Yang Yufen rode her tricycle with her two children to Badaling. I must say, there were a lot of foreigners there.
Yang Yufen didn't rush to display the items. Instead, she took her two children on a leisurely stroll around and discovered that these foreigners were indeed willing to spend money.
The same item costs one price in the department store, but here it's doubled in price, and people still buy it.
Yang Yufen's heart gradually calmed down, and she found that this area was still managed and the public security was relatively good.
Yang Yufen dutifully paid the management fee and chose a location closest to the management office.
I opened the suitcase, tidied up the things, and then made some food for the child.
After tidying up the children one by one, I took a rattle drum and shook it gently. The two children lay on the bamboo bed, and when I pushed them gently with my hands, they swayed like rocking chairs.
The children's laughter, combined with the thumping of the rattle drum, quickly attracted people's attention.
A translator was leading a group of foreigners and introducing them to the history of Badaling. When he noticed that most of the people's attention was not on him, but on the stalls selling bamboo products, the translator had a sudden inspiration.
"This elderly lady is selling traditional bamboo crafts, these are the twelve zodiac animals..."
The translator's enthusiastic introduction quickly aroused everyone's greater interest in these bamboo products.
"Auntie, how much is this for you?"
The translator asked in a low voice.
"Young lady, help me get some business, I know what I'm doing. These are two yuan each, these are one yuan each, these are cheaper, they're a bonus, and you can get a discount if you buy the whole set."
As expected, we wouldn't lie to our own people.
The translator gave Yang Yufen a thumbs-up and nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.
"This lady is a master craftswoman. If she hadn't run into trouble at home, she wouldn't be selling these things. This set of twelve zodiac animals is only two cuts each, and if you buy the whole set, you'll get a free pen holder with our Four Gentlemen (plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum) and poems by famous poets..."
The translator's sophisticated words further elevated the value of Yang Yufen's bamboo products.
When Yang Yufen saw the colorful money, she couldn't recognize anything except the numbers. However, seeing the envious look in the eyes of the administrator, Yang Yufen knew that this money was a valuable item.
"Auntie, don't rush off. I'll come find you in an hour."
The translator coaxed the group of foreigners into buying almost all the goods, and then left with them.
After the people left, Yang Yufen encountered another group of people who came to look at the items. They were clearly one of her own. Yang Yufen said, "One yuan, foreigner," and mimicked what the translator had said before, carrying a knife that was called a "wen dao" (literally "literary knife") or a "tu dao" (literally "rustic knife").
In this way, Yang Yufen sold several more items.
"Hey girl, is this you?!"
The old man at the management office gave Yang Yufen a thumbs up.
Yang Yufen was puzzled, so the old man from the management office continued to speak.
"We should really take advantage of these foreign devils. The young lady is learning quite quickly. One dollar there is equivalent to 1.5 to 2 yuan here."
Upon hearing this, Yang Yufen finally understood why.
"That young girl was really impressive, do you know her, brother?"
Yang Yufen asked to find out.
"I recognize him. That's Xiao Fan. He's a top student, majoring in English. He speaks three foreign languages: Russian, French, and English. Whenever we entertain these foreigners, Xiao Fan always brings them here. Almost everyone here knows Xiao Fan."
"That little girl is really amazing!"
She said it would take an hour, and Fan Juan really did arrive in just one hour.
"Come on, have some water, your lips are so dry."
