Chapter 224 Come and see the fool
After coming out of the bread factory, Li Jia glanced at his pocket watch. It was still early, so there was nothing wrong with going back at this time.
After thinking about it, Li Jiayi went to Liulichang. Liao Kai went out early this morning. If he guessed correctly, Liao Kai should be shopping for treasures in Liulichang at this time.
I haven’t seen Liao Kai Taobao yet, so Li Jiayi planned to take a look and give him the employment form of the bakery.
Ten minutes later, Li Jiayi arrived at Liulichang. Because there were so many people, he did not find a place to put the tricycle away.
He locked the tricycle directly on the roadside and went in with Asheng.
Liulichang is just a street, with antique shops everywhere on both sides of the road, but these antique shops are now owned by public-private partnerships.
Of course, there are also purely public ones, which is the only antique trust store here.
With so many stores, Li Jiayi didn’t know which one Liao Kai was in, so he could only wander around one by one.
Because Asheng was too big, before entering the store, he left Asheng at the door of the store and he went in alone.
This antique store is quite big, and there are many people inside. The shelves in the store are filled with all kinds of antiques.
This store is not a Quanzhen store. This can be seen from the pricing.
The Quanzhen store does not sell fakes, and every antique is marked with a price.
Of course, because it is absolutely true, the price is a lot more expensive.
There is also an antique shop like this one, where each antique is not marked with a price. As for whether it is true or false, it all depends on your ability.
Likewise, the prices for antiques here are not very high.
Li Jiayi walked around the store and came out. There were many antiques in it, but he didn’t know which ones were real and which ones were fake. What he was doing here.
Soon Li Jiayi came to the second store. Like the first store, this one did not have a price.
Li Jiayi turned around and came out because he didn't see Liao Kai here either.
He doesn't buy antiques, nor does he look at them. He's just looking for people, so he moves quickly.
In less than ten minutes, he visited seven or eight stores, and then Li Jiayi entered another store.
After entering, he discovered that although this was also an antique store, it was a trust store.
The trust store specializes in antiques, which piqued Li Jiayi's interest.
There are many antiques in the store. Li Jia walked around and found that the value of these antiques was not high.
Most of them cost around tens of yuan, and there are quite a few that cost more than ten yuan a piece.
There are only a few pieces that cost more than 200 yuan each, and there are not even many that cost more than 100 yuan.
These antiques were collected by the trust store, and those with research value have been collected.
The remaining ones either have little research value or are relatively large in number.
After collecting these antiques, they will be placed in the store for a period of time for people to buy. If no one buys them after a period of time, they will be packaged and sold abroad for foreign exchange.
Li Jia thought for a while and decided to take action. Although these antiques have little research value, it does not mean that they are not valuable.
I asked for all the items that cost more than 200 yuan each, and then selected some items that cost more than 100 yuan each.
Li Jia spent a total of more than 1,400 yuan, which can be said to be the most he has spent since he became rich.
This is more than four thousand yuan! Even the manager of the trust store was polite to him.
Holding the antiques in his arms, Li Jiayi came out of the store and continued to walk forward. As he walked, the antiques in his hands became less and less.
When he came to the door of an antique store again, he was holding some newspapers containing antiques in his hands.
He threw the newspaper outside the store and walked directly in.
He walked out of the store without even stopping.
The main reason is that this antique store is very small, and you can see it at a glance when you enter.
After going to four or five antique stores in a row, he finally saw Liao Kai.
Liao Kai was looking at an antique in this antique shop. It was an inkstone. He didn’t know whether he could see it correctly or something, but he kept looking at it.
Even when Li Jia walked up to him, he didn't notice it.
Liao Kai was looking at antiques. Li Jiayi did not disturb him and just stood aside and waited.
A few minutes later, Liao Kai put down the inkstone and saw Li Jiayi.
"Hey! Why are you here?"
"I have nothing to do today. I thought you might be here, so I came over to take a look."
"Aren't you here to buy antiques?" Liao Kai asked.
“No!” Li Jiayi shook his head.
He didn't lie. He really wasn't here to buy antiques. As for the ones he bought at the trust store, they didn't count at all.
After all, those were appraised by others, so he just spent money.
“Uncle Liao, how is this inkstone?”
"It's okay, what's the matter, you want to buy it?"
"Yeah!"
"I think it's better to forget it. I took a look just now. Although this inkstone is still open, it is not top quality. , and the price is not cheap.”
“Oh! How much?”
“This is the number.” Liao Kai slapped him.
"No, just this thing costs 5,000?" Li Jiayi asked incredulously.
Then Liao Kai looked at him like a fool and said: "What five thousand? It's five hundred."
"Uh! Five hundred! It's not expensive."< br>
"Pfft!" Liao Kai almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Five hundred is not expensive! How much is it expensive?
On this point, Li Jiayi and Liao Kai have different concepts. In Liao Kai's opinion, if you can't buy an antique cheaper, you will lose money.
But Li Jiayi is different. For him, as long as the things are good, it doesn’t matter even if they are more expensive. No matter how expensive it is, it can still be more expensive than that of future generations. If you spend 500 yuan to buy this inkstone now, you will have no problem selling it for millions in future generations.
"You are really rich now. I can buy several inkstones like this for five hundred yuan."
"Uh! Okay! No more. ”
Next, the two of them wandered around various antique stores and looked at a lot of things, but didn't buy any of them.
There is no way, because in Liao Kai's opinion, these prices are too high and not worth it at all.
In this case, Li Jiayi did not buy it. There will be more opportunities to buy antiques in the future, and the price will be cheaper.
Not only that, you can also buy a lot of good products, which are not comparable to those in Liulichang and these antique stores.
At this time, there is not much use in keeping money, but he is not willing to be taken advantage of.
Even if you want to buy some, just go to a trust store or antique trust store and buy some. After all, they are all real, and the price is much cheaper than these antique stores.
Looking at his pocket watch, it was already half past eleven. Li Jiayi asked: "Uncle Liao, it's getting late, do you want to go back?"
"Why are you going back? A moment later. Let’s find a place to deal with it and watch it in the afternoon.”
Liao Kai can only come here once a week, but he doesn’t stay here for a day. The main reason is that he is at work at other times and has no time to come here.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. It's already half past eleven. I think we should go have something to eat first and come back later."
"Okay, let's go. Uncle Liao will treat you to dinner today."
"Uncle Liao, do you have a ticket?"
"Yes! Why not? I exchanged some with others. It’s okay to treat you to a meal.”
If it’s at home, it doesn’t matter, but outside, Liao Kai won’t let Li Jiayi and his children treat him to a meal.
I can’t afford to lose that person.
Soon the two of them found a restaurant. Although the restaurant was not big, it was state-owned.
"Uncle Liao, that's it!"
"Okay."
After the two people came in, they discovered that there were already several tables of people, and these people were with them Same, they all go to antique stores.
In a state-owned restaurant, no matter how small it is, you pay first and then eat. Only after paying, do you place an order for the chef.
"Jiayi, what do you want to eat?"
Li Jiayi thought for a while and said: "Uncle Liao, just have something casual! I want braised pork, stewed chicken, and two vegetarian dishes as staple food. Just rice!”
Although Li Jiayi’s voice is not loud, the restaurant is small! So everyone in the restaurant heard what he said.
Then everyone looked at him like a fool.
Even Liao Kai was speechless.
Others looked at Li Jiayi as if he were a fool, but Liao Kai didn't. He was helpless at best.
What Li Jiayi said was casual, and indeed he was casual. The things he ordered were difficult to eat in the eyes of others, but they were nothing to Li Jiayi.
"What's the matter, Uncle Liao?"
"Plus one, change to something else!"
"Why? Don't you have a ticket? It doesn't matter, I have it here. "Li Jiayi took out a handful of tickets from his schoolbag.
"Put it away quickly. This is not because of the tickets. It's because what you said doesn't exist here at all."
"No! How is it possible!"
"It's true. It doesn't exist at all now." We can’t buy meat, and the same goes for restaurants, so we can only eat vegetarian dishes or noodles.”
“No!”
“Really.”
Li Jiayi scratched his head and said: "Uncle Liao, you said that if I bring my own meat, will they cook it for me?"
"Uh!" Liao Kai shook his head and said, "I don't know either."
"Uncle Liao, go and ask Ask, we'll pay for the processing, it's best if you do it yourself."
"You kid, I finally had a day off, and you asked me to help you cook."
"Hey. Hehe.”
"Wait a minute, I'll ask."
"Yes!"
A few minutes later, Liao Kai came back, nodded to Li Jia and said, "They agreed, I I cook by myself, but I also made a request. "
"What request?"
"That is to help them buy five kilograms of pork, and they will not let us help for free, and we will not charge for processing. Fee.”
"That's it?"
"Yes."
"Uncle Liao, go and tell them it's okay, I'll go to the tricycle to get the meat."
"Ah! Have you sold it already?"
"Yes! And I bought a lot because I know you will treat me to dinner tonight." Li Jiayi said with a smile.
"I will treat you tonight? What do you mean?"
"You will know when we get back. I will get the meat first."
"Hey, kid, make it clear, I..."< br>
Unfortunately, Li Jiayi has run away.
He said he was going to the tricycle to get meat, but Li Jiayi didn’t go to the tricycle at all.
