Chapter 34: Visiting the City
Gu Feihan listened with great interest, carefully pondering her business acumen.
He has made considerable progress in the past few days - he has reached a preliminary framework agreement on bulk purchases with the township, and when he returns from Zhejiang Province, he can continue to discuss building a factory.
Su Xiaoli's ideas did provide him with some new development ideas.
Grandma Su was completely confused. How could a little girl like her know all these things?
Could it be that his father was in heaven and blessed his daughter to become wise? ! And with the blessing of various gods and Buddhas?
Apart from this, Grandma Su really couldn't think of any other reasonable explanation.
The old woman is always very firm in her beliefs. As long as she figures it out, it makes sense even if she doesn't!
To Grandma Su, this logic was flawless.
She was surprised and happy, her nose was sore, and in an instant she had recited the Buddha's name several times in her heart.
Unable to persuade her granddaughter, she could only set the rules for the sake of her son Su Jianguo.
Grandma Su gave her granddaughter a deep look and said, "Your father said that if your exam results drop after the start of the semester, you will not be allowed to do any business anymore!"
Su Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement without changing her expression.
Then he revealed a barely perceptible expression of pride.
She passed the test, so happy! She was a practical person and planned to go to the city the next day.
I have the impression that Shilu City has a bustling commercial street, which has been a place where large shopping malls and farmers' markets gather for decades.
Grandma Su was very worried:
"The city is different from the county, and you are not familiar with it, so how can I let you wander around?"
She didn't understand her granddaughter's business philosophy, but she believed that it was inappropriate for a pretty girl to go on a long journey by herself - yes, a city 50 kilometers away was a long journey.
Even if Su Jianguo's spirit were in heaven, he wouldn't be able to convince her about this matter.
On this point...Su Xiaoli had no way of convincing her.
Gu Feihan understood Grandma Su's worries and wanted to take this opportunity to spend more time alone with Su Xiaoli. "I'll go with her. Don't worry, I'll definitely bring her back safely!"
Su Xiaoli blinked and gave him a look that said "Little Guguai, you are so sensible."
Gu Feihan glanced at her with a smile, she was taking advantage of him, but there was nothing he could do, he had to spoil his own girl. ——The next day, before dawn, they both got up early.
Taking the steamed buns that Grandma Su had already made and a few baskets of snacks, we drove directly to the largest morning market in Shilu City, the provincial capital.
After more than an hour's drive, the two arrived at the Chang'an Farmers' Market, which was still bustling with the morning market.
Su Xiaoli was delighted and rushed in with two large baskets without waiting for Gu Feihan to park the car.
The areas surrounding the Changan Market are home to the staff families of Cotton Mills 2, 3 and 6.
The market was crowded with people in the morning. Su Xiaoli paid the market management fee directly and placed the packaged snacks on a temporary stall.
She put up a sign: "Candied dates, amber walnuts, mustard peanuts, spicy peanuts, sugar-roasted chestnuts, 50 cents per bag, clean and delicious!"
"Help me take a look, I'll go shopping."
Su Xiaoli said this and went shopping with a small basket.
Although Gu Feihan looked down on the small business of making a few bucks, he liked Su Xiaoli being rude to him.
The more impolite they are, the closer their relationship is.
"Go quickly, I'm here."
Su Xiaoli walked towards the crowded place, selling the samples in the basket to everyone she met, and pointed everyone in the direction of Gu Feihan.
"There's a spirited young man selling them over there. If you like them, go over and buy some."
She did not forget the main business. Selling things was secondary, the main purpose was to inspect.
Although the entire market was bustling, she did not find any competing products.
As for snacks, there was only one stall selling fresh peanuts in shells, and business was average.
Not to mention cosmetics, there was not even a trace of them.
Come to think of it, it's a farmer's market, at most they sell cheap clothes, scraps of cloth, zippers and buttons and so on.
When buying cosmetics, people will definitely choose big shopping malls.
More than half an hour later, she returned to Gu Feihan.
I don’t know if it was because the young man was too handsome or the snacks were too delicious, but the stall was surrounded by many older women.
There were a few old men outside who really wanted to buy some food and drinks, but they couldn't even squeeze to the front.
The ladies were picking and choosing, talking at once: "You are selling these dates too expensively! How much is pork with lard? Two bags of candied dates are as much as a pound of fat meat!"
"Are these the new chestnuts from this year? Why do they taste different from when I was a kid?"
"Which stall doesn't sell by pound? Why do you sell by bag?"
An auntie was too direct, without any preparation, she came up to Gu Feihan and asked, "Young man, do you have a partner?"
Gu Feihan had never experienced such a situation before, and was terrified by the questioning from the female comrades.
What's going on? Selling snacks means I have to pay for it myself? I'm so scared.
He looked up in panic, just in time to see Su Xiaoli, and pointed directly outside.
"There is a partner and a kiss partner! That's it, just ask her."
Gu Feihan finally recovered from the huge fear. It almost cost him his life...
Su Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him and said, “You’re so good at hiding!”
She didn't have time to settle the saliva with Gu Feihan. She stretched out her arm and took out a few bags of peanuts and walnuts and handed them to the uncles behind her. She collected the money and then squeezed back into the stall.
“Ladies and aunts, you have tried it, and you all know the taste.
These are all snacks made from ingredients that I carefully selected. If you want to sell them by the pound, that’s fine, and I’ll charge you two yuan per pound.”
As soon as these words came out, the older sisters and aunts immediately said: “……!!”
An old lady got excited.
"Two yuan a pound? Why don't you just go and rob it!"
Su Xiaoli didn't want to pay attention to her. "If you don't want to pay by kilogram, then the price is still this. Those who pay first can choose first."
These snacks were sorted by hand by her and her grandmother. Although each package was half a pound, there were some big and some small items in each package.
Especially walnuts and chestnuts, which are available whole or broken into small pieces. Who doesn’t want to eat big ones with lots of sugar?
Everyone has tried it and the taste is excellent.
Seeing that they failed to tease Gu Feihan, the older ladies paid the money without saying anything else and quickly picked the big one to be done.
Su Xiaoli warmly greeted the people who were paying and refused to accept the challenge from the old lady.
The troublemaker got herself into trouble. Seeing that the bags she wanted were bought by others, she became anxious.
Her eldest grandson lives with his grandmother all year round and only comes to see her once a month! Today is the big day that comes once a month. Her grandson is supposed to be home at noon, so she came to buy groceries early in the morning.
The child is so close to his grandmother that even a serious grandmother like her has no place to stand.
My grandson loves these sweet and spicy snacks...
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Just give me one pack. I'll give you a discount for buying so much!"
Su Xiaoli burst out laughing and picked out a few packs and handed them to her.
"No discounts, no price cuts, no discounts, everything here is the biggest!"
The old lady was also amused by her and gave her two dollars and fifty cents.
"If you're not big, I'll come back to settle the score with you later!"
