Chapter 469 Only 2 sets

Bai Meixi kept hoping that the rice here would mature soon, so that her little treasury could regain its vitality. After a few minutes of silent meditation on the rice seedlings, she returned to the big kitchen and helped Aunt Liu clean up the evening meal. plate.

Most of the people who come to Puhai for business are in a hurry and don’t bring their own tableware. Everyone uses Baimeixi’s bowls and chopsticks. After a meal, there are hundreds of dishes that need to be washed. Aunt Liu’s hands are soaked all year round. In cold water, it has become very rough.

Bai Meixi wanted to prepare a pair of rubber gloves for Aunt Liu, but in this era, household rubber gloves had not been invented yet. There were only black gloves used to catch fish in the fish market. Those rubber gloves were big, bulky and not practical at all. It greatly reduces the dishwashing efficiency in the kitchen and is not suitable for use here.

The production of casing gloves was too troublesome. Bai Meixi mentioned it to Aunt Liu twice, but she didn't care. Each time she said that she was used to doing rough work and had no need for that kind of thing.

"Xiao Hu, you don't need to help us here. With just a few dishes and chopsticks, the two of us can wash them in a while. We took so much wages from you, so we deserve to do some work." Aunt Liu was unwilling to let Bai Meixi help. They felt that If you take the money, you should do all the work yourself. There is no reason to ask your employer to help with the work.

What's more, Bai Meixi's hands are very soft, and she doesn't look like someone who does rough work at all. Being soaked in cold water for a long time will damage her skin.

"It's okay, Aunt Liu. I used to do rough work. Let's finish it early and rest early." Bai Meixi didn't care about this. When she worked in the mine before, her hands were often rubbed by tools until they cracked and bled. It hurts so much every day that I can't touch it, and it hurts so much when I soak it in water at night.

At that time, her hands were often scarred, old wounds were not healed and new wounds were added, and there were dry and bloody wounds everywhere. In the end, she relied on the spiritual spring water in the space to slowly heal them. Otherwise, Aunt Liu and the others would never think that She is a fairy. How can a fairy not even be able to heal a small wound on her hand?

With Bai Meixi's help, the kitchen work was completed quickly. Bai Meixi specially boiled a pot of warm spiritual spring water and let everyone soak their hands in it. The spiritual spring water was particularly comfortable, even Liu My aunt can feel that her skin is much moisturized.

After finishing the work in the kitchen, Bai Meixi returned to her room to sleep. She looked at the location of the carriage through the connecting door and found that everything was normal. The train was moving steadily and it would reach Jilu in 10 hours. Market.

Bai Meixi lay on the bed and set the alarm clock to 8:09 in the morning. When she got up at this time, she could easily have breakfast and then get off the car before 30:[-] in the morning.

This plan went smoothly. The train stopped at Jilu City on time the next morning without further delay. After Bai Meixi got off the train, she went directly to the ticket office.

Jilu City is a small city and not worth staying for too long. Baimeixi's destination is the capital, the most prosperous city in the country. It is a more prosperous place than Puhai City and can also find more business opportunities.

She bought a train ticket for that night and left Jilu City on time at 19:7.3 for the capital. She would arrive early tomorrow morning and it would cost [-] yuan.

It was now less than 12 hours before the train departed. Bai Meixi calculated the ingredients needed for two meals and started purchasing at the farmer's market in Jilu City. This place was indeed much behind Puhai City, and the dishes in the market were very single. , except for cabbage, it is almost impossible to buy any vegetables, and even the supply of pork is very limited. There is a smell of the coming cold winter everywhere.

"Why are there only a few kilograms of pork? I have national food stamps and money. I want to buy 100 kilograms." Bai Meixi saw the few kilograms of pork in front of her and felt that it was not enough for Aunt Liu and her family. Such a small amount was impossible. Make fast food. "It's not the Chinese New Year, so how can there be so much pork supply? I don't think you are from this city. Why do you want so much pork? Are you just speculating?" The market staff were very vigilant. Jilu City's economic level is not high. Usually there are few people buying meat, and no one buys even the pigs that are killed. Over time, the supply on the market has also decreased a lot. People like Bai Meixi often buy 100 kilograms of meat, and they only see it during the Chinese New Year and festivals. .

Bai Meixi had no choice but to give up. She couldn't buy so much pork and couldn't find the black market. She could only change the menu and add braised pork with pickled vegetables to the menu. She also bought dried gluten and bean cakes. Grain dishes, as well as meat dishes such as eggs, chicken, and beef.

In addition to selling fast food, these dishes also cover the daily needs of Aunt Liu and her family. The overall cost is close to 400 yuan.

These things made Bai Meixi's small treasury almost bankrupt. If she couldn't make the money back as soon as possible, her life at the next stop would be in question.

Bai Meixi immediately returned to the space and made all these ingredients into fast food. In addition to braised fish and braised pork with pickled vegetables, there are also new dishes such as chicken stewed with vermicelli, scrambled eggs, and cabbage stir-fried with fragrant dried vegetables.

These new dishes have both strong northern characteristics and the sweet and salty taste of southern cuisine, which makes travelers from all over the world extremely satisfied. Baimeixi sold 300 fast food dishes in one noon, among which braised pork with pickled vegetables and braised pork sold the most. 120 servings.

This time Bai Meixi did not use black market pork and added cheap prune vegetables, which increased the overall profit a lot. Her net profit reached 195 yuan at noon, which basically met Bai Meixi's expectations.

Her small coffers continued to increase steadily, and the profit from selling fast food at night could basically reach four to five hundred yuan. This gave Bai Meixi confidence again. She put her things into the warehouse, took out her bicycle, and prepared to arrive. Visit the nearby post office to see if you can buy a few more sets of Wen 10 stamps, and seize the last opportunity.

There are not many post offices in Jilu City, and they are not far apart. It only took Baimeixi two hours to visit all the post offices in the city. As a result, the situation here is no better than that in Puhai City.

"Where are the Wen 10 stamps now? They've been sold out for a long time. Do you want two more sets of poems?" The staff at the post office looked at Bai Meixi with a very strange look. This was the first time they had seen a buyer. You also have to choose a pattern for the stamps.

In their eyes, stamps are just a tool for sending letters. As long as the postage on the stamp is right, no matter which pattern is used, it will be the same.

"Then give me those two sets of poetry stamps." Bai Meixi was a little disappointed. Wen 10 stamps and poetry stamps have been issued for too long. Even a small place like Jilu City has replaced them with new stamps. Others The local situation is even less optimistic.

Bai Meixi put two sets of poetry stamps into the space. These were her only gains in Jilu City. She looked at the time and saw that it was still early before the time to sell fast food in the evening. She planned to walk around and visit Jilu City. Scenic spots in Shandong.
