Then, seeing that there was no one else around, he mustered up the courage to knock on the door.
At first, the owner thought that Li Mingxi was deliberately looking for trouble. After all, he had never heard of anyone wanting to buy waste thrown against the wall. But after Li Mingxi's repeated explanations, people finally believed that there was someone who actually had this little hobby and liked to collect waste.
The daughter-in-law of this family is named Wu Xiumei. When she heard Li Mingxi say that the elderly in the family liked these things, she bought them back just to make the old man happy, and she immediately became interested.
Looking again, Li Mingxi's attire showed that he was a wealthy man. Although he did not have a local accent, his Mandarin sounded very nice.
She thought that the girl might be the child of a cadre, but otherwise, who would dare to look for these things at this time?
You know, at this time of year, although no one cares about these things, no one dares to show up!
Especially these old things, in the past, they could probably be sold for a lot of money, but now, who would dare to buy them?
If she wasn't careful, she would be accused of being a feudal remnant, that is, her father-in-law, who relied on the fact that he had worked as a servant in a wealthy family for several years and thought he was knowledgeable, so he secretly hid these things.
If she hadn't been quick-witted and taken out all those things to use as basins, their family would have been criticized and denounced long ago.
Li Mingxi saw that the woman opposite was looking at him secretly and thought that she wanted to raise the price. But that was not possible. The thing was too badly damaged. Even if he could sell it in the future, he didn't know how much it could be sold for!
He opened his mouth and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the woman.
"Little girl, you said your elders like these things?"
Li Mingxi nodded. "Yes, the old man is old and likes to play with these bottles and jars. That's why my family had no choice but to let me come out and take a look!"
"We have other things at home, can you take them all?"
Hearing this, Li Mingxi was stunned for a moment.
"ah?"
Wu Xiumei thought Li Mingxi was unwilling, so she quickly started to explain.
"Little girl, I'm not bothering you. It's just that those things at home are useless to keep. Since your elderly family likes them, I might as well sell them all to you!"
Seeing that Li Mingxi still didn't speak, the woman thought she was unwilling and quickly spoke to assure him, "Don't worry, we will definitely not cause any trouble for you!"
"Okay, since you said so, please take out the things!"
After hearing this, Wu Xiumei immediately smiled and quickly turned around to get her things, as if she was afraid that Li Mingxi would go back on his word.
Li Mingxi originally thought that they were just some worthless little things. After all, even if an ordinary family had a few old items, there was nothing to be shocked about.
Who would have thought that two of the things the woman took out were for royal use!
At that time, Li Mingxi was shocked. If she didn't know that she shouldn't talk nonsense at this time, she really wanted to ask where these things came from.
In this way, the transaction was completed with both parties being happy.
After getting out of the alley, Li Mingxi took the opportunity to go to the toilet to put the things he bought into the space.
Because of this experience, every Sunday, Li Mingxi would take the opportunity to wander around the alleys to see if there were any good things.
However, speaking of it, the imperial city is still different from a small county town. Although you can't receive things every time, the things here are more valuable than those in a small county town.
Li Mingxi never told anyone about her secret collection of antiques. When her roommates asked her about it, she said she was going to visit her younger brother.
On the first day of school, everyone had seen Li Mingxi's two twin brothers, so when they heard her say that, they didn't doubt anything.
Besides, anyone who can get into college at this time would focus on studying and would have no time to ask about other people's affairs.
In this way, over time, Li Mingxi slowly figured out the situation in Beijing City, and relying on her own alertness, she started doing business with people. She was responsible for collecting things, and then someone was responsible for selling these things.
Of course, Li Mingxi didn’t sell everything. She only sold some worthless gadgets so that she could have more money to buy things.
Otherwise, if someone finds out later that she has been collecting things, how will she explain it?
As time went by, Li Mingxi's business grew bigger and bigger. Later, she took advantage of the policy support and opened a small shop. She didn't sell anything else, just some cotton collected from the countryside. It was like a grocery store!
At first, the two younger brothers were a little bit incredulous when they learned that she opened such a shop.
Especially Li Mingde. In his impression, those who can open a store are all big bosses, but his sister doesn’t look like a big boss at all!
Li Mingxi didn't care what they thought. The purpose of opening a shop was just to get some strange things. As for the common cotton, peppers and other things collected from the countryside, they were all just a cover.
The two brothers didn’t know this. They felt that now that their sister had opened a shop, as a family, they must help out in some way. Therefore, whenever they had time, the brothers would come here to help!
Originally, Li Mingxi thought that she would have to hire people to open such a shop, otherwise, she would not be able to handle it alone. However, she did not expect that both of her brothers would come to help!
In an instant, her worries were solved!
In this way, during the years in college, Li Mingxi's business became better and better. Her shop was unknown at the beginning, but later, everyone would go to her when they wanted to buy some small gadgets.
Time flies, and Li Mingxi is now a senior. Although she is very busy with business, she has to consider whether to continue her studies or graduate directly?
The two twin brothers have already made up their minds that since they are in college, they are not in a hurry to graduate. Anyway, the money they earn in these years is enough to support themselves!
Li Mingxi was a little hesitant. Firstly, it was already the 1980s, and policies in all aspects were getting better and better. If she seized the opportunity at this time, she would definitely be able to achieve great things in the future.
But on the other hand, several professors have already talked to her, hoping that she can continue her studies. After all, there are not many foreign language talents like her at this time.
If she doesn't study, who knows how much effort the country will have to put in to cultivate such a talent in the future?
