After making the appointment with the two, Shen Qianqian bought a pair of jeans to give them a good start. At this time, most people didn't wear bright colors; it was too trendy.
Shen Qianqian strolled around the large trading market again, preparing to head to her next destination, passing by an ice pop stall standing at the entrance.
One can't help but admire the stall owner's ingenuity.
It's so hot outside, selling popsicles in this crowded place is killing two birds with one stone. Shen Qianqian took the popsicles and slowly left the market.
Head to the antique street.
This isn't like ten years or so later; the antiques displayed at street stalls might actually be from the old Dong family.
West.
After browsing through several stalls, Shen Qianqian finally found one she liked.
However, she doesn't have much of a collecting hobby. After all, there are good old things here, but they are too expensive. She needs to save her money to buy materials. There are also some old things that are not so expensive, but she doesn't like them and doesn't want to waste her money.
A plump aunt with curly hair squatted down next to me and looked at it for a long time. In her right hand she was holding a cloisonné enamel hand warmer and in her right hand she was holding a wooden basket that had been antiqued last month. She looked at it again and again.
In the end, they actually decided to choose the old wooden basket.
The stall owner opened and closed his eyes and immediately started asking for an exorbitant price.
"Fifty dollars!"
After announcing the price, the stall owner told the tattered wooden basket an ancient story. Shen Qianqian almost couldn't catch her breath; this was such a rip-off.
If you put a broken wooden basket in their Five-Star Production Brigade, those skillful aunts and uncles will weave it for you for two yuan an hour.
Shen Qianqian called out to the curly-haired heir, who was surprisingly eager to pay for the poison.
Unable to resist, I leaned closer and whispered something.
“Auntie, choose the cloisonné enamel hand warmer in your left hand, it’s from the Qing Dynasty. As for the one in your other hand, it looks a bit like the vegetable basket the stall owner used to hold rice today.”
The plump aunt wasn't angry. She glanced at her and decisively switched to the cloisonné enamel hand warmer. However, this one was much more exquisite in appearance than the broken basket from before, and the stall owner immediately asked for 150.
Finally, Shen Qianqian helped out and the deal was settled for forty yuan.
The fat aunt was so happy that she wanted to use the money she saved to treat her to Peking duck at Quanjude.
Shen Qianqian swallowed hard as she listened, but when she looked at her watch, it was almost time to go back, so she could only say goodbye with regret.
However, the plump aunt seemed to genuinely want to invite her, as she asked for her name before leaving.
Shen Qianqian returned to the Shen family home just as dinner was being served.
Shen Qianqian smelled the aroma of the food and praised it to Wu Yunhua. The latter gave her a wink and whispered, "The old lady is back. Be careful later."
Shen Qianqian nodded.
She had learned from Wu Yunhua in the past few days that the person in charge of the money in the Shen family was Old Madam Lin. She was a mean and stingy person who would pretend to be a good mother in front of her son.
The story of the reunion between Old Lady Lin and her son Shen Jia is quite dramatic. Back then, Old Lady Lin and Shen Jia separated for some unknown reason. Shen Jia was adopted by someone else and stayed on as a cadre in the capital. It was at this very coincidental time that Old Lady Lin recognized Shen Jia.
It is said that the original owner of this body was unable to go to the capital back then, partly due to this old lady's "heart".
noodle.
When it was time for the whole family to have dinner, Shen Qianqian saw her grandmother. Unlike her grandmother's good friend, Old Lady Yang, her grandmother was very thin, and her eyes were fierce.
what?
Is this a sign of dissatisfaction with oneself?
Should I stand up for my old friend?
Shen Qianqian couldn't understand, so she put a piece of meat on her grandmother's plate. "Grandma, eat meat." Don't say anything more.
But it was obvious that this piece of meat wasn't enough to shut her up! She was only halfway through her meal.
Grandma Lin asked about what happened a few days ago, and said that Shen Qianqian did not respect her elders.
Shen Qianqian shook her head innocently.
"No, I have great respect for my elders. That Grandma Yang was bullying you. You only have two granddaughters, Miaomiao and me. She took advantage of the fact that we weren't accompanied by any adults at the time, so of course I had to fight back."
Shen Qianqian glanced at Shen Jia, the head of the household, who was silently eating and not saying a word.
“Dad, don’t you think so? If someone bullies you, you have to fight back. What if she takes advantage of you and bullies you again and again? You have to scare her into submission the first time she bullies someone, and that way she’ll never dare to look down on Grandma again.”
"...·yes."
Grandma Lin felt extremely aggrieved.
She had never before been unable to even get a word in edgewise.
She's only been away from home for a few days, and so many things have changed. This granddaughter is probably not easy to deal with.
Shen Qianqian didn't provoke trouble, and Old Lady Lin was still observing, not daring to intervene easily. In the blink of an eye, the time agreed upon with the Guanghei and Guangbai siblings arrived.
To show how much she valued this deal and, incidentally, to facilitate future transactions, Shen Qianqian decided to spend some money to treat her two future business partners to Peking duck.
Okay, this definitely wasn't something she wanted to eat. Is she really that greedy? No!
"Comrade Shen, the fabric has been received and is at my house. The two hundred you gave me for the delivery is still owed to me. I will return it all."
The brother and sister acted with unexpected speed and efficiency.
Shen Qianqian was very satisfied and would usually give them twenty yuan as a reward for their hard work.
Guanghei refused: "We can't accept this money. The money you gave us for the goods already included our wages."
Seeing that she was serious, Shen Qianqian put the money away again.
"Since you don't want the money, eat as much roast duck as you like when it's served. Don't be shy with me."
"And those cloths, please help me find someone to deliver them to Nanxian. I will arrange for someone to pick them up."
"This collaboration was very pleasant. I will definitely come back to you in the future. Once this batch of fabric is finished, I will definitely need a lot of fabric, and you may need to find a few more factories."
Shen Qianqian spoke lightly, yet gave people a sense of confidence that things would be successful.
Guangbai asked curiously, "Sister Chen, what are you going to do with all this cloth? Make shoes?"
After all, such rough fabric couldn't be used to make clothes; the only thing I could think of was making shoes.
Alright.
"Makes bags."
"Bag?"
Guangbai muttered, "What kind of bag can this kind of fabric make? If you want to make a schoolbag, military green fabric would be more suitable."
Shen Qian smiled faintly: "I just want to make a schoolbag, a new type of backpack, specially designed for children to use in school. The national enrollment rate is increasing year by year, so creating a schoolbag specifically for children to use in school would be profitable."
Guangbai was still a little confused, while Guanghei remained silent, lost in thought. "Comrade Chen, when your bags come out, can I buy one?"
Shen Qian smiled faintly: "I've been waiting for you to say that. I have great confidence in my products and plan to sell them in major cities. If you two siblings are interested, you can take some. If you don't like them, I can hire you to sell them for a hefty sum."
After the meal, the three of them became a little more familiar with each other.
Guangbai was a bit stunned when he learned she was still in high school. How could this seasoned businessman still be a student?!
Buying goods for hundreds of dollars right off the bat? I've never seen anyone so reckless!
