He had been thinking about how to earn his first pot of gold ever since he started thinking.
People think of electronics, appliances, and clothing, but neglect people's most basic need for food.
There was a saying that circulated in the 1990s: "Those who manufacture missiles are not as well off as those who sell tea eggs."
Chen Dong looked up and glanced at the price list on the wall again.
Tea eggs cost 25 cents each.
That's it!
Thinking of this, he couldn't wait any longer, so he peeled open the tea egg and took a bite.
After taking a bite, Chen Dong frowned slightly. The taste was rather strange, not even a third as good as what he had tasted in later generations. It was more like a boiled egg cooked in tea water.
Chen Dong asked, "You really think it's delicious?"
"It's delicious! This owner is really kind; I've never had tea eggs with such a strong tea flavor before."
"......"
Chen Dong was speechless.
What the hell is this tea egg with such a strong tea flavor?
If they had tasted the tea eggs of later generations, they probably wouldn't say that.
Money is really easy to make these days.
Chen Dong also did a quick calculation of the cost in his mind.
An egg that costs an average of 10 cents, plus the ingredients, costs at most 15 cents. It can be sold for 25 cents in a restaurant, and probably 30 cents in a more populated area.
That's double the profit.
If we take the recipe from later generations, add a little bit of advertising, and sell them for 50 cents each, wouldn't that be too much to ask?
The more Chen Dong thought about it, the more excited he became.
It's New Year's Day 1990 now, and the Lunar New Year is just two months away.
This period is also the peak season for labor demand.
People going out to work, transiting through other places, and returning home are coming and going in an endless stream.
Most importantly, the green-skinned trains of today, unlike the high-speed trains of later generations, do not reduce travel time costs.
Spending a day or two on the road is perfectly normal.
This thought came to mind.
Chen Dong said with a smile.
"Hua Zi, why don't you work with me?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Zi asked in surprise, "Brother Dong, aren't you going to work in the south?"
"I'm not going!"
Chen Dong answered firmly, his tone very resolute.
"Isn't the point of working to earn money? If there are ways to make money, why leave your hometown? Don't you think that makes sense?"
"That makes sense, but what can we do? We don't have the capital."
"Who told you I have no capital?"
Chen Dong glanced around and lowered his voice.
"We'll talk about it when we get back."
