Chapter 185 This is just the beginning
Others may have been deceived by Li Jiayi, but Ye Xin will not.
Because she didn’t believe that her son had spent so much effort to build something that could only be seen but not used.
She still knows what her son is capable of. For others, it is troublesome to get gasoline, but for her son, it is not a problem at all.
But she won’t expose her son, which is better, because then no one will take advantage of the tricycle.
Otherwise, if you use it today, he will use it tomorrow, and he or she will refuse it then.
After the novelty wore off, some people left, and in the end only Liao Kai and Li Aimin were still studying there.
Soon Ye Xin prepared the meal. Because he had been studying tricycles, Liao Kai did not cook and could only invite him to eat together.
Fortunately, Li Jia’s family only cooks too much and not too little, otherwise he wouldn’t even be able to eat.
Originally they were just eating, but unexpectedly, while eating, the two of them actually drank, which made Li Jiayi speechless.
There is no way, both of them like to drink, and although there is only one dish today, it is very good.
After dinner, Li Jiayi went upstairs. As for Li Aimin and Liao Kai who were drinking, let them drink.
Back in the room, Li Jia locked the door from the inside and entered the space directly.
I collected what needed to be harvested first, slaughtered what needed to be slaughtered, and then went to take a bath.
No words for a night.
Li Jiayi got up from bed early in the morning and started his daily essential homework, boxing.
After ten times, Li Jiayi went to wash up, took another shower, changed into clothes, and then came out of the space.
When he came down from upstairs, the meal was ready, he had already washed up, and sat down directly to wait for the meal.
Although their family does not have so many rules, if the adults do not use chopsticks, the children cannot eat first.
This is just the minimum respect, so it must be observed.
"Eat!" Mom ordered, and the family began to eat.
Breakfast is relatively simple, so I eat quickly. After dinner, my parents ride their bicycles to work.
And Li Jiayi told his eldest sister and drove a tricycle out.
Soon I arrived at the place I had made an appointment with the little black fat man. I might have arrived a little early, but there was no one there.
Not even the fat little black guy came over.
Sure enough, he came early. Twenty minutes later, the little black fat guy Guo Detie was the first to come.
Then fifteen or six people came one after another.
"Fat man, come here." Looking at these people, Li Jia waved to the fat man.
“What’s wrong?”
“Is it reliable?”
"Don't worry, you are absolutely reliable. Can you tell me now how to make pocket money?"
Li Jia glanced at him and didn't speak. He just opened the schoolbag he was carrying and took it from inside. He handed over a few oil paper bags.
“What is this?”
“You’ll know if you open it.”
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, the little black fat man quickly opened an oil paper bag, Spiced peanuts appeared before him.
"Peanuts?" The fat little black man looked at Li Jiayi and asked.
"Call them over, let everyone taste it, and let them tell themselves how much this bag of peanuts is worth."
"Uh!" The little black fat man seemed to understand what to do. Earn pocket money.
"Come, come here, have a taste of these peanuts." The little black fat man said while holding the peanuts.
When they heard peanuts, these teenagers’ eyes lit up.
You must know that peanuts can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.
Although supply and marketing cooperatives sell them, they require tickets, and ordinary families will not have peanut tickets.
Don’t talk about peanuts, even peanut butter can only be bought one bottle a year, and it’s still rationed.
Although the conditions at home for these teenagers called over by Fatty Little Hei are better, overall they are still ordinary families.
Even the little black fat guy is the same.
Although his father is the workshop director of the meat factory, he is only at the department level. If he wants to have certain privileges, he must at least start at the department level!
Even the department level is not qualified. Don’t forget where this is. This is the imperial capital!
“It’s delicious, so delicious.”
“Yeah! It’s really delicious.”
Hearing what these teenagers said, Li Jiayi asked: “ Everyone, stop for a moment.”
Li Jiayi's words made these teenagers stop and then turned to look at him.
Li Jiayi pointed to the peanuts in the little black fat man's hand and said, "If it were you, how much would you be willing to spend on a pack like this?"
The teenagers looked back at the little fat man. The fat black man still had a few oily paper packets of peanuts left in his hand.
“I’m talking about the kind I’ve never eaten before, the whole package.”
“It’s only two cents for it!”
"Two cents is not enough, at least three cents."
At this time, Li Jiayi did not speak, but let these teenagers discuss among themselves.
He opened a pack of melon seeds and started eating them.
“Hey, are there any more melon seeds?” The fat little black man saw the melon seeds and came over to grab a few.
“There are melon seeds in those oil paper bags in your hand.”
"Oh!"
"Okay, everyone, listen to me. I can provide you with these peanuts and melon seeds. You can sell them, but the price must be the same."
小The fat black man looked as if that was indeed the case.
“Peanuts sell for 2 cents a pack, I will give you 18 cents, melon seeds cost 10 cents a pack, I will give you 9 cents.”
“Don’t think you can earn 1 cent per pack. Two cents is too little. If you can sell one hundred packets of peanuts and one hundred packets of melon seeds every day, you will have an income of three yuan.”
"If you calculate it this way, do you think it's still less?"
"Ah! Three yuan a day." These teenagers were shocked by the three yuan.
Three yuan a day is ninety a month! This is almost as much as the salary of an eighth-level worker.
“Don’t think it’s difficult to sell a hundred packs a day. Let me tell you, this is just the beginning. After you sell for a while, you may sell more than this in the morning.”
What do you say about selling things? It's actually very simple to find a place with a lot of people and where you are familiar with it.
“Then where are we going to sell?”
“Of course, places with a lot of people, such as movie theaters and streets with a large flow of people.”
“Okay. , I’ll do it,” said a young man.
"Okay, come here." Li Jiayi waved to the young man.
The young man came over quickly.
Li Jia opened the box on the back of the tricycle and took out two schoolbags.
When making this tricycle, Li Jiayi made three different carriages, and the one with the box was one of them.
Li Jia handed two schoolbags to the young man and said, "There are sixty packets of peanuts in this one, and sixty packets of melon seeds in the other. Take it."
Seeing these two schoolbags, the young man's eyes lit up. He was just worried about how to pack these things! Unexpectedly, Li Jiayi had already thought of it.
"You don't need to give me money now. When you sell out and ask me for peanuts and melon seeds, just give me the money."
"Yeah!"
"I Do it too.”
“And me.”
Soon all twenty schoolbags were distributed, but these twenty schoolbags were only enough for ten people.
Including the little fat man, there were seven people without schoolbags.
“Fat man.” Li Jiayi shouted.
"What's the matter?"
Li Jiayi took out forty-two yuan and handed it over and said, "Go to the nearby supply and marketing cooperative and buy fourteen more schoolbags."
“Okay, I’ll go right away.”
Taking the money, the fat little black man ran to the supply and marketing cooperative.
He ran back in less than ten minutes, and then Li Jiayi started loading peanuts and melon seeds into his schoolbag.
Soon, seventeen little fat guys were included, each carrying two schoolbags.
"Li Jiayi, if we sell out, where can I find you?" asked the fat little black man.
“I was just about to tell you that there is a forest on the other side of Houhai. I am in the forest. You can just go over there and find me.”
"Yeah! Got it."
"Okay, let's decide where to go first. It's best to separate, but I still suggest you go to the cinema first."
Although now It was only 1959, but there were still many movie theaters in the imperial capital, basically on every street.
For example, Xinjiekou Cinema, Zhanzhan Road Cinema, Shichahai Cinema, Jiaodaokou Cinema.
“Okay, then let’s go to the cinema to try it first. If it works, we’ll sell it in the cinema. If it doesn’t, we’ll go somewhere else.”
How could it not work in a movie theater, but Li Jiayi didn't say much.
This thing also depends on talent. Some people are born to do business, but some people are not good at doing business at all.
The next step is to look at themselves, which has nothing to do with him.
If it really wasn’t the right one, then he had no choice but to find someone else.
“Fat man, why don’t you leave?”
Everyone else has left, but Fatty is still here.
"Li Jiayi, didn't you go to Houhai?"
"Yes! What's the matter?"
"Hey hey hey, I went to Shichahai Cinema , I’m just on my way, please take me there!”
“Uh!” Li Jia was stunned for a moment, then looked at the fat man and asked, “You didn’t choose Shichahai Cinema because of this?”< br>
"That's right!"
Li Jiayi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You're really good, get on the bus!"
Starting the tricycle, Li Jiayi drove towards Shichahai. First, he sent the fat little black man to the entrance of the cinema, and then Li Jiayi went to the woods.
The main reason why I came here is that this place is relatively hidden and it is next to Houhai.
Li Jiayi can fish to kill time.
As for whether he could catch fish, Li Jiayi didn't care at all. He was just passing the time out of boredom.
Li Jia parked the tricycle and locked it. As for the box, it was empty now.
The peanuts and melon seeds in the box were all put into the space by him.
When someone comes to pick up the goods, just take them out.
Taking out a bamboo chair and a homemade fishing rod from the space, Li Jiayi came to the shore of Houhai.
And it was less than twenty meters away from his tricycle.
As for Asheng, it was one step at a time, and now she is nestling next to him.
He didn’t have time to dig up earthworms, so he mixed a small dough with sesame oil in the space.
Pull off a little bit, hang it on the hook, and throw it directly into regret.
"Li Jiayi."
When he heard someone calling him, Li Jiayi quickly turned his head and looked.
“Lao Niu.”
Yes, the person who called him was none other than Lao Niu from the military compound, Lao Li’s neighbor.
