"Xinyi, get ready and come with me to the market tomorrow!"
Tang Xinyi was a little stunned when she heard Zheng Xiulian say this to her.
In her impression, there were no big markets in the 1970s.
Aren’t ordinary people not allowed to trade privately?
Even if there are exceptions, they are only in the days around the Chinese New Year.
Nowadays, if there are no festivals, how can we go to the market?
"Mom, is there a gathering tomorrow?"
Tang Xinyi didn't know what to say. She had no idea this happened.
"Yes, I have!"
"Xinyi, are you bored at home? How could you forget that we can go to the market at a designated place every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month?"
Tang Xinyi really didn't know this.
It turns out that selling things was not completely prohibited in the 1970s. It was just that at fixed times, people could take out their own things and exchange them with others.
It’s called an exchange, but most of the time you still have to pay for the tickets.
Barter can only take place when both parties are interested in each other's things.
"Ha ha!"
"Maybe I've been at home for too long, I'm a little confused!"
Tang Xinyi smiled awkwardly, then quickly returned to her room.
There will be a big market tomorrow, and people can sell things they don’t need at home.
Even workers in towns would come to the market to buy supplies.
For example, vegetables and eggs, which are available in every rural household, can basically be sold as long as they are brought to the market.
After all, people living in the city don’t have land.
Although they can earn more wages, losing their land means they have to spend money even on food.
Tang Xinyi estimated that her mother-in-law would also bring some things to sell tomorrow morning.
Thinking about the supplies in the space, can I find a chance to sell them tomorrow?
Thinking of this, Tang Xinyi sorted out the things in her space again.
Big items are definitely hard to sell, but small bits and pieces are easy to sell.
She will bring a basket to the market tomorrow to provide herself with cover.
When Jiang Yanzhi came back in the evening, Tang Xinyi told him about going to the market.
"Wife, all our money is with you. Go to the market with me tomorrow and buy whatever you want!"
"Don't save money for me. You have to believe that your husband is definitely better at making money than you think!"
Jiang Yanzhi hugged his young wife and kissed her on the forehead.
Now when he sees his young wife, he is full of energy.
Tomorrow is the market day, and he has something else to do and cannot accompany his young wife.
The promised goods should arrive tomorrow. He needs to sell them as soon as possible while there are many people at the market, and try to make some money.
"Aren't you coming with us?"
Tang Xinyi looked at Jiang Yanzhi curiously. Didn’t they say that the team didn’t have to work tomorrow and the people could have a day off?
What does her husband want to do?
"I won't go with you. There will be a lot of people at the market tomorrow. Be careful and don't get separated from our mother!"
"If you encounter danger, just shout loudly."
"There should be a lot of security guards wandering the streets tomorrow. If you see anything amiss, run towards them!"
Jiang Yanzhi was worried and reminded his young wife for a long time. If he was busy, he would definitely go with them.
no.
He has to talk to my mother again and make sure she takes good care of Xinyi tomorrow.
After giving instructions to his wife, Jiang Yanzhi went to his parents' house.
Tang Xinyi looked at Jiang Yanzhi's worried look and felt very happy.
As expected, she did not marry the wrong person. Fortunately, this man was not very serious, so he was not taken away by other women.
Otherwise, it would not be in her hands.
After a night of lingering.
Early the next morning, Tang Xinyi was woken up by Zheng Xiulian.
"Xinyi, we're going to the market today, you have to follow me closely."
"If we get separated, you should wait for me under the big willow tree at the market entrance. I won't go looking for you there if I can't find anyone!"
Each of them carried a basket, and Zheng Xiulian also had a backpack on her back, most of which was filled with things.
When they arrived at the market, many people had already set up their stalls.
Zheng Xiulian chose a place near a tree and set up her stall.
Then he placed the cloth shoes, gloves, headscarves, and hair ties he brought with him on the stall one by one.
Most of these are defective products that Jiang Yanli bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, which are internal employee benefits.
Although these are defective products, it does not affect their use.
Most of them are stained with ink or have some minor flaws.
The common people don't care about this little flaw. Although they have a little more food than the people in the city, these daily necessities are not easy to buy.
After all, you need a ticket to buy anything these days.
Tickets are one of the most difficult things for ordinary people to obtain.
"Xinyi, you stay here and watch over the stall. I'll go walk around the street and see what other people are selling!"
"Remember not to leave the stall. I've written down the prices of these things on a piece of paper. Just sell them according to the prices listed on it!"
After setting up her stall, Zheng Xiulian asked Tang Xinyi to stay at the stall while she went to check on other people's goods.
It is better to make adjustments based on other people's prices.
If no one at the market sells the things she has at her stall, she will raise the price.
Isn’t it said that things are valuable because they are rare?
