Chapter 22 Snack Stall
The young man with the red armband: "On the first day of setting up the stall, pay the stall management fee of 10 points per month, and then register with me. What's the stall owner's name? Is he a superpower or an ordinary person? What do you plan to sell?"
The young man looked strong, but his tone was gentle.
"Li Chengyi, a water superpower, selling water and food."
Li Chengyi did not intend to let Bai Zhi set up the stall alone.
The trading area was also a mixed bag, and he was worried about her safety as a girl alone here.
The young man with the red armband said: "Okay, I've registered here. When you set up your stall, come to me to pay your points and I'll arrange a spot for you. We are only responsible for providing the space, and you have to prepare the tools for setting up the stall yourself."
The young man with the red armband made a note in his notebook and briefly introduced the situation of the trading area.
"The stalls in the trading area are generally fixed, unless someone doesn't want to rent them. The opening hours are generally from 8 am to 10 pm. During this time period, there will be government management personnel here to take turns to maintain order. I am responsible for the morning to 3 pm, so you can come to me when you want to rent a stall.
"The government does not care about your trading prices, but is only responsible for dealing with theft, robbery, and fighting. You guys are selling food, so you have to take responsibility for the safety issues. "
After Li Chengyi and Bai Zhi understood the situation, they thanked him and left the trading area.
On the way home, Bai Zhi thought about the food at home, turned her head and looked up at Li Chengyi.
Bai Zhi: "We still have a lot of rice and flour, potatoes and sweet potatoes, as well as dried vegetables such as dried radish, seaweed, kelp, dried cowpea, and bamboo shoots, as well as bacon and ham. There are still a lot of food that can be made.
"I plan to use these dry ingredients to make food to earn points, and then use the points to buy some fresh meat, eggs and vegetables for ourselves. What do you think we should sell?"
Li Chengyi: "Is the potato pancake this morning difficult to make? I think it's delicious."
Li Chengyi has no opinion on what to sell, but he doesn't want Bai Zhi to work too hard.
Bai Zhi: "Potato pancakes are not difficult to make. You can cook the potatoes and make the dough the night before, and you can also add soaked vegetables to the pancakes. When you sell them the next day, just fry them for five minutes. Sweet potatoes can be steamed, or they can be made into sweet potato pancakes."
Bai Zhi thinks that Wu Nana and Li Chengyi both mentioned potato pancakes, and there should be a market for selling them.
Li Chengyi: "Let's do this first. The logistics department of the superpowers has potatoes and flour for sale, so you don't have to worry about the ingredients for now."
Li Chengyi and Bai Zhi went to the logistics department to check the prices of seasonings and vegetables, and finally set the price of potato pancakes.
A simple potato pancake costs 5 points, adding a vegetable costs 1 point, and adding bacon or diced ham costs 2 points.
Bai Zhi is a person who is quick to act and does what she says. She started preparing potatoes and dough that night.
Li Chengyi helped her soak the dried vegetables and cut the meat into cubes, and also prepared a small table, stools, and wooden boards for her to set up the stall.
After discussing with Li Chengyi, Bai Zhi decided to try selling breakfast, lunch, and dinner for two days, and finally set a time period based on the situation.
Li Chengyi just wanted to support Baizhi to have her own things to do and didn't want her to be too tired.
Baizhi also just wanted to earn some points through her own labor and didn't want to be a burden to Li Chengyi, but she didn't intend to work herself to death.
The next morning, Li Chengyi drove Baizhi to the trading area.
After handing in the points, getting the stall, and getting the stall owner's points stamp, Li Chengyi was responsible for moving things from the car, and Baizhi quickly tidied up the stall.
When Baizhi started to fry their breakfast, it was not yet half past eight.
There were only a few stalls in the trading area that had people setting up their stalls. Among them was the stall selling rice balls.
Because the cafeteria usually doesn't prepare breakfast, some espers on missions and military and political workers with spare money who don't want to eat the bread and biscuits sold by the logistics department will occasionally go to the trading area to buy rice balls to fill their stomachs. The person
selling the rice balls is a young man, just like what Baizhi and the others saw yesterday, he brought a bucket of ready-made rice balls, and didn't intend to heat them on the spot.
Baizhi guessed that there must be a fire esper in the team or family, who made the rice balls at home, and then this young man who looked like an ordinary person was in charge of selling them.
The potato cakes in Baizhi's pot were so fragrant once they were heated that they could be smelled for ten miles.
In addition, Li Chengyi boiled a pot of hot milk with milk powder and water in the small milk pot next to him, which quickly attracted the people setting up stalls around him and the managers wearing red armbands.
"What kind of cakes are you selling? Why are they so fragrant?" The middle-aged man selling knives next to him slurped his saliva and couldn't help asking.
"Potato cakes with vegetables and diced meat." Bai Zhi answered patiently, and then pointed the price list to the man selling knives.
Price list:
"Pure potato pancakes 5 points/piece, one kind of vegetable +1 point, one kind of bacon or diced ham +2 points.
Hot milk 5 points/250ml, water 5 points/500ml."
The price was not expensive, and the middle-aged man's team selling knives also earned some points. The potato pancakes smelled much better than rice balls, and they were happy to try them, so they said, "Give me one with vegetables and meat."
Baizhi: "The vegetables are radish, cowpea, and kelp, and the meat is bacon and ham. Which one do you want?"
The man selling knives: "I want all the vegetables, and the meat with ham."
Baizhi: "Okay, wait two minutes."
The one Baizhi fried for herself was the one the man selling knives ordered, so she planned to sell it first and then fry it again for herself later.
Fry both sides until golden brown, put the two potato pancakes belonging to Li Chengyi on a plate for him, and put the one ordered by the knife seller in a plastic bag.
Bai Zhi: "Brother, your potato pancakes are ready."
The knife seller brought his points book over, Bai Zhi crossed out 10 points and stamped it with the stall owner's seal.
Then she took out her own points book, added 10 points, and asked the knife seller to print her fingerprint.
Although the transaction settlement process was a little troublesome, it was much more than the money earned in the morning sorting out supplies.
Bai Zhi didn't mind making money at all.
The knife seller took the points book, took the hot potato pancake, blew it and walked to his stall.
He sat down on the ground and couldn't wait to take a bite.
!
Crispy on the outside and glutinous on the inside, salty and delicious!
Not caring that it was still a little hot, he ate one bite after another.
In less than a minute, the knife-selling brother wolfed down a potato pancake.
Knife-selling brother: "Sister, your pancake is so delicious! Give me another one, with three kinds of vegetables and bacon!"
The brother licked his lips with satisfaction and ordered another one.
Baizhi: "Okay, wait a minute."
Baizhi added the new pancake ordered by the knife-selling brother to the pancake she fried for herself.
The manager wearing a red armband saw that Li Chengyi and the knife-selling brother were eating very happily, and also walked to Baizhi's stall, "Give me one too, with three kinds of vegetables and ham."
Baizhi: "Okay."
Baizhi added a potato pancake to the pot, and Li Chengyi took the points book from the man with the red armband and stamped it.
"A cup of hot milk, too." The man with the red armband looked at the warm milk in the small milk pot and thought that since he was already here, he might as well indulge himself.
Li Chengyi settled his points, took out a 250ml paper cup he bought at the logistics department, filled it with a cup of milk and handed it to the man with the red armband.
