In the blink of an eye, it's already Tuesday.

Today is the day of Wang Anguo's father's 60th birthday, and Li Yi, as an invited guest, must go to Wang's house at noon.

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

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

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

It's just that Tang Xue felt uncomfortable, and she didn't feel that she was married yet, so she didn't want to attend this kind of occasion with Li Yi, so she didn't come.

Li Yi was not reluctant, after all, the reform and opening up has just begun, and the social atmosphere is still very conservative.

It's really easy for girls to gossip with men when they run around before they get married.

Although Li Yi didn't care about it, 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 simply wanted to see how the third sister set up her stall, not to go to the birthday banquet with Li Yi.

After arriving in the county seat, Li Yi was the same as before, first sending the mountain goods to the state-run hotel, and then accompanied the third sister to the sugar factory.

Li Yi came to the sugar factory to have two things to do, one thing was to send cold skin and white skin cakes to the sugar factory, and at the same time settle the payment for the past few days.

Another thing is that he wants to talk to Director Liang about the eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law going to work, after all, the eldest brother-in-law has agreed to separate from his father and mother, 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 Director Liang is Wang Anguo's senior brother, and the relationship between the two is very good.

Today, Old Man Wang is going to celebrate his birthday, how can he, who is an apprentice, have to come!

Therefore, it's not too late to wait until we meet at noon to talk about this matter, and there is no need to go to Director Liang alone!

So after sending 800 pieces of cold skin and more than 1,600 white skin cakes to the kitchen of the sugar factory, Li Yi took the list signed with the name of the person in charge of the logistics department and went straight to the finance room of the sugar factory.

The order was only signed for 7 days, and now that the contract is over, it's time to settle the payment.

Because the director of the Liang factory had already said hello to this payment, he was very happy when the financial side gave the money, and immediately gave the money after seeing the list.

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

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

After all, the old man Wang is a birthday, so he can't go empty-handed!

Even if he and Wang Anguo have a little friendship, he may not care about the gift when he invites him to go.

But for something like this, the Wang family must have many relatives and friends to attend the birthday banquet together, and he can't be embarrassed.

After coming to 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 him a box of Moutai liquor!

It is also a good choice to give wine as a birthday gift, after all, in this era, even if you want to give the old man some jade calligraphy and paintings, there is no place to buy them.

And Wang Anguo is the captain of the criminal police after all, if the things he gives his father are too expensive, it will be easy to cause misunderstandings.

This Moutai wine is just right, and a box is only a few dozen yuan, which can not only express your heart, but also not out of line!

After buying the things, Li Yi did not go to the county bureau to find Wang Anguo.

First, it's too early, it's still more than two hours before noon, so it's okay to go over so early!

Second, I'm about to get married, and there are too many things to deal with.

The marriage room or something, his father and mother and second brother-in-law help clean it up, and he now needs to give the cook as soon as possible.

Although there are also chefs who cook banquets in the village, Li Yi feels that his level is average, and he can fool the villagers.

Some good ingredients, he has never seen them himself, how can he handle them well!

Therefore, for his wedding banquet, Li Yi decided to hire a cook in the city!

Li Yi hadn't done this himself, so he planned to find someone to ask.

And this kind of thing, it is most suitable to find someone like Liu San'er.

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

Seeing Li Yi coming, Liu San'er immediately threw the middle-aged man aside, and then greeted him.

"Brother, you're here!"

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

"It's nothing, this guy just wants to inquire about the price of gold, but it's not a deal!" Liu San'er said.

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

In these years, the big guys are all poor, and if there are a few hundred yuan in the family, they are rich, how can there be gold.

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

One is the kind of landlord who has hidden dark wealth in his ancestors, and secretly hides the treasures of his family when he is in a big collective, and the situation has stabilized in recent years, or the family has suffered, so he wants to realize these dark wealth.

The other type of people made a windfall by accident, either digging up ancient tombs, or obtaining dark wealth hidden by other rich people.

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

Li Yi didn't care, people in these years were all scared of the storm in previous years, even if they went to the black market to buy something, it was the same as engaging in underground intelligence.

Not to mention trying to sell gold, so be careful.

At that moment, Li Yi said to Liu San: "San'er, let me ask you something, do you know who in the city will make a banquet?" ”

Liu San'er immediately said: "Brother, you can be regarded as asking the right person about this matter, my second uncle is doing this, and his craftsmanship is famous in the county!" ”

"Oh, so do you know how he charges for it?" Li Yi asked again.

"The owner of the package, my second uncle, they only need to cook, a table of 12 dishes, charge one dollar!"

Then Liu San continued: "If the owner doesn't care about anything, then the money for one dish at a time, how much it is, it depends on what the owner is going to serve!" ”

Li Yi nodded and said, "I'll prepare things myself, but what about tables, chairs and benches?" ”

"You can rent it, my second uncle has a way to do this, and it won't cost a few dollars!"

"That's okay, you take me to meet your second uncle, I will get married in two days, and I plan to invite him to a banquet!" Li Yi said.

"Okay, I'll take you there!"

"Let's go!"
