After Zhao Baili was sent away, many elderly men and women who had witnessed what had happened came to Suman's stall to buy soybeans.
In just over ten minutes, one third of the soybeans in her basket were gone.
Unfortunately, after this group of people left, Suman’s soybeans became difficult to sell.
Su Man counted the pennies and dimes she had on hand and felt that it would be good enough if she could earn back the money she spent on the train ticket today.
One is that the things everyone sells are the same, and the other is just like what Wang Fugui said, the town is not a village, there are shops and convenience stores here, and they can only win by being cheap.
The price was already low, and after deducting the round-trip bus fare, it would be a lot if you could save a dime or two.
...
At noon, Su Man took out the vegetable dumplings she brought from home in the morning and quickly ate them with pickles.
Since she came here, except for drinking chicken soup on the first day, she has not eaten meat since then. She misses the life when she could eat meat whenever she wanted.
First set a small goal for yourself and earn a chicken.
With such a firm belief, Suman worked hard to sell the soybeans until she sold out the basket.
After deducting the ticket price, there was still two cents left.
Two cents is not enough to buy a chicken, let alone a feather duster.
Su Man thought about the toy she had promised Wang Fengye yesterday, so she took two cents and went to the store.
Just as she was choosing from the pile of toys, a man came in.
"Boss, do you have any chili peppers?"
The proprietress was a woman in her thirties, with big wavy hair and big red lips, very fashionable.
She laughed and said, "Where can I find it? I can't even buy it if I want to eat it."
The man smacked his lips. "Oh, it's true! Last time I went to the city just to buy some chili peppers. There are so many villages around here, why don't any of them grow chili peppers?"
The proprietress sighed, "Chili peppers are just a condiment at best, they won't fill you up. If they plant all that in the fields, they won't be able to sell it, and they won't even have enough to eat."
"Okay, if you come across chili later, save some for me."
"Don't worry."
...
The two people's casual conversation was heard by Su Man.
chili!
She hadn't seen anyone selling chili peppers on her way here. They only had rice, millet, and grits, along with some sweet potatoes and potatoes. There weren't many people selling beans or cucumbers.
The reason is that earlier people pursued food and clothing, and having white rice to eat was the greatest happiness.
So what everyone sells are just basic necessities, even fruits are not common.
But now people's lives are gradually getting better, and their need for food is no longer as simple as filling their stomachs.
If she can seize this business opportunity, getting rich will not be a problem.
-
The bus shuttled through the mountains and stopped at the entrance of Daming Village.
Su Man jumped off the car, and the soybeans in the basket gurgled in the basket.
It was already dark and there were no street lights in the village. She quickened her pace, thinking of getting home quickly.
Who knew that after walking a few steps, he saw a dark shadow coming towards him from afar.
Su Man didn't dare to move forward and quietly found a shady place to hide.
You must always be on guard against others, it would be bad if you encounter someone who takes advantage of you.
The footsteps in the distance were getting closer and closer. Su Man held her breath and waited for the man to leave.
Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice.
"Wife? Wife, are you there?"
It turned out to be Wang Fengye.
He waited for Su Man at home but she didn't come back, so he came to find her.
Su Man felt relieved and stood up to greet him, "Here."
Wang Fengye smiled as soon as he saw her, "Wife, I'm here to pick you up."
As he spoke, he looked into Su Man's hand and asked, "Where's my toy?"
Suman teased him, "Are you here to pick me up or your toy?"
Faced with this life-threatening question, Wang Fengye scratched his head and said foolishly, "If you didn't buy the toy, I would pick you up."
Su Man laughed and shook her head, "Okay, okay, it's getting dark, let's go back."
Wang Fengye naturally took her backpack and walked back holding her hand.
The moonlight was bright, and Wang Fengye's back looked very reliable in the dark night.
The dry big hand grasped her slightly cold fingertips tightly in its hand, making her heart warm.
...
When Wang Fengye came out of the house, the water had already been boiled, so Su Man could wash directly.
When she entered the room with the washbasin, Wang Fengye was sitting on the edge of the kang, looking at her eagerly.
Suman knew that he was waiting for his toy.
But Wang Fengye was really obedient. She knew the toys were in her basket, but she didn't look for them.
Su Man always liked well-behaved babies, so she didn't keep him in suspense. She bent down and took out a pair of glass beads and a simple plastic dart from the backpack.
Su Man felt a little embarrassed when he took it. We had agreed to buy him toys yesterday, but he only made two cents, which was only enough to buy these little gadgets.
"Well, you play with this first, I'll give it to you later..."
"Ah! Glass ball!"
Wang Fengye excitedly took the two colored glass balls from Su Man's hand, put them close to his eyes and looked inside, muttering, "Before, I could only let Xiao Huzi borrow them to play with, but now I have them myself."
Su Man changed the subject and said, "Yes, I bought it because I saw that you liked it."
"Wife, you are so nice!"
...
Wang Fengye refused to go to bed after getting the toy.
It was only when Su Man threatened to confiscate his toys if he didn't sleep that he reluctantly put the two glass balls under his pillow.
He treasured the pair of glass balls so much that he couldn't feel at ease even after putting them under his pillow. He looked at them several times before going to sleep.
