Chapter 134 The restless Li Jiayi
But he still thought it was too little. These ice cubes looked like a lot, but in fact they were not much.
If we count the square meters, it’s not even 200 square meters. This amount of ice is really not enough.
Go outside and collect everything that needs to be collected, and then slaughter the pigs, cattle, sheep, donkeys, chickens, ducks and geese.
After finishing these things and putting them into the still space, Li Jiayi took a shower and went to sleep.
He didn't sleep so well because of something on his mind. Li Jiayi woke up around three o'clock in the night.
Took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time, then started to get up, but even so, he still went to boxing first.
Then he took a shower, put on clothes and came out of the space, and brought out a large bag of apples.
Yes, there are apples in the space now. This is also thanks to the little black fat man, because it was the little black fat man who gave him an apple, so there is this in the space.
Of course I took out so many apples for the family to eat, but I just put them in his room for the time being.
If he takes it downstairs, it will probably be eaten by the second sister Li Jialin in less than a day.
When we came downstairs, the eldest sister had already gotten up, and it sounded like she was calling the second sister to get up.
"Eldest sister, second sister hasn't gotten up yet?" Li Jiayi shouted outside.
"Get up now, go see if Uncle Liao is up first!" the eldest sister replied in the room.
“Okay, I’ll go right away.”
When Li Jiayi arrived at Liao Kai's house, Liao Kai had just gotten up and was washing up.
"Uncle Liao, are you up already?"
"Yes! You'll be ready soon."
Li Jiayi and the others were all ready before the second sister fell asleep. Hazy and yawning, he came out of the house.
“Let’s go.” The eldest sister pulled the second sister and said.
Then a group of people rushed to the street office, and at this time, there were already people in twos and threes on the road.
You can tell by the direction they are walking that they are also going to the street office to buy winter cabbage.
"Why do people get up so early?" Liao Kai said with emotion.
Because he thought he had gotten up early enough, but he didn't expect that someone else got up earlier than him.
"Uncle Liao, this year is different. Winter comes early, and everyone is waiting to store cabbage for the winter!"
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Liao Kai nodded and said: "That's true."
Li Jiayi thought for a while and said: "I just don't know how much cabbage each person can buy for winter storage this year."< br>
"Plus one, are you saying that this year may be less than last year?" Liao Kai asked.
"Absolutely! Winter came so early this year, there is no time to transport it to the imperial capital. Even if it is transported, it will probably be much less."
"It is really possible, let's go Walk faster." After Liao Kai said this, he quickened his pace.
Li Jiayi and his two sisters hurriedly followed. He didn't care, but others couldn't!
When they arrived at the street office, there were already hundreds of people queuing up. Fortunately, they arrived not too late and could still get to the front of the line.
Yes, after a hundred people are considered to be in the front. After all, there are about 200,000 people in the entire Xinjiekou street.
Of these 100,000 people, there are at least more than 10,000 households! How could it be that ranking after one hundred was not considered to be at the front?
Several people lined up soon. In fact, just one person is enough.
So after Liao Kai and the eldest and second sisters lined up, Li Jiayi said: "Uncle Liao, eldest sister, you line up first, I will go around."
"Okay, you go! But you have to Come back soon," Liao Kai said.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be back before the sale starts.”
No matter where you are in the queue, even if you are first in the queue, you have to wait for the street office to start work.
Of course, this work is not the usual working time, it is much earlier than usual.
But even so, we have to wait until dawn. At this time, it is a bit exaggerated to say it is midnight, but it is not yet four o'clock!
If it were summer, it would be dawn soon, but now it is winter! There are at least two or three hours until dawn.
In other words, even if you are first in line, you still have to wait this long to buy winter cabbage.
It’s not cold, but waiting in line for several hours would be very uncomfortable for Li Jiayi.
Of course, this is about him. As for others, that is another matter. You can tell this just by looking at Liao Kai.
You can tell how cold he is by looking at him stomping his feet back and forth.
This is normal, it’s three or four in the morning! It can be said to be the coldest time of the day.
During the day, it is around minus 20 degrees, and now it is at least minus 24 or 5 degrees.
Walking around outside, Li Jiayi walked to a deserted place after thinking about it.
Then he took out a military coat from the space, the kind with wool inside.
He originally prepared this for his father Li Aimin, but his father didn't need it, so he kept it in the space.
No, it comes in handy now. The eldest and second sisters don’t need it, because they are wearing the same clothes as me and they won’t feel the cold at all.
Soon Li Jiayi returned to where the eldest sister and the others were queuing up.
Li Jia handed a coat to Liao Kai and said, "Uncle Liao, I found a coat for you. You can put it on."
Seeing the coat handed over by Li Jia, Liao Kai Kai said: "Good guy, a military coat!"
He didn't find someone to make this military coat, but got it in exchange for spicy strips. In order to make it warmer, he asked the tailor to add a layer of woolen sheepskin inside.
“Good boy, bring some wool.” After saying this, Liao Kai put on his military coat.
Suddenly I no longer feel the cold. That’s right. If it’s still cold when wearing this kind of military coat, then others will die.
"How about Uncle Liao, it's warm now!"
"It's warm, it's too warm. Don't say wait for a few hours, it's no problem to wait for a day." "That's okay, Then you keep waiting in line and I’ll go around again.”
“Wait.” Liao Kai called him quickly.
"What's the matter, Uncle Liao?"
Liao Kai looked at Li Jiayi and said, "No, just this one?"
"Yes! What's the matter? ?”
"You kid, why are you giving me just this one? Let Jiaqi and Jia Lin wear it." After saying that, he took off his military coat.
"Uncle Liao, no need, Jia Lin and I are not cold." The eldest sister Li Jiaqi said quickly.
"How can you not be cold, kid!" Liao Kai shook his head and said.
"Uncle Liao, just wear it! My eldest sister is right, she is indeed not cold, otherwise I wouldn't be looking for this one!"
"Ah! This..."
"Uncle Liao, touch my hand." Li Jia stretched out his hand.
Although he was confused, Liao Kai still grabbed Li Jiayi's hand and looked at him in surprise.
There was no way, because Li Jiayi's hand was too hot, as if it had just been heated up, which was completely different from his cold hand.
"Don't worry, Uncle Liao, my eldest and second sister wear the same clothes as me, so they are not cold at all. This coat is just for you."
"Okay then. , thank you plus one.”
Li Jiayi shook his head and said: "Uncle Liao, you are so polite."
After chatting for a few more words, Li Jiayi left again. He was impatient. If he was allowed to move back and forth, there would be no problem. .
But if he was asked to stay in one place for several hours, to be honest, he really couldn't stand it.
While walking, Li Jiayi came to the subdistrict office. There was someone on duty at the subdistrict office, and Li Jiayi knew this person.
That’s right, it’s Director Niu.
Seeing Li Jiayi come in, Officer Niu asked in surprise: "Li Jiayi, why are you here?"
"Uncle Niu, I'm here to buy cabbage for winter storage!" Li Jiayi said with a smile. .
“Are you here to buy cabbage for winter storage? Where are your parents?”
“My parents have to go to work during the day, so I didn’t let them come. It happened to be our school holiday and I didn’t have to. I’m going to school, so I came here.”
“You’re a kid, can you get the cabbage back?”
"What's wrong?" After speaking, Li Jiayi pointed outside and said, "There are so many people outside, how can we bring back some cabbage?"
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Officer Niu nodded and said: "That's true."
The busiest person on this day is not the street office staff responsible for selling vegetables, but the laborers. Neck.
Because everyone knows it, when this day comes, everyone in the street will come here.
You must know that this busy work lasts only a day! It can be said that it can handle a lot of work.
Although the distance is not very far and the money is not much, there are many trips!
Now that it’s done, I can earn several yuan this day, but it’s much more than usual.
"Okay, you kid. In this way, there is still a long time before the start. You stay here first, and you will go out when it starts."
"Thank you, Uncle Niu, but I can If you can’t sit down, let me sit down. You might as well let me walk around.”
“Okay, you can do it yourself. Sit down and rest for a while.”
"Yeah!"
In this way, Li Jiayi ran back and forth in the subdistrict office, saying a few words to the staff of the subdistrict office from time to time.
Time flies by.
When the sky was slightly bright, Li Jia felt that the time was almost up and was ready to go out.
Just as he walked out of the office door, he ran into Director Xu.
"Hey, Li Jiayi, why are you here?" Director Xu asked in surprise.
"Director Xu, aren't I here to buy cabbage for winter storage? It's a bit boring to queue up outside, so let my eldest sister and second sister wait in line while I come over to take a look."
This is in Outside! You can't call Aunt Xu directly.
"Aren't your parents here?"
Hearing Li Jiayi say eldest sister and second sister, Director Xu knew that Li Aimin and Ye Xin were not here.
"No, my parents still have to go to work."
"Okay then!"
"Director Xu, I will go out to find my sister. You are busy."
"Wait."
"Uh! What's wrong, Director Xu?"
Director Xu looked around to see if there was no one, and said to Li Jiayi: "Follow me."
Although he didn't know what was going on, Li Jiayi followed Director Xu, and soon Director Xu He took Li Jiayi to the back of the street office.
This is a warehouse of the street office. Director Xu took out the key and opened the door, then pushed the door open and went in.
Seeing Director Xu enter, Li Jiayi could only follow him.
After coming in, Li Jiayi was surprised because there were a lot of Chinese cabbage in the warehouse.
At first glance, it looks much better than the cabbage piled outside. Could it be that the street office kept it for itself? Li Jiayi looked at Director Xu with doubtful eyes.
