Chapter 198 Why do gringos want to buy everything?
“How is it possible? I packed all my schoolbags and sat in the living room waiting, but no one has come back yet.”
< br>"Normal, definitely not there in the morning The sales are good in the afternoon, after all, there are fewer people watching movies in the morning.”
“That’s right, the most people are in the evening, and the sales are best.”
Li Jia drives a tricycle. Entering the yard, he carried three oil paper bags into the house.
The electric fan was placed on the Eight Immortals table by the little black fat man.
"Come on, sit down and have a rest." The fat little black man quickly pulled up a chair and said.
"Hmm! How about it? Doesn't it feel more comfortable with this thing?"
"Of course, I haven't felt hot all morning."
" Hahaha.”
"What is this?" the little black fat man asked when he saw Li Jia placing three oil paper bags on the Eight Immortals table.
"Meal for the two of us at noon."
"Ah! I was just about to tell you, should I take time to go home for lunch?"
"No, I will bring you food at noon, and we will eat together."
Li Jia opened the oil paper bag.
When he saw that there were pig head meat and pork liver inside, the little black fat man Guo Detie's eyes lit up.
I felt that I had made a lot of money, but when I thought about Li Jiayi eating like this in school, I thought it was normal.
"Come, let's eat!"
"Okay."
"Hey, what kind of steamed buns are these?" Guo Detie asked.
"Cornmeal!"
"Impossible. Our family often uses cornmeal to make steamed buns, which are hard and unpalatable."
"That's because the method is wrong. This is indeed cornmeal. Don't you think it's cornmeal?" Didn’t taste it?”
“It smells like cornmeal, but how is that possible?”
“It’s impossible, these are cornmeal buns made by myself.”
The little black fat man Guo Detie looked at Li Jiayi in surprise and asked: "Did you do this? How?"
"I tell you, you can't do it, so I won't tell you."
He is right, because no one can beat cornmeal into fine powder.
I even wanted to beat the corn cobs into it and beat it into cornmeal. How could it be beaten into fine powder?
To make such delicious cornmeal steamed buns, refined flour is necessary, even with the husks outside the corn kernels.
After eating, Li Jiayi asked the fat little black man to help him carry a small bed in the west room into the living room.
Finding something to wipe clean, Li Jiayi lay on it and took a nap. Anyway, there was an electric fan blowing, so it wasn’t hot.
The fat little black man looked at Li Jiayi helplessly, he wanted to sleep too! But the bed was too small, and given his size, it was okay for him to sleep alone.
But he also knew that he couldn't sleep because someone would be here soon.
It was exactly what he thought. Before one o'clock, someone came back.
The fat little black man heard the knock on the door and ran out quickly to open the door.
"Fat..."
"Shh, don't talk, Jiayi is sleeping inside."
"Oh! Okay."
Two people He came to the house quietly, and the little black fat man went to change his school bag, and he went to fill the kettle himself.
When the little black fat man took out two schoolbags filled with peanuts and melon seeds, he happened to fill them with water as well.
"Fat man, I'll give you the money."
"Yeah!" The fat man took the money, counted it on the spot, and asked the guy to take his schoolbag and leave.
The next step is the busy time for the fat little black guy, but many people envy him!
Not to mention sitting in the room, Li Jiayi actually got this guy an electric fan.
Although the electric fan was blowing on Li Jiayi when they came over, they knew that after they left, the fat man would sit there and blow on him as well.
But it’s useless to be envious, and they are making money! Not here to enjoy.
After everyone left, the little fat man originally planned to put peanuts and melon seeds in his schoolbag, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do it.
It is better to wait until Li Jiayi leaves and then go in with the fan to install it, otherwise it will be too hot.
Anyway, there is a lot of time, and Li Jiayi cannot stay here for long.
Li Jiayi woke up before two o'clock. Although there was an electric fan blowing, it was incomparable to being in the space.
So the quality of sleep was not good, which is why he woke up so early.
"Okay, Fatty, I'll leave first."
"Yeah!"
The Fatty quickly went out to help him open the door, and Li Jiayi drove away on a tricycle. Got here.
As soon as Li Jia left, the fat man entered the east room with an electric fan and began to put peanuts and melon seeds in his schoolbag.
As for Li Jiayi, he came to the family area of the embassy again and started selling juice.
“Child, give me a glass of juice.”
Li Jia put away the money and said, “Go by yourself.”
“Hey, kid, you are so cold Can you sell me some?”
"Why do you want ice cubes?"
"Drink! I don't want it now. I will buy it when you go back."
Li Jiayi didn't understand, these foreigners When drinking, why do you like to add ice cubes? It’s not like drinking beer.
“My ice cubes are not cheap to make.”
“I know, let’s see how much you have left in the end. I’ll give you the money. If you can, just sell it to me. You can’t tell me the number.”
"Okay, we'll talk about it tonight."
"Okay, but you'd better leave some for me. I'll treat my friends to drinks tonight."
"Okay."
Li There are a lot of ice cubes in the plus one space, especially ice cubes frozen with mineral water. It's not impossible to sell some to this foreigner, but what he doesn't understand is, doesn't this foreigner have a refrigerator at home?
You must know that there are refrigerators sold in foreign-related stores!
And the electricity used in the place they live in can definitely be used as a refrigerator.
If he lived in a place like this, he would buy a refrigerator anyway, at least for his own convenience.
Actually, this is because Li Jiayi, a foreigner, thinks that he is too rich.
Their wages are not high. Compared with those in China, they are definitely much higher. But compared with those in developed countries, their jobs are actually very low.
Moreover, all the money earned cannot be used by oneself, and part of it must be remitted to the family.
The prices here in the Imperial Capital are low, but the prices where they buy things are not low.
A refrigerator costs more than a thousand dollars. To be honest, not many people are willing to buy it.
"Two glasses of juice."
"Get it yourself." After speaking, Li Jia put away the money.
"Kid, I see there are very few people doing business here, why can you?"
"Because I earn foreign exchange!"
"Earn foreign exchange? You mean the U.S. dollar!" But others can also make money?”
Li Jiayi wiped the cup and said: "It's not that we can't do business here, but it must be the result of your own labor."
"The result of your own labor? You mean Do you want to make it yourself? ”
"That's right. For example, if someone catches fish in the river, he can sell it for money. For example, if he goes hunting in the mountains and catches wild boars, rabbits, etc., he can also sell them."
"That's it. Ah! I thought we couldn’t even do business!”
“No, no. To do business, you can’t speculate, buy or sell, buy low and sell high.”
“Okay! This is quite complicated, I don’t understand it.”
Don’t say it. He didn't buy low and sell high. Even if he bought low and sold high, no one would probably care if he sold it to a gringo.
Who's to say anything about making gringo money.
"By the way, you foreigners can only buy things in foreign-related stores? Can't you buy them elsewhere?"
The foreigner shrugged and said: "Yes, The same is not allowed."
"Then where do you sell your food?"
Li Jiayi knows that there are no grains and vegetables in foreign-related stores.
The foreigner pointed in one direction and said: "There is a service club there, which is specially open to our family area. We all buy things there."
Li Jia looked over there. I didn't see anything, it was probably blocked by the building.
After wiping the cup, Li Jiayi took out a bag of peanuts, opened it, and made himself a glass of watermelon juice.
Drink and eat at the same time.
“Hey, peanuts, are these for sale?”
"Uh! You can buy this too, but the service agency doesn't sell peanuts?"
"They do, but they are all raw."
After saying that, he looked at Li Jiayi and asked: " Can I have a taste?"
"Okay." Li Jia pushed the oil paper bag over.
It’s just a little peanut, Li Jiayi really doesn’t care, don’t forget, they are his customers.
"Yeah! It's delicious. It's better than the fried peanuts in big restaurants."
"Uh!" Li Jiayi was speechless. This is five-spice peanuts, while others are deep-fried. It's completely different. OK.
“Where did you buy this? Why don’t you see it sold anywhere?”
Li Jiayi shrugged and said, “I made this myself, of course it’s sold elsewhere. Not for sale.”
“You made it yourself, do you have any more?”
"Okay! It's fifty cents a pack, you can have as much as you want."
"Give me ten packs first, and I'll take them back and let my friends try them."
"Okay."< br>
Taking the five-dollar knife from the foreigner, Li Jiayi took out ten packages of peanuts from the box and handed them over.
“Is there anything I can put it in?”
"Yes." Li Jiayi took out a small net bag and handed it over.
He has a lot of these things. Every time he goes to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things, he always has a few, and there are still quite a few in the space now.
And this thing doesn’t cost money. If you buy more things from the supply and marketing cooperative, they will give them to you.
Time passed by in a blink of an eye, and it was past six o'clock in the afternoon.
Now he doesn’t need to get peanuts and melon seeds by himself, so he harvests them later.
The gringo who bought peanuts earlier came over. Needless to say, he came to buy ice cubes.
Yes, he was the one who wanted to buy ice cubes before.
"Are there any ice cubes left?"
"Yes."
Li Jiayi opened the box, took out a piece of ice and wrapped it in oil paper.
This piece of ice is not small, ten centimeters wide, ten centimeters thick, and about twenty centimeters long.
"So big?"
"You can smash it when you go back, otherwise it will be finished soon."
"That's true." The gringo nodded, Said: "How about I give you two dollars for this piece of ice?"
"Okay."
Handed over a two-dollar knife, the foreigner quickly wrapped the ice in oil paper, hugged it, and walked back.
Needless to say, his party should have started, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry.
Seeing that there was no one around, Li Jiayi started to clean up.
PS: Please recommend monthly tickets! Thanks!
