Jiayi said that the meeting tonight will be about restoring the quota." Li Aimin said with a smile.

"Ah! Really?" Ye Xin looked at Li Jiayi and asked.

"It should be. Apart from this, there is nothing else worth holding a meeting to resolve."

It’s not like the past when there were old men. At that time, even the most trivial matter would require a meeting.

Ever since the old man disappeared from this hospital, there are fewer meetings in a year than in a month before.

Moreover, meetings are now only held when the street office has something to notify, and no meetings have ever been held regarding matters concerning the courtyard.

"Okay, forget about that, go wash your hands and eat." Ye Xin said.

"Oh!"

Li Jiayi agreed, came out of the house, and washed his hands at the sink.

When he returned to the house, the food had been prepared and he sat down to eat.

After the meal, neither Ye Xin nor Li Aimin wanted to move, so he knew that he had to go to the meeting again.

But this time, Li Jiayi didn't bring any peanuts, melon seeds, or spiritual tea, and he didn't even bring any stools.

Because he knew very well that this meeting would not last long and might be over in a few minutes. After all, there were so many courtyards in the entire street and they all had to be notified. If the meeting lasted for a long time, with so few people in the street office, it might take a month to finish it.

When Li Jiayi came out of the Moon Gate, he happened to meet Liao Kai carrying a bench out.

"Uncle Liao, why are you bringing a stool out again? We won't be open for more than a few minutes."

"Ah! Is this true?" Liao Kai asked in disbelief.

"Of course it's true. It will probably be over in three to five minutes." Li Jiayi shrugged.

"Then I'll put the stool back. Please wait for me."

"Ok!"

Liao Kai hurriedly took the stool home, and Li Jiayi stood beside the moon gate leading to the central courtyard waiting.

In less than a minute, Liao Kai ran out and said, "Let's go and see what the meeting is about."

"What else can I do? Just restore the quantity."

"Uh! Jiayi, are you serious?" Liao Kai turned his head and looked at him and asked.

"Well! There will be nothing else except this."

"All right!"

When the two men arrived at the middle courtyard, many people were already sitting there with benches or chairs.

The two men did not move forward, but just found a place to lean against the wall and wait.

"Give me one." Liao Kai took out a handful of peanuts from his pocket and gave half to Li Jiayi.

"Hey, Uncle Liao, why do these look like my peanuts?"

"Don't doubt it, just remove the question mark." Liao Kai didn't feel embarrassed at all.

"Uh! All right!"

Soon everyone in the hospital arrived, basically one person from each family. As for the others, many of them were probably already lying in bed.

After all, if you don’t move, you won’t be that hungry, and you won’t even know you’re hungry after falling asleep.

That’s how it is now. Basically after dinner, if there is nothing else to do, everyone goes to bed early.

It can be said that if you can avoid moving, then do so.

It’s not known when the people from the street office will come, after all, they still have to notify other hospitals.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long. In less than ten minutes, Li Jiayi saw Secretary Niu coming in from outside.

Yes, the one who came to their courtyard today to make the announcement was Secretary Niu. It can be said that all the street offices should be dispersed to pass on the policy announcement.

After Officer Niu came in, he walked directly to the Eight Immortals Table and said without a word, "The purpose of holding this meeting today is actually to inform everyone that starting from next month, everyone will resume their rations. In addition, everyone should not forget to take their household registration books to the grain station to apply for grain books."

Although food coupons will continue to be used in the future, the imperial capital will resume the use of food coupons.

"Secretary Niu, do you mean that the quantitative quota has been restored?" A resident asked again, perhaps suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

"That's right, but it will start from next month. As I said before, don't forget to apply for the food certificate, otherwise you can't blame me if you can't buy food next month."

"No, no, I will go and apply for the grain certificate tomorrow."

The three-year difficult period ended and the grain coupons began to be used again.

"Okay, I've already notified them. I'll leave first. I still have to go to Courtyard No. 6 to notify them."

As soon as Director Niu left Yard No. 7, the whole yard became filled with joy and everyone jumped for happiness.

"Oh, add one! You said to restore the quota, why not start from this month?" Liao Kai shook his head and asked.

"Uncle Liao, the grain hasn't been harvested yet! You know, the summer grain is basically harvested this month. If we restore the ration now, where will the grain come from?"

"Uh! That's right." Liao Kai nodded.

"Also, if you want to restore the grain certificate, you should know that you cannot use it in the month you apply for it. You can only use it in the next month."

"So this is ah!"

"Let's go, Uncle Liao, let's go back and make them happy."

To be honest, whether the quota is restored or not has nothing to do with Li Jiayi, and the same goes for Liao Kai.

After all, they were not short of food, and they even refused to eat many of the rations they were given.

"Hey, Uncle Liao, you're not going home?" Li Jiayi asked Liao Kai, who came to the East Cross Courtyard with him. "It's still early, I'll go have tea with your dad."

Li Jiayi curled his lips and said, "I think you are here to have some tea!"

"You kid, if you don't tell me, don't you know it?"

Li Jiayi shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Of course, he was joking. It wasn't the first time Liao Kai came to have free tea, so how could he not know.

"Are you back? Is it about resuming the ration?" Li Aimin asked as soon as the two entered the room.

"Yes, Brother Li." Liao Kai said.

"This kid is right." Li Aimin took out an enamel mug and poured a cup of tea for Liao Kai.

"That's right, when has Jiayi ever made a mistake?" Liao Kai said.

Li Jiayi also sat down and drank some tea, then went upstairs.

Downstairs, only Li Aimin and Liao Kai were still drinking, and he had no control over how long they would stop drinking.

After going upstairs, Li Jiayi entered the room, locked the door, and then entered the space.

It was still tomorrow's process. After completing the process, he went to the living room and began to translate the materials.

This is not the first batch! The first batch had already been translated, and Li Jiayi was paid more than 600 yuan.

Yes, the first batch totals more than 1.2 million words.

This batch is larger than the previous one, mainly because Li Jiayi translated quickly and well, so Teacher Wang gave him more.

Teacher Wang translated the more professional ones, and gave the simpler ones to him.

Li Jiayi doesn’t care!

For him, being able to get the money in the open is more important than anything else.

It is now June and the school holidays are not far away.

The holidays for technical secondary schools are similar to those for universities, starting around June 10th every year, which is much earlier than for elementary, junior high and high schools.

Li Jiayi is now thinking about what to do after the holiday.

He has no plans to sell juice this summer; there's absolutely no need.

As time went by, Li Jiayi originally thought that the rationing would be restored next month and the demand for food on the black market should decrease.

But this is not the case. The demand for food and meat on the black market has not decreased, but has increased a lot.

When this happened, Li Jiayi quickly understood what was going on.

In the past, no one dared to buy more snacks and meat because no one knew when the famine would end.

Always keep some money for emergencies!

Now it has been announced that the rationing will be restored next month. Everyone knows that the rationing will be restored next month, so why keep so much money?

So no matter what, you must eat well this month and not starve yourself.

There are many people who think this way, so the black market not only increased its purchase volume, but also saw prices rise instead of fall.

Of course, Li Jiayi did not raise the price, and still supplied grain and meat to the black market at the previous price. As for how the black market sold it, it had nothing to do with him.

Not only the black market, but also woolen mills and bakeries have increased their purchasing volumes.

This made Li Jiayi speechless, because he didn't have much meat left in his space, especially adult wild boars.

It’s not much, but it’s no problem if it only supplies woolen mills and bakeries.

The same thing happened with Master Wu, who also increased his purchase volume. However, what made Li Jiayi speechless was that these people no longer traded antiques to him, but instead all used large and small yellow croakers.

It’s not that these people are out of yellow croakers of all sizes, they just want to keep some for themselves. You know, these yellow croakers of all sizes are hard currency.

During the three difficult years, antiques were nothing, but now that it’s over, why keep these yellow croakers, big and small?

If you really want it, just wait for a while and go to the pigeon market or collect some in the future.

So Li Jiayi was particularly busy during this period. He was not only busy delivering goods after school, but also at night.

So, that evening, after delivering supplies to the black market, he rode his bicycle to the tavern.

The tavern now is different from before. There are now several more dishes and many people come here to drink every day.

There is no other way! Not only does this place have the tempting pork head meat, but also shredded pig ears and pork lips.

These are all great things to go with wine!
You can’t eat meat at home, you can’t eat meat at work, and you can’t even buy meat at all, but you can eat it in the tavern.

Under such circumstances, how could the tavern's business not be good?

So, Li Jiayi arrived a little late, and when he got here there was no empty place for him to sit.

"Come on, Master Li, come over here and squeeze in." Master Niu greeted him quickly when he saw him come in.

"A lot of cattle, I'll get some wine first."

"it is good."

Li Jiayi came to the counter, took out five yuan and put it on the counter and said, "Sister Yumei, give me two glasses of beer, and you can order the rest."

"Okay, bring the wine over first, and I'll serve you the side dishes."

"Okay." Li Jiayi agreed and came to Niu Ye's table with two glasses of beer.
