Chapter 184 I'm afraid you'll fall into the ditch
"Yeah!"
"Remember, I have a better relationship with you, and I don't want anyone with evil intentions. I want you to be better than I know."
"Don't worry, Li Jiayi, you can rest assured that the person I'm looking for will be fine."
"That's good."
Originally, Li Jiayi wanted to bring Li Jian and Li Kang, plus the four sons of Lao Zhao's family, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.
After all, their identities are limited, so it’s better not to let them participate.
Even if you want to participate, it’s not now.
After all, for the time being, he is just doing some small work, just like he told the little black fat man, to earn some pocket money.
After another conversation with the fat little black man Guo Detie, Li Jiayi drove a tricycle to a nearby supply and marketing cooperative.
Parking the tricycle at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Jiayi walked in.
“Hello, I’m going to buy some oil paper.”
“How much do you want?”
There are no plastic bags now. Generally, shopping is wrapped in oil paper. Of course There are some that do not need to be wrapped, they are all tied with ropes.
Today’s oil paper is equivalent to the plastic bags of later generations, but the price is much higher than that of plastic bags.
A piece of oil paper costs one penny. According to current prices, it can be said that the price is really not cheap.
But you can't live without this thing. Whether it's a meat ticket or a snack shop, it can be said that you need to use it.
Fortunately, this oil paper can be cut and used. A large sheet can be cut into four or eight smaller pieces of oil paper.
Look at how many things you need to pack. If you only pack one or two items, it won’t be a problem even if you cut it into a dozen pieces.
Of course, it also depends on what you are wrapping. If you are wrapping spicy strips, you probably won’t be able to cut so many.
"Give me one thousand first!" Li Jia handed over the ten dollars as soon as he finished speaking.
“Okay, I’ll get it for you right now.”
One thousand is a lot! Of course, not many, after all, the oil paper of this era was not thick.
But even so, it took Li Jiayi two trips to get them all on the tricycle.
When he was almost home, Li Jiayi put the oil paper into the space before entering Courtyard No. 7.
After returning home, Li Jia parked his tricycle in the yard, said hello to his eldest sister, and went directly upstairs.
Enter the room, lock the door from the inside, and Li Jiayi enters the space.
Then Li Jiayi took some peanuts and melon seeds, and first took out a piece of oil paper to do the experiment.
First cut a piece of oil paper into eight pieces, take the peanuts and try them. This bag can hold three or four taels.
It seemed a bit too much, so I tried filling it with melon seeds, and I could hold two taels more.
This didn't work, so he took another one and cut it into twelve pieces this time.
I tried filling it with peanuts again, and found that it was a lot less. It could probably hold more than two taels of peanuts.
I tried pretending to be melon seeds again, but it was a problem to pretend to be just one or two.
In this case, Li Jiayi had a plan in mind. With one thought, all the oil paper was cut.
One sheet is cut into twelve, and then the fried five-spice peanuts and five-spice melon seeds are wrapped into small packages.
The speed is much faster than the assembly line. It doesn’t take long for all the oil paper to be used up.
A total of nearly 12,000 packages of spiced peanuts and spiced melon seeds were packaged.
Half and half are the same, peanuts are two to one pack, and melon seeds are one to two packs.
There is no shortage of peanuts and melon seeds in Li Jiayi’s space, he just needs some time to fry them.
Now the only thing left is pricing. To be honest, whether it is peanuts or melon seeds, the prices are not cheap.
After much deliberation, Li Jia set the price of a handful of peanuts at two cents a pack.
The price of melon seeds is fixed at 10 cents, but there is actually no difference, because peanuts are 2 taels and melon seeds are 1 tael.
Li Jiayi came out of the space, put his schoolbag into the space, and tried it with his own schoolbag.
It can hold about 60 bags of peanuts. I tried melon seeds again and it can hold more than 60 bags. If you press it tighter, it can hold 70 bags.
Took out the melon seeds from the schoolbag and walked out of the space with the schoolbag.
"Little brother."
I just came out of the space when I heard the eldest sister shouting downstairs.
"What's wrong, sister?"
"I'm going to the bookstore. Do you have any books you want to buy?" the eldest sister asked.
“No need, sister, I don’t have any books to buy.”
"Okay, I understand."
"Wait a minute, sister." Li Jiayi shouted as he went downstairs.
“What’s the matter?”
“Let me take you to the bookstore! I just have to go out for a while.”
“No, I’ll just ride my bike there. Just go and do your thing!" the eldest sister said, shaking her head.
"Okay then!"
After the eldest sister left on her bicycle, Li Jiayi also prepared to drive out on a tricycle.
"Brother."
"What are you doing?"
"Why are you going? Take me with you!" Li Jialin ran over and said.
"You should study at home! I have something important to do when I go out, so I can't take you with me."
"Humph, there is something important! You just don't want to take me with you."
See Seeing her like this, Li Jiayi was ready to tease her and said: "If you know, ask again."
"Uh! You..."
Unfortunately, Li Jiayi had already started the tricycle. Open it and run outside.
Li Jialin was so angry that she stamped her feet, but there was nothing she could do because she couldn't catch up!
After leaving home, Li Jiayi went to the supply and marketing cooperative this time. Of course, it was not the one he went to before. After arriving here, he looked at the schoolbag hanging on the wall and asked the salesperson: "Hello, how do you sell this schoolbag?"
Li Jiayi's schoolbag was bought by his mother. So he didn't know the price, but one thing he knew was that buying a schoolbag didn't require any tickets.
This can be regarded as a kind of support from the state to students!
"Three yuan for a school bag."
"How much?"
"Three yuan."
"His!"
This price made Li Jia I am very speechless! A school bag costs three yuan.
You must know that three yuan is a person's living expenses for more than half a month!
No wonder so many people use rags or canvas to make school bags for their children.
Not many people can afford three yuan for a schoolbag.
You must know that when he was in elementary school, the cost of books for a semester was only two yuan and fifty cents.
But even so, there are still many people who can't even pay their tuition fees.
But you still have to buy it if it’s expensive! Because this thing is more convenient and can hold a lot of things.
"Give me twenty."
"How much...how much?" The salesperson thought she heard wrongly.
That’s right, who buys schoolbags and buys twenty of them at once! Even if you have a lot of children at home, buying two or three is already a lot.
“Twenty.” Li Jiayi said again.
"Are you sure?"
This time Li Jiayi didn't talk nonsense. He took out 70 yuan and put it on the counter and said, "Here are a thousand pieces of oil paper."
"Oh. ! Okay, I’ll get it for you right away.”
The money is on the counter, so it’s definitely not wrong.
Soon the salesperson brought over twenty schoolbags and a thousand pieces of oil paper.
He loaded these things onto the tricycle in three trips. As soon as Li Jia got up, he kicked the tricycle and drove away.
When he got home, his parents had already gotten off work, including Liao Kai, who was also standing in the yard.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Jia stopped the tricycle, Li Aimin and Liao Kai surrounded him.
Even Ye Xin came over and sat on it to feel it.
"Jiayi, why do you want that tricycle? It turns out you are planning to get this!"
Although Liao Kai had already seen it, he was at work at the time and he just had a look.
"Son, quickly, take me out for a spin." Li Aimin shouted.
"Dad, what time is it? How about I take you out another day?"
"Oh my son, it's still early before dark!"
Li Jia Very helpless! I can only kick the tricycle.
It was lively now. Not only did my father and mother sit on it, but so did Liao Kai, as well as the eldest and second sisters.
Li Jiayi turned around in the yard, drove out and walked outside.
This caused many people in the courtyard who had just got off work to come out to watch. Unfortunately, the tricycle was too fast.
Before they could react, they were already out of the gate.
"Ouch! This thing is so comfortable! The breeze is blowing." Liao Kai shouted in surprise.
"Hahaha, yes! It would be great if I could ride this to and from get off work every day." Li Aimin said.
When Li Jia heard what he said, he curled his lips and said, "You'd better forget it! I'm afraid you'll fall into the ditch."
A tricycle is different from a bicycle. People may not be able to ride a tricycle.
What’s more, this one has an engine, so it’s even harder to ride. Li Jiayi rode it so smoothly because he had an electric tricycle in his previous life.
If you let a novice open it, you may not be able to open it.
Besides, his tricycle is still useful! How is it possible for dad to drive to work every day?
Besides, if you let him drive, he probably won’t even be able to fill up the gas.
Don’t forget, he himself exchanged meat for oil from others.
You can’t buy it with money.
After walking around for almost twenty minutes, covering the entire Xinjiekou street, Li Jiayi drove home.
After arriving home, before getting off the tricycle, Li Aimin asked: "Son, how did you get this tricycle?"
"I bought a broken tricycle from your factory, and then another It's a tricycle that was refitted by someone."
"Isn't the broken tricycle in the factory already scrapped?" Li Aimin asked doubtfully.
“The car is scrapped, but there are no big problems with the engine and gearbox. Just find someone to repair it.”
“That’s not right! If that’s the case, why doesn’t the factory repair it? ”
"It can't be repaired, otherwise I wouldn't install it on the tricycle."
Actually, the tricycle is of no use to him. It's not that it can't be repaired. At worst, he can use the power of space to repair it. That’s all.
But Li Aimin believed it and said: "So that's it!"
"Plus one! It will be convenient for you from now on. If you want to go anywhere, just drive away. "
"Uncle Liao, it's not that easy! There's no place to refuel."
"Ah!" Liao Kai scratched his head and said, "Yes, this thing burns oil!"
"Yes! The person who helped me modify it happened to have a barrel of gasoline, so I bought it and waited. After all the oil is burned, I still don’t know where to get gasoline!”
Li Aimin, who was originally very excited, suddenly became depressed when he heard that this thing still needs gasoline.
Gasoline is not easy to deal with! He couldn't get it anyway.
"Okay, just watch! I'm going to cook." After Ye Xin finished speaking, she walked to the kitchen.
PS: Please recommend monthly tickets! Thanks!
