Chapter 160 What a great opportunity!

Chapter 160 What a great opportunity!

You become better with age! Although Li Jian just said a casual word, the two people had already gotten the information.

Just when Lao Li was about to go back to the house, several more people came in from outside, and one of them was someone he couldn't refuse.

"Old Li."

"Old Zhao, why are you here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Li immediately understood what was going on, and he was probably attracted by the scent.

"Old Li! I don't want to come either, but you also know that I..." Lao Zhao couldn't continue.

But Lao Li understands! His family only has two children, but Lao Zhao's family has four, and life is even more difficult.

"I understand. Let Xiaotian decorate it for you later and take it back to the children."

"No, I'm not here to ask for anything from you." Lao Zhao hurriedly He shook his head and said.

"Yes, Lao Li, the reason why we came here is to ask you what connections you have."

"You..."

Lao Li originally wanted to curse, but thought of Lao Wu He Lao Niu already knows, so there is no need to hide it.

If Li Jiayi can really get meat, it will be a good thing for their old comrades.

But before that, we still have to ask Li Jiayi. He doesn’t want anything to happen to his children because of this.

"Let's do this. Come over tonight and I'll give you an answer." Lao Li thought for a while and said.

"Okay, let's go back first."

"Okay!" Lao Li nodded, and then said: "Old Zhao, wait."

"What's the matter? Lao Li? "

Lao Li didn't say anything, but took Lao Zhao and walked into the house.

The others didn't say anything and left directly, because they knew very well that the relationship between Lao Li and Lao Zhao was incomparable to them.

Back in the house, Lao Li shouted to the kitchen: "Xiaotian, has the crispy pork been fried?"

"Not yet, the oil is being refined."

Then Lao Li turned his head and said: "Old Zhao, wait a moment. When the crispy meat is fried, you can take some back to cook for the children."

"Old Li, what are you doing? I Can’t have it.”

"I said, Lao Zhao, do you think I am for you! I am for the children."

Hearing what Lao Li said, Lao Zhao shook his head with a wry smile.

But he also knew that if it was no longer possible, even if he left directly, Lao Li would send him home.

"Thank you, Lao Li."

"You are so fucking polite to me, who among us is talking to the other!"

"I'm thanking you on behalf of my child. I want me to say thank you to you, so don't even think about it."

"Hahaha, is this right! I'm not used to your old Zhao thanking our old Li! ”

At around one o’clock in the afternoon, Li Jiayi came to the military compound again.

What surprised him was that there seemed to be a lot of people in the courtyard, and they were all old men. These people smiled and nodded to him.

Actually, it’s not that there are too many people in the compound, it’s just that these people usually stay at home and don’t go out.

Now that he was outside, he felt this way.

Soon Li Jiayi arrived at Lao Li's house. Just as he was about to call Li Jian and Li Kang to go shopping, Lao Li called him.

"What's the matter, Lao Li?"

"Xiao Li! It's like this. After you left in the morning, your Aunt Tian started to produce oil. Maybe it was because it was too fragrant. The people here know about it.”

“It’s okay if you know it! We don’t want to steal or rob.” Li Jiayi spread his hands indifferently.

"Yes, I know this, but they came to my door and thought I had a way to get meat, so..."

"So you want to ask me if you can get some meat?"

"That's right!" Lao Li nodded.

Li Jiayi touched his chin and thought for a while and said: "It's possible to get it, but I don't know how much they want."

"It's as much as you can get. If you can't get it, no one can get it." The solution is not.”

Hearing what Lao Li said, Li Jiayi knew that he had misunderstood, and said quickly: "Lao Li, I didn't mean that. I meant that you have to have a quantity, and then I can get it! Otherwise, I will get too much. What if you don’t finish it?”

“Ugh!” Lao Li’s mouth was wide open, at least he could put an egg in it.

He did not expect that this was what Li Jiayi said.

"Okay, Lao Li, please calculate how much it costs first. Also, I don't want money."

"No money?" Lao Li asked doubtfully.

"Yes, I want wine or cigarettes. No wine or cigarettes. It's okay if I have a ticket. I can buy it myself."

"Then how do you change it?" Lao Li asked.

"Exchange based on value. Pork costs 65 cents per catty, suet costs one yuan per catty. Tobacco and alcohol have prices, but tickets are not valuable."

Use cigarettes It was too troublesome to calculate the value of the vote in exchange for wine, so Li Jiayi calculated it based on the price of the meat ticket.

In this case, even if they bring out cigarettes and alcohol, the value of the ticket will not be counted, it will be calculated as the price of the alcohol.

For example, if Moutai is bought with tickets, a bottle is two yuan and ninety-seven cents, so it will be calculated as two yuan and ninety-seven cents.

"Xiao Li! Will you suffer a loss like this?"

There is no shortage of tobacco and alcohol. You can buy them as long as you have a ticket. Pork is different, you even have a ticket. You may not be able to buy it.

Now that it’s the Chinese New Year, it can be said that pork is in even greater demand, not to mention pork suet, which is always in demand.

Although the butcher's price for lard suet is one yuan per pound, no matter when you go to buy it, it is not available.

Therefore, this price is only set according to regulations and is not the true value of lard oil. Don't talk about it costing one yuan a pound, even if you buy it with a meat ticket, you will be robbed if the butcher shop sells it for one yuan and a half.

"No, they need pork and suet, and I need tobacco and alcohol, no loss at all."

"Okay! Then I'll let people go now Let’s go and do the statistics. I’ll give them to you soon.”

“Yes! If you want more meat and suet, I might bring it over on a big sled. I wonder if I can come in? ”

"No problem. Don't tell me if you brought it here on a sled, you can get in even if you bring it here on a truck."

"That's good." Li Jiayi said excitedly.

In this case, when he comes to buy things in the future, he can just drive the big sled over and transport a lot at once.

As long as the service agency has it, he can even use up the tickets at once.

Of course, the premise is that it can be loaded. After all, tobacco and alcohol are much lighter than pork.

Wine itself is not lighter than pork, but it takes up space! If you put pork in the area of ​​​​a box of wine, it must be heavier than pork.

As for cigarettes, let alone them.

Since the big sled can come in, Li Jiayi will not go to the service agency to buy things. How can moving mice bit by bit compare with transporting them out on a sled.

Lao Li came out of his home and called Lao Wu and Lao Niu next door, and also called Lao Zhao.

After Li Jiayi’s request was stated again, several people began to make statistics separately.

The military compound looks very big, but in fact there are not many people living there. There are six houses in a row, and there are a dozen rows in total, which is only about a hundred houses.

Because Li Jiayi wants tobacco and alcohol, many people ask for meat according to the value of tobacco and alcohol at home.

Some families who smoke and drink less often ask family members to go to the service agency with money and tickets to buy.

At this time, you can exchange for as much as you can. Who would dislike pork and pork suet? It is even said that the more the better.

In less than an hour, Lao Li came back with his people.

"Come on, Xiao Li, let me introduce to you. This is Lao Zhao. From now on, you can just call him Lao Zhao." Knowing that Li Jiayi was a bit unruly, Lao Li said deliberately.

“Hello!”

“Hello, hello!”

“This is Lao Wu.”

“Hello!”

"Hello, hello!"

"This is Lao Niu."

"Hello!"

"Hello, hello!"

After shaking hands with each other, Lao Li took out the table counting pork and lard.

"Xiao Li, this is what everyone wants. Can you see if you can get it?"

Li Jiayi took it over and saw that it was really a lot. The least one family asked for twenty kilograms of pork and Twenty pounds of pork suet.

The one with the most was Lao Zhao, who actually ordered fifty kilograms of pork and sixty kilograms of suet.

Actually, it's normal. Lao Zhao doesn't smoke and drinks relatively little. If their children hadn't taken away some of the tobacco and alcohol tickets, he would have wanted more.

Maybe Lao Zhao still doesn’t know that the tobacco and alcohol tickets his son took away are actually in Li Jiayi’s hands.

In addition, Lao Li also ordered thirty pounds of pork and twenty pounds of pork suet.

It's not that he doesn't want more, it's mainly because there's not enough tobacco and alcohol at home, and there's already a lot of pork and lard fat at home, and even a few kilograms of beef.

Of course, the small number of people in his family is also a reason. In addition, there are only five nannies, which is incomparable with others who often have a dozen or so.

Even Lao Zhao's family has seven people, two of them, four children and a nanny.

After reading it, Li Jiayi said: "I can get these, but I can't finish them in one trip, I have to make two trips."

"It doesn't matter how many times it takes, as long as we can get it."

"Well! Let's do it. I'll make two trips tomorrow morning to deliver it, and then start changing it according to this schedule."

"Okay, I think the location is at Lao Li's place. It can't be at the gate, otherwise it will be too conspicuous." Lao Zhao said.

“I think it works.”

“Okay, that’s it.”

Even so, when Li Jia left, he still went to the service club to buy some cigarettes and alcohol before leaving the military compound.

Originally, he planned to make more shopping trips in the afternoon, so he came so early. He didn’t expect such a thing to happen.

In this case, there was no need to run any further, so he went home directly.

Of course you can’t go home empty-handed. No, stir-fried chestnuts, persimmons, apples, white rabbit toffee and golden rooster biscuits are all arranged.

As for peanuts and melon seeds, there are still many at home, so there is no need to get any more.

When I got home, my parents, Uncle Liao, and my two sisters were all in the house, drinking tea, eating melon seeds, and listening to the radio.

As soon as Li Jia entered the house, Ye Xin stood up and asked: "My son is back? What did you bring here?"

"Nothing, just some food."< br>
Hearing that it was food, the second sister quickly ran over, took the things in his hand, put them directly on the Eight Immortals table and opened them.

“Wow! Roasted chestnuts with sugar, and here are persimmons.”

As for apples and peaches, she was not so surprised, because she had been eating them a lot during this period.

"You kid, did you run to the compound again?" Li Aimin asked.

Because before when he brought things back, he told his family that he had exchanged them from the compound.

PS: Please recommend monthly tickets! Thanks!
