Chapter 314: Meeting and exchanging blows (10,000-word chapter)
"Come to Xiaoli and try Master Nan's craftsmanship."
"Okay, eat them all."
Li Jiayi is not a solitary eater! Especially delicious food, I want to share it with everyone.
To be honest, the ingredients used in Nanyi's cooking are very ordinary, but the taste is really good.
Even if it is not as good as Liao Kai and He Yuzhu, it is not far behind. Don't forget, Nanyi only uses the most common ingredients.
The taste of the two meat dishes is slightly better. To be honest, even Liao Kai and He Yuzhu can't make the most common ingredients like this.
Li Jiayi served himself a small bowl of wild vegetable soup, took a sip, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"It tastes good, Master Nan, your cooking skills are good."
It was indeed delicious. Even in his previous life, he had never tasted such delicious vegetable soup, let alone one made with wild vegetables.
"Thank you!"
It was delicious. Li Jiayi didn't eat much because he ate a bit too much at lunch, but these meals were good food for Factory Director Liu and Nan Yi!
As for how long it has been since the machine repair shop had eaten meat, not to mention Factory Director Liu, even the chef Nan Yi has probably forgotten it.
"Xiao Li, why don't you eat?" Seeing that Li Jiayi didn't eat much, Factory Director Liu asked quickly.
"Director Liu, keep eating and don't worry about me. I'm not too hungry yet."
"Xiao Li, is the food not to your liking?" Factory Director Liu asked.
"No, no, no, Director Liu, don't get me wrong. To be honest, this meal is really good, but I really can't eat it. Mainly because I ate too much at noon, and now I eat earlier." Li Jiayi He rubbed his stomach and said with a wry smile.
"So that's it!"
Factory Director Liu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a matter of food.
"That Xiao Li! Can I discuss something with you?" Director Liu put down his chopsticks and said.
"You said."
"That's it. Can you help our factory provide meat in the future? It doesn't need to be much, just one thousand catties in half a month."
"Of course there is no problem with this, but I want to make one thing clear first. The price of meat will get lower and lower, and we will set the price according to the market price."
"Okay, okay, of course there is no problem with this."
Meat on the black market now costs ten yuan a pound, which is much cheaper than before.
But this is not a low price. After a while, after everyone's body has recovered, the price of meat may drop.
Li Jiayi took out a box of special supplies that he had opened before from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Director Liu.
Factory Manager Liu quickly picked it up, looking like he was picking up a treasure.
Then Li Jiayi gave Nanyi another one.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
I was going to put it in my pocket, but seeing that Liu Feng looked like a treasure, he threw the rest away and said, "I don't smoke, I'll give you the rest!"
"Ah! How embarrassing is this."
He said these words, but his hands were not slow at all! He quickly picked up the cigarette and put it in his pocket.
This thing is very precious to others, but to Li Jiayi, it is just that.
Because there are a lot of these special cigarettes in his space! If a person were allowed to smoke, he would probably not be able to finish it in ten lifetimes.
You must know that he alone has provided for the entire military compound for several years!
Not only were the cigarette coupons for the military compound during the three difficult years, but also many cigarette coupons for the military compound before, which he had replaced with cigarettes and placed in the space.
At this time Li Jiayi turned around and looked at Nan Yi and asked: "Master Nan, where do you live?"
"Me? I live next to our factory."
"So you live outside the city."
"Yes, it's hard to find a house in the city. There are only some vacant houses outside the city, so I live here."
"That's it!"
At this time Liu Feng asked: "Xiao Li, what are you..."
"It's nothing, I'm just asking. To be honest, I like the food cooked by Master Nan very much. I said that if it's close, I'd ask Master Nan to help me cook a few meals. Since it's far away, forget it."
< br>
"So that's it! Where do you live, Xiao Li?"
"Me! I live over there in Ping Anli, and there are people from your factory living in our courtyard."
"What, there are people from our factory living in your hospital?" Liu Feng asked in disbelief.
When he thought about it, people like Li Jiayi, even if they didn't live in a building, at least lived in a single-family courtyard!
"Yes, I live in the east courtyard of No. 7 courtyard in Pinganli, and I also have a west courtyard of No. 5 courtyard, but no one lives there."
"Uh!" Liu Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard this and was immediately speechless.
Living in a cross-courtyard is equivalent to living in a single courtyard! There is also an unoccupied courtyard.
Although Liu Feng didn't live there in Pingan, he still knew about the courtyard there.
Basically, a courtyard has three main rooms and two side rooms, and the area of a large quadrangle is quite large, definitely not smaller than some first-in-compartment courtyards.
Of course, this is talking about the area, not the number of houses. If we talk about houses, there are more courtyard houses.
However, there are many houses, which means that the yard is relatively small, which is really not as comfortable as living across the yard.
"Then your home is quite spacious!"
"It's okay!"
Although normally there are three main rooms and two side rooms across the courtyard, this is not the case in the house of Li Jia's family!
Their main house now has two floors! It is equivalent to six main rooms and two side rooms.
After eating, Li Jiayi went home directly from the machine repair shop because it was already off work at this time.
When Li Jiayi arrived home, Ye Xin and Li Aimin had also returned.
"Hey, Mom, hasn't my eldest brother come back yet?"
"Not yet, and I don't know what's going on with the child these days. He only comes back when he's about to eat."
"Did he go back to his residence first? Then he came back for dinner." Li Jiayi asked.
"I don't know either. I'll ask him when he comes back later."
Hearing what his mother said, Li Jiayi quickly said: "Mom, I advise you not to ask."
"Why?" Ye Xin asked doubtfully.
"Mom, do you think my eldest brother is in love?"
"Ah! No way! Besides, who is he talking to? Haven't you heard of it?"
"Mom, my eldest brother is already eighteen. Even falling in love is normal. You'd better leave it alone for now. I'll ask about it later."
"Okay, then I won't care about it for now. I'll wait until you find out more about it. If your uncle and aunt are not here, I will definitely help them check it."
Li Jiayi couldn't do anything about his mother's worry, but he knew that his mother was doing this for his elder brother's benefit.
Li Aimin was drinking tea in the main room. When he heard the conversation between Li Jiayi and Ye Xin, he frowned and thought about whom Li Chengqian was closer to in the factory.
But after much deliberation, I couldn't figure out why.
Ye Xin glanced at Li Jiaqi, who was helping next to him, and asked, "Do you know what your eldest brother is doing during this time?"
"Mom, I'm at home every day, how could I possibly know."
"That's right."
Half an hour later, the food was ready, and just at this time the eldest brother came in from outside.
"Brother, you came back at the right time! Just when the food is ready, you come back." Li Jiayi asked tentatively.
"Ah! I'll go back to Courtyard No. 15 first."
"Oh! That's it!" Li Jia nodded and said nothing more.
He was just testing it out. Since he didn't test it out, he could only ask what was going on.
In the No. 1 Woolen Mill, there were no secrets for Li Jiayi. If he went back and asked someone, he would know what was going on.
"Cheng Qian, hurry up and wash your hands and eat."
"Okay aunt."
The dinner was quite sumptuous. Li Jiayi didn't take any steamed buns. He put down his chopsticks after taking a few bites of the food.
"Son, what's going on? Is today's meal not to your liking?" Ye Xin asked.
"No, Mom, I just ate it."
"Have you eaten?"
"Yeah! Director Liu Feng and Liu of the machine repair factory treated me to food in their factory cafeteria, and asked their factory's chef, Chef Nan, to cook it."
"Son, why did Director Liu of the machine repair shop treat you to dinner?" Li Aimin asked.
Li Jiayi said nonchalantly: "What's wrong with inviting me to dinner? If someone wants to invite me to dinner, I won't necessarily go!"
"Ugh! You brat."
"Actually, I heard that Chef Nan Yinan from their factory cooks very delicious food and can make ordinary things into delicious delicacies, so I went to try it."
"It's true! Can ordinary food be so delicious?" Li Aimin didn't believe it.
"Dad, don't tell me, this is true. I saw it today." Li Jiayi said seriously.
"Is it better than your Uncle Liao's cooking?" Ye Xin asked at this time.
Li Jia thought for a while and said: "If he uses good ingredients, he is a little worse than Uncle Liao, but if he uses ordinary ingredients, I guess Uncle Liao can't compare with him."
"That's it! That's amazing. Being able to make the most ordinary things taste so delicious is much more difficult than making good things delicious."
"Dad, I can't say that. I can only say that everyone is good at different things. This Nanyi is good at local dishes and home-cooked dishes."
"That's right, your Uncle Liao is good at Manchu and Han banquets and palace dishes."
"Yeah! And Sister Mei Lian's partner, He Yuzhu, is good at Tan's cuisine and Sichuan cuisine."
"By the way, parents, speaking of which, let me ask, when will the matter between Sister Mei Lian and that He Yuzhu be settled?"
During this period, Li Jia was running outside every day, so he didn't know the subsequent development.
"It seems to be coming soon. It will be time to pay the bride price in a few days."
Li Jiayi scratched his head and said: "This is pretty fast."
"Yes! I heard from Sister Meilian that those who caused mischief behind the scenes have been punished."
What's the meaning? Isn't it just Yi Zhonghai? Why did you get a capital? This capital can represent not one person.
But for Li Jiayi, these don't matter, and then he can make another plan.
After finishing the meal, Li Chengqian stood up and said, "Uncle, aunt, I'm going back first."
"Wait." Ye Xin quickly called him and said, "Wait until you finish eating the watermelon before going back."
When he heard about eating watermelon, Li Chengqian swallowed his saliva, nodded and said, "Okay, Auntie."
Ye Xin and Li Jiaqi cleared the table, and the second sister brought the watermelon over.
As soon as Li Jia picked up the watermelon knife, he cut the watermelon in three strokes, five divided by two, then picked up one piece and handed it to the second sister and said: "Send it to Uncle Liao."
"Yeah!" The second sister nodded, picked up the watermelon and went out.
Give Liao Kai a quarter, and the rest is enough for their family to eat, and they may not even be able to finish it.
After finishing the watermelon, Li Chengqian went back to Courtyard No. 15.
Just as Li Chengqian left, Liao Kai walked in from outside.
"Xiao Kai is here, come and eat watermelon." Li Aimin shouted.
Even though it was three-quarters of the food, Li Jiayi and his family still didn't finish it.
"No need, Brother Li, I've eaten." Liao Kai said, rubbing his stomach.
At first glance, it seems that there is no less to eat.
"Then why did you come here?" Li Aimin asked.
"I want to talk to Jiayi about something." Liao Kai smiled and nuzzled at Li Jiayi.
"Uncle Liao, what's the matter?" Li Jiayi asked.
Liao Kai thought for a while and realized that it had been decided anyway, so there was no need to hide it. He said, "It's just about the house. Hai Dafu has moved out today."
"Ah! Already moved? So fast?" Li Jiayi asked in surprise.
"Yeah!"
"Okay, in that case, let's go to the street office now to save us a long night and a lot of dreams."
"Okay."
"Mom and Dad, Uncle Liao and I will go to the street office and we'll be back in a while."
"Go, go!" Li Aimin waved his hand and said.
"Let's go, Uncle Liao."
"Well!" Liao Kai nodded, turned around and said, "Brother Li, sister-in-law, let's go first."
"Let's go."
The street office was not far away, so Li Jiayi did not drive a tricycle, but Liao Kai rode a bicycle.
Outside the gate, Liao Kai patted the back seat of his bicycle and said, "Come on!"
"Okay!"
Li Jiayi had not sat on the back seat of a bicycle for a long time, and the back seat of Liao Kai's bicycle was even longer. Liao Kai had sat on the back seat several times when he first bought the bicycle.
Five or six minutes later, two people came to the subdistrict office, because it was not working time and they didn't know who was on duty.
"Uncle, who is on duty today?" Li Jiayi asked as he handed over a cigarette.
"Oh! Director Xu is on duty today."
"Okay, let's go in." Li Jiayi said.
"Go in!" the gatekeeper said with a smile.
If it were someone else, it would definitely not be so smooth, and they would at least have to register, but it doesn't exist here at all in Li Jiayi's case.
"Dong dong dong." Arriving at the door of Director Xu's office, Li Jiayi went up and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
As soon as Li Jia opened the door, he walked in and shouted: "Aunt Xu, are you busy?"
"Why are you here?"
"Let's see you!" Li Jia opened all the doors and walked in.
Liao Kai also followed into the office.
Seeing Liao Kai, Director Xu knew what was going on and said, "Is it about the house?"
"Yes, Aunt Xu, did Director Niu tell you?" Li Jiayi asked quickly.
"Of course, if you rent a house directly without going through the factory, you have to go through me."
"So that's it! Then look..."
Director Xu opened the drawer, took out a stack of documents and said, "Come here, sign, and pay the rent."
"Uncle Liao, sign quickly!" Li Jiayi pushed Liao Kai.
"Oh! Okay, thank you, Director Xu."
"Thank you, everyone rents the house."
Liao Kai went over to sign his name and paid one year's rent. Director Xu issued an invoice to him.
In other words, from now on, those two houses belong to Liao Kai. As long as Liao Kai does not cancel the lease, he can keep renting these houses.
After it is re-opened, you can buy it at a very low price.
With these three houses, even if Liao Kai doesn't do well in the future, he can still live a well-off life.
Let’s not talk about being rich and wealthy! At least they have enough food and clothing.
"Aunt Xu, let's leave first and come back to see you later when we have time."
"Okay, let's go."
"Hey!"
After leaving the office, Liao Kai let out a long breath, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"Plus one! Thank you, Uncle Liao."
"Uncle Liao, it's wrong for you to be polite to me!"
"Hahaha, yes, yes, no need to be polite."
Time flew by, and it was Sunday in a blink of an eye. Li Jiayi got up early in the morning.
Then he started to get busy. Just after breakfast, he pulled Liao Kai out of the house and went straight to the military compound.
Yes, he wanted to send Liao Kai and the ingredients there first, and then pick up the master.
"Jiayi, is this the military compound?" Liao Kai asked when he came to the entrance of the military compound and looked at the imposing gate.
"That's right! It's not like you haven't seen it before."
How could people living in the imperial capital, especially in this era, have never seen the military compound.
Because there are many military compounds in this imperial capital, but the levels are just different.
“I’ve seen it before, but it’s not so grand, and I’ve never been in it.”
"Let's go in now." After speaking, Li Jia drove the tricycle and walked inside.
The guard standing guard now was very familiar with Li Jiayi. When he saw it was him, he pretended not to see him.
"Jiayi, why didn't they stop you?" Liao Kai asked in surprise.
Because he saw that when others came in, except for people in military uniforms, everyone would stop them.
"Because I almost live here, and those people who stopped me don't live here."
Li Jiayi's words are not wrong. Although he does not live here, he comes here too many times.
Of course, the most important thing is that during the three difficult years, he sent food and meat here a lot!
For this alone, these guards were particularly grateful to him! Besides, it's not like he's trespassing.
So how could it be possible to stop him.
"That's it!"
Soon Li Jia drove a tricycle into Lao Li's yard.
Today, Lao Li's family is quite happy. Not only Aunt Tian is here, but also Li Jian and Li Kang.
"Jiayi is here." Aunt Tian asked with a smile.
"Yes, Auntie." Li Jiayi smiled and nodded.
"Hey, Li Jian, are you here too?"
Li Jian joined the army last year and rarely comes back. I don't know why he came back today.
"I have a rest today, so I'll come back and take a look."
Hearing what he said, Li Jiayi had to sigh, the children of this military family were just different.
If it were someone else, it was just Sunday and it would be impossible for him to go out to the army, but he could actually go home.
This is the difference!
"Li Kang!" Li Jiayi patted Li Kang on the shoulder.
"Oh, by the way, Aunt Tian, let me introduce to you. This is Liao Kai, who is also today's chef."
"Hello Liao Kai!"
"Hello, hello! Just call me Xiao Liao."
"Uncle Liao, this is Aunt Tian. You can just call me Sister Tian."
"Okay."
"You brat, why are you here so early today?" Lao Li came out of the house at this time.
"I'm talking about Lao Li, aren't you asking questions knowingly?" Li Jiayi gave Lao Li a roll of his eyes.
Lao Li did not answer him anymore, but looked at Liao Kai and asked: "Is this the chef you are talking about?" "Hello, chief! My name is Liao Kai, you can just call me Xiao Liao."
"Okay, okay, Xiao Liao! I'll leave this lunch to you today."
"Yes, sir, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you."
"Okay." Lao Li nodded, turned around and said, "Mother Zhang, take Xiao Liao to the kitchen to have a look."
"Okay."
"Chief, wait a moment, the ingredients haven't been picked up yet."
"Oh! Yes, yes, this brat is preparing the ingredients today."
Li Jiayi prepared a lot of ingredients today, including chicken, fish, meat and eggs, and there was plenty of them.
Of course, in addition to these, there are all kinds of vegetables, and there are also some that are simply not available outside now.
After getting the ingredients, Li Jiayi shouted: "Li Kang, come here and move the watermelon."
"Here we come." Li Kang's eyes lit up when he heard the watermelon was being moved, and he ran over excitedly.
He knew that these watermelons brought by Li Jia could not be bought outside.
Not only is it delicious, but it is also very sweet. Those watermelons bought outside are not sweet at all. They are meaty and not delicious at all.
After unloading everything in the car, Li Jiayi came to the house and asked: "Old Li, when will Aunt Chen come over?"
"Don't ask me about this, ask your Aunt Tian."
Hearing what Lao Li said, Li Jiayi turned his head and looked at Aunt Tian.
"Don't worry! I'll be here soon."
"Okay, in that case, I will go pick up my master."
"Okay, by the way, your master also has a daughter, right?" Aunt Tian asked.
"Yes, I'm in college now. I'll be my junior year when school starts again."
"In that case, let's call them together."
"Ah! Aunt Tian, isn't this good! Are you calling everyone here when we meet for the first time?" Li Jiayi scratched his head.
"What's wrong? Besides, your Aunt Chen's daughter will also come over."
"That's it! Okay, let's call them together."
"Yeah!"
Then Li Jiayi came to the kitchen again, said hello to Liao Kai, and then left in a tricycle.
Ten minutes later, Li Jiayi parked his tricycle in front of Master's house.
Then he went over and pushed the door open. Unexpectedly, there was no insertion inside. He probably knew he was coming and left the door open specially.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw my master and senior sister.
"Ouch! Master, why do you look like a bridegroom?" Seeing the unwilling master, Li Jiayi teased.
"Get out of here and pull away."
Li Jia touched his nose, walked up to his senior sister and asked, "Did you dress her up?"
"Yes! How about it? It looks good, doesn't it."
"Yes." Li Jia nodded.
Li Jiayi circled around the master, touched his chin and said, "Everything else is fine, but this face is a bit ugly."
The face Li Jiayi said was a bit ugly. He was not talking about his appearance, but his expression.
As for his appearance, to be honest, at a glance, Li Jia definitely meets the standard of a handsome old man.
"You brat, are you looking for a slap in the face?"
"Look, why are you so anxious? I want to tell you that you can do this now, but you can't do this again after you meet someone."
"That's right, Dad, you can do whatever you want at home, but you can't do this outside."
Li Shugen's face flushed with anger and he shouted: "I'll let you two teach me a lesson."
"Hey! I'm such a bad-tempered person. I said, Master, you're almost done. I know, you don't know how happy you are right now!"
Li Wanyu pulled Li Jiayi's sleeve and asked: "Really? My father is very happy?"
"Of course, who wouldn't be happy to have a wife! The old man is just pretending."
"Pretending? Pretending for what?"
"Uh! It's nothing, just pretending."
"Oh! That's it! It's okay, just let him pretend, and he won't pretend anymore."
Li Jiayi nodded quickly and said: "That's right, Senior Sister, he will stop pretending when he gets a wife."
"Yeah!"
Li Jiayi took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and said, "Sister, it's almost time, let's go!"
"Wait."
"What's wrong?" Li Jia turned his head and asked doubtfully.
"Should I go too?" Li Wanyu asked, pointing to her nose.
"Of course I want to go! You represent the family."
"Uh, this..."
"Okay, senior sister, I'm afraid if you don't go, I won't be able to get this old man over."
Li Jiayi knew very well that the reason why Li Shugen agreed was entirely because of his senior sister.
He was really afraid that if his senior sister didn't go, the old man would run away halfway, and then the fun would be great.
"Okay! I'm going to change clothes."
"Yeah!"
The senior sister changed clothes very quickly, and she didn't want to put on makeup now. She just changed clothes quickly, and came out of the room in less than ten minutes.
I changed my skirt into a shirt and trousers, and not to mention, I felt heroic.
"Let's go."
"Yeah!"
Li Wanyu pulled the old man up from the chair and said, "Dad, it's already this time, just accept it!"
"That's right! Master, please marry me a wife as soon as possible. Next time I come to see you, I can stay for a meal!"
Hearing Li Jiayi's words, Li Shugen was furious and asked: "Smelly boy, what do you mean? Are you saying that my cooking is not delicious?"
Li Jia rolled his eyes at him and said, "You don't know whether it tastes good or not?"
"You..."
"Okay, Master, now is not the time to talk about this. Let's leave quickly! Don't let people wait for us."
"Yes, yes." Senior sister nodded in agreement.
Li Shugen is about to cry but has no tears now! Meeting such a daughter and disciple, he felt very miserable.
"Master! What's your expression! Why do you look so bitter and resentful?"
"What do you think, brat?"
"You don't know what I know, and I don't know anything anymore, but I know that if you have a hard life, you can't blame the landlord, let alone the apprentice!"
"What nonsense are you talking about all day long, you brat?"
Li Jia spread his hands and said, "I'm not talking nonsense! If you don't believe me, ask your senior sister."
"Yeah!"
Li Wanyu now completely listens to Li Jiayi. No matter what he says, Li Wanyu says it is right.
Even if Li Jia said something red and turned it into yellow, she would not refute.
When they arrived outside the gate, the senior sister turned around and locked the gate, then pulled Li Shugen onto the tricycle.
As soon as Li Jia got on the tricycle, he started the tricycle and drove towards the military compound.
In order to give Li Shugen some buffering time, Li Jia didn't drive very fast. The originally ten-minute journey took about twenty minutes.
But no matter how slowly you drive, there will still be time! No, we are here at the military compound.
Li Jiayi drove in without stopping.
"It's okay, junior brother, you won't be inspected when entering the compound." Li Wanyu said.
"What to check? I don't have anything to check here." Li Jiayi shrugged and said.
"Okay!"
When we arrived at Lao Li's house, Lao Li had already come out of the house.
If Li Jiayi comes, it doesn't matter whether he can get out or not, but this person is Li Jiayi's master.
Even if he had to come out, because no matter where he was, Li Shugen and he were equal.
"Oh, brother Li is here, come in quickly." Lao Li came up and took Li Shugen's hand and said.
"Okay, okay." Li Shugen's face finally cleared up.
"Brother Li, is it okay if I call you this?"
"Of course."
"Hahaha, that's good."
When they entered the house from the outside, the two of them were already called brother, elder and brother.
As soon as Li Jia brought his senior sister to the house, he saw that Aunt Chen was already here. He quickly pulled his senior sister over and shouted: "Hello, Aunt Chen."
"Hello plus one."
"Aunt Chen, this is my master's daughter Li Wanyu."
"Hello Aunt Chen." Li Wanyu also shouted quickly.
"Okay, Wanyu, please sit down quickly."
"Okay."
"Come on, senior sister, this is Aunt Tian, the hostess here."
"Hello, Aunt Tian."
"Hello Wanyu, this child is really good-looking." Aunt Tian looked at Li Wanyu and said.
"No way." Li Wanyu said embarrassedly.
"Good-looking means good-looking, plus one, isn't your senior sister good-looking?"
Li Jiayi pretended to be confused and looked at his senior sister and said: "Aunt Tian, I am still a child."
"Uh! Hahaha, yes, yes, I almost forgot that you are still a child." Aunt Tian laughed.
Li Jiayi is usually the same old or young, and he is very experienced in talking and doing things, making Aunt Tian forget that he is only fourteen years old.
If not that Li Jiayi is good at pretending, he is still fourteen years old, so it’s not like he is so young!
If it weren't for this face, who wouldn't say he is an adult? An adult who has not grown taller.
But in fact, he was really fourteen years old in this life.
"Aunt Tian, Aunt Chen, senior sister, you guys chat, I'll go to the kitchen to see how Uncle Liao's rice is doing."
"Okay, let's go! Not to mention, the chef you called over is really good at cooking."
"That's right, he is a certified second-level chef. If it hadn't been for three years of difficult times, he would be at least a first-level chef now."
It's not that these three difficult years have delayed Liao Kai's cooking skills, but that there was no chef skills assessment during these three difficult years.
So Liao Kai is still Level 2 now, and it is estimated that he will be able to recover in a while. Maybe Liao Kai will be a Level 1 chef by then.
Of course, it’s best to take as many college entrance examinations as you can now, because after six or six years, all skill assessments will stop.
Not to mention chef skills, even fitters and welders will cease until the end of the ten-year period.
"So powerful?" Aunt Tian asked in surprise.
It seems that Lao Li did not tell her about Liao Kai's chef level.
"Yes."
"Okay, you go!"
"Okay!"
When Li Jia came to the kitchen, he saw Zhang Ma standing at the door of the kitchen looking in.
"Mother Zhang, what are you looking at?" Li Jiayi asked.
"Watch Master Liao cooking!" Zhang Ma said.
"Why don't you go in and take a look?" Li Jiayi asked.
"Master Liao won't let you in."
As soon as Li Jia took a look inside and found that Li Jian and Li Kang were both lighting a fire inside, he understood what was going on.
"Mama Zhang, did you help?"
"Well! You can't just watch when you go in!"
Li Jiayi shook his head. Liao Kai's cooking was different from others. Others wanted to have a helper, but he didn't need it.
Especially for the more important banquets, he does it all by himself.
If someone helped, it would disrupt his rhythm, so he had to let Zhang Ma in.
"Mama Zhang! If you want to learn, just look and don't talk when you go in. When Uncle Liao finishes, you can ask if you don't understand."
"Oh!"
Li Jiayi entered the kitchen and asked: "Uncle Liao, how are you?"
"It's still early. Except for some things that take time, I haven't done anything yet. I'm preparing."
"Then let Zhang Ma come in and take a look, and learn from you by the way. Don't worry, I have already told her to not move at all."
"Okay, come in!"
"Hey!" Zhang Ma agreed and ran in quickly.
"Li Jian and Li Kang, why are you two so honest today! Are you here to light a fire?"
Li Jian didn't say anything. After all, he was older and he was still a people's soldier.
But Li Kang was different. He gave Li Jiayi a roll of his eyes and said: "My brother and I don't light the fire, who will! Otherwise, you will."
"You can pull me down! I am a guest. Who do you think asked the guests to light the fire?"
Li Kang curled his lips and said: "You are a guest when you are working. I have never seen you treating yourself as a guest, right?"
"Usually is normal, but today is different from the past. Do you understand if I tell you this?"
"I understand. Anyway, it's all on your side."
Li Kang knows this very well. Now that he has to work, he becomes a guest. When it is expected that there will be benefits soon, he will immediately become a member of the family.
Because of this, he has suffered a lot in recent years, including his brother Li Jian.
When it comes to this, Li Jian is much smarter than Li Kang. You didn't even look at him or say anything.
"Li Kang, you are full of swear words. I will ask Aunt Tian to deal with you soon."
"Ugh!"
To say who Li Kang is most afraid of, it is definitely not Lao Li, but Aunt Tian.
Also, Aunt Tian doesn't like to hear people say bad words. Even Lao Li used to say "I", but now he has changed a lot.
Sometimes I can't say more than a few words in a day. Compared with before, it is definitely more than 99% less.
"You knew how to complain." Li Kang suppressed his face and turned red.
"I can't help it. If you have a complaint, let me sue you! If not, I have nowhere to sue even if I want to." Li Jiayi shrugged.
"I said Jiayi, you are so bad, look at how you bullied others." Liao Kai said at this time.
"It's okay, Uncle Liao, this is a common occurrence." Li Jiayi said nonchalantly.
"Is that Li Kang?" Liao Kai asked.
"Yeah!" Liao Kai nodded.
"Does Jiayi often bully you like this?"
Li Kang glanced at Li Jiayi and finally nodded.
"It's okay! I'll go home and file a lawsuit against him later, and let his mother take care of him."
"Really?" Li Kang got excited when he heard that someone was taking care of Li Jiayi.
"Really."
"Okay."
Li Jiayi curled his lips and said to Li Kang: "Aren't you afraid that I will be punished and then come to bully you again?"
"Tch, at worst if I don't go home during the day, you can still stay at my house all day long?"
"Uh!" Li Jia was stunned for a moment and touched his nose.
It’s true! This kid ran away for the whole day. It could be said that he would not come back until dark, so there was really no way to bully him.
As for where this kid went, he knew without even thinking about it, it must be at Lao Zhao's house!
It's just that Li Jiayi doesn't like going to Lao Zhao's house. As for it doesn't matter, to be honest, Li Jiayi himself doesn't know. Maybe he feels that Lao Li has a bad temper towards him!
When he had time, Li Jiayi glanced from the kitchen to the living room and saw that there was quite a lively chat there.
Li Jiayi laughed, what does this mean? What a joke!
Also, Aunt Chen's daughter is not very old and looks about the same age as herself.
Of course, this just looks like it. Li Jiayi really doesn’t know how big it is.
As for looks, let’s put it this way! It's pretty good, maybe she's modeled after her mother.
Until half past ten, Aunt Tian came to the kitchen and said: "Master Liao, you can start."
"Okay Sister Tian, I'll start now."
"Yeah!"
Hearing that he was about to start cooking, Li Jiayi ran outside quickly. He had no choice but to do so because the fumes were extremely loud while cooking.
Moreover, the smell of oil smoke does not disappear as soon as the wind blows. It must be washed to remove the smell of oil smoke.
He doesn't care! I'm just afraid that my mother will find me when I go back.
You must know that he is not allowed to enter the kitchen at home. To be precise, he is not allowed to enter the kitchen.
Li Jiayi came outside and found that the senior sister was chatting with Aunt Chen's daughter, and the master, Aunt Chen, Lao Li and Aunt Tian were chatting together.
"Xiao Li, come here." As soon as Li Jia came out, Lao Li waved to him and shouted.
"What are you doing, Lao Li?"
"You brat, don't be too big or too small." The master turned around and glared at him.
"It's okay, we've always called him that." Lao Li said quickly.
"That's right, Master, if you weren't afraid of getting confused, you wouldn't be able to get away with the title Lao Li."
"Ugh!"
Li Shugen thought to himself: So this guy doesn’t call himself Lao Li because of this!
In fact, this is not the case. You must know that Li Jiayi used to call him dad, which is Lao Li. After getting to know Lao Li again, he stopped calling him.
For Li Jiayi, whoever is the oldest is Lao Li, so in terms of age, Lao Li must be the oldest.
You know Lao Li's actual age, but he is two or three years older than his grandfather! This is definitely Lao Li.
After Li Jiayi sat down, Lao Li said to Li Shugen: "Brother, your apprentice is not an ordinary person!"
"This guy is very smart. I have seen so many martial arts wizards, and he definitely ranks first."
What Li Shugen said was absolutely true, because he had never seen anyone who could beat Taizu Changquan more than ten times in a row in just a few years.
I have been practicing for half my life, but now I can only hit seven times at most at a time. I only achieved this breakthrough after taking Li Jiayi as my apprentice.
