Qiao Jiangxin took his uncle to the department store to go shopping as the family was lacking everything.
Not to mention food and daily necessities, even the family could not afford a single piece of clothing to go out and meet people.
The 80-85 square meter street stalls were the first golden opportunity for entrepreneurs after the reform and opening up.
At this time, the national economy was in its take-off period, materials were in short supply, and market demand was huge.
But in this turbulent era, setting up stalls also requires wisdom and great courage.
Qiao Jiangxin looked towards the street and saw people pushing boxes wrapped tightly in quilts and selling popsicles.
There are also snack stalls, ghostwriting stalls, and even lighter and pot repair stalls.
There is also a shoe repair stall on the corner of the street.
At this time, worn-out shoes are basically repaired, but no one says to throw them away.
Although there are scattered stalls and many customers, both buyers and sellers are quite cautious.
Because there are no relevant policy documents yet, it's fine if you don't get caught. But if someone insists on using this as an excuse, they can't escape the charge of speculation and profiteering and cutting off the tail of capitalism.
After briefly scanning the street, Qiao Jiangxin pulled his uncle towards one of the tea stalls.
“How much is the tea?”
A woman carrying a child on her back asked enthusiastically, "Girl, cold boiled water is 1 yuan per cup, mint tea is 2 yuan per cup, and sweet water is 5 yuan."
Qiao Jiangxin looked towards the table and saw several large wicker cups covered with square glass lids.
"Two glasses of mint water, please."
Qiao Youfu pulled Qiao Jiangxin and said, "Jiangxin, I just need some cold water."
He just heard from the older girl that cold water is cheaper.
Qiao Jiangxin replied, "Uncle, mint quenches thirst."
The woman quickly took the lids off the two cups and pushed the cups outwards. "Brother, it's so hot out here, mint is cool. If you buy two cups, you can get more cold water."
Qiao Jiangxin handed over four 㵆 coins, picked up one of the cups and started to gulp down the drink.
Qiao Youfu was also very thirsty. Hearing that he could get more cold water, he didn't hesitate and drank it all in one breath and even got another half cup.
After drinking a gulp of water, both of them felt better.
Qiao Jiangxin took his uncle into the street.
She wanted to buy something, but she also wanted to understand the market and see if she could find any money-making opportunities.
At that time, television media and other media were not widely used, information was blocked, and the market supply and demand were severely unbalanced.
Information flow, capital flow and logistics flow cannot play a significant regulatory role, and there is no national trading platform.
The whole market was in chaos.
Suppliers can't find sales channels, and buyers can't find supply channels.
When I asked people, they kept it secret and wouldn't tell me.
Qiao Jiangxin took his uncle to visit the stalls one by one. If they saw something the family needed, they would go over to take a look. If they met someone with a friendly look, they would chat with them, but most people were very wary.
An hour later, Qiao Youfu's hands were full of things, including a kerosene lamp with a glass cover, several large pieces of cloth, toothbrushes, tooth powder, towels and other daily necessities.
The quality is excellent and the price is much cheaper than that in department stores.
Qiao Jiangxin squatted in a shop looking at shoes. She held up a pair of sandals and asked if there was a smaller size.
