There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Li Yi left the guest house with his father and went straight to the train station!

There are quite a few trains from the provincial capital to Ning City, where Li Yi is located, starting or passing by, and there are seven or eight times a day.

But Li Yi was able to take only one trip, and the reason was simple, because after they returned to the city, they had to change to a bus back to the county seat.

The bus back to the county seat departs once a day, at one o'clock in the afternoon.

In other words, if they want to return to Qingshan County today, they have to arrive in Ning City at one o'clock in the afternoon.

In this way, only seven o'clock in the morning is the most suitable car, if you miss it, you can only continue to stay in the provincial capital for one night, or return to Ning City for one night.

Whether it is Li Yi or Li Shankui, they are obviously not very happy, after all, there are still many things waiting for them at home!

After coming to the train station and buying tickets, the two sat in the waiting hall and waited.

There were quite a few people in the waiting hall, most of them in a hurry, obviously waiting for passengers to go out.

But there are also some people who are not like this, but they have attracted Li Yi's attention.

He observed that there were several young people in the waiting hall, although they were also carrying bags or baskets in their hands, but their expressions were looking left and right, and they did not look like they were in a car.

Just as Li Yi was observing these people, one of the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls also saw them.

I saw this little girl walking quickly to Li Yi's side, and then asked in a low voice: "Comrade, do you want to buy food, I have boiled eggs and freshly baked sugar cakes here?" ”

As she spoke, the little girl lifted the bamboo basket covered with cloth.

I saw a stack of golden sugar cakes neatly placed inside, in addition to a dozen boiled eggs.

Seeing that this little girl was actually selling things here, Li Yi was a little surprised.

Immediately, Li Yi pointed to a few young people not far away and asked, "Are they all like you, are they selling things?" ”

"Hmm!"

"Is that the staff at the station allowed it?" Li Yi asked again.

The little girl's face turned pale, and she immediately turned around and was about to leave.

Li Yi immediately said: "Don't panic, I didn't mean to report you, by the way, I think your sugar cake is very good, how can you sell it?" ”

The little girl looked at Li Yi and said, "The sugar cake is a dime, and the egg is a dime!" ”

"How many sugar cakes do you have, I want them all!" Li Yi said.

"All... All wanted? ”

The little girl was obviously frightened by Li Yi's words, she had been secretly selling things at the station for several months, and she had never seen such a generous customer.

Li Shankui was also a little surprised, he frowned and said: "Your mother can also make sugar cakes, just buy two and try them, why do you buy so much, can you eat them?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "We have a lot of family, and one person will get a lot, just buy it back and let my mother and them taste the sugar cakes in the provincial city!" ”

As he spoke, Li Yi took out a few pieces of change and prepared to pay.

The little girl saw that Li Yi really wanted to buy her sugar cakes, and immediately counted them.

"A total of 15 sheets, two pieces of 2 cents and five, you just give two pieces of two!"

Li Yi was not polite, and directly gave her two pieces of two, and then said, "Now you can talk to me!" ”

"That's... All right! ”

Although the little girl was not very happy in her heart, Li Yi had just bought all her sugar cakes at once, so she couldn't take care of her business without giving any face!

Li Yi smiled and said: "Your eggs are not easy to sell, if you talk to me well, I will tell you a way to ensure that your eggs sell quickly and make more money than others!" ”

"Really... Are you sure? ”

"Hmmm! Manly husband, a spit and a nail! ”

"And what do you want to ask?" The little girl said immediately.

"It stands to reason that it is not allowed to sell things without permission now, and the train station is a public place, where people come and go, so it should be more strictly controlled, why do you dare to sell things here?"

The little girl immediately said: "Several of us are the children of railway employees, and most of them are parents who have accidents, so the uncles and aunts in the station turn a blind eye, but if someone reports it, we will also be punished!" ”

Hearing this, Li Yi immediately understood, it was not the staff at the station who didn't care, but the extra care of these children with special status.

"I see!"

At that moment, Li Yi continued: "I see that your things are sold very cheaply, so I am afraid that you will not make much money in a day, let me tell you a way to make eggs, you can go back and try it!" ”

"What's the solution?"

"As for you, when you go back, wash the eggs first and cook them in a pot under cold water. Pour an appropriate amount of light soy sauce, star anise, Sichuan pepper, and salt into the pot, then add water, a small handful of tea leaves, boil over high heat and set aside, and crush the shell of the boiled egg..."

After Li Yi taught the little girl how to make tea eggs, he said again: "This kind of tea eggs have the effect of appetizing and strengthening the spleen, and you can sell them for one and a half cents." ”

"It's so expensive, is anyone really eating this tea egg?"

"If there is anyone to eat, you will know if you try it, and it won't cost a few dollars!" Li Yi said with a smile.

The charm of tea eggs is not something that can be described in words, after all, this food quickly became popular in a few years, and there were people selling it until decades later, which completely passed the verification of the market.

In this era of scarcity of materials, if you make tea eggs, it is difficult to make money.

"Thank you then, I... Can I know your name? The little girl asked.

"My name is Li Yi..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the radio at the train station came with a notice of train ticket inspection.

Li Yi found out that it was their train back to Ning City, when he said sorry to the little girl, and then took his father and rushed to the ticket gate with a large bag!

It was already eleven o'clock in the morning when he returned to Ningshi, and after leaving the station, Li Yi took his father directly to the bus station opposite the train station.

That's right, the bus station and the railway station in Ning City are next to each other, just across the road.

entered the station to buy a ticket, but Li Yi did not wait for the bus with his father in the waiting room, but took his father to the state-run hotel opposite.

Li Yi has never been a person who has wronged himself, not to mention that they just eat some dry food in the morning, and if they don't eat hot food at noon, they can only wait until the evening.

Ningshi's mutton stew is quite famous, Li Yi originally wanted to take his father to eat a bowl of stewed mutton, but Li Shankui refused, and once again said that he was wasting money.

There was no way, Li Yi could only ask for a bowl of steamed noodles for each of them, and he could barely deal with it.

As for the lamb stew, we can only wait for the next time!

It's just that Li Yi was just about to move his chopsticks, but he saw an acquaintance walk in from outside.
