"I picked up a penny on the side of the road and handed it to Uncle Cha, who took the money and nodded at me, and I said happily - Uncle, goodbye!" Jia Lei sang and walked towards the train station.

When ten yuan was still the maximum face value, the penny he picked up had to be handed over to Uncle Cha. (This sentence is from the reader's comment on Aquamarine LQ)

Yesterday, Xiaohua next door handed over his two cents pocket money to the teacher as a pick-up for praise and little red flowers, and Jia Lei listened to it and had fun all night.

Jia Lei has been selling tea eggs in the square of the train station for two days, and business is particularly easy to do in the era when there is no chengguan. (Yes, the author checked the information in 1990 and there was absolutely no chengguan!)

Especially now that the tide of layoffs has not yet begun, there are very few people who are willing to put down their bodies and become self-employed, but any entrepreneur will encounter all kinds of troubles in the early stage of entrepreneurship, and our pig's feet are no exception.

Jia Lei has been a little troubled in the past two days, and he has encountered someone who "collects protection money". This rule has been around since ancient times, and there will be no exception at any time, there is no shortage of gangsters in that city, and how prosperous the train station is!

There are more than a group of thugs here, who not only collect protection money from various small traders, but also work part-time scalpers to resell train tickets.

Now in this period, the train tickets in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are in short supply, and they either drag the relationship through the back door to buy a large number of train tickets through insiders, or they queue up overnight to buy tickets, and there is no limit to buying at that time, saying that a person can buy many train tickets at a time. When they came out, they would add 10 yuan or 20 yuan to each ticket, and sell the train tickets to people who didn't buy them, and the price could be doubled at most.

The ones who came to trouble Jia Lei were such a few gangsters, and the leading one was called Ah Fei. They are not bad, they don't need money for a child like Jia Lei, they just come to get a few tea eggs per person every day, Jia Lei is a little fart child naturally dare not resist and obediently serve the tea eggs.

Why don't our protagonists, you ask, rebel?

The end of resistance is to be pushed to the ground and kicked twice, and half of the tea eggs are taken away, this is Jia Lei's experience!

The most powerful group of people near the railway station square is the people of the mountain master, and Jia Lei has to hand over ten tea eggs to them every day, which is called Bai Wharf. The mountain master didn't look down on him at all, and he asked someone to give him two yuan every time, which was the money for a raw egg, but the rules are the rules, and no one can be an exception.

Even if Jia Lei is reborn, he is still an ordinary person, and he is even afraid of a gangster like Ah Fei, let alone a mountain master with a number one on the road. The people under the mountain master are all masters who steal, kidnap, rob and hurt people, and they are all ruthless and not afraid of breaking the law. Jia Lei saw that many of them carried knives with them, and occasionally there were blood stains on the knives a few times, and every time in addition to delivering tea and eggs, Jia Lei would usually hide away when he saw them.

Fortunately, at this time, the people in the rivers and lakes are still righteous and obedient, as long as Jia Lei sends filial piety on time, they will not come to trouble themselves, and occasionally help solve some arrogant guests. Now Jia Lei's business is on the right track, his daily sales have increased from 200 to 400, and then to the current 800 per day, and the net profit can exceed 200 yuan per day, and the little thing of filial piety is nothing at all. Selling snacks is particularly profitable, and in 2017, pancakes and fruits can earn 800 a day.

But it's also very hard to make so much money, Jia Lei's big iron pot at home is added to four together, and it is placed outside the door day and night to cook tea eggs, do you ask if you are not afraid of being stolen when you cook tea eggs outside?

No kidding! Jia Lei's family can stay from 6 o'clock in the morning until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night when the TV has no program and will leave, and there are forty or fifty people inside and outside the house, who would dare to steal things!

It is no exaggeration to say that half of the eggs in the grocery store near Jia Lei's house were rounded by him.

Later, in order to save costs, he went directly to the roadside vegetable market and the purchase point in the countryside to buy directly from the villagers, and made an appointment to settle the bill once a week for the daily quantity.

You ask why his business is so good? First, the location of the train station is so good, and the flow of people is so large every day.

The second is that Jia Lei is willing to spend money in business, and there is no shortage of seasonings such as peppercorns and other seasonings in the water used to cook tea leaves and eggs, and a little extra secret recipe is added.

He put sugar! It's a very expensive sugar now! It's sweet enough to kill all the other tea eggs in the train station square.

"No wonder there is a sketch in the current Spring Festival Gala that says that those who make missiles are not as good as those who sell tea and eggs! This line of work is really profitable!" After Jia Lei finished speaking, he put the ten yuan he had just received into his pocket. He just received a big customer, a family of four brothers who are going to go out to work in HN. It is said that they will have to take a few days and nights of trains, and before getting on the train, the money specially came to buy a few more tea eggs to eat on the road.

If there is anything else we have seen in this train that has changed several times, I am afraid that it is the price of the dining car that is unusually high.

"Hey, brother, what are you doing?" Ah Fei came over and suddenly reached out and grabbed the hand of a shriveled black and thin young man, Jia Lei heard the prestige and happened to see Ah Fei deduct seven or eight ten-yuan bills from the young man's hand, Ah Fei threw the money in Jia Lei's face with a hard flick.

"Little broken child, you can't even look at the money, what kind of business do you want, why don't you go home and breastfeed!" Ah Fei said worriedly.

As soon as Jia Lei heard that after picking up the money, he hurriedly opened his pocket for money, which he designed by himself and then asked Sanni to make it for himself, there were many small grids in the pocket, and there were one yuan, five yuan, ten yuan banknotes according to the face value, and two green banknotes. As for the coins and gross tickets, they are all thrown in the large compartment in the middle, so that it is much easier to count the money at night.

"I don't have a mother now, I can't eat milk!" Jia Lei disliked him, and scolded him when he spoke ugly, but Jia Lei said so, but his hands were not idle, he took out ten tea eggs from his basket and gave them to him.

"Thank you for helping me catch the thief and give you food. Jia Lei said that this gust of cool wind blew, and his snot fell again, Jia Lei calmly raised his arm and wiped off his snot with his sleeve.

Da Fei glanced at him with disgust, if it weren't for the fact that he was still a little kid with no chest in front of him, coupled with his poor little face blown by the wind and his frozen snot, he wouldn't care about such a nosy.

I didn't expect that because of an occasional kindness, I helped him catch a thief, and this kid would generously give himself ten tea eggs!

You must know that he only takes two eggs from him every day, and this kid is always crooked and unconvinced, and this time he actually gave himself ten eggs, ten!

"Okay! Since I received your things, I will help you with this matter today, pack up your things, and you will come with me. Da Fei twisted the thief's arm and said to Jia Lei, Jia Lei could only put away the basket containing the tea eggs and walked away with Da Fei inexplicably.

I saw Da Fei walking all the way north in the direction of the station police station, Jia Lei thought he was going to take himself to the police station to report the case and record a confession, but he didn't expect Da Fei to grab the thief and walk over without squinting.

Jia Lei could only carry the basket and watch the police station turn around step by step, and walked over, walking-passing-going ———!
