The next morning.

Jiang Xiaobai used the meat left over yesterday to fry a large bowl of shredded green pepper meat as a whistle, cooked noodles for his wife and daughter, and added a poached egg to each of them.

Too early, he pulled a handful of green onions in the vegetable garden, went to the bamboo garden to pull a large barn of coriander, brought the condiments he had prepared last night, and tied two bags of small artichokes to the back seat of the 28 bars.

"Wife, I'm going into the city, I have to go early to open today."

Jiang Xiaobai greeted and pushed the bicycle to prepare to go.

"Well, you ride slowly."

Lin Jiayin was really not optimistic about Jiang Xiaobai's kang artichoke business, so she didn't say anything else, only instructed.

Hehe, my wife still cares about me, tell me to slow down.

Even if it was just that, Jiang Xiaobai was still overjoyed.

"Baba, come on!"

Jiang Shan also heard that Baba was going to the city to do business and make money, and said in a milky voice.

Jiang Xiaobai is broken, it's still a little padded jacket, intimate.

"Thank you, my little princess, be good at home, and Dad will come back in the evening to make you something to eat."

After saying goodbye to his wife and daughter, Jiang Xiaobai went to the city with confidence.

Wang Ping and his wife are not optimistic about his kang artichoke business, he just wants to make this business popular, so that they will be impressed.

With the vision of later generations, decades of business experience, and craftsmanship comparable to a food master, he doesn't believe that his kang potatoes don't sell well.

When he arrived at the teahouse and saw Wang Ping's awning, Jiang Xiaobai was quite satisfied.

He was already imagining the scene when the kang potatoes were made, and the sales were booming.

"It's pretty early."

When Wang Ping saw Jiang Xiaobai coming, he beckoned to help unload the two bags of potatoes on the bicycle, carried one bag into the house and put it in the utility room, and the remaining bag was put outside, Jiang Xiaobai said that he would use it later.

Honeycomb coal stoves, pans, large plastic pots, small enamel pots, vegetable oil and other things were also moved out, and Wang Ping specially brought him a table.

Everything was ready, Jiang Xiaobai first poured out dozens of catties of small potatoes, washed them with water, and then scraped the skin.

It was still early in the morning, there were no guests in the teahouse, and Wang Ping was idle to help scrape the potatoes.

It didn't take long for the two of them to scrape a large basin.

"Scrape a lot."

Although Jiang Xiaobai is confident in his business, after all, it is the first day, and he doesn't know how much he can sell.

"Okay, do you think you want me to help with it?"

Wang Ping nodded and said.

"No need, you're busy, I'll burn the kang and come out first."

Wang Ping's teahouse also uses a honeycomb coal stove to make tea, and he has a good fire when he comes in the morning, and Jiang Xiaobai only needs to pick a coal from his stove to make a fire.

It was done quickly.

However, the newly added coal in Jiang Xiaobai's coal stove had to be ignited before he could start cooking potatoes.

It takes a little time.

"Kidnapping!"

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaobai exclaimed.

"What's boring?"

Wang Ping was almost taken aback by Jiang Xiaobai and hurriedly asked.

"I just wanted to sell the artichoke kang well, and I forgot that I didn't have anything to pack, and even if the customer bought it, he couldn't take it away."

Jiang Xiaobai smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

Alas, it's really the details that determine success or failure.

I didn't expect it to be an oolong on the first day of opening.

"You're doing this, so what's going on?"

Wang Ping is also very helpless, there are only teacups and tea bowls in his teahouse, so he can't let Jiang Xiaobai's customers take tea bowls to fill kang potatoes, right?

Well, even if you let customers serve kang potatoes in tea bowls, you can eat them here. But most of these stalls are for customers to take away, so you can't let customers take away the tea bowls, right?

How much is a bowl of kang artichoke worth?

You can't even buy a tea bowl.

"Don't be in a hurry! Don't worry! I'm trying to figure it out. ”

Jiang Xiaobai quickly calmed down, and instead persuaded Wang Pingdao.

In later generations, disposable dishes and chopsticks were used to sell snacks on the street, and disposable dishes and chopsticks could be bought in any supermarket in those days, which was very convenient.

But because it was so convenient, Jiang Xiaobai actually forgot that he was a reborn person according to his inertial thinking, and it was still the early eighties, and there were no disposable dishes and chopsticks entering the market at this time.

Jiang Xiaobai thought for a moment, closed the damper of the honeycomb coal stove, and said to Wang Ping: "Don't kang potatoes first, I'll go out first." ”

Wang Ping nodded, "Go ahead, I'll take care of the things for you." ”

"This ...... You get me 5 bucks first. Jiang Xiaobai said.

When he came out in the morning, thinking that he would have money if he sold the kang potatoes today, he didn't ask Lin Jiayin for money when he left, and he didn't have a penny on him.

At this time, I want to go out to do errands, but I can't use the money, so I have to borrow from Wang Ping.

"Okay."

Wang Ping didn't say much, as a brother, he can't drop the chain at a critical moment.

Jiang Xiaobai took 5 yuan, got on the bicycle and left.

This is not difficult for him, there are no disposable dishes and chopsticks yet, so let's get it out, and it's not high-tech, paper mills and printing factories can do it.

No one has done it yet, just because no one has figured it out yet.

"Cheap printing house!"

Jiang Xiaobai thought about it, but decided to go directly to the printing house.

There are two printing houses in Qingzhou City, one is the Qingzhou City Printing Factory, and the other is the newspaper printing house under the "Qingzhou Daily".

In the previous life, Jiang Xiaobai didn't have much to do with the printing house, but he still knew the location of the two printings.

The Qingzhou City Printing Factory is in the south of the city, far away, and the Qingzhou Newspaper Office is on Qingzhou Road, very close to here, Jiang Xiaobai rode straight to the Qingzhou Newspaper Office.

Five minutes later, Jiang Xiaobai arrived at the door of the Qingzhou newspaper.

After parking the bicycle, Jiang Xiaobai did not immediately enter the newspaper office, but walked into the new street next to the newspaper office.

Xinjian Street is said to be a street, but it is actually an alley.

Don't underestimate this alley, in the early 80s, there were many bold small traders and peddlers who made a lot of money selling all kinds of in-demand materials privately, and some of these people later became big bosses.

In the previous life, Jiang Xiaobai also walked around Xinjian Street, and he was very familiar with it.

He walked in for more than 200 meters before stopping in front of a newly renovated private room.

"Bang bang bang!"

After a knock on the door, a young voice came from inside: "Who?" ”

"It's Andy, right?"

Jiang Xiaobai asked.

"Crunch!"

The door was halfway opened, and a handsome young man with long hair came out of it, looked at Jiang Xiaobai, he had never seen it, and asked vigilantly, "What do you have to do with me?" ”

"Smoke, is there any?" Jiang Xiaobai asked directly.

"Nope!"

Liu Qianghua didn't think about it, and shook his head directly.

In these days, there is no private cigarette sales, and if you are caught, you will go to jail.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, quite cautious.

Helpless, I had to say: "Don't worry, it will definitely not be Lei who can be found, Brother Hao introduced it." ”

The so-called Brother Hao, called Zhang Zihao, also sells private goods.

It's just that Zhang Zihao is not selling cigarettes, but more in-demand electronic products, such as radios or something, which are very famous in Xinjian Street.

Jiang Xiaobai had dealt with Zhang Zihao in his previous life, and knew that there was such a person, and when he saw Liu Qianghua being cautious at this time, he used Zhang Zihao's name to pull the tiger skin as a banner.

"It turned out to be introduced by Brother Hao, so I said it earlier."

Liu Qianghua immediately changed his smile, opened the door to let Jiang Xiaobai in, and said with a smile.
