"Of course not. You don't have to worry about the supply. As long as you follow me, I guarantee there will be goods all year round."
Ye Jin's words gave Ye Xiaoli a reassurance. She nodded heavily and became full of energy again.
"Okay, I understand. I will definitely do my best!"
Ye Jin kicked the burlap bag placed aside. This time the whole bag was filled with radishes, weighing about 200 pounds.
"Can you finish these radishes in one day?"
"As long as there's money to be made, it doesn't matter!"
Ye Xiaoli is not tall and not very strong, but she is incredibly strong.
She bent down and picked up the radish. The radish was heavier than her weight and it was a bit difficult to carry it.
She found a stick, divided the radishes into two bags, carried them one on the left and one on the right, and tried to take two steps, but she was still a little staggering.
"It seems that 200 kilograms of radishes is still too much. You still need to get a cart and push it down the mountain."
Ye Jin looked at Ye Xiaoli worriedly. This girl was strong and stubborn, and she also liked to show off. She knew she couldn't carry the load, but she still tried her best to do it, not afraid that her body couldn't bear it.
"No, using a cart will be too conspicuous. The whole village will know that I'm pushing things down the mountain to sell them."
Ye Xiaoli firmly refused, and Ye Jin thought about it and decided to go down the mountain with her.
"Why don't we go together then?"
"Really? You want to come down the mountain with me?"
Ye Xiaoli was so excited that she almost jumped up, but was pushed down by the heavy burden on her shoulders.
"Really, let's go together."
Ye Jin easily picked up a bag of radishes and carried it on her shoulder. Ye Xiaoli stared at her with wide eyes and even stuttered when she spoke.
"Jinjin, when did you become so strong?"
According to Wang Fengqin, Ye Jin couldn't carry anything on his shoulders or lift anything with his hands. He would fall down if the wind blew. He just lay at home every day and did nothing.
Ye Xiaoli had heard too much gossip, and although she believed in Ye Jin in her heart, she was still affected.
"I've always been strong, but you just think I'm weak."
The two men carried sacks and walked around the back mountain towards the town.
Ye Jin walked very fast, and Ye Xiaoli followed closely behind.
When they arrived in town, Ye Jin was still calm and breathless, but Ye Xiaoli was already exhausted and panting.
"Jinjin, I didn't believe it before, but now I really do. You're very strong, even stronger than me. If anyone in the village says you're weak again, who am I going to get angry with?"
Ye Xiaoli put the sack at her feet, patted her chest, and gasped.
"Shh, don't tell anyone, just let them think so."
Ye Jin let Ye Xiaoli rest for a while. She carefully inquired about the sales situation of the previous two times and soon had an idea in her mind.
"There's a textile factory in town, and the women workers there earn quite well. Let's go there and try our luck today."
"It's easier to deal with women. Last time I went to the coal mine, the men there didn't want to buy anything. If it weren't for your method, I wouldn't have been able to sell those radishes at all."
Ye Xiaoli stuck out her tongue. If she relied on her brain, she probably wouldn't be able to sell a single radish since the price was so high.
"Just try it and you'll know."
The two men came to the entrance of the textile factory and disguised themselves.
Each of them wore an old set of clothes, wrapped a flowery scarf around their heads, and smeared some dust on their faces, looking very dusty.
"Your face is a little pale here, let me help you add some gray."
Ye Jin wiped a handful of dust on Ye Xiaoli's face, and her already gloomy complexion became even darker.
Ye Jin giggled when she saw it, and Ye Xiaoli also wiped her face.
"Your black is uneven here. Let me fill it in a little more."
The two of them spread out the radishes with laughter, and Ye Xiaoli carefully cut the radishes into small pieces.
These radishes are too expensive, so we have to adopt the method of eating first and buying later. If we don’t let everyone taste the sweetness, it will be difficult to open up business.
The two waited until the female workers in the textile factory got off work. They came out of the factory in groups of three or four, arm in arm, talking and laughing.
"I'm selling radishes. Sweet radishes grown with mountain spring water. If they don't taste good, I won't charge you!"
Ye Jin shouted at the top of her lungs. Her voice was pleasant to begin with, and with a sweet smile on her face, she looked very pleasing.
When she saw someone passing by, she enthusiastically handed over the bamboo sticks. The sisters and aunts passing by saw that she looked harmless, so they took them.
Put the crystal clear radish in your mouth, wow, it tastes so good!
After taking one bite, you want to take a second bite. Everyone has the same idea, staring at the radish in the ceramic bowl, wanting to eat it but feeling embarrassed to do so.
Someone who was quick to react had already picked a radish and was ready to pay. Ye Jin said with a smile, "Radishes are one yuan per pound, five yuan each, no bargaining."
Although the words were blunt, the service attitude was really good.
"This, this is too expensive."
This is the initial reaction of everyone who buys radishes.
Ye Jin was about to explain when an auntie who was passing by the textile factory squeezed in from the crowd.
Her eyes lit up when she saw the radishes lying on the ground.
"Is this the kind of radish that costs one yuan per pound and five yuan per piece? Give me ten!"
The aunt quickly picked out 10 radishes and put them into her cloth bag, then took out 50 yuan and handed it over without blinking.
The female workers in the textile factory were all very curious. The radish was sold at such a high price, and this aunt was so generous. Could she be a shill hired by the two little girls?
Before they could react, two more coal workers in work clothes squeezed in and each grabbed five radishes at a very fast speed.
"Finally I found this radish! I guessed it would be sold here today, and it turned out to be true!"
The two coal miners were very happy. They had just come out of the mine and had not had time to take a shower. Their faces were dark, and when they smiled, their white teeth were exposed.
The two men paid 25 yuan each without even raising their eyelids.
As a result of their rush to buy, 100 kilograms of radishes were sold out of the 200 kilograms.
There were only about 20 radishes left out of the 100 kilograms, which didn't look like enough. Those who were quick to react quickly grabbed two.
Regardless of anything else, just because this radish is so delicious, I have to buy some for the children to try.
However, those who are brave enough are a minority after all. After selling more than ten radishes, there are only three radishes left and no one is interested in them.
"Where, where, where? Where is the radish seller?"
A woman with a baby on her back rushed into the crowd at the guidance of others.
She picked up the last three radishes without hesitation, breathed a long sigh of relief, then quickly took out 15 yuan from her pocket and handed it over, still muttering to herself.
"Luckily I ran fast and finally bought it. I'm so lucky!"
Everyone was puzzled by the woman's words. Aren't they just a few carrots? Why was she so exaggerated?
"Sister, besides being delicious, what other uses does this radish have?"
"Isn't it just a carrot? No matter how delicious it is, it can't be sold at such a high price!"
"Radishes for one yuan a pound are outrageous!"
