After leaving the sock store, they went to a store selling thermal underwear.
This place not only has thermal underwear but also base layers.
He Wenlin selected one hundred round-neck and one hundred turtleneck undershirts, all in black and white, at five yuan each, spending a total of one thousand yuan.
I also ordered 110 pairs of camisoles for girls to wear underneath, which cost me 450.
If it's thermal underwear, you'll need a lot.
The children's thermal underwear, both boys' and girls', cost 150 sets each, for a total of 2,900 yuan.
The children's thermal underwear, both boys' and girls', cost 300 sets each, totaling 7,000 yuan.
I bought 150 sets of men's and women's thermal underwear for adults, which cost me 3,800 yuan.
While packing and counting, Yang Gangyong quickly put the socks in his hand into the car.
However, for now, it can only be placed in the front of the vehicle. Placing it in the back compartment makes it easy to be stolen because the vehicle compartment is not sealed. Instead, it has a frame covered with a thick, military-green waterproof tarpaulin, which can protect it from wind and rain, but it cannot prevent thieves.
He Wenlin counted the money and paid, and then Yang Gangyong arrived.
He Shan: "Linlin, these items didn't cost much."
The money invested by just a few of them is over 20,000 yuan, and they haven't even used it all yet.
He Shan then said, "Let's get some other things too."
"Put these goods back on the truck first."
There were so many thermal underwear and base layers that filled several large bags. It took two trips to load them all into the car.
Despite the cold night, I was sweating profusely.
He Wenlin said, "Uncle Yang, please stay here and keep watch while we go in and take another look."
"Okay, you guys go ahead, I'll take care of this."
He Wenlin, along with her mother He Shan, pulled the cart into Sijiqing again.
Here, He Wenlin spent another 1,500 yuan to buy two coats for each person in the family, and two cotton-padded jackets for her grandmother.
He Shan also spent 800 yuan to buy herself two coats, and one coat each for her sister, her parents, her grandmother, and her maternal grandparents.
"Linlin, why don't we take some of these coats back with us? It's almost Chinese New Year, and we should give them to our elders. I'm sure someone will buy them too." He Shan wanted to buy everything she saw, thinking she could sell anything.
To be precise, she felt that He Wenlin could sell anything!
"Dear customer, we are a street vendor, and we can only take one size fits all. Many people are willing to spend money on their children, but they are not so generous when buying for themselves or their elderly relatives. Our customer base is low-spending people, so we cannot take these expensive items."
"There's still so much to learn."
He Shan admired He Wenlin immensely.
He Wenlin said, "Let's not go for this one, let's get something cheaper."
He Wenlin, along with her mother, selected forty uniform-sized elderly coats, twenty for men and twenty for women, at a cost of twenty-six yuan each, for a total of one thousand and forty yuan.
"Alright, now let's go get the others."
"What are you bringing in?" He Ma and He Shan asked in unison.
"Let's get some snowflake essence."
"Snowflake essence" is a dialect term that refers to face creams such as Ya Shuang (雅霜), children's cream (which costs one yuan per pack), and SOD snake oil. It is also known as "fragrant."
In fact, children of this era, especially those in the countryside, lead very rough lives. Most of them have cracked hands and rough faces.
At that time, rural areas were very poor and isolated from the outside world. People had no idea where to find work, and many even had to borrow money for transportation to work.
In economically developed rural areas, people can find jobs near their homes to improve their family's living conditions. However, people in economically underdeveloped areas still rely on farming for a living. If a family has two or three children, they struggle to get them into school and have no money or awareness to pursue material life.
He Wenlin and He Shan used to be the same; their hands would crack and their faces would be terribly chapped in winter.
This year is much better. He Wenlin bought a lot of face creams, and everyone in the family uses them. Their skin is much smoother this year.
“Then let’s go buy it now,” He Shan said with great enthusiasm.
The daily chemical products weren't here. They left Sijiqing, put the goods in their car, and then went to the daily chemical products wholesale market.
He Wenlin didn't buy the Ya Shuang cream, but bought a small bag of children's cream (500 packets), which cost her 300 yuan.
He Wenlin, holding the goods, said, "Okay, let's go home."
"Let's go back now, Linlin. Aren't we going to get something else?"
He Wenlin laughed and said, "Shanshan, you really want to invest all your money in here?"
"Things sell well during the Lunar New Year, so let's stock up and sell more. I'm even thinking of buying a garage here after the New Year."
"I understand your desire to make money, but haven't you considered the possibility of not being able to sell them?"
“I think if you say you can sell it, you definitely can. I have confidence in you.”
"I'm not a god in heaven," He Wenlin laughed. "We're only selling for this period, so this amount of goods is enough. We can go back to Shaocheng, have a good rest this morning, and then discuss the specific shareholding ratio this afternoon."
It was already 8:40 when we got back to the fast food restaurant in Caijiang Village.
Seeing that they had returned, Lin Fei and Tang Caihong quickly stir-fried some noodles for them.
"So, how much did you buy?" Lin Fei asked with a smug look on his face.
"We bought 700 yuan worth of socks, and the rest cost [amount missing]," He Wenlin said. "Now we're distributing the shares according to everyone's investment ratio."
“I have a vehicle for transportation, so I should take more…”
Actually, He Wenlin didn't need to bring them along with this amount of money, but he was confident he could sell everything, so he was willing to help his friends out, hoping they could buy a small house on mortgage after the New Year.
He Wenlin proposed that she invest 7,000 yuan for half of the shares, and that He Shan, Lin Fei, and her second brother each contribute an equal amount and share the remaining 50%.
