"Okay, I'll write a form and pay a ten-dollar deposit first."
Xie Linan took out ten yuan and gave it to Sister 꺶. Sister 꺶 handed Xie Linan the written order and told him to pick up the goods in a week.
After leaving the street, Ye Xiaozhen asked in confusion, "Since two pairs of shoes, one high and one low, cost seventeen, why did you give her twenty?"
This is like Xie Linan's style of doing things.
Xie Linan smiled and said, "Because the twenty is all our profit."
Ye Xiaozhen still didn't understand. "What does this mean?"
Xie Linan rubbed her head and said, "You are stupid but not smart."
Ye Xiaozhen: “…”
"Do you know how shoes are made?"
Ye Xiaozhen shook her head, "I know."
"No wonder, he made the upper of his shoes himself, but the soles are wholesaled from the factory. They sell them in pairs, so who sells you one? Grandpa's left leg is short, so he only has a thick sole on the left side. Do you understand?"
After he said this, Ye Xiaozhen suddenly realized.
"You are so mean. I will regret it when I realize what has happened. I sold you two pairs of shoes, but I have to use four pairs of soles."
"Hahaha, she's at a disadvantage. The soles alone are valuable. I gave her three extra dollars. Besides, her husband is repairing shoes next door. They can use the extra soles to exchange for old shoes."
That being said, even if it's a loss, I don't think I'll make much money.
At noon, Xie Linan took her out of the restaurant and asked her to take the bus back after lunch.
The bus into the city runs twice a day, and the two return trips in the afternoon are at 1pm and 5pm respectively.
She thought about it and didn't leave.
"I'll go for a walk in the city and meet you at Gongmen in the evening."
"You're going shopping by yourself?"
"yes."
Xie Linan frowned, looking troubled.
Ye Xiaozhen knew what he was thinking, and she smiled and said, "I'm stupid now, don't worry, I'm lost."
Xie Linan smiled awkwardly, then said worriedly, "But you've never been to the city before. What if you get lost?"
"Yes, I can read and recognize street signs."
"How many words do you know from your little education?"
Ye Xiaozhen: “…” It really hurts.
She went to primary school because of the country's policy of caring for the disabled.
But there is no compulsory education this year, and you have to take exams to enter junior high school.
Ye Xiaozhen was really stupid, she failed the exam.
As a result, she now only has a primary school diploma.
"Don't worry, I'm lost."
Xie Linan was still relieved and said, "My son has gone to work, so he will accompany you."
"No need, go ahead." She looked around to see where she could open a shop.
Xie Linan thought for a moment and said, "Then wait for me."
He went to the store next door to borrow a pen and paper, wrote a number on it, and handed the paper to Ye Xiaozhen.
"You are lost and found me. Find a way to call this number."
Ye Xiaozhen took the note and said, "Okay, I understand. Go ahead."
Only then did Xie Linan feel relieved and leave.
Ye Xiaozhen thought about it and finally decided to open the shop in front of the school gate, and it was an elementary school.
Because I live in the school dormitory, I can eat at school.
It’s the same in primary schools. Many parents are busy at work and give their children a little money to let them buy steamed buns at the school gate.
At that time, elementary schools still provided free lunch. Some children’s families could not prepare lunch for them, so they were asked to eat at the school gate and then go back to school for classes.
After deciding on a rough location, she began looking for a suitable store.
It is very easy to find stores at this time, especially those popular places where there are no vacant stores.
At this time, a shop with a key sign far away from the school came into view.
The key is placed at the school gate. What's the idea?
And the shop seems quite small, about 30 to 40 square meters.
But in her impression, the shops that make keys are usually three to five square meters?
She stood at the door and saw no one, so she called out into the house, "Boss."
A middle-aged male voice came from the room, "Hey, girl, do you want a key?"
This……
"I want to make a key. I want to ask if your store sells it?"
"Sell?" The other party looked at him strangely and shook his head, "Sell, sell. This house was built by my grandfather, passed down to my father, and then passed down to me. This is my family's ancestral home."
No wonder it looks a bit shabby.
Since it's someone else's ancestral home, it seems like it's a good idea to buy it.
"It's a waste for you to use the keys for such a store." She said casually.
The other party smiled and said: "This is my family's ancestral craft. In fact, I made no money, but I am reluctant to throw it away."
"Are you renting out this house?" Ye Xiaozhen asked again.
"rent?"
Ye Xiaozhen smiled and said, "Yes, in fact, you only have a few square meters to make keys for people, right? How about you divide this store, keep a part for making keys, and rent out the rest?"
"Ah?" The other party scratched his head and said, "I haven't thought about this yet."
Seeing him like this, Ye Xiaozhen thought there should be room for negotiation.
She said, "Then think about it carefully, brother. If it's possible, you can rent half of it to me. What do you think?"
"Well... let me think about it."
"Okay, I'll come back in a few days."
Such a big store is a waste, she thinks this matter should be discussed later.
After walking around for half an hour, it was almost afternoon, so Ye Xiaozhen went back to the agreed place to wait.
Her memory was pretty good, and she quickly found the way back.
But at this moment, a bicycle suddenly stopped in front of her.
Ye Xiaozhen was startled and looked up to see Xie Linan's smiling face.
She patted her chest and asked, "Why are you here?"
She thought she was being robbed. It was said that things were quite chaotic these years, and there were indeed many people who stole women and children and robbed them.
But it was not so rampant during the day.
"I'm worried about you. I've been following you."
Ye Xiaozhen: “…”
"I've already told you I'm fine, I won't lose it."
"It's hard to say. You suddenly got better and I asked you to go to the hospital, and you were willing. What if you suddenly became stupid again?"
This...you are stupid again.
Xie Linan patted the seat at the back and said, "Get in, let's go home."
I give in. He actually followed me for the entire afternoon.
"So your son really didn't go to work?"
"Well, the work is all arranged, so I have nothing to do for the day."
Really free.
It was already evening when we returned. Although the weather in May was still hot, the sun was as powerful as before in the evening.
Occasionally the breeze blows and it's quite cool.
Of course, that’s just Ye Xiaozhen’s feeling.
The cyclist in front was so tired that he was sweating all over.
He said, "It's time to buy a motorcycle."
In the eighth year, those who were better off bought motorcycles. On their way home, they often saw people riding motorcycles passing by, and Xie Linan was very envious.
But she remembered that motorcycles were cheap at that time.
