90s little naughty master

Worrying that one hundred catties of potatoes would go bad if they couldn't be sold out, and afraid of wasting food, several aunties unanimously decided that potatoes will be the main food for the orphanage in the next three days.

Considering balanced nutrition, the children also have a boiled egg for breakfast, and the old dean and volunteer aunts will start eating potatoes in the morning.

When Tao Yan entered the kitchen, he saw Aunt Yao, who was cooking, steaming the cleaned potatoes in an iron pot.Tao Yan had never seen this method before, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face: "Can potatoes be eaten directly?"

"Of course you can. It's like steaming sweet potatoes. In bad years, these are good things to fill your stomach." Aunt Yao said with a smile.Looking at the slightly speechless Tao Yan, Aunt Yao added: "But don't worry, you children have eggs to eat. They are all growing up, and they need to eat well to grow taller."

"Wouldn't it be heartburning to eat potatoes like this?" Huo Baichuan also woke up, rubbing his eyes and heavingly followed behind Tao Yan, not quite able to accept such a rough approach.

"We're all used to it." Aunt Zhao said with a smile, "I've eaten like this for most of my life, how can it be so delicate."

Besides, even if you really have heartburn, eat two more bites of pickled vegetables and you will be relieved.Don't delay things.

Tao Yan sighed softly, walked to the stove, took out the potatoes in the iron pan, and said to Huo Baichuan, "Go and order some noodles."

Huo Baichuan's eyes lit up: "Do you want to make potato pancakes?"

Tao Yan responded, washed his hands once more habitually, picked up the potatoes and began to peel them.

The volunteer aunts looked at each other, and Aunt Zhao asked with lingering fear: "Tao Yan, what are you going to do delicious? Does it cost oil?"

"Fried potato cakes." Tao Yan said lightly.He had already peeled the potatoes, shredded them and put them aside, and chopped up a handful of green onions. Huo Baichuan also prepared the batter and brought it over.

Tao Yan cracked two eggs into the batter, then poured shredded potatoes, chopped green onions and the leftover shredded carrots from last night into the batter and stirred them evenly.Huo Baichuan volunteered to sit in front of the stove and prepare to light a fire.Aunt Zhao stopped me.

"Let me do it!" Aunt Zhao said with a smile: "Our little Tao is amazing, a single potato can make so many tricks. I have to learn."

Tao Yan didn't speak.Brush a layer of oil in the iron pan and heat the pan, then use an iron spoon to scoop up a large spoonful of batter with rich ingredients, pour it into the iron pan and spread it into cakes, spreading seven or eight sheets in a row.There was a sizzling sound in the big iron pot, and the rich aroma rose slowly with the oil temperature.Tao Yan turned seven or eight potato cakes over with a shovel, and fried them until the golden brown potato cakes were bright in color, the edges were slightly burnt, and there were fine oil bubbles.

Volunteer aunts standing on the edge of the stove and watching Taoyan cook involuntarily took a deep breath: "It's so delicious!"

Tao Yan put the baked potato cakes on a plate.It was seven o'clock in the morning.The sun was rising high, and the temperature was gradually rising.Tao Yan wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and took a few steps back, away from the "grilling" range of the stove: "There is still more than half of the pot of potato cakes left, you can bake them yourself. The weather is too hot."

Aunt Yao froze for a moment, then smiled enthusiastically: "We also made mung bean porridge. To clear away the heat and relieve summer heat, I'll get you two bowls."

Tao Yan nodded his thanks.Get ready to take a shower first.

Huo Baichuan brought the baked potato cakes to the cafeteria, and went to serve two bowls of mung bean porridge.The mung bean porridge was boiled when the volunteers came back from the morning market at four o'clock in the morning, and it was cold by now.It tastes smooth and sandy, and the taste is very good.

After Huo Baichuan set the table and chopsticks, he sat there and waited for Tao Yan.

Tao Yan took a cold shower in the backwater room, didn't bother to wipe his hair, and came out wet.Huo Baichuan frowned slightly while watching: "You don't wipe your hair, be careful of headache."

Tao Yan responded casually.He picked up the chopsticks and said, "After breakfast, accompany me to the computer city."

Huo Baichuan blurted out and asked, "Do you want to buy a computer?"

Tao Yan glanced at Huo Baichuan lightly.Huo Baichuan always felt that the expression in Tao Yan's eyes... looked like a fool.

Huo Baichuan came to his senses, and felt that what he said was stupid.Hehe laughed twice, and continued to ask, "What are you doing in Computer City?"

Tao Yan wanted to find a way to assemble computers.

Unlike 30 years later, when most electronic products in the world were clearly and carefully divided into high-end, high-end and low-end markets for different consumption levels, around 1990, selling computers was still a very profitable industry.According to data, it cost 386 yuan to buy a 3.39-type computer at that time. After excluding the importer’s discount, as well as miscellaneous tariffs and other costs, the net profit of each computer was as high as 24%.

That is to say, a computer with a price of 3.39 yuan can earn at least 8136 yuan for every one sold.It is equivalent to two years' wages of ordinary people.

What Tao Yan wanted to do was to sit on the sidelines at the gate of the computer city, and when he saw a potential customer, he went up to talk to him, and tried to persuade the other party to hire him to buy and assemble a computer.In this way, the customer who buys a computer can save a sum of money, and he can also earn a hard fee from it.

Huo Baichuan gave Tao Yan a thumbs up: "That's a good idea!" He thought they were really going to perform on the street.

Tao Yan picked up a piece of potato cake, chewed it slowly, and said slowly: "The initial plan is like this. As for whether it can be successful, it depends on whether the customer buys it or not."

Tao Yan pondered for a while.The time they crossed over was in June, and it was already summer vacation.If it was changed to September, when college students started school, maybe the client would be more deceived—ahem, it would be easier to persuade.

Huo Baichuan persuaded carelessly: "It's okay. It's best if you can guard the rabbit. Even if you can't guard it, it doesn't matter. At worst, we will continue to come back to perform on the street."

When Huo Baichuan was delivering Roujiamo last night, he heard from Uncle Qian that they still had suona at home.Huo Baichuan was eager to try it.I was very sorry that Uncle Qian didn't take out the suona that day, otherwise he and Tao Yan would be able to have a good time with Tao Yan, and the level of performing arts would obviously be raised again.

After hearing Huo Baichuan's emotion, Uncle Qian said with a smile that if Huo Baichuan wanted to play, he could borrow it at any time.

So Huo Baichuan was thinking about when to go out and sell his art again, and also to show everyone his meager but able to hold the audience's music background.

Tao Yan glanced at Huo Baichuan, who suddenly became excited for some reason, and always felt that Young Master Huo seemed to be about to light up a new skill.

After breakfast, Tao Yan and Huo Baichuan inquired about the location of the computer city with the volunteer aunt, and then took out two broken straw hats with torn edges from the warehouse, and then set off slowly.

Jiangzhou City in 90 was not as prosperous and developed as it was 30 years later. There was only one computer city in the whole city.It is said to be a computer city, but it is actually an electronics street.Located in the most prosperous area of ​​the city center.It's not just selling computers, but also selling some electronic products from Hong Kong City or Guangdong Province, such as electronic watches, video game consoles, tape recorders and tapes.

It happened to be nine o'clock in the morning when Tao Yan and Huo Baichuan arrived at Electronic Street by bus.The sun was rising high, exuding scorching heat unscrupulously.Even the air is a little distorted.

The street was buzzing with people rubbing shoulders and heels, it was more lively than Tao Yan imagined.

"Why are there so many people everywhere?" Huo Baichuan complained while fanning Taoyan with a torn straw hat, "It's more crowded than a vegetable market."

In this situation, I still want to sit on the sidelines!It's good not to be squeezed to death by rabbits.

Forgive the two ignorant bumpkins from 30 years later, Tao Yan and Huo Baichuan seldom see so many people in their living area.Not to mention high-end department stores under the impact of e-commerce, even the 24-hour supermarket next to their own community has never gathered so many people.

Tao Yan sighed.Squeeze your way into the crowded crowd, walk forward with the crowd, and pay attention to the computers and accessories on each computer booth.

Chassis, monitor, motherboard, CPU, memory, graphics card, hard disk, optical drive... Tao Yan inquired in detail about the prices and configurations of different brands of computers, and also inquired about the prices of accessories, and made a preliminary estimate of the current market conditions.

Huo Baichuan followed behind Tao Yan, fanning the wind while asking, "How is it, do you have any clues?"

Tao Yan shook his head.He still thinks too simple.It is true that selling computers in the 90s was a profitable industry, but in the 500s when the unit price of each computer was over 90 yuan and the per capita salary was only [-] yuan, not everyone could afford a computer.

Although the crowd on Electronic Street is bustling, it looks lively.Most people are willing to buy small items such as tape recorders, tapes, and electronic watches.As for bulky computers, if you can sell ten units a year, your business is booming.

After all, it was the 90 years when even ten thousand yuan households were scarce!

Tao Yan sighed silently, feeling that his thoughts were too naive.

While pondering secretly, he suddenly heard a commotion behind him.

"It's my bag!" Amidst the woman's screams, Tao Yan turned his head.I saw Huo Baichuan wearing a broken straw hat on his head, holding a skinny boy's wrist with one hand, and stroking the back of the boy's head with the other hand, he said carelessly: "He ran out to steal chickens and dogs at such a young age." , do your adults ignore you?"

"You don't need to meddle in your own business!" The kid had thin arms and legs, and looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.Grinning at Huo Baichuan, he grinned and shouted cursingly: "Let go of me quickly. Do you know who my elder brother is? My elder brother is Brother Dao. If you dare to ruin my affairs, believe it or not, I will kill you!" -"

With a cry of pain, Huo Baichuan twisted the child's arm behind him.

"Continue to scold." Huo Baichuan smiled, but he didn't show mercy at all: "You're going to kill me, so it's okay if I cripple your two arms?"

Sensing the ferocity in Huo Baichuan's words, the child froze, and suddenly stopped cursing.

At this time, the security staff on this street also rushed over.Seeing the child caught by Huo Baichuan, he frowned: "Why is it you again? I said, little three, can you learn something better? Do you really want to enter the juvenile detention center?"

Saying that, he said to Huo Baichuan: "Leave this child to us. Thank you for your brave actions."

Huo Baichuan let go of him.The child took two steps forward, suddenly turned around, and kicked Huo Baichuan's knee fiercely.Huo Baichuan had quick eyesight and quick hands, he held the other's calf and sent him forward, only to hear the boy scream, he staggered up from the ground, and took a few steps back, clutching his buttocks.

Huo Baichuan was still smiling, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Without waiting for the child to speak, Huo Baichuan said to himself again: "It's fine if it hurts. This is to tell you, if your center of gravity is unstable, don't kick your child casually."

The security staff took a look at Huo Baichuan, but said nothing.The woman whose bag was almost touched by the boy led a slim girl of seventeen or eighteen years old to Huo Baichuan, and thanked Huo Baichuan with a smile: "Young man, I really thank you just now. If it wasn't for you, Auntie's bag would have been taken by someone." stole."

Huo Baichuan waved his hand casually: "It's easy."

"It's easy for you, but it's not for me." The woman put her arms around the bag, thinking with lingering fear: This is our family's savings for several years.

Huo Baichuan walked up to Tao Yan, looked at the thoughtful Tao Yan, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you looking at?"
