Chapter 77: Meeting an acquaintance while setting up a stall and opening the business.
"Aunt, I went to Suicheng to buy some goods. I'm going to the market to set up a stall. I'll make some money."
Gu Wanxing did not hide it either.
When she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved, which was particularly contagious, and the old lady also smiled unconsciously.
"Oh, you're really hardworking. I'm going to the factory to ask about that for you."
"That's really troublesome for you."
Gu Wanxing said embarrassedly.
"Well, hurry up and go. I'll be there in a short stroll."
Li Fang waved her hand and said with a smile.
What the old lady didn't say was that she actually liked Gu Wanxing very much. She had that spirit of never giving up, and her words and actions were just right, giving people a very comfortable feeling. She was very good at dealing with things without smiling or talking.
I heard that they got divorced, and they didn't cry or complain about anything.
This energy is very similar to when she was young, strong and decisive.
Gu Wanxing didn't bother to be polite with her. He smiled back, got on his bike, and headed in another direction.
The small market is crowded early in the morning, especially on both sides of the market intersection, which are full of small vendors selling food.
They sell wontons, dumplings, noodles, buns, and pies, and business is booming.
Gu Wanxing looked around and found that he was still late, so he could only put his things on the vendor's side. In fact, people who bought things here would pass by.
It’s just that there are few people selling things, so it feels a little lonely.
Of course, the more people there are, the easier it is to sell, but there is no other way, it can only be sold here.
After choosing a place, she set up her stall and started selling.
She was well-dressed and good-looking. When she put up her clothes and set up her stall, she instantly attracted a lot of people.
But the vendors from the surrounding area were just watching the fun.
"Yadan, are you planning to sell clothes here?" A middle-aged woman selling fried dough sticks looked at Gu Wanxing busying herself and couldn't help but speak out of curiosity.
"Yes, big sister, this batch of goods I brought from Shanghai is in short supply. When I go to big cities, I see that people there dress in a completely different way than we do. So I bought two pieces, hoping that our northern girls can also look beautiful."
Her smile was bright and pure.
The older sister she was talking to couldn't help but look at her a few more times: "This is the style you're wearing."
"You have really good taste, big sister. It's quite fashionable."
Gu Wanxing was hanging clothes on the hanger while talking to her elder sister with a smile. In fact, she did it on purpose, otherwise how could she liven up the atmosphere if she didn't say anything.
"You know what, it's really pretty. Look at that silk, it looks much better in pigtails than on the top of your head."
Gu Wanxing's mouth twitched. She knew what the elder sister was talking about. When they were in school, they would tie their hair into a ponytail with red silk tied into a big bow. They would let the scarf hang loose and they would think it looked particularly good.
"Is your clothes expensive?"
Someone watching the fun nearby joined in the conversation.
Gu Wanxing turned around and said with a smile: "It's not expensive, but it's not cheap either. After all, it's in Shanghai. This is high-end fashion. I haven't found a house yet. If I find a house and put it up directly in the store, the price will be several times higher."
"How much money, just what you have."
"My most fashionable flared jeans are ten dollars a pair, and my top is hand-crocheted, so it's a bit more expensive, twenty-five."
Gu Wanxing felt that it was useless to say anything because these people were not the target audience and would definitely find it too expensive.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, there was a burst of gasps from the crowd watching the excitement.
"It's too expensive, why don't you just go and rob it?"
"Sister, these are from Shanghai. They all come from Hong Kong. You know, Hong Kong. They're the same ones worn by the fashionable ladies on our calendars."
Gu Wanxing smiled playfully and deliberately said something in Shanghai dialect to create an atmosphere so that people would think that she really went to Shanghai.
When selling something, as long as the cow doesn’t die, just blow it as hard as you can. Whoever blows it hard enough will sell it.
Everyone looked at her suspiciously, then at the clothes, and they all had a grin on their faces, unable to believe that a set of clothes cost thirty-five.
Gu Wanxing didn't explain too much, and they would accept it after the store opened.
The chatter of the street vendors soon attracted a group of female workers who were getting off their night shift at the garment factory.
When they first saw Gu Wanxing, they didn't dare to recognize her, but after confirming it, they all found it incredible.
How can a person change so much in such a short time? She was indeed beautiful before, but now her skin is so white and glowing that it feels crystal clear.
"Xiao Gu, it's really you. Are you quitting your job... to sell clothes?"
The woman's name is Feng Chunli. She works in their workshop and they are in the same class.
Of course, we know it.
When she saw Gu Wanxing, she didn't dare to recognize him.
"Sister Chunli, are you off work?" Gu Wanxing was very happy to see an acquaintance and hurried over to greet her.
"Yeah, you've changed so much. Why did you do this?"
"Something happened at home a while ago and I couldn't go to work. So I went to Shanghai and bought some clothes. I'm going to sell them and try to save some money so I can rent a place and open a shop."
It’s inevitable to exchange pleasantries when you’re acquaintances, but her clothes are really attractive.
From a distance, they saw the flowing skirts swaying in the wind, and a woman with glowing white hair smiling brightly.
That's why I came to take a look.
"Actually, you were right to resign. I don't think our factory is doing well."
Gu Wanxing smiled faintly and said nothing. She didn't respond to such words, otherwise it would cause panic among everyone.
"Your outfit is so cool, how much is it?"
Someone from another workshop, after picking up the hanging skirts, came over and asked about Gu Wanxing's clothes.
"My pants are ten dollars a pair, and my shirt is a bit expensive, twenty-five. But if you buy it, I'm just giving it to you as a gift. How can I make money from you?"
Gu Wanxing's smile was sincere, not as dull as before, and his words made people feel extremely friendly.
Of the seven people who came from the garment factory, six bought her pants and tops for thirty yuan a set, and Gu Wanxing gave each of them a silk scarf.
Another person spent twenty-five and bought a halter dress. The girl was about to get married and fell in love with the red dress at first sight.
In fact, although it is a suspender skirt, it has a short lace cardigan on the outside, which makes it quite dignified if worn at a wedding.
Before Feng Chunli and her companions left, they said they would promote her at work in the afternoon, and Gu Wanxing also gave her a small vest to wear underneath.
Feng Chunli was so happy that her mouth almost stretched to her ears.
All things are difficult at the beginning. After my colleagues left, two more people came. One bought a pair of pants and the other bought a skirt.
At noon, Gu Wanxing bought some wontons to eat.
There was no one around at 1 p.m., so she tidied up the simple clothes hanger and replaced the white dress in a prominent position with a red one.
I had just tidied up a little when an uninvited guest arrived.
"Tsk tsk—look who this is? Gu Wanxing, are you desperate and have started selling clothes?"
The woman spoke loudly and sarcastically, afraid that others could not hear her, and clapped her hands loudly to attract people's attention.
"This is retribution in this life. You kicked your man when he was in the most difficult time. You even don't want your own child. Chao Chao is only two years old. She needs her mother right now, but you actually abandoned her. How cruel you are."
"Come on, come and see this woman, she has a venomous heart..."
