Chapter 7 He is my rival
She avoided the main roads that everyone took and walked along the side roads. She walked hurriedly all the way but didn't meet anyone.
Walking deeper into the alley, she took out the handkerchief she had prepared, clipped it with a clip to cover the lower half of her face, and found a good seat to sit down.
She specially brought a corn bun today, broke it into small pieces and put it on a plate, then poured some jam on it.
Put up another sign saying free tasting.
"Girl, what are you selling?"
The things she sold were special and soon attracted curious people.
"Sister, this is jam, try it."
Xu Ningjun dipped the steamed bun in jam and handed it to the woman, who squatted down and tasted it.
The sweet and sour taste bursts in the mouth, making people drool. "What is this? It's really delicious."
Seeing that this woman looked like a mother, Xu Ningjun smiled and continued to sell, "Sister, your children at home must like it very much. Why don't you buy some to try, and come back if you get used to it."
"How much?"
"piece."
“It’s so expensive, it’s crazy!”
The woman took another steamed bun, dipped it in a large amount of jam, stuffed it into her mouth, gave Xu Ningjun a blank look, and walked away.
Xu Ningjun tidied up the stall silently and squatted down waiting for someone to come.
After a while, there were more people tasting than buying.
She began to doubt whether it was really expensive, but jam outside only costs two or three yuan a bottle, so the price she offered was considered very cheap.
"Little girl, I want them all. How much do you have in total?"
A woman who had just tasted it turned around and squatted in front of her. "I just looked around, and the jams sold outside aren't as good as yours, and they're more expensive. I want them all."
"Okay, thank you, sister. Give me three dollars. Or you can give me two dollars and fifty cents. A few grain coupons, meat coupons, or cloth coupons will do."
Xu Ningjun's eyes lit up with excitement when he saw his first business. "Eating more jam is good for your skin. No wonder my sister is so slim."
"You little girl are so sweet. I'm already over 40, how can I be any lighter?"
"Ah? Sister, you must be lying to me. You are not even forty."
The woman was so coaxed that she couldn't close her mouth. She took the lunch box with a smile and said, "If you have any left in the future, remember to leave some for me. I will help you sell it."
"Thank you, sister. I'll give you a dime discount next time you come to buy from me. But you can't tell anyone, or I'll have to raise the price."
"Hahahaha, you really know how to do business, little girl. I like you. Let's go."
A lunch box of jam was sold for three yuan. The sister was happy and gave her an extra half pound of food coupons.
Xu Ningjun calculated that this business was a sure win, and her only gain was the candy.
Oh, there is also a lunch box. She feels a little sad when she thinks about it.
It would be nice to have those little jam jars wholesale.
She was thinking, when suddenly, "The police are here!"
There was a shrill whistle and the person outside was shouting. Xu Ningjun was stunned and froze for a moment. Is her luck so bad?
"Stop!"
Everyone was running away in a hurry. She was not as skilled as them. She put the things in the basket and could just pick them up and run.
She hurriedly put it away, squeezed into the crowd, and ran out of the alley.
She was running around in circles and might end up in a dead end. She was being chased. Just as she ran out, she suddenly saw a figure from behind.
Cheng Chuan frowned at the paper in his hand. The team leader asked him to come out and buy pig feed.
Their brigade was poor and could only afford to raise three sows, which consumed a lot of feed every month. He didn't quite understand the name of the feed, so he could only follow the brigade leader's instructions.
His arm was suddenly grabbed from behind. He turned his head sharply and met her beautiful eyes, blinking like a little fox.
"May............"
"Shhh."
"Hey, stop, what are you doing?"
Xu Ningjun took two breaths, turned around with a smile, and said, "Comrade police officer, what's wrong?"
The police looked the two of them up and down. The girl looked innocent and didn't look like someone who was into speculation.
He slowed down his tone and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Let's go shopping."
Xu Ningjun answered with a smile and shook the basket in his hand.
"Where's your marriage certificate?"
"He's my boyfriend, and our family is still preparing. We're getting married next month."
She blushed with embarrassment, showing the shyness of a young girl.
The policeman understood and said, "Okay, we're arresting speculators. Did you see that?"
