At that time, supplies were scarce and transportation was not convenient. Even in the faraway Qie Qie Supply and Marketing Cooperative, the things we needed were often out of stock.
Not only is it tiring, but it also wastes time, and even then you may not be able to buy anything.
So Qiao Jiangxin’s first sales trip went very smoothly.
The aunt who wanted to buy a sewing kit and the sister-in-law who wanted to buy Dacron for button repairs looked at the items and immediately turned back to go home to get the money.
Some people gathered around to watch the fun, while some enthusiastic people excitedly ran to the village to inform their good friends.
After a while, the aunt who had taken the money came, and people who came to watch the fun and wonder also came out.
After liberation, the first few years were basically a collective era, and everything had to obey the arrangements of the organization and the overall planning of the country to ensure the rational allocation of resources.
Except for the state-run supply and marketing cooperatives and other places, even buying food privately is illegal, let alone someone carrying things to sell door-to-door so brazenly.
Many of the people there had never left the village in their entire lives and had never seen so many rare things, so everyone gathered around and refused to move, chattering and talking, making it extremely lively.
Qiao Jiangxin looked at the many half-grown children at the scene, tore open a bag of candy, gave each of them a candy the size of a small green bean, and threatened to sweeten their mouths.
This was a big deal. Several children ran home to complain to their elders, while others continued to stare at the candy eagerly after finishing the candy in their hands.
When the parents asked, they were told that they could buy three bags for ten cents. Although each pill was only the size of a mung bean, when put together, it seemed like there were more than thirty pills in three bags. This was a good way to appease the eldest grandson at home, and he seemed to be able to accept it.
Two of the kids who came with their parents not only bought candies but also marbles. They were surrounded by their friends and looked so proud.
Listening to the aunt who was buying buttons talking about making clothes, Qiao Jiangxin started to promote elastic bands, "Aunt, you are making clothes, and you put on such beautiful buttons, so you must have elastic bands on the waistband, which is much more convenient than tying ropes.
You said that everyone has three urgent needs, and sometimes when you are in a hurry, the rope is harder to untie. This thing is good, it is retractable, you can put it inside your pants, and it is easy to put on and take off~"
Qin Xue followed suit, speaking sweetly, calling everyone "big sister" and "sister-in-law". When people bought pencils, she sold them erasers, and when people bought rubber bands, she sold them hairpins.
After selling a wave of goods, the Qiao family continued to move into the village. None of the women and children who came to watch the fun were willing to leave and all followed behind the cart.
There was no need for Qiao Jiangxin and Qin Xue to even shout out their wares; they were shouting even louder.
"Come on, we're selling goods. We have everything. Hey, Guizi, did your mom buy you some candy? My grandma bought some for me~"
"Hey, Huahua, didn't your grandma say she wanted to buy some matches the other day? We sell them here, hurry up and call your grandma!"
Qiao Jiangxin and his group moved slowly, walking all the way from the head of the village to the end of the village, stopping from time to time to receive guests. By the time they finished the round trip, a whole morning had passed.
Many adults who were watching the fun also had to go home to cook, and some asked reluctantly.
"Will you come again in the future?
Next time, bring a few more sewing kits. My younger sister’s family also needs some, but they haven’t bought any yet. ”
Qiao Jiangxin smiled with curved eyebrows, "He's coming again. Who knows, he might come again in a few days. I'll definitely bring more next time."
Coming out of Chejian Village, Qiao Youcai and his wife Qiao Youfu couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.
Although it was only one morning, a lot of things were sold.
There are about 200 households in Chejian Village, and the best-selling item is sewing kits, which are needed by every household. The two brought out a total of thirty kits, and they were all sold out.
