Chapter 315: Spiritual Spring Winemaking (-word chapter)
In fact, the reason why he was able to break through was also because of Li Jiayi, but he just didn't know it.

Without the spiritual tea given to him by Li Jiayi, it would be very difficult, or even impossible, for him to make a breakthrough.

After all, his age is there. The best age to practice martial arts is from the teens to before the age of thirty.

If you are young, your body has not yet fully developed; if you are too old, you lack qi and blood. Once you are over 30, your body basically starts to decline.

"Hahaha, this kid is not only good at martial arts, but also good in other aspects."

If it were someone else, and you were good at martial arts, they might think you were talking nonsense, but who is Lao Li?
He was very familiar with people who practiced martial arts. All the guards in the past practiced martial arts! And they were all very good at it.

If he hadn't been plotted against, his status wouldn't be so low now.

"It's okay!" What else could Li Shugen say? If he continued, it would be a bit like showing off.

"I say, Lao Li, why are you suddenly talking about me?" Then he pointed to the master and asked, "How is it?"

Old Li looked at Aunt Chen, then looked at Li Shugen and said softly, "It should be fine."

"That's good. I feel relieved now." Li Jiayi said with a sigh of relief.

"What is that brat mumbling about?" Li Shugen asked.

"Nothing. By the way, Master, are you thirsty? I'll cut you a watermelon."

"Don't we have tea? Why are you cutting watermelon?" Li Shugen asked with a frown.

"Master, you are really amazing. You are drinking tea, but Aunt Chen and Aunt Tian are not drinking it. Even if you don't want to eat it, others will eat it!"

"Uh! Okay, then go cut some watermelon!"

"okay."

Li Jiayi is very familiar with the old Li family. He knows where everything is placed.

Look, in less than a minute, he came out with a big watermelon. He put the watermelon on the coffee table and turned around to get the machete.

"Little Li! You are really good. The watermelon you brought is not only big, but also very sweet and delicious. Where did you get it? Why can't I get it?" Old Li asked when Li Jiayi came over with a watermelon knife.

"You definitely can't get it! Because I had someone bring it here from another place."

"What the hell? Are a few watermelons worth hauling back in a car?"

Since it is brought back from other places, it must be brought back by car. At this time, transportation is not well developed.

If you want to go to other places, you can either take a train or a car. It is basically impossible to use other means of transportation to go to other places.

"Hey, Old Li, why are you making such a fuss?" Li Jiayi asked, picking his ear.

"Aren't you wasting resources? Just for a few watermelons, you bring them back from other places."

"I say, Lao Li, what do you know? Those trucks are used to deliver goods to other places. What's wrong with helping to carry some goods when they come back? Even if they don't carry any goods, they don't have to come back empty-handed. I am also making use of resources."

"Uh! So that's it!" Old Li scratched his head embarrassedly.

It seems that he had wrongly blamed Li Jiayi. Yes! Even if he didn't bring anything when he came back, he still had to come back empty-handed.

"What else do you think it is? Why would I ask someone to drive back just for a few watermelons?"

"that's true!"

"That's nothing! I don't have the ability to ask someone to drive to help me move things." Li Jiayi said with a sneer.

While Li Jiayi was talking, he had already cut the watermelon and first handed a piece to Aunt Tian and Aunt Chen respectively.

"Thank you, Xiao Jiayi."

Needless to say, the person who could have said this must be Aunt Tian, ​​because they knew him quite early, and Li Jiayi was really young at that time. She has been calling him that until now, and it is not easy to change.

"Auntie Tian, ​​you are so polite."

"Thank you for your encouragement."

"No need to thank Aunt Chen, this is what I should do."

After talking to the two aunts, Li Jiayi turned around and said to Lao Li and Li Shugen: "If you want to eat, get it yourself. I won't give it to you."

"I didn't expect you to take it." After saying that, Old Li stood up, took two pieces of watermelon, gave one to Li Shugen, and ate one himself.

"That's right." Li Shugen nodded in agreement.

Li Jiayi looked at the two of them, shook his head speechlessly, and then said to the senior sister who was sitting in the corner chatting: "Senior sister, you two come over and eat watermelon!"

"coming."

"Auntie Tian, ​​Auntie Chen, you guys eat first, I'll send some over to the kitchen."

"Okay, go ahead!"

"Hey!"

After Li Jiayi finished speaking, he went to the kitchen with a few pieces of watermelon. He didn't want to run so many times, so he took a lot, two pieces for each person.

"Auntie Zhang, Uncle Liao, take a break and eat a piece of watermelon first."

Liao Kai put down the knife and said, "You know what, I'm a little thirsty."

"Thank you, Jiayi." said Aunt Zhang.

"You're welcome, Aunt Zhang."

Then Li Jiayi shouted to the two brothers who were making a fire: "Come over and eat too! Do you really want me to feed you?"

"Here I come!" Li Kang is not polite.

At half past eleven, Liao Kai prepared the meal, and Li Jian and Li Kang acted as waiters.

"Xiao Liao! Come over and sit with us." Old Li shouted.

"No need, Chief. I'll just eat something in the kitchen." Liao Kai said quickly.

"That won't do. Even though I asked you to cook today, you are also a guest today. It doesn't make sense for a guest not to be at the table."

"Yes, yes, yes, everyone come to the table, there are no outsiders today." Aunt Tian also agreed.

"This……"

"Okay, Uncle Liao, just follow what Lao Li and Aunt Tian said. No outsiders are allowed today."

"OK then!"

The meal was quite harmonious, and Aunt Chen and Master seemed to be getting along quite well.

But it's probably too early to talk about marriage, I just have some affection for each other.

After dinner, I opened another watermelon, and when I finished eating the watermelon, I started to say goodbye.

Although Li Jiayi's tricycle is now loaded with a box, there is still no problem for three people to sit in the back, except that one person cannot sit down.

So Liao Kai could only stand behind for a while. Fortunately, the distance was not very far. After more than ten minutes, he sent his master and senior sister home.

When he started the tricycle again, Liao Kai patted his chest and said, "This meal is not comfortable at all."

"What's wrong, Uncle Liao?"

"How can you feel comfortable having dinner with such a high-ranking leader?" Liao Kai shook his head with a wry smile.

"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did you not eat well?"

"I ate well, but I didn't feel comfortable eating."

"All right!"

"By the way, Uncle Liao, did Secretary Niu tell you about the specifications of the wedding banquet?"

"Yes! As I said, now that conditions are better, we don't plan to have a big wedding. We will just invite relatives to have a meal. There will be four tables in total."

"That's not much. In that case, Uncle Liao, I'll prepare the meat and other things that morning, and you can just take it over."

"can."

The two had just arrived home, and before Li Jiayi had time to enter the house, Qian Guoliang came to the east courtyard.

"plus one."

"Uncle Qian, is there anything I can help you with?" Li Jiayi turned around and asked.

"I'm looking for your dad! And you, too."

"Then come in, I think my dad is in the house."

"Hey!"

The two of them entered the house, and sure enough, Li Aimin and Ye Xin were lying on a recliner, each drinking tea.

"Oh! Brother Qian, please sit down." Li Aimin and Ye Xin hurriedly got up from the recliners.

"it is good!"

After everyone sat down, Li Aimin asked, "Brother Qian, what's the matter?"

"Brother Li, it's like this. Matchmaker Wang came over just now and said that someone will come to our house to deliver the betrothal gifts and betrothal gifts next Sunday, so I would like to invite you to go over and drink with us that day." Qian Guoliang said.

"Ah! Brother Qian, this is not good, right?" Li Aimin asked.

"Why not? I think you are the most suitable person to go. I can say that there is no one more suitable than you in our No. 7 Courtyard."

Qian Guoliang was right. After all, Li Aimin was also the deputy section chief of the woolen mill.

Not to mention the No. 7 Courtyard, even in the woolen mill, he is considered a well-known person.

Although more than 90% of this face was brought to him by his son, it is still face!

In the woolen mill, not to mention some section chiefs, even some department-level directors, department heads, or ministers have to give him some face.

Sometimes I even greet him first, with a hint of flattery.

Li Aimin also understood where this came from, so he never put on airs and was always polite to everyone.

This is also the reason why Qian Guoliang asked him to drink with him. It would be face-saving if he could tell others about it!

"Okay! It's nothing anyway!" Li Aimin nodded and said.

"Okay, that's settled."

"Ok!"

Then Qian Guoliang turned around and looked at Li Jiayi and said, "Jiayi! Qian Bo knows that you are capable. Can you think of a way to help Qian Bo get some meat back? When they come, we can't let them eat only vegetarian food, right?"

Li Jiayi thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle Qian, what kind of meat do you plan to buy? And let me tell you, the price of meat is not cheap now."

Qian Guoliang quickly took out thirty yuan and handed it to Li Jiayi, saying, "I know, this is thirty yuan, just take whatever you like."

"Uh! Uncle Qian, you are really willing to spend so much. This shows that you are very satisfied with this son-in-law!"

Li Jiayi had absolutely no intention of being sarcastic, but he really felt that Qian Guoliang was willing to do so.

This is thirty yuan! It is equivalent to half a month's salary for Qian Guoliang. He spent half a month's salary just to buy meat.

I guess not many families in the entire No. 7 Courtyard would be willing to spend so much money to buy meat at once.

"Satisfied, satisfied. Nowadays, having enough food is the most important thing. What else can I be dissatisfied with?"

Qian Guoliang's idea is very simple. It doesn't matter whether the person is good-looking or not, as long as his daughter is not bullied after marrying him and can have enough food and clothes to eat and wear.

Especially having enough food and warm clothing, this is the top priority. Being hungry is really uncomfortable, which is why he agreed to let Qian Meilin marry He Yuzhu.

To put it bluntly, the reason why he is so generous now is to please He Yuzhu. He hopes that He Yuzhu will treat Qian Meilin better after she gets married.

In fact, Qian Guoliang was worrying for nothing. With He Yuzhu's wife's obsessed character, how could he be bad to Qian Meilin?

Of course, Li Jiayi would not say this, because Qian Guoliang would not believe it even if he said it.

"Okay, leave the purchase of meat to me. I guarantee you will be satisfied."

"thanks, thanks!"

"Mr. Qian, you are too polite."

"Okay, Brother Qian, why are you thanking the child? Come, have a cigarette." Li Aimin handed over a cigarette.

"it is good."

Seeing that there was nothing else for him to do, Li Jiayi stood up and said, "Mom, Dad, Uncle Qian, you guys chat, I'll go upstairs and rest for a while."

"Go!"

"Ok!"

Li Jiayi came upstairs, locked the door from the inside, and entered the space directly.

To be honest, it is more comfortable to stay in the space. Although there is an electric fan blowing outside, it still makes people feel uncomfortable.

The temperature in this space is over 20 degrees all year round, which can be said to be the most comfortable temperature for the human body.

After arriving at the space, Li Jiayi did not go to take a shower and rest immediately, but went to the processing workshop.

Yes, Li Jiayi is going to start brewing wine, but brewing wine requires koji. He made a lot of koji some time ago.

In fact, the materials used to make koji are similar to those used to make wine. The main raw materials of koji include grain crops such as glutinous rice, rice, wheat, corn, as well as yeast, etc.

Now that the koji is ready, he is about to start brewing wine.

The equipment processing workshops all have it, so there is no need for him to make it, which makes things much simpler.

Not only that, there are also recipes on the equipment for brewing different kinds of wine, such as the proportions of various grains.

First, Li Jiayi wants to brew a batch of sorghum wine, so the raw material is just sorghum, nothing else is needed.

There just happened to be a lot of sorghum in the static space, so there was no need to plant it right away.

Making wine is not that simple. It takes time because it requires fermentation.

But this is not a problem for Li Jiayi, after all, he controls everything in the space.

Next, Li Jiayi started to steam the sorghum in pots, and after steaming, it began to ferment.

Because there was a lot to do, Li Jiayi took a shower and came out of the space at around five o'clock.

I had planned to take a nap but didn't get any sleep. I spent the whole afternoon steaming sorghum.

However, the results this afternoon were quite good, as we steamed more than a ton of sorghum.

The wine yield of sorghum is not high, only about 40 to 50 percent. From more than a ton of sorghum, at most only a little over 1,000 kilograms of wine can be produced.

However, it will take at least one or two days to produce the wine, and this is because the flow rate outside the courtyard is 1:30.

However, even if it is brewed now, it cannot be drunk for the time being. Freshly brewed wine needs to be stored for at least half a year, and the longer the better.

This is freshly brewed wine. It has a spicy taste and is easy to get drunk, so it is generally not recommended to drink it right after it is brewed.

"Son, are you awake?" Ye Xin asked when she saw Li Jiayi coming down from upstairs.

"Yeah! Just woke up."

Li Jiayi could only make up a white lie. Otherwise, how could he say that he was brewing wine and did not sleep at all?

"You sleep all afternoon, can you still sleep at night?"

"Don't worry! Even if you sleep all day, you can still sleep at night."

"Okay!" What else could she say since her son had said so?

"You kid, you never stayed at home during holidays, even on Sundays. What happened during this period? I haven't seen you go out?"

"Dad, why are you going out on such a hot day? We used to go out to find food, but now there's no shortage of food, so who would go out?"

"All right!"

In the blink of an eye, it was Sunday morning, and Li Jiayi drove out on his tricycle early in the morning.

This was just a pretense. Li Jiayi went to the courtyard first and replenished the courtyard with some peanuts, melon seeds and beef jerky.

Then after getting the money, I rushed home because there were two families here who needed meat!
After returning home, Li Jiayi parked the tricycle and went to Liao Kai's house carrying a sack.

"Knock knock knock." Li Jiayi went up and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly and Liao Kai appeared at the door.

"Uncle Liao, I have prepared the things for you. Just go over and take them later." After saying that, he handed over the sack.

"Okay!" Liao Kai carried the sack into the house.

"Then I'll go back first."

"Ok!"

Back at the East Courtyard, Li Jiayi took out two or three more net bags.

A net bag contains pork, beef and mutton, which together weigh almost four pounds, more than enough to make three particularly rich meat dishes.

The other two net bags, one contained a dozen eggs, and the other contained a fish.

To be honest, this thirty dollars is totally worth it.

Soon Li Jiayi arrived at Qian Guoliang's house carrying something.

"Uncle Qian, are you home?" Li Jiayi shouted.

This is different from giving something to Liao Kai. Giving something to Liao Kai seems a bit sneaky.

There is no need to do this when sending things to Qian Guoliang, since he is just helping out anyway.

Because many people know that Qian Guoliang's son-in-law is coming today, so they must prepare some things.

Nowadays no one cares where things come from, as long as you can get them. You know, it’s not easy to get the meat nowadays.

Not to mention meat, even fish were impossible to get. There was no other way. During the three years, all the rivers, big and small, were cleaned out.

Even if there are some smaller ones that we didn’t catch, it still takes time for them to grow up! It’s not like these things can grow up in just three or two months.

"Here!" Qian Guoliang answered from inside the room and quickly opened the door.

"Jia Yi is here, come in quickly." Qian Guoliang said.

"No need, Mr. Qian. I came to deliver something to you. Now that the things are delivered, I should go back."

"Okay, thank you, Jiayi."

When I passed by Liao Kai's house, I saw Liao Kai tying things to his bicycle. It seemed that he was about to set off.

"Uncle Liao, why are you leaving so early?"

"Well, go early and come back early." As he spoke, Liao Kai tied up the things.

"Uncle Liao, are you going alone today?"

"How could that be possible? I also brought two apprentices with me, but they didn't come here."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'm going to leave now."

"it is good."

Not long after Liao Kai left, He Yuzhu arrived at Yard No. 7 on a bicycle, carrying a lot of bags.

He didn't come alone, he was accompanied by the matchmaker Wang.

The matchmaker took He Yuzhu to Qian Guoliang's house. Qian Guoliang's family welcomed He Yuzhu and the matchmaker in, and Qian Guoliang quickly said to Qian Meilian, "Go and call your uncle Li over."

"Okay dad."

In fact, Li Aimin is only about ten years older than Qian Meilin. Even if he is a little older, it is not much.

If it was in the past, it would be no problem for her to call him brother, but it is no longer possible now. Li Aimin has a high status now, so Qian Meilin can only call him uncle.

When Qian Meilin came to the house to call Li Aimin, Li Jiayi had not gone upstairs yet. She originally planned to go over to check, but after thinking it over, she decided not to.

Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future, so it doesn’t matter if it takes this short time.

So after Li Aimin followed Qian Meilin away, Li Jiayi went straight upstairs.

Going upstairs, locking the door from the inside, Li Jiayi entered the space.

He first took a look at the fermenting sorghum and felt that it was almost ready, but he was not in a hurry to brew it.

It is better to let it ferment for a while. I think it will be absolutely fine to start brewing at night.

You have to know that when steaming the sorghum, Li Jiayi used spiritual spring water, not to mention the distillation process.

This stuff, even if nothing is added to it, is definitely a good wine for strengthening the body, and it is impossible for Li Jiayi not to add anything.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Li Jiayi came out of the space and went straight to a clay pot factory in the suburbs.

The clay pot factory does not only make clay pots, they also make large vats and other things. They can make whatever you need.

The most important thing is that this thing doesn’t require a ticket. Well, if it didn’t, who would buy this thing?

This clay pot factory is not small and covers a relatively large area. There are several large pits nearby. Needless to say, these large pits are left behind when the soil was dug out.

"Hello! Is the factory director here?" After arriving at the clay pot factory, Li Jiayi stopped a young man pulling adobe bricks and asked.

"Go over there and ask." The young man pointed to the only row of houses in Waguancai and said.

"OK, thanks!"

"You're welcome."

After saying goodbye to the young man, Li Jiayi drove his tricycle to the row of houses.

He didn't even need to ask, because he saw the factory director's office as soon as he got there.

Although this kind of clay pot factory is not a state-owned unit, at most it is an enterprise under the street office.

But he still has everything he needs. After all, he is the factory director.

"Knock knock knock!" Li Jiayi went up and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Li Jiayi pushed the door open and went in. A middle-aged man in his forties was sitting in the office.

Seeing Li Jiayi coming in, he asked, "Who are you?"

"Hello, Director! I want to buy some cylinders. Do you have any?"

"We have jars! What kind of jar do you want?"

"Wine barrel."

Different jars are also different. For example, a water jar has a larger mouth, but a wine jar has a smaller mouth.

"We have wine jars! How big do you want?"

Li Jiayi thought for a moment and said, "There are three types: 50 jin, 100 jin, and 500 jin."

"Uh!"

The factory manager looked at Li Jiayi and said, "At present, we only have two types of 50-jin and 100-jin. We don't have 500-jin, but you can customize it."

"No problem! I want to know how much these three types of tanks cost?"

"One yuan for 50 kilograms, two yuan for 100 kilograms, and five yuan for 500 kilograms."

To be honest, this price is not cheap, but considering that this thing is quite large and takes up a lot of space, it is not very expensive.

Let me put it this way! If you burn tiles in the same size area, you can burn as many tiles as you want.

"How about this! I want two thousand of the fifty-jin ones, one thousand of the one hundred-jin ones, and one thousand of the five hundred-jin ones."

"Uh!" The factory manager was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly: "Sorry, the quantity you want is too much, we don't have that much here."

"It doesn't matter. Just give me as much as you have. I'll pay a portion of the rest as a deposit, and then you can burn it for me."

"That's no problem!"

Then the factory manager took Li Jiayi to the warehouse, and they found that there were not even a hundred 50-jin bottles.

There are less than forty of them weighing one hundred kilograms.

Come to think of it, few people want wine jars. If Li Jiayi hadn't wanted them, it would have been hard to tell when these would be sold in the warehouse.

Li Jiayi could only pay for the wine jars first, and paid a deposit of one-third for the remaining ones.

This place is not far from the city. Li Jiayi left the address of the courtyard that Uncle Wu found for him and went back.

The pottery factory will deliver the goods to him by tricycle, and the delivery will start immediately.

So after Li Jiayi returned to the city, he went straight to this yard and waited.

Although the distance is not far, this thing takes up a lot of space!
Moreover, there were only a few tricycles in the clay pot factory, and the delivery took until after three in the afternoon to complete.

After the people from the clay pot factory left, Li Jiayi collected the wine jars and then entered the space.

With a wave of his hand, all the wine jars were moved to the pool of water at the back, and then he began to clean them.

Of course, Li Jiayi doesn't need to do it himself, it's just a matter of thought.

After cleaning, Li Jiayi peeled off the water and put it in the yard for use at any time.

When Li Jiayi returned home, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon. By this time, He Yuzhu had already left.

Even Liao Kai had already returned.

He missed a lot of things in order to get these wine jars!
He originally wanted to talk to He Yuzhu, but it seems he will have to wait until next time.

But Li Jiayi was still very excited to be able to buy these wine jars. At least he had something to store the brewed wine.

When he returned to the room, Li Aimin was sleeping in a rocking chair with the fan whirring. It was obvious that he had drunk a lot at noon.

You know, He Yuzhu is also a heavy drinker, so Li Aimin can drink less when he goes to accompany him drinking.

Li Jiayi took a large enamel pot outside to clean it, then returned to the house, put a handful of tea leaves in it, and then poured boiling water into it.

"Hey, my son is back?" Li Aimin woke up just as he made the tea.

This made Li Jiayi seriously doubt whether he was awake just now, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence!
"Did you just wake up or have you been awake for a long time?" Li Jiayi asked puzzledly.

"Of course I just woke up! What's the matter?" Li Aimin asked.

"Nothing, would you like some tea?"

"Have a drink! I drank a little too much at noon." Li Aimin rubbed his head and said.

"By the way, Dad! How's it going?"

Li Aimin brought over the enamel mug that had just been filled with tea, took a sip and said, "What else can we do? It's done. I guess we'll get the marriage certificate in the next few days and then have the wedding."

"Ah! So fast?"

Li Jiayi thought that it would take at least half a year or several months to get married, after all, the bride price had just been paid.

In fact, getting married is very simple in this era. He Yuzhu and Qian Meilin have been together for a relatively long time.

There are many cases where couples meet on the first day, give the betrothal gift on the second day, and then get married directly.

This may seem incredible in later generations, but in this era, it is very normal.

At this time, although the country advocates free love, how many people actually practice free love?

Basically, it is all arranged by parents and matchmakers.

As for whether it was an arranged marriage, no one cared at all.

"That's fast! How long has it been since Meilian went to He Yuzhu's house?"

"Uh! All right!"

Li Aimin put down the enamel pot, looked at Li Jiayi and asked, "Son, why do I feel that you are quite interested in He Yuzhu?"

Li Jiayi smiled and said, "Dad, you are right. I am indeed more interested in He Yuzhu. The dish you had for lunch today was made by He Yuzhu, right?"

"Yeah!" Li Aimin nodded.

"So what do you think of the food he cooks?"

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Aimin thought for a moment and said, "It's no worse than what Liao Kai did."

"Right! So what I'm interested in is his cooking skills."

"Ah! What are you planning now?"

"Well, it's not a good idea to keep the East Courtyard empty all the time! Right now the gate to Courtyard No. 5 is closed, and people don't know if there's an owner there yet, but it won't work for a long time."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Aimin frowned and said, "That's true."

"Then what do you think if I rent the East Courtyard to someone else?"

"Rent it to someone else? Who? Could it be He Yuzhu?"

"Don't worry about who it is. Just tell me, am I doing the right thing?"

Li Aimin thought for a moment and said, "It's definitely right to rent it out! Besides, if someone lives in the house, no one will say anything."

Housing is quite tight now. If you have a house but don't live in it, it would be a waste and someone will report you for it.

Li Jia's family has too many houses, and now this yard alone is not even full, so how can they possibly move over there?

Besides, it would be obviously inappropriate for him to live there alone, and even if he went to live there, he would only go there to sleep at night.

This is obviously not in compliance with regulations.

"Son, you don't really want to rent the house to He Yuzhu, do you? Don't forget that He Yuzhu works in Dongzhimen, and living here is more than twice as far away from his workplace."

"Dad, if He Yuzhu lived here, he wouldn't go to work in Dongzhimen. Do you think that with He Yuzhu's cooking skills, he would not be wanted at the Second Steel Rolling Mill?"

"That's right! Not to mention the Second Steel Rolling Mill, even the Woolen Mill would probably be vying for it."

Li Jiayi shook his head and said, "Forget about the wool spinning mill, because it is not in the same system as the steel rolling mill."

You should know that He Yuzhu's later opportunities were all related to a leader, who was from the metallurgical system.

As long as He Yuzhu is still in the metallurgical system, he will not miss this opportunity, but if he goes to another system, he will miss it.

Li Jiayi wanted He Yuzhu to be his free chef, but he also didn't want to ruin He Yuzhu's opportunity!
"By the way, son, how did you convince He Yuzhu to move here? And he already has a house over there!"

"Dad, don't worry about this! He Yuzhu's house is private property. No matter where he goes, no one will move his house, and he can also rent it out!"

You have to know that the house where He Yuzhu lives is the main house! Together with his sister's side room, the area is not small, even larger than the area of ​​their five rooms.

Of course, this refers to the area of ​​the house.

A house like that is definitely very easy to rent out.

The most important thing is that the rent is not low, and it is enough to rent Li Jiayi’s house.

"Even if that's the case, they still don't want to come here! They have their own houses and they come to rent your house."

"Dad, Sister Meilian doesn't seem to have a job, right?"

"Uh!"

No one knows a son better than his father! After Li Jiayi said this, Li Aimin understood what was going on.

My son is planning to lure people over with a job opportunity!

It's just a job quota. It might be troublesome for others, but it's easy for my son to do.

Not only that, you can also make some money from it.

In fact, even if he didn't give Meilan money to find a job, Li Jiayi was still prepared to ask for a job.

He gave the extra job quota to Sun Qingmin, and of course he planned to get a quota for Aunt Xu's son Zheng Changrong after some time.

If you go get it now, you’ll only need one more at most.

One or two job vacancies may be a bit troublesome in a small factory, but for some large factories, it is nothing.

Yes, this time Li Jiayi still plans to ask for a quota from the woolen mill.

"Don't just think about getting a spot for others, get one for your second brother next year."

"Don't worry, Dad! My second brother's spot has already been reserved, and he can get it at any time, but let's wait until he graduates from junior high school!"

Graduating from junior high school and not graduating are two completely different concepts!
If you graduate from junior high school, it is easy to get a clerk position, but if you don't graduate from junior high school, it is not easy to get a clerk position.

Even if he did it, it would be very troublesome because he didn't meet the requirements without a junior high school diploma.

It’s fine if no one has a crooked mouth, but it’s troublesome if someone does.

You have to know that no matter which factory it is, there are many people eyeing the clerk position and everyone wants it.

"Well! I'm just reminding you so that you won't fail to get it when the time comes." Li Aimin said.

"Dad, you underestimate your son. He is just a clerk. As long as he meets the requirements of his second brother, there will be no problem at all."

Of course Li Aimin knew this! He also knew that this hard requirement was actually a junior high school graduation.

Graduating from junior high school is just a mandatory requirement, but meeting the mandatory requirement does not necessarily mean that one can be employed as a clerk.

You know, many high school graduates are still working as apprentices in factories! Forget about junior high school graduates.

Cadre positions, that is, administrative positions, have a hard requirement of graduating from a technical secondary school. If you cannot meet this requirement, it is basically impossible to get a cadre position.

Of course, this does not apply to the past. For example, many cadres in woolen mills now only have a junior high school diploma.

But in the past, a junior high school diploma was considered very good, and even considered a high level of education.

"By the way, Dad, my eldest sister will graduate from technical secondary school next year. Where do you plan to let her work?"

"What do you mean where to work? Isn't this assigned by the school?" Li Aimin asked after a pause.

"You are right, the school makes the allocation, but if there is a receiving unit, it will be directly designated."

"Ah! Is there such a thing?"

"Of course, otherwise why do some people go to good units and some go to factories?"

"Son, then tell me, where would be a good place for your elder sister to work after graduation?"

Li Jiayi thought for a moment and said, "There are three choices."

"Which three?"

“First, go to work in the Ministry of Light Industry.

Second, go to work at the Public Security Bureau.

Third, I can go to the army. I can still help in these three areas, but I can’t help in other areas.”

"Ah! Son, the Ministry of Light Industry is also OK?"

"It's possible, but it's very likely that he will be assigned to work in the Industrial Bureau."

"That's good too! At least it's better than going to the factory."

"Yes, but Dad, this depends on what the eldest sister thinks. It seems that she has other ideas."

"That's right. Your eldest sister has a good personality, but she also has her own ideas. Let her make her own choice when the time comes. Whatever she chooses is what she gets."

"Ok!"

Li Jiayi admires his father very much for this, as he never interferes with his children's choices.

Unlike some parents who want to interfere in everything under the banner of doing good for you.

Including which university you go to, what major you study, where you go to work after graduation, etc.

They even interfere with dating, not to mention marriage, where the interference is even more severe.

"Oh, son, don't tell your eldest sister about this for now. Wait until you are about to graduate before telling her."

"I see. Don't worry about that."

The eldest sister can choose, but the second sister doesn't need to choose. She is the material for office work. There is nothing we can do about it! Who made her lazy? Only office work is more suitable for her.

Li Jiayi also pulled over a recliner and lay down, holding a small enamel pot.

"Oh! The weather is getting hotter and hotter." said Li Aimin.

"That's because you drank hot tea."

"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about the weather," said Li Aimin.

"That's normal! It's almost August, and it's bound to get hotter every day."

To be honest, Li Jiayi now misses the air conditioners of later generations! Although he has space, and it is more comfortable than air conditioning, he can't stay in space all the time!
Because it was a day off today, dinner was prepared very early and eaten early as well. Ye Xin had already finished preparing dinner at just half past five.

To be honest, Li Jiayi was not hungry at that time, but he still sat down and ate some.

After dinner, the second sister brought out a watermelon, and Li Jiayi took a fruit knife to cut the watermelon.

She can eat less rice, but she can't miss the watermelon, especially the two kilograms. Ever since Li Jia started bringing watermelons home, my second sister has eaten much less fruit.

But even so, their family never lacked fruit, whether it was apples, peaches, pears, or grapes, there was always a supply.

After eating the watermelon, the second sister sent the remaining large piece to Liao Kai's house, while Li Jiayi left home alone.

Soon Li Jiayi arrived at the central courtyard and knocked on Aunt Xu's door.

The door opened quickly. It was Zheng Changrong who opened it. When he saw that it was Li Jiayi, he quickly said, "Come in."

"Well! Have you eaten?" Li Jiayi asked.

"Not yet, my mother is working on it."

"Oh!"

After entering the room, Zheng Changrong closed the door and asked, "Jiayi, what are you doing here?"

"It's indeed something." After saying that, he took out a handful of food coupons from his pocket.

"Jiayi, what are you doing?" Zheng Changrong asked in shock.

Because he saw that Li Jiayi had a lot of food coupons in his hands.
