Chapter 98
Li Ye rode his bike around the county for half a circle, felt there was nowhere to go, and simply drove out of the city towards Shuangliu Town.
The bumpy township roads severely restricted the speed of the Happiness 250. Li Ye rode for half an hour on the thirty or forty li road.
Today is the day of the Shuangliu Town fair. On the river beach outside the town government, thousands of people from the surrounding villages gathered.
The day before yesterday, Li Ye asked Han Chunlan to come here to get malt sugar, but he didn't know where she was setting up a stall.
Li Ye's motorcycle was very eye-catching. Before he reached the edge of the fair, he saw Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng waving at him by the river.
Li Ye drove over and stopped, "You came here yourself?"
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng joked, "The things ordered by you, Boss Li Ye, can I not pay attention and come to see?"
Li Ye shook his head, "I told you not to pay too much attention, just treat them as ordinary relationships."
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng said, "I know, I know, I let Xiao Qiu watch, help you see their depth, so you don't get fooled."
Li Ye said unhappily, "How could I be fooled?"
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng smiled and didn't speak again. The Han family's affairs had been circulating in Qingshui County for several months, and it had only calmed down now. Are you, Li Ye, remembering to eat but not remembering to be beaten?
。。。。。。
Han Chunlan got up very early today and pushed a small cart with her husband Niu Dali to Shuangliu Town.
Although Li Ye's words the night before last were very childish, the couple could only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, listening and believing.
Her father-in-law died early, and her husband Niu Dali was an only son brought up by her mother-in-law. All the burdens had to be carried by the couple themselves, with no brothers or sisters to help.
When she married over, her father demanded a large dowry, which emptied the Niu family of everything. They had just finished paying off the famine, and then encountered this unlucky thing.
If she, Han Chunlan, didn't think of a way, should she let the two children eat chaff and vegetables?
Risk it, make money.
When the couple rushed to the Shuangliu Town market, it was only four or five o'clock, the sky was just getting bright, but many people had already occupied the territory to set up stalls.
Han Chunlan turned around and found that there was only one young man who looked like he was selling malt sugar.
He rode a very rare human-powered tricycle, with several large bundles on the car, and two large sacks.
Outside the sack, there was a pinch of malt sugar, eating while looking around, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like he is here to do business.
Han Chunlan leaned over and asked, "Brother, are you selling malt sugar?"
The young man glanced at Han Chunlan and asked directly, "What's your surname?"
Han Chunlan was stunned and replied, "My surname is Han, what is your surname, brother?"
"Exempt from expensive surname Qiu."
After the young man finished speaking, he took out a large scale and said, "Come, give me a hand."
Han Chunlan hurriedly helped him lift the scale and weigh the two large sacks on the ground.
"A total of 202 catties, count it as 200 catties, sign it."
Xiao Qiu took out a slip of paper and asked Han Chunlan to sign it.
Han Chunlan only went to elementary school, carefully read the words on the slip twice, before confirming that this was a credit slip.
These two hundred catties of malt sugar were sold to her on credit, and the price was five cents.
Han Chunlan took out the handkerchief that held the money and said, "Brother, I didn't plan to buy on credit, you count..."
Xiao Qiu raised his head: "Do you want it or not?"
"."
Han Chunlan was stunned for a long time, so she had to lower her head and say, "Want, want."
She signed the credit slip, called her husband Niu Dali over, loaded the sugar onto the small pushcart, and was about to leave.
Xiao Qiu stopped them: "Sigh? Isn't there a stall here? Where are you going?"
Han Chunlan smiled, "Brother, you set up a stall here, how can we still snatch business? We are going to other places."
Xiao Qiu said, "No need, this small business is transferred to you in the future, I changed to sell something else."
"Small business?"
Han Chunlan didn't understand, but she soon saw what Xiao Qiu's "big business" was.
Xiao Qiu untied the bundles on the tricycle, revealing colorful skirts, as well as neat shirts and pants.
In addition, Xiao Qiu also took out a large photo and hung it in a conspicuous place at the stall, looking like some kind of certificate, with an official seal on it.
Niu Dali couldn't understand the official seal, but those flower skirts made his eyes dazzle, just thinking that if his wife could wear a flower skirt, it would definitely be very beautiful.
"What are you looking at, why don't you pull the stall open and prepare to shout?"
Han Chunlan turned her head away from those flower skirts, urging her husband to set up their own stall, waiting for guests to come to the door.
She was very uneasy, afraid that no one would pull, afraid that she wouldn't make money, and work in vain.
However, the situation was better than she imagined.
In the summer of 1982, people were still poor, but a few cents was not a number that couldn't be taken out.
Sweets, in this era, had strong lethality to foodies of all ages,
many villagers who came to the fair, after selling their agricultural products and handicrafts, would also spend three or five cents to bring a large bag of snacks to coax the children and honor the elderly.
Three or five cents seemed inconspicuous, but small business is about accumulating little to make more. By the time the fair was about to disperse, Han Chunlan felt that her pocket actually had full money.
Although most of them were small notes and selling notes, money is something, even if it is steel coins, it can give people a full sense of stability.
"Dali, you calculate how many catties were sold?"
"I didn't calculate! I was too busy, didn't count."
"You silly goods, can't you see how much sugar is left?"
"Oh oh... one bag left, plus a small half bag..."
Han Chunlan calculated quickly, calculated several times, before estimating that she actually sold sixty or seventy catties of sugar.
If this continues for a long time...
【Li Ye is really not a liar. When he said earning one thousand a year, he really can earn one thousand!】
"Dali, you said if we... what are you looking at?"
Han Chunlan happily shared the joy with her husband, but found that he always looked at the clothing stall next to them.
Today, the couple made money, but compared to Xiao Qiu's clothing stall next door, it was simply a small witch seeing a big witch.
Since Xiao Qiu opened the stall, the business had never stopped.
A group of people surrounded his stall, you want one, I want one, and the money was collected until the hands were soft.
At the busiest time, Han Chunlan even let Niu Dali go over to help, help maintain order, otherwise it felt like it was going to be snatched.
At this moment, seeing Xiao Qiu was about to sell out, it was a lie to say Niu Dali wasn't jealous.
Han Chunlan kicked her husband hard.
"Dali, be a person down-to-earth, don't look at that mountain high from this mountain, our malt sugar business hasn't been figured out yet! What are you looking at others for?"
"I'm not greedy, I'm not... I just want to buy you a skirt, it will be sold out if I don't buy it."
Niu Dali explained awkwardly, feeling as aggrieved as a child who made a mistake.
Han Chunlan said angrily, "What do I want a skirt for? Can I work if I wear that skirt? You think about those useless things, hurry up and shout for me, sell it out and we will settle the account with others."
Owing others money, Han Chunlan was not at ease. How much can be returned today, return as much as possible first.
But when the fair dispersed, she wanted to return part of the money first, but Xiao Qiu refused.
"These two hundred catties were sold to you on credit, pay cash when you get goods next time, in addition..."
Xiao Qiu threw a skirt to Niu Dali: "Thank you, big brother, for helping me just now, this is a gift for sister-in-law, don't dislike it."
"This can't, this can't."
Niu Dali took the skirt smoothly, but insisted on paying.
The three people pushed back and forth, and finally Xiao Qiu collected a cost of three yuan and five.
"Brother, the cost of your skirt... is only three yuan and five?"
"Why? Moved?"
Xiao Qiu blew a smoke ring, looking at Niu Dali with a smile.
Just now Xiao Qiu sold the skirt for seven or eight yuan each.
Really black.
Niu Dali Qiu sold and shook his head: "No no no, I'm not greedy, brother, don't worry, I'll keep it secret for you."
。。。。。。
After the fair dispersed, Xiao Qiu rushed to the riverside a few miles away and met Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng and Li Ye.
"Brother Peng, I've seen it, I feel the two people are still okay, kind-hearted, not greedy, and their hearts are warm, but I can't guarantee it in the future."
"Alright, go do your work!"
After Xiao Qiu left, Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng asked Li Ye: "What to do in the future? Develop your aunt into a wholesaler?"
Li Ye said calmly, "Wait and see, opportunities should be left to kind people, left to people who know how to be grateful."
"Hmm."
Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng touched his inch-long top, and began to ponder in his heart.
Kind people, people who know how to be grateful, isn't that the kind of person I am?
Hey~
Old Feng will code words after hanging the bottle tomorrow, and add more in the evening. I hope everyone will support me a lot.
