"Director Xu, this is the way it is. It's better to believe something like this than not to believe it!"
Du Wanying hurriedly bid farewell to Director Xu and began her journey of selling earthquake-proof beds.
"Hello, comrade. I'm from the Huairen County Machinery Factory. Here's my letter of introduction."
The guard took the letter of introduction and looked through it carefully.
"We are a woolen mill, and we have never had any dealings with the machinery factory."
"Well, I have something I want to recommend to our factory. Could you please let me know?
At that time, people were simple-minded and there was no such corruption and bribery as in later generations. In this way, Du Wanying successfully met the director of the woolen mill.
"Director, take a look. This is the latest shock-proof bed introduced by our machinery factory."
Du Wanying took out the information she had prepared long ago and handed it to the director of the woolen mill.
"An earthquake-proof bed?"
Director Li of the woolen mill took the information from Du Wanying with a puzzled look on his face and began to look through it carefully.
"We don't need this thing, do we? Do we have to give everyone a bed to lie on while working in the factory?"
"Here's the thing, Director Li. Some talented people among us have said that there will be a major earthquake near us in the next two years. That's why our machinery factory has specially introduced this earthquake-proof bed."
"Oh, a folk legend? I'll consider telling the factory employees. Since it's voluntary, I can't guarantee anything."
"Thank you, Director Li. Thank you, Director Li. Thank you for your help."
Although she knew that Director Li was just trying to get her to accept her offer, Du Wanying still bid farewell to Director Li with many thanks and headed to the next store.
In this way, from the city to the countryside, from Huairen County to the city and neighboring counties and cities, Du Wanying knocked on the doors of many units with a letter of introduction issued by a machinery factory.
It is worth mentioning that after Xu Wenhan heard that Du Wanying had been promoting earthquake-proof beds, he insisted on joining Du Wanying in promoting them.
But he was still rejected by Du Wanying. However, Xu Wenhan did not give up. Instead, he relied on his father's network of connections to sell a lot of earthquake-proof beds to the machinery factory.
On the other hand, Du Wanying's business did not see much improvement. She went to many places, but sold very few earthquake-proof beds.
"What should we do?"
Du Wanying felt overwhelmed. No one could guarantee whether an earthquake would happen or not. She couldn't say that she had traveled through time, right?
In that case, there is only one outcome for me, which is to be locked up in a mental hospital.
"Yingying, Yingying."
My mother was shouting before she even came into the house.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"Come on, eat the canned yellow peaches."
"Mom, how can you be so kind? You know I love canned yellow peaches the most."
"That's right, you're a piece of flesh that fell from my body. How could I not know what you like and dislike?"
Zhao Fangling opened the can and poured it into a bowl, handed Du Wanying a spoon, and then touched Du Wanying's head lovingly.
"No, Mom, this doesn't seem like you. You never used to buy canned food just for me. Tell me what's going on?"
"Why can't Mom buy you canned food?"
"sure."
"It's been rumored that mothers-in-law should buy canned yellow peaches for their daughters-in-law, saying that eating the canned peaches will bring bad luck.
Mom bought it for your sister-in-law, so why not buy it for my precious daughter?"
"Mom, you're the best!"
Du Wanying went up to Zhao Fangling and smacked her in the face.
"Go away, you're being disrespectful! I think this is just a rumor spread by the people at the cannery. They're trying to evade bad luck, but it's simply because they can't sell their canned peaches!"
"Rumors? Unsold?"
Du Wanying seemed to have discovered a new world. She hugged her mother and took a few big bites, then ran out.
"Yingying, where are you going? Eat the canned yellow peaches first?"
"Mom, I'll eat it when I get back tonight."
As Du Wanying ran, she thought, "I'm a modern person, but how come I haven't even learned this kind of marketing trick? I'm so stupid!"
Du Wanying went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought two pounds of melon seeds and one pound of sugar, and then went straight to People's Park. In this era when there are no other entertainment activities, this is the place where the elderly are most concentrated.
"Auntie, do you know how to get to the brewery dormitory?"
Du Wanying aimed at a target. Just now, when this old lady was chatting with three or four other old ladies, she was the most talkative.
It has to be said that Du Wanying really has a way of judging people. The old lady who was asked was surnamed Ma. She was a retired employee of a hardware factory and was nicknamed "Ma Big Mouth".
Ma Dazui was feeling depressed. The old ladies she had just chatted with had all gone home to cook. She hadn't gone home yet because the old men were the ones cooking at home. She was worried that no one would talk to her.
When he heard someone asking for directions, Ma Dazui became interested.
"The brewery dormitory? I know, I know. Are you here to visit relatives? Why aren't there any adults with you?"
"Aunt, I'm going to my aunt's house. I haven't been there for a long time and I kind of forgot where it is."
Du Wanying scratched her head embarrassedly.
"Girl, let me tell you, the brewery dormitory is just down this road, and then it's just two intersections away."
Ma Dazui pointed in the direction and Du Wanying nodded in gratitude.
"Thank you, Auntie. Thank you, Auntie."
"You're welcome. Your aunt is known for her gossip. There's nothing I don't know about within a ten-mile radius!"
"Really? Auntie?"
"Is this true?"
"Then Auntie, let me ask you something."
"You tell me, as long as it's Huairen County, there's nothing I don't know!"
"Auntie, do you know where we can buy earthquake-proof beds in our county?"
"Anti-vibration bed? What is that?"
Ma Dazui was completely confused. She had no idea where to buy this thing, and she had never even heard of it.
"It seems my aunt doesn't know either. I'd better go to my aunt's house and ask."
Du Wanying was about to leave with a look of disappointment on her face.
"Hey, wait a minute, girl, you haven't told me what an earthquake-proof bed is yet?"
"Hey, Auntie, I think you're a nice person, so I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else, okay?"
Du Wanying pulled Ma Dazui aside and spoke mysteriously.
"Don't worry, girl. Everyone knows I'm a tight-lipped person! I promise I won't tell anyone!"
"Auntie, there's a man in our village called Wu Banxian, and he's incredibly accurate at predicting things. You know what? Some time ago, Wu Banxian predicted that there would be a major earthquake near us in the next two years!"
"Big earthquake?"
"Yes, Wu Banxian also said that this earthquake is very serious and will kill many people. He asked us to move away if possible. My family's ancestors have lived here and work here. Where can we move to?"
Ma Dazui nodded and said, "You're right, girl. How can we ordinary people just move away?"
