Chapter 317: Planning, Heartbeat ( words)

This can be seen from the fact that Liao Kai can get off work on time every day.

The woolen mill also used connections, but it only used materials to do so. By giving away some of the materials, the relationships were established and became particularly strong.

The most important thing is that the things given away are not given for free, they have to be bought with money, but even so, others are still grateful.

The third steel rolling mill is different. It’s all about eating and drinking all day long. Today they entertain this person, tomorrow they entertain that person.

They did eat a lot, but they didn't get anything done. It's not He Yuzhu's fault that he kept saying that they were drinking the workers' blood.

More than forty minutes later, He Yuzhu and Ma Hua came over, both carrying a tray.

There were four dishes on each tray, and there was also a bowl of soup on the tray held by He Yuzhu.

"Brother Zhuzi." Li Jiayi stood up quickly.

"Why are you standing up? Sit down now."

"Okay, by the way, Brother Zhuzi, have you finished cooking for those people?"

"It has been cooked a long time ago. They have already finished eating and left. The reason why it took so long is that I am cooking for you." He Yuzhu said.

"I see! That's great. Come, sit down and eat together. There are so many dishes that we can't finish them both."

"Okay, then I won't be polite." He Yuzhu put the dishes in place and sat down directly.

"Brother, please sit down and eat with us!" Li Jiayi said quickly when he saw Ma Hua arranging the dishes and standing aside.

"Ma Hua, why are you standing there? Didn't I hear you sit down?"

"Ah! Master, I..."

"Okay, stop being so fussy and sit down to eat. It's not a big deal if they add one more bite."

He Yuzhu already knew that Li Jiayi was capable and could get meat and even many things that others could not get.

The last time he went to Qian Meilin's house, all the ingredients were brought by Li Jiayi, which made him feel incredible.

Although he was a little skeptical before, today when Li Jiayi came to him and asked him to cook a few dishes and then looked at the ingredients he brought, he believed it 100%.

"That's the plus one! There's no wine here, so I can't toast you." He Yuzhu said.

"Want to drink? I have some here." After saying that, he went over and opened the schoolbag, took out a bottle of Moutai from the schoolbag, and also took out two kettles.

"Hiss, this is Moutai." He Yuzhu shouted in surprise when he saw the wine Li Jiayi took out.

"That's right, this is for you. I'm still young and can't drink liquor, so I'll just have some beer." After saying that, he raised the kettle.

"Ah! Jiayi, that won't do. This wine is too expensive. You'd better pack it up!"

In terms of price, Moutai is not expensive, but it is not easy to buy Moutai. You must have a ticket to buy it.

However, it is not easy to get a ticket for Moutai liquor. If you don’t have a certain level, you can’t get one at all.

This is also the reason why ordinary people cannot buy Moutai.

Normally, Moutai costs only RMB 2.97 a bottle, while an ordinary bottle of Niulanshan Erguotou costs 70 or 80 cents.

Normally, the price of a bottle of Moutai is just enough to buy four bottles of Erguotou, but many people are still willing to buy it.

The reason why I didn't buy it is because this thing requires a ticket! And it's a Maotai liquor ticket.

The value of the ticket itself is much more expensive than the wine, which is why He Yuzhu said so.

"Brother Zhuzi, just drink it! It's just a bottle of Moutai, it's not worth much."

"Is this wine expensive?" Lin Ling'er asked at this time.

"It's expensive, very expensive," said He Yuzhu.

"I have a lot of it at home, and there are many wines that are more expensive than this one."

In the eyes of others, wine that costs a few dollars a bottle is definitely not cheap, but in Lin Linger's eyes, Moutai wine that costs a few dollars a bottle can be said to be very cheap.

"Uh!"

He Yuzhu was speechless. No wonder Li Jiayi didn't take the wine seriously! It turned out that he didn't care at all.

At the same time, He Yuzhu felt emotional, no wonder Li Jiayi could get so many things that others couldn’t get, it turned out that he found a good girlfriend!

Unfortunately, he was wrong. The fact that Li Jiayi was able to get so many things had nothing to do with Lin Linger.

It can even be said that Lin Ling'er's family can eat meat because of Li Jiayi.

As for the fact that Lin Ling'er's family has so many good wines, this is normal. Wine can be stored for a long time and there is no such thing as expiration.

Her family is so rich, so there's nothing wrong with buying more wine. Besides, wine only requires tickets for a few years. In the past, you could buy as much as you wanted as long as you had money.

"Then I'll drink it." He Yuzhu said.

"Drink it! It's just a bottle of wine." Li Jia said indifferently.

"Ok!"

Knowing that Li Jiayi didn't lack this thing and didn't care about it, He Yuzhu didn't have so many concerns.

Li Jiayi opened the kettle, looked at Ma Hua and asked, "Do you want white wine or beer?"

"Uh!"

Seeing Ma Hua's expression, Li Jiayi knew that he didn't understand the difference between white wine and beer, so he said, "I'm asking if you want to drink white wine or beer."

"I don't drink." Ma Hua waved his hand quickly.

"How can a man not drink? Let's drink some beer!" Li Jiayi filled an enamel mug and handed it over.

Ma Hua quickly took it and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"I want to drink too." Lin Ling'er shouted.

"Why would a girl like you drink alcohol?" Li Jiayi said as he took the kettle aside.

"What's wrong with a girl? Besides, I've drunk at home, but it was red wine."

"Hey, you're still drinking red wine?" Li Jiayi asked Lin Ling'er in surprise.

"Yeah! What's the matter?"

"It's better to drink red wine. Never mind, I'll pour you a jug!" Li Jiayi said and shook his head.

To be honest, Li Jiayi has no objection to girls drinking, as long as they don't get drunk and they are not addicted to alcohol.

"Come on, let's have a toast." Seeing that He Yuzhu had already poured the wine, Li Jiayi picked up the enamel mug and said.

"Come on, touch one."

"Cheers." After clinking glasses, Li Jiayi shouted, then tilted his head back and drank the whole jar of beer.

"Great." Li Jiayi put the enamel pot on the table and shouted.

"Hey, this beer is still cold." Lin Ling'er said after taking a sip.

"That's true!" Ma Hua nodded in agreement.

"Come, eat food."

"Hmm! It's delicious." Lin Ling'er said with her eyes lighting up.

"It tastes good, right?" Li Jiayi smiled.

"It's delicious. I didn't expect there would be such a good cook in the steel mill."

"Hehehe, I said I would take you to eat delicious food, so I will take you to eat delicious food. I will definitely not lie to you."

At this time, He Yuzhu put down the enamel pot and said, "Jia Yi! I will marry your sister Meilian in a few days. Brother Zhuzi, please do me a favor!"

"Brother Zhuzi, you say."

"It's like this, I want to have a grand wedding, but as you know, many things are not available, so Brother Zhuzi wants to ask you for a favor."

"Brother Zhuzi, that's all! No problem, leave it to me."

If it was something else, Li Jiayi would think about it, but he just wanted to buy some chicken, fish, meat and eggs, what's the big deal!
"Okay, thank you. Don't worry, I'll pay you what you want. Brother Zhuzi is not short of money now."

"I know you're not short of money, don't worry, I'll definitely prepare everything for you by then. By the way, how many tables do you plan to set up? When will you set them up?"

To get a marriage certificate, you must do it during the working hours of the street office, but to get married, you must do it on Sunday, otherwise it will be noisy and there will be no one around.

"Yes, yes, I know it has to be on Sunday, I just want to know how many tables we need to set up."

"Six tables, maybe! Some people from the hospital, and some from the factory."

"Okay, by the way, are you in need of a chef? I know a good chef! He is the descendant of the royal chef in the palace, and he can cook a full banquet and royal dishes."

Although He Yuzhu is a chef, he can't cook on the wedding day himself! He must find someone else to cook.

"Yes! And the person you are talking about is Master Liao from your hospital, right?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Hahaha, plus one! Even if you don't tell me, I'm going to look for him. I've already discussed this with your sister Meilian."

"I see! It seems I'm worrying for nothing."

"No, no." He Yuzhu waved his hands quickly.

"By the way, Brother Zhuzi, if you want Uncle Liao to help you cook, you must tell him in advance, he is very busy now!"

"I know, don't worry! Your sister Meilian and I have already told him."

"OK then."

"By the way, Jiayi, when you came over just now, you told me that you had something to talk to me about. What was it?"

Li Jia put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Brother Zhuzi, have you ever thought about changing your place of work?"

"Uh!" He Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Add one! Brother Zhuzi has been working here for more than ten years and has no plans to move for the time being."

"Brother Zhuzi, don't rush to refuse. Listen to what I have to say before you consider it."

"Okay! You go ahead."

"I don't need to tell you what the situation is in your courtyard. If you live there, there will be a lot of messy things in the future."

He Yuzhu scratched his head and said, "But what does this have to do with my change of job?"

"Of course it does matter. Not only am I letting you change your place of work, I'm also letting you change your place of residence."

"Change place to live?"

"Yes!" Li Jia nodded.

He Yuzhu said at this time: "Add one! You may not know that my house is a private house. Even if I change my place of work, I can't get a room."

"Of course I know that! You don't need to get a separate room, just rent one directly. As for your house, you can rent it out too."

"Uh!"

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, He Yuzhu was speechless! He didn't know what Li Jiayi was thinking about not living in his own house but renting one.

"Brother Zhuzi, I know what you're thinking. Do you feel that it's a bit silly to rent out a house you don't live in and then rent a house yourself?"

He Yuzhu scratched his head and said, "That's true."

"What if I tell you that if you move to a new place, Sister Meilian can get a formal job?"

"What? Plus one! Are you serious?" He Yuzhu asked in surprise.

"Of course it's true, but if you live where you are now, you can't get this job."

Qian Meilian doesn't have a job. She dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school, mainly because she failed the exam. She has been doing odd jobs over the years.

Qian Guoliang tried many ways but failed to find a formal job for Qian Meilin.

Even if I spent money to buy it, I couldn't find it. Although jobs can be bought with money, there is nothing I can do if I can't get it.

Because there are many people who want to buy jobs, if you want to buy one, the first thing you need to do is to meet someone who is selling it.

He Yuzhu still smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "It still doesn't work."

"Ugh! Why?"

"Plus one! I promised to take care of the deaf old lady until she died. If I move away, I would be breaking my promise."

"Oh my! Brother Zhuzi, why are you so stupid? Can't you take the old lady with you when you move?"

"Ah! Take the old lady with you."

"Yes! I have found a place for you. It's the courtyard next door to mine. You should have seen it. It's exactly the same as our house. Not to mention you and your group, even three or five more people can stay here.

And if the old lady moves in with you, and you rent out her house, it will be enough to pay the rent here."

"Ah! This..."

"Also, Brother Zhuzi, if you come to work here, I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee that your salary will at least be much higher than it is now."

"Really?"

"Of course, if I remember correctly, your current salary is thirty-five dollars and a half, plus the two dollars for the squad leader, that's only thirty-seven dollars and a half, right?"

"Yes."

"If you come here to work, your salary will be at least 48.5 yuan, and with the subsidies, it will definitely be more than 50 yuan."

A cook at level eight only earns thirty-five dollars and fifty cents a month.

Working in a factory, the highest salary for a cook is level six, which is 48.5 yuan per month.

Let's put it this way! For a second-level chef like Liao Kai, if his identity is not a problem, his highest level can be rated as sixth.

But if his actual level exceeds the factory's set price, the factory will help him make up for it in other ways, such as by making him the deputy director of the canteen or something like that, and giving him an extra salary.

But Liao Kai can't do that, so he doesn't receive these subsidies, and he still gets a regular worker's salary of 27.5 yuan per month.

To be honest, He Yuzhu was tempted. Who wouldn't want a higher salary? He had worked at the Third Steel Rolling Mill for so many years, and his salary had basically not increased.

If I say that I don't have any thoughts in my mind, that would be a lie. There's nothing I can do. This matter is the same for everyone.

If you just want the horse to run, you don't give it grass to eat. This is what the Third Steel Rolling Mill can do.

Don't think that He Yuzhu's monthly salary of 37.5 yuan is very high.

Let's put it this way! Any second-level worker in the factory has a higher salary than him. Take a second-level fitter for example, his monthly salary is 38.6 yuan, which is 1.1 yuan higher than He Yuzhu, and this does not include the subsidies for second-level workers.

The basic salary alone was one dollar and one ten cent more than He Yuzhu's, plus the two dollar squad leader allowance.

To be honest, this does not take He Yuzhu seriously at all. With He Yuzhu's cooking skills, no matter where he goes, it is impossible that he is worse than a second-level worker!
So Li Jiayi said that the Third Steel Rolling Mill was not honest and treated He Yuzhu as a fool.

"How about this, Brother Zhuzi? In this case, you and Sister Meilian together will make at least 80 yuan a month."

"Hiss!" He Yuzhu took a breath of cold air.

Eighty yuan a month! He had never thought about it, and this did not include the money he earned from private work outside. If all the work was counted, it would be over a hundred yuan a month.

"Plus one! Can you let me think about it?"

"Of course you can! But I suggest you talk to the old lady. She is more considerate than you think."

"Yeah!" He Yuzhu nodded, then looked at Li Jiayi and said, "By the way, if I remember correctly, the courtyard to the east of the house you live in now seems to be yours, right?"

He Yuzhu also learned this from Qian Meilin.

This is not a secret, because almost everyone in the courtyard knows about it, after all, he was the one who decorated the house.

"Brother Zhuzi, you are right. That is my house. It was allocated to me by the factory. After my renovation, the five rooms have become eight. It can accommodate more than a dozen people without any problem."

He Yuzhu scratched his head and asked, "How much is the rent?"

Speaking of rent, Li Jiayi was speechless because he didn't know how much it should cost!
After thinking for a while, he said, "Brother Zhuzi, if the old lady moves in with you, then the rent will be the rent of the house you and the old lady rent out."

You have to know that whether it is He Yuzhu's house or the old lady's house, they are all private properties. If you rent private properties to others, the rent is not cheap!

The old lady had two rooms, and He Yuzhu's family had three rooms. Of course, one of these three rooms was an ear room.

But even so, if all five houses were rented out, the monthly rent would not be less than ten dollars.

The old lady’s two rooms, plus the two rooms where He Yuzhu lives, are all the main rooms!

Especially the two rooms where He Yuzhu lived. They were master bedrooms in the past, and the rent was definitely not cheap.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go back and think about it and give you an answer in a few days."

"Well! Once you've thought it over, I'll start making arrangements."

To be honest, Li Jiayi didn't want to deal with the Second Steel Rolling Mill because of Ying Jiasheng.

Although Ying Jiasheng was demoted to the lowest position, Li Jiayi was still very angry.

Even now, he would not deal with the Second Steel Rolling Mill, as for He Yuzhu going to work at the Second Steel Rolling Mill.

There is no need for him to show up. He can just find Liu Feng from the machine repair factory when the time comes.

You know, the machine repair factory and the steel mill are also brother units! If Liu Feng introduces a particularly good chef to the steel mill, the steel mill will definitely be happy.

"By the way, Brother Zhuzi, do you have a chef's license?"

"Cook's license?"

"Yup!"

"No." He Yuzhu shook his head.

"No way, Brother Zhuzi, with your cooking skills, it won't be easy to get a chef's license."

"The factory did mention this at the beginning, but I thought it was useless, so I didn't take the exam."

Hearing what He Yuzhu said, Li Jiayi was completely speechless.

But if you think about He Yuzhu's personality, it is understandable because He Yuzhu has always been like this.

In his opinion, whether one has skills or not cannot be proved by a chef's certificate.

"Brother Zhuzi, I advise you to take a test and get a certificate when you have time! If you have a second-level or first-level chef certificate, your salary will definitely not be less than 80 yuan."

"Add one! You must be kidding! The factory can only be rated level six at most, how is it possible to get only eighty yuan?" He Yuzhu shook his head and said.

"Brother Zhuzi, you are right, but if you have a chef certificate, the factory will make up for it in other ways, such as letting you serve as deputy director of the canteen and receive another salary."

"Is this true? Is this still possible?"

"Why not? Because the factory is afraid that you will run away. You have to know that even if you only have a second-level chef certificate, if you work in those big restaurants, you will be the head chef!"

"This... Is it too late for me to take the exam now?"

"It's still in time. I heard from Uncle Liao that if someone has never taken the exam before, they can directly take the third level exam for the first time."

When the grading was first started, there was no such rule. At that time, students were given the level that they could pass.

It has been a few years since the grading assessment, and the regulations have also changed. Now, for the first time taking the exam, the highest level you can get is a level three chef.

Even if you can pass the first level, at most you can only be issued a third-level chef certificate, and then you can take the exam again every year.

It's just in time for He Yuzhu to take the exam now.

You should know that the grading examination was stopped in 1966 and was not resumed until the end of the ten-year period.

"Well! Then I will take a day off tomorrow to sign up." "That's right."

"Also, Brother Zhuzi, this chef certificate is very important. With it, not only will your salary be higher, but even when you retire in the future, your pension will also be much higher!"

"What the hell? How does this have anything to do with pension?" He Yuzhu stood up and asked.

"Of course! It's called technical level."

"I understand. I will definitely get my chef license."

"now it's right."

Li Jiayi didn't know whether it was related or not. He said it on purpose just to make He Yuzhu pay attention.

It seems that the effect is good. He Yuzhu is really concerned about it now, and this is what he wants to see.

But he was right about one thing, that is, if you have a chef certificate, the factory cannot give you such a high level and will compensate you from other places.

This is not false at all, it is absolutely true.

Four people could not finish eight dishes and one soup, so Ma Hua packed up the leftovers.

Now He Yuzhu no longer brings leftovers to that family of vampires, so he no longer carries a lunch box.

Ma Hua was feeling a little depressed. At this time, Li Jiayi walked over, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry! If Brother Zhuzi leaves, he will definitely take you away."

"Really?"

"of course."

"Yeah!" Ma Hua nodded quickly.

Ma Hua is a good person! He has nothing to say about He Yuzhu.

He truly lived up to the saying that a teacher is a father for life.

As for He Yuzhu's other apprentice, the fat man, no one knows where he is now!

At present, He Yuzhu has only this one apprentice, and he has only been accepted for a short time.

After Ma Hua left, He Yuzhu looked at Li Jiayi and asked, "Why did you say I would take Ma Hua away?"

Li Jiayi looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Brother Zhuzi, let me tell you this! Accepting Ma Hua as your apprentice is definitely the best thing you have done in your life."

"Is this true?" He Yuzhu couldn't believe it.

The main reason is that he has only taken over Ma Hua for a short time. To put it bluntly, he doesn't have many feelings for him yet.

"Of course it's true! You'll know this later. Anyway, you're right if you listen to me. Even if you don't work there, I'll still tell you this."

"Yeah! I understand."

"Okay then, we'll go first."

"Okay, slow down on the road."

"Ok!"

After Lin Ling'er sat down, Li Jiayi drove away on the tricycle.

He Yuzhu was left standing there alone.

Li Jiayi took out his pocket watch and saw that it was already past seven o'clock, so he hurried towards Ci Qi Kou.

"Li Jiayi, He Yuzhu is a really good cook. Let's come and eat together next time when we have time."

Li Jiayi thought for a moment and said, "I guess we won't be able to eat here next time, but it doesn't matter, we can eat somewhere else."

"Uh-huh!"

Twenty minutes later, Li Jiayi sent Lin Linger to the gate of her villa.

"Okay, we're home, come in!"

"Yes!" Lin Ling'er got off the tricycle and said, "Be careful on the road."

"I understand." After saying that, he waved his hand and drove away on the tricycle.

Looking at Li Jiayi's leaving back, Lin Linger felt helpless. She didn't understand why Li Jiayi was unwilling to contact her family.

When Li Jiayi arrived home, it was just getting dark. At this time, the family was eating watermelon and enjoying the fans in the main room.

"Son, have you eaten?" Ye Xin asked quickly when she saw him come in.

"I have eaten at the Third Steel Rolling Mill."

"Wait, son, where did you say you ate?" Li Aimin asked.

"The Third Steel Rolling Mill! What's going on?"

"Why did you go there?"

Li Jiayi shrugged and said, "I am taking a friend out for dinner, but you are not here either. Although all the restaurants outside are open now, there is really nothing to eat. I had no choice but to bring some dishes to the Third Steel Rolling Mill and asked He Yuzhu to cook for us."

"So this is ah!"

"But you are really something, now you start to order me around." Li Aimin shook his head speechlessly.

"Dad, what you said is not what I ordered him to do. Besides, he ate the food I cooked."

"You!"

He knew what his son was like, but he couldn't say anything.

Time flies and it is August. This August should be the hottest month this year.

The dog days of summer began on July 21, 1962. The first dog days lasted ten days, just in time to finish July.

The first day of August is the first day of the dog days of summer. You can imagine how hot the weather is now.

Let me put it this way, even if you do nothing and just sit there to rest, you will immediately start to sweat.

Not to mention others, even Li Jiayi stayed in the house. Not only did he turn on the fan, he also put a lot of ice cubes in the house.

It can be said that his life was so luxurious! Even the little girl Liao Qingxue stayed at his house all day long.

Xu Wenwen had already returned to the factory to work, and Liao Qingxue was sent to the woolen mill nursery.

But it's too hot now, so she doesn't go to the nursery anymore and stays at Li Jia's house every day.

Fortunately, it is summer vacation now, Li Jiaqi, Li Jialin and Li Jiafen are all at home, so there is someone to play with her, otherwise she would have to stay in the nursery.

Yes, a nursery is not a kindergarten and there is no such thing as winter and summer vacations. As long as the adults are still at work, the nursery is always open.

The reason for this nursery is because the adults are all at work and there is no one to look after the children.

"Brother Jiayi." Liao Qingxue walked up to Li Jiayi and shouted while looking at the enamel pot in his hand.

"Qingxue! You can't drink this, it's too cold. How about this! Brother will pour you some juice at room temperature."

"Uh-huh!"

There was no other way, Li Jiayi could only bring over an enamel mug and pour half of it for her.

Li Jiayi always drinks with ice, which is fine for him to drink, but not for the little girl.

"Okay, go play with the elder sister and the second sister. I want to take a nap."

"it is good."

This little girl is very obedient. Although she is a little clingy, she is quite sensible.

If it were another child, if you didn't give her something cold to drink, she would probably cry for a while.

At this moment, Li Jialin ran out of the house, came to Li Jiayi and stretched out her hand.

"what?"

"Iced juice."

"No."

"younger brother……"

"Uh..." Li Jiayi rubbed his arm and said, "Don't shout anymore. Look, I have goose bumps all over my body."

"Then give me iced juice."

"Second sister, it's not that I won't give it to you, but this iced juice is not good for you to drink."

"No, you're still drinking!"

"I'm a boy, unlike you. Girls should eat less cold food. How about this! I'll pour you a jar of room temperature food."

"No, I want it iced."

"Sister, it's not good for you to drink it cold."

"I don't care, I want it chilled, and I want watermelon juice." After saying that, he blinked his big eyes at Li Jiayi.

"I really lost to you. Wait."

Li Jiayi took an enamel pot, picked up the kettle and poured her a pot of water.

"Wow, this one tastes better when it's cold, and it feels cool when you drink it." Li Jialin exclaimed after taking a sip.

"That's enough. This is the only jar we have this morning. Once we finish it, there will be no more."

"Uh-huh!"

Li Jiayi was also helpless about his second sister.

To Li Jiayi, who had lived through two lives, this girl was just a little girl! But he just couldn't do anything with her.

Because of the ice, the temperature in the room was only over 20 degrees. While drinking, Li Jiayi actually fell asleep on the recliner.

When he woke up, it was already around eleven in the morning.

At this time, the eldest sister came out of the room and saw that he had just woken up and asked, "Little brother, are you awake?"

"Yes, sis."

"What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you."

"Big sister, don't cook for lunch. It's too hot today. Don't get a heat stroke. Let me buy some food for lunch."

"That won't work, I'd better do it!"

Li Jiayi quickly got up from the recliner, pulled her and said, "Sister, don't worry! What I bought is definitely nutritious."

Of course Li Jiayi knew what his elder sister was thinking. She was worried that the food she bought would not be nutritious.

Speaking of this, it's also my mother's fault. During this period of time, my mother has been telling me every day that I should eat nutritious food so that I can grow taller.

Under such circumstances, how could the eldest sister let him eat something that was not nutritious?

"Really?"

"Of course it's real. You'll see when I buy it back. It's definitely nutritious."

"OK then!"

"Sister, come, drink some juice first." Li Jiayi poured a jar of peach juice at room temperature for Li Jiaqi.

"Thank you, little brother."

"You're welcome. If anyone wants to thank you, it should be me. You've always taken care of me, big sister."

"Little brother, how can I take care of you? That's what I should do."

In this day and age, there is no such thing as should or should! Even parents don’t have such a thing as should.

At half past eleven, Li Jiayi came out of the house and drove out on his tricycle.

This time we drove the type with a canopy, and this carriage had been replaced two days ago.

There's no way. The weather outside is too hot and the sun is quite strong. After being in the sun for a while, my skin feels like it's being pricked by needles.

So Li Jiayi installed this carriage with a canopy, which could at least block the sun.

As for the fact that the tricycle cannot carry so many things after installing this thing, it doesn’t matter to Li Jiayi.

He has no plans to go out and sell things now, so why should he pack so many things?

As for delivering things to the black market and Mr. Wu and others, there is no need to use a tricycle to carry them.

I walked around outside for about half an hour, and it wasn't that hot because the tricycle was running all the time.

Feeling that the time was almost up, Li Jiayi returned home and put the lunch box on the eight-immortals table.

He brought back six dishes in total, two hot dishes and four cold dishes. To be honest, I really didn't want to eat the hot dishes in such a hot weather.

But there is no other way, it has to be nutritious! Braised pork and beef brisket stewed with tomatoes should be nutritious!
There are four cold dishes, one is cold vermicelli, one is cold cucumber, and the other are shredded pig ears and pork liver.

After opening all the lunch boxes, Li Jiayi asked, "Sister, are these nutritious?"

"Ok!"

"Then wash your hands and eat!"

"it is good."

My eldest sister and the others hurried into the house to wash their hands. Yes, it was too hot outside, so they could only go to the bathroom to wash their hands.

The staple food was steamed buns, and Li Jiayi took out four steamed buns.

There was no point in taking more as they couldn't finish them all. He, his eldest sister and his cousin each took one.

As for the second sister, she hardly eats staple food. With so many dishes, she can go without staple food.

Even if they ate it, he and Liao Qingxue probably wouldn't be able to finish one.

"Eat!" Li Jiayi said after they came out after washing their hands.

"Brother Jiayi, which restaurant makes this dish? It's not bad, but it's far from what Uncle Liao makes."

Li Jiayi picked up a steamed bun and stuffed it into Li Jiafen's mouth and said, "Eating can't stop your mouth. It's good to have something to eat."

I don't know if this is considered as being angry out of shame, he is also helpless! He did exactly what Liao Kai did!
Even the seasonings used are exactly the same, but the resulting products are really incomparable.

"Jiafen! You can't have such high requirements. How many chefs in those restaurants out there can compare with Uncle Liao?" Li Jialin said at this time.

"All right!"

Although they said it didn't taste good, the girl ate quite a bit, and even the little girl Liao Qingxue was the same.

We finished all six dishes in the end, mainly because the room was relatively cool.

If it's as hot as outside, no one would have an appetite, especially for Li Jiayi's family.

Because my stomach is full of oil and water! If the weather is really too hot, I really don’t have much appetite.

After dinner, the eldest sister took the lunch box to wash it.

Because there were so few people, Li Jiayi did not open the watermelon, but just poured each person a glass of room temperature watermelon juice.

"Sister, I'm going upstairs to take a nap."

"Well, let's go!"

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

After arriving at the space, Li Jiayi went to the processing workshop first.

After several days of distillation, more than a ton of sorghum was brewed into wine, and it was 53% alcohol.

As for how to control the alcohol content, of course it is through blending. The alcohol content will be high at the beginning, and then it will become lower and lower later.

The wine brewed from more than a ton of sorghum was not even enough to fill twelve 100-jin wine jars.

In other words, only more than 1,100 kilograms were brewed.

Of course, this also has something to do with Li Jiayi. He was afraid that the alcohol content would be too low, so he stopped steaming each pot at the end.

In this case, the alcohol content is higher, but the yield is lower.

Let me put it this way! If the temperature is controlled at 50 degrees, at least an extra 100 pounds can be gained without any problem.

But this is okay. Although the twelfth wine jar is not full, it is still half full.

After Li Jiayi sealed the mouth, he placed the wine jars outside the courtyard.

In this case, as long as one month has passed outside, the wine will have been stored for more than two years.

At that time, not only can you drink it, but you can also continue to store it, and even store it for as long as you want.

After finishing all this, Li Jiayi took a shower and went to rest.

When he woke up, it was already 2:30 in the afternoon. It was mainly because he took up some time to make the wine, otherwise he would have woken up at 2 o'clock.

Li Jiayi got up, washed his face, changed his clothes, and then came out of the space.

After opening the door, Li Jiayi walked downstairs, and then he heard a commotion in the house.

Li Jiayi shook his head. It turned out that his second sister and the others were playing cards. They were really free!
When Li Jia came down, he found that there were also Sun Qingmei from Grandpa Sun's family, Shao Ningxia from Aunt Cheng's family, and Zheng Lingling from Aunt Xu's family.

Among the three of them, the oldest is Sun Qingmei, who is fourteen years old and the same age as Li Jiayi.

The youngest is Zheng Lingling, who is only nine years old.

And Shao Ningxia is only twelve years old this year.

As for the people playing cards, it was of course the second sister Li Jialin, cousin Li Jialin, then Sun Qingmin and Shao Ningxia.

The eldest sister was not playing, but she and Zheng Lingling were watching the little girl Liao Qingxue.

This little girl is really restless! It's really hard to watch her when she goes crazy.

Looking at the half-eaten watermelon on the table, Li Jiayi didn't say anything.

It’s just a watermelon, he really doesn’t care. Not to mention a watermelon, he wouldn’t say anything even if they were given meat.

Girls! Who doesn’t have a few close girlfriends and friends?

"Brother Jiayi." The little girl had sharp eyes. She saw Li Jiayi as soon as he came down and hurried over.

Li Jiayi squatted down, picked her up and asked, "Did you take a nap?"

After asking, he felt that it was unnecessary to ask. If he slept, he would not be able to play cards here.

Sure enough, the little girl shook her head and said, "No."

"Are you sleepy?"

"not sleepy!"

"Okay! It's okay if you're not sleepy. Come, brother will give you some candy." Li Jiayi took out a few White Rabbit milk candies and handed them over.

"Thank you, Brother Jiayi." The little girl said quickly.

"You're welcome."
