Chapter 73 The Curse of Snack Street

"We haven't been able to visit that place lately. We'll go there in a few days." Su Jiaojiao had a good impression of Li Li and offered her a bench to sit on. "Sister Li Li, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"I heard from Auntie that you're from Wutong Village?" Li Li sat down on the dirty stool without a scorn. "Well, my husband opened a small restaurant and is looking for a reliable person to deliver seasonal seafood. Could you please make that contact? I trust you."

"You've opened a restaurant! Congratulations!" Su Jiaojiao immediately thought of Chen Juan and said hurriedly, "There's someone like that. She's my cousin, and she's even more reliable than me. Where is your restaurant?"

"Haha, how can you talk like that? Who is more reliable than you?" Li Li was amused by her. "It's right over by the Jiaoxian Market, easy to find. We've already decorated the restaurant entrance. It's called Yimuyuan Restaurant."

"Okay, I'll ask her. If she agrees, I'll let her come to you." Su Jiaojiao was very happy to do this. She had originally planned to bring Chen Juan to the city to sell clothes together after her life was stable. If Chen Juan could deliver seafood to restaurants and start a new business, that would also be good.

"Okay, that's settled." Li Li took out a business card from her bag and gave it to her. "Just find us at this address."

"I'll give you an answer within two days." Su Jiaojiao put away the business card and even took out the down jacket to show her. "Sister Li Li, if you need a down jacket, take a look at what I have here. We have long, medium, and short styles. The quality is excellent, and they're all made of duck down."

Li Li has a good temper and good taste.

She was happy to deal with this person, mainly because he could afford such clothes and was her target customer group.

"Oh, it's so beautiful." Li Li immediately fell in love with a long black down jacket and called out to Su Xiumei, "Xiumei, come here quickly. This down jacket is really nice."

"You carry it first, I'll wait for you at the intersection ahead." Su Xiumei couldn't stay any longer. It was hard to imagine that Li Li was chatting enthusiastically with that girl. She was speechless.

"You're such an old-fashioned person." Li Li teased Su Xiumei and then said to Su Jiaojiao, "Xiao Su, pack this one for me. I also want these sweaters."

"Sister Li Li, you're also an old customer of mine, so I'll definitely give you a discount." Su Jiaojiao used a calculator to calculate for her. "I sell this down jacket for 300 yuan, and I'll discount it to 260 yuan for you. No one else will pay less than this price. And these clothes are 40 yuan each, so you can just give me 20 yuan. That's 280 yuan in total."

"Oh, Xiao Su, how can I be so embarrassed?" Li Li was really a little embarrassed. A down jacket like this would cost more than 300 yuan in Hualian Department Store. She knew the price. Su Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Sister Li Li, you don't have to say this because we are friends. If you bring someone to buy a down jacket next time, I will still give you the same price."

The most solid thing in interactions between people is the exchange of interests.

Rather than relying on friendship.

No matter how good a relationship is, if it is not bound by interests, it will eventually become just an acquaintance.

"Okay, okay, I'll promote your clothes around the factory. I'm sure people will come and buy them." Li Li paid the money readily, took the clothes, and excitedly caught up with Su Xiumei and her daughter. Seeing Xu Yuxiang also holding a few clothes, she smiled and asked, "Auntie, how much are your clothes?"

"Eighty..." Xu Yuxiang answered casually.

"Haha, it looks pretty good." Li Li laughed heartily.

Su Jiaojiao really gave her a bargain.

And it’s a lot cheaper.

At noon that day, Su Jiaojiao called the village committee. As soon as the committee called out over the village loudspeaker, Chen Juan trotted over to answer the phone. Upon learning about this matter, she was both happy and worried. "We have small boats going out to sea now, but I'm worried what if they don't like the small fish or shrimp?"

"It's okay. They want seasonal seafood." Su Jiaojiao didn't really understand this. "Well, why don't you go to the Yimutian Restaurant near the Jiaoxian Market tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to see what they specifically need. If they're okay with it, we'll deliver it. If not, forget it. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Okay, I'll go tomorrow." There is not much work in the fields this season, so Chen Juan knits sweaters and cooks at home. It would be best if she could deliver seafood to a restaurant. She is not afraid of hard work.

"Don't go there empty-handed. Just get some seafood from the village and send it over," Su Jiaojiao reminded her. "As for the price, it's okay if it's slightly lower than the market price. The market price is the retail price, which is different from delivering to restaurants."

"Okay, I got it." Chen Juan answered readily, "I'll go to the restaurant tomorrow and then come find you."

"If this job can last long, it would be nice for Juan'er to earn some pocket money." Chen Guilan was also very happy. "Juan'er is a hardworking child. She is tied down by her family. If your second aunt is in good health, she can also come out to work and earn money."

"I know." Su Jiaojiao has never forgotten Chen Juan, nor has she forgotten Liu Ying and all the people who have been good to her. When she recovers, she will spare no effort to help them.

She just has one more life experience, she is not a god, and she has to slowly adapt to and explore many things.

After all, she was walking a different path from her previous life, and she had to go through some twists and turns.

The only difference is that she is more calm than others.

The snack street is indeed cursed.

The cheap goods sold very well. The more expensive cotton-padded jackets and trousers were sold out after more than half a month, and there were still several sets left. The newly arrived down jackets were not selling at all. Except for the one Li Li took, not a single one was sold all day.

"Is it because people don't recognize this brand?" Chen Guilan has been able to spend more than 100 yuan every day these days, so she thinks doing business is not a difficult thing. However, she can't sell any of these down jackets, and she is a little anxious.

"No, this brand is also available in Hualian Department Store." Su Jiaojiao felt that it was not a problem of brand, but a problem of location. Although some well-known brands have emerged in the market in this era, the prices are also expensive.

For down jackets at this price, people often don’t pay much attention to the brand. You can tell whether it is worth the price by looking at the style, fabric and workmanship.

The next day, Su Jiaojiao rode her bicycle to find Liu Ying.

What she needs to do now is to go out more and understand the market.

Passing by Hualian Shopping Mall, she bought a bag of freshly roasted melon seeds and peanuts and put them in the basket. No matter how familiar she was with Liu Ying, she couldn't go empty-handed.

At nine in the morning, Wujiaohua Restaurant hadn't opened yet. Liu Ying was mopping the floor in the lobby, chatting and laughing with others. When she saw Su Jiaojiao coming over, she ran over quickly and asked in surprise, "Jiaojiao, are you guys on winter vacation?"
