However, when Fatty got home and saw the wages Ning Jing had given him, he immediately raised his eyebrows.
They actually gave me two yuan, which isn't a small amount.
Over the next two days, Ning Jing didn't just have Fatty take them to the factory; she also took them on a leisurely tour of Pengcheng.
One day, Fatty went to solicit customers during the day, and then took Ning Jing and the others to stroll around the streets in the late afternoon.
The street was bustling with activity, far exceeding both Ning Jing's and Fu Hongguo's expectations.
A row of shops stretches down the street, a distance of several dozen meters.
On both sides of the road, there are many people setting up various stalls.
If you can think of it, you can find it here.
As she walked closer to the middle, Ning Jing even heard someone playing a cassette tape on a tape recorder.
Then, a sweet and charming singing voice came from the tape recorder's speaker, making people yearn for it.
"This...this is a tape recorder?"
Ning Jing took a few steps forward and stared at the tape recorder in the stall owner's hand.
You should know that in their village, only the village chief's family has a radio.
I would only take the radio out to listen to a segment each night before bed; otherwise, I would put it away.
It's not that the village is too poor to provide radios for everyone, but rather that these radios use batteries.
If you leave it out all day and then all night, how long will the battery last?
Those batteries are quite expensive. If we spend money every month to buy batteries and give them away for free, it would be better if no one in the family ever used the radio.
Moreover, the village chief felt that if he had known things would turn out this way, he would have been better off not buying this wasteful thing!
Even so, people are still incredibly envious!
Seeing this tape recorder here, with songs by singers from Hong Kong playing inside, how could Ning Jing not feel both amazed and excited?
Keep in mind, it's only 1977 now. After arriving in Shenzhen, she discovered that everything here seemed to have started to deviate from what had happened in her timeline since last year.
The tapes sent by the singers from Hong Kong must have been from at least the 1980s.
Those were brought over secretly, so they can't be considered genuine.
Because pirated cassette tapes often get stuck when played on a tape recorder, but they are cheap!
Her sweet and charming singing voice is enough to make up for this minor flaw.
In people's eyes and minds nowadays, there is no concept of truth or falsehood.
If it's cheap and affordable enough, then it's a good product.
After wandering around here for a few days, on the fourth day, Ning Jing stopped letting Pang Dun follow her.
Fatty was a little disappointed when he heard the news. After all, he could only earn 2 yuan a day. He worked himself to the bone all day trying to pick up passengers at the train station.
However, Fatty realized that Ning Jing and Fu Hongguo clearly weren't there to work, which was why they invited him to wander around.
In addition, Ning Jing was obviously older than Fu Hongguo, so as long as Ning Jing didn't nod, Fu Hongguo could only shake his head.
During these three days, Fu Hongguo observed, listened, and reflected extensively, learning a great deal.
When his sister-in-law led him straight to the electronic watch factory, he quickly understood the general reason why she had come here.
After deducting the travel expenses and food money that Ning Jing brought with her, Fu Hongguo still had 3,000 yuan left untouched, while Ning Jing only had 4,800 yuan left.
So, in total, it's only 7800 yuan, of which at least 300 yuan should be set aside in case of emergency.
So the actual amount of funds available is only 7,500 yuan.
For someone who owns a factory, 7,500 yuan is hardly a big deal.
