Chapter 72: Purchasing, Sweeping, Stocking Up, and Picking Up Bargains

The next morning, when Gu Wanxing woke up, it was already noon.

It was half past nine. This was the first time she slept so late since her rebirth.

He sat up and stretched.

It feels so good to have no one to restrict you and to have the final say. She thought about how she was so narrow-minded in her previous life, putting her children and men first in everything. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She went downstairs, walked barefoot to the simple clothes rack she had set up, took out her only dress and put it on.

She made this skirt herself in 1987. At that time, braided skirts were popular on the streets. She thought they looked nice, so she made one herself.

She also specially made a white doll collar, which she added herself. The finished skirts all have shirt collars.

But because I was pregnant with Zhao Chao, I couldn't wear it.

Later, because I had to take care of the children, take care of the house, and work in three shifts, I had no time to dress up, so it was put at the bottom of the box.

The white one with black spots looks pretty good now. She looked at herself in the mirror and made several smiling expressions.

Only when I was satisfied did I go downstairs.

When she came to the back of the house and looked at the field of cucumbers, she was immediately delighted. She had picked a basket of cucumbers last night, but now there was another layer of cucumber buttons on top, each with a yellow flower on top.

Looking at the golden color, it is so beautiful that it is dazzling.

Now I kind of regret not growing tomatoes.

Suddenly I wanted to eat tomato and egg noodles, tomato dumpling soup, and other soupy noodles.

After washing up, Gu Wanxing picked a green and straight cucumber, took a bite, and suddenly felt that she could make a fortune by taking this cucumber out.

Sweet and crispy, this is the first time I think cucumber is so delicious.

While eating, she picked another one, took it back into the house and cut it into shreds.

Stir-fry the green onions and pork belly, add the shredded cucumber into the pan and stir-fry until cooked, then pour in a ladle of well water.

The room was suddenly filled with a rich, refreshing scent of cucumber.

After the water boils, a bowl of cucumber and egg noodles is ready in a few minutes.

The saying that anything produced in this space must be of the highest quality is absolutely true. She drank up all the soup without leaving a single sip.

After eating and drinking, she looked at herself in the mirror and casually put some cold cream on her face.

Now she thinks her skin is good. She is not bragging, it is really good. Her facial features feel more delicate and three-dimensional. It is the first time she feels that her eyes are so clear.

This is thanks to the well water.

I don't know how effective it would be to open a beauty salon with this water...

As soon as the thought came to her mind, she immediately threw it out of her mind. She shouldn't be too greedy. She should just use the things in the space secretly for herself.

She has always believed that everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme.

Half past ten, the largest wholesale market in Guangzhou, Jindi Street.

Gu Wanxing came in a red taxi and originally wanted to take the trolleybus, but she missed it.

She had no choice but to pay extra for a 'red taxi', which cost her five yuan. Nowadays, taxis are Xiali models, and there are only a few of them on the streets, so they are very expensive.

Walking on Jindi Street, all the scenes from my previous life when I started my business suddenly emerged one by one.

She walked into the store she had first worked with, but the person guarding the store was not the familiar Sister Juanzi.

As soon as she entered, an old man came up to her and started talking a lot.

Although she can't speak Cantonese, she can understand it. They had dealt with each other frequently in their previous life, so she naturally understood some of it.

In fact, younger people do not speak standard Mandarin, while the elderly usually speak in local dialects.

"Uncle, I'll take a look myself, you go ahead and do your work."

The old man looked at her shrewdly, nodded, went back inside and sat in the rocking chair.

But his eyes were always on her, intentionally or unintentionally.

Gu Wanxing only took a general look at the styles and left, because the styles were old and not novel, and were not as good-looking as the clothes from the first store on the street.

So Gu Wanxing walked back and forth on Jindi Street. She was not sure what to buy, just looking around and asking about prices.

After shopping around, she had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, so she went to the second-to-last store again and this time took the initiative to find the owner.

"Boss, how much is this batwing shirt and shoulder-strap skirt?"

Before Gu Wanxing could say anything, he curled his eyes.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, and she is a beauty.

So the boss naturally gave her a price very politely.

"The top is twenty-five, the skirt is thirty. If you order more, we'll give you a discount."

Gu Wanxing shook her head: "I just saw her shop up ahead selling the same style as yours, and it's only 15 yuan. This skirt is the same price. Yours is too expensive. I want a lot, and you can't give me a 50% discount. I'd better go over there and have a look."

The woman had curly hair and dressed very fashionably. She was wearing flared jeans, which only became popular in the north in the 1990s.

Gu Wanxing also liked the pants, so she immediately decided to buy them from this store, but she couldn't let the boss rip her off.

As he spoke, Gu Wanxing had already walked out the door.

When the woman saw that she had really left, she hurriedly shouted, "Hey! Don't go, how much do you want~"

The non-standard Mandarin spoken in the south has a long tail.

What makes Gu Wanxing feel very close is that her partner, Sister Juanzi, is just like this.

"I want the same amount for the suspender skirt and batwing shirt. And the pants you're wearing, I don't see them hanging here. If you have any, I want them too."

Hearing this, the woman's eyes lit up, and the person who had been lifeless just now suddenly felt full of energy.

"Do you like these pants?"

she asked tentatively.

"Yes, if you have it, let me see the goods."

Gu Wanxing had a vague guess in his heart, but he wasn't sure if it was correct.

"Look at me, I'm wearing them, so these pants must be good stuff. I'm going to give you this amount."

The female boss held up five fingers mysteriously.

Gu Wanxing thought to herself that she was really mean. These pants only cost a dozen or twenty yuan at most, but she wanted fifty.

But she still had a standard smile on her face, but she deliberately frowned when she saw her hands.

"Five dollars is too much for you? Do I still want to live? Take it or leave it, if you don't want it, forget it. Do you want to just take the batwing shirt and skirt?"

The female boss seemed to realize that her tone was bad, and she softened her attitude with the next sentence, fearing that God would run away.

Gu Wanxing was surprised when he heard this: "You said... five dollars?"

The lady boss said impatiently, "That's right, my friend cheated me out of this batch of goods, so I'm selling it at a low price."

This pair of jeans was actually a style that was just released a few years ago. In Guangzhou, almost every man and woman owned a pair between 1985 and 1986.

At that time, she had just entered this industry and did not consider that the market demand was already saturated. She directly produced a large batch of 10,000 pairs of jeans. After selling them for several years, there were still more than a thousand pairs left.

However, the money from this batch of pants has already been made. As for the remaining goods, I can only make a profit by selling each one. Apart from the effort, it is just a waste of money.

Two minutes later, Gu Wanxing saw this batch of jeans in a corner inside the stall.

Except for a few pieces of outer packaging on the top that are a little dusty, everything underneath should be intact.

Seeing this, she roughly understood that this batch of goods must be outdated, and they wanted to sell it at a low price. Maybe they had already made money.

"How much are there in these three bags?"

Gu Wanxing flipped it over roughly. Although it was damp, there was a packaging bag underneath. He opened it slightly to let it air out and dissipate the musty smell.

It doesn't delay the sale at all.

It may be outdated here, but in the north, it is definitely just emerging.

Why do I say that? Take the train station as an example. Her most intuitive feeling at Shenyang North Station and Guangzhou City Terminal is that they are not from the same era.

She felt like she had taken a train from the 1960s and 1970s to the 1990s. That was how she felt.

The clothes here are really fashionable, worthy of being one of the most developed cities in China.

"Over a thousand pieces, I forgot how many. How many do you want?"

The female boss calculated it for a while, but couldn't figure out the approximate amount, so she just gave a rough estimate.

"This is damp and smells musty. Give me a discount."

Gu Wanxing's eyes were full of smiles, and it made people feel like the warm spring sunshine was shining in their hearts.

They were clearly bargaining, but the lady boss thought this pretty girl was likable.

"Okay, okay, if you want more than five hundred, I'll give you this number."

Although his tone was very impatient, there was a smile in his eyes.
