Chapter 34: Blessings

Ever since he discovered that every time he drove Jiang Youcheng's family, his rickshaw business was better than usual, he really enjoyed driving for this family.

Jiang Chunshi didn't have much stuff with him, so they all got in the same car and left together.

On the way, when walking out of the village, I met several villagers who were going to the market.

"Sister Zhao is going to the market?"

"Yes, go sell some duck eggs." Zhao responded with a smile.

"I don't remember you raising ducks at home. Where did these duck eggs come from?"

"It's really rare. A few wild ducks flew into our house and competed with the chickens for food. At first, I was very annoyed and just wanted to chase them away. But the next day, there were more duck eggs at home. Seeing this, I just kept these ducks. Look, I saved them for several days and saved half a basket. I thought I could go to town to exchange them for some soy sauce, vinegar, etc."

"Hey, is this money falling from the sky?"

"Of course, luck comes, and nothing can stop it..."

Going further, I met Sun.

Sun's bamboo basket was loaded with fish and shrimps. It was said to be a shrimp basket for lowering into the river. In the past, one was lucky if they could catch a few shrimps. But when they went to catch it last night, it was full of small fish and shrimps. They couldn't finish eating them at home, so they went to the market to sell them.

Later, it was Jiang Liushun who said he wanted to go into the mountains to pick some mountain products. He came across a wild peach tree. The peaches on the tree were big and red, and tasted sweet. He picked two large baskets full of them and brought back.

…

People going to the market chatted with each other on the way.

As we chatted, we found that we were all the same. The things we were going to sell at the market were all unexpected gains, real pie in the sky.

"Well, it would be fine if there was only one family in our village, but it's a bit unreasonable that so many families in our village can all have such good luck."

"What's wrong with that? God has given me blessings, not just one by one, but piece by piece."

"I say, have you noticed that our families all went to Jiang Youcheng's house to help build a house some time ago?"

"Don't mention it, it's true. We are the ones who worked from the beginning to the end."

"You say, we suddenly have such good luck and unexpected wealth, could it be because of the blessing of Jiang Youcheng's family?"

"It's hard to say. Haven't you seen how prosperous Jiang Youcheng's family is now? Not only is their daughter doing well, but they are also making a lot of money. They built a new house as soon as they said they would, and it's so big. Isn't this a blessing?"

"So according to you, we should get closer to his family in the future and get more blessings?"

"For things like this, it's better to believe it than not. We're all from the same village, so there's nothing wrong with visiting each other more often."

"Yeah, but don't tell anyone right now. If you talk too much, your good fortune will be gone."

"No, no..."

Jiang San was still preparing to do other work, and the ox cart was driving fast, so Jiang Youcheng, Jiang Mixia and others walked fast in the front and did not hear those people's discussions. They were only thinking about how to set up the stall when they arrived in the town later.

Things like bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, and benches should be sold on West Street, while small items like needlework baskets and wooden carved dolls are considered delicate items and should be sold on East Street.

So, the four of them discussed it and decided that Jiang Youcheng and Jiang Chunshi would take the big items to West Street, while Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun would take the small items to East Street.

The two sides acted separately.

East Street is busier than West Street, and looks cleaner and more prosperous.

Because they arrived early, there were many open spaces in good locations. Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun chose a suitable one and set up a stall to sell their wares.

A sewing basket is something that almost every household needs. As soon as the things were put out, someone came to ask the price.

"The one with lining cloth is forty cents, and the one without lining cloth is thirty cents. No bargaining." Jiang Mixia replied.

"Hey, this thing you sell is not cheap." The woman who came to ask the price was an old lady. She smacked her lips and said, "It's only twenty-five cents elsewhere."

"You should sell at the right price for what you want. Look at our basket. It's not only smooth, but the joints are all hidden inside, so it won't get caught on the needlework or your hands. And the bottom of the basket, you see, has a special bottom, it's thick and durable, and it's also dirt-proof and waterproof. If you accidentally put it on a wet table, the needlework won't get dirty."

Jiang Mixia explained, "I'm not afraid that you'll go look elsewhere and compare. Ours may seem a few cents more expensive, but it's really convenient to use. When you buy cheap things, you think they're cheap, but when you use them, they're not convenient at all. How long will it take you to be upset?"

The aunt held the needlework basket and looked left and right. It was exactly as Jiang Mixia said. She couldn't help but nodded, but said, "Don't try to coax me. I'll go take a look somewhere else and come back later."

"Okay." Jiang Mixia did not take the initiative to stop her, but just watched the aunt leave.

Not long after, the lady came back and said nothing else. She just took out the purse and counted the money. "I want two, one with lining and one without."

"Okay, seventy cents in total." Jiang Mixia took the money and gave her the things.

The first business deal at the market today went very smoothly.

But it was also expected.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Jiang Youcheng's craftsmanship is impeccable, and under her persuasion, he weaved an edge on the bottom. This kind of sewing basket is like having a base, which is indeed not easy to get water or dirt on it.

Most farmers get their food and drink from the fields, but they have to buy many of their clothes. Cloth and needlework are not cheap, so most farmers cherish them. Such thoughtful designs are naturally popular.

Jiang Mixia felt a great sense of accomplishment and shouted louder than before.

Soon, a group of people gathered around.

"good."

“It looks very durable.”

“It’s very elaborate.”

"I want one without the lining."

"Two with linings."

"One with it, one without..."

Looking at a group of women, young and old, buying needlework baskets here, as if they were scrambling to buy them, Jiang Mixia herself opened her mouth wide.

"Dear sisters-in-law, aunts and grandmas, what are you doing..."

Are they here to do group buying and wholesale? "Don't be scared, young lady, we are just buying things normally." An elderly lady said with a smile, "We saw that Bai bought this needlework basket, so we all came to buy it."

Since she opened her stall, only the auntie who just compared prices from three stores has come to buy something. The Bai that the auntie mentioned must be her.

but……

"Then let me ask you one more thing. Why did Aunt Bai come to buy a sewing basket and you guys want to buy one too?" Jiang Mixia said.

"You must be new to East Street." A slightly younger woman interrupted, "You look a little unfamiliar. No wonder you don't know this."
