Chapter 153 To make money or not, to help or not
There is no way, because Asheng’s legs are much longer than Li Jiayi’s legs.
As soon as Li Jia got on the sled, he drove the sled to Pigeon City.
Li Jiayi rarely came to the pigeon market outside Fuxingmen, mainly because there were relatively few rich people here.
But no matter how few rich people there are, there are still many people buying meat! After all, the price he sold it for was not high.
Soon the sled stopped in Pigeon City. Seven wolfdogs as big as calves startled many people.
They all moved away, as if they would be bitten by seven wolf dogs if they took a step too slow.
This left Li Jiayi speechless. It seems that he will come more often in the future. Look at the pigeon markets outside Deshengmen and Jianguomen.
As soon as Li Jia drives the sled in, people will immediately gather around him, because he goes there many times, and everyone knows that there is no shortage of pork when the sled comes.
“From the south to the north, from government units and factories, don’t miss it when you pass by. Fresh pork only costs one yuan a pound.”
After shouting, Li Jia opened the lid of the large wooden box, revealing the pork inside.
“It’s really pork!” Many people exclaimed.
Since the heavy snow fell, butcher shops have been short of meat for a while, even if they have meat tickets, they have nothing to do.
Some people who cannot buy meat go to the street office. After all, the meat tickets will be invalid if they are not used within the month!
There is nothing the street office can do. After all, this is a natural disaster and an irresistible factor.
But the meat stamps were still taken back and reissued. After all, it was a planned economy. Although the meat factory had no meat, there was no shortage of pigs in the countryside!
So it doesn’t matter if you make up the meat tickets, but what’s the use of making up the meat tickets! They want to buy meat.
It’s okay to not see any fishy smell for a month or two, but if it lasts for a long time, it’s easy to get edema.
So Li Jiayi’s shout immediately attracted everyone.
“If you want to buy pork, just line up. We’ll come one by one. Don’t worry, everyone can buy it.”
"Can you really buy them all?" someone asked.
"Of course, but in order to save time, everyone has to prepare the money in advance for how much meat they want to buy, so that we can go faster and everyone can go back earlier."
"Yes, yes, yes. , I’ll buy five pounds, I’ll get the money right first Get it ready."
"Oh! I didn't even expect that there would be meat, so I didn't bring that much money. I'll buy two pounds!"
"I didn't take that much either! If you have more money, you can only buy two pounds at most.”
"Oh, who knew there would be pork for sale today! If I had known what to say, I would have brought more money."
"Yes! Buy more, even if you go back and give some to the neighbors in the yard, they will I will remember your kindness, right?”
“That’s right. ! And you may still make some money.”
“It doesn’t matter how much you pay for it, just sell it to them. After all, they are old neighbors for many years.”
These are all. Li Jia heard the words clearly, but he didn't say anything.
It doesn't matter to him, he sells no matter how much they buy.
It’s just that he doesn’t dare to compliment these people’s ideas, and how much money they have to buy and give to the people in the courtyard.
If it were him, he would never do anything, because it would be thankless, or he would not sell to anyone.
If you sell it, you have to pay a high price. For example, if you buy it for one yuan, sell it for one and a half yuan. Do you want it?
Because even if you buy it back for one dollar per catty and sell it to your neighbors for one dollar per catty, they will think that you made money from it.
No matter what you say, they won’t believe that you didn’t make money.
Because when many people think about it, why would you sell it to them if you don’t make money, just like why would you support the thing that you didn’t hit?
In this case, they will think that you are making money anyway, so why don’t you make money, and make more.
It is best to sell it for one yuan and fifty cents per catty. In this case, if you buy fifteen catties and sell ten catties, it is equivalent to eating meat yourself without spending money.
As time passes, more and more pork is sold.
Of course, there are fewer and fewer people in the Pigeon Market, because many people leave here after buying the meat.
Li Jiayi glanced at the time secretly. It was already four-thirty. According to normal circumstances, he would have been home by this time.
But who made him just start saying that everyone can buy it.
It seems that he can't leave without sending these last people away.
You must do what you say, this is Li Jiayi’s life motto.
In fact, he has secretly taken out the meat several times, otherwise it would be really not enough!
Fortunately, everyone had prepared the money in advance. When we asked how much we wanted, we had already handed over the money.
He just needs to take the money and hand over the meat, which can be said to be much faster.
As for sending the last person away at a few minutes past five, Li Jiayi shook his head with a wry smile.
It seems that you can’t blindly agree to others in the future, otherwise it will be the same as today.
By this time, Mom and Dad should have come out of the factory.
As for the family, I guess our second sister is worried about him at this time!
Thinking of this, Li Jia quickly drove the sled back.
He couldn't change the sled because there were people on the road.
Fortunately, there was a dead end not far away.
He hurriedly drove the sled in and came out again in less than two minutes. The big sleigh was replaced by a small sled.
The small sleigh was not only much more convenient, but also much faster. At about 5:20, Li Jiayi returned to the courtyard.
Sure enough, just as he thought, the eldest sister and the second sister were anxiously walking around the courtyard.
"Eldest sister and second sister, what are you doing?"
"Brother, why did you come back?" The eldest sister quickly came up and took his arm and asked. "Yes, brother, why are you back so late today?" The second sister also came over and took the other arm and asked.
"I was delayed for a while because of something to do today, so I came back a little late. You don't think something happened to me, do you?"
"Uh! No, no." The eldest sister hurriedly said He shook his head and said.
"Yes, the eldest sister and I are just worried that something will happen to you." The second sister said.
Li Jiayi stretched out his hand and flicked the second sister's forehead and said, "With Asheng and the other three here, what do you think will happen to me?"
"Uh!" The second sister was stunned for a moment, and said suddenly: "That's right! My brother has Asheng and the others following him. What can happen? Sister, you are just worrying about it."
"Okay, hurry up and get the sled." After unloading, go back to the house and wash your hands. We can start eating when our parents come back later."
Li Jia unloaded the sled and asked Asheng and the others to go to the east wing. Throw them some meat along the way.
As soon as he left, Asheng closed the door of the east wing behind him.
Back in the living room, Li Jiayi went in to wash his hands first, and then made a large enamel jar of tea.
Not only did he drink this, but his family members also drank it. You must know that this was made from boiled spiritual spring water.
Unfortunately, the ginseng in the space is still relatively small and not old enough. Otherwise, it would be good to crush one and use it to make tea.
The second sister came over at this time and stretched out her hand to Li Jiayi.
“What for?” Li Jiayi asked doubtfully.
"I've been worried about you for a long time, shouldn't you express it?"
"Uh!" Li Jia nodded and said, "You should indeed express it, what do you want?"
"Apple "
"Apples? If I remember correctly, there should be three more apples in my house. Did you finish them in one day?"
"Yes, I will give one to my eldest sister. ”
Li Jiayi said speechlessly: "Then you ate two yourself! This is already a lot."
"Hey! I said brother, if you don't want to give, just say so."
< br>"No, I won't give it, but I don't have apples here for the time being. So, I'll bring them to you tomorrow. Come back."
The second sister was a little disappointed, but she nodded and said, "Okay."
Li Jiayi smiled and said, "Although I don't have apples now, I still have them in my schoolbag. There is a peach, do you want it?”
"Yes, I don't want apples anymore, give me the peach!"
"Okay." Li Jia reached into his schoolbag and took out a particularly large peach.
"Wow, it's really a peach, brother, where did you get these?"
Li Jiayi flicked her forehead again and said: "You can just eat what you have, don't ask So much, it’s still the old rule, you can’t tell others.”
“Don’t worry, brother, I won’t tell anyone.”
Li Jiayi believed this, because she really hadn't told anyone about her family affairs for such a long time.
After saying that, she was about to take a bite. Li Jiayi quickly reached out to stop her and said, "It's time to eat. After eating such a big peach, do you still want to eat?"
"Okay! I'll eat after I finish my meal."
"By the way, brother, what's in those bags?" Second sister Li Jialin asked, pointing to the bags he put next to him.
"Clothes."
"Clothes? Whose clothes?" Li Jialin asked with shining eyes.
"It's not your clothes, those are clothes for your parents."
"Oh! Okay!"
These bags contain more than just clothes , and three pairs of shoes, the kind of military leather shoes worn by male and female cadres.
It’s a pity that it can’t be worn now. It can be worn in spring and autumn. Of course, it can also be worn in summer.
This era is not that of later generations. Even in summer, you have to dress appropriately.
You can only wear something cooler at home, except of course for children like Li Jiayi.
No one said anything about him wearing big pants, a small vest, or even being shirtless. After all, he was just a little kid.
But adults can't do it. Even if it's just in the courtyard, you can't be shirtless. You can wear a vest at most.
If you leave the compound, at least your sleeves will be half-cut, and you won’t be able to wear a vest.
There is no way, people in this era are very conservative, even couples do not walk holding hands.
At about 5:40, my parents came back from outside.
Just as they entered the house, the eldest sister also entered the main room with food.
"Son, you didn't go out for a run today, did you?" Li Aimin asked.
"I went out for a run, but I didn't run around blindly. I even changed two sets of clothes for you and mom."
Hearing Li Jiayi's words, not only Li Aimin, but also Ye Xin was stunned for a moment and asked: "Clothes! What clothes?"
Li Jiayi quickly went over to open the two bags containing clothes and said: "Mom, look, it's a real military cadre uniform, and there are also leather shoes."
"Oh, this is really a military uniform." Li Aimin quickly ran over and touched it.
