Chapter 241 A group of people taking care of their father
You must know that eggs are not rationed. Only families with pregnant women at home can get two kilograms of egg stamps every month, and they are only given for half a year.
Before the difficult times, if you wanted to eat eggs, you could only go to the pigeon market to buy them.
But now there are no eggs for sale in Pigeon Market, so even if you want to buy them, there is no place.
"Well, there are more than before." Li Aimin nodded, then looked at Li Jiayi and asked: "Son, did you do it on purpose?"
"What's intentional?"
"Of course it's to hit Hai Dafu! You hit him on purpose, right?"
"No way, it's just a coincidence." Li Jiayi said quickly.
"You bastard, it was a coincidence! If you hadn't asked the three of them to help, I would have thought you were lucky, but now, I'm sure you did it on purpose."
Li Jiayi He spread his hands and said, "You can think whatever you want. Anyway, I just happened to catch up."
"Okay, if you say it's a coincidence, it's a coincidence." Li Aimin didn't want to argue with Li Jiayi about this, it was pointless.
Liao Kai gave Li Jiayi a thumbs up at this time and said: "You can do it, kid."
Time flies by, and it is the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. In this era, the winter vacation is relatively long, and it is not yet The holidays begin in the twelfth lunar month, and school starts after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Basically, it falls on March 1st in the Gregorian calendar, which is already past the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
We have just entered the twelfth lunar month, and it is already freezing outside.
Since the first snowfall, there have been several snowfalls, but they have all been relatively minor.
This is good, because Li Jiayi’s sled can always be used. It is already the twelfth lunar month, and Li Jiayi plans to visit his master today.
No, after breakfast, Li Jiayi drove the sled out of the house and went straight to the master's house.
Although he told Master last time that he would no longer send anything to Master’s house before the Chinese New Year, he felt uncomfortable if he didn’t.
In less than ten minutes, Li Jiayi arrived at the door of his master's house, jumped off the sleigh, went over and squeezed the door knocker and clicked it a few times.
The door opened quickly, and of course it was his beautiful and lovely senior sister Li Wanyu who opened the door.
"Senior sister."
"Senior brother, you are here, come in quickly." Senior sister opened the door.
"Wait a moment, senior sister, I'll get something."
"Yes!"
The master's family is not short of food now, so he didn't send food this time, but he brought a lot of meat.
Twenty kilograms of pork alone, ten kilograms of lard suet, two chickens, ducks and geese each, and ten kilograms of beef.
In addition to these, I also brought ten pounds of peanut and rapeseed blended oil, five pounds of sesame paste, and five pounds of sesame salt.
Master prefers to eat these. There is nothing else but the smell.
"Junior brother, why do you bring so many things?" Li Wanyu asked.
"Senior sister, isn't it almost the Chinese New Year? You and Master have something good to eat."
"You are already eating well. Others can't even eat enough."
Li Jiayi scratched his head and said: "The others are others and have nothing to do with us."
"Okay!"
"Master, I'm here."
Seeing so many things in front of him, Li Shugen looked up at him and said, "You brat, didn't you promise me last time not to send anything over before the Chinese New Year? Why did you bring so much over again?"
"Master, isn't it the Chinese New Year soon? It's almost time to pump out oil. , these are sent to Master for you to use for oil production. "
"You are talking nonsense, what time of year is it! Who is producing oil just after entering the twelfth lunar month?"
Normally? , oil production only occurs after the Little New Year, because after the Little New Year, there are only a few days left before the Chinese New Year.
“Okay, Master, I’ve brought you all here, you can’t let me take them back again!”
Li Shugen sighed and said: "Okay! Master accepts these things, but don't give them to me during the New Year."
"Master, how can I do that? It's now, the New Year is the New Year, who doesn't give it to anyone during the New Year?" Elder, please get something!”< br>
“You brat.”
“Okay, Master, I have to go to another place to deliver things. When I have time, I will come over and listen to your teachings.”
"Okay, get out."
"Hey, I'm leaving now."
After coming out of the master's house, Li Jia drove his sled directly to the military compound.
Because it’s not very far, it’s relatively quick to get there.
He has been to this place so many times that he can go in without any notification, and he is driving a sled.
After entering the military compound, Li Jiayi did not go to Lao Li's house first, but went to the service agency first.
He wanted to buy some cigarettes and alcohol first. These tickets were still the same as before. Now Li Jiayi exchanged cigarettes and alcohol with the military compound. They were all bought, so there was no need for him to come over to buy them again.
Five boxes of twenty-five bottles of Maotai, and one hundred cartons of cigarettes exclusively for Greater China.
Buying these things cost Li Jiayi more than a thousand yuan, not counting the value of the tickets.
Putting the cigarettes and wine into the box, Li Jiayi went to Lao Li's house.
The Chinese New Year is approaching and there is a lot of movement, so the door of Lao Li's house is open.
Li Jia drove the sled directly into the yard. Fortunately, the snow in the yard was not cleared very clean, otherwise he would not have been able to get in.
"Xiao Li, why are you so damn stupid?" Lao Li came out of the house and asked.
“What’s wrong, Old Li?”
“How long has it been since your last visit?” Old Li asked.
“Uh!” Li Jiayi scratched his head, it’s true! It's been a long time since I've been here.
"Do you know, kid, that people come to my house every day to look for me, which annoys me so much?"
So it's because of this! No wonder Lao Li is so angry. If it were brought to him, if someone bothered him every day, he would be angry too! "Okay, Lao Li, do you know how to use words?"
"Go away, I know how to use them."
"Okay, you can use them well." Come on! ”
"Okay, Xiao Li, stop talking nonsense." Lao Li looked at Li Jiayi and asked seriously: "Before the Chinese New Year, can you exchange some food with everyone?"
"I can get it. But we still need to count it first, otherwise it will be too messy.”
“This. No problem! Let’s do the counting.”
“Yes! When doing the counting, you have to take back the flour bags, otherwise I don’t have that many bags.”
"Okay, I know this, is there anything else?"
"It's best to write your name on the flour bag. I will pack the food for them according to the statistics."
"This is no problem."
"That's fine, statistics. Just leave it to me. It’s still the same as before. If there are more, it may take several trips to deliver it.”
“It’s okay, don’t worry.”
It’s less than a month before the Chinese New Year. During the month, everyone hopes to have more food at home.
"By the way, Lao Li, I brought you some things." After speaking, he opened the box and started to take out the meat.
Fifty pounds of pork, twenty pounds of beef, and two chickens, ducks and geese each.
Yes, Li Jiayi did not give Lao Li suet this time. With so much pork, there is a lot of fat, which is enough to refine oil.
Of course, it looks like it is given to Lao Li, but in fact half of it belongs to Lao Zhao. Li Jiayi does not need to say this.
In addition to these, there are also five pounds of sesame paste and five pounds of sesame salt.
"Xiao Li, okay, it's in my heart." Old Li said carelessly.
"Xiao Li is here?" Aunt Tian came out of the house.
“Yes, Aunt Tian.”
After saying hello, Li Jiayi turned his head to look at Lao Li, then turned to look at Aunt Tian, and then shook his head.
"What do you mean, kid?" Lao Li asked.
"It's not interesting?"
"What does it mean that it's not interesting?"
"You know what it means to put flowers on cow dung."
"Go ahead, you ."
After taking everything into the house, Li Jiayi took out his pocket watch and looked at the time and said, "Lao Li, just keep track of it. I have something else to do. I'll come back in the afternoon."
"What can happen to you kid now? I think you don't want to stay with me."
"Go aside, I really have something to do."
In fact, Li Jiayi is very busy now. I’m busy. After the school holidays, peanuts, melon seeds and beef jerky are sold all day long.
It’s still the same as before, the little black fat guy Guo Detie is guarding, and Li Jiayi just sends things there every day.
Because it was winter, he didn’t need to deliver food at noon. He could just bring it there when he went there in the morning and heat it up on the stove at noon to eat.
In addition to this, there is the black market. Nowadays, the demand for goods in the black market is becoming more and more frequent. Basically, goods are delivered every two days, and the quantity is much larger than before.
Of course, the delivery price has also increased a bit, but not by much.
Li Jiayi just follows the market. He will not raise the price himself. Every time, the black market takes the initiative to raise the price.
The main reason is that they know very well that a capable person like Li Jiayi must not offend or make enemies.
And Li Jiayi said that he had something to do, which was true, because he was going to meet Master Wu.
Yes, just meet up.
Li Jiayi received news from Liao Kai that Master Wu wanted to see him.
"Okay! If you have something to do, go and get busy."
"Yes!"
After coming out of Lao Li's house, Li Jiayi rushed to Master Wu's house.
When I arrived at Mr. Wu's house, I discovered that Mr. Wu was not alone in the house, but there were more than a dozen people.
These people are about the same age as Mr. Wu, even if they are older, they are not a few years older.
In the words of later generations, these dozen people are all big guys.
This can be seen from their clothes.
"Master Wu, I wonder why you asked me to come here?"
Ordinarily, Mr. Wu’s family is not short of food now! He just delivered a lot of food half a month ago.
"Xiao Li, these are my friends who are relatively close to me. They also want to exchange some grain and meat from you. You see..."
"No problem! But It’s the same old rule, I don’t want money, just big and small yellow croakers and antiques.”
"No problem, and as long as I am here, no one will dare to fool you with fakes."
Li Jia spread his hands and said: "I don't care, if there are fakes, they will be cut off directly Just trade, there is no shortage of these things in the imperial capital.”
Hearing what Li Jiayi said, Mr. Wu nodded and said: "That's true."
"Let's do it, Mr. Wu, count the number, and I will send it to you later."
>"Okay."
"By the way, Mr. Wu, do you want to deliver it during the day or at night?" Li Jiayi asked.
PS: Love is always in love across thousands of rivers and mountains, can you give me a monthly pass? Thanks!
