Chapter 235 It’s snowing, the fat man is helpless
The woolen mill is not short of meat now, but it is short of food. No matter how much meat there is, it cannot be eaten.
Of course, this is just an analogy. If you really eat meat as rice, you will need a lot more meat.
After leaving No. 7 Courtyard, the three siblings got on their bicycles and quickly arrived at the school.
"Old...Li Jiayi." As soon as he entered the school, he met Guo Detie.
The boy originally wanted to call him "boss", but when he thought this was a school, he immediately changed his name.
“You came here very early today?” Li Jiayi said with a smile.
"Well! It's a little early."
"Big sister and second sister, Fatty and I will go back to class first."
"Okay."
< br>
The two of them did not return to the class, but went directly to where the boss was carrying people. Guo Detie took out a handful of money and handed it over and said: "Boss, these are food money, please keep it."
"Well! Then I will accept it. When will I accept it in the future? Just tell me when you need to."
"Thank you, boss."
"My brother, why are you so polite?"
The little black fat man Guo Detie is not being polite. Sincere thanks.
The hard times had been going on for several months now, and he knew exactly what it was like.
At this time, food is equal to life. Only with food can you survive.
"I know you don't care about this, boss, but you still have to be grateful." Guo Detie said.
"Okay, just say it, and I can really thank you! Let's go back to class."
"Yeah!"
The day passed quickly. After dinner that night, Li Jiayi came out of the back door.
Then he went straight to the military compound.
We got a lot of tobacco and alcohol here in the military compound, and they were all for exclusive use.
When I came back, I sent a lot of grain and meat to Master Wu, and also got some small yellow croakers.
Normally, Li Jiayi is doing big business, and he shouldn’t be doing a small business like Mr. Wu, but don’t forget, Mr. Wu is not representing him alone, but many antiques. world people.
The three-year difficult period has just begun. It won't take long for more people to come to him through Master Wu.
At that time, it will not only represent big and small yellow croakers, but also represent many antiques.
These antiques, rather than being destroyed by then, would be better off for him.
After several nights, Li Jiayi finally delivered all the food and meat requested by the military compound.
Although there were not many things sent over, Li Jiayi got a lot! There are more than 20,000 kilograms of grain, one-third of which is white flour and two-thirds of which is cornmeal.
These alone are worth more than 17,000, plus nearly 1,000 kilograms of pork, the total value is about 20,000.
And all this money was exchanged for tobacco and alcohol. You can imagine how much it was.
You must know that a bottle of Maotai is only 2.97 cents, and a bottle of Great China is only 7.5 yuan.
It can be said that the harvest of tobacco and alcohol this time is more than ever before.
Even if he bought it with his own money, there is no way to compare with this time.
On Saturday, the sky was overcast and the temperature felt a few degrees higher than the previous day.
On the way to school, Li Jiayi raised his head and glanced at the sky, and said to his eldest sister: "Sister, it might snow today."
"Snowing? No way?" The second sister took over from the side.
"Why not? It snowed before November last year, and now it is about to enter mid-December. Isn't it normal for it to snow?"
"Brother, I That’s not what I’m talking about. I mean can it really snow today?”
The eldest sister nodded at this time and said: "It's really possible to snow today, but it's okay to snow! It would be better if it rains heavily."
Hearing what the eldest sister said, Li Jiayi shook his head helplessly He shook his head, because he knew very well that even if it snowed, it would not be heavy.
The drought will continue.
Not long after arriving at school, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, but they were very small.
“It’s snowing.”
I don't know who shouted, and everyone ran to the window to look outside.
"Li Jiayi, it's really snowing." Guo Detie, the fat little black man, shouted excitedly.
The snow fell a little late this year, so everyone was so excited to see the snow.
Of course, more people hope that the snow will be the same as last year, because in that case, schools may have a holiday.
There are definitely not a few people who think this way, but unfortunately they will be disappointed.
Sure enough, by the time school ended at noon, there was less than five centimeters of snow on the ground. Although it was still falling, many people knew very well that the snow was not heavy.
After everyone in the class went out, Guo Detie said: "Boss, give me the lunch box, I will go to the cafeteria to get food."
"Well! Just get the staple food. I will get it today. I brought a lot of food.”
“Okay, boss.”
The class also set up a stove, which is used for heating. Although there is only one, As long as it's not too cold, it still has some effect.
In weather like last year, this stove was useless. There was no big difference between burning and not burning.
After the fat little black guy Guo Detie went out, Li Jiayi took out three lunch boxes and brought them to the stove.
Lift the kettle off the stove and put the three lunch boxes on it, just big enough to put them down.
He was just trying it out, but he didn’t expect it to work, so he quickly put the lunch box into the static space.
Then he started waiting nearby. Feeling that it was almost time for Guo Detie to come back, he took out the lunch box and put it on.
Sure enough, in less than two minutes, the little black fat man Guo Detie came back with two lunch boxes.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
Because the top of the stove is sealed with fire to prevent gas poisoning. To put it bluntly, it is just a piece of iron.
“I’m going to heat up the food, and then we can eat it here, and the food won’t get cold.”
After speaking, Li Jia opened the three lunch boxes, and sure enough, something popped out of the lunch boxes. heat. Putting the lunch box on the stove can indeed be heated, but Li Jiayi doesn't need it.
Because these dishes are placed in a static space, they are hot when taken out.
Three dishes, a pork head, a couple's lung slices, and a scrambled egg with tomatoes.
“Fat man, what staple food are you eating?”
“Boss, it’s rice.”
"Okay, give it to me!"
"Okay."
Li Jia opened two lunch boxes of rice, then picked up tomatoes and scrambled eggs, and poured half of each lunch box.
Rice and tomatoes and scrambled eggs are a perfect match!
“Fat man, here you go.” Li Jia handed over lunch boxes one by one.
"Thank you, boss."
"You're so polite! Hurry up and eat."
"Yeah!"
Li Jiayi used chopsticks to mix the rice with tomatoes and scrambled eggs. After mixing it, he started eating.
Ten minutes later, the two of them finished the meal, and there was not a single bit left.
"Boss, I'm so full!"
"Okay, go and wash the lunch box, otherwise the classmates will see it."
"I'll go right now."
Nowadays, many people don’t even have enough to eat. The two of them are both meat and eggs here. It’s not good for their classmates to know.
After Guo Detie went out, Li Jia opened the front and rear doors to let the air circulate.
Anyway, it's not very cold today, so even if I open the door, I won't feel anything.
He is trying to diffuse the smell in the air.
More than ten minutes later, Guo Detie ran back, and at this time, there was basically no flavor in the class.
“Boss, I’ll give you the lunch box.”
“Yes!”
Li Jiayi took the lunch box and put it into the bucket. He saw the fat man sitting down and asked, "Why don't you go out to play today?"
The fat man looked outside and said, "It's so snowy." "Little, what's so fun?"
Guo Detie likes to play, and as long as it's not class time, it can be said that he rarely stays in the class.
"I think you think the snow is too light?"
"That's right, it's either going to rain harder or it won't rain at all. At this level, it's not fun at all."< br>
"Okay! In that case, just take a nap with me!"
As soon as Li Jia finished speaking, he took out his schoolbag, put it on the desk, and then lay on the schoolbag.
The main reason is that the desk is too cold. It is much better to put a school bag on it, and it is softer.
Seeing Li Jiayi's behavior, Guo Detie also followed suit.
In the afternoon, snow continued to fall in the sky. Although the snow was not heavy, it kept falling.
But until school was over, there was only about ten centimeters of snow on the ground.
And this is talking about places where no one has stepped on it. For example, on the road outside, there is basically no snow.
This is not only because of people stepping on it, but also because of the sanitation workers cleaning it.
Since there is no snow on the road, the bicycle can still be ridden, it is just a little slippery.
This is normal. Even if it rains, let alone snow, the road will still be slippery.
"Second sister, be careful when riding a bicycle, don't fall." The eldest sister explained.
"I know, sister, don't worry."
"Yeah!"
After Li Jiayi got on the elder sister's bicycle, he waved to Guo Detie and said: "Fat man , let’s go first.”
“Okay.”
In fact, Fatty is rich. Not to mention buying one bicycle, there is no problem even if he buys two or three.
This was even after he spent a lot of money buying food.
The main reason why he hasn't bought a bicycle yet is that he can't ride it. He has practiced it many times, but he just can't learn it.
This makes Fatty very helpless.
If you don’t know how to ride, it’s useless to buy one!
On the contrary, most of the guys who helped him sell peanuts and melon seeds bought bicycles. Although they were basically second-hand, they were not bicycles.
As for why I bought a second-hand one, there is no need to think about it, because there is no bicycle ticket.
Besides, the twenty bicycles sold in the trust store are also guaranteed, so there is no need to worry about them being stolen.
Li Jiayi did have a bicycle ticket in his hand, but they didn't ask him when they bought the bicycle.
Also, although Li Jiayi has bicycle tickets, he doesn’t have so many!
Moreover, he is reluctant to sell some of the bicycle tickets in his hand because they are all general bicycle tickets.
Nowadays these general bicycle tickets are of little use and are no different from ordinary bicycle tickets.
But it will be different in the future, especially after bicycles are sold at a premium, the value of this universal bicycle ticket will be reflected.
Looking at the classmates leaving on bicycles, Fatty was envious, but envy was useless.
But Fatty also made a decision, that is, he must learn to ride a bicycle.
Soon the three siblings returned home. Li Jia hung his schoolbag on the clothes hanger at the door and went over to light up the fireplace.
PS: Please recommend monthly tickets! Thanks!
