Chapter 213 Ghost Street Black Market
It’s just a wild boar, it really doesn’t matter to Li Jiayi, he can take it out at any time.
But he can't take it, at least he can't take it out easily.
Even if you are just pretending, you must act like it!
After Director Xu left, the eldest sister said: "Brother, can you help Aunt Xu get the wild boar?"
"Sister, why are you asking this?"
"It's okay, I'm just asking."
Li Jiayi knew that the eldest sister was worried that he wouldn't be able to get it and would offend someone.
"Okay, sister, it's just a wild boar. I can get it back in minutes."
"Ah! Then why didn't you tell Director Xu just now?"
"Sister! Is something that is too easy to get still precious?"
"Ugh!"
Sister is also a smart person! When Li Jiayi said this, she understood what was going on.
At the same time, Director Xu also returned to the subdistrict office, ran into the office and took the front phone to dial.
“Hey!”
"Old Wu! It's me."
"Oh, it turns out to be Director Xu."
Of course Old Wu is Director Wu of the Woolen Textile Factory. The reason why the two of them look like this Familiar because they are comrades-in-arms.
"I said Lao Wu, I will die if you don't ridicule me! Then shall I call you Director Wu from now on?"
"No, I said Lao Xu, open a It’s just a joke, you look anxious.”
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I heard that your factory got twelve wild boars today."
"I said, Lao Xu, you can do this! The eyeliners have been placed in our factory, and I just When you get the news, you already know it.”
“What do I know! Also, what do you mean now? The person who sent the wild boar to your factory told me.”
“Ah! That’s what happened!”
“That’s what happened.” Lao Wu, our sub-district office hasn’t seen any meat for more than a month. Do you think your factory will give us some food?”
Hearing what Director Xu said, Director Wu said with a headache: "Old Xu, as our comrades, I definitely want to agree to you, but I really can't."
"No, Old Wu, that's it. You don’t agree to even small things? Besides, it’s not like I asked for it in vain. I’ll give it back to you after Xiaojia delivers a bunch of wild boars to our street office in two days.”
“I said, Lao Xu, can you "Listen to what I have to say?"
"Uh!" Director Xu was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "That's right, after the wild boar was brought back, the director of the cafeteria He came to me and said he would divide the wild boar and have a dinner with the whole factory tomorrow. I thought it was a good thing! So I agreed, so I have to give the meat to you, but there is nothing I can do now.”
"Uh!" Director Xu didn't know what to say this time, because she misunderstood Lao Wu
"I said Lao Wu, you are really good. You have two to three thousand kilograms of pork. You need it in one meal. Eat it?”
“Oh, there’s nothing we can do about it!” Only your street office hasn’t seen any meat for more than a month. Our factory is about the same. And don’t forget, our factory has more than 10,000 people. It’s good if one person can share a few bites of this little meat.”
< br>Hearing Director Wu say this, Director Xu was also helpless, too! The First Woolen Mill was a large factory, with a total of 14,000 to 5,000 people.
Even if there are three thousand kilograms of pork, it only costs two taels per person on average. How much is two taels? If it is cooked, it will only be two small lumps.
"In that case, let's forget it. Our sub-district office will wait for two more days for Xiao Jiayi to deliver it to us."
"I'm not talking about you, Lao Xu. Since you know the person who delivers meat to our factory, How come your street office is short of meat? Even if he gives you some, you can’t finish it!”
How many people are there in the street office! There are not even as many people as a team in a wool spinning factory.
"Oh, I never thought about it before. Now I have no choice, so I went to look for him, but he has already sent the wild boar to your factory."
"Okay!"< br>
Li Jiayi saw that nothing happened, so he went upstairs to rest. Driving a tricycle was also very tiring.
At around six o'clock, Li Jiayi went out again, of course to deliver food to the fat man.
My mother just came back and prepared the meal. After the meal, Li Jiayi went upstairs to sleep.
The next morning, Li Jiayi went to the small courtyard and put some peanuts and melon seeds out.
Then I drove a tricycle to the pigeon market outside Yongding Gate and sold meat here all morning.
I delivered food to the fat man at noon, took a nap in the courtyard, and went to sell juice in the afternoon.
This thing won't be sold for a few days, because he will start school soon and won't have time to come out then.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jiayi delivered the meal to the fat man, and then found a place to change the carriage.
I put two wild boars on the tricycle, covered them with something, and went directly to the street office.
"Uncle, I'm looking for Director Xu." Li Jiayi said, passing a cigarette to the doorman.
"It's you! Go in!"
"Okay."
After entering the street office, Li Jia drove to the office area, parked the car, and then went straight to Xu Go to the director's office.
“Dong-dong-dong!”
“Come in.”
Li Jiayi pushed the door open and went in, shouting: "Aunt Xu."
"It's Jiayi! Come in quickly, why do you want to come to me at this time?"
"Uh. !" Li Jia was stunned for a moment and said, "Aunt Xu, don't you want a wild boar?"
"Are you here to give a wild boar?" Director Xu asked in disbelief.
She thought it would take a few days for Li Jiayi to do anything, but she didn't expect it to be delivered so quickly.
"Yes! Early this morning, I went to Changping to look for hunters, and I just came back now." "Oh! That was really hard work, how about it? Did you get the wild boar back?"
< br>
"Yes! It's on the tricycle outside."
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Director Xu stood up quickly and said, "Quick, take me to see it."
“Hmm!”
When the two people came outside the office, Director Xu ran towards Li Jiayi's tricycle.
And he lifted up the covering canvas, and when he saw two wild boars, he said in surprise: "You brat, how about two of them?"
"Yeah! Yes, Just give me a piece of money."
"What do you mean, bribe me?"
Li Jiayi curled his lips and said, "Aunt Xu, what do you want? So that I can bribe you?”
"Uh! What do you mean?"
"One of these two wild boars is for your street. How much does it cost? The other one, please clean it up and send it to me. Give it to the families of the martyrs in our streets."
"Ugh!"
"What else?"
"Okay, I promise to give you the meat. Delivered to the hands of every military martyrs.”
"Thank you!"
"You brat, I should be the one thanking you. Even if you don't give it to me, after the pig is killed by the street office, some of it will be given to the families of the martyrs."
Li Jia spread his hands and said, "That's not right. Your street office doesn't need to deliver it now." You can take some of it home."
"Yes! This way, there will be a lot of wild boar meat."
"Okay, Aunt Xu, I'll go back first. After you go back and pack it up, you can just send the money home for me.”
"Well! Don't worry, Aunt Xu won't let you suffer a loss."
Li Jiayi shrugged and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter. If you suffer a loss, it's a one-time deal. If you don't suffer a loss, you can continue."
“You brat.”
Two days later, the family got up early in the morning because school started today.
Well now, the three siblings finally go to the same school.
Yes, the second sister Li Jialin is also in junior high school this year, and she is in the first year of junior high school.
In this way, the three siblings happen to be in the first, second and third grade of junior high school.
The eldest sister is in the third grade of junior high school, Li Jiayi is in the second grade of junior high school, and the second sister is in the first grade of junior high school.
Today is the first day. I won’t go to class. I just have to pay tuition and get new books.
I estimate that I can go home before noon, and then wait for the official class tomorrow.
After breakfast, the three siblings left home with Asheng and Aquan. Because they were going to school, Li Jiayi did not drive a tricycle.
The two of them followed their second sister to register first, then paid the tuition and were divided into classes. After all these were completed, the two of them returned to the class.
It was exactly what he thought, which was to pay tuition, get new books, and then go home.
Li Jiayi has just upgraded. He is still the same student in the original class. He does not need to introduce himself, so of course it will be fast.
“Plus one, there is no class in the afternoon, can I take someone to sell peanuts and melon seeds?”
"Fat man, didn't I tell you? It's all up to you. You don't need to ask me at all. I just provide you with things."
"I understand, then I'll leave first."
“Yeah!”
When Li Jiayi arrived at the school gate, the eldest sister was already waiting here, even faster than Li Jiayi and the others.
"Brother, your second sister may still need some time, let's wait for her here."
"Okay, sister."
Li Jiayi didn't care. It didn't matter if he went back early or went back later.
Anyway, there is not much to do when I go back. The most I can do is for the eldest sister and the second sister to review their new books.
That afternoon, staff from the sub-district office came to the courtyard to distribute food stamps.
That’s right, today is September 1st! On the first day of this month, of course, the street people have to come and distribute food stamps, otherwise someone will not be able to reveal the blame.
I just don’t understand why I came here to distribute food stamps in the afternoon. If the food stamps were distributed in the morning, I could go to the food station to buy snacks in the afternoon.
Posting it at this time, I definitely don’t have time to buy it today. After all, there was still a long queue in the past.
What Li Jiayi didn’t know was that the distribution did not start in the afternoon, but had already started in the morning, but it was their hospital’s turn in the afternoon.
My parents are not at home, so of course I have to leave the food stamps to my eldest sister for safekeeping.
Li Jiayi knew that after food stamps were issued today, there would be an era of food shortages.
A week passed in the blink of an eye. At about twelve o'clock that night, after everyone in the family was asleep, Li Jiayi came down from upstairs.
Then he took Asheng out of the back door and went straight to the ghost market.
Ghost Street is also known as Guijie in later generations, but now this place is called Ghost Street, and it is also where the current black market is.
Li Jiayi came here not to buy or sell things, he came here to take a look.
To put it bluntly, he wanted to inquire about the current market situation. You must know that the food stamps in the pigeon market have increased a lot. He wanted to see what the black market was like.
PS: Love is always there across thousands of rivers and mountains, can you give me a monthly pass? Thanks!
