Chapter 314: Meeting and exchanging compliments (-word chapter)

"Come on, Xiao Li, try Master Nan's cooking."

"Okay, eat them all."

Li Jiayi is not a person who eats alone! Especially when it comes to delicious food, he wants to share it with everyone.

To be honest, the ingredients used in Nan Yi’s cooking are very ordinary, but the dishes they make taste really good.

Even if it's not as good as Liao Kai and He Yuzhu, it's not much different. Don't forget that Nan Yi only uses the most common ingredients.

The taste of the two meat dishes is slightly better. To be honest, even Liao Kai and He Yuzhu can’t make the most ordinary ingredients into this.

Li Jiayi served himself a small bowl of wild vegetable soup, took a sip, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's delicious, Master Nan, your cooking skills are great."

It was indeed delicious. Even in his previous life, he had never tasted such delicious vegetable soup, let alone one made from wild vegetables.

"Thank you!"

It was delicious. Li Jiayi didn’t eat much because he had eaten too much at noon, but these meals were good stuff for Director Liu and Nan Yi!

As for how long it has been since the machine repair factory had eaten meat, not to mention Director Liu, even the chef Nan Yi probably has forgotten about it.

"Xiao Li, why don't you eat anymore?" Seeing that Li Jiayi didn't eat much and stopped eating, Director Liu asked hurriedly.

"Director Liu, you guys continue eating. Don't worry about me. I'm not that hungry yet."

"Xiao Li, is the food not to your liking?" asked Director Liu.

"No, no, no, Director Liu, please don't get me wrong. To be honest, the food is really good, but I really can't eat it anymore. It's mainly because I ate too much at noon and now I'm eating too early." Li Jiayi rubbed his stomach and said with a wry smile.

"So this is ah!"

Director Liu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a problem with the food, it would be easy to deal with.

"Hey, Xiao Li! Can I discuss something with you?" Director Liu put down his chopsticks and said.

"You say."

"It's like this. Can you help our factory provide meat in the future? It doesn't need to be much, just one thousand kilograms every two weeks will be fine."

"That's no problem, but I want to make one thing clear. The price of meat will get lower and lower. We will follow the market price."

"Okay, okay, that's no problem at all."

Meat on the black market now costs ten yuan per pound, which is much cheaper than before.

But this is not a low price. After a period of time, when everyone's health has recovered, the price of meat may drop further.

Li Jiayi took out a box of special supply cigarettes that he had opened earlier from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to Director Liu.

Director Liu took it quickly, looking like he had received a treasure.

Then Li Jiayi gave Nan Yi another one.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

He was going to put the cigarettes in his pocket, but seeing Liu Feng treating them like treasures, he threw the rest to him and said, "I don't smoke, so I'll give you the rest!"

"Ah! How can this be so embarrassing?"

Although he said this, his hands were not slow at all! He quickly picked up the cigarette and put it in his pocket.

This thing is very precious to others, but to Li Jiayi, it is just that.

Because there are a lot of these special cigarettes in his space! If one person smokes them, it is estimated that he will not be able to finish them in ten lifetimes.

You have to know that he alone has been responsible for the exclusive supply of the entire military compound for several years!
Not only were there special cigarette tickets for the military compound during the three difficult years, but also many of the military compound's previous special cigarette tickets were exchanged for special cigarettes and placed in the space.

At this time, Li Jiayi turned around and looked at Nan Yi and asked, "Master Nan, where do you live?"

"Me? I live next to our factory."

"So you live out of town."

"Yes, it's hard to find a house in the city. There are only a few vacant houses outside the city, so I live here."

"That's it!"

At this time Liu Feng asked: "Xiao Li, what are you doing..."

"Nothing, I just asked. To be honest, I really like the food that Master Nan cooks. If I lived closer, I would ask Master Nan to cook a few meals for me. But since we're far away, forget it."

"I see! Then where do you live, Xiao Li?"

"Me! I live in Ping'anli, and there are people from your factory living in our yard."

"What? There are people from our factory living in your yard?" Liu Feng asked in disbelief.

In his opinion, people like Li Jiayi, even if they don’t live in a building, at least live in a single-family courtyard house!
"Yes, I live in the east wing of Courtyard No. 7 in Ping'anli, and I also have a west wing of Courtyard No. 5, but no one lives there."

"Uh!" Liu Feng was stunned when he heard this and was speechless.

Living in a cross-courtyard is like living in a separate courtyard! And there is a cross-courtyard that no one lives in.

Although Liu Feng did not live in Ping'anli, he still knew the courtyard houses there.

The cross-courtyards basically have three main rooms and two side rooms, and the cross-courtyards of large courtyards cover a large area, which is definitely not smaller than some single-entrance courtyards.

Of course, this refers to the area, not the number of houses. If we talk about houses, there are more courtyard houses with one entrance.

But having more houses means the yard is smaller, and it is not as comfortable as living in a courtyard that spans the entire length of the house.

"Your house is quite spacious then!"

"Okay!"

Although normally a courtyard has three main rooms and two side rooms, this is not the case with Li Jia's family's house!

Their main house now has two floors! That means there are six rooms in the main house and two side rooms.

After finishing his meal, Li Jiayi went straight home from the machine repair factory because it was already time to get off work.

When Li Jiayi arrived home, Ye Xin and Li Aimin had already returned.

"Hey, Mom, isn't my eldest brother back yet?"

"Not yet. I don't know what's wrong with this child these days. He only comes back when it's almost time for dinner."

"So did he go back to his residence first? And then come back to eat?" Li Jiayi asked.

"I don't know either. I'll ask him when he comes back."

Hearing his mother say this, Li Jiayi quickly said, "Mom, I advise you not to ask."

"Why?" Ye Xin asked puzzledly.

"Mom, do you think my eldest brother is in love?"

"Ah! No way! Besides, who did he talk to? I haven't heard of him before?"

"Mom, my eldest brother is already 18 years old, so it's normal for him to be in a relationship. You should just ignore it for now. I'll ask around later."

"Okay, I won't worry about it for now. I'll tell you after you find out clearly. Your uncle and aunt are not here, so I will definitely help them keep a close watch."

Li Jiayi had no way to deal with his mother's worrying habit, but he knew that his mother was doing it for his eldest brother's good.

Li Aimin was drinking tea in the main room. When he heard the conversation between Li Jiayi and Ye Xin, he frowned and wondered who Li Chengqian was close to in the factory.

But after thinking about it, I still couldn't figure it out.

Ye Xin glanced at Li Jiaqi who was helping nearby and asked, "Do you know what your eldest brother has been like recently?"

"Mom, I'm at home every day, how could I know?"

"Right."

Half an hour later, the meal was ready, and just at this moment my eldest brother came in from outside.

"Brother, you came back at the perfect time! You came back just as the meal was ready." Li Jiayi asked tentatively.

"Ah! I went back to Courtyard No. 15 first."

"Oh! So that's it!" Li Jia nodded and said nothing more.

He was just trying it out, and since nothing worked, he could only find out what was going on.

At the First Woolen Textile Factory, there were no secrets for Li Jiayi. He could just ask someone and find out what was going on.

"Cheng Qian, go wash your hands and have dinner."

"Okay aunt."

The dinner was quite sumptuous. Li Jiayi did not take the steamed buns. He took a few bites of the food and then put down his chopsticks.

"Son, what's wrong? Is today's food not to your liking?" Ye Xin asked.

"No mom, I already ate."

"have eaten?"

"Yes! Director Liu Feng of the machine repair factory invited me to dinner in their factory cafeteria, and it was cooked by their factory chef, Master Nan."

"Son, why did Director Liu from the machine repair factory invite you to dinner?" Li Aimin asked.

Li Jiayi said arrogantly: "What's wrong with inviting me to dinner? If someone wants to invite me to dinner, I may not go!"

"Ugh! You little brat."

"Actually, I just heard that Chef Nan Yinan from their factory cooks very delicious dishes, and can make ordinary things into delicious delicacies, so I went to try it."

“Is this true? Can ordinary food be made so delicious?” Li Aimin was a little bit unconvinced.

"Dad, you know what, this is true. I have seen it today." Li Jiayi said seriously.

"Is it better than what your uncle Liao cooks?" Ye Xin asked at this time.

Li Jiayi thought for a moment and said, “If he uses good ingredients, he is a little worse than Uncle Liao, but if he uses ordinary ingredients, Uncle Liao probably can’t compare to him.”

"Is that so? That's amazing. It's much harder to make ordinary food taste good than to make good food taste good."

"Dad, that's not the case. We can only say that everyone is good at different things. Nan Yi is good at local dishes and home-cooked dishes."

"That's right, your uncle Liao is good at Manchu and Han banquets and imperial cuisine."

"Yes! And there is also Sister Meilian's boyfriend He Yuzhu, who is good at Tan's cuisine and Sichuan cuisine."

"By the way, Mom and Dad, speaking of this, let me ask, when will the matter between Sister Meilian and He Yuzhu be settled?"

During this period, Li Jia was out every day, so he didn't know about the subsequent developments.

"It seems to be soon. I guess it will be time to pay the betrothal gift in a few days."

Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "That's pretty fast."

"Yes! I heard from your sister Meilian that those who did evil things behind the scenes have been punished."

What does it mean? Isn't it just Yi Zhonghai? Why is there another "du"? This "du" can represent more than one person.

But for Li Jiayi, none of this matters. He can then proceed to another plan.

After finishing the meal, Li Chengqian stood up and said, "Uncle, aunt, I'm going back first."

"Wait." Ye Xin hurriedly called him and said, "Wait until you finish eating the watermelon before going back."

Hearing about eating watermelon, Li Chengqian swallowed his saliva, nodded and said, "Okay, auntie."

Ye Xin and Li Jiaqi cleaned up the table, and the second sister brought the watermelon over.

Li Jiayi picked up the watermelon knife and cut the watermelon in no time. Then he picked up one of the pieces and handed it to his second sister, saying, "Give it to Uncle Liao."

"Yeah!" The second sister nodded, picked up the watermelon and went out.

If one quarter was given to Liao Kai, the rest would be enough for their family to eat, and they might not even be able to finish it.

After eating the watermelon, Li Chengqian went back to Yard No. 15.

As soon as Li Chengqian left, Liao Kai walked in from outside.

"Xiaokai is here, come and eat watermelon." Li Aimin shouted.

Even though it was only three quarters, Li Jiayi's family still didn't finish it.

"No need, Brother Li, I've eaten." Liao Kai said while rubbing his stomach.

You can tell at a glance that he eats a lot.

"So what's the matter with you coming here?" Li Aimin asked.

"I want to talk to Jiayi about something." Liao Kai smiled and nodded at Li Jiayi.

"Uncle Liao, what's the matter?" Li Jiayi asked.

Liao Kai thought about it and decided that since it had already been decided, there was no need to hide it. He said, "It's about the house. Hai Dafu has moved out today."

"Ah! Have you moved away? So quickly?" Li Jiayi asked in surprise.

"Ok!"

"Okay, in that case, let's go to the street office now to avoid any more trouble."

"it is good."

"Mom and Dad, Uncle Liao and I are going to the neighborhood office and will be back soon."

"Go ahead!" Li Aimin waved his hand and said.

"Let's go, Uncle Liao."

"Yeah!" Liao Kai nodded, turned around and said, "Brother Li, sister-in-law, let's go first."

"Let's go."

The street office was not far away, so Li Jiayi did not drive a tricycle, but Liao Kai rode a bicycle.

When they got outside the gate, Liao Kai patted the back seat of the bicycle and said, "Come on up!"

"okay!"

Li Jiayi hadn't sat on the back of a bicycle for a long time, and hadn't sat on the back of Liao Kai's bicycle for even longer. He had sat on the back of Liao Kai's bicycle a few times when Liao Kai had just bought the bicycle.

Five or six minutes later, two people came to the street office. Since it was not working hours, no one knew who was on duty.

"Uncle, who is on duty today?" Li Jiayi asked as he handed over a cigarette.

"Oh! Director Xu is on duty today."

"Okay, then let's go in." Li Jiayi said.

"Come in!" said the gatekeeper with a smile.

If it were someone else, it certainly wouldn't be so smooth. At least they would have to register, but that didn't exist for Li Jiayi.

"Knock, knock, knock." Li Jiayi arrived at the door of Director Xu's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

As soon as Li Jia opened the door, a head came in and shouted, "Aunt Xu, are you busy?"

"Why are you here, kid?"

"Come to see you!" Li Jiayi opened all the doors and walked in.

Liao Kai also followed into the office.

When Director Xu saw Liao Kai, he knew what was going on and asked, "Is it about the house?"

"Yes, Aunt Xu, did Secretary Niu tell you?" Li Jiayi asked hurriedly.

"Of course. If you want to rent a house directly without going through the factory, you have to go through me."

"I see! Then you see..."

Director Xu opened the drawer, took out a stack of documents and said, "Come here and sign, then pay the rent."

"Uncle Liao, please sign quickly!" Li Jiayi pushed Liao Kai.

"Oh! Okay, thank you Director Xu."

"What are you thanking me for? The house is rented to anyone."

Liao Kai went over and signed his name, then paid one year's rent, and Director Xu gave him an invoice.

In other words, from now on, the two houses belong to Liao Kai, and as long as Liao Kai does not give up the lease, he can continue to rent the houses.

After the reform and opening up, you can buy it at a very low price.

With these three houses, even if Liao Kai doesn't do well in the future, he can still live a well-off life.

I don't want to be rich, but at least I have enough food and clothing.

"Aunt Xu, we'll leave first. We'll come back to see you when we have time."

"Okay, let's go."

"Hey!"

After leaving the office, Liao Kai breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.

"Plus one! Thank you, Uncle Liao."

"Uncle Liao, you are being polite to me. This is not right!"

"Hahaha, yes, yes, no need to be polite."

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was Sunday. Li Jiayi got up early in the morning.

Then he started to get busy. As soon as he finished breakfast, he pulled Liao Kai out of the house and went straight to the military compound.

Yes, he had to send Liao Kai and the ingredients over first, and then go to pick up his master.

"Jiayi, is this the military compound?" Liao Kai asked when he arrived at the gate of the military compound and looked at the magnificent gate.

"Yes! It's not like you haven't seen it before."

How could people living in the imperial capital, especially in this era, have never seen a military compound?

Because there are many military compounds in this imperial capital, but they are of different levels.

"I have seen it before, but it is not as magnificent as this one, and I have never been inside."

"Let's go in now." After saying that, Li Jiayi drove the tricycle inside.

The guard on duty now was very familiar with Li Jiayi, and as soon as he saw it was him, he pretended not to see him.

"Jiayi, why didn't they stop you?" Liao Kai asked in surprise.

Because he saw that when others came in, except those in military uniforms, everyone else would stop them.

"Because I live almost the same as here, and those people who stopped me don't live here."

What Li Jiayi said was not wrong. Although he did not live here, he came here too many times.

Of course, the most important thing is that during the three difficult years, he sent a lot of food and meat here!
For this reason alone, the guards were extremely grateful to him! Besides, he wasn't barging in without permission.

So how could we stop him?

"That's it!"

Soon Li Jiayi drove a tricycle into Old Li's yard.

The Li family is quite complete today. Not only Aunt Tian is here, but also Li Jian and Li Kang are here.

"Jia Yi is here." Aunt Tian asked with a smile.

"Yes, Auntie." Li Jiayi nodded with a smile.

"Hey, Li Jian, you're here too?"

Li Jian joined the army last year. He seldom comes back. I don’t know why he came back today.

"I'll take a break today and come back to take a look."

Hearing him say this, Li Jiayi couldn't help but sigh that children from military families are just different.

If it were someone else, it would be impossible for him to go out to the troops as it was just Sunday, but he was able to go home.

That’s the difference!

"Li Kang!" Li Jiayi patted Li Kang on the shoulder.

"Oh, by the way, Auntie Tian, ​​let me introduce you, this is Liao Kai, and he is also the chef for today."

"Hello Liao Kai!"

"Hello, hello! You can just call me Xiao Liao."

"Uncle Liao, this is Auntie Tian, ​​you can just call her Sister Tian."

"Ok."

"You little brat, why are you here so early today?" Old Li came out of the house at this time.

"I say, Lao Li, aren't you asking this question even though you already know the answer?" Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at Lao Li.

Old Li ignored him and looked at Liao Kai and asked, "Is this the chef you mentioned?" "Hello, Chief! My name is Liao Kai, you can just call me Xiao Liao."

"Okay, okay, Xiao Liao! Today's lunch is up to you."

"Yes, sir, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you."

"Okay." Old Li nodded and turned around and said, "Auntie Zhang, take Xiao Liao to the kitchen to have a look."

"Ok."

"Chief, wait a moment, the ingredients haven't been taken down yet."

"Oh! Yes, yes, this brat is the one who prepared the ingredients today."

Li Jiayi prepared a lot of ingredients today, including chicken, fish, meat, and eggs, and there was even a lot left over.

Of course, in addition to these, there are also a variety of green vegetables, and some that are simply not available outside.

After getting all the ingredients, Li Jiayi called out, "Li Kang, come and move the watermelon."

"Coming." When Li Kang heard about moving watermelons, his eyes lit up and he ran over excitedly.

But he knew that the watermelons that Li Jiayi brought were not available outside.

Not only is it delicious, but it is also very sweet. The watermelons you buy outside are not only not sweet, but also fleshy and not delicious at all.

After unloading everything from the car, Li Jiayi came into the house and asked, "Old Li, when will Aunt Chen come over?"

"Don't ask me this, ask your Aunt Tian."

Hearing what Old Li said, Li Jiayi turned around and looked at Aunt Tian.

"Don't worry! I'll be here in a moment."

"Okay, in that case, I'll go get my master."

"Okay, by the way, your master has a daughter, right?" Aunt Tian asked.

"Yes, I'm in college now. I'll be a junior when school starts."

"In that case, call them up to come along."

"Ah! Aunt Tian, ​​this is not good! Calling everyone when we meet for the first time?" Li Jiayi scratched his head.

"What's wrong with that? Besides, your Aunt Chen's daughter will be here too."

"Is that so? Okay, let's call them along."

"Ok!"

Then Li Jiayi came to the kitchen again, said hello to Liao Kai, and then drove away on his tricycle.

In less than ten minutes, Li Jiayi parked the tricycle in front of his master's house.

Then he went over and pushed the door, but to his surprise it was not locked from the inside. They probably knew he was coming and left the door open.

Sure enough, I saw my master and senior sister as soon as I entered the courtyard.

"Oh! Master, why do you look like a groom?" Li Jiayi teased when he saw his master looking unwilling.

"Go away and pull it aside."

Li Jiayi touched his nose, walked up to his senior sister and asked, "Did you dress her up?"

"Yeah! How is it? Doesn't it look good?"

"Yes, you can." Li Jia nodded.

Li Jiayi walked around his master, touched his chin and said, "Everything else is fine, but this face is a bit ugly."

When Li Jiayi said the face was a bit ugly, he was not referring to the appearance but the expression.

As for his appearance, to be honest, in Li Jiayi's eyes, he definitely meets the standards of a handsome old man.

"You want to be beaten, you little brat?"

"Look, why are you still in a hurry? I want to tell you that you can do this now, but you can't do this again when you meet people."

"That's right, Dad. You can do whatever you want at home, but you can't do this outside."

Li Shugen's face turned red with anger, and he shouted, "I'll let you two teach me a lesson."

"Hey! I have a bad temper. Master, you are almost there. I know you must be happy right now!"

Li Wanyu pulled Li Jiayi's sleeve and asked, "Really? My father is happy about it?"

"Of course, who wouldn't be happy to marry a wife? The old man is just pretending."

"Pretend? Pretend for what?"

"Uh! Nothing, just pretending."

"Oh! So that's it! It's okay, just let him pretend, and he won't pretend anymore in the future."

Li Jiayi nodded quickly and said, "That's right, Senior Sister. He won't pretend anymore after he gets married."

"Ok!"

Li Jiayi took out his pocket watch and looked at it, then said, "Sister, it's almost time, let's go!"

"and many more."

"What's the matter?" Li Jiayi turned his head and asked in confusion.

"Am I going too?" Li Wanyu asked, pointing at her nose.

"Of course you should go! You are representing the family."

"Uh, this..."

"Okay, Senior Sister, I'm afraid if you don't go, I won't be able to get this old man over."

Li Jiayi knew very well that the reason why Li Shugen agreed was entirely because of his senior sister.

He was really afraid that his senior sister would not go, and the old man would run away halfway, which would be very troublesome.

"Okay then! I'll go change my clothes."

"Ok!"

Senior sister changed clothes very quickly. It was not popular to wear makeup now, so of course she changed clothes quickly. She came out of the room in less than ten minutes.

I changed the skirt into a shirt and trousers, and I have to say, I feel quite heroic.

"Let's go."

"Ok!"

Li Wanyu pulled the old man up from his chair and said, "Dad, it's already this time, just admit it!"

"That's right! Master, please find me a mistress as soon as possible. Next time I come to see you, I can stay for dinner!"

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Shugen exploded and asked, "What do you mean, little bastard? Are you saying that my cooking is not good?"

Li Jia rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't you know whether it tastes good or not?"

"you……"

"Okay, Master, now is not the time to talk about this. Let's go quickly! Don't let them wait for us."

"Yes, yes, yes." Senior sister nodded in agreement.

Li Shugen is now in tears! He feels very miserable to have such a daughter and apprentice.

"Master! What's with that expression on your face? Why do you look so bitter and resentful?"

"What do you think, little brat?"

"You don't know what I know, let alone me. But I know that I can't blame the landlord for my miserable life, and I can't blame my apprentice even more!"

"What the hell are you talking about all day long?"

Li Jiayi spread his hands and said, "I'm not talking nonsense! If you don't believe me, ask my senior sister."

"Uh-huh!"

Li Wanyu now completely listens to Li Jiayi. No matter what he says, Li Wanyu says it is right.

Even if Li Jiayi said red was yellow, she would not refute it.

When they arrived outside the gate, the senior sister turned around and locked the gate, then pulled Li Shugen onto the tricycle.

After Li Jiayi got on the tricycle, he started it and drove towards the military compound.

In order to give Li Shugen some buffer time, Li Jiayi drove slowly. It took him about twenty minutes to drive a journey that was supposed to take ten minutes.

But no matter how slowly you drive, you will eventually arrive! Now we have arrived at the military compound.

Li Jiayi didn't stop and drove straight in.

"Of course, junior brother, you can enter the compound without any inspection." Li Wanyu said.

"What to check? There's nothing to check here." Li Jiayi shrugged and said.

"All right!"

When we arrived at Lao Li's house, Lao Li had already come out of the house.

If it was Li Jiayi who came, it wouldn't matter whether he came out or not, but the person who came was Li Jiayi's master.

Even if he did, he had to come out, because no matter how you look at it, Li Shugen and he are of the same generation.

"Oh, Brother Li is here, come in quickly." Old Li came up and took Li Shugen's hand and said.

"Okay, okay." Li Shugen's face finally brightened up.

"Brother Li, is it okay for me to call you that?"

"of course can."

"Hahaha, that's good."

By the time they came back from outside, the two of them were already calling each other "brother" and "older brother".

Li Jiayi brought her sister into the house and saw Aunt Chen had already arrived. She quickly pulled her sister over and shouted, "Hello, Aunt Chen."

"Hello plus one."

"Aunt Chen, this is my master's daughter, Li Wanyu."

"Hello, Aunt Chen." Li Wanyu also hurriedly shouted.

"Okay, Wanyu, you too, please sit down."

"it is good."

"Come on, Senior Sister, this is Auntie Tian, ​​the hostess here."

"Hello, Auntie Tian."

"Hello, Wanyu, this child is so cute." Aunt Tian said to Li Wanyu.

"No way." Li Wanyu said embarrassedly.

"It's beautiful, plus one, isn't your sister beautiful?"

Li Jiayi pretended to be confused and looked at his senior sister and said, "Auntie Tian, ​​I'm still a child."

"Uh! Hahaha, yes, yes, I almost forgot that you are still a child." Aunt Tian laughed.

Usually Li Jiayi behaves like a child, and his words and actions are very mature, making Aunt Tian forget that he is only fourteen years old.

It’s no wonder that Li Jiayi is good at pretending. He is only fourteen years old, it doesn’t seem like he has grown up so fast!
If it weren't for this face, who wouldn't say he was an adult! An adult who hadn't grown taller.

But in fact, he was really fourteen years old in this life.

"Auntie Tian, ​​Auntie Chen, Senior Sister, you guys chat, I'll go to the kitchen to see how Uncle Liao's meal is going."

"Okay, go ahead! I have to say, this chef you called here is really good at cooking."

"That's right. He is a certified second-level chef. If it weren't for the three difficult years, he would be at least a first-level chef now."

It’s not that the three difficult years delayed Liao Kai’s cooking skills, but that there was no chef skills assessment during the three difficult years.

So Liao Kai is still at level two now. It will probably take some time for him to recover. Maybe by then Liao Kai will be a level one chef.

Of course, now it is best to get as high a score as possible in the college entrance examination, because after 1966, all skill assessments will be stopped.

Not to mention cooking skills, even fitter and welder skills will be stopped until the end of the ten-year period.

"So powerful?" Aunt Tian asked in surprise.

It seems that Lao Li did not tell her about Liao Kai's chef level.

"Yes."

"Okay, go ahead!"

"okay!"

When Li Jiayi arrived at the kitchen, he saw Aunt Zhang standing at the kitchen door looking inside.

"Auntie Zhang, what are you looking at?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Look at Chef Liao cooking!" said Aunt Zhang.

"Why don't you go in and take a look?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Master Liao won't let me in."

Li Jia took a look inside and found that Li Jian and Li Kang were both making a fire inside, so he understood what was going on.

"Aunt Zhang, did you help?"

"Well! You can't just watch when you go in!"

Li Jiayi shook his head. Liao Kai’s cooking was different from others. Others wanted someone to help, but he didn’t need one.

Especially when it comes to more important banquets, he does it all by himself.

If someone came to help, it would disrupt his rhythm. No wonder he didn't let Aunt Zhang in.

"Auntie Zhang! If you want to learn, just watch and don't talk. Wait until Uncle Liao is done. If you don't understand anything, you can ask."

"Oh!"

Li Jiayi entered the kitchen and asked, "Uncle Liao, what's going on?"

"It's still early. Except for some things that require time, nothing has been done yet. I'm preparing."

"Then let Aunt Zhang come in and take a look, and learn from you. Don't worry, I've already told her not to move a thing."

"Okay, come in!"

"Hey!" Aunt Zhang agreed and ran in quickly.

"Li Jian and Li Kang, why are you two so well behaved today? Why are you coming here to light the fire?"

Li Jian didn't say anything. After all, he was old and he was a soldier of the people.

But Li Kang was different. He rolled his eyes at Li Jiayi and said, "If my brother and I don't light the fire, who will? Or you can do it."

"Come on! I'm a guest. Have you ever seen anyone let a guest light a fire?"

Li Kang curled his lips and said, "You are a guest when you are working, but I have never seen you treat yourself as a guest at other times, right?"

"Usually it's normal, but today is different. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"I don't understand shit. Anyway, you're on the right side."

Li Kang knows this very well. If he works now, he will become a guest. But when there are benefits soon, he will immediately become a family member.

Because of this, he has suffered a lot over the years, and so has his brother Li Jian.

Speaking of this, Li Jian is much smarter than Li Kang. Didn't you see that he didn't say anything?

"Li Kang, you are full of foul language, I will let Auntie Tian deal with you in a moment."

"Uh!"

If you were to ask who Li Kang is most afraid of, it would definitely not be Old Li, but Aunt Tian.

Also, Aunt Tian hates to hear people swearing the most. Even Old Li used to call her "Laozi", but now he has changed a lot.

Sometimes I can barely speak a few words a day, which is definitely more than 99 percent less than before.

"You just know how to complain." Li Kang's face turned red.

"There's nothing I can do. You have to file a lawsuit for me! If not, I have nowhere to file a lawsuit even if I want to." Li Jiayi shrugged and said.

"Jia Yi, you are such a bad boy. Look how you bully others." Liao Kai said at this time.

"It's okay, Uncle Liao, this is a common occurrence." Li Jiayi said indifferently.

"That Li Kang, right?" Liao Kai asked.

"Yeah!" Liao Kai nodded.

"Does Jiayi often bully you like this?"

Li Kang glanced at Li Jiayi and finally nodded.

"It's okay! I'll go home and tell on him and let his mother deal with him."

"Really?" Li Kang got excited when he heard someone was going to deal with Li Jiayi.

"real."

"it is good."

Li Jiayi curled his lips at Li Kang and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will come and bully you after I get punished?"

"Tsk, I can just not go home during the day, but you can still stay at my house all day long?"

"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment and touched his nose.

It's true! This kid runs away for a whole day and doesn't come back until dark. There's really no way to bully him.

As for where this kid ran to, you don’t even have to think about it to know that he must be at Old Zhao’s house!

It’s just that Li Jiayi doesn’t like going to Lao Zhao’s house. As for why it doesn’t matter, to be honest, Li Jiayi himself doesn’t know. Maybe he feels that Lao Li is more compatible with his temper!

When he had some free time, Li Jiayi would look from the kitchen into the living room and see that people were chatting lively there.

Li Jiayi laughed. What does this mean? There is hope!

Also, Aunt Chen’s daughter is not very old and looks about the same age as me.

Of course, this is just an appearance. Li Jiayi really doesn't know how big it is exactly.

As for her looks, well, she's pretty good, which may be inspired by her mother.

It was not until half past ten that Auntie Tian came to the kitchen and said, "Master Liao, you can start now."

"Okay, Sister Tian, ​​I'll start now."

"Ok!"

When he heard that cooking was about to begin, Li Jiayi hurried outside. There was no other way because cooking would produce a lot of smoke.

Moreover, the smell of oil smoke will not disappear with the wind. It must be washed to remove the smell.

He didn't care! He was just afraid that his mother would find out when he got home.

You know, he doesn't enter the kitchen at home. To be exact, he is not allowed to enter the kitchen.

Li Jiayi came outside and found that his senior sister was chatting with Aunt Chen's daughter, while his master, Aunt Chen, Lao Li and Aunt Tian were chatting together.

"Xiao Li, come here." Seeing Li Jiayi coming out, Lao Li waved and shouted to him.

"What are you doing, Lao Li?"

"You little brat, don't be disrespectful." The master turned around and glared at him.

"It's okay, we've always called you that." Lao Li said quickly.

"That's right, Master. If you're not afraid of confusion, you can't escape the name Lao Li."

"Uh!"

Li Shugen thought to himself: So this is why this guy doesn’t call me Lao Li!
In fact, this is not the case. You should know that Li Jiayi used to call his dad "Lao Li". He stopped calling him that after he met Lao Li again.

For Li Jiayi, whoever is the oldest is Old Li, so in terms of age, Old Li is definitely the oldest.

You have to know that Lao Li’s actual age is two or three years older than his grandfather! This is definitely Lao Li.

After Li Jiayi sat down, Old Li said to Li Shugen: "Brother, your disciple is not an ordinary person!"

"This kid is quite smart. I have seen so many martial arts geniuses, and he is definitely number one."

What Li Shugen said was absolutely true, because he had never seen anyone who could perform Taizu Changquan more than ten times in a row in just a few years.

I have been practicing for half my life, but now I can only do it seven times at most at a time. This breakthrough came after I accepted Li Jiayi as my disciple.
