The old woman saw that the wild boar meat on the ox cart was of good quality and priced one cent cheaper than the pork in the supply and marketing cooperative. The one cent saved was just enough to buy a pound of cabbage at the supply and marketing cooperative.
"I want some leg meat, young man. Cut me three pounds."
Yun Yongcheng cut three pounds of meat, poked a small hole in the meat with a sharp knife, passed two twisted pieces of dry straw through the hole, and then twisted the two ends of the dry straw together.
In the 1980s, few people used cellophane bags to pack things, and only state-owned supply and marketing cooperatives used them.
Watching his father carry the tied pork to the old woman, Yun Mian thought this was a good idea.
Low carbon and environmentally friendly.
"Here are three dollars, young man. Count them."
The old woman handed a handful of change to Yun Yongcheng. Yun Yongcheng lowered his eyes and stared at the bills in his hand, feeling a little excited for a moment.
He works in a cement factory and occasionally has to work overtime. Including overtime pay, he only earns about 30 yuan a month.
It’s still faster to make money by doing business. I can make three dollars in a short time.
Yun Yongcheng tasted the sweetness of doing business for the first time.
After stuffing three dollars into his army green messenger bag embroidered with a red five-pointed star, Yun Yongcheng raised his head to continue shouting, but when he looked up, he saw a little creature spinning and dancing in front of the ox cart.
Yun Yongcheng was stunned.
What kind of dance is this little girl doing? She's spinning lightly on the ground on tiptoe, like an elegant little swan. It's quite beautiful.
More and more passers-by walked towards the ox cart, and Yunmian's little mouth curled slightly.
I’m grateful to my mom for forcing me to learn this and that in my previous life, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to help my dad attract customers now.
After Yunmian finished dancing Swan Lake, there was applause around the ox cart.
"This little girl dances ballet really well."
"She's good at ballet and has a cute pink face. She really looks like a little swan."
"Thank you uncles and aunts for coming."
Yunmian bowed to the uncles and aunts who praised her, stood up and got to the point.
"Uncles and aunts, my uncle and I are here to sell meat in town. The meat on the oxcart is ours. The weather is so hot. If we can't sell the meat today, it will go bad tomorrow. Uncles and aunts, are you here to buy vegetables and meat from the supply and marketing cooperative? Our meat is also very fresh and 10 cents cheaper than the one sold at the supply and marketing cooperative. Would you like to come and have a look?"
"So this little girl danced for us to sell pork. She's so sensible at such a young age, yet she knows how to help adults. Let's go over and take a look."
Yun Mian spoke with seven parts of sincerity and three parts of pity, asking for help. In addition, she had a lovely face, which touched many people.
Before Yun Yongcheng was ready, more than a dozen people carrying shopping baskets stood in front of him.
"Uncles and aunts, my pork is one yuan per pound. If you want to buy some, please line up and my uncle will weigh it for you one by one."
Yun Mian returned to Yun Yongcheng's side, raised her little hand and gently tugged at the hem of Yun Yongcheng's clothes. Yun Yongcheng finally reacted and echoed what Yun Mian had just said: "Please line up and come one by one."
In less than an hour, all the pork on the ox cart was sold out.
Yun Yongcheng patted his army green crossbody bag stuffed with banknotes, looking a little dazed.
He earned 185 yuan in less than an hour, which was equivalent to his salary for half a year.
Yun Yongcheng was in a daze for two or three minutes before he calmed down. He found a place to tie up the ox cart and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative holding Yun Mian's hand.
"Mianmian, uncle will take you to buy new clothes, new shoes, and some delicious food."
It was all thanks to Little One that we were able to sell 185 kilograms of pork smoothly today.
