Chapter 312 Future Considerations
To be exact, he hasn't come back since he was beaten for the second time.
Liao Kai paid more attention to Hai Dafu and learned some news. In other words, no one in the compound except him and Liao Kai knew that Hai Dafu was moving out.
"No matter what, I still have to thank you. If Uncle Niu has any instructions in the future, just tell me."
"Really?"
"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."
"Then help me get some meat!"
"Uncle Niu, it's not a big deal if you just ask for meat."
"I want a lot, to tell you the truth! My nephew is getting married and needs some meat, but as you know, there is no place to buy this meat."
"It's okay, Uncle Niu, just put it on me. Just tell me the number and when you want it."
"Plus one! I don't know how much it will cost. I have to ask some of the chefs who prepare the banquet."
"Uncle Niu! Isn't this chef ready? Let's do it! Later, you can ask how many people you want to invite and how many dishes per table, and then ask Uncle Liao to tell you how many are needed."
"Oops! Why did I forget Master Liao." Officer Niu quickly stood up and walked to Liao Kai and said.
If others don't know, how can Director Niu not know that Liao Kai is the great master?
To be honest, if Li Jiayi hadn't said it, he wouldn't have dared to invite her. It was like saying that Li Jiayi gave him a step down.
Liao Kai is now a Level 2 chef! If it hadn't been for three difficult years, he would probably have passed Level 1 by now.
"Uncle Liao, how are you? Is it okay?" Li Jiayi turned around and asked.
"No problem! But I have to make it to Sunday, and I have to go to work at other times." Liao Kai said.
"Hey, Master Liao, don't worry, it's Sunday, next Sunday."
"That's no problem."
"Okay, okay, great, don't worry, Master Liao, I will never treat you badly."
Nowadays, it costs money to go out and cook a table for others, and the price varies depending on the chef.
For people like Liao Kai, if you go out to cook a meal, it costs at least five yuan to start. If you bring two more apprentices, you will have to pay more.
Of course, there aren’t that many apprentices, and each one costs about one to two yuan, depending on the master’s family.
If the host is particularly satisfied, he may give more. In fact, Li Jiayi is also helping Liao Kai.
If Liao Kai goes out to make banquets for others in the future, his monthly income will be quite a lot.
Money is not the main thing, the main thing is connections. With his reputation, it is estimated that some people with status will also ask him to cook.
This is good for Liao Kai, especially in the future.
"It's okay, it's just a meal, but I may have to take two apprentices by then."
"It should be, it should be, there are so many dishes that you can't keep busy alone, right?"
"Well! Then go back and ask how many tables you want to make and how many dishes per table, and then I will prepare the dishes."
"Okay, I'll ask you when I get off work tomorrow morning, and then I'll find you when I get to work."
"Yeah!"
After the matter was finished, Li Jiayi and Liao Kai came out of the street office.
"Jiayi, why did you ask me to serve as a banquet?" Liao Kai asked after coming out.
"Uncle Liao, you will not only do this banquet, but also many times in the future. Don't ask for details. I won't cheat you anyway."
"Of course I know this, I just don't understand it."
"Uncle Liao, what a network!"
"Connections?"
Liao Kai was not stupid, he was even very smart. As soon as Li Jia finished talking about connections, he understood what was going on.
"I understand plus one, don't worry, if anyone comes to me to cook in the future, I will agree as long as I have time."
"Well! You can take care of this yourself, but you can't lose your job, for example, take time off to cook for others."
"Don't worry! I understand this. I only accept Sunday seats and nothing else."
"That's right."
The two people quickly returned to the courtyard, said goodbye, and went home.
When Li Jiayi returned home, his family was sitting at the Eight Immortals table eating watermelon.
"Come and add one, come and eat watermelon."
"Didn't you send some to Uncle Liao's family?"
"I gave it away, otherwise I wouldn't be able to finish it at all." The second sister said.
Indeed, this watermelon is a bit big. If they were just eating it as a family, they would eat more than half of it at most.
"By the way, son, what were you doing with your Uncle Liao just now?"
"Go to the street to do it."
"Go to the street to do it?"
"Well! It's like this. Uncle Liao is now married and has children, but he only lives in one house. No, he just wants to find a bigger one to rent."
Anyway, Officer Niu has already agreed, so it doesn’t matter even if he says it out now.
"Did you find it?"
"Found it."
"Ah! Are Uncle Liao and Auntie going to move away?" asked the second sister, a foodie.
Because if Liao Kai moves away, it will not be so easy to eat the food cooked by Liao Kai in the future.
"There is no need to move, we are still in this courtyard." Li Jiayi said.
"Son, where is the house in this courtyard?" Li Aimin asked.
"Yes! It is estimated that Hai Dafu will move out in a few days, and there will be a house by then." "Hai Dafu has moved out, why should he move out?" Ye Xin asked without knowing why.
Li Aimin didn't ask anything, just glanced at Li Jiayi, because he seemed to understand what was going on.
"Who knows this! If someone wants to move away, we can't help it!" Li Jiayi said with a shrug.
Hearing what he said, Li Aimin curled his lips and thought: If you can't control it, why people move away is not because of you.
Of course, he won't say this out loud. As long as he knows it, it's better not to say it out loud.
"That's right." Ye Xin nodded.
"That's great. It's good that Uncle Liao is still here. If you want to eat delicious food in the future, let Uncle Liao come over and cook a meal."
After eating the watermelon, Li Jiayi went upstairs, locked the door from the inside, and entered the space directly.
It was the same daily routine, and then I took a shower and rested.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. After dinner that morning, Li Jiayi drove a tricycle to the military compound.
A few days have passed, and Lao Li should have asked almost all the questions. He came here today to get the results.
"Lao Li, Lao Li." Li Jiayi started shouting before he drove the tricycle into Lao Li's courtyard.
"What's your name, brat? I'm not deaf."
Li Jiayi scratched his head and said, "Aren't I just checking to see if you are at home?"
"It's nothing. Where can I go if I'm not at home?"
"Okay!"
As soon as Li Jia got off the tricycle, he grabbed Lao Li's shoulders and walked into the house.
"You kid, don't be too big or too young." Lao Li said when he saw Li Jiayi pulling his shoulders.
Unfortunately, it was of no use, because Li Jiayi wouldn't let go at all, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
When they came into the room, the two of them sat down on the sofa. Li Jiayi asked: "Lao Li, how are you? Have you asked Aunt Chen?"
"I asked, but she didn't seem to be looking for it."
"Ah! Isn't it?"
"But things have taken a turn for the better. Under your Aunt Tian's persuasion, she agreed to meet before we talk."
"I said, Lao Li, can you please stop breathing heavily when you speak in the future?"
"You kid, why am I gasping for breath? Didn't I say I passed by?"
"You don't know a thing about Chinese characters. What did you say about your experience? Just tell me the result."
"You deserve a beating, right? Who said I can't read?"
Li Jiayi curled his lips and asked: "How many days have you been to school?"
"Go, go, go, you can't read without going to school!"
"Okay, even if you know each other."
"What do you mean, forget it! I already know you."
"Okay, I understand, you know the words, let's not talk about this now, let's talk about when we will meet!"
"How about this Sunday? It's noon this Sunday. I don't have to work that day."
"Okay, where will we meet?" Li Jiayi asked.
Lao Li thought for a while and said: "This is the first time we meet, whether it is at the man's house or the woman's house. Which place do you think is better?"
Li Jiayi scratched his head and said: "At this time, it's pointless to go to a restaurant, because the restaurants now don't even have meat. Lao Li, do you think this will work? It's your place."
"What is this thing, here with me?"
"Yes! You are considered the introducer on the woman's side, and I am the introducer on the man's side, but I am young! You can't come to my house!"
"You kid, okay, just stay at my house. I just have nothing to do that day. I'll ask your Aunt Tian and Ma Zhang to cook something delicious."
"Lao Li, if you want to eat delicious food, I can bring someone to cook."
"Bring someone to cook?"
"That's right! The highest-ranking chef in the First Woolen Mill has a second-level chef certificate, but his craftsmanship is definitely first-level."
Lao Li looked at Li Jiayi and asked, "Don't lie to me, kid. Do you know what a first-class chef is?"
Li Jiayi patted Lao Li on the shoulder and said: "You are asking me this question. Do I still know this?"
"Okay, you bring the person here, but if it's not as powerful as you say, let's see how I deal with you."
Li Jiayi curled his lips. He had heard this saying eighty times if not a hundred times, and every time he just said it.
"Don't worry, I won't disappoint you. By the way, don't let Zhang Ma and Aunt Tian prepare it that day. I will prepare all the meat and vegetables that are needed."
For the sake of his master, Li Jiayi also spent a lot of money. Not only did he have to prepare everything, but he also contributed his dedicated chef.
"You kid, you should have prepared these. After all, this is your master's business."
"Yes! I'm ready."
Li Jiayi chatted with Lao Li for a while, confirmed some things and left.
Then he went straight to Master's house. They had already agreed, but Master didn't know yet! Not to mention preparation.
"Dong dong dong."
When he arrived at Master's house, the door was closed, so Li Jiayi stopped knocking the door knocker and started smashing it.
The door opened quickly. Senior sister opened the door. When she saw it was him, she asked: "Junior brother, were you chased by a dog?"
