Chapter 48 Xie Yan Sings
Taozhi handed them the stall fee, a few coins. They were used to it and were counting the money slowly.
"Yes." After confirming that it was indeed three yuan, someone led Taozhi into the room and said, "Follow me."
He found a spot and said, "You'll be here from now on. What are you doing?"
Taozhi said: "I am Xia Yan."
Of course, none of them are real names. I originally wanted to call it Xia Yan, but I felt that this name is not suitable for a girl.
"My last name is Xia." He wrote a small "Xia" on the stall with charcoal. "Alright, we don't care what you sell, and we don't care whether you sell well or not. Just sell your stuff and don't cause any trouble."
He left after he finished speaking. Taozhi looked around the venue. It was very large and there were people coming and going.
She put the bucket down, leaving her with an area about the length of a row, which was enough for her to put it in.
She spread the cloth and took out all the exquisite and beautiful bowls and placed them on the table.
There were people next to her, but they were selling some strange things, some weird tree roots, and some stones.
Of course, there are also black shops selling clothes and normal goods.
It's just like the one that's open for buying and selling, except that this place is darker and a bit depressing.
As soon as Taozhi's bowl was put on the table, someone came to ask about it. She said that her bowl was so exquisite and eye-catching compared to the earthen bowls we have now.
"How much is this?" A woman came over, squatted down and picked up a bowl to look at it. The bowl was very clean, white and spotless without a single flaw. You could tell at a glance that it was not produced in the province.
Everyone knows that black people have a lot of things of unknown origin, and they don’t ask where they come from. Anyway, they can buy them as long as they have money.
Taozhi said in a buzzing voice, "Three cents each."
"Three cents?! So expensive?!" She took a look and felt reluctant to give it up. Nowadays, the earthen bowls used for eating only cost eight or nine cents each.
And this bowl, no matter how you look at it, is just for eating. It's so expensive, it's not worth it...
Taozhi thought about it for a long time before deciding on this price. It is really not cheap.
After all, three cents is still a lot at this time.
The woman stood up and left. Taozhi looked at her in dismay. She sat on the ground, waiting for the next customer.
Anyway, she can't lower the price any further. This bowl looks good and is clean. It's definitely worth thirty cents. It can't be too cheap.
After all, her bowl was too white, and soon someone came to ask again.
This time a man came with a bowl: "How much is one?"
Taozhi lowered her voice: "Sanmao."
"It's a bit expensive." He took a look at it. The bowl was very beautiful, with a beautiful lotus printed on it.
Taozhi continued to pretend to be an old lady: "It's not expensive. I'm the only one in the province who has this kind of bowl."
She is the only one in the world who has it, after all, it is refreshed by the space.
He glanced at her and saw her bright eyes: "Okay, give me five."
Taozhi didn't expect that it would open a store, and an uncle bought five of them!!!
She put the bowl down and wrapped it in newspaper: "Here you go."
He handed her a dollar and a half in change.
Taozhi took the money. Although it was a huge sum of one dollar and fifty cents, she felt very calm.
After all, he is a man who has seen the world——
The man filled the bowl and threw it away. He planned to give it to his friend.
Taozhi put the money into the space, and someone came to ask again after a while.
Perhaps it is the white bowls that attract the eye in this dimly lit place.
"Three cents? That's too expensive!"
Some people just answered the question, mostly women, who were frugal and thought they could eat in a clay bowl.
Most men come to ask about it and buy it if they like it.
Throughout history, men's purchases have been similar in nature—
The man put his backpack on the ground, squatted down and picked up the bowl. "This bowl is very beautiful. Do you have any more? Give me ten identical ones."
"Yes!" Taozhi took ten bowls from the bucket and handed them to him. He stood up and took a look at the bowls in the bucket and found that there were quite a few.
He took the bowl: "How much?"
Taozhi said, "Ten for three dollars."
He took out thirty dimes and handed them to her.
Taozhi took it, counted it, and found that there was no problem. She smiled and said, "Thank you."
The woman next to him touched the long-standing bowl and asked, "How much is this bowl?"
A small bowl costs three cents, but this is the first time someone has asked about a large bowl.
Taozhi squatted down: "A large bowl costs 40 cents."
She frowned, but couldn't let go of it and said, "I'll buy one."
She took out a few coins from her pocket until she had enough and handed it to her: "Here."
Taozhi felt that this woman had a story. She had been watching here for a long time. Others had bought their food and new people came, but she kept squatting and touching the big bowl.
She walked away with the bowl in her hand. Taozhi looked at her back without saying anything.
She thought she could write a small sign in front of her: 30 cents for a small bowl, 40 cents for a large bowl.
Choose another store name.
She thought about it and already had an idea in her mind.
Taozhi sold things until the afternoon, and only closed the stall when it was almost time.
She had a lot of bowls, so whenever someone bought one, she would keep taking them from the bucket without ever thinking of taking a break.
There was a piece of cloth in her bucket, which she used to half-cover the bucket so that others could see that she still had stock, but they couldn't tell her exactly how much was left.
It’s getting late, so I put my things away and plan to go home.
It is actually more lively at night, after all, this is the only place where business can be done.
But Xie Yan was coming to pick her up, so she had to hurry up.
After Taozhi went out, she put all her things into the space in a place where no one was around, put away her headscarf and handkerchief, and hurried to the Women's Federation.
Just as we arrived at the entrance of the Women's Federation, the sun was setting and Xie Yan also came on his bicycle.
Taozhi quickly ran over and said, "Thank you, Yan, you're here."
Xie Yan looked at her, then at the closed door of the Women's Federation: "Am I too late?"
Why doesn't anyone come in and out like usual? The door is even locked today.
Taozhi shook her head: "It ends early today."
"Wow." Taozhi looked at the place behind him: "What is this?"
Xie Yan temporarily ignored this anomaly. He was quite proud: "I went to the power company and I have become their temporary worker. I have to wait for them to apply before I can become a formal employee."
After all, the employees in this kind of state agency are all arranged by the state.
Although he has the skills, he still needs to apply.
"Wow, Brother Xie Xiaoyan is so awesome." Taozhi said with admiration.
Xie Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "This is the sponge I got from the company. I cut it and tied it up, and also dragged it a little longer, so it can also protect your thighs."
Taozhi took a look and sat on it. It was very comfortable! !
Very soft!! Like a sofa.
She looked at him with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Yan, you are so awesome! I will give you three candies as a reward."
She took out three candies and stuffed them into his hand.
Xie Yan put the candy in his pocket and stepped on the pedal: "Get ready, it's time to go."
Taozhi put her arms around his waist and said, "Today's sunset is even more beautiful."
