Chapter 23: Business is booming
The man with the red armband took the milk and took a sip. The milk flavor was quite strong.
Baizhi also added a moderate amount of sugar to the milk powder, so there was still some sweetness.
The pancake was quickly fried.
The man with the red armband took the potato pancake and took a bite impatiently while standing in front of the stall. "Delicious! Sister, your cooking skills are really good!"
A bite of pancake, a sip of milk, in three or five bites, the potato pancake was gone.
The man with the red armband: "Girl, will you come to set up the stall every morning in the future? My name is Zhang Qiang. If you have any questions about setting up the stall, just come to me."
Bai Zhi: "Okay, thank you, Brother Zhang. My name is Bai Zhi. My boyfriend and I have been here all day these two days. What time you come later depends on the sales in the next two days."
Zhang Qiang: "Your business will definitely be good!"
He raised his hand and looked at his watch. "It's only 8:30 now. Government workers will pass by here on their way to work. There will definitely be a lot of people coming to buy breakfast from you. You Don't worry."
Bai Zhi: "Really? That's great. Brother Zhang, during what time periods are there more people in the trading area?"
Zhang Qiang: "People who pass by on their way to work around nine o'clock, and people who come to the market in the afternoon and evening. The most people come after dinner."
Li Chengyi saw that Zhang Qiang had finished his milk, so he put a paper cup of water in it and handed it to him, "Thank you."
Zhang Qiang didn't hesitate to take the water and thank him. He planned to move them to a better position under the shade of the trees next time there was an empty stall.
What happened next was exactly as Zhang Qiang said. Starting from about eight forty, military and political personnel who lived nearby and went to work, as well as supernatural people on missions, passed by the trading area one after another.
Basically, no one passed by Baizhi's snack stand empty-handed. Those with big appetites even bought two or three, and there were also people with superpowers who directly bought breakfast for a whole team.
It was only half past nine, and the cakes that Baizhi prepared all day last night were almost sold out.
Fortunately, for safety reasons, the two brought raw potatoes and flour in the trunk, so Li Chengyi was responsible for continuing to prepare the ingredients.
Baizhi remembered what Wu Nana said yesterday, and planned to go and tell her about her stall during the morning rush hour when there would be few people.

Military and Political Office Building.
"Baizhi! Why are you here!" When Wu Nana heard her colleagues say that Baizhi was looking for her, she hurried downstairs immediately.
"Here, these potato pancakes I just made," Bai Zhi handed her the potato pancakes she brought for her, "I set up a snack stand in the trading area, and came to tell you."
"Wow! I guessed it was you!" Wu Nana took it, smiled happily, and couldn't wait to take a big bite.
Wu Nana: "Hmm~ So delicious! I just heard from a colleague that there is a new snack stand in the trading area, selling potato cakes, which are especially delicious! I think it must be you!"
Bai Zhi looked at her eating while talking to her and found it a little funny, "Don't choke."
Wu Nana: "Hehe, it's really delicious! What time will you set up the stall? I'll buy some tomorrow!"
Bai Zhi: "I'll be there all day these two days, and I'll be there between 8:30 and 9:30 in the morning. The rest of the time depends on the situation."
Wu Nana: "Then I'll go to your place every morning to buy! You've solved the breakfast problem for so many of us!"
Bai Zhi: "Okay, I'll wait for you to take care of my business!"
Wu Nana: "No problem!"
After Wu Nana finished eating, the two said goodbye and parted ways.
Baizhi returned to the snack stand in the trading area. Li Chengyi had already prepared potatoes and dough, and fried and sold two potato pancakes himself.
Although he was not a good cook, he had basically learned how to fry potato pancakes from Baizhi last night. It took 2 minutes on one side and they were golden brown.
It was similar to what Zhang Qiang said. There were more stall owners who set up stalls in the afternoon, and many people came to the market after dinner in the evening. There
were repeat customers who came to eat potato pancakes in the morning and at noon, and there were also many teammates and colleagues who brought them for supper.
At nine o'clock in the evening, all the ingredients that Baizhi and Li Chengyi brought were used up, including flour.
After the potatoes were sold, Baizhi used the remaining flour to make vegetable and meat pancakes without potatoes, which also sold very well.
The two went home after work. Li Chengyi was responsible for cleaning the tools, and Baizhi took the points book to count the accounts.
Excluding the cost price of the raw materials purchased from the logistics department, they earned more than 600 points from selling cakes today.
Add to that the more than 400 points that Li Chengyi earned from selling water and milk, and their net profit for the day exceeded 1,000.
Although not so many people come to eat potato cakes every day, Bai Zhi's craftsmanship, the solar stove and pots needed for frying cakes on the spot, and Li Chengyi's water-based abilities are all indispensable and irreplaceable.
So their snack stand business must be good.
Bai Zhi also decided that after the time for setting up the stall is set, in addition to the salty potato cakes and sweet sweet potato cakes, she can also prepare vegetable and meat buns with preserved vegetable fillings, bamboo shoots fillings, and mushroom fillings. They also have a lot of dried preserved vegetables, dried mushrooms, and dried bamboo shoots.
The second day's business was even better than the first.
Especially during breakfast time. After word of mouth the previous day, many military and political office personnel and psychics knew that a new snack stand had opened in the trading area.
When Bai Zhi and Li Chengyi arrived at eight o'clock, they saw several psychics waiting in front of the stall, saying that they wanted to buy a few to take away before going on a mission, and eat them when they were hungry.
At half past eight, the morning rush hour began, and a long line formed in front of the stall.
Bai Zhi was in charge of seasoning and frying the pancakes, while Li Chengyi was in charge of boiling potatoes and kneading the dough.
The two of them were basically busy all morning.
The stall owners who came to set up stalls in the afternoon even directly used potato cakes as their working meals, and almost everyone bought one or two.
People who went to the market after dinner would not miss the snack stalls that were crowded with people and smelled delicious food.
When counting the accounts in the evening, Bai Zhi found that she had earned more than the first day.
She earned nearly a thousand points just by selling cakes.
Li Chengyi felt that Bai Zhi had hardly rested all day, and now seeing her lying on the sofa exhausted, he felt a little distressed.
Li Chengyi: "Starting tomorrow, let's choose a time period to set up the stall."
Bai Zhi lay on the sofa. Although she felt tired, she felt more fulfilled and happy from making money.
Hearing this, she looked up at Li Chengyi, whose face was indifferent but eyes were filled with love.
Bai Zhi: "I'm fine. Business is good in the morning and evening. I think we can set up the stall from 8:30 to 9:30 in the morning, then go home to rest, and go again at 7 in the evening, and go home when we have sold almost everything. What do you think?"
Li Chengyi looked at her high-spirited and happy expression, and didn't want to throw cold water on her and rejected her, so he nodded in agreement.
Thinking that she couldn't fight anymore, she would leave all the preparation work to him, and Bai Zhi would be responsible for seasoning and supervising the temperature of his pancakes.
Prepare a chair with a backrest for her so that she can rest when she is tired.
