Chapter 98 Opportunities are reserved for kind people
Li Ye rode his bike around the county town for half a circle and felt that there was nowhere to go, so he simply drove out of the city and headed for Shuangliu Town.
The bumpy rural roads seriously restricted the running speed of Xingfu 250. It took Li Ye half an hour to ride a road of thirty or forty miles.
Today is the day of the big market in Shuangliu Town. On the river beach outside the town government, thousands of people from all over the country gathered together.
The day before yesterday, Li Ye asked Han Chunlan to come here to get some sesame candy, and I don’t know where she is setting up her stall now.
Li Ye's motorcycle was very eye-catching, and before he even reached the market, he saw Jin Peng waving at him by the river.
Li Ye drove over and stopped, saying, "You came here in person?"
Jin Peng joked, "How can I not pay attention to what your boss Li Ye asked me to do and come over to take a look?"
Li Ye shook his head and said, "I told you not to take it too seriously. Just treat them as ordinary relationships."
Jin Peng said: "I know, I know. I asked Xiao Qiu to keep an eye on them and help you see their depth so that you won't be fooled."
Li Ye said unhappily: "How could I be fooled?"
Jin Peng smiled and said nothing more. The Han family's affairs have been circulating in Qingshui County for several months and have only now calmed down. Do you, Li Ye, only remember the food and not the beating?
. . . . . .
Han Chunlan got up very early today and pushed a cart to Shuangliu Town with her husband Niu Dali.
Although what Li Ye said the night before was very joking, the couple could only give it a try and believed it.
My father-in-law died early, and my husband Niu Dali is the only son raised by my mother-in-law. The couple has to carry all the burdens by themselves, without any brothers or sisters to help.
When she got married, my father asked for a huge dowry, but it took away everything from the Niu family. They had just paid off their famine, and now they encountered this misfortune.
If Han Chunlan didn't think of a solution, would she let her two children eat coarse food?
Go for it and make money.
When the couple arrived at the Shuangliu Town market, it was only around four or five o'clock, and the sky was just getting light, but many people had already occupied the grounds and set up stalls.
Han Chunlan looked around and found only a young man who looked like he was selling sesame candy.
He rode a rare human-powered tricycle, which was loaded with several large packages and two large sacks.
Outside the sack, there was a handful of sesame candy. He was eating while looking around. He didn't look like he was here to do business.
Han Chunlan came over and asked, "Brother, are you selling sesame candy?"
The young man glanced at Han Chunlan and asked directly, "What's your last name?"
Han Chunlan was stunned and replied, "My last name is Han, what's your last name, brother?"
"Your surname is Qiu."
After the young man finished speaking, he took out a large steelyard and said, "Come on, give me a hand."
Han Chunlan hurriedly helped him lift the scale and weigh the two large sacks on the ground.
"A total of 202 pounds, 200 pounds is yours, sign your name."
Xiao Qiu took out a piece of paper and asked Han Chunlan to sign it.
Han Chunlan only attended elementary school. She read the words on the note carefully twice before she was sure that it was a credit note.
The two hundred kilograms of sesame candy were sold to her on credit, and the price was fifty cents.
Han Chunlan took out the handkerchief that contained the money and said, "Brother, I don't plan to buy on credit. Please count it."
Xiao Qiu raised his head: "Do you want it?"
“.”
Han Chunlan was stunned for a long time, then lowered her head and said, "Yes, yes."
She signed the bill, called her husband Niu Dali over, loaded the sugar onto the cart and was ready to leave.
Xiao Qiu stopped them and said, "Hey? Isn't there a stall here? Where are you going?"
Han Chunlan said with a smile: "Brother, you have set up a stall here, how can we still steal your business here? Let's go somewhere else."
Xiao Qiu said, "No need. I will give this small business to you. I will change my business and sell something else."
"Small business?"
Han Chunlan was puzzled, but she soon saw what Xiao Qiu's "big business" was.
Xiao Qiu untied the bag on the tricycle, revealing her colorful skirt, and her neatly-fitting shirt and pants.
In addition, Xiao Qiu also took out a large photo and hung it in a conspicuous place in the stall. It looked like a photo of some kind of certificate with an official seal on it.
Niu Dali couldn't understand the official seal, but he was dazzled by those floral dresses. He felt that if his wife could wear a floral dress, it would definitely look very beautiful.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you open your stall and start shouting?"
Han Chunlan turned her head away from the flowery dresses and urged her husband to set up his stall and wait for customers to come.
She was very nervous, afraid that no one would help her, afraid that she would not make any money and that her work would be in vain.
But the situation was better than she thought.
In the summer of 1982, people were still poor, but a few cents was no longer an unaffordable sum.
Sweets, in this era, have a strong killing power on foodies of all ages.
Many villagers who come to the market, after selling their agricultural products and handicrafts, will spend a few cents to buy a big bag of snacks to entertain their children and show respect to the elderly.
Thirty or five cents may seem insignificant, but small business is all about accumulating little by little. When the money was about to be sold out, Han Chunlan felt that her pocket was actually full of money.
Although most of them are crude bills and tickets for sale, banknotes, even if they are coins, can give people a sense of security.
"Da Li, can you calculate how many kilograms you sold?"
"I didn't count! I was too busy to keep count."
"You idiot, can't you see how much candy is left?"
"Oh, there's one bag left. Add half a bag."
Han Chunlan did quick mental arithmetic several times before she estimated that she had sold sixty to seventy kilograms of sugar.
If this continues for a long time
[Li Ye is not lying. He said he could earn 1,000 yuan a year, and he really could! ]
"Dali, what do you think we're looking at?"
Han Chunlan happily shared her joy with her husband, but found that he was always looking at the clothing stall next to him.
The couple made some money today, but it was nothing compared to Xiao Qiu's clothing stall next door.
Xiao Qiu has been doing business non-stop since he opened his stall.
A group of people surrounded his stall, taking one item at a time, and collecting money until my hands were sore.
During the busiest time, Han Chunlan even asked Niu Dali to go over and help maintain order, otherwise it felt like they were about to be robbed.
Seeing that Xiao Qiu is almost sold out, it would be a lie for Niu Dali to say that he is not jealous.
Han Chunlan kicked her husband hard.
"Da Li, you should be down-to-earth and do your duty. Don't be too picky. We haven't figured out the hemp candy business yet! Why are you looking at other things?"
"I'm not greedy, I'm not. I just want to buy you a skirt, otherwise it will be sold out."
Niu Dali explained awkwardly, feeling aggrieved like a child who had made a mistake.
Han Chunlan said angrily: "Why do I need a skirt? Can I work in that skirt? You are just imagining useless things. Hurry up and sell it. We will settle the bill with them after we sell it."
Han Chunlan felt uneasy because she owed others money, so she paid back as much as she could today.
But when the show ended and she wanted to pay back part of the money first, Xiao Qiu refused.
"I'm selling these two hundred kilograms on credit. You can pay in cash next time you purchase more. In addition..."
Xiao Qiu threw a skirt to Niu Dali: "Thank you for helping me just now, big brother. This is a gift for my sister-in-law, don't dislike it."
"You can't do that. You can't do that."
Niu Dali took the skirt quickly, but insisted on paying for it.
The three of them pushed the deal back and forth, and finally Xiao Qiu took the original capital of three dollars and fifty cents.
"Brother, the cost of your skirt is only three dollars and fifty cents?"
"Why? Are you interested?"
Xiao Qiu blew out a smoke ring and looked at Niu Dali with a smile.
Xiao Qiu was selling skirts just now, but they were seven or eight yuan each.
Really dark.
Niu Dali Qiu Mai Lianbai: "No, no, no, I'm not greedy, brother, don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you."
. . . . . .
After the gathering, Xiao Qiu rushed to the river a few miles away and met Jin Peng and Li Ye.
"Brother Peng, I've seen them and I think they're both okay. They're kind, not greedy, and warm-hearted, but I can't guarantee anything about them in the future."
"Okay, go do your thing!"
After Xiao Qiu left, Jin Peng asked Li Ye: "What are you going to do in the future? Turn your aunt into a wholesaler?"
Li Ye said calmly: "Let's wait and see. Opportunities should be left to kind people and those who know how to be grateful."
"Um."
Jin Peng touched the top of his shaved head and began to think about something.
A kind person, a person who knows how to be grateful, isn’t that someone like me?
Hey~
Lao Feng will start writing after I finish the IV drip tomorrow, and will add more in the evening. I hope you all support me.
