Chapter 146 The military compound begins to deceive


Chapter 146 The military compound, the cheating started

After eating, my mother went to the kitchen to clean up, and at this time Liao Kai came over.

"Uncle Liao, are you here so early today? You haven't started lighting the fire yet?"

"It's not plus one. It's not urgent to take a sauna. That's it. I'll go to Liulichang on Sunday. I found a gadget, I wonder if you like it?”

On Sunday, he went to his grandma’s house. Liao Kai probably knew that he was back, so he brought the gadget over.

"Oh! What gadget?"

"Look."

Liao Kai handed him a small bottle, a very small one. Li Jia could tell at a glance, This is a snuff bottle.

"Uncle Liao, is this a snuff bottle?"

"That's right, a snuff bottle with enamel and European-style ladies painted on gold from the Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty."

"Hiss!" Li Jiayi took a breath.

This thing will be valuable in future generations! But in this day and age, it's not particularly valuable.

To be valuable, it is probably because it is made of gold.

But gold is also very cheap now, and it is not allowed to be traded.

Whoever has gold in hand now can go directly to the bank to exchange it for two yuan and fifty cents per gram.

It's just that only a small number of people go to banks to exchange money, mainly because they don't want others to know that they have money.

In addition to going to the bank to exchange, you can also go to the black market to trade with others, but the price fluctuates greatly.

The price is between two and four yuan. It mainly depends on whether anyone will buy it.

If you meet such a person, the price will definitely be higher, but it will never exceed four yuan per gram.

If no one purchases it, but someone just wants to buy it for collection or something, then the price will be very cheap, cheaper than exchanging it at a bank.

But even so, many people sell it cheaply and don't go to the bank to exchange it.

This snuff bottle is not very heavy, but it still weighs thirty or forty grams. It is no longer a gadget.

Even based on the price of gold, it costs almost a hundred yuan.

"Uncle Liao, how much is this? I'll give you the money."

"Just play with it, it's just a gadget, I can still ask for your money." Liao Kai shook his head and said .

"Uncle Liao, this thing is small, but it is definitely not a gadget. You must have spent a lot of money when buying it!"

"Hey, isn't money just for spending? Let me tell you secretly, Liao Uncle is rich."

Looking at Liao Kai's serious look, Li Jiayi knew that he was not lying. What Li Jiayi didn't understand was where Liao Kai got the money.

"Okay, Uncle Liao, I will accept it. If you need anything in the future, tell me and I will get it for you."

"Hahaha, okay, you can have whatever you want. Tell me and I’ll get it for you too.”

I don’t know if they each have what they need. Li Jiayi wants all kinds of antiques, while Liao Kai needs all kinds of meat and vegetables.

Li Jia put away the snuff bottle and went out to light the stove so that he could have a sauna in a while.

After using the sauna, Li Jiayi went back to the house to sleep.

While staying at grandma's house these days, he has no way to enter the space. Although it will not have any impact, he has become accustomed to entering the space to collect things.

No words for a night.

After dinner the next morning, Li Jiayi came out of the house.

He has no intention of selling pork today because he already has a lot of money in his hand.

It is still good to store more wine at this time, of course, this is only now.

No way, the conditions for collecting other things are not very mature yet. For now, only tobacco and alcohol are more suitable.

Of course, there are also national food stamps.

The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step. If the steps are too big, it is easy to break the egg.

At this time, not to mention antiques, even if you want to collect large and small yellow croakers, it is not the time.

At least we have to wait until the difficult period of three years begins before it is time to collect large and small yellow croakers.

As for antiques, we have to push them back. Of course, there will be opportunities to collect some antiques during the three-year difficult period, but not too many.

After all, large and small yellow croakers will become worthless, let alone antiques. Those who have antiques in their hands are not stupid.

They won't sell antiques when the price is the cheapest, but they can trade small and large yellow croakers for food.

Li Jiayi does not plan to go to the previous two compounds. In this case, he will find a new place.

Fortunately, this is the imperial capital, and the most indispensable thing is this kind of compound.

Soon Li Jiayi found a place, but this place was different from the previous compound.

In this compound, there are not only armed soldiers standing guard at the door, but also a five-pointed star with August 1 on it.

As soon as Li Jia drove the sled into an alley, he put it away and stayed on the opposite side of the road.

But even so, the soldiers on guard looked at him several times.

Fortunately, he is just a child, and he doesn’t look like an ordinary family in his dress.

Of course, this is what the soldiers on guard thought, and they thought he was waiting for someone here.

If he was an adult, it would probably not be as simple as just looking at him a few times. He would probably be locked up first.

Yes, just locked up. Now that schools in the imperial capital are on holiday, children from ordinary families will definitely not come out because it is too cold.

But this kind of compound is different. It has sufficient supplies, including various military coats or woolen coats.

So Li Jia stayed for less than twenty minutes when he saw a teenager wearing a woolen coat and two teenagers wearing military coats coming out.

These three teenagers looked to be in their teens. The woolen coats and military coats they were wearing looked like they were not theirs.

Because the clothes were too big, the bottom almost touched the ground. I guess she was wearing the clothes of the adults in the family.

Li Jia rolled his eyes and followed from behind, wanting to see where they were going.

In addition, he also released Ah Sheng by the way. He didn't want to cause any misunderstandings. Letting Ah Sheng out would also have a deterrent effect.

But Li Jiayi soon knew what they were going to do, because the three teenagers came to Beihai.

The people who come here to play at this time basically come here to skate, otherwise who would come here to see the scenery in the snow and ice!

"Hey, kid, you're following us, what do you want to do?"

At this moment, the boy in the woolen coat turned around and asked.

I didn’t expect these three teenagers to be quite vigilant. The children who came out of the military compound were different from other compounds.

Their parents or grandparents all walked out of a hail of bullets. As their descendants, how could they not be vigilant.

“Nothing else, I just want to be friends with you.” Li Jiayi said with a smile.

He also put his hand on Asheng's head and touched it.

When the three teenagers saw this, they all took a step back. There was nothing they could do, Asheng was really scary.

Even adults reacted this way when they saw it, let alone three teenagers.

"Be friends with us? Which military compound are you from?" asked the boy in a woolen coat.

Li Jiayi shook his head and said: "I am not from the military compound."

He, Li Jiayi, was not a child from a military compound, but seeing that he was wearing a leather coat, the boy in wool suddenly realized and said, "Oh! I see, you are from a local compound."

Of course Li Jiayi I know what local compound the boy in the woolen coat is talking about. They are the two compounds where he exchanged tickets before.

Shaked his head again and said: "I am not a local compound. It is true that I live in a compound, but it is just a courtyard."

"Siheyuan?"

Three people They looked at each other. They were wearing leather clothes and living in a large courtyard, so they must be rich.

"Yes, Siheyuan."

"Why do you want to make friends with us?" asked the boy in a woolen coat.

“Because I want to make a deal with you.” Li Jiayi shrugged and said.

"A deal? What kind of deal?"

"I'll give you something in exchange." After speaking, Li Jiayi took out a small bag of spicy strips and handed it over and said, "Try this."

"What is this?" The three teenagers did not reach out to pick it up.

Looking very cautious, this really impressed Li Jiayi and the others. They were much better than the children in those local compounds.

You must know that he was like this at that time. Those people took it directly and told them to try it, and they ate it directly.

“You can open it first and take a look, maybe you’ll know what it is.” Li Jiayi said with a harmless smile.

Although it was a pity, the boy in the woolen coat took it and opened it carefully.

When I saw the red spicy strips inside, I immediately frowned and asked, "Is this really edible?"

"Yes, don't worry! It's definitely not poisonous." After that, I walked up to him and started from I pinched a few sticks out of them and put them in my mouth to eat.

Seeing him swallow the food, the boy in the woolen coat picked up one and put it into his mouth to taste it.

"Yeah!"

"How is it? Does it taste good?" Li Jiayi asked with a smile.

"It tastes really good. Can you tell me what this is?" asked the boy in the woolen coat.

“Of course, this thing is called spicy strips. They are not sold in the imperial capital. These are brought from other places.”

“Lasty strips, no wonder they are so spicy. They are indeed worthy of the name. I don’t know what you want. What to change?"< br>
"Let me! We are short of some tickets, mainly tobacco and alcoholic beverages, but also sugar stamps, non-staple food coupons and national food stamps."

Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the three teenagers I breathed a sigh of relief, it turns out I just wanted to exchange some tickets.

However, the boy in the woolen coat still asked: "How can you be sure that we will exchange with you?"

Li Jiayi shrugged and said: "I have exchanged with several big boys before, and they are very You are willing to change with me, I think you will be no exception."

"Can I ask how you changed the spicy strips?"

"Of course, it is really simple. Just..." Li added the amount of the exchange and said it again.

“Of course, if you can call someone else to come over and replace it, I can give you one-tenth of the benefit.”

"What do you mean?" the boy in the woolen coat asked.

"I'm glad to see you bring here. For every ten packs of spicy strips, I will give you the benefits of one pack of spicy strips."

"Is there such a good thing?"

“Of course, you can change it or not, but as long as it’s the person you call over, no matter how much it is, if it’s enough for ten packs, I’ll give you one pack.”

PS: Please. Monthly ticket! Thanks!
