Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 116 Buying birthday gifts (please subscribe!)

In a blink of an eye, it’s already Tuesday.

Today is the [-]th birthday of Wang Anguo's father. As an invited guest, Li Yi must go to Wang's house at noon.

So Li Yi took his two sisters and set off early in the morning, heading straight to the county seat.

Li Yi drove the black carriage in front, and the second sister and the third sister drove the big red mule cart behind.

Originally, according to Li Yi's idea, Tang Xue must be taken with him to such an important occasion today.

It's just that Tang Xue felt uncomfortable, and she felt that she wasn't married yet and didn't want to attend such an occasion with Li Yi, so she didn't come.

Li Yi did not force it. After all, reform and opening up had just begun, and the social atmosphere was still very conservative.

If a girl runs around with a man before she gets married, it is indeed easy for people to gossip.

Although Li Yi didn't care, he couldn't help but think about Tang Xue.

Since she didn't want to go, Li Yi decided to go alone.

As for the second sister, she just wanted to see how the third sister set up a stall, not to attend the birthday banquet with Li Yi.

After arriving in the county town, Li Yi did the same as before. He first sent the mountain goods to a state-owned hotel, and then accompanied his third sister to a sugar factory.

Li Yi had two things to do when he came to the sugar factory. One was to deliver cold skin and white skin pancakes to the sugar factory, and at the same time settle the payment for the past few days.

Another thing was that he wanted to talk to Factory Manager Liang about the eldest sister and brother-in-law going to work. After all, the eldest brother-in-law had agreed to separate from his parents, and he should help them arrange their work as soon as possible.

But after arriving at the sugar factory, Li Yi felt that there was no need to go alone for the second thing.

You must know that Factory Director Liang is Wang Anguo's senior brother, and the two families have a very good relationship.

Mr. Wang is celebrating his birthday today, and he, as an apprentice, must come anyway!

Therefore, it is not too late to discuss this matter when we meet at noon. There is no need to go to Factory Director Liang alone!

So after delivering 800 portions of Liangpi and more than 1600 white-skin pancakes to the kitchen of the sugar factory, Li Yi took the order signed with the name of the person in charge of the logistics department and went straight to the financial office of the sugar factory.

This order was only signed for 7 days in total. The contract is now over and it is time to settle the payment.

Since Director Liang had already greeted me for this payment, the finance department was very happy when giving the money. They gave the money immediately after seeing the order.

After successfully receiving the payment of 1960 yuan, Li Yi and his two sisters left the sugar factory.

The second sister and the third sister went to the textile factory to set up stalls, while Li Yi went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

After all, Mr. Wang is celebrating his birthday, so he can’t go empty-handed!
Even if he and Wang Anguo have some friendship, he may not care about the gift when he invites him.

But for something like this, there must be many relatives and friends of the Wang family coming to attend the birthday banquet, and he cannot embarrass others.

After arriving at the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Yi was suddenly stumped. He had never participated in such a birthday banquet before, and he really didn't know what to buy for others.

After thinking about it again and again, Li Yi asked the salesperson to move a box of Maotai wine to him!
Giving wine as a birthday gift is a good choice. After all, in this day and age, even if I wanted to give the old man some jade, calligraphy and painting, there is no place to buy it.

Moreover, Wang Anguo was the captain of the criminal police after all. If the things he gave to his father were too expensive, it would easily cause misunderstandings.

This Maotai liquor is just right. A box only costs a few dozen yuan. It can express one's feelings without being out of line!

After buying the things, Li Yi did not go to the county bureau to find Wang Anguo.Firstly, it was too early. There were still more than two hours before noon. There was nothing to do if we went there so early!
Secondly, I am getting married soon, and there are too many things that need to be dealt with.

His parents and second brother-in-law helped clean up the wedding room and so on. Now he needed to find a cook as soon as possible.

Although there is also a chef who cooks banquets in the village, Li Yi feels that his level is average and he can fool the villagers.

He had never seen some good ingredients before, so how could he possibly handle them well!
Therefore, Li Yi decided to hire a cook from the city for his wedding banquet!
Li Yi had never done this before, so he planned to ask someone.

And for this kind of thing, someone like Liu San'er is the most suitable person.

When Li Yi drove the black carriage to Liu San'er, the boy was chatting with a middle-aged man.

Seeing Li Yi coming, Liu Saner immediately threw the middle-aged man aside and then came over.

"Brother, you're here!"

"Well, if you have something to do, go ahead and get busy. I'm not in a hurry here!" Li Yi said.

"It's nothing, this guy just wants to inquire about the price of gold, not that there is any business!" Liu San'er said.

Hearing this, Li Yi glanced at the middle-aged man subconsciously.

These days, everyone is very poor. If a family has a few hundred yuan, they are considered rich. How can there be gold?

Therefore, there are generally only two types of people who have gold in this family:

One type is the kind of landlords who have hidden wealth from their ancestors. They secretly hid their family's treasures during group gatherings. In recent years, the situation has stabilized, or their families have suffered disasters, so they want to cash in these hidden wealth.

Another group of people made a fortune accidentally, either by digging up ancient tombs, or by obtaining hidden wealth hidden by other wealthy locals.

However, the other party was quite alert. After seeing Li Yi, he didn't wait much and walked directly into the alley next to him.

Li Yi didn't care. People these days were frightened by the storm in previous years. Even buying something on the black market was the same as engaging in underground intelligence.

Not to mention trying to sell gold, it's better to be careful.

At that moment, Li Yi said to Liu San: "San'er, let me ask you something. Do you know anyone in the city who can cook banquets?"

Liu San'er immediately said: "Brother, you have asked the right person about this matter. My second uncle does this, and his craftsmanship is famous throughout the county!"

"Oh, then do you know how he charges?" Li Yi asked again.

"The boss prepares the ingredients, and my second uncle and the others only cook. There are 12 dishes for a table, and they charge one yuan!"

Then Liu San continued: "If the owner doesn't care about anything, then the price will be calculated one by one. The specific price depends on what the owner plans to serve!"

Li Yi nodded and said: "I will prepare things myself, but what about tables, chairs and benches?"

"You can rent it. My second uncle and the others have the know-how to do this. It won't cost much!"

"Okay, take me to meet your second uncle. I'm getting married in two days and I plan to invite him to a banquet!" Li Yi said.

"Okay, I'll take you there right now!"

"go!"
