After coming up with an idea, Liu Meiyu went to the alley to ask for directions.
After walking around for a while and following a few people, she finally found the door, walked over and knocked.
After a long while, an impatient male voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
Liu Meiyun thought for a few seconds and said bluntly: "Someone just left your place and dropped a bag of things. Do you still want it?"
After waiting for a long time, the door creaked open and a tall, thin young man yawned and appeared at the door. Seeing that there was only a little girl standing at the door, he relaxed and asked lazily, "What fell?"
"Big brother, can I go in and talk first?" Liu Meiyu lowered her voice and asked politely.
The man was stunned and stared at Liu Meiyu. Unfortunately, the girl's thunder cap almost covered her face completely, and the man couldn't see anything. However, the pair of eyes exposed were quite beautiful, provided that you ignore the two matchstick eyebrows that looked like caterpillars.
That was something Liu Meiyu drew on herself with charcoal before she went out. It was ugly anyway.
"You are so bold. As a girl, you dare to enter a man's yard casually."
She was not afraid as a girl, and as a single man, what did she have to worry about? The man opened the door and let Liu Meiyu in.
"Brother, I'm here to buy something from you." Liu Meiyu went straight to the point.
The man paused, looked at Liu Meiyu, and did not respond.
"Don't worry, I really want to buy something from you."
The man was skeptical and frowned as he asked, "What do you want to buy?"
"Do you have a radio?" Liu Meiyu asked tentatively.
The man glanced at Liu Meiyu, his expression unchanged, "One hundred and sixty, no tickets needed, one hundred and fifty with industrial tickets!"
Liu Meiyun: "Brother, is this the price for one machine?"
"Do you want more?" The man thought Liu Meiyu was new here, so in line with the principle of being honest, he said to Liu Meiyu directly: "Sister, you don't know how difficult this thing is to make. I have to work hard to make a few dollars from you for just one. If there are more, I would want them myself!"
"Brother, I have some extra, do you want some?" Liu Meiyu said following his words.
man:"……"
"Girl, what on earth are you here for?" No matter how good-tempered Yao Shunliu was, he was annoyed by Liu Meiyu.
Liu Meiyu said seriously: "Brother, I have the goods, just tell me if you want it or not."
Yao Shunliu was not stupid and wanted to send Liu Meiyun away, but he saw that she didn't seem to be joking, so he patiently said, "I have to check the quality first. If the quality is good and has not been soaked in water, I will take as many as you have."
Then he spread his palm in front of Liu Meiyun, "Do you have any samples? Let me see it first."
Liu Meiyun didn't have any samples at the moment, so she just handed the man a list.
If Yao Shunliu didn't have a good temper, he would have been angry. But when he saw the list of components on the list, he was stunned for a moment and asked in disbelief: "You can make this thing?"
Liu Meiyun nodded, "Can you help me get these components? I'll make a sample for you first. If you're not satisfied, then I came here today to buy components from you. If you think the sample is suitable, then we can talk about a few dozen radios."
Liu Meiyun must pay for the materials first.
Anyway, Yao Shunliu will not lose anything, and he actually has a way to get those things.
So with the intention of giving it a try, he nodded and agreed, "Come back in two days!"
So, two days later, Liu Meiyun successfully assembled the first radio using the components Yao Shunliu brought back. After Yao Shunliu tested the results, he was amazed and said, "Girl, how much do you want to pay for the radio? I can get all these materials for you!"
Liu Meiyun was also unambiguous: "One hundred and one, I will give it to you, you are responsible for the materials, I don't care how much you sell it for or who you sell it to."
"Isn't one hundred too expensive?" Yao Shunliu complained, and started to find fault again: "Your appearance can't compare with those of the supply and marketing cooperative. If I take it out, I will definitely not be able to sell it for one hundred and fifty. At most, I can sell it for eighty or ninety. What will I earn? I can't lose money. I really can't do it."
Yao Shunliu thought Liu Meiyu was a layman, but he didn't know that Liu Meiyu could even write a book to teach him about sales techniques, bargaining, and psychological warfare.
"Forget it if I can't do it. I'll use this one myself." After saying that, Liu Meiyu took back the radio, turned around and left without any hesitation.
Yao Shunliu saw such a good opportunity to make money and was about to slip away. He quickly shouted, "Hey, don't go, sister. I was just joking. One hundred is one hundred."
Yao Shun bought 610 units from Liu Meiyun and sold them out. Not to mention 150 per unit, he could get at least 110 or 120 per unit. If he wanted 30 units, he could make at least 300 yuan. He got the components from his friends, so they didn't cost much.
So, without any setbacks, the two reached a cooperation agreement.
Yao Shunliu was responsible for finding components, and Liu Meiyu was responsible for assembly. Within just a few days, both of them made a lot of money.
As the year drew to a close, Liu Meiyun, in addition to taking care of Zhou Huiru, would go out every now and then. Sometimes she would bring Liu Bowen with her to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things for the family, or just take him around. During this period, in addition to rice, flour, grain and oil, she also bought new clothes for everyone in the family.
"New Year's Day is tomorrow. Don't go out today. It's so cold outside." Zhou Huiru was able to get out of bed and walk around, but she couldn't do heavy work yet. She sat on a bench, staring at the kettle on the coal stove while sewing shoe soles, preparing to make cotton shoes for Liu Meiyu and her brother.
Cotton and cloth were all purchased by Liu Meiyu for the family during this period.
The originally cramped house became even more cramped. Liu Meiyu was like an ant moving house. Every time she went out, the space in the house became smaller.
"Well, I won't go out." Liu Meiyu sat at the table and taught Liu Bowen how to write.
Before this time, she had assembled nearly twenty radios and had saved nearly 2,000 yuan.
If she works harder after the New Year and finishes assembling the remaining dozen or so units before Lu returns from the Long March, the money she has should be enough to last her for the next few years.
Although she traveled to this era of material scarcity, Liu Meiyu did not treat herself unfairly. She would definitely not be able to bear it if she had to eat corn porridge like everyone else and only have meat once a month.
"Mom, I heard from the auntie next door that there will be fish in the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow morning. I will get up early to queue up. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and our family will make braised fish." Throughout the year, only during the New Year's Day will no one stare at other people's dining tables every day.
In addition to the braised fish, Liu Meiyu also wanted to go somewhere to get an old hen to make soup, but she went to the supply and marketing cooperative several times and didn't see an old hen, let alone a chicken feather. But at least she bought a basket of eggs and gave them to Liu Bowen and Zhou Huiru, one a day. In just half a month, the complexions of the mother and son had improved a lot.
Liu Yongnian was very stubborn. No matter how Liu Meiyun threatened or tempted him, he just refused to eat the eggs.
Liu Meiyu knew that he was reluctant to do so and no matter how much she tried to persuade him, she gave up.
Just pay attention when you cook and try to find ways to nourish the old couple.
"It's so cold, why do you, a girl, need to queue up? Let your father go, he can withstand the cold." Zhou Huiru has been in much better spirits these days. Her daughter and son are by her side, and they are healthy. She is very content.
During this period of time spent with the young lady, she felt that the young lady had changed a lot. She became much more cheerful, had many ideas, was mature and stable, and made people feel particularly reassured. However, she spent money lavishly and bought all kinds of things for the house. The coat she was wearing now was a new cotton-padded jacket that the girl had someone make for her with the cloth she had asked.
At first she said a few words, but later she found that she had said a lot, but the girl just ignored it. She agreed to it in person, but she still took the same amount home when she got home.
After a long time, she got used to it.
I thought, fortunately, the son-in-law’s allowance must be higher than that of ordinary people.
"Yes, what do you want to buy? I'll go line up." Liu Yongnian had just finished his work and came in from outside.
Zhou Huiru poured hot water into his basin and said, "Buy fish. The girl said she'll make braised fish tomorrow. You should get up early and line up."
"Okay." Liu Yongnian wiped his face with a hot towel, and then washed his hands carefully with soap. He then put the two oranges he had been carrying in his pocket all morning in front of Liu Meiyu, and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang from school gave them to me. Don't you love roasted oranges the most? Wait until your mom finishes boiling the water, and dad will roast them for you!"
"Thank you, Dad"
"Dad, I want to eat too!" Liu Bowen raised his little head, looked at the oranges on the table, and then looked at his sister, looking pitiful.
Liu Yongnian gave him a slap on the head, "Aren't there two of them?"
Liu Bowen smiled with satisfaction and lay in Liu Meiyu's arms, being extremely clingy.
Liu Meiyu has been living a very stable life during this period. She sleeps well and eats well every day. She doesn't have to stay up late at night, and she doesn't suffer from insomnia. She also doesn't have to listen to her cell phone ringtone 24 hours a day. This slow-paced life has gradually become a kind of enjoyment after getting used to it.
I have a vague feeling that I have worked hard for half of my life in my previous life and am starting to live a retired life in this life.
However, Lu Changzheng sent a telegram yesterday saying that he would be able to arrive in Shanghai on the sixth day of the New Year, and that they would have to leave for their new residence on the tenth day.
Liu Meiyu is about to change her identity and go to a new place, and her heart is full of expectations.
