Xiang Nuan transmigrated into a novel set in a bygon...
"Nuannuan, eat here at noon. I'll go cook."
It was time for dinner, and after chatting for a while, Zhao Manman said she would go cook.
Xiang Nuan declined twice and sat down again, because she had something else she wanted to say to Zhao Dahai this time.
Zhao Manman went to the kitchen to cook, leaving the two of them looking at each other in silence, which was quite awkward.
Zhao Dahai didn't know what to talk to her about, and his mind was racing as he thought of what to say.
Xiang Nuan thought of her purpose and spoke first, "Yesterday I saw that all the eggs you made were broken, it's a pity, it must have cost a lot of money, right?"
When Zhao Dahai heard her mention eggs, his eyes flickered and he felt guilty. He laughed and said, "Yes, I wasted a lot of money. My friend's wife is in confinement after childbirth, and eggs are hard to buy. I happened to have relatives in the countryside, so I asked them to help save some money. But I didn't expect that the brakes of my bicycle suddenly failed, and I couldn't eat eggs."
Xiang Nuan knew that what he said was at least half false. There were so many eggs, probably about 6 or 7 kilograms. No one would buy so many at once. It couldn't be a coincidence that the wives of several of his friends were in confinement at the same time.
She smiled and nodded. "Be careful next time. Check your bike regularly."
Zhao Dahai laughed dryly and nodded, "Yes, I've learned my lesson this time. I must pay attention next time."
"You work in a meat processing factory?"
Zhao Dahai laughed, "Yeah, a butcher."
Xiang Nuan smiled, was silent for two seconds, and then said, "Actually, I came here today because I want your help with something."
Zhao Dahai straightened his expression when he heard it, "You tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to help."
Xiang Nuan didn't expect him to agree so readily, and she didn't keep him in suspense. "It's like this. My family needs some money for something. Although this is only the second time we've met, I feel you're a very reliable person. I have a 90% new men's watch from Beijing. Can you help me find out how to sell it? Your efforts won't be in vain, and I'll give you 10% of your hard work fee."
Seeing his surprised look, Xiang Nuan explained, "I also saw that you work in a meat processing factory. The treatment in the meat processing factory is good, and there should be many people who can afford it, so I wanted to ask you for help. My husband is a soldier, and I am afraid that it would be bad if others knew about this in the military area."
Zhao Manman knew her identity, so Zhao Dahai would know it as soon as he asked. There was nothing to hide, so he might as well tell it directly.
Zhao Dahai was so excited after hearing her words. He was worried about having no money. He had lost money on the eggs, and he also needed money for medical treatment and car repairs. Now he was injured and had to miss work. Almost a month's work had been in vain!
A watch can be sold for at least a hundred yuan, and 10% of it is 10 yuan. Just by talking, you can earn half a month's salary. Isn't this a pie in the sky?
He nodded readily, "Okay, I'll help you with this! Did you bring the watch?"
"Yes."
Xiang Nuan knew that he would not refuse, so she smiled and took out the watch from her bag.
Zhao Dahai took the watch and looked at it. It was said to be 90% new and looked no different from a brand new one. He checked the crown again and then looked at Xiang Nuan, "How much do you plan to sell this watch for?"
Xiang Nuan said, "I bought this watch for 128 yuan, but I haven't worn it many times. Do you think anyone would want it for 100 yuan?"
"Want a ticket?"
"No tickets, I need money now."
Yan Fangming receives various subsidy tickets every month. Even though she is an apprentice now, she will also receive some. In addition, the space has everything, so the two of them can't use much at all. The tickets have a time limit, so it is better to exchange them all for cash.
Zhao Dahai nodded, "Okay, I understand. How about you leave the watch with me first, and I'll ask you when you can come over to get the money?"
"Okay, can I come back in three days?"
She believed in her own judgment of people and was not afraid that he would run away. If he performed well, they could continue to work together for a long time.
She has to go to work every day now, and she is a military wife with a poor background, so she has to be careful about everything. If she can develop such a downline and make a little money from time to time, it would be pretty good.
