Early the next morning, Yang Niannian boiled a few eggs and left the family compound wearing her leggings.
Fortunately, the military wives were busy washing clothes at this time and no one was hanging around outside.
Otherwise, she would definitely be caught and questioned.
It was An An’s first time to go out to the city to play. She was very excited the whole time, staring out the window with bright eyes, as if she was traveling in space. She was curious about everything she saw.
After arriving in the city, Yang Niannian first took An An to see Jiang Yang and his sister. She pulled An An to Jiang Yueyue's bedside.
"Yueyue, this is the little brother I told you about. His name is An An, and he is one year older than you."
"An An, she is Yue Yue. The little girl I was talking about is her."
Jiang Yueyue was a bit of a social bull, and immediately called out with a smile, "Brother An An."
An An was a little embarrassed. Usually in the staff quarters, he played with little boys and never with little girls.
In school, whenever a little boy plays with a little girl, other students will laugh at him for being shameless and unashamed, which makes him afraid to have much contact with little girls.
At this moment, her face turned red, and she took out two eggs from her pocket and handed them to Jiang Yueyue, "Here are the eggs."
Jiang Yueyue's eyes lit up and her little hands moved. She then looked at Jiang Yang and saw him nod before she took the egg.
"Thank you, beautiful sister, thank you, brother An An."
She smelled the eggs and smiled happily, "It smells so good."
Yang Niannian and An An giggled at her cute appearance.
Yang Niannian couldn't stay any longer as they still had to set up the stall. Jiang Yang suggested leaving An An in the hospital to play with Yue Yue first and pick her up when she was done.
Having only met Jiang Yang three times, Yang Niannian was worried about leaving An An here.
"We don't know what time we'll finish selling the clothes, so we'll go straight back then."
Jiang Yang sent them to the hospital entrance and asked hesitantly, "Have you considered what I discussed with you before?"
"I am making money, am I not?"
Yang Niannian said crisply, "You have no money, I have no money, what can we use to collect junk? You should stay with Yueyue to recover first, and we will start working after Yueyue is discharged from the hospital."
Jiang Yang was overjoyed and made another promise of "going through fire and water", but was interrupted by Yang Niannian.
"Okay, stop talking, we're leaving first."
Yang Niannian took An An's hand and walked away. An An stood still. He took out two more eggs from his pocket and handed them to Jiang Yang.
"Brother, here are the eggs for you to eat."
Jiang Yang blushed and said awkwardly, "I'm a grown man, why would I need a kid's egg like you? If this gets out, people will laugh at me."
Yang Niannian urged, "Hurry up and continue, we are in a hurry to set up the stall."
Jiang Yang hesitated for a moment, but still took the egg and said nonchalantly, "Thank you."
The moment she turned around, she made a gesture of wiping away tears.
Yang Niannian: It’s really easy to be moved.
She led An An towards the city street and asked casually, "Why did you give the egg to Jiang Yang just now? It was for you to eat at noon."
"Brother Jiang is very thin, and his family must be in financial difficulty. When he saw me giving Yueyue eggs, he drooled. He must have wanted to eat them too."
An An was young and his speech was incoherent, but it was not difficult to hear that he felt sympathy.
This little guy is still very kind-hearted.
A child's development can be determined at the age of three, and his future at the age of seven. An An will surely grow up to be a responsible man in the future.
There was a large flow of people on Chengzhong Street, and many people were setting up stalls. Fortunately, she brought few pants, so they didn't take up much space.
I just found an open space, spread out my clothes and started selling like other vendors.
It was a bit awkward at first, but after calling it a few times I got used to it.
Yang Niannian had a nice voice, and she didn't shout at the top of her lungs, which made her voice stand out particularly well among the other vendors, like an oriole.
For the purpose of advertising, she wore the cropped pants she wore yesterday. Her long and slender legs quickly attracted the attention of some young girls, who gathered around her in groups of three or four to look at the pants.
There were many people around, so she pulled An An to her side and said, "Don't go anywhere. Just stand in front of me. After I sell the pants, I'll take you to eat delicious food and buy you some candy."
An An's eyes were as bright as stars and she nodded heavily.
Yang Niannian didn't have time to chat with her. She picked up her pants and started pulling them to sell to the girls.
"These pants are very stretchy. They can be worn by fat or thin people. They also make you look thinner. They are suitable for all ages and people. If you like them, buy a pair."
well!
Down and out.
When she was watching short videos, she complained about the pants that stepped on the feet. Unexpectedly, she became a seller.
He even wore cropped pants for advertising.
A girl in her twenties was holding a pair of pants, comparing them over and over again, and asking the price with great interest.
"How do you sell it?"
"Twenty dollars a piece."
"Can it be cheaper?"
They all live in Haicheng and know that the pants are not expensive, but the girl still wants to bargain, hoping to get a few cents off.
Although this was Yang Niannian’s first time doing business, she knew that the most taboo thing for businessmen was to lower prices on their own initiative.
She praised him with a guilty conscience, "Girl, these pants are of good quality. They are new from the big city and they are fashionable. I sell them at such a low price because I'm selling them at a stall. If you buy them in a store, it would cost at least 25 yuan."
"Hey, can you give me a discount? I'll buy it too." Another girl next to her spoke up.
"That's right, we want to buy one too. Give us a discount and we can buy one each."
When several girls were bargaining together, Yang Niannian pretended to be reluctant and reduced the price by one dollar for each item.
Several city girls were also happy to buy things, and each bought a pair of clothes.
These girls are not short of money, they just want to bargain down the price to find psychological balance. They always feel like they have made a profit and have a sense of accomplishment.
In less than twenty minutes, Yang Niannian sold four pairs of cropped pants and made a considerable profit.
Before selling the clothes, she went to the store on purpose. The prices were not expensive and were much more affordable than in the store. It was because of the scarcity of materials in that era and the small number of people doing business.
For this cake, whoever eats it first gets a bigger share.
"Little girl, how much are these pants?"
After the girls left, the stall was welcomed by a wave of middle-aged women. A fat woman carrying a basket of vegetables bent down, picked up a pair of pants and looked at them.
Yang Niannian held up two fingers and said crisply, "20 yuan each."
"With this quality, it's still 20 yuan a pair? It's too expensive. What kind of material is this? I've never seen it before. It's not as good as the one made by a tailor. Dacron pants are so durable and affordable. You don't have any business, do you?"
The auntie looked disgusted and pulled at the pants, ruining everything from the quality to the color.
Yang Niannian was not angry either, she greeted her with a smile. The old lady did not leave, which meant that she liked the pants and she damaged them just to bargain for a better price.
Sure enough, after haggling for a long time, seeing that she was unmoved, the aunt started to bargain. After haggling for a long time, the two of them finally sold one for 19 yuan.
There is a large flow of people here, with customers coming and going constantly. Some people bargain too hard and end up not buying anything.
Yang Niannian insisted on 19 yuan per piece and refused to give in. In this day and age, the influence of middle-aged women on spreading information is not small. She has been doing business here for a long time. If some customers know each other and check prices with each other, the one who bought the more expensive one will probably cause trouble.
Don't underestimate the mouths of old men and women these days, they are all intelligence agents.
