"I'd like to hook up with you."

Jiang Xiaobai didn't grind, and said directly.

Board?

Wang Ping was stunned, his small teahouse can earn more than 30 yuan a month when business is good, and he can't even earn 20 yuan a month when business is bad.

It's okay to feed his family.

If you add another person, the income will be much less.

"Why do you suddenly want to come out and do things?"

Wang Ping pondered for a moment, and finally did not refuse directly, but asked.

"You also know that I used to be too muddy, and now I want to do something serious and live a good life." Jiang Xiaobai said very casually.

Wang Ping glanced at Jiang Xiaobai in surprise, and then nodded, Jiang Xiaobai can realize his mistakes and want to change his ways, which is a good thing.

"Okay, come on."

"Well, I'll give you 10 dollars a month."

Wang Ping said.

10 yuan a month, which is about the same as Jiang Xiaobai's salary when he was a teacher at Qingshan Primary School.

For such a small teahouse, Wang Ping can open 10 yuan, which is a lot.

Jiang Xiaobai's heart was warm, he smiled and said, "Forget it, I don't want your 10 yuan, on the contrary, I will give you 30 yuan every month." ”

"It's not funny at all." Wang Ping frowned and said.

"I'm not kidding you."

Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand and said, "You can help me build a shed to shelter me from the rain in the open space at the entrance of the teahouse, just rent the empty land to me, I will use it to do some business, and I will store the guy in your store at night." ”

Yes?

Wang Ping was stunned for a moment.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai said sincerely, he didn't seem to be talking about it, so he couldn't help but ask curiously: "What are you going to do business?" ”

"To get some snacks, start by buying kang potatoes."

Jiang Xiaobai didn't hide it, and said seriously.

"Poof!"

This time it was Wang Ping's turn to laugh, "I said Jiang Xiaobai, are you striking iron in your brain or is it a long bag?" ”

"Which kang artichoke has not been eaten?"

"Can it be sold for money?"

Wang Ping shook his head into a rattle, the kang artichoke could be sold for money, and he didn't believe it when he was killed.

"Don't make a mistake."

Wang Ping said worriedly.

Jiang Xiaobai didn't care, "Don't worry, you won't lose." He smiled and said, "Your 30 will not be less." ”

Wang Ping scratched his head and said, "What do we brothers say, if you are willing to come out and do things, it is the best." ”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "That's okay, you can help me nail the shed today, and I'll start work tomorrow." ”

"Okay."

Wang Ping readily agreed.

"Then I'll go first, I'll have to go buy something."

Jiang Xiaobai said goodbye and left, and went straight to the vegetable market.

When he went to the vegetable market, he mainly bought a little dried chili, and he bought 10 catties of seven sisters chili peppers, 5 cents a catty; 10 catties of two wattles, only 4 cents a catty, as for the pepper he didn't buy, there are more at home.

It's cheap, and it only costs 9 cents for 20 catties of dried chili peppers.

Next, he mainly looked to see if he could buy some more spices, but after searching for a long time, he found three kinds of cloves, pepper and fennel.

Together with the cinnamon, star anise, and bay leaves I bought yesterday, there are six kinds of spices together.

But it wasn't enough, he wanted to make up at least thirteen incense.

After buying 2 catties of vegetable oil by the way, Jiang Xiaobai left the vegetable market, carried two bags of dried chili peppers, and began to look for Chinese medicine stores all over the city.

Many spices can be used in medicine, and there are few spices used in cooking these days, and it is normal for the vegetable market to have few items to sell.

But in Chinese medicine stores, most of the spices are still available.

Sure enough, after Jiang Xiaobai went to a few Chinese pharmacies, he bought tangerine peel, kaempfera, angelica, ginger, licorice, nutmeg, sand kernels, monk fruit, etc., and made together more than 20 kinds of spices.

Enough is enough.

And the price of spices is not expensive, so many people buy so much, and it only costs 16 yuan and 2 cents together.

Jiang Xiaobai was in a good mood and went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

To make kang potatoes, you must have a pan, a honeycomb coal stove, and a cutting board, kitchen knife, and artichoke scraping.

4 pans for 2 cents, 3 honeycomb coal stoves for 6 cents, and 1 board for 2 cents, buy one piece each.

Artichoke scratch 3 cents a piece, buy 3 pieces.

Buy two more large plastic basins, 2 pieces of 6 cents each; Two enamel basins, 1 piece of 6 cents each.

Because Jiang Xiaobai didn't have a ticket, everything was bought at a bargaining price, and it cost a total of 18 yuan and 3 cents.

After sending these things to Wang Ping's teahouse and putting them away, Jiang Xiaobai left again.

said that he bought delicious food for his daughter, but he couldn't break his promise.

Go to the department store first, you must buy toilet paper, and then resolutely do not wipe your butt with shell leaves.

Toothpaste, toothbrush must be bought.

I wanted to buy some snacks for my daughter, but there were few snacks in this era, so I only bought a box of biscuits and weighed three catties of apples.

By the way, Wang Ping's son Wang Gang is also four years old, so buy some too.

So I bought double apples and biscuits.

In the end, he bought another pack of noodles, and Jiang Xiaobai left the department store to go to the meat factory.

It's still the same butcher shop from yesterday.

"Yo, little brother is here again, buy some today?"

The stall owner saw Jiang Xiaobai, this was his last customer yesterday, remembered, and asked with a smile.

Since it was still morning, there was still a lot of meat on the board.

Jiang Xiaobai looked at it, and there was actually a piece of lard, so he asked for it decisively.

"Weigh me the lard, 4 catties of pork belly, cut into 2 catties, and then 1 catty of lean meat." Jiang Xiaobai said.

"Okay."

"How is pork liver sold?"

"Pork liver costs 6 cents a pair."

"I want it."

"Okay."

The stall owner quickly cut the meat, weighed the pork fat, wrapped it, wrapped the pork liver, and handed it to Jiang Xiaobai.

"11 pieces and 8 cents together, you can calculate whether there is anything wrong."

Jiang Xiaobai calculated in his heart, it was this number, so he nodded, and asked again before taking the money to settle the bill: "Big bone, is there anything else?" ”

"Yes."

The stall owner took out the large bones placed in the bamboo basket under the cutting board, and it was the same as yesterday, it was also two.

"I don't need to weigh it, I'll charge you 9 cents."

"Okay."

Jiang Xiaobai gave the stall owner 12 yuan and 7 cents together.

After the big purchase, Jiang Xiaobai returned to Wang Ping's teahouse.

At this time, Wang Ping took advantage of the lack of guests and set up a ladder to help Jiang Xiaobai nail the scaffold.

Build a shelf first, then measure the size and buy a tarpaulin, and then nail the tarpaulin to the shelf, and the shed is considered to be built.

Wang Ping was reliable, Jiang Xiaobai was relieved, and said: "I bought a few apples for Xiaogang, put them on your counter, and remember to take them home for him to eat." ”

Wang Ping said: "It's a waste of money to buy him Moz apples." ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, didn't continue to dwell on this matter, and said: "I won't help with the shed, I have to go back to the bay to buy some artichokes, and it will open tomorrow." ”

"I can handle this alone, and I won't be able to get you covered if it rains tomorrow." Wang Ping said with a smile, and seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, so he hurriedly said: "Bah, bah, tomorrow will definitely be fine." ”

When people don't want to go out on rainy days, it's hard to do business.

That's why Wang Ping changed his tune.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, no matter how you say Huaxia dialect, it makes sense, and said: "It's good if it rains, there is water, and water represents wealth." ”

"It's better to have a sunny day."

Wang Ping said curtly.

The two laughed a few words, Jiang Xiaobai gave Wang Ping 3 yuan and asked him to help buy 100 honeycomb coal.

Wang Ping nodded in agreement.

Jiang Xiaobai originally wanted to buy more honeycomb coal, but he couldn't help it, after giving 3 yuan to Wang Ping, he had 1 cent left on him.

After explaining, Jiang Xiaobai packed the things he wanted to take home.

Dried peppers, spices, and meat were filled with three large snakeskin bags, adding up to forty or fifty catties.

It's not heavy, but the dried chili peppers take up space, so it's only three bags.

There are only two hands, and three bags of things are not easy to hold.

Wang Ping saw it and said, "Otherwise, you should ride my bicycle back, and you can still drag the artichoke tomorrow." ”

"Okay, thank you then."

Jiang Xiaobai didn't shirk it, it was indeed more convenient to have a bicycle.

"What's polite with me?"

"I'd like to see how you sell the kang potatoes."

Wang Ping said with a smile.
