"Okay!" Yan Honglan was thrilled just hearing Yun Duoduo say that.
Although no one in their village dares to do business yet, feeling it's against policy, she heard Yan Qiuting say that while their village hasn't issued any official documents, there are already individual businesses appearing in larger cities outside.
Moreover, some people in their town are selling things privately.
If others can do business, so can they.
Moreover, the thought of earning money with her own skills was extremely exciting for Yan Honglan.
Yan Honglan immediately went to prepare breakfast for Yun Duoduo. Yun Duoduo didn't delay either, quickly ate a couple of bites, and then went to town with Yan Honglan.
Their village wasn't far from the town, only about a 20-minute walk away, and the two arrived quickly.
Today is market day in their town, and it's much more lively than yesterday.
Yun Duoduo noticed that there were people selling things by the roadside, but most of them were things produced at home, such as eggs and fruit from trees. However, they were selling them secretly and dared not shout out loud.
Most people still go to places like the supply and marketing cooperative and grocery stores in town to buy things.
Yun Duoduo felt that the town needed a leader to show everyone that they could do business openly and honestly.
She can be that person, the first self-employed individual in the whole town.
Without hesitation, Yun Duoduo, a woman of action, first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to find out about her third brother's business dealings.
Fortunately, the town's supply and marketing cooperative is just ahead.
She glanced at Yan Honglan beside her and asked, "Honglan, are you still going to buy things for the family? Why don't you go to the grocery store first, and I'll go find my third brother and ask him if he has any fabric for us?"
Yun Duoduo said she was going to ask her third brother for fabric, but what she really wanted was to come up with a reasonable excuse to take the fabric out of her space.
Yan Honglan glanced at the basket in her hand and immediately nodded, "Okay, we've just run out of salt and soy sauce at home, I need to go to the grocery store up ahead to get some more."
Yun Duoduo nodded. After parting ways with Yan Honglan, she entered the supply and marketing cooperative and went straight to her third brother Yun Zhijie's office.
Just then, Yun Zhijie was settling accounts when Yun Duoduo pushed open the door and called out, "Third Brother."
Yun Zhijie is 22 years old this year and has been working at the supply and marketing cooperative for three years.
After graduating from junior high school, he was admitted to his high school. After graduating from high school, with the help of his uncle, he got a job at the town's supply and marketing cooperative.
He is calm and composed, hardworking, and has a good eye for business; he never has to worry about selling the goods he brings in.
Although working at the supply and marketing cooperative was considered a secure job at that time, those with ability were still treated differently.
He looked up and saw Yun Duoduo. His furrowed brows relaxed, and he gestured for Yun Duoduo to come to his side.
Yun Duoduo ran up to him, and he tapped her head with his pen, laughing, "Why did you come to town? Your parents thought you would go home early this morning, so they waited at home and didn't even go to the fields."
After saying that, he hurriedly asked, "Are you doing well at the Yan family's house? Have any of the Yan family members bullied you?"
Yun Duoduo patted her chest and laughed, "Don't worry, no one dares to bully me. I'm the one who bullies others."
Yun Zhijie glanced at Yun Duoduo and smiled. That made sense; his sister wasn't one to be bullied.
However, remembering what Song Qinglian said yesterday about Ding Meixiang wanting Yun Xiaoqin to also marry into the family, he still asked worriedly, "Did your mother-in-law make things difficult for you? And is your brother-in-law really going to marry Yun Xiaoqin?"
"No, don't worry." Yun Zhijie was relieved after Yun Duoduo recounted the general events.
While talking to Yun Zhijie, Yun Duoduo looked at all the sample clothes in Yun Zhijie's office.
She immediately picked out a few items of clothing and asked Yun Zhijie, "Third Brother, how much are these jeans? And how much are these jackets and plaid scarves?"
"You've got your eye on these?" Yun Zhijie looked at Yun Duoduo, waving his hand and saying, "Take whatever you like, your second brother will pay for it."
Yun Duoduo's lips twitched. No wonder the original owner had so many clothes in her closet. It turned out that she had a powerful second brother who doted on her to the extreme, and he hadn't even asked for any.
Yun Duoduo really didn't like these clothes. She shook her head and said, "No, I was just asking. Tell me about them."
Seeing how serious she was about her question, Yun Zhijie came over and pointed it out to her, “A pair of jeans costs twelve yuan, this jacket costs twenty yuan, and a plaid scarf costs three yuan.”
These are indeed some of the most popular items of this era, and many places probably don't even have such trendy things for sale yet.
Yun Duoduo asked Yun Zhijie, "Second Brother, did you source these goods yourself, or do state-owned factories deliver them to you regularly?"
Yun Zhijie said, "Not necessarily. Some of the clothes in our supply and marketing cooperative are sent by the state-owned garment factories, and some I get myself from the south. The goods in the south have more styles and are more fashionable, so they sell better."
After saying that, he pointed to the clothes that Yun Duoduo mentioned and whispered to her, "These clothes are actually not expensive to buy, but if you add shipping costs, some damage, and other miscellaneous expenses, we need to sell them at this price to make a profit."
Yun Duoduo wanted to hear that. She had all the fabric in her space to make these clothes, and as long as someone made them, they would definitely be just as good as these.
She and Yan Honglan could partner up, or perhaps bring in a few more people, to set up a small factory. They could sell the clothes they made themselves, or wholesale them to her third brother's supply and marketing cooperative. They would never have to worry about not having business.
Moreover, they don't need to pay for shipping, and the losses during transit will definitely be much cheaper.
She smiled and asked Yun Zhijie, "Third Brother, if I could make something like this and sell it to you, would you buy it?"
"You want to do it? Do you even know how?" Yun Zhijie found it somewhat amusing. When did his sister develop such ambitions, wanting to start a business?
Yun Duoduo laughed and said, "Don't worry about it, I can do it anyway."
Yun Zhijie immediately smiled and nodded, "Okay, as long as you can make it, I'll definitely accept it. If I don't accept my own sister's, whose sister's will I accept?"
Yun Zhijie thought Yun Duoduo was joking, so he just brushed her off. How could he not know his sister's abilities?
This gave Yun Duoduo even more motivation, and she decided to go home and start working.
After exchanging a few words with Yun Zhijie, Yun Duoduo went outside to wait for Yan Honglan. Seeing that Yan Honglan hadn't arrived yet, she thought of her own space and decided to try to open it.
Therefore, she found a secluded place and tried to open up space with her consciousness.
It wasn't as complicated as she thought. She simply rubbed the birthmark on her chest, and the space opened up.
