Chapter 346 Two Years
This step in cooking lobster is very important. After poking the urethra, wash the lobster clean and steam it in a pot.

Li Jiayi started to prepare the seasoning. The simplest one was of course minced garlic, and then a little light soy sauce.

Of course, the soy sauce was taken from the space! I bought it from the Americans for free, and there was a lot of it. I probably couldn't finish it in my lifetime.

After having a delicious seafood meal alone at noon, Li Jiayi returned to his room and took a nap.

Although I have rested on time every day these days, I still feel tired after running out.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jiayi came out of the house and took out a pile of seafood and put it in the kitchen.

Around half past five, Li Jiayi was drinking tea alone in the house when Li Jiafen came back on her bicycle.

"Brother Jiayi, when did you come back?" Li Jiafen asked in surprise.

"I came back this morning. How is school going? The exam is coming soon, right?" Li Jiayi asked.

"It won't be that fast! It will take some time." Li Jiafen said helplessly.

She also wants to have a holiday earlier so that she can have more time to play, but now the junior high school class hours are extended and the holiday will not start until mid-July.

"That's a good thing! I can study for a little longer."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Li Jiafen curled her lips. She didn't think it was a good thing. Who doesn't want to play for a while longer?

After a while, Ye Xin and Li Aimin also came back on their bicycles.

Seeing Li Jiayi, he parked his bike and asked, "Son, what's going on with that jeep outside?"

Li Aimin focuses on different things than others.

For example, when Ye Xin saw Li Jiayi, she put down her bicycle, came over and hugged him and asked, "Son, is everything okay this time?"

"Mom, what can happen to me? Isn't this fine?"

"That's fine, that's fine."

At this time, Li Aimin came over and said, "Son, you haven't answered my question yet!"

"What?"

"I said, what's going on with that jeep at the door?"

"Oh! You mean the jeep? That's my car."

"What? Your car?"

"Yup!"

Originally, Li Aimin thought that Li Jiayi had borrowed the jeep from some factory.

This may be difficult for others, but for my son, it is not a difficult thing.

But he never expected that his son would say that the jeep was his.

"Son, you don't have a fever, do you?" He said as he was about to touch Li Jiayi's head.

"I'm fine, otherwise why do you think I went out this time?" Li Jiayi rolled his eyes at him.

At the same time, I also told a lie, but it was a white lie.

There was no other way! How else could I explain it? I could only tell a little lie and say that I went out just for this jeep.

"Son, are you saying that you went out this time just for this car, and this car is yours?"

"That's right. If you don't believe me, take a look at this." Li Jiayi took out the driving license and handed it over.

Li Aimin quickly took it and looked at it, and said in surprise: "This is really your name."

"Why would I lie to you?" Li Jia said as he snatched the driving license.

"Hahaha, my son is awesome! He even drives a jeep. Come on, take dad out for a stroll."

"Li Aimin, I see you have nothing to do, right? Why are you still wandering around at this time?" Ye Xin shouted.

"Uh!" Li Aimin touched his nose and said, "Okay! We'll talk about it later when we have time."

"Right! I brought back some seafood this time. I asked Uncle Liao and the others to come over and see how to prepare it. We'll have seafood tonight."

"seafood?"

"Correct."

"Okay! Then go ahead and call!"

Just at this moment He Yuzhu came in from outside, Li Jiayi hurriedly shouted: "Brother Zhuzi, wait a moment."

"What's the matter, Jiayi?" He Yuzhu stopped and asked.

"Brother Zhuzi, I brought back some seafood and wanted to show you, Uncle Liao, and Uncle Nan how to cook it."

"Seafood?" He Yuzhu asked with his eyes lighting up.

"Well! It's in the kitchen, go and take a look." Li Jiayi pointed to the kitchen and said.

He Yuzhu quickly tied up the bicycle and ran into the kitchen.

As for Li Jiayi, he came out of the cross-yard and shouted directly: "Uncle Liao, Uncle Nan."

"What's wrong, Jiayi?" Nan Yi had just entered the house when he heard Li Jiayi's voice coming out of the house and asking.

"Uncle Nan, I brought back some seafood. I wonder if you can cook it. Let me ask you to come over and take a look."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Liao Kai also came out of the house at this time. In Liao Kai's eyes, no one is more important than his wife and children.

So when he came back, he would go into the house and would not go out unless it was necessary.

"Uncle Liao." Li Jiayi also shouted when he saw Liao Kai coming out.

"You go back first, I'll be there soon."

"okay."

When Li Jiayi returned to the cross-courtyard, his eldest brother, second brother and eldest sister had also returned from get off work.

He Yuzhu had already taken out all the seafood that Li Jiayi had taken out.

It is being placed by the sink for cleaning.

"So many seafood?" Nan Yi came up and said.

"Don't be sentimental, come over and give me a hand." He Yuzhu said to Nan Yi.

"Okay, today I'm going to show off my skills."

"Come on! You're a local chef, how can you cook seafood?"

"Hey Zhuzi, don't look down on me, what's wrong with me cooking local dishes? I can still make a few seafood dishes."

Just at this time, Liao Kai also came over and was also surprised to see such a large amount of seafood.

But he didn't say anything, and went up to help directly.

In fact, when one’s cooking skills reach their level, they can basically cook any dish.

How to say cooking? If you know one thing, you know everything.

"We're in for a treat tonight," Li Jiayi shouted.

"I'll go move the table out," said the eldest brother.

"I'll go call for help." The second brother said and ran towards the east yard.

Soon, the yard of Li Jiayi's house became lively. Except for two people who could not come, everyone came here.

Including Damao and his four siblings, and the girl Liao Qingxue.

With three chefs, of course the food is cooked quickly! And seafood is easier to cook.

In less than an hour, a variety of seafood was placed on several round tables.

He Yuzhu and Liao Kai picked out some food that was suitable for the breastfeeding period and sent it back, and then everyone started eating.

The purpose of seafood is to enjoy it fresh, so everyone enjoys it very much.

"You have to drink alcohol when eating this stuff! Otherwise it's boring." Li Aimin said.

"Yes, white wine is best." He Yuzhu nodded in agreement.

"What are you waiting for! Cheng Qian, go get some wine." Li Aimin shouted.

"Okay uncle."

Seeing his father like this, Li Jiayi was speechless! If you want to drink, just say so. Why make a fuss?

But thinking of his mother sitting next to him, Li Jiayi also understood.

He did this on purpose! This way, Mom can't save his face.

Anyway, this was a very enjoyable meal. After all, this is the capital city, and seafood is rarely available.

Everyone enjoyed the seafood meal very much, even Ye Xin.

After dinner, my mother took He Yushui and the others to start cleaning up, and the men went into the house to drink tea.

But Li Jiayi didn't do that. He went straight upstairs and entered the space.

We have brought out so much seafood today just for everyone to try.

He went through the process again and after washing up, Li Jiayi went in to rest.

The main reason is that I didn’t get a good rest these days. This is normal. I arrived in a strange place. Although I still slept in the space, I didn’t feel so at ease.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Li Jiayi came out of the space just in time for dinner.

After dinner, Li Jiayi drove out in his truck.

For two consecutive days, Li Jiayi sent 100,000 kilograms of grain and 30,000 kilograms of pork to the woolen mill.

Then we delivered meat to several other factories. After all the busy work, it was just Sunday.

But now he no longer needs to go to Lijia Village on Sundays to collect supplies.

Because he had already graduated and started working officially, whenever he went to Lijia Village to collect supplies, he would go on the same day and come back the next day.

This was all agreed upon in advance, and I could also stay at my grandma's house for one night.

It just so happened that the supplies that should have been delivered had already been delivered, and Li Jiayi planned to go to Lijia Village. This was his first time going to the countryside to collect things after he officially started working.

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Yes, it is March of 1966.

And there are only two months left until the ten-year period begins.

A lot has happened in these two years.

First of all, Li Jiayi is now eighteen years old.

Maybe because he eats well, Li Jiayi is taller than in his previous life.

A height of 1.8 meters may not be considered a big deal in later generations, but in this era, it is definitely considered tall.

In 1965, my second sister graduated from a technical secondary school and was assigned to work as an officer in the Propaganda Department of the Woolen Mill.

In the same year, my cousin Li Jiafen also graduated from junior high school and was also assigned to the woolen mill, but as a clerk.

Although his family didn't understand, Li Jiayi did not explain.

You know, my cousin Li Jiafen was admitted to a technical secondary school, but Li Jiayi did not let her continue her studies and directly let her go to the factory.

The person who has made the most progress in the past two years is Li Jiayi, who has been promoted from administrative level 20 to administrative level 14.

His position was Deputy Section Chief of Procurement Section 3, but after the position, there was a bracket which said "Deputy Director".

Yes, all the positions he held were honorary, even the deputy section chief of the third purchasing section was an honorary position.

Because Li Jiayi doesn't care about anything at all. It's not that he doesn't want a real job, but that he doesn't want it at all.

But he had already reached that level, and sometimes he had no choice but to accept it, so after much persuasion, he finally accepted the position of deputy section chief of the third purchasing section.

But this position was totally disproportionate to his administrative level, so there was no choice but to give him the title of deputy director later.

What this means is that his rank has reached deputy director, but he is now serving as a deputy section chief.

In the past two years, there have been a lot of changes in my family. My father, Li Aimin, has also been promoted.
He was promoted from administrative level 16 to level 15, also a deputy director, and is now the head of the warehousing department.

This is a section chief of high rank. In today's woolen mills, section chiefs are basically at the deputy division level.

Although in terms of administrative level, Dad Li Aimin is not as high as him, but in terms of position, Dad's level is higher than him!
There is also my mother, who has also been promoted in the past two years, from an 18th-level deputy section chief to a 16th-level section chief, but her position is still deputy section chief of the Propaganda Section.

Li Jiayi's salary has now completely exceeded that of Li Aimin, and this is based on a single salary.

He is a deputy director at the 14th administrative level, and his salary is 138 yuan per month.

Li Aimin is a deputy director at level 15, with a salary of 124 yuan per month.

Ye Xin is a grade 16 regular officer, earning one hundred and ten yuan and fifty cents a month.

The eldest sister Li Jiaqi is now at the 19th administrative level and earns 78 yuan a month.

My second sister, Li Jialin, is now at administrative level 23 and earns 49.5 yuan a month.

Looking at his family’s salary, it’s really scary!

Don't forget, this is only the salary at the woolen mill. Li Jiayi has several other salaries elsewhere!

Although the salaries of the other jobs will not increase, when added together, it’s still a lot!
It was even said to be much more than his salary at the woolen mill.

Apart from their family, my eldest brother is now a level 5 clerk, earning 49.5 yuan a month.

My second brother is a level 6 clerk and his current salary is 43 yuan per month.

My cousin Li Jiafen is now an eighth-level clerk, and her monthly salary is thirty-three yuan.

It can be said that they have completely established their foothold, and there will be no problem even if they are allowed to leave now.

In 1965, after a new round of expansion, except for the Woolen Textile Mill and Hongye Iron and Steel Mill, other factories were basically upgraded by half a level.

For example, the third and fifth steel rolling mills and the machine repair plant are now deputy-department-level enterprise units.

Even the bakery is now a department-level enterprise unit.

The Woolen Mill is now at the point where it cannot be upgraded any further, and the Hongye Iron and Steel Plant has not yet reached the level for upgrading.

But the number of employees has increased a lot. For example, the third and fifth steel rolling mills are now large factories with 10,000 employees.

The Hongye Iron and Steel Plant employed as many as 14,000 to 15,000 people.

The machine repair shop has the least number of employees, but it still reaches about 5,000.

Even the bakery now employs about 5,000 people.

As for why the machine repair shop has so few people but such a high level, it is because the machine repair shop does not need so many people.

Similarly, during this expansion, Li Jiayi brought out dozens of people from Lijia Village, and they were all younger.

Now there are only two months left until the ten-year period, and Li Jiayi also needs to make some preparations.

The first point is to keep a low profile during this period and try not to get involved in the camp.

As for what will happen next, we can only take it one step at a time.

Anyway, he has done everything he should do and is just waiting for that day to come.

Not to mention anything else, during this period of time, Li Jiayi and Lin Ling'er have had much less contact.

"Son, you didn't go out today?" After get off work that evening, Ye Xin came back and saw Li Jiayi sitting alone in the room and asked.

"No, I didn't go out because I had nothing to do during this period of time."

"Okay! Seeing that you looked so worried, I thought something was wrong with you."

"Mom, what can happen to me?"

Li Jiayi's jeep has now been stored in the space and will never be taken out unless it is needed.

There was only one truck parked at the gate, which was used to deliver supplies and was left there when not in use.

Even if Li Jiayi has to go out for something, he will try to ride a bicycle if he can.

In fact, at this time, there was already some attention outside, but no one paid attention to it.

Only Li Jiayi, who was reborn, was more sensitive and had already sensed something.

The next morning, Li Jiayi rode his bicycle out of the city and headed straight for Beishatan.

Half an hour later, he arrived at his yard. When he came, the gate was closed. Li Jiayi got off his bicycle and knocked on the door.

Soon the door opened.

Seeing that it was Li Jiayi, the young man hurriedly said, "Boss, you're here?"

"Ok!"

Li Jia nodded and pushed his bicycle inside. He waited until the young man closed the door before asking, "Is your master here?"

"exist."

"Take me there."

"Okay, please follow me."

Soon Li Jiayi followed the young man to a workshop.

As soon as he entered the workshop, Li Jiayi was attracted by the exquisite badges hanging on the four walls.

And these were just samples. Two years ago, Li Jiayi asked them to stop making fake antiques and focus on making seals.

All of these badges are made of exquisite ceramics. They are not only beautiful but also very artistic.

"Master, you are here."

"Hmm! How many of these were made?"

"How much?" Master Yan scratched his head and said, "A lot, I'd better take you to see it!"

"it is good."

Soon Master Yan took Li Jiayi out of the workshop and came to the warehouse.

Li Jiayi opened the door of the warehouse and took a deep breath when he looked at the wooden boxes filled with things.

"Master Yan, what are these?"

“Yes, everything I have done in the past two years is here.”

"Okay, great."

These badges are good stuff! And they can be used right away.

"Master Yan, these were all made by you and your team. How much do you think each badge would sell for?"

Of course, this is what I say at home. In two months, I won’t be able to say this anymore.

At the very least, these badges cannot be bought and sold.

Even if you are buying something with money, you cannot say "buy", you have to say "please".

Yes, a badge please.

"Boss, do you want to sell these badges?" asked Master Yan.

"I'm just giving an example. These badges are so beautifully made. If they were to be sold, they would definitely not be cheap!"

"Boss, you are right. These badges are not only beautifully crafted, but also well-fired. If I have to give a price, it should be at least two dollars a piece."

"Two dollars a piece?"

"Yes." Master Yan nodded.

"Okay, I see."

Li Jiayi secretly took a deep breath. Two yuan a piece! And this was Master Yan's conservative estimate.

It can also be seen from here how satisfied Master Yan is with these badges.

Don’t think that two yuan is cheap, a pound of pork is only one yuan! Two yuan can buy two pounds of pork.

You know, this badge is not very big!

"Not bad, not bad." Li Jiayi nodded with satisfaction.

There are many styles of badges, and even Li Jiayi doesn’t know how many styles Master Yan and his team have made.

But it doesn’t matter. When he turns around and puts them into the space, Li Jiayi will know how many there are.

If possible, we can make them into sets. There are so many pieces in a set, and the price can probably be sold at a higher price.

You know, Li Jiayi asked Master Yan and others to make it as an antique!

They are not antiques now, but in the future. You can imagine how well these badges are made.

After Li Jiayi looked through the entire warehouse, he said to Master Yan, "Gather everyone!"

"Good owner."

Master Yan agreed and went to gather people.

Soon everyone arrived, and including Master Yan, there were more than a dozen people in total.

Li Jiayi came out from the warehouse, looked at everyone and said, "I came here today because I have something to announce."

"That means starting today, this place will be closed for a while. Wait for my notification on when it will reopen."

To be honest, Li Jiayi doesn’t know when this place will reopen. It is possible that it will never open again.

From now on, this will just be Li Jiayi’s property.

After hearing what Li Jiayi said, Master Yan did not do anything, but his disciples looked at each other.

"But please rest assured, I will not treat you unfairly. Even if you go back and do nothing, you can still live a prosperous life."

After saying that, Li Jiayi took off two schoolbags from his body.

"Master Yan, there are 50,000 yuan in these two schoolbags. Divide them among everyone, and then everyone can go home!"

When they heard that there was 50,000 yuan, Master Yan's disciples' eyes lit up.

This is 50,000 yuan! Even if it is divided equally, each person will have several thousand yuan.

If you work in a factory, it will take you many years to earn this much.

Of course, they would not go to work in a factory. With their skills, they could earn more anywhere than in a factory.

"Good owner."

To be honest, it's a pity for these people. If it weren't for the ten-year period, their future achievements would have been great.

Li Jiayi gave them so much money, plus what he earned before, it could at least guarantee them a worry-free life for the next ten years.

As for what will happen in the future, that is not something Li Jiayi can decide.

He just needs to have a clear conscience. After all, they have helped him.

It also helped him make a lot of money, so tens of thousands of dollars were nothing to Li Jiayi.

Soon Master Yan had distributed all the money. Looking at the money Master Yan had received, Li Jiayi asked in confusion, "Master Yan, what are you doing..."

"Nothing. I've made a lot of money in the past few years. Their expenses are quite high, so I give them more."

That's right, the salary that Li Jiayi paid to Master Yan was not low! In the past few years, the money that Master Yan took from him must be tens of thousands.

Even his disciples probably have at least several thousand! Some even have 10,000 or 20,000.

As long as they don't gamble, they should be able to live well even after ten years.

If you have a better vision and buy some houses when they are cheap, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

"Okay! Take care, Master Yan."

"Yeah! Take care, Boss."

After Master Yan and his apprentice left, Li Jiayi went to the warehouse and collected all the badges inside.

The same goes for those on the walls of the workshop. Let’s put it this way, just take all the finished products away.

As for the semi-finished products or molds, Li Jiayi destroyed them immediately.

Seeing that there was nothing leaking, Li Jiayi closed the door and locked it.

The moment the door was locked, Li Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this place is not close to Beishatan Village, it is not very far away either, so there is no need to worry about it being occupied by someone else.

Even if they occupy it, it doesn’t matter, because he has the house deed and the land deed, and he can take it back later.

He even hoped that someone would occupy the house, so that he could maybe collect some rent in the future.

After locking the gate, Li Jiayi rode his bicycle into the city.

After returning to the city, Li Jiayi did not go home, but rode his bicycle to Ciqikou.

Yes, it’s Lin Ling’er’s home.

It was still the back door of the villa, and Li Jiayi knocked on the door.

Soon the back door opened and a servant opened it.

"Master Li, are you here to see the young lady?"

"Yes."

"I'm sorry, the lady is not here."

"No."

"Yes, the young lady went out with the lady early in the morning and has not returned yet."

"Okay then! I'll come back later."

"Okay, Master Li, I'll tell the young lady when she comes back."

"Ok!"

Two years ago, Li Jiayi told Lin Ling'er to tell her father that it would be best to go abroad.

Lin Ling'er also told her father about this, but it was of no use because he had no intention of going out at all.

This made Li Jiayi speechless, so he planned to say something else. Anyway, he should do his best and leave the rest to fate!
Because he can't decide other people's affairs.

Since Lin Ling'er was not there, Li Jiayi rode his bicycle to the military compound again. He wanted to see how Lao Li was preparing.

Yes, Lao Li is going to leave the capital. Lao Li has been working on this matter since Li Jiayi talked to him about it two years ago.

Now that things have finally been done, Lao Li is going there to lead the troops.

Li Jiayi rode his bicycle directly into the military compound and soon arrived at Old Li's house.

"Why are you here, kid?" Old Li asked hurriedly when he saw Li Jiayi.

"Let me see how your preparations are going?" Li Jiayi said.

"You are just worrying about nothing all day long. Don't worry, everything is ready and we can set off at any time."

Li Jiayi looked into the room and found that it was true. The room was almost empty. Everything must have been taken away first.

"Old Li, is Aunt Zhang going with you?"

"You are asking nonsense. If we leave, can we leave Aunt Zhang alone?"

Li Jiayi scratched his head and looked at Li Jiayi speechlessly. Is this what he meant?

In fact, what Li Jiayi meant was that it was okay for Aunt Zhang to stay, and she could even help watch the house.

Yes, this house was allocated to Lao Li by his superiors, and even if Lao Li leaves, the house will not be taken back.

Just like Lao Kong and Lao Ding, in that case, it would be a good idea to leave Aunt Zhang to watch the door.

And it will save a lot of trouble.

Of course, after Lao Li got there, it would be difficult for anyone to cause trouble for him, so it would be good enough if he didn't cause trouble for others.

Also, this time Lao Li is just going there to lead the troops, and he will have to come back in the future. As for when he will come back, it depends on Lao Li himself.

Li Jiayi is also feeling sad now! After Lao Li left, he basically won't come here anymore.

And I don’t know when I can see you again.

"When exactly do you plan to leave?" Li Jiayi asked when he came into the house.

"a week later."

"Do you need anything?" Li Jiayi asked.

Old Li shook his head and said, "No, there is enough at home."

"Okay then! If you need anything, you can write to me and I will deliver it to you even if it is far away."

"You little bastard, what nonsense are you talking about! How can you deliver him thousands of miles?" Old Li scolded with a smile.

"Don't worry about it. I can deliver it to you anyway."

Li Jiayi is a buyer! With a letter of introduction, he can go anywhere.

"Okay, I know you have the ability, but you don't need it. Old Kong said that there is nothing missing over there."

"Huh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and realized it was true!
The area there is vast and sparsely populated, and the troops can still reclaim the land, so it seems that they really don't lack anything.

"OK then!"

Li Jiayi did not leave at noon, but had a meal at his hometown.

This time, Lao Li was not the only one who left! Lao Zhao was also the same.

Not only that, this time Lao Li was working with Lao Zhao, which also surprised Li Jiayi.

At the same time, he was happy that he could finally change something. At least Lao Li and Lao Zhao had a good ending.

At around 1:00 p.m., Li Jiayi came out of the military compound and went to Ciqikou again.

It was still the back door. Li Jiayi tied up his bicycle and went up to knock on the door.

Soon the back door opened again, and it was the servant who was there this morning.

"Master Li, the young lady is back. Would you like to come in or should I go and call her for you?"

"Just shout for me! I won't go in."

"Okay, wait a minute."

In less than five minutes, Lin Ling'er ran out.

Girls change a lot when they grow up! Lin Ling'er is getting more and more beautiful now, and she is also very tall.

Li Jiayi is 1.8 meters tall, and when he stands next to Lin Ling'er, Lin Ling'er is above his nose.

"Li Jiayi, why are you here?"

"I came to see you! I came here this morning and heard from the servant that you were out."

"Yeah! My mother took me to an elder's house this morning."

"By the way, what are you doing here?" Lin Ling'er asked.

"It's the same thing I told you last time. Have you told your dad?" Li Jiayi asked.

To be honest, he really didn't want anything to happen to Lin Ling'er!
"I did, but my dad doesn't seem to have that intention."

"Uh!"

Li Jiayi was speechless! He didn't understand what Lin Ling'er's father was thinking. He didn't really think that what he did could protect him!

But Li Jiayi knew that no matter how much he said, it would be useless.

"Well, in that case, take care of yourself. If you have any problem, you can always come to me."

"Okay." Lin Ling'er nodded.

The two chatted for a while, and then Li Jiayi left. Since Lin Ling'er's father was unwilling to leave, Li Jiayi had no choice.

I can only pay more attention here in the future.

This is the only thing he can do now.

A week later, Li Jiayi drove his jeep directly to the Imperial Capital Station without even having breakfast.

Because today is the day that Lao Li and Lao Zhao's families are leaving, Li Jiayi plans to come and see them off.

After parking the jeep in front of the train station, Li Jiayi went in carrying an extra-large net bag.

The net bags are filled with oil paper bags. As for what is in the bags, of course, it is some food.
