Chapter 48 Coincidence or Careful Design
Jiang Jun’s words are full of contradictions.
Meng Shulan's mouth twitched, and she asked him, "Where are you going to set it up? It's too late, there's no suitable place."
Jiang Jun smiled and said, "It's okay."
After saying that, he asked Shen Chengyuan to drive the car to the side of Meng's stall, then he directly lifted the covering cloth and started doing business.
Shen Chengyuan stood on the bicycle frame, holding a megaphone. "Aunties, sisters, it's going to snow soon. The heavy snow has blocked the roads. These are our last two batches of goods this year. Once they are sold out, only the supply and marketing cooperatives will have them. First come, first served. If you're late, I can't help you..."
Regardless of whether what Shen Chengyuan said was true or false, his goal was achieved.
As soon as he finished speaking, people passing by stepped forward to watch, and when they saw clearly what it was, they immediately gathered around.
"Are these really the last two batches? Oh my god, I've been waiting at the entrance of town for a long time. What the hell are you doing here?"
In this era, there is a shortage of cold-resistant supplies. Compared with a large cotton-padded jacket that takes several years to make, sweaters are still very cost-effective.
It can be worn as an inner layer in winter and as a coat in spring and autumn. It appears in public so often that everyone wants to have one or two.
As long as someone comes around, there’s no need to greet them later.
It is human nature to watch the fun. Even if they don’t buy anything, they will come here just out of curiosity.
Shen Chengyuan and Jiang Jun were busy loading the goods and collecting the money, and they were having a lot of fun.
Shen Chengyuan is a talkative person who keeps talking. After handing the wool to the person, he also promotes the Meng family's stall next door.
"I don't want to buy ready-made pants, aunt, sister, I only have a limited amount of stuff, only a dozen pairs, and I don't know if I'll get them again. If you miss this opportunity, you might have to wait for another year. This is a rare opportunity!"
After Shen Chengyuan’s promotion, many people indeed went to see the pants.
Meng Shulan watched all this with her mouth wide open, then quickly ran back to the stall to help.
Seeing her leave, Gu Hansong also returned to his stall, but he did not help sell goods. Instead, he stood quietly a few steps away, observing everyone who came to buy things.
At this moment, even though he was in a busy city, his mind was empty.
He could judge from the expressions of those people, the movement of their lips, and the slight emotions in their eyes when they picked up the goods, how satisfied these people were, whether their needs were met, and whether they felt temporarily relaxed after buying these things, or whether they had completely let go of the matter.
By collecting this data, he can make a decision about the future business, whether to continue selling wool or stop and do something else.
The wool on the mule cart was bought by people like water.
In less than half an hour, only a little bit of the more than 600 balls of wool was left.
Jiang Jun asked Shen Chengyuan to collect the money and watch the stall. He came to Gu Hansong and handed him the newspaper in his hand.
He had just bought the newspaper at the post office. Gu Hansong wanted to read it and had never missed a single issue.
Earlier, the three of them drove to the town to do business. When they arrived at the town entrance, they were about to set up the racks to unload the goods, but Gu Hansong suggested going to the supply and marketing cooperative to take a look.
At first, Jiang Jun didn't understand why this man suddenly wanted to change places. When he arrived, he realized that he was chasing the girl from the Meng family.
It was just a coincidence that the few of them happened to run into people from the supply and marketing cooperative who were causing trouble for them.
Gu Hansong arranged for him to go to the town office to call for help, which led to the Meng family's stall being in trouble. Director Tang ran into them when he was patrolling the streets.
Therefore, most of what you think are coincidences are actually carefully designed by others.
Jiang Jun invited Director Tang and then sent him away. After that, he wanted to avoid being noticed and hid in the crowd without showing up.
Jiang Jun: "I just asked about the license, and Director Tang said there has been no clear response from above, so let's wait a little longer."
Gu Hansong nodded. It seemed that the release would be either this month or next month. It would be released soon.
Gu Hansong: "I will sell the wool for another half a month, and then I will go around the nearby towns and stop doing it."
Earlier, Shen Chengyuan said through a loudspeaker that these goods were the last two batches. He was just making a casual remark to create momentum and get everyone to speed up their pace to buy things, but he didn't expect his words to come true.
Jiang Jun said "hmm", and asked tentatively and cautiously: "So which direction should we go next? Go to South City to check out the goods?"
Gu Hansong had raised this issue before, saying that some private processing factories had already appeared along the coastal areas and that as long as one had money, one could get something.
At that time, Gu Hansong told him that the Chinese New Year would be just around the corner in two or three months, and he could make some money either by selling clothes or supplementary food.
But now…
Jiang Jun turned his head to look at the Meng family's stall not far away, and felt that the only option now was to sell non-staple food.
Next to him, Gu Hansong also looked in the direction he was looking.
The goods over there are almost sold out, with only a few left, and more than a dozen people are surrounding them to pick them out.
Gu Hansong: "Let's see what happens then."
The woolen yarn stall next door was cleared out in half an hour. At the Meng family's side, the last pair of trousers was bought by a woman with quick eyes and hands.
On the first day of business, I sold more than 40 pairs of pants, which took more than an hour.
Although it can't compare to other people's woolen yarn stalls, it is also very good for the three members of the Meng family.
The mother, daughter and three girls smiled at each other.
Meng Changli said softly: "Mom, we have to buy some delicious food to celebrate."
He Jinqiu: "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it now."
Meng Changli: "Mom, buy some gray flour and fry some fried fruit."
Meng Shulan: "I want to eat too."
Meng Shulan hasn't eaten this thing for many years. After she got married in her previous life, the Han family was reluctant to use so much oil, so the food was dry every year.
"Okay, I'll go buy it."
He Jinqiu was going to the supply and marketing cooperative. Before leaving, he naturally thanked Shen Chengyuan. It was thanks to him that he stood up and spoke for his family, otherwise who knows what would have happened.
Shen Chengyuan felt embarrassed and wanted to give Brother Song away, but he saw him shaking his head at him.
Although Shen Chengyuan was just following orders, he was still a striker after all, so he deserved the thanks.
After He Jinqiu left, the two Meng sisters collected the baskets and prepared to load the racks into the car.
Seeing this, Shen Chengyuan and Jiang Jun ran over to help.
"Ladies, put it down, let's leave this rough work to us men."
The two of them moved the rack onto the car with one hand, and secured everything with ropes to prevent it from slipping.
A few people just stood by the car and chatted.
Shen Chengyuan knew that they also sold men's trousers, so he said he wanted to order two pairs. It would definitely be better to find a professional than to ask the old ladies in the village to make them. The whole village wore the same bucket pants, which looked like work clothes.
Meng Changli naturally had nothing to say. She walked around Shen Chengyuan and said, don't worry, she has already grasped the size.
Seeing that this man was very professional, Shen Chengyuan pulled Jiang Jun over as well and asked Meng Changli to show it to his cousin as well and reserve two.
The three of them were talking about the pants. Meng Shulan quietly went to Gu Hansong's side. When her sister's attention was not here, she asked Gu Hansong softly, "How is the last time I asked you to help with something? Did you find anything?"
